Instead, it much more resembled a Lizardman.
“Huh? Is this a Naga? I thought they’d look like Medusa.”
See? Even Mary thought the same. I really wonder who first named these creatures Naga. They existed before snakes even appeared, didn’t they?
“I’m leaving this to you and Lorena. No problem, right?”
“Yes, no problem! Leave it to me!”
As long as the opponent isn’t human, Mary seems to have no hesitation. Seeing this, Duanmu Huai gave a satisfied nod and then stepped back a few paces.
Honestly, most players prefer recruiting NPCs from relatively primitive worlds for several reasons.
First, those people lack worldly experience and are relatively easy to deceive.
Second, their civilization is relatively underdeveloped, so when they see a player’s space station and fleet, they are always amazed, which can immensely satisfy the player’s vanity.
The third reason, and the most important one — they are usually not sympathetic towards non-human races.
People from these eras have generally only seen humans, so when they see other races — especially those dangerous, fierce, and not-so-cute guys — they consider them monsters instead of civilizations equal to humans.
This is why Duanmu Huai, Leia, and Ann have relatively good relationships with their individual nations but merely maintain a working partnership with the Star Union.
Because the Star Union itself is an interstellar civilization, once they recognize the existence of alien civilizations, they regard those aliens as equal entities. Naturally, this is intolerable to the human supremacist Tribunal. Duanmu Huai also had Zhen machine broadcast live on the Star Union’s Network to brainwash their citizens and keep their aesthetic appreciation firmly confined to a human level.
Put simply, even if those viewers become EXes – who liked cute girls with furry ears and tails – it’s still better than falling for blue-skinned Ashali squids.
Although the Star Union has a strong faction favoring aliens, as a player or a Judge, any faction under their control must regard other alien civilizations either as monster races or inferior beings — in other words, they must never consider those creatures to be on the same level as human civilization.
So from this perspective, Mary is already highly competent. Although she still hesitates and wavers when dealing with humans, she can now act against humanoid creatures without any hesitation — that’s excellent.
Of course, humans who have stepped into the interstellar age might deem such notion as “racism” or “species discrimination,” but Duanmu Huai doesn’t care. Humans are the most important, and anything else is unimportant. He would fling Extinction Orders at the heads of alien hybrids without a trace of hesitation. Any race other than humans is untrustworthy, the less human-like, the less trustworthy.
After all, if the physiological structure isn’t human-like, it means that there’s no common ground at all. Hence, Duanmu Huai always found that doctor ridiculous — she actually wanted to befriend the Namekian, which was such a foolish and idiotic move. It was just as ridiculous as humans trying to marry sharks.
No matter how good the relationship, aliens are aliens, which applies not only to human and alien relationships but also to human and other terrestrial beings.
Like people and dogs, someone may like dogs, considering them clever, obedient, cute, and even human-like. However, you can never be sure when that dog might bite you or someone else.
In Duanmu Huai’s view, dealing with aliens should be like this. If you become too close and forget about the differences between humans and dogs, and insist on giving dogs human status, that’s a whole different story.
