This result was unexpected for Ji Zhaoming. He looked at Gu Yunzhou in astonishment and said, "You... perhaps you know about the system?"
Gu Yunzhou asked, "What system?"
Ji Zhaoming looked at Gu Yunzhou with suspicion.
He always felt that Gu Yunzhou and the system must have some connection, but unfortunately, he couldn't verify this idea.
He even began to wonder if the system's name was now "Saving Gu Yunzhou".
Ji Zhaoming leaned closer and said, "Now it's your turn to speak. What is your wish?"
Gu He asked, "Am I invisible?"
After saying that, the three of them burst into laughter.
Gu Yunzhou blinked: "It's a secret."
His king is so good, how could Gu Yunzhou bear to let Ji Zhaoming live on a desolate, garbage planet?
He wanted to transform the garbage planet into an ark far removed from the rest of the world, and from then on, Ji Zhaoming would be king.
A burst of light suddenly shot out of the window. Ji Zhaoming looked down and saw a starship approaching from a distance. The burst of light was the lightning bolt he had thrown.
In a daze, Ji Zhaoming felt as if he had returned to the previous world. He turned around abruptly and saw Gu Yunzhou and Gu He standing beside him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, they're still here.
Ji Zhaoming asked, "Who is that?"
Gu Yunzhou initially thought it was his family, but when he squinted, he discovered that there was no "Gu" written on the starship.
Even if he lost his memory, he still remembered the Gu family's tyranny.
They always had to put the character "顾" in the most conspicuous place, as if simply showing the character "顾" would make them invincible.
Unfortunately, the Gu family is no longer the same Gu family. They can only stick to their last shred of dignity and try their best to please the nobles of the empire.
It's utterly ridiculous.
I guess these are the nobles who were chasing Ji Zhaoming. They got some help from the Gu family and decided to attack the garbage planet.
Upon seeing the starship approaching, the residents of the junk planet skillfully began to flee.
Ji Zhaoming asked, "Should we fight?"
Unlike the machine races of the previous world, the people of Garbage Planet are disorganized and lack cohesion.
They had become so accustomed to fleeing that they forgot to fight for their rights.
It will take a long time to change this.
Gu Yunzhou asked, "Why don't we fight?"
He pressed the bell on the table and said to his deputy, "There are attackers. Prepare to fight back."
The deputy hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Counterattack?"
Gu Yunzhou hummed in agreement.
The deputy paused for a moment and said, "But our equipment may be insufficient. Besides, these people are probably not here for us. We can just negotiate properly. There is no need to go to great lengths to retaliate."
"Hmm?" Gu Yunzhou asked, "Are you the city lord?"
The assistant got stuck.
He is certainly not the city lord, but hasn't that been the practice of city lords throughout history?
Even if Gu Yunzhou becomes the city lord on his very first day on the garbage planet, isn't that all in the past?
He had heard of Gu Yunzhou, but contrary to the rumors, his deputy believed that Gu Yunzhou's outstanding abilities were due to the cultivation he received from Dixing and the Gu family.
However, now that Dixing and the Gu family are moving forward, Gu Yunzhou is wandering around every day. With the balance of power shifting, where does he get the ability to launch a counterattack?
Thinking of this, the deputy smiled ingratiatingly, "You, of course it's you. Everything here is done with you as the top priority, but..."
But are you sure you don't want to reconsider?
The people of the garbage planet are worthless. Isn't it a win-win situation to exchange a few people for temporary peace?
Gu Yunzhou said, "You're wrong."
"ah?"
Gu Yunzhou did not continue speaking.
Even if he says it a million times, taking Ji Zhaoming as the primary standard here, it won't make a difference.
He needed to make it clear to these people what Ji Zhaoming meant to him.
Gu Yunzhou said, "Master."
Ji Zhaoming leaned forward: "Hmm?"
Gu Yunzhou picked up the personal terminal and transferred the authority of the Garbage Star City Lord to Ji Zhaoming.
Gu Yunzhou said, "It's a stopgap measure."
He needed to let everyone know that the true master of this place was Ji Zhaoming.
From this day forward, Ji Zhaoming will be the only king.

Chapter 39
This is our new city lord.
Although the garbage planet is remote, it is so unique that its every move attracts the attention of the planets behind it.
The last change was when Gu Yunzhou became the city lord.
Who is Gu Yunzhou?
Anyone who lives in the Empire has heard of this name: Gu Yunzhou. He does whatever he wants, relying on his status as a powerful aplha, and dares to do anything. Many people are waiting for Gu Yunzhou to make a fool of himself.
He landed on a garbage planet and became the city lord; not surprising.
But who is Ji Zhaoming?
When the city lord changes, there will be a brief notification. But when I clicked on it, I found out that the new lord was someone born on a garbage planet.
Is it still undifferentiated?
From any perspective, it's impossible for someone like that to defeat Gu Yunzhou and become the city lord.
The Gu family members naturally noticed this change as well, and frowned, saying, "Could it be that what Gu Yunzhou said is true?"
A person nearby sneered, "I guess Gu Yunzhou thinks Garbage Star is a hot potato. Otherwise, given Gu Yunzhou's temperament, how could he possibly give up the position of city lord?"
Moreover, they haven't heard of any fierce war taking place on the garbage planet. Does that mean the position of city lord is just being handed over to someone else?
Gu Yunzhou?
Are you kidding me?
*
The garbage planet is inferior to the imperial planet in both equipment and combat capabilities.
Fortunately, launching a large-scale war directly against a garbage planet is not allowed, so even the Gu family only managed to deploy one starship, just barely making it to the edge.
This gives the garbage planet some buffer time.
The residents naturally noticed the change in the city lord of Garbage Star and stared at each other in bewilderment, even stopping in their tracks as they fled.
Could it be that Gu Yunzhou is really going to abandon them?
This wasn't the first time this had happened, but the residents of the garbage planet still had a feeling that they couldn't quite put their finger on.
It turns out that on a garbage planet, no one will actually come out to save it.
They were abandoned day after day, treated as laborers, and then abandoned again, over and over again. Shouldn't they have come to realize this fact long ago?
As the starship drew closer, someone tugged at him from behind: "What are you doing? Run!"
The man sighed and said, "I feel a little tired."
The person who pulled him away rolled their eyes at him: "Run or don't run, it's up to you."
After saying that, he left him and ran away.
The man stood there, watching the fleeing people, and suddenly felt a sense of absurdity.
What's the point of running around here every day? Running around today, and there will be countless more todays to come, living a meaningless life, barely surviving. Most of them die before they even differentiate themselves.
Even if they are lucky enough to survive, aren't their children going through the same things?
The man returned to the house, sat down, and quietly awaited his death.
Thinking of something, he suddenly turned on his personal computer—his personal computer was very old and had been passed down from his parents after their deaths. Most of its functions had been phased out, but fortunately, he could still see the news of the city lord's position being transferred.
Ji Zhaoming.
He silently uttered the name in his heart.
Forget it, even if they're just used as scapegoats, the city lord will probably abandon them soon.
"Sizzle".
The sound of electricity flashed by.
The person was stunned for a moment, not realizing what the sound was. After looking around the house, they discovered a device quietly installed on the wall.
It was a communication device used by a city lord to issue notifications unilaterally.
Because it had been abandoned for so long, the equipment was covered in a layer of dust.
Is it finally going to be scrapped?
He walked to the front and brushed the dust off the microphone.
"Hey, can you hear me?"
A sound like flowing water came from the other end of the communication device.
Just by listening to the voice, it sounds like a young boy's voice, like the clearest water, without any impurities.
