Chapter 193

However, considering that the immigrant population accounts for the vast majority and they all live on the Dyson Ring, the population on Jarilo planet, or rather Belobog, is still less than thirty million.

It only increased by about ten times.

It doesn't seem that exaggerated after all.

However, wanting to maintain such a high population growth rate without causing chaos is a huge test for resource regulation and management levels.

It's hard to imagine a girl who was only eight years old ten years ago managing such a huge faction in an orderly manner.

Can only say...

This is talent.

Of course.

It is also inseparable from Bronya's efforts.

"Bronya, you've worked hard."

Lin Qi praised, "Jarilo's success today is inseparable from your contribution."

"And, even when I was on Jarilo, I didn't actually manage anything; it was all you, Bronya, who was in charge."

"I actually didn't do much."

Bronya had obvious joy on her face.

It was obvious.

Lin Qi's praise made her feel very useful.

The fatigue from before she came was instantly swept away.

As if working for another three days and three nights would be no problem at all.

However, Bronya could get satisfaction just from Lin Qi's praise.

But Lin Qi couldn't just dismiss her so simply.

"Bronya, to commend your hard work over the past ten years, you can make a request to me, um... no matter what it is, I will satisfy it."

"This is all what Bronya should do."

Bronya shook her head quickly.

Indicating that she didn't need it.

Lin Qi said seriously, "If I don't reward my great contributor, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well at night; my conscience would be guilty!"

In fact.

This is just for Bronya.

If it were someone else, Lin Qi wouldn't promise so absolutely.

That is, he would satisfy any request.

Because if it's Bronya, she wouldn't make those unreasonable requests that are completely impossible to do.

She would only consider whether it would trouble Lin Qi.

For example, now.

After hearing Lin Qi's words, hesitation appeared on her small face.

Still considering whether to say it out loud.

Finally.

After taking a deep breath, she seemed to have made up her mind.

It's just that her pretty face was a bit flushed.

"Commander, could you..."

"Say it, it's fine, no matter what it is, I will satisfy it," Lin Qi repeated after seeing Bronya stop halfway.

"Could you... pet my head again?" Bronya said shyly.

Actually, when she got to the end, her voice was very small.

If not for Lin Qi's superior physique, which allowed him to hear frequencies that ordinary people couldn't, it wouldn't have been easy to detect.

However, the reward Bronya wanted did indeed surprise Lin Qi.

But satisfying it was no pressure at all.

"Then can you squat down?" Lin Qi asked.

"Hmm~"

Bronya moved forward a step, then slowly squatted down, and leaned her head toward Lin Qi.

For a time.

The atmosphere was a bit strange.

Even with Lin Qi's old face, he felt a bit awkward.

Mainly because Bronya is no longer that little girl from before.

Ten years ago.

She was only eight years old.

A little bit big.

Hmm...

In all aspects.

Her hair only reached her shoulders.

And now?

After squatting down, her long silver hair could fall directly to the ground.

From "little duck" to "big duck."

Hmm...

Big in all aspects.

So.

Petting her head now is a bit weird.

Especially looking at the identities of the two, it seems even more strange.

One is the supreme ruler of Jarilo, and the other is the nominal second-in-command, the Supreme Guardian.

However, when that line was crossed, the strange atmosphere disappeared.

Instead, it was somewhat harmonious.

Lin Qi petted Bronya's hair, no longer feeling so awkward.

Although Bronya's face was still red, it was much better.

At this time.

She knelt on one knee, her head resting on Lin Qi's knee, and her eyes were closed, seemingly enjoying this moment.

Just when Lin Qi didn't know how long the "head-petting kill" would last.

Bronya's voice sounded.

Although it was still not loud.

But it was very clear.

"Commander, do you know? Ten years ago, when Jarilo's heating equipment failed and the Fragmentum creatures launched an attack, I once thought Belobog was finished, and there would be no future."

"But fortunately you appeared, and even made Jarilo's former great enemy, the Antimatter Legion, drive away the Fragmentum creatures, and gave Jarilo a bright future."

"So, from that moment on, I regarded you as the sun of Jarilo."

"Commander..."

"Will you always shine on us?"

Bronya asked expectantly.

"Of course."

Lin Qi nodded, "Not to mention anything else, Jarilo is now a faction I spent a lot of effort to build, so how could I possibly give it up?"

"So, you can rest assured."

"But is this the reward you wanted?"

Bronya raised her head a little and said embarrassedly.

"Commander, I just... suddenly felt a bit emotional."

"The reward I really wanted is actually for you, Commander, to be able to..."

"Like today..."

Lin Qi was stunned for a moment and said, "Pet your head?"

Bronya didn't speak again.

Instead, she nodded gently.

The girl's shyness was fully revealed at this moment.

She had gathered quite a lot of courage to make this request.

She even felt it was a bit "excessive."

Outsiders would also find it hard to imagine that the Supreme Guardian, who already had initial majesty, was like a little girl in front of Lin Qi.

However, for Lin Qi, Bronya was indeed not much different from a little girl.

Clearly ten years ago, she was only that big.

In the blink of an eye.

She's become a big girl.

As for petting her head...

"Can do." Lin Qi smiled and nodded, "Future rewards will all be given to you in this way."

"Thank you, Commander."

At this moment.

Bronya was satisfied.

For her.

This is the best reward.

For a time.

The atmosphere in the office was much more harmonious.

Until a soft sound of surprise rang out.

But this sound was very low, and with Bronya's body that hadn't been modified, she couldn't keenly detect it.

Or rather.

In this state, Bronya was completely undefended.

She had no time to care about the outside situation.

She just wanted to enjoy this moment of "head-petting" time.

But Lin Qi heard it very clearly.

He even knew who made this surprised low cry.

It was his secretary.

That is, Pela.

So...

Was he "caught in the act"?

No.

He and Bronya are clean, nothing happened at all, so what's there to be embarrassed about?

Besides.

Even if something really happened, no one in all of Jarilo could say a word.

They would even just think it was a matter of course.

However, he couldn't let Pela wait forever; in case someone else came, it would be even more troublesome.

"Bronya, is the meeting time for the person I'm prepared to meet almost here?"

"So fast? Oh, it seems so!"

Bronya stood up with some regret, even somewhat unfinished.

If it wasn't in the office, how good would that be?

Could she lean on the Commander for as long as she wanted?

Bronya couldn't help but think.

But she didn't forget the things Lin Qi entrusted to her; she left the office and began to prepare for the meeting.

But just as she reached the door, she was stunned.

She saw a small blue-haired girl meticulously organizing documents.

If you only looked at her expression, you would think this girl was working very seriously.

But the problem is...

"Pela, why is your face so red? And so red?" Bronya asked suspiciously.

"Is it? Is my face very red?"

Pela quickly put down the book and touched her cheeks.

Then, through her gloves, she could feel a little heat.

Obviously.

Her face was not only red, but also very hot.

Just like seeing some particularly stimulating scene, making one's blood boil.

Pela stammered, "I, I, I, I might... have a fever. Yes! Just a fever, I seem to have caught a cold recently."

"I see."

Bronya nodded and replied, "A cold, this is indeed a popular disease recently; many children have caught it. But having said that, when Jarilo was still covered by the cold wave, a cold was a completely strange word; at that time, we could even adapt to dozens of degrees below zero. Now that the four seasons change normally, we have started to catch these minor illnesses instead. But this is also a kind of happiness, right?"

"Hmm..."

Pela could only nod; she couldn't say that her cold was fake, right?

The reason for her blushing was entirely because of you, Supreme Guardian!

To be precise.

It was because she saw something she "shouldn't have seen."

Because the meeting time was approaching.

And because Lin Qi was Lin Qi's secretary, she could freely enter and exit many places.

She came to the meeting hall to report to Lin Qi.

Unexpectedly.

She saw such a scene that almost made her gasp.

Pela clearly saw the Commander sitting in the Supreme Guardian's seat.

And the Supreme Guardian?

Only a small part of her head, level with Lin Qi's waist, could be seen.

And it was moving.

This scene...

Instantly made Pela think of the scenes described in the books she read.

It could be described in one word.

Bite?

Hiss~

It definitely is!

Pela had long discovered that Bronya's look at Lin Qi was not right.

But she was too bold, right?

Actually doing such unspeakable things in the office, the most serious scene in the Jarilo star system.

But then again.

It was indeed a bit stimulating.

Making Pela's breathing quicken, her small face flushed.

So much so that when she said goodbye to Bronya and prepared to report to Lin Qi, she still hadn't recovered.

Looking up at Lin Qi's meaningful look again.

Instantly.

Pela's heart skipped a beat, feeling bad.

Damn it!
