Lu Ming laughed arrogantly, but Lu Yu was very embarrassed. He didn't know if his cousin was joking or serious.
As the highest manager of the base, Lu Ming had very high authority. This base was located in the depths of a canyon in the northern hemisphere of Bright Sea Planet. To the outside world, it was the base guarded by the Orion Star Region's Seventeenth Division.
In other words, this base was a military base in name. In fact, it was the commercial base of the Lu Family. It was normal in Orion Star Zone to have a military unit doing its own work.
The regular army here had yet to be publicly privatized, but in reality, it was already seventy to eighty percent controlled by the aristocratic families.
Of course, according to the constitution of the Alliance, the highest consul and the highest military officer could not be a local. Furthermore, it was a ten-year term, and after this term was up, it had to be rotated.
This rotation system ensured the central government's control over the major star fields. But in the middle and lower levels, they were inevitably infiltrated by the local aristocratic families.
After thousands of years, this infiltration had already reached the upper echelons. Just like the Galloping Horse City, the local forces colluded together to engage in all kinds of illegal businesses to reap profits.
When they discovered that Bai Zhihu was in the way, they immediately found an opportunity to collude with the Great Qin Empire's spies to ambush him.
The local forces of the Orion Star Region were more than ten times stronger than the Pegasus Star. Over the past few hundred years, the Alliance and Great Qin Empire hadn't had any large scale battles.
The Alliance Central's control over the local areas was also decreasing. The local aristocratic families only had their own interests in their eyes. They no longer cared about alliances or laws.
For example, the base that Lu Ming was in charge of was specialized in mining, smuggling, and conducting all sorts of experiments that violated the Alliance's laws.
As for why they had built a base on Bright Sea Planet, it was because of its good location. There were countless flying ships that took off and landed every day. The smuggling airship was hidden inconspicuously inside.
There were many people here. The Alliance wouldn't even count the people who didn't have citizenship on the surface. There were also all kinds of intelligent alien races.
No matter what kind of people they wanted, they just had to grab them. There were many citizens on Bright Sea Planet, but it didn't have the ubiquitous Star Web. No matter what kind of illegal activities they did here, they would not be discovered.
If he was really discovered, he would just kill him to silence him.
Why was the Lu family so powerful? It was because all the fleets near Bright Sea Planet belonged to them. The Lu family was in charge of all the data forwarding and processing of the Star Web nodes near Bright Sea Planet.
If something really happened, they would lock down the planet. No news could get out. If worse came to worst, he could even blow up the planet. All he had to do was push all the blame onto Great Qin's spies.
There were many precious ores on Bright Sea Star. Some of these mines were specially managed by the Alliance. Without permission from the Alliance, no one could mine without permission.
However, the Emperor was far away, and the Alliance's control was weak, so the aristocratic families in the Orion Star Zone became bolder. Privately prospecting for mineral resources. If they discovered precious mineral resources, they would find a pretext to set up a base and secretly mine.
In any case, as long as he could build robots, he could get as much labor as he wanted. If they wanted to, they could even dig a hole through the planet.
There were 2,000 armed personnel in this base, and there were star armors, flying ships, and all kinds of high-end weapons. In this place, no one dared to go against Lu Ming. Those who dared to oppose him were all dead.
Lu Ming wasn't so arrogant in the first place. It was just that he had been in charge of the base for a few years, and he had become bolder and bolder. In his eyes, a mere Bronze Star Master from another Star Domain was nothing at all.
It was Cheng Qingyun's good fortune that the Lu Family took a liking to her. Cheng Qingyun was not qualified to reject the Lu family. If she really didn't understand, there were all kinds of equipment in the base that could train this little woman until she begged for death.
In order to conduct all kinds of research, the base would often kidnap lone Star Masters or Star Masters who were hostile to them. They used these Star Masters for all kinds of experiments.
No matter what hero or hero, after a round of torment, they would become obedient dogs. As for women, they were even easier to deal with.
A few methods were used, and all willpower would be destroyed. Then, a chip would be implanted, and they could monitor the other party at any time. That way, no accidents would happen.
What Lu Ming did was a family secret. Naturally, he wouldn't tell his cousin Lu Yu too much. Seeing Lu Yu's uneasy expression, he became even more disdainful.
However, he couldn't scare Lu Yu too much. After all, this Cheng Qingyun he mentioned did have some value. She was worth fighting for.
As for using methods to forcibly control her, that was the last resort. Because that kind of control would completely destroy a person. There wasn't much meaning in that.
However, if Cheng Qingyun wanted to reject, Lu Ming wouldn't be polite. In Orion Star Domain, other than the Yue, Yang, and Wang Families, who else would dare to reject the Lu Family!
Lu Ming felt that this matter concerned the Lu Family's dignity. Whoever rejected it was not giving face. If they didn't give face to the Lu Family, they deserved to die.
It was also because of this domineering attitude that the Lu Family was able to develop rapidly in the past three hundred years, leaping from a mediocre family to a top family in Orion Star System.
Lu Yu was too young and stupid. Lu Ming couldn't be bothered to explain to him the fundamental principles of a family. He said to Lu Yu, "Just go and recruit her. If she rejects, I'll do it."
"Okay, Brother Ming. I'll go offline first. "
Lu Yu closed the video and sat there in a daze for a while. He felt a strong sense of unease. This matter was going to turn into a huge disaster!
Originally, he only wanted to use the family's power to pick up a girl! That was why he purposely emphasized Cheng Qingyun's potential. Then, he could get the family to help him marry this girl.
Lu Yu's thinking was simple. Even if Cheng Qingyun didn't like him, under the pressure of the family, there was a high chance that she would agree. If the other party really wasn't willing, then forget it.
At least he had tried, and he had tried. However, Lu Ming's words made him realize that the situation wasn't so simple.
It would be fine if Cheng Qingyun agreed. If she didn't, Lu Ming would fall out with her. Lu Yu had just entered university. His thoughts were actually very simple.
Although he often used his family's power to act like a tyrant, he only bullied honest people. He didn't dare to go overboard. After all, he wasn't that kind of person.
Lu Yu was a little regretful. If he knew Lu Ming was like this, he would have asked Chen Zhongshan for help. Although this cousin wasn't close, he was a decent person. There wasn't much to it.
Lu Yu sighed for a long time. He couldn't think of a solution. In the end, he had no choice but to send a message to Cheng Qingyun and invite her for a video chat.
They weren't friends yet. They could only communicate through the school's directory.
Lu Yu waited for a long time before he got a reply: What's up?
"Something important. Very important." Lu Yu had no choice but to emphasize that it was important.
After a long time, Lu Yu received a video chat invitation. After he clicked on it, he saw Cheng Qingyun lying there lazily. Although she was dressed conservatively in her pajamas, he could tell what she was doing just now from the seductive look in her eyes.
Lu Yu felt bitter. He thought of Cheng Qingyun as a goddess. But the goddess was with another man.
Cheng Qingyun waited for a while. Seeing that Lu Yu wasn't saying anything, she couldn't help but frown. "If you have something to say, say it quickly. I need to rest."
Lu Yu gathered his courage and said, "You are an outstanding Star Master. Your future is limitless. We are willing to work with you. We will provide you with all kinds of resources and help you become a top-notch Star Master! "
Lu Yu thought about these words many times. He stuttered at the beginning, but the more he spoke, the smoother he became. His expression also relaxed.
Cheng Qingyun was a little surprised. She was just talking to Gao Zhengyang about this. She was worried that other aristocratic families would target Gao Zhengyang. However, Gao Zhengyang said that it was very likely that someone would target her first!
What Cheng Qingyun didn't expect was that Lu Yu would appear in such a short time.
Lu Yu misunderstood Cheng Qingyun's meaning and thought that she was a little tempted. He hurriedly continued, "Our Lu Family will provide you with all kinds of resources. Whether you go to the military or the government, we will guarantee that your path to the top will be smooth. In terms of Star Master cultivation, we can improve all kinds of secret spiritual cultivation methods, including star armor modification, guidance from famous teachers, and so on … "
"Oh, that's so good. There must be some conditions, right?"
Cheng Qingyun was very curious. What would the other party want from her with such good conditions?
"There are no conditions."
Lu Yu gulped nervously. His face was red as he said, "I just need you to, um, marry me."
Cheng Qingyun didn't move. It was as if there was a sudden network delay. Lu Yu glanced at the communication signal at the top of the screen. It was full. He didn't understand what was wrong. He was nervous and confused. "What's wrong? Can you hear me? "
After a full twenty seconds, Cheng Qingyun finally spoke on the screen. She asked with a serious expression, "Are you serious about what you're saying?"
Lu Yu nodded repeatedly. "Absolutely serious. I swear, I'm not joking."
Cheng Qingyun looked at Lu Yu's big face. She wanted to say, "Don't you look in the mirror?" But after thinking about it, she didn't say it. It wasn't good to be so harsh.
She said formally, "I'm sorry. I already have a boyfriend. I can't choose someone else. I can only reject. Goodbye. "
"Our Lu family gave you third-level resources …"
Before Lu Yu could finish, the video ended. His voice grew softer and softer as he said the last few words.
Third-level resources were very important. Even a direct descendant like Lu Yu only had second-level resources. Cheng Qingyun didn't even listen to him and rejected him directly. She didn't respect the Lu family at all. She didn't respect him at all.
Lu Yu wasn't a bad person. But because of his looks, he was a little extreme and sensitive. Cheng Qingyun's rejection made him angrier the more he thought about it.
Young people were like this. They suddenly fell in love and hated when they couldn't get it. Because this kind of love was actually a strong possessiveness. If they couldn't get it, they would feel sad. This kind of sadness would turn into sadness. Sometimes, it would turn into intense anger.
"Two girls sleeping with a guy. Shameless b * tch, how dare she look down on me!"
Lu Yu became angrier as he cursed. He sent a video to Lu Ming and complained angrily, "This woman looks down on our Lu family. She rejected us directly."
"Hehe, she doesn't know what's good for her."
Lu Ming sneered. "When it's a school holiday, think of a way to bring her to Minghai Planet. I'll take care of her. Make her docile like a bitch. At that time, you can play with her however you want! "
"Thank you, Brother Ming."
Although Lu Yu felt uncomfortable, he still expressed his gratitude.
"We're all family, no need to be so polite. It's that woman who doesn't know better. You're part of the Lu family and will become stronger and stronger in the future … I still have work to do. Talk to you later. "
Lu Ming smiled and comforted Lu Yu. Then, he closed the video and connected to another video.
A man wearing an anti-gas suit appeared on the screen. He saluted Lu Ming and said, "The gene implanted in subject number 371 is collapsing. It has already lost its experimental value. Please deal with it immediately."
At the same time, a transparent glass tank appeared below the screen. There was a naked woman inside. Her body had thousands of black barbs growing out of it. It looked extremely terrifying.
The woman kept screaming in the nutrient solution. However, her body had already started to collapse. She was about to die.
Lu Ming frowned and said, "This is a Bronze 8 star master. You guys killed her so quickly!"
He said helplessly, "Alright, destroy it immediately."
The staff member nodded. After operating the smart terminal, the glass tank suddenly flashed with a ball of white lightning. The terrifying high voltage plasma incinerated and decomposed all life.
