Resurrection Empire

Within half an hour, the number of applicants finally surpassed one hundred thousand.

It seems that these 10 people seem to be quite a lot, but compared to the huge base of 40 billion people, it is really a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning.

Something unexpected happened.

Half an hour later, with anticipation, Gruen announced the "truth" as scheduled.

He originally thought that this would definitely be a nirvana to reverse the situation.

Unexpectedly, when these truths were presented to everyone, the number of applicants not only did not increase, but quickly dropped back to [-].

At least 2 people chose to withdraw their registration.

Not only that, among the 2 people, most of them are young talents with potential under the age of 20.

And this number continues to decline over time.Apparently, many people were already conflicted, but after seeing Ren Zhong's current predicament, they changed their minds and decided to stay.

"This... why!"

Gruen Augustus stared wide-eyed, his face full of disbelief.

In the hall of the throne, Ju Qingmeng and Zheng Tian chatted and analyzed the reason.

Ren Zhong once said that most of the people who would choose to leave the fleet to join the Viscount's family were weak-willed and capable trash.

But Ren Zhong's statement may not be entirely correct.

In terms of probability, there are indeed some who have enough potential, but those who are more escaped really want to go out and see the outside world.

At the same time, this group of people also felt that there are so many talents in the fleet now, it doesn't hurt to have one more, and it doesn't hurt to lose one.

Prior to this, Ren Zhong had indeed lied and did not use his future as the Earl of the Empire to morally kidnap anyone.

So there is nothing wrong with these people signing up and leaving.

But now, this matter was directly discussed by another group of headhunters.

Instead, this group of vacillators realized that they could not leave.

Chapter 499 Confrontation

Gruen Augustus realized that he was self-defeating, and hurriedly contacted his father again.

This time, Southgate, who was originally confident in his mind, also felt helpless and fell into a confusion. Then he gave up struggling and only let his ineffective second son do things cheaply. He stayed there for as long as he could get as many people as he could, and then calmly Accept failure.

After hanging up the communication, Southgate rubbed his temples, his mind was full of thoughts, and he couldn't figure it out.

He encountered a precedent that was difficult to find in the history books of the empire.

I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Ren Zhong poured into those people, so that these untouchables like a frog in a well are so devoted to him.

But there is another possibility. In the long history of the Machine Empire, it is rare for the Earl to be the head of the Seeker colonization.

It's not that there are none at all, but it's really rare, and usually it's just some high-ranking nobles who are originally earls who go to play for a ticket in order to enrich their life experience.

As for Ren Zhong, who was originally a lowly colonist, but was born in a very short period of time before returning to his hometown, suddenly rose to prominence, and was promoted three times to become an earl, even rarer.

"Perhaps becoming an earl's people is indeed very attractive to these low-level civilians who have never seen the world, not to mention that the earl is still a fellow countryman of his own, so that even though Gruen has clarified the truth, these people still retain Expectations that shouldn't be there?"

Southgate said to himself.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

If I knew this earlier, when Uncle Nanxiang's cronies contacted him, they shouldn't have agreed so simply.Now it's a bit difficult to ride a tiger. The method of this young Yuan Xingbo seems to be far stronger than imagined.

With a little entanglement in his mind, Southgate tried to contact the steward of the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion, intending to test Liu An's tone through him.

Unfortunately, the other party told him that Uncle Nanxiang had entered the cryogenic slumber according to the original plan, and he did not intend to waste his precious and limited life on such a trivial matter.

The follow-up actions against Yuan Xingbo will be led by himself, and the Secret Service under the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion will be fully responsible.

They will completely carry out the will of Uncle Nanxiang and will not be shaken in the slightest.

In Liu An's long life, he actually encountered similar situations more than once.

But the loyal dogs of the Earl's Mansion can always solve problems for Uncle Nanxiang.

It's the same this time.

The other party's attitude was so firm that Southgate didn't dare to speak out to test it at all. Instead, he had to ensure that everything was under control and only let the other party feel at ease.

After hanging up the communication, Southgate let out a long sigh.

He knew very well that riding a tiger would be difficult this time.

Time passed bit by bit, and the heavy-duty shuttle ship finally arrived outside the atmosphere of Nanjiu b.

There are a large number of large and small aircraft coiled on the surface of this blue planet.

There are even some giant man-made aircraft with a diameter of more than a thousand kilometers moving along long-distance orbits.

The staggered orbits of these man-made aircraft and the distance between them are controlled to a very delicate level, enough to maintain the balance of gravity.

Originally, Ren Zhong thought that he would be made things difficult for landing, but he didn't want a fast spaceship to break away from the nearby large space station immediately after receiving his request for landing, and quickly approached him, and with him He establishes a data link.

The people on this multifunctional spaceship had a very respectful attitude and said, "Welcome to the Earl. I am Di Baolun, the first-level officer of the Foreign Affairs Section of the Military and Political Department of the South Nine Galaxy. Please set the spaceship to automatic follow mode. I will take You go to the Viscount's Mansion."

Obviously, this Di Baolun served in the Nanjiu Military and Political Office, but he was not a direct descendant of the Augustus family.

Maybe this person didn't know that the Augustus family had chosen to stand in line and planned to be an enemy of Ren Zhong, so he showed the respect that should be faced when facing the count.

Ren Zhong was polite, and replied: "Thank you, thank you for your hard work, please."

Di Baolun, who was sitting in the multipurpose spaceship, was stunned for a moment when he heard his polite greeting.

In his not-so-short life, this was the first time he communicated directly with the Earl of the Empire.

Let alone the count, he never even talked to the viscount.

He never thought that an earl would say "Thank you" to himself who had only done a little leading the way without the slightest airs.

Such a feeling lingered in his heart, which was indescribable in words.

Ren Zhong didn't know what his basic sophistication left in other people's hearts. He was only a little surprised why the multifunctional spaceship was delayed for a full five seconds before starting to descend through the complicated three-dimensional traffic line.

Ren Zhong speculates that it may be due to the existence of space pirates that more security checks are required to land on the surface of the planet. .

Twenty minutes later, his shuttle slowly landed on the edge of a huge lawn.

Before landing, he looked down from a high altitude.

This is a super-large garden city covering an area of ​​more than one hundred square kilometers.

But according to Di Baolun's description, this is actually only the Viscount's Mansion of Nanjiu Viscount.

On several other solid planets and liquid planets in the Nanjiu galaxy, the Nanjiu Viscount also holds several smaller palaces.

His own feeling was quite shocking.

The entourage team headed by Ou Youning in the shuttle ship was even more impacted.

Back then, tens of thousands of people in Xinghuo Town were crowded into a small space, and a group of people who were only semi-professional scavengers crowded in a small courtyard, and had to go to the centralized sleeping cabin to gather together in the dormitory every night, exhausted I can't even imagine that a family can occupy an area comparable to the size of Yuanxing's capital city and use it as a residence.

This man is better than a man, better than a dead man.

After getting off the airship, Ren Zhong still didn't see Southgate Augustus, only a servant who looked like a servant was waiting here, leading everyone to the side of the conveyor belt, and pointing at the conveyor belt in a bored manner.

"Step on this passage, you can go directly to the living room of Lord Viscount, please."

Di Baolun, who was watching from the side, changed his face slightly when he saw this.

Ren Zhong didn't say anything, he just led the team to step on it.

Fortunately, there is a gravity locking device on this conveyor belt, so that everyone will not be thrown off due to rapid movement.

Ten minutes later, Ren Zhong and others appeared in the living room.

At this time, Southgate Augustus was finally willing to move his golden butt off the chair, walked slowly to Ren Zhong, and cupped his hands, "Welcome to the Earl, I am ashamed and ashamed .”

Ren Zhong rolled his eyes and looked around, but he didn't find a chair. It was quite playful: "I don't think you look too ashamed."

As he spoke, Ren Zhong stepped over Southgate's side like he was familiar, walked quickly to the only chair at the high position with the word "Nan Jiu" written on it, sat down, and then raised his legs.

Southgate obviously didn't expect his sneak attack, and cursed carelessly in his heart.

He was not as crazy as his own son, who dared to ask an earl to stand up and give up his seat to his face.In desperation, he had no choice but to walk to Ren Zhong's side, cupped his hands slightly, and said straight to the point: "This time I invite Lord Earl to come here, mainly for three things."

"Tell me." Ren Zhong leaned back, and Ou Youning, who was quite discerning, took a step forward, and as if conjuring, he brought out an exquisite enamel teacup from his hand, and put it in Ren Zhong's hand, quite dog-legged.

And Ou-Young's position is also very particular, he happens to be on the right hand side, and Southgate on the other side is on the left and right, like a guard on the left and right.

Southgate's complexion changed slightly, and he cursed secretly.

I thought that Ren Zhong was really a country bumpkin who didn't know how to be polite, but I didn't expect that there were quite a lot of tricks. Doesn't this imply that I am the same as his untouchable servant?

Suppressing his unhappiness, Southgate gritted his teeth secretly, and continued: "The first is the transfer of ownership of Yuanxing Commercial Transport Company. I have sent the electronic file of the ownership of the company to your personal system, Mr. Earl. This bag It's a paper document."

Ren Zhong raised his eyelids, Ou Youning stepped forward, took the paper documents from the other party, and threw them back casually. A professional business assistant from the Arson family opened the document bag and began to verify the documents one by one. .

But on the other hand, Southgate said again: "Because of many changes in Yuanxing, our nine companies have managed Yuanxing's commercial operations for many years. In order to maintain the business operation of the company, we have invested..."

Ren Zhong raised his eyelids, "What about the profit? You make up the profit for me, and I'll give you the management fee, otherwise don't talk about it. Southgate Augustus, is there something wrong with you? Recognition? Do you think I can really be bullied by you? Just because I took the initiative to come to your Nanjiu b does not mean that I really don’t understand the rules of the empire. I’m just thinking that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. You are the military and political director of the Nanjiu galaxy, The administrative division of Nanjiu C is indeed under your control, so I give you this face. But I hope you don't give shame to yourself, so you can do it yourself."

The second half of Southgate's words were stuck in his throat, his face flushed red.

He didn't expect Ren Zhong's attack to be so sudden.

"What the earl said is very true, so the first thing will be revealed. Next, there is the second thing. The source star supernet node was originally guaranteed by our nine viscount families to lease to the empire. Now that the tracer The colony has completed its return journey, and according to the Imperial Lease Management Law, the lease period is automatically terminated, and we have to pay back..."

Ren Zhong raised his hand again, "First of all, what you rent is only the core program of the supernet node, but it does not include the large-scale grid-based computing power center improved and built by Yuanxing Civilization based on Yuan Mercury. Secondly, after leaving Before the Lookout space station, I had already entrusted Viscount Wen Yuanbo of the Royal Family to communicate on my behalf, and filed an application with the Ministry of Commerce of the Empire to privatize the nodes of the Yuanxing Supernet at the price of my combat achievements. The relevant documents have just been sent to me, you You can take a look at it. So, from now on, the supernet node of my Origin Star Fleet has nothing to do with you."

Looking at the electronic document signed and sealed by the Ministry of Commerce of the Empire, Southgate was dumbfounded on the spot, "This..."

He didn't expect his second move to be ambushed by Ren Zhong.

Slowing down a bit, Southgate was cruel again, "The ownership of Tracker 154332..."

He didn't finish his sentence again.

Ren Zhong interrupted him again.

"The ownership of Tracker 154332 is indeed in your hands. I think that even if I want to buy it from you, you will not agree. After all, you are Liu An's dog, and Liu An regards me as an enemy. There is nothing I can do about it Ren Zhong shrugged his shoulders, "However, I have to explain the objective situation to you. Now many core departments of my fleet are on the Seeker spaceship, and it will not be clean for a while. There are also many residents living on the spaceship. , so I will offer you a lease at the market price until I complete the landing. The lease contract is here, you have to agree if you promise, or you have to agree if you don’t agree. If you want to rob, you can only resort to force, you You can give it a try. See if your people die first, or if my people can't bear it first."

In front of his own people, Ren Zhong seemed very cowardly, overestimating the combat power of the Augustus family in various ways, but when it came to Nanjiu B, Ren Zhong did the opposite, deliberately appearing confident.

What he was betting on was that the other party was afraid of his record of defeating the fourth-class mother imperial ship, and he was not sure about the true armed strength of the Origin Star Fleet.

Sure enough, Southgate was severely suppressed by his blow to the head, he only gritted his teeth, and was speechless for a long time.

Ren Zhong smiled again, "I won't embarrass you either. According to the supplementary regulations of the Empire's special service management method for tracing colonies, situations like the Origin Star Fleet have never happened before. I can indeed legally extend the lease for 20 years .As long as you can waive the rent for me, I can make a clear promise to you to return the Seeker spaceship on time after 20 years, how about it?"

Southgate rolled his eyes when he heard this.

Ever since he met Ren Zhong, he hadn't gained the upper hand, and now he could be considered to have an advantage.

Given the environment of Nanjiu C, and the impact of the ant colony that was launched before, it is absolutely impossible for the Yuanxing fleet to complete all landings in just 20 years.

At that time, if I and others take away the Seeker spacecraft, it will inevitably cause heavy damage to Ren Zhong.

Southgate heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that he would have to suffer the whole day today.

Fortunately, you swell.

Chapter 500 Plans and Changes

Under Nanjiu Viscount's language art, everyone felt that they had won.

In this little intrigue, there are no losers.

Everyone wins.

On the way back, Ren Zhong has non-stop organized an online meeting with the participation of all middle and high-level personnel.

At this time, the recruitment team led by Gruen had already left the Origin Star Fleet in despair, taking less than 4 people away.

Most of them are waste material teams composed of the nine major families and their close relatives.

Only a small number of people are old fritters who have scrambled from the bottom.

But the purpose of these people turning to the nine viscount families has become complicated.
