Lu Chen felt like he had started a strategic game like Civilization or Stellaris, except the nations were replaced by worlds in the multiverse.
And he was a naked, starting-out native.
This dimensional diplomacy ability was actually quite powerful. Even a demon god might not have the ability to view the multiverse as a map, let alone the ability to traverse other worlds unconditionally. It had a very high ceiling.
However, looking at the seemingly god-like neighbors around him, Lu Chen had a subtle feeling of "I'm so bad at this."
"Let's figure out how to solve the initial quest first."
Recruiting 20 people. He could only find them from other worlds. He couldn't self-replicate.
Lu Chen scanned the map, his gaze finally landing on the Honkai universe and the Azur Lane world.
Considering the unpredictability of Honkai energy, he decided to contact the Azur Lane shipgirls first.
He had, of course, played this game.
The main content was fighting Sirens with the shipgirls.
Its unique feature... is that it's exceptionally lewd, constantly teetering on the edge of R18.
Thanks to these military-themed anthropomorphic games, now even the biggest otaku would call a Type 055 Destroyer their wife.
He tapped the star chart, and detailed information about the Azur Lane world appeared before him:
【Azur Lane (Pre-Space Age)】
A world dominated by oceans, inhabited by creatures called "Shipgirls" who engage in an ongoing war against the Sirens.
This world possesses a unique technology tree, with highly developed military technology and a small amount of magical power.
【Comparison of Strengths:】
Technological Level: God-like.
Military Strength: God-like.
Economic Strength: God-like.
【Diplomacy】
Lu Chen tapped the holographic interface.
Sizzle - sizzle -
The screen flickered.
【Connecting to faction leader…】
【Language auto-translation system loaded…】
【Communication established!】
Azur Lane world, within the port area.
A blonde shipgirl working at her desk suddenly jolted.
Looking up, a holographic screen the size of a movie screen abruptly unfolded before her.
Lu Chen's avatar was clearly projected onto it, waving at her:
"Hello? Hello? Can you hear me?"
It seemed he had contacted the nominal leader of the Azur Lane world.
"Eh?!"
The shipgirl was startled, spilling her coffee all over the desk.
After hurriedly cleaning the desk, she looked around, noticing the holographic screen before her.
She steadied herself, straightened her clothes, and cautiously manifested her ship outfit, staring at Lu Chen:
"Uh... Hello?"
"Hello, this is the Azur Lane Grand Port Area."
"I'm the first ship of the Richelieu-class battleships, the free and independent Richelieu. Who are you...? "
The two communicated through holographic projection, across worlds.
The girl had blonde hair and purple eyes, with long hair. She wore a red and white dress.
The shipgirls' beauty far surpassed humans. Even the most beautiful actresses on Earth would pale in comparison.
Of course, the most eye-catching aspect was her ship outfit.
Two quadruple-barreled main guns were particularly noticeable, with numerous secondary guns flanking them, clearly in a combat-ready posture.
"Don't be so tense. I mean no harm."
"I'm your neighbor."
Lu Chen introduced himself concisely.
"Neighbor?"
"I don't recall any humans existing in the port area or nearby... Are you from the Siren side?"
Richelieu seemed a bit confused.
"No, I'm from the next universe. Our worlds are next to each other."
"Huh?!!!"
…
…
Explaining the situation to the brainfried shipgirl took a while.
Fortunately, since Azur Lane's technological level was quite advanced, she quickly understood Lu Chen's meaning.
The so-called neighbor was actually across a vast universe, hundreds of billions of light-years away.
They were communicating across dimensions.
"So, there are other people outside of our world? Hmm, I've never thought about it like that before...
No, we haven't even flown off our planet...
Richelieu tugged at her blonde hair, lost in thought.
"You mean, there are other worlds around us?"
"Of course, I've found five so far, and yours is one of the more technologically advanced worlds."
Lu Chen wasn't sure if the shipgirl could understand concepts like elves, Honkai Herrschers, and ghosts from other universes, so he didn't go into too much detail.
"Oh..."
Richelieu uttered in admiration.
She had been a bit skeptical about Lu Chen's words, but upon reflection, she realized that since the other party had the ability to communicate with her across dimensions, why would they bother to tease her?
After pondering for a moment, Richelieu remembered her business:
"So..."
"Mr. Lu, may I ask why you contacted the Port Area?"
She subconsciously felt that Lu Chen must be from an unimaginably advanced civilization, having the ability to initiate cross-dimensional communication, so she was very respectful.
“…”
"I want to learn more about the Port Area."
Lu Chen said seriously.
"By the way, are you interested in signing an immigration agreement? It would be even better if we could add a non-aggression treaty and a mutual defense treaty."
