Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1305 Conferring of the Title of Knight
Many people watching the game livestream on the Empire's side were drawn in by Prince Holden's actions.

Wow! Prince Holden is so handsome!

"This Prince Holden is a true aristocrat!"

"Yes, Prince Holden leads from the front, and he has a very strong fighting spirit!"

"This game is so realistic! This NPC's behavior is simply unexpected!"

"This bullshit game is so realistic!"

"Those players who followed Prince Holden are now rich!"

"Yeah, yeah, I wonder if they'll get knighthood!"

"Unfortunately, we are too far from Prince Holden's territory!"

Prince Holden, along with several guards and some players, wiped out the pirates and captured two pirate ships.

Yang Bo watched as the game players finished off the pirates and threw them into the sea, without feeling anything was wrong. He figured he was just pretending it was a game, and the pirates deserved to die anyway.

To Yang Bo's amusement and exasperation, killing these pirates actually rewarded him with skills.

They all give you +1 to navigation!

Two pirate ships and 107 pirates!
"He's much more conscientious than those scumbags in the Federation!" Yang Bo thought to himself.

Because the Federation has many cyborgs, those guys simply won't give them any functions.

The same goes for those space pirate groups. Because the population base of those groups couldn't support them having enough pirates, they resorted to various methods, such as modifying humans, creating mutants, and so on!
This is why the opponent didn't use any skills when Yang Bo destroyed the interstellar pirate ship!
Once the gamers on the ship had been dealt with, Yang Bo announced, "I, Prince Holden, hereby knight you all and bestow upon each of you ten gold coins!"

There are still twenty-six players left who boarded the ship with Prince Holden.

After cleaning up the bodies and dealing with the spoils, the twenty-six men nervously watched Prince Holden.

In the game, the knight is the lowest noble rank!

A knight's territory is a knight's domain!
These gamers never imagined that they would soon become the lowest-ranking nobles.

Because nobles have many privileges in the game!
"We pledge our loyalty to Your Highness!" Upon hearing Prince Holden's words, the gamers all knelt down on one knee.

Only Yang Bo felt something was off, after all, these gamers were also nobles in real life.

"Rise, you will henceforth be the faithful guardians of this territory!"

"When the territory is large enough, I, the prince, will grant you lands!"

"In addition, each of you is allowed to recruit no more than ten warriors," Yang Bo added.

In the second game world, the knight is able to recruit other people.

Of course, as the lowest-ranking nobles, knights did not enjoy the benefits of the kingdom.

Because knights relied on spoils of war and rewards from nobles of higher rank.

Like these knights, they will now belong to Prince Holden, who can reward them.

Of course, when Prince Holden went to war, these knights would also bring their recruited squires or attendants with them!
"We dare to die for Your Highness!" The twenty-six game players present were so happy they almost jumped for joy!

This time, not only did I receive a knighthood, but I also received ten gold coins!

Of course, for these gamers, the amount of currency that ten gold coins can be exchanged for in real life is nothing.

Ten gold coins only amount to tens of millions of blue coins!

"Furthermore, all the spoils of war this time are yours to use to arm your subordinates!" Yang Bo added.

In fact, Yang Bo had wanted to do this for a long time: to directly equip these game players.

But a good opportunity just hasn't come!
That's why Yang Bo was so generous this time. Although these pirates' weapons and equipment were rather rudimentary, they still had at least some basic weapons.

To equip more than a hundred soldiers with weapons, a considerable expense would be required.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"In addition, each of these people who died in battle will receive a pension of twenty coins."

"Give them a proper burial!" Yang Bo said again.
Logically speaking, there is no need to provide compensation for players who die in the game.

But Yang Bo knew that as long as the money was given to these game players, they could give money to the people behind these dead game characters.

Yang Bo did this mainly to build a reputation, letting all gamers know that following him would be beneficial.

These twenty-odd gamers were all streaming, and seeing Prince Holden being so generous in the stream, many gamers who had already been deeply hurt in the second game world were moved.

It's like those game players who go in, die, go in, die again, and then want to play the game again!
These gamers have a very good feeling about Prince Holden.

Because in the second world game, all the NPCs are extremely discriminatory towards game players.

Prince Holden is like a breath of fresh air among these NPCs.

"Furthermore, I intend to build a navy!"

"Recruit sailors when we get back!"

"If any of you want to be sailors, go and sign up with the steward," Yang Bo said again. Yang Bo now knew that there were gamers streaming the event, and although he was ostensibly speaking to the gamers on the ship, he was actually referring to the gamers watching the stream!
Because this is real technology in the Navy!
Especially the ancient navy of the Second World Games.

Of course, Yang Bo didn't lose out either, because those two pirate ships were worth at least tens of thousands of gold coins.

These two pirate ships were capable of long-distance ocean voyages and were true warships used at sea.

The warships were not only made of thicker materials, but also covered with copper sheets in key areas!
Although warships have a limited carrying capacity, they are fast.

Moreover, these ancient sailing ships require specialized handling skills.

As for developing weapons for warships, that's a matter for later!

On the way back, Prince Holden's ship towed two pirate ships to the port!

The port was rather rudimentary, consisting of only a wooden pier.

The gamers in Prince Holden's territory were all filled with envy and resentment. They regretted not running faster; if they had been able to board Prince Holden's ship, they would have been knights too!

And those game players who became knights held a formal investiture ceremony!

Prince Holden held his sword, and the knights knelt on one knee.

Prince Holden's sword rested on everyone's left shoulder.

Then he said: "Faced with a formidable enemy, we are fearless and undaunted!"
Humility, honor, sacrifice, courage, compassion, honesty, justice, and spirituality are required!
In my name, I knight you!
The newly appointed gamers shouted, "We swear to serve Your Highness to the death!"

Gamers shout this because they think it's just a game!

Originally, the process of knighting was conducted in the name of the kingdom or another religion!
However, Yang Bo changed it directly, putting it in his own name!
Moreover, these gamers can be said to have risen to the top in one step, because it is very difficult to truly become a knight. You need to become an apprentice knight first, make enough contributions, and meet the standards in various other aspects before you can become a formal knight!

Then Yang Bo gave each of the game players a red cloak.

This is equivalent to a formal knight.

In the armed forces of various countries in the Second World, each branch of the military has uniforms of different colors.

This allows both sides to clearly see what type of unit they belong to, and also allows their commanders to know the location of their respective units!
Prince Holden's territory suddenly gained twenty-six knights.

Each knight gained ten more followers.

In other words, Prince Holden's armed forces suddenly increased by 286 men, including 26 knights and 260 attendants. Of course, the knights were responsible for the food, clothing, and other necessities of these attendants.

However, these knights' attendants could do other work in their spare time.

In the Second World, the knights' attendants usually did things like farming and herding.

The training schedule is uncertain each year, and most of the time it takes place during the off-season for farming.

Yang Bo knew that the followers these knights had recruited were all the same game players, but he didn't care about the relationships between them.

From another perspective, Prince Holden benefited, because he would lose more than 280 people and wouldn't have to take responsibility.

Of course, Yang Bo also provided compensation to the fishermen who were killed by pirates.

Of course, Prince Holden's fame spread, and gamers throughout the Second World wanted to come to Prince Holden's territory.

Yang Bo left the rest of the work to the steward and appointed the deputy captain of the guards to be in charge of building up the navy.

Because there were two warships readily available.

Then Yang Bo made another excuse, saying he wanted to study mysticism, and left the Second World again!
After leaving the Second World, Yang Bo returned to March Star.

After browsing the Second Game World forum, I found that Prince Holden was highly regarded, and many gamers wanted to develop their territory in his domain.

However, Yang Bo knew that things were not that simple, because the place where the game characters were born was under the official control of the second game world.

"Perhaps for a long time, Prince Holden's territory will not receive any replenishment from game players!" Yang Bo muttered to himself.

Because the first is also the official world game, which is the second world space, those people will restrict Prince Holden's development.

In fact, Yang Bo was also taking an experimental approach to Prince Holden's territory.

If someone comes knocking, I'll handle it myself; if no one comes knocking, I'll let these gamers develop on their own.

Yang Bo quite liked the Second World because its climate and other aspects were very suitable.

Planets like March Star are completely uninhabitable. Without advanced technology, humans simply cannot survive in such an environment!
Then Yang Bo secretly made an appointment with Wang Muxue!
Despite the raging winds and torrential rain outside, it had no effect on the fighter jets.

Wang Muxue came secretly, stayed for a few hours, and then left.

Unfortunately, Wang Muxue's identity prevented her from publicly revealing her relationship with Yang Bo.

Not to mention that Yang Bo has more than one girlfriend!

Then Yang Bo went to the center of the universe!

The energy radiation at the center of the universe is extremely high, and ordinary people without mechs or corresponding man-made aircraft simply cannot survive in such a place for long.

To Yang Bo's dismay, he had only been at the center of the universe for a short time.

Something's happened again on Green Demon Star.

The problem isn't elsewhere; it's in our own territory.

Yang Bo released a spiritual seed into Tie Niu, and every now and then Yang Bo would check Tie Niu's memories.

While bored in the center of the universe, Yang Bo checked Tie Niu's memories again and discovered that there were some unusual energy fluctuations in his territory.

Iron Ox, this mutated creature, is extremely sensitive to energy fluctuations.

Moreover, Tie Niu often leads his team to patrol the territory.

Yang Bo appeared in Green Demon Star's own territory!

Upon seeing Yang Bo, Tie Niu rushed over, shaking his head and showing no suspicion whatsoever about Yang Bo's sudden appearance.

Then Yang Bo took out a lot of rare metals.

The more rare metals the Iron Bulls consume, the faster they grow.

Tie Niu's overall strength has reached the level of an A-class superpowered individual.

However, Tie Niu still has no chance against a true A-level superpowered individual, because human A-level superpowered individuals do not use their superpowers to fight against alien beasts!
When Tie Niu saw a lot of rare metals, he roared, and then all sorts of armored rhinoceroses appeared.

Yang Bo looked at the rhinos of all sizes, especially the little ones that looked adorable.

Then Yang Bo patted Tie Niu on the head.

He ventured alone into the underground world beneath the territory.

Yang Bo knew, of course, that there were other, more advanced mutated creatures deep within the Green Demon Star.

As for why Yang Bo didn't provoke them!
It's because the Alliance's Eighth Fleet is outside Green Demon Star.

I will discover these higher-level mutated creatures in the underground world.

It will only attract the attention of the alliance.

As for why the Alliance didn't develop the mutated creatures of the underground world...

That's because technology doesn't work well underground!
Because the energy fluctuations underground are too intense and the amplitude is too large.

It will affect the sensors and communications of various devices!

Yang Bo used to control mechs, but at a certain point, the mechs would lose contact with the outside world, and the radar would stop working.

This is why the Alliance used to turn a blind eye and allow the Ash Organization to operate on the planet!
In fact, the alliance wanted these people to thoroughly understand the situation on the planet so that they could reap the benefits.

Tie Niu watched Yang Bo leave and tried to follow, but Yang Bo waved him off.

Yang Bo arrived in the underground world.

Yang Bo caught a mutated rock lizard in the underground world.

Yang Bo was not a reckless person. Although he had super strength, who knew if there were even more powerful people in the world!

Because these planets have existed for billions of years, who knows if any more powerful beings have emerged during those billions of years?

And is my situation an isolated case?
Yang Bo released the rock lizard before even reaching the area of ​​abnormal energy that Tie Niu had sensed!
To be precise, it was using a mental seed to control this rock lizard.

The rock lizard was completely bewildered and could sense the abnormal energy fluctuations around it. It wanted to run away, but instead kept rushing forward.

Yang Bo can perceive the environment around the rock lizard through spiritual seeds.

Moreover, this mutated creature moves very fast in the underground world.

More than an hour later, Yang Bo discovered the area of ​​abnormal energy!
It was a steaming underground reservoir, and to Yang Bo's surprise, there were energy stones at the bottom of the reservoir.

"So it was the fluctuation caused by the energy stone!" Although he saw the result, Yang Bo felt something was strange.

However, a black shadow flashed by in the next second, and Yang Bo lost contact with the rock lizard!

"So fast?"

"It looks like a flying creature!" Yang Bo was also startled.

The rock lizard was killed just like that!

Yang Bo decided to find some other strange beasts to explore the area further and see what was going on.
