[Level 2 Mission, Defend the Solar System, completed. Reward received, upgraded to the title of Mysterious Merchant.]
[Title upgrading…]
[Upgrade complete.]
[Mysterious Merchant: Extra technology points can be obtained by trading with alien civilizations..]
“The reward for the mission is an upgrade of my previous title to title to Mysterious Merchant?”
Zhao Yu was kind of surprised with no options given after completing this task.
He double checked the benefit give by Mysterious Merchant title and realized it was similar as before.
” That’s all?!”
Was the system playing some tricks on him was Zhaou Yu’s first thought.
He opened the his diary and reviewed the previous records when he first obtained the Mysterious Merchant title.
Soon, he found an obvious difference.
The previous Mysterious Merchant title had two restrictions. Firstly, the technology points received will not exceed the maximum technology level of the traded items, and the second restriction was that it only applied to products, not scientific theories or related technical principles.
“The upgraded Mysterious Merchant title doesn’t have these restrictions anymore?!”
Wouldn’t this mean that he could now endlessly earn technology points with just theory or technical principles?! Zhao Yu was excited to test out his idea.
After feeling joyful for a while, Zhao Yu gradually calmed down.
Could the system really allow him to exploit such a loophole?!
With the combination of Mysterious Merchant and Warlord titles, wouldn’t he be able to easily upgrade to level three, four, or even five?
“Could it be related to the Galactic Empire?!”
The system’s reward mechanism often seemed to adjust to favor his situation.
The rewards given during previous crises, such as defending the Solar System, were all related to the crisis at hand.
Zhao Yu decided not to dwell on it.
” I’ll find out what’s going on when 1 meet the people from the Galactic Empire in three days…”
Milky Way Empire.
The same group of giants were seated together regarding the establishment of the Empire.
“The only thing of value to us is dark matter…”
“Intelligent life is born from dark matter. To obtain it, we need to use these intelligent beings as base materials, extracting dark matter through converters…”
“Direct enslavement might incite rebellion. The best way is to cultivate agents, letting them enslave their own kind…”
“Among the one hundred thousand civilizations, the majority are not suitable for cultivating materials…”
“Let’s change their systems to a feudal dynasty structure…”
Galactic Empire will recognizing the highest rulers of various civilizations as legitimate rulers. We’ll give the third-level civilizations the title of ‘Princely Relative,’ the second-level will be Dukes and establish duchies, the first-level will be Marquises and establish marquisates, and the zero-level will be Earls, acting as lords…
“What if they refuses?”
“Those who refuse will have their entire race capture as material for energy consumption!”
After their discussion, they agreed that the feudal dynasty system was the most suitable strategy.
The giants were not wanting to rule the whole universe. What they truly cared about was dark matter.
With the minimal effort to obtaining dark matter, it is wise to conquer the whole galaxy.
“Next, let’s talk about how we can maximize the acquisition of dark matter?”
Although the giants were powerful enough to destroy all the civilizations in the galaxy, obtaining dark matter required some strategy and time.
However, he needed to use some methods to obtain dark matter.
“Firstly, we must prevent wars between civilizations…”
“Secondly, we must demand them offering us the corresponding amount of dark matter each year, and encourage them to increase dark matter production on their own…”
Refining dark matter requires using life force as materials. Ununited civilization is the best way to do this.
The more power given to the vassals to rule internally, the better this separation effect.
As long as the vassals do not consider those who look like them as their kind, dark matter production will continue to grow.
For these vassals, the population will be a resource, and they will naturally protect and expand the population.
“Preventing wars between civilizations is easy. We’ll issue strict orders and use our military strength as a guarantee. No one will dare to defy us…”
” According to the reports, only about 93% of the civilizations in the Milky Way are still in the mother galaxy. The remaining 7% are missing and still follow the Dark Forest Law…”
“They’re a minority and won’t cause significant trouble…”
“Have you found a way to make those vassals actively increase production?” The giant leader questioned the rest.
“We have some clues…”
“Firstly, these vassals are the highest power within their own civilizations, possessing almost everything. The only things they lack are lifespan and status among other civilizations…”
Throughout history, rulers have sought immortality. The giants understood clearly that this could apply to the vassals as well.
“So, we can start by considering these two aspects…”
“For them to purchase our products to increase lifespan, they must trade with us using dark matter as currency….”
