Chapter 1780 Leaving a Clue (Two-part long chapter combined)

Xia Chujian was filled with excitement, but suddenly a brilliant idea struck her.

She immediately replied to Empress Tantai Zijun.

[Xia Chujian]: Your Majesty, if the humanoids can help us defeat the invading Zerg this time, could you abolish their status as commoners and slaves? And grant them equal civilian status?

Xia Chujian did not demand that these humanoids immediately become citizens.

In fact, the vast majority of ordinary people in the Beichen Empire are just commoners.

Having citizenship already puts you in the upper echelons of the Beichen Empire.

Of course, it's the bottom layer within the upper layer.

Citizenship is already a higher status than that of a commoner.

Ordinary people are born as commoners, belonging to the middle class of the empire.

Human-like beings are simply the lowest of the low, such as commoners or slaves.

Ordinary people can even joke that they are destined to be like cattle or horses.

However, humanoids can only live like pigs and dogs, or even worse.

Xia Chujian had always deeply abhorred this phenomenon.

Her suggestion silenced the entire StarNet for a minute.

Because very few normal people have thought about the issue of human-like treatment.

Although genetically we are all human.

However, normal people in the Beichen Empire rarely consider humanoids to be the same kind of people as themselves.

Xia Chujian knew, however, that this was just an illusion for ordinary people.

Furthermore, the Tantai royal family of the Beichen Empire prohibits scientific research in the field of genetics.

Therefore, those humanoids who could have been cured and turned into normal people have been able to survive in this half-human, half-beast state for the past ten thousand years.

In this eerie silence, Huo Yushen, using his verified account, was the first to reply to Xia Chujian.

[Huo Yushen]: I support Lieutenant General Xia's proposal. If Your Majesty does not provide reinforcements and only uses humanoids as temporary soldiers, then if the war is won, Your Majesty must give them compensation equal to their military achievements.

[Huo Yushen]: Military merits of ordinary people can allow them to transcend social classes. Military merits of humanoids should also have this function.

Huo Yushen spoke up for Xia Chujian and the humanoid, and his reasoned arguments immediately went viral online.

Most ordinary people are actually kind-hearted.

They are neither extreme nor saintly.

They might be a little stingy or selfish at times, but those are harmless and not heinous faults.

They are the most empathetic and compassionate group of people.

When Huo Yushen emphasized that the humanoids would serve as temporary troops and become the main force in resisting the Zerg attack, they immediately understood the subtext behind it.

Humans are risking their lives to earn a decent living for their people!
If the humanoids really defeat the Zerg, they will be heroes of the entire Northern Chen Empire!
They never hesitate to bestow the highest honors upon their meritorious officials!
Xia Chujian quickly added a sentence.

[Xia Chujian]: The Guiyuan aliens are the most numerous, but none of them have received formal military training. We also lack suitable weapons to arm them; we don't even have enough conventional mechs, let alone second-generation mechs.

[Xia Chujian]: In the battle against the Zerg, without a mecha, even a genetically evolved being is doomed.

[Summer's First Observation]: When people of this kind use their lives to forge the road to victory, what reason do we have to enjoy the fruits of victory they fought for with their lives without giving them any reward?
[Xia Chujian]: If Your Majesty refuses, then I regret that I cannot comply. I will not recruit humanoids as temporary soldiers.

【Summer's First Encounter】: Every resident on Guiyuan Star must face the Zerg attack and take responsibility for their own lives!
Her last words were both a threat to Empress Tantai Zijun and a reminder to all normal humans in the Beichen Empire.

One must always be fair in life.

Her words finally ignited everyone's passion.

The first to realize what was happening were Xia Chujian and Huo Yushen's die-hard fans.

But now, it is the hundreds of millions of ordinary people who have come to their senses.

Their enthusiastic response once again propelled Xia Chujian's request to have her status as a subhuman and slave revoked to the top of trending searches.

Even many ordinary civilians on Guiyuan Star expressed that everyone has a responsibility for the rise and fall of their country.

Guiyuan Star is not only the Guiyuan Star of humanoids, but also the Guiyuan Star of ordinary people.

Therefore, they were willing to volunteer to join the army and follow Xia Chujian to fight against the Zerg!

In an instant, the atmosphere of preparation for war on Guiyuan Star became intense.

Xia Chujian was also a little surprised.

Huo Yushen said slowly, "...Most people are indeed good. No matter what we do, if we can win the support of the majority, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Xia Chujian nodded: "I believe you, thank you for clearing up my doubts, Commander Huo."

Huo Yushen: "..."

They were talking through the internal communication system of the second-generation mech.

Meanwhile, Empress Tantai Zijun was so enraged that she was about to be born and die!

She stared at the constantly scrolling trending topics on the virtual screen in front of her, then kicked over the desk in front of her.

With a loud crash, the pen holder, jade mountain ornaments, some rare paper books, and important confidential documents on the desk were all overturned on the ground.

The servants dared not speak and immediately went to clean up.

Empress Tantai Zijun took a deep breath, knowing that she was in a difficult situation and had no choice but to submit once again.

This Xia Chujian is really too much!

In front of the entire empire, she was shown absolutely no face...

She had even considered nurturing her many times!

She couldn't sense even the slightest bit of reverence for imperial power from Xia Chujian!

Empress Tantai Zijun replied with a stern face.

[Empress Tantai Zijun]: I understand General Xia's considerations.

[Empress Tantai Zijun]: Here's what we'll do. As long as these humanoids can defeat the insectoids and cure their unstable genes, I will agree to revoke their status as commoners or slaves and upgrade them to ordinary citizens.

Xia Chujian's eyes flickered slightly.

This empress still won't let go of humanoids...

As everyone knows, even if these humanoids can survive the war against the Zerg, they can forget about curing their unstable genes.

In the present-day Beichen Empire, everyone knows that their genetic research has not progressed in the past ten thousand years.

Moreover, the empire strictly limited research on genetics.

What many people don't know is that the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Tantai royal family has actually never stopped its research on genes over the past ten thousand years.

Unfortunately, progress has been slow.

Because this kind of secret scientific research is like working behind closed doors, it will never be able to gather the best researchers.

They could only use members of the Tantai royal family for scientific research.

The consequence of this academic inbreeding is a lack of scientific research results.

Ten thousand years have passed, and we still haven't figured out the principles behind genetic evolution.

Not to mention the unstable genes of healing humans.

No clue at all.

Many netizens believe that the Empress has left a loophole in this request.

When the time comes, the Empress can hold onto this point and refuse to acknowledge it!
Therefore, even if humanoids fight to the death with the Zerg, they can never be upgraded to civilians.

Xia Chujian, however, did not care at all.

Because she knew that her aunt could cure unstable genes in humanoids!

However, the Northern Star Empire's control over humanoids is far too strict.

So at this time, she was indeed taking advantage of the chaos to put pressure on the Tantai royal family. Since the Tantai royal family wanted to use humanoids as cannon fodder, then she shouldn't blame her for seeking some benefits for them.

If it succeeds, then those kinds of people will be able to stand up with dignity.

Xia Chujian replied immediately.

[Xia Chujian]: Your Majesty is wise! Your subject will certainly lead the humans to victory against the Zerg!

Empress Tantai Zijun promised on the StarNet in front of the entire empire that the humans could have their status as lowly people or slaves revoked, as long as they could win the war against the Zerg and stabilize their genes.

Xia Chujian felt that she could do it.

……

At this very moment, the humans watching on the StarNet were all in tears.

They waited for ten thousand years, until they became numb and thought this day would never come.

But now, that day has finally come for them.

Although it may require the sacrifice of a generation of humans.

Because this generation of humanoids will most likely all die in the battle against the Zerg.

But that's not important.

The important thing is that their descendants, and their descendants after that, will never again be outcasts or slaves!

Military merit can benefit one's descendants.

A group of humanoids sat around in a low shack in the southern district of Mulan City.

Ahead is a pull-out virtual display screen.

Among the dozens of humanoids, only one possessed a worn-out smart bracelet that had been passed down through countless hands.

I can access the StarNet, but I'm not real-name verified, so I can't post.

But they are satisfied as long as they can watch on the StarNet.

That virtual display screen was projected from that old smart bracelet.

Now, looking at the trending topic that is so relevant to them, they couldn't help but burst into tears.

A female humanoid cried so hard that her head suddenly turned into a sheep's head.

The sound it made changed from crying to bleating.

The man next to her was also desperately trying to hold back his tears, only letting them flow but not letting them out loud.

When he saw the humanoid woman beside him, who was crying so hard that she had revealed her half-human, half-beast form, he quickly put his arm around her shoulder, pulled her into his embrace, and said, choking back tears, "Na Yan, don't get too worked up..."

"His Majesty has conditions."

"Even if we can help General Xia defeat the Zerg, stable genes are impossible..."

If their genes remain stable, they won't switch between human and animal forms from time to time.

Therefore, there is no such thing as a humanoid being.

The humanoid woman named Na Yan calmed down, regained her human head, and said firmly, "General Xia will definitely be able to help us!"

"I believe in Lieutenant General Xia!"

"If she can make this request, she will definitely fulfill it!"

……

Xia Chujian and Huo Yushen had already parted ways and gone to their respective destinations.

Xia Chujian went to pick up Chen Yanjun and the others.

Huo Yushen, along with his teacup dog Awu, his chubby chick Ayuan, and his little yellow chicken Achou, returned to the Xia family manor on the outskirts of Mulan City.

Xia Chujian quickly located the island where Chen Yanjun and the others were based on the coordinates she had previously sent.

At this time, Chen Yanjun, Lin Nian'en, and Wu Hang were still invisible.

Because they were on an unfamiliar island, they were worried about the remnants of the Zerg or other unknown entities, so they cautiously chose the conservative mode.

Xia Chujian also came invisibly and, not seeing them, sent a message.

Soon, Chen Yanjun and his group revealed themselves and flew towards Xia Chujian.

Xia Chujian also revealed herself and met the three of them in the sky above the island.

"Lieutenant General Xia!"

"Lieutenant General Xia!"

"Lieutenant General Xia!"

Chen Yanjun, Lin Nianen, and Wu Hang were so excited they almost cried.

Finally, they are safe!

Summer has this charm.

At times like these, seeing her gives everyone a great sense of security.

Xia Chujian didn't waste any time and said, "Come back with me, let's go to my house first."

"Tao Pao is there too."

"You all know about what happened on the StarNet, right?"

Chen Yanjun and the other two shook their heads and said, "We don't know, we dare not go online."

Xia Chujian then picked up on the most important point: "His Majesty has sealed off all the wormhole passages on Guiyuan Star."

"There will be no reinforcements for the time being. I am hereby appointed as the temporary supreme military commander of Guiyuan Star."

"Also, if there is another Zerg attack, the humanoids will be our temporary source of troops."

Chen Yanjun, Lin Nian'en, and Wu Hang were all speechless after hearing this, completely taken aback.

After a while, Chen Yanjun spat angrily and said, "...Fortunately, we have already killed all the invading Zerg!"

"Otherwise, where would they find a way to survive?!"

Lin Nian'en said nervously, "What if more Zerg come? We have no idea how they got here!"

Xia Chujian said calmly, "At least the Zerg passage in the sky has been destroyed."

"Don't worry about them attacking from the stars again."

Wu Hang exclaimed with delight, "It must have been General Xia who destroyed it! I knew it! As long as General Xia takes action, the Zerg will be wiped out!"

Xia Chujian smiled and said, "We'll talk about it when we get back."

"Right now, we can't be sure. What if the Zerg come from somewhere else?"

Chen Yanjun said, "In the end, it's because the Zerg on the Southern Cross weren't completely wiped out!"

Xia Chujian nodded: "You've hit the nail on the head."

"But there's no rush. The Zerg's return to Far Star has a special reason."

"I don't think they can just keep sending out Zerg to launch surprise attacks. Let's wait and see."

……

Xia Chujian brought Chen Yanjun, Lin Nianen, and Wu Hang back to the Xia family manor on the outskirts of Mulan City.

Of course, they were also allowed to enter the small dark room first, where Little Yellow Chicken Achou and Little Dog Sixi each "purified" them.

There was indeed a trace of dark purple mist on them, which was absorbed by Little Yellow Chicken Ah Chou.

The misty water vapor from the little dog Sixi thoroughly cleansed them from head to toe, inside and out, including their mechs.

Tao Pao was no exception; he was also cleaned.

Then, Xia Chujian personally cooked a delicious meal for the four of them.

 There will be a new update at 12:05 AM!
