152: There's nothing I'll miss.

Ten days later.

Governors Mansion, cultivation room.

He Ming finished his cultivation, slowly exhaling a turbid breath.

Ten days in seclusion had brought him considerable gains.

After reaching the Stellar level, his perception of stellar energy had increased severalfold, meaning his cultivation speed had accelerated significantly.

"Has my cultivation speed increased?"

He communicated with the omniscient notebook in his inner universe.

"imperial seal of china's cultivation speed bonus"

"957%"

He Ming raised an eyebrow slightly; this bonus seemed unusually high.

"Why has it increased so much?"

"Wang Chao Star's 15 states, agricultural taxes illegally collected within ten years, refund rate reached 73.5%"

"195,712 participants arrested and imprisoned, of whom 23,100 were sentenced to death"

Upon receiving the answer, He Ming understood.

The bottom-level farmers had recovered ten years of illegally collected taxes, which was no small sum.

Coupled with the execution of a group of people pushed out to take the blame, a portion of the public's trust was regained, and naturally, his luck also increased.

"No wonder so many people are obsessed with wielding power; this feeling is indeed very good..."

"jarvis, have them come over."

"Yes, sir."

Wang Chao's exclusive space shuttle, the small Space-Time Bridge in the storage room slowly unfolded.

Before long, Blazing Phoenix, Bai Xiaofei, Zhang Zhifei, Bai Qianqian, and Shui Meng, five people, successively walked out of it.

The Solar System is located at the outermost edge of the Milky Way, while the Luol Star System is one layer closer to the Solar System, about 50 light-years away.

Over these three months, jarvis had secretly set up Space-Time Bridges on uninhabited planets to shorten the distance, and after six transfers, he successfully connected the two star systems.

To achieve connections for medium and large Space-Time Bridges, more stable nodes were required, which was naturally impossible in the busy Governors Mansion.

The purpose of bringing his trusted aides over was, of course, to establish a base for Blue Star on Ming Star.

At this moment, an identical message popped up on Blazing Phoenix's and Bai Qianqian's smart bracelets.

"Please claim your bank card, account balance: 500 trillion Stellar Coins."

Blazing Phoenix scanned the room and found two bank cards and five terminals placed on a table in the storage room.

He walked forward and took the bank card with his name on it and a terminal.

Bai Qianqian composed herself and quickly stepped forward to put the bank card and terminal into her inner pocket.

Another message popped up on Blazing Phoenix's smart bracelet.

"Mission: Establish a Martial Arts Academy, total number of students must exceed five billion."

Blazing Phoenix looked at this message, not intimidated by the number of people mentioned in the mission, but rather contemplating the deeper purpose of this mission.

Soon, he understood.

Just like the Jiang Family, who were initially controlled, because they obtained the Star Guidance Technique, to get higher-level cultivation methods, the Jiang Family then cast their bait to other Ancient Martial Arts Families.

To obtain deeper cultivation methods and a glimmer of hope for immortality, the other Ancient Martial Arts Families willingly became His Majesty the Human Emperor's enforcers.

"Is His Majesty the Human Emperor trying to completely control this planet...?"

Over a dozen notifications appeared consecutively on Blazing Phoenix's smart bracelet; upon opening them, most were basic cultivation methods in stages.

Upon seeing these basic cultivation methods, Blazing Phoenix already understood what he needed to do.

He thought to himself, "To complete the mission, our Yan Family alone won't be enough; we need Jiang Zhenhai to call more helpers over."

Bai Qianqian subconsciously raised her wrist.

Sure enough, the mission arrived.

"Mission: Within five years, occupy 20% of this planet's commercial market share."

500 trillion to leverage the entire planet's commerce. Bai Qianqian's eyes lit up; she wasn't intimidated by the mission; instead, a surge of excitement welled up in her heart.

A series of notification sounds rang out.

Bai Qianqian opened them and saw a complete business plan, twenty major categories, and complete R&D logs for thousands of products.

She chuckled, thinking, "It seems I don't need to rack my brains; at most, I'm just a runner."

At this moment, Bai Xiaofei and Zhang Zhifei also received mission notifications.

"Mission: Assist Bai Qianqian in completing the mission."

Zhang Zhifei: "This is asking me to be a bodyguard, simple."

Bai Xiaofei breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the mission; thankfully, it wasn't complicated.

Shui Meng had been waiting with her hand raised for her mission, but her smart bracelet showed no prompts.

"What's going on? Why am I the only one without a mission?"

No sooner had she spoken than the message arrived almost instantly.

"Mission: Be stationed at the Governors Mansion."

"Oh, a mission!"

When Shui Meng saw the content of the message, three big question marks appeared on her forehead.

"It's that simple?"

Her heart suddenly felt a little empty.

Seeing the four leave the spaceship, each going about their business, Shui Meng reluctantly followed the smart bracelet's prompt and arrived at the Governors Mansion office.

The door was opened, but the room was empty.

In the study on a higher floor, Shui Meng's virtual projection appeared before He Ming, and a faint smile emerged at the corner of his mouth: "The mascot has arrived."

Five days later.

Governors Mansion, study.

A virtual projection appeared before He Ming.

"Sir, Blazing Phoenix bought a 50-square-kilometer garden estate in the suburbs for 150 billion Stellar Coins."

In the projection, Jiang Zhenhai and Blazing Phoenix stood together, watching several large construction teams working simultaneously.

"Map."

A virtual map of Zhongzhou appeared before He Ming, with the boundary of the Star Sea Garden and its distance from the civilian area, 15 kilometers, specially marked.

"The location is well chosen; the Ancient Martial Arts Families indeed have sharp eyes."

The reason He Ming didn't give the final plan of the omniscient notebook was that entrusting this matter entirely to Blazing Phoenix was the optimal solution.

He Ming: "What about Bai Qianqian's side?"

"Sir, Bai Qianqian acquired a newly built smart building in the city center for 100 billion Stellar Coins and is currently in the recruitment phase; the overall company structure is 58% complete."

"Bai Qianqian applied to deploy Su Jin's entire team. Is it allowed?"

He Ming: "Su Jin, I remember she was in charge of the Star Sea system."

"Yes, sir, Su Jin's operational capabilities are at the top level on Blue Star."

"Give her the team."

"A transfer notice has been sent to Blue Star."

Star Sea Building, top floor.

Bai Qianqian sat in her office, her terminal ringing incessantly.

She was not at ease entrusting core positions to aliens.

Most middle-level positions were also filled by older employees from Bais Technology who were willing to come over.

To quickly build up the company structure, Bai Qianqian simply abandoned her industries on Blue Star, bringing all her trusted aides to Ming Star, and then handed the empty shell company back to her father.

Only the bottom-level employees were directly recruited locally with high salaries, and currently, 80% have reported for duty.

At this moment, her smart bracelet received a message.

"Transfer request approved."

Bai Qianqian raised her hand to look, immediately breathing a long sigh of relief.

In the business world, there weren't many people she admired, and Su Jin was one of them, and among the foremost.

More importantly, Su Jin came from the high echelons of the Star Sea system. This transfer, in a sense, was to open up the interstellar market for Star Sea, so naturally, using someone from Star Sea was the most reliable and reassuring option.

Bai Qianqian leaned back in her office chair, picked up her cup, and took two large gulps of warm water mixed with longevity water.

Once she relaxed, her father's hysterical expression involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

"Qianqian, you worked so hard to build this empire. Bais Technology is now one of the top ten global enterprises. Are you really willing to give it up?"

Bai Qianqian chuckled, a blush appearing on her face, and she murmured to herself, "Blue Star was just the starting point; there's nothing to be unwilling to give up."

"The ultimate value of Bais Technology... is to contribute to Star Sea, until it becomes a dominant interstellar giant enterprise."

"Just thinking about it makes me excited..."
