In fact, for most of the current empires.
Pirate power is really not a problem.
At first, everyone was just developing, and neither the technology nor the number of ships were very good.
Facing the invasion of the pirate fleet is indeed a bit of a headache.
But it's different now.
If the pirate fleet really dares to form a group and appear, the imperial fleet will be the first to dispatch, and then deal with it with thunderous force.
So far, the pirate groups have basically appeared in scattered pieces and have not dared to show off too much.
Many pirate groups even secretly work for certain empires as one of the means to fight against other empires.
Of course, on the surface, the empire still has to implement the policy of combating interstellar pirate groups.
Regardless of whether they are citizens or trading partners, they must give an explanation no matter what.
But for the government to rectify it, it is time-consuming and laborious, and the benefits are not high.
Most rulers are too lazy to take care of this matter. After all, even a super big case only costs a dozen units of energy coins.
As long as there are no stability or population issues involved, why bother catching a few small pirates and sending people to explore the ruins?
As a result, various power empires quickly introduced relevant policies.
The bounty system and bounty hunters came into being.
"Let ordinary people solve ordinary people's affairs."
After issuing the decree, the rulers basically ignored the matter.
Because of this decree, private security companies expanded and were sometimes even able to contract official transportation projects, and commercial trade boomed again.
As for bounty hunters, they can occasionally solve some incidents and attract some attention.
After all, the spirit of adventure will still ignite no matter what era.
Tian Aolong, or Tian Long, is now a bounty hunter.
After Tian Aolong solved the crisis in the Xintan Empire, he went to Lanxi with the intention of answering his doubts.
Since the Xintan Empire had just ended the war, the entire empire was crumbling. If the astronauts who were exposed to their great power were no longer in the Xintan Empire at this time, there was no telling what would happen.
Furthermore, I don’t know what other empires’ attitudes are toward me, so it would be unreasonable to show up rashly.
So Tian Aolong decided to hide his identity and go to Daxia under the pseudonym Tian Long.
But when he really entered Daxia, he didn't know what to do.
How could he come into contact with the highest-level figures in the empire, even though he had not even obtained a temporary residence certificate?
According to various sources, the rulers of the Great Xia Empire stayed in reclusive circles and basically did not show up except for large-scale events.
And for some reason, the management has been extremely strict recently, and other citizens of the empire are prohibited from entering the main star.
So after Tian Aolong visited Daxia in confusion, he returned to Lanxi, intending to see the situation before talking about it.
Perhaps Huangtian paid off and an opportunity appeared in front of him.
The Xingxia Awards are actually about to begin, and the ruler of the Great Xia Empire will be present.
When this cultural event starts, maybe we can meet up close.
Ever since, Tian Aolong stayed in Lanxi.
And as a temporary citizen of Lanxi, he registered as a bounty hunter and made his official debut.
Although you can directly ask Xin Yun for sponsorship, considering that Xin Tan Empire needs a lot of resources, I am not a person who is extravagant and lustful, so I might as well earn and spend it myself.
He believes that with his own strength, it should not be a big problem to obtain Lanxi's official citizenship certification.
This is indeed the case. In just over a month, he has earned hundreds of thousands of credits through bounty tasks, which can be considered a well-off level.
And when performing tasks, he basically never used his abilities.
Unless he encounters something that cannot be solved, most of the time, like everyone else, he drives a personally modified ship to chase pirates or handle special tasks.
However, as a person who cultivates immortality and can physically travel across space, the modification of the ship is naturally as crude as possible, which is why he was able to make a fortune quickly.
The fourth floor of Lanxi, inside the bounty base.
This is a newly built special structure built around the core body of the Interstellar Palace with an area of up to 40,000 square meters.
Above is the constant flow of reward information, with emergency news interruptions from time to time.
Basically, any colonial system with commercial routes will have a bounty base like this.
The operation of the entire facility is jointly funded and managed by the major power empires to ensure the authenticity of the mission.
However, only if the mission is completed within the mission scope of the current area, the bounty will be included.
You can't solve the pirates in the sixth sector and then go to the fifth sector to collect the bounty. They are not obligated to invest in solving the problem.
Taking Lanxi as the bounty base, the number of star systems covered is 1,250.
[Thank you for your contribution to interstellar peace again, 220,000 credits have been transferred to your personal account! 】
With a ding, the message popped up, making Tian Long smile.
The wonderful moment of completing a task and receiving a reward always makes people feel happy, which reminded him of his past experience as a teacher.
And this is still a big task. Even if he earns so many credits at once, he still feels a sense of accomplishment.
"As expected of a B-level emergency mission, you can earn so many credits after completing it."
Looking at the number of credit points on his personal device, Tian Long nodded with satisfaction: "If you earn tens of thousands more, you can buy tickets for this Xingxia Award. As a major event, how can you do it without participating?"
If you participate in the Xingxia Award, you will have a greater chance of meeting that person.
"But I have to say that there are really many rich people in Lanxi..."
Even though I already have more than 400,000 yuan, I can't even afford a ticket.
Tian Long thought with some shame.
Turning off his personal device, he walked around the bounty base and looked around.
Although certified bounty hunters can view current tasks through their personal devices, most of those tasks are simple and Tian Long is not very interested.
Only in the bounty base will there be emergency missions and power commissions.
Just like the emergency B-level mission he just completed, which was to snatch something from pirates, he could earn six figures of credits in one fell swoop.
Otherwise, for those ordinary tasks that can get you five or six thousand for completing them, you don’t know how long it will take to be certified as a citizen.
"Certified citizenship requires an investment certification of two million credit points, or owning a real estate. This is still subject to immigration policy exemptions, otherwise it will be more difficult..."
While checking the commission from the forces above, Tian Long also thought about Lanxi's immigration policy.
It's a bit harsh, but it's also the result of a balance between all parties.
"Mr. TL, are you ready to go on a mission again?"
A crisp voice sounded near Tian Long, causing him to turn his head and look.
It turned out that he was a bounty hunter who had gone on a mission together.
TL is his communication code, and the title is just a personal habit.
"Miss Fei, long time no see."
Fei is a vibrant and adventurous girl with dark blue, medium-length and short hair, and clothes that don't hesitate to show off her figure.
"What big project are you working on again? I heard that you even solved the B-level mission?"
"Haha, it's just luck..."
The two greeted each other and chatted for a while.
When Tian Long was preparing to make money from bounty missions, the guide he met was Fei, who also told him a lot about the bounty base.
Afterwards, the two of them cooperated on several small tasks without any danger, and they were considered to be in contact.
Occasionally we meet, and when we happen to be free, everyone will do tasks together.
Sometimes, Tian Long also admires Fei. After all, bounty missions are never a safe business.
() The pirate fleet may have the idea of capturing citizens for ransom, but in a fight in space, life or death is uncertain.
From his point of view, it is more suitable and more profitable for Fei to join the entertainment industry, but everyone has their own ambitions, so he will not criticize her.
While chatting, Tian Long also learned about Fei's new mission.
A search-type C-level mission. Unknown wreckage was detected on a commercial ship while sailing, and people were needed to determine the situation.
This type of mission basically has no risk of combat, and the reward is not very high, only 4,000 points. It can be said that it is just an errand mission, but the galaxy it goes to is relatively remote.
"Is this the Doragi Galaxy? I happen to be going there, why don't we come along?" Tian Long suggested.
It's not that he had any ideas, he just happened to see signs that there was a pirate group in the Doragi Galaxy, so it would be a good idea to go and have a look.
"Really? That's great. With you joining us, we'll be more lively."
Fei was a little surprised. She had heard a lot about TL's strength, and they didn't think much of this mission reward.
This is equivalent to having a bodyguard for nothing and making a pure profit.
Soon, the team for this mission was determined.
Tian Long found a place to rest at the bounty base and read the recent news.
Fei went to call the remaining team members.
It is actually the norm for bounty hunters to form a team and go on missions. Not everyone is as defiant as Tian Long.
Soon after, Fei brought three people over and introduced them to Tian Long one by one.
Two of them were average, nothing noteworthy.
But Tian Long couldn't calm down about the remaining one.
Fei introduced with a smile: "This handsome guy's name is Ahua. He seems to have just become a bounty hunter, so he invited him to join the team."
Born with a unique temperament and wearing a typical bounty hunter costume, the man known as Ahua extended his hand.
"Please take care of me."
Tian Long's body was a little tense, and he looked at the person in front of him in a daze.
Then, belatedly, they reached out to hold each other.
Such a gentle smile, such a familiar feeling.
So similar! ?
