Chapter 263

The Fortress of Crepe.

A stern female voice came through.

But if one listened closely to the voice, one would know its owner was not yet of age, to the extent that some childishness could still be heard.

However, on the planet Jarilo-VI, no one dared to underestimate the person speaking.

Because she was the nominal highest authority when Lin Qi was not on Jarilo-VI.

That is, the High Elder of Jarilo-VI—Bronya.

"My Lord Commander, this is the briefing for the recent quarter; please take a look!" Bronya said respectfully.

"Bronya, didn't I say you could make your own decisions on these matters?" Lin Qi said helplessly, sitting in the High Elder's exclusive seat.

"This is different, My Lord Commander."

Bronya covered her heart, her tone full of devotion.

"You are the supreme sun of Jarilo-VI. Even if you do not care, as your subject, your most loyal subordinate, I, Bronya, must let you know the recent situation of Jarilo-VI, to prevent you from being deceived by others with ulterior motives!"

Lin Qi fell silent for a moment and did not refuse again.

He could see that Bronya was completely sincere, with not a shred of falsehood mixed in.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

She was the main force behind shaping Lin Qi into the "Sun" of Jarilo-VI, and the first person to propose words like "grace" and "loyalty."

If one were to say who in all of Jarilo-VI was most loyal to Lin Qi.

It would undoubtedly be this High Elder of only eighteen years.

Of course.

This did not mean others were not loyal.

It was simply that her degree of loyalty ranked first among everyone.

To say it without exaggeration.

Even if Lin Qi asked her to serve in his bed, or even right now in the office, to engage in an unspeakable battle.

She would nod and agree without a moment's hesitation.

Hiss~

Is this Creative Mode? It is indeed satisfying!

Looking at Bronya's pretty face, Lin Qi couldn't help but think.

It really makes one a bit unable to hold back! Power.

120, Bronya's Reward? Pela: I'm done for, I saw something I shouldn't have seen.

In a sense.

Lin Qi is already the Aeon of Creation here on Jarilo-VI.

Because he can play "Creative Mode" here.

No one can defy his will.

Except at the very beginning, when some had not yet recognized reality and thought they could still raise objections.

But after being dealt with, all voices of dissent disappeared.

Just kidding.

Questioning the "Sun's" decision?

Without even needing a system, the Silvermane Guards could bring the questioner back for interrogation.

Even if some possessed strength and were not ordinary people, they were no better off.

After all, even the previous Long Zun of Luo Fu was captured.

His strength, viewed across the universe, was only inferior to that of an Emanator.

At this moment.

Lin Qi appearing in the High Elder's office at the Fortress of Crepe was certainly not a whim.

Rather, he was preparing to meet this former Long Zun here.

After all, no matter how one looked at it, he had once been the second-in-command of a faction.

The respect that should be given must still be given.

At the same time.

There were also the Astral Express and the Stellaron Hunters.

That's right.

The Stellaron Hunters had come to Jarilo-VI again.

It was not just Blade who had arrived alone.

So Lin Qi actually had people from three factions to meet.

These three factions, though their numbers were not large.

Were none of them small fry.

Crucially, they were all plot characters.

If it were just one faction, Lin Qi could have just chatted casually in his own office.

With three factions, it was better to be formal.

However, before that, he still had to listen to Bronya's report.

There was no way around it.

After all, she was his most loyal subordinate.

One could chill anyone's heart, but one could not chill hers.

Besides, it's just a report; it won't take much time.

"Bronya, I won't read the briefing. Report it to me instead. Hmm... try to focus on the key points," Lin Qi said.

A smile bloomed on the young girl's pretty face, and even her eyes seemed to brighten a bit.

Clearly, Lin Qi was willing to listen to her report.

This made her very happy.

Bronya took a shallow breath and said seriously, "My Lord Commander, during your absence, Yalilo has developed well. The economic growth rate for the new quarter has exceeded expectations by two percentage points. Industrial capacity has further surged, rising by three percentage points compared to the previous quarter. It is expected that the targets set at the beginning of the year will be completed two months ahead of schedule."

"The Earthfire Legion has recruited another twenty members, bringing the total legion strength to over ten thousand! Among them, there are five hundred senior pilots, two thousand intermediate pilots, five thousand junior pilots, and twenty-five hundred trainee pilots."

"The number of Yalilo's Firefly Iron Cavalry Legions also officially surpassed five million this quarter. They are currently led by Legion Commander Firefly, clearing all security threats in the surrounding star systems."

"Finally, the population of the Yalilo star system has recovered to three billion. Including non-locals without Yalilo residency, the permanent population exceeds five billion. However, the native population of Yalilo still has not broken through thirty million."

Soon.

Bronya gave a general overview of the report.

This gave Lin Qi an overall understanding of the changes in Yalilo.

It must be said.

Over the past ten years, Yalilo has indeed changed tremendously.

It would not be an exaggeration to say it has turned the world upside down.

It is hard to imagine.

Ten years ago, the Yalilo star system had only one city left.

The population was merely a few million.

And now?

Even excluding those without residency, it is as high as three billion!

A full three thousand times increase!

Hmm?

Lin Qi paused for a moment, feeling the multiplier seemed a bit exaggerated.

In fact, at the very beginning of transforming Yalilo, Lin Qi had roughly run through a population growth model in his mind.

Without external assistance, it would probably take one or two hundred years for Yalilo's population to recover to pre-catastrophe levels.

Yet now, in only ten years, it has recovered to half the pre-catastrophe level.

It cannot be said to be anything but fast.

So much so that it even surprised Lin Qi a bit.
