Planet X-C362 — Planet Brown Earth. It was still the same as it was three years ago. Nothing had changed, but after seeing the prosperity of the ten trade zones, even the most upscale district of Planet Brown Earth paled in comparison.
Luxuriously dressed, pretentious upscale people could be seen everywhere on the streets, walking with arrogant eyes, as usual.
Guarding an inch of land and living their own lives was a joy to them.
Pretty good. At least most of them were self-satisfied and happy with what they had.
Old Devon had opened a small shop in the city, and had also hired people from the slums to help. He was living a good life now. Having a son in his old age, Old Devon always had a smile on his face. At least when Silin saw him, Old Devon was always smiling happily.
Tang Qiuqiu held a large cup of ice cream in one hand and a lollipop in the other. She ate happily, occasionally looking around curiously.
Huimao was clamoring to take a flying car. He had originally planned to take a train, but at Huimao's request, Silin took a flying car instead. He hailed a taxi, gave the destination, and the flying car rose into the air and flew away.
Silin did not allow Huimao to talk nonsense outside, so Huimao expressed all of his emotions through his round eyes. He stared unblinkingly at the flying cars in front and behind the taxi, and could not help but move his claws. There was no other way, his claws itched, and he wanted to pat them.
Silin looked at the scenery outside the taxi window. This planet was still the same. If it was in the ten trade zones, there would probably be a lot of changes every year. The development of lagging sectors was much slower.
When Tang Qiuqiu finished the ice cream in her hand, they arrived at their destination.
Although this was only the edge of the slums, they could clearly feel the great difference from the prosperous areas in front.
"Brother Silin, is this your birthplace?" Tang Qiuqiu asked. In her heart, there was no such thing as a hometown, only the concept of birthplace, and she had no feelings for this concept at all.
"Yes." Silin took a deep breath. The air was still a mixture of dust and decadence.
Huimao squatted on Silin's shoulder and snorted occasionally. It was obvious that Huimao despised this place. Especially since he had just come from the bustling city center, the contrast was even more obvious. He really didn't expect Silin to be born in such a broken place.
The poor houses were still the same, and the garbage dump was still the same. However, there were fewer people, and there were more abandoned houses.
Walking along the familiar street, he came to the door of a bar. This was the bar that Old David had given to Silin. It was also the small shop that Silin had worked in for many years. Before he left, he had sublet it to Er Cheng, who used to live in the same slum. Silin had checked the original savings card. For the past three years, Kari would have an extra sum of money every year, and it was always on time. Although this amount of money was nothing to Silin, it was enough to show Er Cheng's character. Silin was very satisfied.
Er Cheng's brother, Da Cheng, used to live in the slums as well. However, Da Cheng was ruthless and risked his life to work in a high radiation area. Unexpectedly, his genotype evolved from rank F to rank E, and he officially stepped into the city. However, Er Cheng didn't have the guts. He was satisfied as long as he could live peacefully. That was why when Silin rented the bar to Er Cheng, he was very happy. Now, it seemed that Er Cheng had been living well for the past three years.
Silin was no longer the same as he was three years ago. No one could recognize him. The shop's business wasn't good, but it was passable.
Silin didn't stay at the bar for long. Instead, he went to Genya's house. The AI robots had been taking care of the house, so it wasn't very dirty. The Fuji tree hadn't grown at all, and it looked exactly the same as it did three years ago.
After looking around, Silin contacted an intermediary and bought the abandoned houses. He sent the blueprints to them and asked them to build according to the blueprints. At the same time, Silin transferred all the money to them and even paid a little more. The intermediary was very happy and promised that they would do a good job.
Silin used another identity to go through the relevant procedures. After obtaining the ownership of the houses, he left the rest of the matters to the intermediary. They would supervise the completion.
Silin had savings on hand, and they were all Galactic Credits, which could be exchanged for even more Sector Credits. He wouldn't mind even if he had to buy the entire slums. However, Silin chose to let this slum town develop on its own. He didn't want to interrupt this town's pace.
Silin also learned some things. The reason why there were fewer people here was mainly because of the chain reaction brought about by a newly developed planet, Planet X-C369, not far from Planet X-C362.
Planet X-C369 was originally a planet that was much poorer than Planet Brown Saturn. It was much more backward, and this planet's habitability was only Grade B. In other words, if one wanted to migrate to Planet X-C369, they would need more facilities to support it. These facilities would cost a lot of money, and this was also the reason why no one had paid attention to this planet for so many years.
However, three years ago, not long after Silin left Planet Brown Saturn, Planet X-C369 was inadvertently spotted by an investigator from the Feniers Family, a famous family in the League of Stars. The investigator obtained the rights to develop and manage the planet, and thus the planet's fate changed from then on. It was named 'Little Garden'.
'Little Garden' was twice the size of Planet Brown Earth. Its development required a large amount of labor, and the one thing Sector X did not lack the least was cheap labor. Planet Brown Earth, which was relatively close to 'Little Garden', provided almost one-fifth of the total labor force. Of course, these labor forces were of higher quality, and even the lowest genotype was rank E. Since Planet Brown Earth had lost a large amount of labor force from the city center, it gave the people of the slums a chance. Some of the strong and healthy F-rank genotypes were able to find a job at the city center of Planet Brown Earth, and that was why the slum population was decreasing.
In just a year's time, Planet X-C369, which was originally in an almost primitive state, had changed greatly. It truly lived up to its name, becoming a beautiful and colorful garden.
Right now, 'Little Garden' had become famous in Sector X thanks to the Feniers Family's promotion. Moreover, it had become one of the more important tourist planets under the Feniers Family. Every day, people from all over the League of Stars would come to visit due to its fame.
"Do you want to take a look at 'Little Garden'?"
Silin asked Tang Qiuqiu and Huimao while holding a flyer for 'Little Garden'.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
They answered in unison, looking very expectant. The image on the flyer was too attractive.
"Alright, then our next stop will be 'Little Garden'. Let's take a look at the legendary sea of flowers."
There was a direct flight to 'Little Garden' on Planet Brown Saturn, but Silin had already applied for a 'pet' certificate for Huimao. The inspection station outside of 'Little Garden' was under stricter management, and while it was possible to sneak past it, Huimao would still have to come out once he reached the planet. In order to prevent more problems from happening in the future, Silin decided to apply for a 'pet' certificate without hesitation.
However, the word 'pet' caused Huimao to grit his teeth. He thought for a moment and decided to forget about it. He wouldn't stay in the designated 'pet' cabin for too long anyway. He would arrive after a nap.
Little Garden? That sounds pretty good!
