He'd once haunted the human universe.
It felt as if a great war was about to break out, but for some reason, it hadn't erupted in the past few years. Instead, it felt as if peace had returned.
Many humans in the universe …. They all thought it was the reincarnation of the Master of the Galaxy. This filled the hearts of those schemers with ulterior motives with dread.
The human race seemed to have returned to its former peaceful times.
The era of danger had finally come to an end. Many humans believed that so long as the Master of the Galaxy existed, the balance of the human universe wouldn't be shaken.
Even they knew …. Those schemers hidden in the shadows wouldn't let it all end just like that.
The alien races of the outer realms wouldn't allow the human race to return to a peaceful era either.
They wanted to break the balance.
The Master of the Galaxy had to die! Countless ambitious people in the universe decided to head to the Milky Way to protect the Milky Way, the Master of the Galaxy, or rather, the peace of the human universe.
Of course …. The Milky Way naturally wouldn't shut them out. Countless experts poured into the Milky Way, increasing its overall strength step by step.
Of course, as these experts poured in, there were bound to be some spies among them.
This was unavoidable! The Milky Way was enormous.
It could nurture an astronomical number of clansmen. It was normal for there to be spies among its ranks.
Even if it was the Virtual World Corporation, the Universe United Bank, these huge powers, they had countless spies within.
As leaders, they were well aware of this.
Spies wanted to fight their way in! There was no way to stop them.
If you caught one, you didn't know how many others were hiding in the shadows.
All you could do was investigate as much as possible.
As long as there weren't any spies among the higher-ups, everything would be fine.
Furthermore, the current period of peace was exactly what the Milky Way needed. What the Milky Way needed the most right now was stable development.
In the blink of an eye, ten years passed.
The Milky Way.
The Heaven Stealing Mercenary Group's space station inspired Ye Zichen. He hired high-level technical engineers and built several space stations within the Milky Way.
Before, the Milky Way had to hide …. Whatever it needed, it could only be bought. But now, the Milky Way had been revealed, and Ye Zichen was recognized by the universe as the Milky Way Lord.
The Milky Way could hire these people without any qualms.
Furthermore, the people they hired.
When they found out they were working for the Milky Way, they happily accepted.
Today's Milky Way Galaxy … Although it had only been ten years, the technology inside had changed dramatically compared to ten years ago.
"Lord!"
"The forty-five space stations built according to your requirements have all officially begun operation."
The technician held the energy crystal in his hand.
A projection appeared in front of him, showing the positions of the 45 space stations.
"According to my request, the support should cover the entire galaxy?"
"Yes!"
The technician nodded and said, "The activity range of these 45 space stations covers the entire Milky Way Galaxy.
As long as it's within their range, it'll take at most two hours for them to arrive at the battlefield. "
"Very good!"
Ye Zichen nodded seriously.
Ye Zichen had asked many of the technical staff about the mercenary group's spatial jumping method, but even the former technical director of the Virtual World Corporation, Meng Tai, had no idea.
In the end, they could only settle for the next best thing … building forty-five space stations and stationing troops on them to become the Guardians of the Galaxy, patrolling the Milky Way, ensuring the safety of the Milky Way, and at the same time dealing with disputes within the planets of the Milky Way.
Currently, the Milky Way Galaxy had three hundred and sixty thousand life stars inhabited by the Human Clan.
Most of them had come to join Ye Zichen after the Milky Way announced that Ye Zichen would lead them. Many of their former clansmen had returned as well.
Ye Zichen didn't manage them individually.
He separated the former Milky Way clansmen, the current Milky Way clansmen, and the clansmen who'd come to join Ye Zichen. That way, they wouldn't form small groups or organizations.
"Emperor Star!"
"The Steele Family's slave master is here," reminded Yin Shang.
Ye Zichen smiled and nodded at the technical staff, then entered the interstellar battleship … "We still don't have enough interstellar battleships!"
"The R&D department's efficiency is too low. Yin Shang, if you have time, send someone to buy two hundred thousand of them."
As soon as he entered the cabin, Ye Zichen said to Yin Shang.
"Emperor Star!"
Yin Shang was stunned. He tapped his fingers in the air, then smiled wryly. "Two hundred thousand interstellar battleships? The Milky Way doesn't have that much money in reserve."
"No money?
！”
Ye Zichen, who sat on the sofa, was stunned.
"Do you think our Milky Way Galaxy lacks money?"
In terms of wealth, the Milky Way Galaxy was definitely one of the wealthiest.
Three hundred and sixty thousand life stars.
One hundred and eighty trillion human taxes.
The Milky Way Galaxy had plenty of energy planets. Mining energy was enough to make the Milky Way Galaxy rich.
"Yin Shang, you're not stuffing your own pockets, are you?"
"Please don't joke around."
Yin Shang smiled wryly and shrugged. "Just think about what you've been doing lately."
"What have I been doing?"
"Renting slaves! The number of slaves you've rented. Their dormitories alone take up more than twenty thousand life stars. What's more, you're renting them, but you're even paying them wages. "
"Ah, that's right."
The Milky Way Galaxy's resources were an enormous treasure trove. Not mining them was a waste.
Relying on the Milky Way's clansmen to mine them was a waste.
Too inefficient.
Buying slaves required an enormous amount of money.
Renting slaves was the Spirit Phoenix's suggestion, and he'd accepted it. That was exactly what he'd done.
He'd paid the slaves in order to motivate them to work. He'd let them know that they could earn money by working.
They could rely on their own hard work … to redeem themselves.
This method greatly increased the efficiency of mining, but Ye Zichen didn't see any problem with it.
"The slaves' daily wages are a huge expense."
"Furthermore, you've bought quite a few slave galaxies, including the Shell Star, the Lion Race …. You've bought over forty slave galaxies in total."
"Ah!"
"As for the space stations you mentioned, each one costs over a million primal chaos credits.
Forty-five of them cost four and a half million cosmic credits to maintain every day, and that's not even counting the resources they consume. "
"Ah!"
"Then there's the salary of our planetary system's employees. The universe clearly doesn't have such a thing as insurance, yet you insist on paying them according to Earth's standards. That's another unnecessary expense!"
"Ah!"
When he saw Yin Shang's bitter expression, Ye Zichen smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"You're not putting the people first, are you?"
"You're putting yourself first, but our financial reserves really can't keep up. We're barely able to pay off the interest from the Universe Union Bank!"
Yin Shang sighed. "You want to buy two hundred thousand interstellar battleships? Each one costs over fifty primal chaos credits. Where am I supposed to get ten million primal chaos credits for you?"
"The Blue Emperor's money …. We can drag it out. He should understand. There's no need to worry."
Ye Zichen rubbed his chin.
Actually, even if he didn't pay it back …. The Blue Emperor wouldn't say anything! Even Ye Zichen couldn't do that, but the Milky Way Galaxy was still developing and needed large amounts of capital. It was understandable that the Blue Emperor couldn't be trusted in such a short period of time.
As for the others …. Warships must be bought! This definitely couldn't be dragged out. The Milky Way Galaxy's warship reserves were too low.
"Doesn't the Milky Way Galaxy have plenty of resources?"
"Didn't you say we couldn't sell?"
Yin Shang rolled his eyes. "You said we couldn't let resources fall into the hands of our enemies. Otherwise, every batch of resources we sell would be energy cannons fired at us.
What's more, all the high-level resources are in the Second Universe! "
"What about basic resources?"
"A lot!"
"Sell!"
Ye Zichen pursed his lips.
"But …." "We can't sell to our enemies."
Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows. "Don't we already have an exporter?"
"You're saying …." "That's right, we'll sell to the Steele Family!"
