No matter how much he said, it was useless. After the messengers left, Zhao Yu suddenly collapsed on the sofa, feeling powerless.
The Galactic Empire was so powerful that he had no chance to develop.
"Whether it is the King of War or the mysterious businessman, it is necessary to contact other civilizations in order to obtain technology points to improve their strength..."
"Even the reputation system is related to other civilizations..."
"But now, the empire's two prohibitions have been directly restricted..."
The empire firstly did not allow civilizations to trade directly, and secondly, it did not allow wars between civilizations, which directly blocked Zhao Yu's way of breakthrough.
Nowadays, in addition to the taxes to be paid to the empire, there are three levels of taxes to be paid to kingdoms, principalities and principalities.
If these taxes were just mineral resources or other things, it would be fine, but what they collect is dark matter that can only be produced from living people.
This means that he needs to send 220 million people into the refining pool. This is only a year's tax. Things like this can only continue until the order of the empire is broken.
Even if he ranked first every time on Earl's Island in the quantum world, he still couldn't close this gap.
"Sir, why don't we go..."
Seeing Zhao Yu in so much pain, Uncle Da couldn't help but say.
"Let's go, where can we go?"
"The galaxy belongs to the Empire, where can we go?!"
Zhao Yu said, but was suddenly stunned.
He recalled what an Imperial staff member said when he was in the Quantum World.
It seems to mention the invasion of other countries by safari civilization.
This led to the following matters about assisting in defense and garrisoning.
"Wait, looking at it this way, it seems that the empire has no way of catching the fleets of those hunting civilizations?!"
Zhao Yu's brain started spinning instantly, and soon he thought that the transformation of dark matter requires intelligent life as the material.
I also thought that when I first entered the quantum world, people from the empire said that intelligent life comes from dark matter.
"Could it be that the empire locked onto us through changes in dark matter?!"
Although there is no way to be sure, Zhao Yu feels that it is very likely when these pieces of information are integrated.
The Empire probably found them based on the changes in dark matter in the galaxy.
"What if the dark matter in galaxies where intelligent life has been born is not 100% or a certain amount, but in galaxies where intelligent life has not been born, there may be no change?"
"If this is the case, it can explain why the empire can find 100,000 civilizations in the galaxy, but cannot capture the safari fleet..."
Zhao Yu felt that his judgment was probably correct, "In this way, the empire seems not as strong as imagined!"
After careful calculation, Zhao Yu's eyes gradually brightened, "If it is true, I can completely escape from here..."
"No, not yet..."
Zhao Yu quickly shook his head, "The top priority is to confirm whether my guess is correct. If there is really no problem, then we must first establish a sub-base in other places that are not monitored by the empire..."
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Zhao Yu still didn't want to leave the solar system and leave the Blue Star people behind.
After all, the universe is so big, why call home? !
After thinking for a while, Zhao Yu gradually came up with an idea.
"Uncle Da, what do you think, we send the mothership with the sub-base out to the outer reaches of the galaxy to establish a sub-base?!"
He is now at the second level. In addition to the lunar base vehicle, he has also set up a mothership as a sub-base, the kind that can expand the production line infinitely.
"I think it's okay, but how can we ensure that the empire won't find us?!"
Zhao Yu nodded and said: "My current idea is that while sending the mothership out, we will also bring a fleet to find a few places to blow up..."
"If the empire has not tracked this fleet, it means that my guess is correct, then it will be no problem to establish a sub-base..."
Thinking of sitting down, Zhao Yu hurriedly found Colonel Chu and told him the current dilemma he was facing and his thoughts.
"If this is the case, the fleet sent out must have living people to use the quantum world message to pass the message back..." Colonel Chu did not resist. For the current plan, the only way to have hope is to go out.
Otherwise, he would have no choice but to obey the empire and send more than 200 million people to die every year. This kind of thing was too cruel. He was glad that Zhao Yu's conscience had not been extinguished.
"Yes, but who is more appropriate to send?"
Zhao Yu was hesitant. The most trustworthy ones were naturally the contracted robots, who were absolutely loyal. However, since robots cannot enter the quantum world, they cannot achieve ultra-long-distance real-time communication.
"Let me go!"
Colonel Chu didn't hesitate at all, and said directly: "If it goes through, someone will have to be in charge of establishing a sub-base, so it would be more appropriate for me to do it..."
It was a matter of survival for all mankind, so Zhao Yu agreed directly without any pretense.
In order to keep it secret, the only living person traveling with the mothership this time was Colonel Chu.
However, to be on the safe side, Zhao Yu still used a quota to contract with Colonel Chu, thus ensuring his absolute loyalty.
After the discussion was completed, Colonel Chu, the accompanying operating host Li Zongheng, and several robots drove more than a hundred battleships through the wormhole and left the solar system.
This plan is divided into two steps. The first step is to test to determine whether the empire's investigation methods are that powerful.
They need to pretend to be a safari fleet and attack other civilizations to see the subsequent reactions.
If the empire fails to find them, it proves that Zhao Yu's conjecture is correct. The empire uses dark matter to find intelligent life. Even if it is stronger than them, it will not be able to search for a fleet swimming in the vast universe.
Once here, you can proceed to the second step, go to the edge of the fourth spiral arm of the Milky Way, establish a new secret base, and start a large-scale troop explosion.
As for what to do after the explosion, Zhao Yu also has some ideas.
Whether he is a mysterious businessman or a king of war, he must contact other civilizations.
Therefore, after the explosion, Zhao Yu planned to send those fleets out to destroy some civilized military units in order to obtain technology points.
As for who to perform the surgery on, Zhao Yu also has a candidate.
The second step of the plan is naturally to target Mo Dou Civilization as the main target of harassment.
As for the first step of the plan, Zhao Yu planned to attack the Fire Civilization and asked Colonel Chu to destroy at least 60,000 military units of the opponent.
Because now he only has more than 50,000 experience points left to upgrade the base to level 3.
From the solar system to the galaxy where the fire civilization is located, at the speed of their spacecraft, it will take close to a month.
Zhao Yu could only wait, keep going in and out of the quantum world, participating in matching, and trying to get first place before the end.
At this time, after more than twenty days of fighting, Zhao Yu's ranking level has reached as high as seven stars and two points, ranking third.
Because he couldn't see the ranking list, Zhao Yu didn't know how many stars and points the second place and the first place had.
On this day, Zhao Yu entered the quantum world again and began to match his opponents.
Who knew, after waiting for a full hour, I still couldn't find an opponent.
"Aren't there many people in Qixing?"
Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment and could only lower the matching requirements and add six stars to the candidate column.
Who knows, another half hour has passed, and even the six-star opponent has not been matched.
This time, he realized something was wrong.
He has also been in Six Star for a while. Although there are few people, it is not completely absent. This is the first time he has not been matched with one person for half an hour.
Zhao Yu simply canceled the match and walked into the square to see if he could get some news.
After going around for a while, I got some useful information.
"Many of the five-star, six-star and seven-star people have been bribed and now they no longer participate in the war..."
"What's the meaning?!"
"It's just that the top ten want to consolidate their rankings. If no one competes, naturally no one can rise up!"
"Wait a minute, aren't we allowed to trade with each other? How can they bribe people?!"
"Stupid, isn't there a duel stage? You can pretend to bet and give dark matter to the other party in a deliberate way of losing!!!"
"I see!"
Zhao Yu frowned, he didn't expect someone to do such a thing.
Currently, as far as he knows, there are six people in the top ten.
Of course, this is not seen in official data, but what these people themselves broke the news.
I don’t know if it’s true or not, but no one has refuted it, so the possibility is not small.
Among them, the second-ranked guy is obviously a tyrant. In just over 20 days, he has consumed 60 million dark matter. He has no regard for the life and death of his people and only cares about his own happiness.
It is said that the man has received five life potion type A, which has increased his life by five months.
After turning around, Zhao Yu returned to the matching center.
After thinking for a moment, the options for matching opponents were relaxed again, directly to the minimum matching level of four stars.
This time, as expected, the opponent was matched within a short time.
When his opponent saw that he was facing a seven-star player, he showed a confused expression.
[Tip: If a four-star player wins, he or she will receive three points; if a four-star player fails, one point will be deducted. 】
Of course, Zhao Yu has known about this for a long time that there is a negative return in star-down matching.
But these are based on the premise that he may not win. Zhao Yu is very confident in his own strength, so even if he is demoted, he will not lose.
Others don't know, but as far as Zhao Yu is concerned, he has played six to seven hundred games without losing a single set, and his record is a complete victory.
Ten minutes later, the battle ended, and Zhao Yu won the round with great success.
Immediately afterwards, rumors spread in the square that seven-star players were matching four-star players.
The only thing that makes people feel pity is the ranked matching system. The two players cannot see each other's names.
In just one day, Zhao Yu successfully won fifty games.
The points also reached seven stars and 52 points, and the ranking rose from third to second.
At the same time, he also knew the score of the second place, which was about 35 points from Seven Stars.
But the first place has not been caught up yet!
Zhao Yu guessed that the opponent should have started to charge when he didn't play ranked in the first week, which resulted in a huge points gain.
Zhao Yu didn't think it was a big deal when he broke through to second place. In the remaining few days, he still kept playing in the rankings.
But on Earl's Island, the tyrant who was originally ranked second was furious and shouted to make the person who took his ranking look good.
He even put down his harsh words and decided to challenge that person to a one-on-one challenge with a bet of 10 million.
The 10 million bet was attractive enough, so Zhao Yu ran over and was regarded as a liar.
Because these days, there are so many people pretending to be second and gambling with the tyrant.
Zhao Yu's balls also hurt a lot. Only he knew that he was in second place, and others didn't know and couldn't see it. This feeling was so uncomfortable.
As the first phase of ranking is coming to an end, Zhao Yu is in trouble again, and four-star players cannot be matched.
The star rating has reached eight stars, but his ranking is still only second.
In view of this situation, Zhao Yu simply extended the matching range to one star.
This means that anyone who participates in ranking can be matched with him.
If he is matched with a one-star player, then if the opponent beats him, he can win 8 points, but if he beats the opponent, he can only win 1 point.
After the news of Zhao Yu's battle with a one-star came out, Earl's Island was in a state of excitement.
"You're so damn confident!"
"Isn't he afraid of losing?"
"This kind of return rate is too low. If you win eight games and lose one, it's like playing in vain!"
"too exaggerated……"
Although people were shocked, they were very honest. Whether they were one-star, two-star, three-star or four-star, they started to participate in the matching.
Everyone wants to meet that eight-star guy. Firstly, they want to know what kind of strength the opponent is, and secondly, they are thinking, what if they win?
As a result, after a few days, no one on Earl Island could beat the eight-star player, and even let the other player reach the nine-star level.
In the last ten minutes before the ranking settlement, Zhao Yu looked at his ranking points.
[Nine stars 85 points]
The ranking points are already very high, and now he is number one. The previous number one was surpassed as early as eight stars with 59 points.
But Zhao Yu was worried that the opponent would rush for points as crazy as him at the last moment, so he didn't dare to stop for fear of being robbed.
At this moment, Earl's Island was more lively than ever.
These days, people always have different time limits, and the maximum number of people at the same time is only 10,000.
But now, as the first phase of qualifying is coming to an end, Earl's Island has rarely seen the grand scene of the first day, with huge crowds of people, almost 100,000 people arriving.
Ten minutes flew by.
Under the circumstances of everyone's attention, the first phase of Earl's Island ranking ended, and the rankings were officially announced.
[Ranking No. 1: Zhao Yu, star rating: nine stars, points: 85 points]
[Ranked second: Hu Wang, star rating: eight stars, points: 78 points]
[Third ranking: Kled, star rating: eight stars, points: 8 points]
【……】
As the rankings were announced, people turned their heads and searched everywhere.
"Who is Zhao Yu? Who is Zhao Yu?!"
"it's here!!!"
Soon, Zhao Yu was discovered, which immediately attracted a crowd of people to watch.
"Damn it, this guy looks ordinary, but he's so strong..."
"What does his strength have to do with his appearance? Ranking is based on military units!!"
At this moment, the crowd parted, and Klie walked towards Zhao Yu with an angry face.
