Like the other people who came to receive education from Casto, the Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness, Baba Liu was actually a talent carefully selected from the Babar clan. However, unlike other civilizations, the Babar clan selected Baba Liu to see There's more in it, like a smart brain, and - an almost completely clean background.
As Castor expected from the beginning, the benefits of the empire's reforms basically spread to every civilization in the empire. Because Castor's reforms did not overthrow the original order, but created new ones outside the original system of the empire. A brand new 'cake', so from high-level civilizations at the level of the Four Dark Kings to various unnamed low-level civilizations, basically all civilizations can get a little bit of cream from this newly created cake.
However, it is not always like this. Things cannot always be perfect. For example, the Yabo people who originally wanted to defeat the Ultra clan on Earth and seize the last seat of the Four Dark Kings, or Black who has no advantage in technology and cannot develop business. Star (the home of the disk creatures), and another example is the Babar clan and their affiliated civilization, the Magma clan, who are wandering on the edge of the original system of the Ampera Empire.
Unlike other civilizations in the empire, the current Babar clan is no longer an imperial civilization in the traditional sense. In other words, after a long period of civilization development, their civilization has found a unique way of survival.
The Babar clan does not have a home planet where they can settle down for a long time. All residents live on different spaceships. A large number of clan members are assigned to different formations and implement a strict group movement lifestyle for many years.
To use the mocking words of the Mefilas clan, the Babar clan is now more like a strange space nomad than an imperial civilization.
The period when the Babar clan completely transformed into a nomadic civilization is somewhat unclear, but what is certain is that during the heyday of the Ampera Empire, the Babar clan, like other civilizations, had a home planet in the empire and continued to follow them. Leading the emperor to fight in all directions.
The empire's records of the Babar family began to become vague, probably starting from the Great Empire War 30,000 years ago (called the Ultra War by the Kingdom of Light).
According to some historical records of the empire, in order to gain wealth and honor in the war, a large number of Babar people once followed the emperor on an expedition. In that war, the Babar family put pressure on the future of the entire family and tried to rely on this way to become the biggest winner after the war.
But something unexpected happened. The builder of the empire, the greatest being in the empire, and the supreme emperor in the universe was defeated. Although the empire itself was not attacked, even the empire's history museum could not tell clearly. In the end, that war was considered a complete defeat, but in the end, the emperor led the empire's army and issued the order to retreat for the first time.
Under the emperor's order, other civilizations in the empire completed the evacuation very efficiently. After abandoning some of the monster legions, the empire's legions returned to the empire immediately to deploy defenses. However, the Babar clan was different. They were fighting for this war. It has squeezed out the potential of civilization for hundreds or even thousands of years in the future. If we go back like this, no matter what the outcome of the future empire is, the Babar family will definitely fall into long-term decline.
At this time, a bold and crazy plan emerged. Just as the empire's army was withdrawing on a large scale and the people of the Kingdom of Light were rapidly rebuilding after the war, the empire's remaining monster legions were threatening everywhere. During the hiatus, the Babar family began to plunder various civilizations in the universe.
The Babar family has done everything that can make the people of the Kingdom of Light gnash their teeth: trapping, trapping, abducting, cheating, burning, killing, kidnapping, and plundering.
When it comes to not doing good deeds, the Babar clan does have a unique talent. They soon discovered that during this period when the Ampera Empire and the Kingdom of Light were both seriously injured and in a downturn, the main force of the Galactic Federation was busy dealing with everything. In the time period of monsters, the weak civilizations in the universe were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, allowing them to harvest as they pleased.
Soon, the Babar clan earned back all the resources originally invested in the war, and they even became the only civilization in the empire that experienced a "population outflow" at that time.
Driven by huge interests, a large number of Babar people and a small number of Magma people who were related to them began to leave the empire and continued to carry out plundering activities in the universe. It was probably from this period that, as a small number, The Magma clan began to become the vanguard on Babar's plundering road, and then began to transform into future vassals.
As a result, Babar and Magma embarked on a completely different path from other civilizations in the empire.
Of course, such a situation is not undiscovered. Although it has just experienced a huge and tragic invasion war, the Kingdom of Light still sent out soldiers who had just left the battlefield at that time to form a joint law enforcement team with the Galaxy Federation to carry out investigations into the universe. Babar and Magma, who were wandering in the middle, carried out encirclement and suppression.
The encirclement and suppression was effective to a certain extent. The plundering pace of the Babar clan and the Magma clan was indeed initially greatly curbed. The civilization of the Galactic Federation regained its calm. In a short period of time, they were indeed no longer heard in the universe. News of looting.
However, because a large number of outstanding warriors were injured in previous battles with the Ampera Empire, and also because of the establishment of the Space Guard, the only able warriors left in the Kingdom of Light were unable to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the encirclement and suppression. And because they also had to deal with the disaster caused by the monster army left by Ampera, and because of Babar and Magma's quick response,
Therefore, the joint law enforcement team established by the Galactic Federation and the Kingdom of Light did not actually damage their foundation in the encirclement and suppression of Babar and Magma.
Although the Kingdom of Light and the Galactic Federation continued to hunt down and eliminate these enemies, news of Babar and Magma plundering and invading a certain planet could still be heard from time to time in the universe.
After the Empire and the Kingdom of Light spent hundreds of years slowly recovering from the previous great war, Babar and Magma had relied on the darkest areas on the edge of the Empire with the harshest environment, and developed a completely different set of civilization.
It was from that period that the name of the Babar clan, "The Rulers of the Dark Universe" began to spread.
In fact, the Babar clan and their vassal Magma clan, who originally lived on the spaceship, do not need to completely transform into the 'nomadic' civilization they are now. After all, the main body of their civilization was still located on the empire's home planet at the beginning.
When the pressure for survival is not great for the predators on the spaceship, they often only need to move for a long or short time according to the scope of the Galactic Federation and the Kingdom of Light's encirclement and suppression, and reoccupy a certain planet for cultivation. Ability to obtain resources necessary for survival.
However, with the first 'peace period' in the history of the empire, the empire experienced its first stagnation or even decline after the founding of Emperor Amperra. Marked by the betrayal of evil generals, the empire originally relied on war to thrive. , due to the inability to find new growth points and development directions, it inevitably began to decline.
At this time, other advanced civilizations in the empire chose to continue to follow the emperor's footsteps. Externally, they began to shrink their power. Internally, they began to control the allocation of resources and arrange planned tasks for lower-level civilizations.
Whether these civilizations made these choices because they believed in Emperor Ampera or because of the inertia of civilization is now unknown, but it is undeniable that they still chose to keep their base in the empire.
However, the Babar clan and the Magma clan chose to completely betray the emperor at this time. They felt that they had found a better way out for civilization.
More and more people are 'smuggling' away from the locations that were originally under their jurisdiction, choosing to merge with the 'New Babars' and 'New Magmas' in the universe. Even they themselves no longer know what they are. When did their two civilizations completely complete this process, but during the period of decline of that empire, no one really had the extra energy to manage this matter.
But as more and more tribesmen join, the Babar tribe and the Magma tribe, which originally grew wildly in the universe, also have some problems.
Due to the warriors of the Galactic Federation and the Kingdom of Light, they are unable to occupy a certain planet for a long time to obtain long-term resources. At the same time, due to the slow but still growing population pressure, the pressure and difficulty of survival of these two civilizations continue to increase.
The speed of resource consumption forced them to once again speed up their plundering. In order to avoid the warriors sent by the Galactic Federation and the Kingdom of Light, they were forced to choose to break the huge civilization into pieces and turn them into smaller groups. Go to some more remote places to find civilizations and planets,
The main source of their resources is obtained by plundering other civilizations. Therefore, they have to move according to the boundaries of the Galactic Federation, the Kingdom of Light, and the Ampera Empire's spheres of influence in order to escape outside their jurisdiction as soon as possible. .
In the process, the Babar family gradually developed new businesses. They realized that being mercenaries was more secure for the survival of civilization at this stage than simply plundering. As a result, the Babar family and Their mercenary business affiliated with Magma slowly developed, and as a result, businesses such as human trafficking and planet reselling were derived.
Of course, the employers of mercenary business, human trafficking, and planet reselling, these "criminal activities", are mostly their original colleagues in the empire and some pro-empire civilizations in the Galactic Federation. The Babar clan and the Magma clan have connections with them. , perhaps occurred earlier, or even existed from the moment of defeat,
But it is not easy for the empire to find such a channel that can obtain resources from outside the empire on a large scale while the emperor is recuperating. So even when everyone pays attention to the Babar family and the Magma After what the clan did, everyone chose to turn a blind eye.
In fact, the spaceships and related technologies provided by certain civilizations in the empire during the trade between Babar and Magma provided a powerful basis for the cosmic mercenaries that Babar later completely transformed into a 'nomadic' model. support.
Of course, these are all things in the past. Not long ago, due to the amazing contact between the Empire and the Kingdom of Light, and also due to the reforms brought by Castor, the advanced civilizations of the Empire were in contact with these cosmic mercenaries in an instant. They drew a clear line.
Now, the good days of 'sea trade' have passed, and 'stable iron rice bowl' has become the most sought after thing in the empire.
The original robbery, mercenary and illegal trade were regarded as targets of joint attack under the declarations of the Empire, the Galactic Federation and the Kingdom of Light. The United Er clan and the Magma clan could only take on some tasks such as fighting monsters. , to be able to obtain some resources.
Soon after Castor arrived in the empire, a large number of old, weak, sick and disabled Babars and Magmas were sent back to the Ampera Empire as burdens, and Babalu was the first group of Babars to return to the empire. people.
As civilizations born in the empire, the Babar clan and the Magma clan naturally had their own home planets in the empire. However, it is also natural that those two home stars have been occupied by other countries many years ago. The civilization was occupied and divided, and during this period when the emperor returned as king, other advanced civilizations would not take the risk of being liquidated and sit back and watch the 'betrayers' Babar and Magma return to the empire to establish their country.
But after all, they are also 'advanced civilizations'. Even if they are 'old, weak, sick and disabled', after returning to the empire, these Babar and Magma people can still find jobs such as guiding waterways for low-level civilizations, and Babar is in At that time, he became the cleaner of a certain waterway.
Although he has never personally carried out plunder, for Baba Liu, who has followed spaceships on "adventures" in the universe since he was a child, such a job is naturally very different, especially when he discovers that his job is to help those who When he can easily defeat low-level civilizations at will, his gap becomes even greater.
But although he was very resistant in his heart, Babalu worked very seriously, because there were other people who came to the empire with him.
Baba Liu, who was supposed to be reused as a potential newcomer, was thrown back to the empire together with the 'old, weak, sick and disabled' due to the lack of resources on the spaceship. As a 'young man' among these people, Baba Liu not only had to Using this kind of work to support yourself, you also have to support some elders in the clan.
There are actually many people like Baba Liu. They were thrown into the empire not because they were weak, but because they had not grown up yet. They had not experienced 'plundering'. Young people who had not carried out 'plundering', Even if they have talent, they are just a burden. This is the thinking of the senior leaders of Babar and Magma, who have become completely nomadic.
Babalu, who took on the lives of others at a young age, thought that this was how his life would end. However, not long after he started working, new changes occurred in the empire.
As the number of civilizations that began to engage in trade continued to increase, countless advanced civilizations began to build new ports. From then on, the Babars and Magmas, who were regarded as 'burdens' within their original tribe, suddenly became Delicious.
Before this, only young Babars like Babalu could find jobs to support themselves. But when various advanced civilizations began to build their own ports, he was surprised to find that he no longer seemed to have to support a large number of tribesmen alone.
The construction of ports for advanced civilizations naturally requires some "knowledgeable" or "strong" people, some of which are a little laborious and dangerous, such as "making cosmic cement", "beating cosmic dust", and "twisting cosmic steel bars". Advanced civilizations such as the gentlemen of Mephilas can leave jobs to them that their own people are unwilling to do and that low-level civilizations cannot do.
And under such circumstances, if there is a job that cannot be done due to age or injury, they will be arranged to do some auxiliary work. In short, Babalu found that everyone can find a chance to survive.
As a young man, Baba Liu was capable, educated, and knowledgeable. Of course, because none of the Mefilas clan were willing to go to the construction site, he soon became the small contractor at Mefilas Port. Baba Liu stood out. He was appointed as a small manager to help the Mephilas people manage those low-level civilizations and other workers.
Moreover, I don't know if it was because they wanted to seize the opportunity, but the 'supervisors' sent by these advanced civilizations were all very angry with them. Baba Liu quickly seized this opportunity and relied on telling others about it during work breaks. Some stories in the universe, and by taking the lead every time he worked, he quickly became a group with the low-level civilization at the Mephilan port and other high-level civilization people who came to visit.
Everyone was full of good impressions of Babalu, who was able to work, be flexible, knowledgeable, and able to handle the relationship between superiors and subordinates. There were even people from other ports who wanted to dig Babalu. Unknowingly, he found himself becoming the person who is needed.
For the first time, Baba Liu realized what the evil general Casto from the Kingdom of Light had brought to this decadent empire. At the same time, he also realized for the first time that life did not necessarily have to rely on plunder. Able to find a chance to survive.
Soon, the port was built. Looking at the port that had been hastily rebuilt from the original port, Baba Liu always felt that it was somewhat different from the cosmic port in his memory. Although he had personally watched the port become what it is now, But in the universe, he has indeed seen better ports.
He told his thoughts to the person in charge of a certain Mephilas star at the port. He was also a civilized person who used his brain. The other party recognized Babalu's point of view, but all the ports were working overtime to catch up with the progress. Regarding the current situation, , the senior officials of Mephilas Star had no choice.
However, as a person who could take the initiative to ask questions, Babalu was left to continue doing management work at the port. Then, Babalu found helplessly that these ports in the empire became more and more unique and exclusive. As someone who had experienced As a man from the universe, Baba Liu tried to react upward, but he was very happy. His reaction did not receive any feedback. On the contrary, his position rose a little further.
Originally, Baba Liu thought that his life would be like this, but soon, the empire was reformed again, and a system called the 'Gym' was proposed by the evil general from the Kingdom of Light.
Baba Liu, who had already started to manage the port business, suddenly started his career as a 'contractor' again. Only this time, he was no longer a 'small contractor', but became a member of the Mefilas family of port construction. The overall person in charge of the program.
Babalu became the 'general contractor'!
Of course, before he became the general contractor, as the acting clan leader after Mefilas, the wise general of the Four Dark Kings, left, little Mefilas personally reviewed Baba Liu's information, and then he almost gave it to Baba Liu honors the position of Mephilas.
Mephilas the Younger's investigation of Barbari was conducted from multiple dimensions.
First of all, in terms of social relations, Babalu belongs to the Babar clan. From a 'historical' point of view, he is a member of the empire. At the same time, he was abandoned by the Babar clan. He has no social relations and cannot be more clean. Humanity.
If it were just like this, Babalu would be just one of countless ordinary Babalu people. However, during the subsequent interrogation, Little Mephilas was surprised to find that Babaluu was actually very popular.
From the words of other Mefilas people, what little Mefilas got is a person who works hard, is willing to endure hardship, is not afraid of dirty work, is always on the front line, and has a lot of knowledge.
At the same time, in the mouths of some low-level civilizations, Babalu is a wise, extremely capable person who treats them equally.
During the subsequent investigation, Little Mephilas discovered something that shocked him even more. That was that Babalio was aware of the current port plan before the evil general Mr. Castor proposed the 'gym' system. There was a problem, and although he didn't know how to solve it, he had tried to report the problem more than once.
But if it were just like this, Little Meiphilas still wouldn't think so highly of Baba Liu, because in fact, many people, including himself, have seen this. What really makes Little Mei Filas admire Baba Liu is, He found out that although Babalu was abandoned by the Babar clan, he still insisted on supporting other clan members.
Support your tribe, work hard, be proactive, and be brave enough to ask questions!
Damn it! Little Mephilas looked at the densely packed advantages on Baba Liu's back and was about to burst into tears.
You know, the Mefilas family consider themselves gentlemen. They thought they would never see their kind again in the empire, but the sudden appearance of Baba Liu completely hit the heart of little Mefilas.
In this way, Barbariu personally received the award from Little Mefilas, and then became the 'general contractor' of the construction activities of Mefilas Port.
You know, unlike the previous small contractor, Baba Liu, as the general contractor, can even order some Mephilas. In the empire's system, only the Mephilas can do this.
Just when Baba Liu was still lamenting how fast the times were changing, suddenly, an opportunity appeared again!
Because the Imperial Stars promoted the "Gym" system in the Galactic Federation, and even confidently set up the first quantum satellite between the Empire and the Galactic Federation in the Galactic Federation, finally, the people of the Galactic Federation became curious, and they went to the Galactic Federation for the second time An inspection team was dispatched to the empire, and in order to inspect the 'Gym' system, they specially dispatched business experts for this inspection.
Then came the story of the previous chat between Sanada Ryosuke and Castor. Business experts were full of expectations for the 'gym' system, but they were full of pessimism about the business capabilities of the Imperial people.
After realizing that they would lose a lot of profits due to the lack of business culture, countless advanced civilizations invariably made the same choice. They relied on coercion and inducement to retain a large number of business experts in the empire.
Then bring these experts together to teach potential talents.
At this time, little Mefilas thought of Baba Liu again, and casually put him on the list of the Mefilas clan to study.
The so-called learning about business activities is actually the business experts of the Galactic Federation telling those in the Empire, who only know how to plunder, what 'buying and selling' actually is.
You must know that 'service', 'added value', and 'advertising', these most basic things in business are like fantasy to the people of the empire. In fact, before this, the empire was still in the 'simple' state of exchanging things for things. period.
Then, when the business experts of the Galactic Federation tried to tell these imperial people that the most basic grab-and-run was not a 'buy and sell', they suddenly discovered that there was actually a Babar man who could say 'goods', Words like 'deal' and 'price'.
Although he likes to use strange words like 'planet', 'human life', 'population', and 'head' when making metaphors, at least he knows that life is valuable! ! !
As a result, Babalu unknowingly became the most special Babalu in the eyes of others.
At this time, he received two messages.
One was that he had been promoted again. The evil general Casto, who had changed his life drastically, was going to teach in person, and he was selected by the experts of the Galactic Federation and recommended as a student.
The other one comes from the Babar clan who once abandoned him.
