"18031 people." Alex glanced at the data provided by BLG. This was the only number of Elf people left in the entire universe. He thought for a moment and asked, "Are Elf people good at planting?"
"Yes!" Celestine answered quickly and affirmatively.
"I don't like eating factory-processed synthetic food." Alex put down her phone. The synthetic meat from the Star Destroyer factory was really disgusting. She said, "There is a piece of agricultural land in the lower level of the North District. All your people can live there. I will rent the house to you and your people with an interest-free loan. For those who are willing to clean and provide manpower, I will pay them according to the hourly wage of temporary workers. The rest of the children, help take care of the fields and..."
"read."
Alex waved his hand and said, "Tuition is also considered part of the interest-free loan. Go and prepare to move. 60% of your salary will be used to repay the loan, and the same goes for the output of the fields. BLG, open the tram to the North District Agricultural District for them."
"Thanks……"
"Don't thank me." Alex interrupted the Elf and said, "Just do your job well."
He didn't believe in loyalty, and he wouldn't become someone else's protector. This kind of relationship would inevitably deteriorate in a short time. A simple employment relationship would be enough. Although it was a loan, he didn't have to pay any money, and he only had to pay 40% of the salary. How good.
The other stranded people are basically humans, most of them are engineers or maintenance personnel, there are only a hundred of them, most of them have their families destroyed by the Annihilation Gang. They have no home anymore, and they are grateful to Alex who destroyed the Annihilation Gang. So they also want to stay and work.
Alex agreed.
He underestimated the difficulty of operating these machines. Silver Wolf only taught him how to drive a star destroyer and nothing else.
Besides, they would have to teach the Belobergs later.
…………
three days later.
【Black Tower】Space station.
This is a research institute and storage building funded by the Interstellar Peace Company and privately owned by [Genius Club] #83 Ms. Black Tower. Here are Ms. Black Tower's own collection of rare items, and there are also countless geniuses from other planets who admire Ms. Black Tower's name and join the space station to conduct research. However, Ms. Black Tower does not seem to care about the space station. Not long after the space station was launched into the planetary orbit, she lost interest. Now the entire space station is operated by the acting stationmaster, Esta, a girl with pink hair.
Esta is the first name, the last name, no one knows.
On this day, after finishing the tedious affairs of the space station, Esta took out her mobile phone and browsed the company's mall, preparing to buy a birthday present for her dog Pepe.
"Toys, clothes, snacks... Hey, how come my shopping cart is full without me noticing?" Estelle scrolled down and soon after browsing, the shopping cart reached the upper limit again. She muttered, "When will the upper limit of the shopping cart be raised to 999?" and then emptied the items in the shopping cart.
By placing an order, I purchased 99 items in the shopping cart, removed them from the shopping cart, and continued to pick other things.
"Stationmaster, a star destroyer's warp reaction appeared in the west. According to the company's database, it is a Dreadnought-class star destroyer under the Annihilation Gang's Narudogg!"
The clerk hurriedly reported, and Esta immediately put the phone back into her pocket. She stood in the main control cabin, looked at the surrounding display screens, and said, "Proceed to level 2 combat preparation and communicate with the Dreadnought. If the communication is rejected, directly enter level 1 combat preparation."
The Annihilation Gang is not a good group of people, and since most of them are on the company's wanted list, they hate the company's power.
"Stationmaster, we've made contact."
"Pass it to me... This is the Black Tower Space Station. You have entered the air defense identification zone of my space station." Estelle stood in the center and said to the Dreadnought-class battleship displayed in front of her: "Dreadnought-class battleship, please explain your purpose."
"Oh, hello, hello."
A man's voice came from the other side, saying, "I was attacked by the Annihilation Gang during my interstellar travel. They didn't beat me, but I captured a lot of people with bounties. I want to enter the port. Can you ask the space station to help me exchange the ransom?"
Esta blinked and didn't consider the possibility of fraud. Although their space station was built in cooperation with the company, it was not considered a department of the company, and exchanging bounties was not something they should do.
However, she herself was not short of money, so she paid first and then collected it herself when the company's people came next time. Solving the universe's most wanted criminal was also a good thing.
The premise is that what the other party says is true.
"Please shut down all weapons and power sources." Estelle said, "Stay where you are. We will send a shuttle over to confirm."
"Okay, please, are you Station Master Estar?"
Esta was a little surprised that the other party would ask this question. She should not be well-known in the universe, but she still said, "Yes, it's me."
"I'm your fan! Can we take a photo together later?"
Eh? Fans?
Chapter 42: Rich Woman of the Universe
"That's a lot. Didn't he wipe out the entire destroyer's Annihilation Gang?"
The monitor in the main control cabin showed the real-time information transmitted by the security officer who went over to check the situation. Many people gathered around Estelle, looking at the situation on the monitor and sighing: "There must be one or two hundred of them, all frozen into popsicles?"
The frontline team members, led by an elegant lady in a shirt and skirt, went to check the situation of the prisoners. Because the Black Tower Space Station is a scientific research station, its standard armed forces are not large, and Ester dare not let others dock - even if the ship shuts down its weapons and power, the other party's sudden boarding battle will cause great losses.
"Oh, I've seen this popsicle before. He seems to be the leader of some army. There's a bounty of more than 2 billion credit points."
"More than 2 billion? Is that true? I can never make that much money in my entire life."
Because the contact was okay and no conflict occurred, the woman who called herself Celestine politely took them to check the situation, so everyone was a bit of a watcher.
As Ester's bodyguard, Alan stood beside her and reminded her, "Miss, the person who attacked is very strong."
Alan believes that he is a dangerous element, able to deal with one or two hundred wanted thugs by himself, one of whom is worth billions. Before further confirmation, considering the safety of the young lady, he cannot be allowed to land on the space station at will.
"Very impressive, I wonder if he's a sea ranger?"
The lady on the screen of the Esta ship had stopped walking, and there were no more ice sculptures in her field of vision. She estimated that she saw more than a hundred of them, except for a legion commander, and the rest were small soldiers and crab generals, adding up to about 3 billion credit points. It was no big deal, just transfer it directly to the other party.
"Ma'am, is that all?" Estelle said through the communicator. "Our shuttles are large enough to carry these people. Please allow our people to carry them back and verify the wanted warrants and calculate the amount as soon as possible."
There are many plastic surgery techniques in the universe. If you can exchange money for a wanted criminal's face, it will be a mess. The company has another set of methods to verify personnel, so just a little confirmation will be enough.
Celestine took out a fur coat, put on her hat, gloves, and especially earmuffs, and protected her long ears before turning around and saying, "There are still some in the warehouse. It will be a bit cold next. I'm going to open the door."
As she spoke, she operated the button and opened the isolation panel behind her. When the huge metal alloy door was lifted upwards, the cold air gradually spread, and the twelve staff members who came in couldn't help but shivered. When the temperature dropped lower and lower and the door was opened, these staff members showed puzzled expressions.
What appeared in front of them was a cube of ice that filled the entire warehouse. They looked at each other in confusion, but in the space station, the entire main control cabin was frightened and silent. Estelle couldn't help but take a step back while looking at the screen.
Because the intelligent recognition system on the display was jumping red frames like crazy, hundreds and thousands of them were jumping up, and each red frame represented the identification of a wanted criminal. This was not an ice cube at all, but a mausoleum made up of thousands and tens of thousands of wanted criminals frozen together!
"Gudu."
Most of the people here are researchers. Who has ever seen tens of thousands of corpses in one go? Especially, they were carefully packed together.
"what is this?"
The officer at the scene took a step forward, took out a flashlight and shone it on the ice. With the illumination, more than one face emerged from the ice, scaring him so much that he stepped back and fell to the ground.
“Please don’t be afraid.” Celestine was looking at the group of ice blocks stuck together. She followed the instructions and said, “My boss said that in order not to increase the burden on the space station’s storage capacity, we can directly pull this ice block back to the side of the space station. The identification and statistics work can be done slowly.”
Seeing the group of people retreating step by step in fear, Celestine breathed a sigh of relief. It turns out that I am not timid. Normal people would be scared when seeing such things. Even though she had witnessed the destruction of the Annihilation Gang, it was the first time she had seen such a... souvenir from before.
"It may take some time to identify them." Asta, who had only seen them through the screen and had not yet felt the piercing shock, quickly came to her senses and said, "They are indeed some extremely vicious people. Thank you for your contribution to the peace of the universe."
She needs to check if her bank limit is sufficient and whether she needs to redeem her financial products. There are tens of thousands of wanted criminals, some of whom may be worth billions. Is this the end of the Annihilation Gang's lair?
It seems that the space station has a remarkable guest.
"There are so many people, it will take us some time to complete the count." Estelle said, "If you don't mind, you can come to the space station and take a rest."
………………
On the platform, some staff members looked at the returning shuttle with curiosity. Ester also brought Alan and the security personnel to the platform, ready to see what the person who had eliminated so many Annihilation Gang villains looked like.
As for the statistics, it does take time. They have to send out engineering machinery to pull back the ice block that is larger than a playground, and then carefully cut it to separate each person before they can complete the identification. Esta has now recognized the reality. If she relies on the manpower of the space station to do this kind of thing, nine out of ten chat groups in the space station will complain about her decision. So she decided to send a message to the company and ask them to send someone to do the statistics.
Soon, the shuttle door opened, and the staff carried out the ice of seven legion commanders and Alan Iron Fist, the notorious second-in-command of the Annihilation Gang, and following behind them was a man and a woman.
The woman had been seen before, a woman named Celestine with long ears. When she came out, many male staff members stared at her. She was wearing a white shirt, a black short skirt and black stockings, a standard office lady outfit. She also had a sacred look and a body that shook with every step.
There are no such women in the space station.
Walking in front of him was a young gentleman in a suit.
Just as Ester was looking at him and just felt the calmness and coldness in him, he smiled even more enthusiastically than a believer in joy, and greeted her straight away: "Hello, Station Master Ester! I have admired you for a long time, can you give me a friend status?"
The young boy Alan instinctively wanted to stand in front of Ester, but Ester shook her head. If the other party was ready to attack, he should have done so just now. She looked at the person who was walking towards her with a smile and said in an official tone, "It is my honor to be friends with the hero who eliminated so many thugs. What should I call you?"
“Alex.”
Alex walked forward, looked at the rich lady in the universe whom he had been thinking about since he came to this world, and said excitedly: "Are you engaged?"
Seeing Ester looking at him warily, Alex felt that he had said something wrong. He took a step back, bowed gracefully and said, "Please forgive my impoliteness. It's nice to meet you, Miss."
Asta, in Alex's memory of the game, was a very rich girl. How rich? She passed around hundreds of millions of credit points like two hundred yuan red envelopes, and threatened to buy a Star Destroyer in full as long as it was in stock. And she was also very cute, with a head of pink hair that was extremely playful. Maybe in a few years, if she was willing to grow her hair long and have it permed, she would definitely look better.
Not to mention getting close to her, as long as you have her friend status, you will never be short of money in the future. Not to mention how much money she lent out when she was a child, the red envelopes she gave out during festivals are enough for ordinary people to struggle for a lifetime.
No one knows what family she comes from, but there is speculation that her family holds shares in the company that enriches the entire universe, and should be at least in the top five.
Alex had dreamed that if he married her, he would be able to differentiate his bad fate on the road of nothingness and become a bad star god!
By then, you can stage the drama of "starting as a company son-in-law, and returning as a bad star ten years later".
But now.
Too small, in two senses of the word.
Alex's aesthetic taste is more inclined to be bigger. He likes women who can embrace all of him.
"Hello, Mr. Alex." Alex's sudden enthusiasm was indeed a bit overwhelming for Estelle. She came to her senses and said, "Nice to meet you. May I ask where you heard my name?"
"I have a friend," Alex replied, "who traveled with the Star Express and told me about you."
"Is it the nameless guest?" Esta relaxed a little. The nameless guest on the Star Train did have a lot of exchanges with them. They often brought strange objects and relics from various worlds here to exchange for supplies. Esta had always had a good impression of them, especially Sister Jizi. Since she was a friend of a friend, she was relieved and invited her to the space station to eat and rest.
At the same time, he was told that it would take several days to complete the statistics, and asked him to wait patiently. Alex also knew that his visit was rather presumptuous, so after thanking Estelle for the invitation, he followed her into the Black Tower Space Station.
After dinner, Alex went into the room arranged by Esther to rest. However, it was a suite with two rooms, inside and outside.
After Celestine came in, she arranged the sheets and pillows of the big bed in the inner room. Alex did not refuse. He admitted that he was lazy and it was indeed very comfortable to use his secretary as a life assistant. After sitting in the chair and waiting for Celestine to finish everything, he said, "Thank you for your hard work. Since your scope of work is more than what was signed in the contract, I will give you a raise."
“No need, boss.” Celestine stood up straight and replied, “These are my personal thanks to you. They don’t need to be counted in your salary.”
After a few days of getting along, Celestine finally understood what kind of personality her boss had. He was a hands-off boss who didn't like to be disturbed. It was best not to report anything to him and let him play by himself. Celestine was doing the subsequent calculations of the tuition and rent for the Elf people by herself. She didn't know whether to set it high or low. When Alex asked, he would just say "it's up to you" and evade the question.
As for calling him boss, Alex said that there will be someone else selected as the captain in the future and he will only be responsible for being the boss.
After a while, Celestine returned to the outer room to make the bed. After that, she looked at the starry sky outside in a trance.
What a nice view.
In the past, when I looked at the universe from the Star Destroyer, I only thought that the universe was so terrifying, but now, I feel that the universe is so deep and beautiful. Celestine inexplicably began to doubt herself, and even doubted the fate of Elf, because just now in the space station, she found that she could not understand a word of other people's conversations, and the scientific terms they talked about sounded like myths.
"Celestine."
"Celestine?"
"Yes, I'm here."
"Are you looking outside?" Alex saw that she was looking outside in a trance, and when she came back to her senses, she looked at him nervously.
This secretary is quite sensible, but he is a little timid and has too low self-esteem.
With such a great figure, you should hold your chest up and walk more confidently to look better.
"Right." Celestine immediately got into work mode and said, "Any instructions?
"Where I was born," Alex said, "I haven't experienced the baptism of the Annihilation Gang, but we have faced the Antimatter Army. In the end, the entire planet fell and we were trapped in a city. For hundreds of years, we have never seen the universe and are waiting for death to come. It's actually the same as Mrs. El. But, there is no need to feel inferior, just learn well. No matter who you are, as long as you take the initiative to embrace the universe, the universe will not reject you."
"So, be more confident and lift your chest up."
Alex accidentally said what was in his mind. He looked at Celestine who subconsciously obeyed and puffed out her chest, and said, "I will treat Lady El the same. What I need is a smart and hardworking employee, not a vassal who is protected."
As he spoke, Alex couldn't help but lower his eyes.
Twigs bear fruit.
"I understand, boss." Celestine was grateful for the other party's words of comfort and his attitude towards the Elf people, but when she noticed where Alex's eyes were focused, she blushed and said, "Boss, I..."
If it was the person in front of her, Celestine felt that she had not lost anything, and even made a fortune. She originally thought that the best ending for her was to die quietly, but now she would make a fortune if she lived one more day.
"I wanted to tell you something, I almost forgot." Alex interrupted Celestine and said, "I'm going to bed. Please turn down any requests to see me before 8 o'clock tomorrow. Don't let anyone disturb me when I'm sleeping."
It's time for a meeting. I'm going to the IX Agency to chat. According to the rules, I may meet 41, that is, Walter Yang, today. Ask them when they will arrive at the Black Tower Space Station. If the time is right, we can meet online.
Celestine's words were forced back into her throat, and she said, "I understand, boss."
A place of nothingness, the meeting place of the IXth Agency.
Arriving at a familiar place, Alex felt much more comfortable. He had a vague guess that the meeting place of the Ninth Agency was a gathering place for the power of nothingness. If you come here to check in every day, the power of nothingness will become stronger. Of course, not many people have this feeling, and 41 can't feel much improvement in power.
He felt it was related to [intimacy]. He asked others, and most of them had only met IX. He seemed to have a closer relationship with Hei Dashuai. For some reason, they even chatted for a while.
Of course, he wasn't sure if it could be considered chatting. Thinking back on the experience afterwards, it was already a little vague.
To sum up, he can become stronger by sleeping - which is in line with Nirvana's view. Mr. Zero, the owner of the room who has been idle for many years, probably understands it more than himself. He seems to be here forever.
“Oh, 41!”
Not long after sneaking in, Alex saw the shadow of 41 appear here.
"Long time no see 42. The last time we met was a natural year ago." 41-Walter Yang came closer and said, "Have you checked the dark web? Dr. Primal's robe was sold a while ago."
