Although I had accidentally been dragged into the God race's gang of five, and I was physically and mentally exhausted after a day outside, I still felt that it was all worth it when I carried my bags home and saw my family's joyous faces.
Little Bubble has a new toy, so Mother Sparkle is able to live a few more days without being a pillow. Shallow Shallow has a new scarf, even though that lass usually only remembers that she didn't wear a scarf when she comes back from shopping. Anveena has a new kitchenware, but the battle between her and Monina still has to continue. Pandora and Visca each have a set of Grimm's Fairy Tales, and I haven't given up on my ambition of teaching them to be obedient children. Big sister has a new dressing mirror, because I heard from Jaina a few days ago that she intends to use the mirror that big sister currently has to suppress Onyxia. I hope that the unlucky Black Dragon Princess can regain her senses as soon as possible. If you still don't follow the doctor's advice, bitter days will come.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the gifts he brought back today are all very common things. There's even a bag of legendary Bihen laundry detergent (it seems like Kenser mixed it in with the stuff he bought at Erliqiao). It's nothing compared to the eye-catching stuff like Precious Treasures of the World, let alone the Crystal Peak Planet that he gave to Little Bubble a while ago. However, his family is still very happy. What is this called? Giving gifts depends on one's true feelings. At the level of his elder sisters, they no longer care about the value of gifts. Isn't Crystal Peak just a slightly bigger glass ball? Little Bubble thought that the thing was too big and was about to dig a piece out of it.
After dinner, Sandora and I didn't rest early. Instead, we made a trip to the City of Shadows. Now, the matters that we have to deal with have gradually increased.
The date of the Carnival is gradually approaching. The reports from the various worlds have already been collected a few days ago. Now, the envoys and craftsmen of the various worlds have already found their respective territories in the City of Shadows and are busy preparing for the celebration. Just as expected, no matter how remote or how little sense of existence a world is, as long as they know about the Carnival, no one will give up on participating. Even the 'border towns' that only had one or two Transmigrators come over, leaving only a symbolic contact point in their world, they all actively responded to the invitation of the Carnival.
Using this opportunity, the development of the Macro World is clearly presented before our eyes.
When the Space Administration was first established, there were a total of 63,700 registered worlds. Compared to the total number of Transmigrators that almost made the Kepru Temporary Colony Area burst, this number was obviously a little conservative. However, considering that many of the Transmigrators from other worlds arrived in groups, this number wasn't too small.
And now, the number of registered worlds in the Space Administration has reached 120,000, which has almost doubled.
In just a few months, the number of worlds that we have discovered has exceeded the total number of worlds in the past two to three years. The situation where we were once blind to everything is now gone. The eyes of the Empire might not be able to cover the void, but at least we can see the situation at our doorstep.
Of course, these large numbers of worlds aren't under the rule of the Empire. The Empire, which is currently in the stage of revival, doesn't have the military power to cover thousands of worlds in a few years. They are only the results of a 'trip map', which means that we have already established outposts there. The real areas under the rule of the Empire are still Azeroth, the Pan-Galactic Civilization Community, and a few other universes with a large number of armies stationed there. However, for the top inter-dimensional civilizations of the Empire, these coordinates are the most precious treasure.
The reason why we can achieve such great progress is completely due to the Macro World System.
By superimposing the information radiation of multiple worlds and performing a series of calculations to calculate the interference caused by their projection, we can discover new worlds. This is a method that the Empire often uses to 'explore the way' during the expansion period. It is similar to the triangulation method in a multi-dimensional state. Of course, this is just a feeling from the impression, the theory behind it is much more complicated.
According to Sandora, in the era of the Ancient Empire, this kind of exploration is often closely related to 'wars of conquest'. Of course, I don't intend to follow the old path of military expansion like the era of the Empire, but the Macro World System still allowed our network of power to expand at an astonishing speed. I have to say, this is something that no one could have imagined.
To celebrate, tonight, Sandora ate the old kitchen utensils that Anveena left behind after she put on the new ones …
Other than the explosive growth in the registered coordinates of the world, the tentacles of the Space Administration have also been penetrating deeper into the worlds that have established outposts or contact points.
It has been a few months since the establishment of the Space Administration. The transmigrator inspectors who were once rushed to take up their posts have now familiarized themselves with their respective jobs and have begun to expand their 'influence' in this world according to the employee handbook. This influence is the 'local snake intelligence officers' that the Empire has planted in the various worlds. An inspector now needs to develop at least one 'Chosen One' (This is the nickname that the inspectors give to the lucky ones who are chosen in private, to show how lucky it is for an ordinary person to be chosen as an agent of the Empire). So now, the number of employees under the jurisdiction of the Space Administration has at least doubled, which is another huge progress.
Of course, the rapid growth mentioned above is only the momentum of the Macro World. As the work of the Space Administration gets on the right track, the various departments of the Macro World will gradually improve, and the explosive growth of the number of people will soon slow down — — at least in theory.
In the command center of the Shadow Fortress, Sandora and I called for Syves, who is fully in charge of the Shadow Fortress's assembly. She is now giving a serious report on her work.
"Your Majesty, as per your orders, we have doubled the number of guards and increased the proportion of commanders. At least three more Empire soldiers have been sent to all the subordinate worlds of the Space Administration to ensure that there are no problems with the contact points of those worlds during the carnival. Also, we have reconfigured the transmission rules of the dimensional hub, which is a more secure solution."
Syves passed a data chip to Sandora, who placed her hand on the chip and instantly read the information within.
"Not a bad improvement, it is indeed more rigorous than what I originally planned. Also, I noticed that you have divided the guards into two groups. One group is the standard 'Rapid Anti-Sabotage Unit', and what is the other group for?"
Shadora looked at him with an approving expression and asked in a questioning tone, "That's right, Sherlock.
The eyelids of the long-haired aide-de-camp in front of me immediately twitched, "The other group is the strengthened Town Security Brigade, whose main responsibility is to deal with security problems below the level of violent attacks, such as …"
"Such as that Black Super." I instantly understood. So, Syves, you have specially set up an anti-Cicarlo unit?
That's right, it is the carnival after all, we can't just lock that pirate peddler up for half a month just to save trouble, so it is almost certain that something will happen to him during the carnival. Also, the large group of unscrupulous Empire commanders led by him will probably have to push their plastic jade fortune-telling and poker stalls on the streets. For the security problems during the festival, we have to specially arrange a special force to deal with them.
"You say, can't Sicarlo do anything else?"
I looked at Sandora with a slight headache, and the latter spread her hands at me, "You are not willing to give the Emperor's orders."
Alright, I am not willing to destroy that uncle's only hobby in life for the sake of my current situation. Is Sicarlo still Sicarlo who doesn't sell?
"It has been hard on you during this period of time. The security work during the carnival is very important, you must not be careless."
I noticed the slightly tired expression on Syves' face, and my heart was moved. To be able to make the Shiring Apostles show such an expression, it can be seen how much work Syves, the sole person in charge, has been doing these few days. It is not easy to organize such a large scale carnival.
More importantly, as the only normal girl among the current Empire commanders who still has integrity, as a normal girl managing two hundred and ninety-nine unscrupulous commanders under her, it is not easy …
Hearing my praise, Syves, who is already abnormally sensitive to being close to his superior, immediately couldn't maintain his serious expression. He nervously rubbed his hands, the last hope of the Empire's integrity, and said, "Thank you for your praise, this is what I should do. Also, I have recently transferred two decent helpers from the Space Administration to take charge of the specific affairs. Carbon-based lifeforms are really outstanding in dealing with such complicated tasks, it has made it much easier for me."
"Hmm? Promoted from the inspector? "I showed an interested expression," Carbon-based lifeforms that can make you so satisfied? That is rare, who is it? "
Syves thought for a moment, "I didn't pay attention to their names, but they are two girls. One is helping the Second Town Security Squadron maintain law and order, and the other is being borrowed by the Dimensional Hub's Chief Dispatcher to help pull a switch. Yes … "
Sandora and I looked at each other, and at the same time, we were interested in the two newbies that could make Syves praise them.
"They are not people who transmigrated from the previous incident, they had a small conflict with our people and had no choice but to join the Space Administration. Do you want to go take a look?"
I thought about it, since today's matters have been settled, I might as well go take a look. Hopefully, I can delay it for a little longer. When I return, those dolls will be asleep, they are too noisy.
A few minutes later, near the control tower of the Dimensional Hub, we found the two newbies.
One was a black-haired girl wearing a red witch costume with white sleeves and collar. She looked lazy, and she was currently yawning. The other was a blonde girl wearing a strange light purple dress, a fluffy hat, and holding an umbrella.
At that moment, I was completely shocked.
The blonde girl's back was facing us, and she didn't notice that someone was approaching. Instead, she was busy complaining to Red and White in front of her, "Ling Meng, don't always be so lazy. Hurry up and finish today's work, then you can rest. I keep feeling that this space is weird, as if every move we make is being watched by countless eyes. Ahhh, I have to quickly pay the compensation so that I can go home. I am so sleepy …"
"Clang! Plop! "
"Ah Jun?! Ah Jun! "Sandora hurriedly pulled me up from the ground," Ah Jun, are you okay? "
I climbed up dizzily, "I'm fine, I am probably still alive … Syves! Where did you find those two!! "
"You know them? These two girls were accidentally discovered by Inspector C. They were confirmed to be illegal transmigrators, but during the repatriation process, they had a small conflict with our special agents. These two girls are quite strong, and the blonde girl even damaged one of our unmanned support ships. So, they are now working in the City of Shadows, compensating for the equipment that they damaged. Yes, although there was a small problem, they are all very reliable newbies, except for Red and White, who seems to be lacking in motivation. However, I have already decided to let them officially join the Space Administration … "
I … I think I still need to be rescued!
"You … You can go and rest now."
I waved my hand weakly, and let Syves, who had completed his report, go and rest. Then, I exchanged glances with Sandora.
"Actually, this isn't surprising, right, Sandora?"
"The void is so vast. Since there is relevant information on Earth, the corresponding world definitely exists." Sandora chuckled as she looked in front of her, "But it is really messy."
Yeah, it is so messy that there is no end to it. People from the Eastern world actually met with Inspector C. Then, they fought with the warriors of the Empire's Space Administration, and in the end, they were captured and sent to the City of Shadows to work as laborers … What a f * cking magnificent transmigration journey!
The commotion behind us finally caught the attention of the blonde girl and the Red and White Witch. Both of them turned their gazes over, and thus, the two leaders of the Empire and the two intruders looked at each other in confusion.
"Yo!"
The Red and White Witch immediately jumped half a step back, "Ah! Who are you? Overseer? "
The blonde girl beside her revealed a wary expression, and looked at me and Sandora in a defensive posture. Obviously, she had sensed the spiritual power of the strangers in front of her, which she almost didn't dare to touch.
I had expected that the two of them would have a slightly neurotic reaction. It was easy to understand how they had managed to survive. They were pitiful girls who had to work hard for money so that they could return home as soon as possible … What was with this ridiculous sense of guilt?
"Don't be nervous, we're just passing by." I waved my hand at the girl who I had already confirmed to be Yakumo Zi, telling her to relax a little. It was easy to imagine that she had just fought against an imperial airship, and that she must have experienced a thrilling battle. The blasts from the rapid-fire cannons were no laughing matter. Not to mention that she was currently being held captive here — she was definitely being held captive. Everyone knew the habits of these bottom-level imperial soldiers. Every single one of them was incredibly unyielding. Even if it was a good deed, they would treat it as if it was a robbery. Just think about how the special agent who had been sent to deliver the letter to Shingo and the others had acted.
Breaking into a private residence in the middle of the night.
So, it was no wonder that she was nervous about the people here.
"Passing by?" Yakumo slowly lowered her hand, but she still looked at us suspiciously. "Alright, I'll believe that you're just passing by."
"Purple, relax." The Red and White Witch walked over lazily. "We can't defeat them anyway. Actually, this place isn't too bad. Although we have to work, it's much easier than dealing with the mutation. We just have to patrol, and it's fine even if we sleep on the way. Also, we can use that whatever card to buy anything we want in the city center. Finally, we don't have to worry about money anymore … "
Oh my dingdang！！ Red and White, did you have to be so shameless the moment you appeared?
You publicly announced that you were slacking off and spending without limit in front of the highest leader, and you even wanted to drag your friend, who still had some integrity, down with you. This Red and White who took advantage of the situation really didn't need to be saved.
On the other hand, I was really curious about their experiences. The Space Administration didn't find them in the East, so it would be difficult to send them back for the time being. What exactly did they do for them to appear in front of the C.C.?
"To solve a huge problem," Soul said with a bored expression. "After the problem was solved, there was a problem in Purple's space."
"Hey! Don't leave out the most important part on purpose! You were the one who messed around, right? "
Soul decisively filtered out Eight Cloud Purple's complaints. "Ah ah, also, after we came out of the black door in a daze, we bumped into a strange woman with green hair. She even took out a transparent card and showed it to me and Purple, saying that she wanted to arrest us according to the law."
"So, they started fighting?"
Sandora asked, amused.
I didn't know what the cunning Eight Cloud Purple was thinking, but she calmly observed the situation. Ling Meng, on the other hand, thought that we were just passersby. She started to complain, "They fought, but it was totally against the rules! The green-haired woman didn't seem to be capable of anything other than activating her shield, but she managed to summon two guards at once. After Purple and I fought off the two guards who were yelling something along the lines of 'God bless us,' they summoned such a huge spaceship! Purple tried his best to pull the spaceship down, but in the end, a hundred more bigger spaceships appeared in the sky. Then, I surrendered. Now that I look at it, it doesn't seem too bad to make a living here. "
I was sweating profusely. As expected of two people who were out of the norm, the Space Administration would probably have their names on it.
"So, you're working here to redeem yourself?"
I held back my laughter as I looked at the depressed Soul and Eight Cloud Purple, who was trying her best to pretend that she didn't know anything. It seemed that the situation was more complicated than what Seves had reported. Now, even someone like 'Mother Purple' was sullenly learning how to pull a switch here. Those Empire soldiers were really too powerful.
"Why do I feel that your eyes are up to no good?"
Although Soul didn't have any integrity, her intuition was quite sharp. Just as I was looking at her playfully, she immediately shot me a dissatisfied look.
"Actually, the people that you mentioned earlier, the people that the soldiers were referring to when they were shouting 'Emperor bless' …" I shrugged and pointed at the blonde girl who was smiling. "Are the two of us. Welcome to the City of Shadows, I am your current boss. Also, regarding your bonus this month, I'm afraid we have to discuss it … "
Three seconds later, Soul's sorrowful wail resounded through the square, accompanied by Eight Cloud Purple's scolding.
