Chapter 55

"I heard that the alien lords in the high-level area are also very strong, have rich combat experience, and have strong enough talents."

"It is very difficult to hunt them; this Tuo Sen can kill so many aliens in a day—his strength is truly perverted."

Zhao Xing understood very well that he could form a crushing victory in the low-level area, but if he were promoted to the middle-high-level area, that might not be the case.

"Now I am already a nineteenth-order lord; it won't be long before I break through."

"Once I break through, I will be automatically assigned to the intermediate area; if I want to maintain the speed of earning points quickly..."

"I must let the King-level units like Cloud-Touching, Colossus, and Thousand-Sound mature as soon as possible and possess groups of transcendent units."

At this time, Zhao Xing had four King-level units in his territory.

Colossus Tree, Cloud-Touching Vine, Thousand-Sound Bamboo, and Water Demon Mushroom; except for the Cloud-Touching Vine, which was already in the mature stage, the others were still in the seedling stage.

Among them, Zhao Xing already felt that the Cloud-Touching Vine was about to enter the mature stage!

As for transcendent units, there were even more.

There were over ten types, such as Earth Fire Lotus, Thunder-Sound Bamboo, Golden Sunflower, Soul-Devouring Tree, Mountain-Piercing Vine, Green Water Vine, and Exotic Beast Mint.

The total number of each added up to nearly 100.

As for elite quality, they were countless, already exceeding 100,000.

"I hope that before entering the intermediate area, I can let Cloud-Touching fully mature," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Just then, the smart brain suddenly reminded him.

An acquaintance was requesting communication.

"Hmm? It’s Lieutenant Helian Lie."

Zhao Xing immediately accepted the communication request.

(Main Text)

"Hum~" Lieutenant Helian Lie, wearing high-top combat boots and a military uniform, appeared in Zhao Xing’s room.

The virtual projection was restored one-to-one according to human proportions; Lieutenant Helian Lie was wearing a military uniform at this time, appearing spirited and heroic.

"Senior." Zhao Xing smiled. "Senior, how do you have time to come today?"

"Zhao Xing." Lieutenant Helian Lie also smiled. "Hahaha, if I don't come, I’m afraid you, this genius lord, will be poached by others."

"Senior is joking."

"No, I’m not joking." Lieutenant Helian Lie shook his head. "I’m telling the truth; ten days ago, I came out of seclusion."

"As soon as I came out, I received news about you."

"You don't know how many major forces are inquiring about you."

"Inquiring about me?" Zhao Xing blinked; why didn't he feel anything?

"You didn't feel it because the university raised the confidentiality level of your file, and the Military Department also raised your authority."

Lieutenant Helian Lie said: "If it weren't for this, I’m afraid many people would have already grasped your personal information and found you through various channels."

"Even so, quite a few people still found their way into the university."

"The old principal and I knew you were concentrating on farming points in the Glory Battlefield and had blocked strange communications, so we took the initiative to block quite a few visitors for you; you won't mind, right?"

Mind? Zhao Xing shook his head.

Of course he wouldn't; he had already signed a contract with the Azure Star Military Department long ago.

Zhao Xing was a person who kept his promises; besides, the old principal had taken his younger sister as a disciple.

Doing these things was also being responsible for himself.

If someone wanted to see him every three days, talking about this and that, how annoying would that be?

Lieutenant Helian Lie looked at Zhao Xing’s expression and said generously:

"Hahaha, come, accept the invitation; I will introduce you to a big shot."

"A big shot?" Zhao Xing was puzzled; even someone Lieutenant Helian Lie called a big shot—how strong must they be?

"Senior, who are you going to introduce to me?"

"My superior, Marquis Yun Duo, a powerful Star-level lord."

"A Star-level lord, and a Marquis?" Zhao Xing’s face showed shock.

The Empire’s titles were very hard to obtain.

Like the Glory Battlefield rewards, with 1 billion people competing, the top 100,000 only obtained the title of first-class Imperial citizen.

Only within the top 10,000 did one become a Baron.

One could imagine that the granting of titles was not casual.

Especially from Count to Marquis, this was a watershed.

Generally speaking, a Count’s influence was only on their home planet.

While a Marquis had influence within an entire star system.

It was even possible that they owned multiple planets as their territory.

"You know, our Azure Star does not have a planetary lord."

"So it has always been the Beihe Council that decides the big and small affairs of Azure Star on its behalf."

"Until Azure Star, within the specified time limit, gives birth to a Silver Moon-level lord, or someone establishes sufficient Imperial merit."

"Only then will our Azure Star welcome a planetary lord."

Listening to Lieutenant Helian Lie’s introduction, Zhao Xing nodded.

The Empire’s external wars were all based on planets as the basic unit.

Azure Star had never been able to meet the conditions for producing a planetary lord.

So when fighting externally, it was also a scattered mess.

If a planetary lord could appear, the entire planet would benefit.

However, one couldn't blame Azure Star for not being competitive.

The Beihe Star System also didn't have a 'Beihe Lord', but rather had Silver Moon-level lords serving as councilors.

Handling the big and small affairs of the Beihe Star System.

It was mainly because the Beihe Star System belonged to a 'newborn' star system within the Empire’s territory.

Its development history was not long.

"Currently on Azure Star, there are eighteen candidates who meet the qualifications, and Marquis Yun is one of them."

Zhao Xing also suddenly felt the weight of this Marquis Yun.

One of the eighteen people with the most hope of becoming the Azure Star lord?

The power and the forces behind him were absolutely terrifying.

"But don't worry, Marquis Yun is still very easy to get along with."

"He doesn't have much of a temper."

Lieutenant Helian Lie smiled.

"Come, I have already connected to Marquis Yun’s communication; you accept my invitation."

"Alright." Zhao Xing nodded.

After accepting Lieutenant Helian Lie’s invitation.

The layout of the entire room changed, and the smart brain connected to the target communication.

A holographic projection was immediately presented.

The surrounding scene changed, and he and Lieutenant Helian Lie were on a mechanical spaceship.

Beside them was a huge porthole, revealing a beautiful starry sky.

Before he had time to look at such beautiful scenery.

He heard a violent roar.

"Bastard, what have you been doing!"

"Leading a hundred-person elite team, and you were actually scared away by five aliens?!"

"Now, immediately, right now, get out of here and go to the Military Department to be punished!"

Zhao Xing looked up and saw an officer wearing mecha kneeling on one knee on the ground.

His head was almost buried in the ground.

And above the steps, there was a middle-aged man wearing silver battle armor, angrily scolding.

There were dots of starlight surrounding him, and he was clearly somewhat agitated.
