On the duel stage, blue light lit up.
"Blue won?!"
The onlookers were stunned.
According to common sense, the blue side should lose at this moment, and then the guy named Zhao Yu became angry and cursed Li Weibo as a liar? !
"How can this be?!"
Many people were shocked as they did not expect this result.
I lost?
Until Li Weibo appeared on the duel stage, he had not yet gotten over the fact that he had lost the game.
The whole person seemed to be sluggish.
After others saw it, they were suddenly confused.
"Could it be that Li Weibo didn't act with Wang Futu and he really got into it?!"
"The truth is here. It seems that this person named Zhao Yu really missed it..."
People looked at Zhao Yu who was standing aside, their eyes filled with envy.
At the same time, several people were beating their chests and wanting to slap themselves twice, feeling that they had missed out on three million because of being smart.
"Li Weibo, you lost again, why don't you play with three million?!" Someone was unwilling to give up and asked in Li Weibo's ear.
Li Weibo suddenly came back to his senses and felt that others were mocking him, as if they were laughing at him. With such strength, he still dared to fish? !
Li Weibo was immediately ashamed and angry. His face felt hot, and he quickly left the scene without saying a word.
Seeing his reaction, everyone believed in their own judgment even more, that is, Li Weibo did not act with Wang Futu, but really got into it, and he was caught!
"Brother, you are so lucky. You just made three million..."
When someone saw Li Weibo running away, they turned their attention to Zhao Yu and said excitedly: "How about we also play a game?!"
Zhao Yu glanced at him and said, "A handful of ten million, are you coming?!"
The man's breath was stagnant, and he said sarcastically: "One thousand is enough, ten million, I can't afford it, I can't afford it..."
After getting rid of these flies, Zhao Yu also left the duel stage.
That day, news of their gambling fight came to light on Earl's Island.
People are saying that there is a lucky man named Zhao Yu who accidentally picked up three million.
After leaving the duel stage, Zhao Yu started ranking directly. He had 2.7 million dark matter in his hand. Looking at the 100 tickets this time, he felt that it didn't matter.
Zhao Yu tried to play a few games and found that the opponent he matched was not as strong as Li Weibo, so he won easily.
In the ranking system, you can’t see the rankings yet, but you can see your own ranking.
Zhao Yu played six sets and had six points, ranking around 50,000.
It seems that there are still a lot of people playing ranked these days.
Just when he was about to continue fighting, the empire suddenly sent someone to find him.
When I got to the place, I realized that he was not alone, there were more than ten people in the hall.
Finding Zhao Yu coming in, several people started talking in low voices after seeing his name clearly.
"This is the Zhao Yu, the one who was lucky enough to win three million dark matter..."
"Tsk, tsk, this is such a good fate..."
After Zhao Yu heard this, he didn't intend to refute. He wished that someone really wanted to have another gambling game with him.
Not long after entering the house, someone from the empire walked in and announced directly: "In recent days, many people have reported that they have been attacked by safari civilization and asked for help from the empire..."
"The empire's energy is all about saving the universe, and it really doesn't have time to deal with these small things..."
"So, after research, the empire decided to carry out coordinated defense based on the region..."
"The specific method is for the kingdom to send troops to help the duchy to garrison to a certain extent, the duchy will help the princes to garrison, and the princes will help the lords to garrison..."
"All of you here are the Lords of the third spiral arm of the Milky Way..."
"So, according to the division, the Tomah Kingdom, which is also in the same star field, will be garrisoned..."
garrison? !
Everyone looked at each other, a little confused, not knowing whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for them.
After hearing this, Zhao Yu frowned and said, "Those who can hunt in the universe have a technology level higher than Level 2. Is the Hou State capable of defense?!"
"Don't worry, you guys. If the princes can't do things, there are principalities above them. If the principalities are not good enough, there are kingdoms. If the kingdoms are not good enough, the empire will also take action..."
After listening to a circle of explanations, Zhao Yu finally understood what the empire meant.
They did not want to bear the cost of maintaining order in the empire, so they delegated this power to various kingdoms and principalities.
For example, in the star field where he is located, there are about a dozen zero-level civilization territories, all of which are under the control of the Tuoma Kingdom.
And a larger range of princely states, including Tuoma, were under the control of a certain principality.
The only thing that surprised Zhao Yu was that the kingdom responsible for managing a large number of principalities, princes, and territories in their area was the Mo Dou Kingdom, which had been involved in a war before.
"Well, Sir Envoy, if the Toma Kingdom causes chaos, we don't seem to have the power to resist..."
"Don't worry about this. The Empire is here and we won't let them mess around. The Empire's laws are not for show. Although many bills are still under discussion, this kind of thing will definitely not happen..."
Everyone present was a little melancholy. When the empire was in charge before, the only thing they valued was dark matter. They neither asked them for other things nor interfered with internal governance.
But now, if there is another Hou Guo in charge, there may be problems.
…
Prince's Island.
Du Bing held a star map, his face full of excitement. On it, the geographical locations of more than a thousand civilizations were marked.
These were the principalities, princes and territories that the empire had entrusted to him to help manage and garrison.
"Thank you for the empire's trust. Du Bing will definitely fulfill his mission and manage this star field on behalf of the empire..."
Unlike the Earl's Island where it was just a staff handover, on the prince's side, every imperial official with sufficient weight communicated personally to ensure that the entire mechanism could run smoothly.
"Well, we see your loyalty, but you can't just say it, you have to actually do it..."
"You have to remember the two most important points. One is to ensure that all countries and territories turn over no less dark matter every year..."
"The second is to ensure that the population of each country and territory cannot be reduced, and to encourage population development as much as possible..."
The envoy thought for a moment and then added: "In addition, the empire will give you some appropriate rewards based on the management of your more than one hundred kingdoms within a year..."
Du Bing's eyes lit up, something that could be rewarded by the empire was definitely something they didn't have, and they had to win it.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "I wonder what this assessment is based on?!"
"The first is dark matter. How much additional dark matter can your kingdom, including all the principalities, princes, and territories under its administration, contribute if the full amount is turned over..."
"The second is population. What is the growth rate of all the population under your kingdom compared with the previous year..."
"Of course, the criteria for judging these data are naturally based on comparisons between kingdoms. Whoever does well will be rewarded by the empire..."
Du Bing nodded quickly and made up his mind. After returning, he would ask the people in the think tank to think about how to allow the more than a thousand civilizations below to vigorously develop their population and produce additional dark matter.
After the imperial envoy left, Du Bing began to look at the star map, planning to write down the locations of these civilizations and send people there after he returned.
Soon, he browsed the situation of the principalities and princes. When he saw a certain territory, he was suddenly stunned.
"Solar System Territory?"
Du Bing frowned, remembering what Dugo said about the solar system, "Are these two places the same place?!"
He checked the star map carefully, and after careful recall, he found that the solar system recorded on the star map was exactly the place where his son Dugo led the whale army.
"How is this possible? The solar system civilization is a third-level civilization?!!"
Du Bing was shocked. He didn't expect that the empire actually counted the civilization of the solar system as a zero-level civilization? !
"What do you mean, the empire didn't discover them?"
"No, the empire is divided into levels based on population. Under normal circumstances, only with a large enough population can high enough civilization and technology be born..."
"The solar system civilization has a population of only 8.5 billion. It is obviously impossible for a third-level civilization to be born, and even a first-level civilization is impossible..."
After Du Bing thought for a moment, he came to two conclusions.
"In one case, there is a safari fleet of a third-level civilization hidden around the solar system civilization, but the number is not large. This is also the reason why it was able to deal with the big whale before..."
"The second scenario is that the solar system civilization is occupied by an alien third-level safari civilization, which leads to a small population..."
No matter what the situation is, the essence of the opponent being a third-level civilization has not changed. Even if the technology tree is incomplete, there should still be many complete weapons.
Du Bing thought for a while and then quickly stopped laughing, "It's just a wandering third-level civilization. Under the rule of the empire, it can't change the world..."
Managing the solar system is a power granted by the empire. If the third-level civilization is dissatisfied, it can naturally go to the empire to complain.
…
solar system.
After traveling for more than twenty days, the humans from Bell's Comet finally returned to Blue Star successfully.
During this period, Zhao Yu also basically learned about the situation of the Galaxy Empire.
The Blue Star people also recognized Zhao Yu's becoming the lord of the solar system.
The only thing that makes Zhao Yu feel a little pain is that some people are clamoring that the country cannot live without a future, clamoring for Zhao Yu, the lord, to choose a concubine and have children as soon as possible to ensure the stability of the territory.
At first, he thought it was the idea of some conspirators. Later, after investigation, he discovered that it was a spontaneous movement formed by a group of ambitious women.
This left Zhao Yu speechless, and he could only explain it away casually by saying that he was still young.
At first, people were a little nervous about Zhao Yu becoming a lord, not knowing whether this was good or bad.
But when they returned to Blue Star and saw that everyone had an officially allocated house, they suddenly burst into applause.
At the same time, envoys representing the Kingdom of Mo Dou, the Principality of Fire, and the Kingdom of Toma also arrived in the solar system.
Also arriving were decrees from the Galactic Empire.
It requires all civilizations under the rule to abolish all methods of abortion and all contraceptive methods. It requires that every pregnancy must be given birth. All expenses for all people under the age of 18, from birth to adulthood, must be borne by the lord.
In addition, they are also required to abolish all capital punishment and instead use criminals as raw materials for waste utilization.
Zhao Yu naturally had no objections to these insignificant laws.
But after the imperial decree was read out, the kingdom read out the decree from them.
Many of the contents overlap with those of the Empire, but the only difference is that the garrison costs are increased and the territory is required to hand over an additional 100 million grams of dark matter every year.
After the Kingdom, the Principality also issued corresponding documents, also requiring the solar system territories to hand over 10 million dark matter and one billion tons of certain precious mineral resources every year.
Even the envoy from the Hou Kingdom, who was far less powerful than Zhao Yu, asked Zhao Yu to hand over an additional one million dark matter and 100 million tons of various mineral resources.
"My territory does not need you to garrison..." After hearing this, Zhao Yu directly refused.
"The garrison is what the empire means. If you have any objections, just tell the empire. We are just conveying instructions..."
The envoys from several parties, however, ignored what Zhao Yu said. After reading out the decree, they patted their butts and left directly.
The Mo Dou Kingdom is naturally aware of Zhao Yu's strength, but they still come. The main reason is that the empire strictly prohibits war between countries, so they firmly believe that the civilization of the solar system will obey the order.
As for the Fire Principality and the Toma Kingdom, they had no idea of Zhao Yu's strength and just thought it was just an ordinary zero-level civilization.
Zhao Yu stayed alone in the newly built Yingbin Building, his face a little gloomy.
But he is a little powerless. The strength of the empire is here, and these people are pretending to be powerful, but he has no way to do it.
Unless he can break the order of imperial rule, he will have to operate under this system.
Previously, the appearance of the Galaxy Empire made Zhao Yu feel a little lucky, thinking that they were lucky to have appeared, otherwise he would have fought to the death with the Mo Dou Civilization.
But now, Zhao Yu has some regrets. He feels that under the laws of the dark forest where no one cares, although there is no reconciliation with other civilizations and they will fight to the death when they meet, at least they have autonomy.
But now, under the rule of the empire, they have to do many helpless things.
"The ranking has now reached third place, and I am about to win the first reward this month..."
"But now, in addition to the 100 million grams of dark matter handed over to the empire, there are 111 million more dark matter..."
In this way, even if he takes first place every month, it is still not enough.
Unless, like other countries, they use their own people as material and transform them into dark matter.
But how could Zhao Yu do such a thing? !
Just when he was feeling uncomfortable, Colonel Chu suddenly walked in, "Lord, the envoy from the Fire Principality is back again..."
"Let him in!!"
Zhao Yu guessed that it must be related to the fleet sent by the Fire Civilization.
Sure enough, after the envoy came in, he went straight to the point and asked them if they had seen the fleet sent by the Fire Civilization before.
Hearing this, Zhao Yu sneered and said sarcastically: "We are just a territory, and Huolie is a principality. How can we know if we send a fleet here?!"
These words made the envoy's face darken. He felt that the Sun Leader was so ignorant that he dared to treat him like this.
"Hmph, I know you are just a territory, but you still dare to speak to me like this. If the empire hadn't been there, based on what you just said, your Sun Territory would have been destroyed countless times!"
