Sorry, My Interstellar Fleet Only Recruits Women

The Flame Elf King's flagship slowly docked at the berth specially prepared to welcome foreign guests.

Zhao Chen was waiting here early.

He looked at the Flame Elf King as he descended and greeted him with a smile, "Welcome, Your Excellency the Elf King."

"Is this the interstellar city-state built by your Dragon Empire?" the Flame Elf King asked curiously. "I've seen the name 'Chang'an City' in some information before, but I thought it was just a large starport."

But I never expected it to be so huge.

At least within the Holy Elf Empire, the Flame Elf King had never seen such a massive interstellar structure!

Of course, the World Tree is not included.

"Chang'an City is currently the political center of our Xiaolong Empire."

Many things within the empire, as well as the related political institutions, are all located here.

It uses T6 God Palace-level interstellar complex technology.

"There are several other such buildings within the Xiaolong Empire, each with its own name and different architectural styles depending on the needs," Zhao Chen explained.

The Flame Elf Queen nodded and said with a smile, "It seems I'll have quite a few surprises in the Dragon Empire this time."

"Then let's not stand here anymore."

Let's take a look around Chang'an first, and then I've prepared a welcome banquet for you all.

"Enjoy some of the delicacies of our Dragon Empire," Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Upon hearing the word "delicious food," the Flame Elf King and the elves who followed him underwent subtle changes in their expressions.

But the Flame Elf King still smiled and agreed.

The elves couldn't say anything at this point.

They could only follow the Flame Elf King and the Dragon Emperor to begin exploring Chang'an City.

It must be said that the internal construction of Chang'an City was truly remarkable.

Luxurious yet practical.

Furthermore, each area has a different style.

After taking a walk around.

The elves unanimously gave Chang'an a good review; it was remarkable that even these arrogant elves gave it such a positive evaluation.

It's easy to imagine how outstanding Chang'an was; at least in terms of its beautiful art, it captivated the hearts of these fairies.

After that, naturally, came the welcome banquet.

The venue for the welcome banquet was very simple.

It's an open-air private room in the middle of a lake, with a transparent floor below, allowing you to see directly into the pristine lake water and the food served in it.

Inside the private room, there was a large round table that could seat about twenty people.

This perfectly met the dining needs of both parties.

"Eating is a very important thing for me."

"And the fact that we can all sit at the same table to eat shows that we are friends." Zhao Chen smiled and led the Flame Elf King to his seat.

Zhao Chen's entourage, along with the Flame Elf King and his entourage, each occupied half of the large round table.

"Thank you very much for your hospitality, Your Majesty Emperor Xiaolong." The Flame Elf King forced a smile, then glanced at his entourage.

A look in their eyes reminded them that no matter what kind of food was served later.

At the very least, one should put on a good show, adapt to local customs, and give others enough face.

Even if it doesn't meet their dietary standards, they still have to eat some.

The elf attendants all had stiff expressions, looking ready to go into battle.

But soon, the dishes that rose up on the round table surprised them.

Half of them consisted of various fruits and vegetables, while the other half looked like meat dishes, but both were beautifully presented, giving them a very appetizing appearance.

Most importantly, some of those fruits and vegetables were actually specialties of their Holy Elf Empire!

"These are materials that I had carefully prepared."

In my country, food is the most important thing for people.

Nothing is more important than eating.

Considering the dietary preferences of our elven friends, we have specially prepared specialty fruits from the Holy Elf Empire, as well as some specialty fruits from our Owl Dragon Empire.

"We've also prepared some local specialties; feel free to eat as much as you like," Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Are these the Honeymoon Peaches of our Holy Elf Empire?" The Flame Elf King exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the familiar fruit cut into pieces before him.

"Yes.

When I returned from the Holy Elf Empire, I specifically brought back some seeds.

Cultivate and plant them.

"This is exactly the first batch that has matured," Zhao Chen said.

The existence of the T6 Purple Gold Eden-class starship can greatly shorten the growth period of crops.

The Flame Elf King picked up one of the pieces and put it in his mouth.

The next second, the Flame Elf King's eyes lit up.

This taste!

Water Moon Peach is considered one of the best-selling fruit varieties among the high-ranking elves of the Holy Elf Empire.

And what is presented to her, the Elf King, is naturally the best of each season.

However, compared to the Water Moon Peaches produced by the Dragon Empire, they are not even in the same league.

"Is this really something you just bred?" The Flame Elf King looked at Zhao Chen in surprise.

Zhao Chen nodded: "Yes, we have specialized crop cultivation facilities where we can grow high-quality fruits and significantly shorten the growth cycle."

I wonder if this training will suit everyone's preferences.

"This tastes...much better than what I ate in our elven empire!"

"Oh my god, I love eating these tiny fish-shaped fruits! But they're expensive and only about the size of a thumb, so it's not satisfying at all."

You actually raised one the size of a fist!

This food was so delicious!

The elves also began to eat, and the first things they tried were naturally the fruits that were specialties of the Dragon Empire. They were all surprised and full of praise.

Seeing the evaluations from these high-level elves, Zhao Chen was very satisfied.

It seems that I can explore a market in another universe in the future, and thereby open up trade with the Holy Elf Empire.

As far as he knew, those elves were all wealthy and particularly fond of enjoying life.

After enjoying the specialties of his own empire, the Flame Elf King looked at some of the fruit specialties of the Dragon Empire.

After tasting it, they gave it extremely high praise.

"I never imagined that your Dragon Empire would have such abundant and delicious fruits and vegetables as its specialties," the Flame Elf King exclaimed sincerely.

At this moment, Zhao Chen pointed to the foods that looked very appealing, but whose ingredients resembled meat: "I know that the elves have some aversion to these foods."

But you might as well give it a try.

The Flame Elf King hesitated for a moment when she looked at the food Zhao Chen pointed to, but decided to give it a try anyway.

When she picked up the dish and put it in her mouth, her eyes widened again.

"this......"

"These are actually all vegetarian dishes, just cooked in different ways," Zhao Chen said with a smile.

The food here is mostly vegetarian.

When Zhao Chen was in the Holy Elf Empire, he discovered that most of their dishes emphasized preserving the original flavor.

Similar to fruit platters and vegetable salads, they don't involve many cooking methods.

Zhao Chen had these dishes meticulously prepared, using mostly vegetarian ingredients, but through his superb cooking techniques, he created a completely different and delicious flavor.

Seeing the Elf King's expression, the high-ranking elves also began to curiously sample the food.

Their eyes widened in surprise.

This taste...

The welcome dinner has ended.

Zhao Chen looked at the Flame Elf King and said, "Your Excellency Elf King, I wonder if you are satisfied with this hospitality?"

"Very satisfied. I never expected that the Dragon Empire would not only possess advanced interstellar warship technology, but also such delicious food," the Flame Elf King remarked.

"Especially your planting and cultivation techniques, which not only allow you to cultivate the fruits and vegetables of our Holy Elf Empire in a short period of time, but also to cultivate them so well."

"If Your Excellency finds these things acceptable..."

"We can sell these goods for the crew members on the five million Elven interstellar warships that will be stationed in our Dragon Empire," Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Flame Elf King and the high-ranking elves all showed expressions of surprise and delight.

They are people who value these kinds of experiences, and since they have tasted better ingredients, they naturally hope to have more of these kinds of experiences.

"That's wonderful." The Flame Elf King even expressed his gratitude, saying, "We are truly grateful to His Majesty the Emperor for providing these benefits and support to our expeditionary fleet."

“We are allies, that’s only natural,” Zhao Chen said with a smile.

But Zhao Ruyue, who had been sitting next to Zhao Chen the whole time and watching all this, knew perfectly well that her younger brother was really up to something.

After enjoying this delicious meal...

Zhao Chen then arranged for someone to take the Flame Elf King and her accompanying elves to their lodgings.

Zhao Chen and Zhao Ruyue naturally completed their tasks for the day.

"Your hospitality this time is rather unusual."

They even prepared this special welcome banquet.

"You don't act like an emperor of an empire at all, but more like a businessman promoting his own products." Zhao Ruyue looked at Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen stretched and said, "If it can make my country rich, what's wrong with being a businessman?"

Moreover, my purpose is not that simple.

These look like simple fruits and vegetables.

However, based on our understanding of the Holy Elf Empire...

The high elves who rule the Holy Elf Empire, besides pursuing spiritual things, also enjoy natural fruits and vegetables.

There's even a saying in their country.

A fairy who loses her fruit will face death.

A piece of land that cannot grow fruit is hell.

It's easy to imagine how important these things are to them.

Zhao Ruyue was somewhat surprised: "They actually like these kinds of items so much?"

"Perhaps you cannot understand."

This is closely related to the local cultural environment.

Some interstellar races have a fondness for useless but beautiful gems, while others prefer to spend vast sums of money building houses on various asteroids, just so that their families can live alone.

And so on.

If we can grasp the characteristics of these interstellar races, we will have the upper hand when we make contact with them.

We have now succeeded in the first step.

The performance of the Flame Elf King and the other high elves is the best testament to their abilities.

The next step is the second step, which is to sell these goods to the five million Elven interstellar warships stationed in our empire.

Five million interstellar warships, that's at least ten billion elves.

We can sell low, medium and high-end fruit products to these 10 billion elves.

In this way, both the lower-ranking crew members and the higher-ranking officers can enjoy our products.

In the future, when they return to the Holy Elf Empire, they will also become promoters of our products.

At that time, we will be able to open up the market of the Holy Elf Empire without lifting a finger.

In this way, we can expand our grain trade market.

On the other hand, we have infiltrated the interstellar trade territory of the Holy Elf Empire.

What's the fastest way to learn about a country?

That is trade.

Trade allows you to learn about all aspects of a country in the shortest amount of time, and even gain access to a network of contacts.

We can also use this opportunity to establish our intelligence network in the Holy Elf Empire.

"Killing multiple birds with one stone," Zhao Chen said sharply.

Zhao Ruyue looked at Zhao Chen, somewhat surprised.

She never imagined that her younger brother had planned so far ahead.

"But those are all things that happened later."

The most important thing right now is to deal with the invasion that could swallow up civilizations at any time.

The Devouring Civilization is eyeing us covetously.

We previously drove away the henchmen their master had sent in, so they will definitely deal a heavy blow to us.

Even now, we have the Holy Elf Empire's five million interstellar warships stationed here as reinforcements.

But we also need to be prepared to deal with any situation.

"Don't put all your hopes on others," Zhao Chen said in a deep voice.

Zhao Ruyue nodded heavily, then said seriously, "The Sixth Legion Fleet Group of the Wyvern has undergone preparation and training for this period of time."

It has already fully acquired combat capabilities.

We are ready to draw our swords against any enemy at any time for the sake of the empire!

Zhao Chen looked at Zhao Ruyue, nodded, and said with a sigh, "Sigh."

It's a bit strange, really.

My initial thought was to provide you with a relaxed living environment, which is why I've come this far step by step.

But who would have thought that I would accidentally build an empire and become its emperor?

They established a royal Zhao clan.

Wan'er is currently the supreme commander of the Shadow Hunter Elite Fleet Group, while you are the supreme commander of the Sixth Legion Fleet Group of the Wraith Dragon.

Charlotte, needless to say, returned to work immediately after giving birth, without even having time to spend with her child.

Zhao Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze somewhat complicated: "I often wonder, is the path I've taken... really the right one?"

Zhao Ruyue looked at her younger brother and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Why are you suddenly so sentimental?"

This isn't like you.

Now that we've chosen this path, let's not think about anything else.

We'll all be traveling together.

"Don't be afraid!"
