The commander smiled gracefully: "Perfect, I haven't eaten either."
Gu He: ?
Am I inviting you?!
Gu He had never seen anyone as shameless as Gu Yunzhou; the Commander was the second.
Gu He gave a sarcastic laugh: "What, you want to stay and freeload a meal?"
"Is that alright?" Before Gu He could answer, the commander thanked him first, "Then thank you everyone."
Gu He: ? ? ? ? ? ?
No matter how much Gu He didn't want to, the commander still managed to get a free meal before leaving, relying on his thick skin.
After the commander finished eating and left, Ji Zhaoming finally had time to properly read the contents of the paper.
The paper was thin, and there were only a few lines of text.
It represents years of hard work.
Ji Zhaoming placed the paper above his head, the light illuminating it clearly. He couldn't express his true feelings.
There are many planets similar to garbage planets.
Ji Zhaoming was not a saint, nor did he intend to save them one by one. He only learned from Gu He that there were many people on other planets who couldn't even afford the cheapest nutrient solution and ended up hastily collecting their bodies.
But for the Emperor Star, these things are things that even if they were left on the ground, no one would necessarily pick them up.
The paper was taken away, and Gu Yunzhou asked, "What is the master thinking about?"
Ji Zhaoming suddenly jumped up from his chair and laughed, "I suddenly realize how lucky I am."
Even if there are many troubles in the world, at least we don't have to worry about the most basic things.
Ji Zhaoming said, "Pass this paper to your deputy."
"good."
Gu Yunzhou sent the contents of the paper to his deputy.
Without waiting a second, the deputy immediately sent a communication.
Gu Yunzhou answered the call.
The second-in-command, his expression indescribable, called out, "Chief..."
Gu Yunzhou asked, "What's wrong?"
"You, oh no, you didn't just threaten the commander of the Imperial Star right off the bat, did you?" The deputy thought for a moment, then asked worriedly, "Where's the city lord? Should we send the city lord back first?"
Ji Zhaoming popped his head out from the side and chuckled, "I'm here."
The deputy said earnestly, "The city lord doesn't even look after the leader. You all need to come back quickly. The research these past two days has yielded some results. I'm putting our planet into standby mode."
When the city lord was in power, his deputy usually didn't care about the affairs of the garbage planet. Later, Gu Yunzhou and Ji Zhaoming took over the position one after another. Whether it was because they were too lazy to change people or for some other reason, he was always put in the position of deputy. It was like being forced into it and learning.
Watching the garbage planet being built up little by little over this period of time, my mindset has shifted from passive to active.
It's like raising a child yourself, little by little.
Thinking of this, the deputy became even more worried: "I wonder if these equipment can withstand the wrath of the Imperial Star."
“No,” Gu Yunzhou interrupted, “the commander sent it himself.”
The deputy blurted out, "Has he gone mad?!"
Nutrient solution is a necessity for every planet. He didn't believe the Imperial Star commander didn't understand what handing over the formula meant.
This reason is less believable than Gu Yunzhou kidnapping the commander and extorting money from him.
Gu Yunzhou said, "It's an apology, and also a transaction."
What kind of deals are worth bringing these up?
But that makes sense, doesn't it?
Putting aside the value of the nutrient solution, the method used to suppress the aplha riot later on clearly had a conciliatory connotation.
But is it worth it?
Transactions must be fair. If the Imperial Star has placed something so important on the scales of transactions, what does the Trash Star need?
A thought flashed through his mind, and the deputy stared wide-eyed and stammered, "Chief, leader."
Gu Yunzhou raised his eyelids slightly.
The deputy said, "No matter what, you can't sell out our city lord."
Gu Yunzhou: ?
Gu He laughed loudly upon hearing this, "It seems your image on the garbage planet isn't very good."
Ji Zhaoming also laughed, leaning against Gu Yunzhou and saying, "No, no, how could that be?"
What else is worth trading?
On their garbage planet, is a city lord the only valuable thing?
No, their city lord is priceless!
He was about to say something when someone behind him suddenly stood up in shock and shouted, "Deputy Director Bai, Star... StarNet..."
The deputy turned around and said, "What's all the fuss about?"
Didn't you see he was worried about his own city lord? He seemed to be in a hurry, but he was betrayed without even realizing it.
The person behind said, "It's big news! Quick, look at the latest announcement from the Imperial Star!"
Could it really be that our own city lord was sold out?
The deputy's hands trembled as he turned on the quantum computer.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gu Yunzhou still looking at him through the personal terminal, and a cold smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
He nearly collapsed to the ground, taking several deep breaths to calm himself down.
Probably not. Gu Yunzhou has been so good to their city lord, there's no way he would actually sell it.
He clicked on the latest release from Dixing.
It was a very official announcement, and less than two minutes after it was posted, the comments section exploded. She even experienced a blank screen when she clicked on it.
You should know that after switching to a quantum computer, the word "lag" has almost disappeared from the dictionary. He waited for a while for the screen to go blank before the content finally appeared.
[The Imperial Star warmly welcomes the official registration of the name "Garbage Star".]
The deputy's hand, which he had finally managed to steady, almost slipped out again.
The quantum computer nearly fell to his feet, but thankfully it was caught in time. He asked, almost in a trembling voice, "W-how could this happen?"
This is a very direct gesture of goodwill.
The status of the garbage planet has been fully and legally recognized.
Even though he was unwilling, the deputy had to admit that simply registering the name was useless; it all depended on the attitudes of the various planets.
The Emperor Star is now taking a supportive stance.
But why exactly?
Even if their city lord is the only omgea, it's not worth making such a big exchange, is it?
The deputy, suppressing his shock and anger, said, "Chief, you've sold yourself out too? And Gu He as well?"
Otherwise, he really couldn't think of a second reason.
Gu Yunzhou said, "It's a gamble on the future."
Before his deputy could ask any further questions, Gu Yunzhou impatiently interrupted the call, leaving his deputy and his subordinate staring at each other in shock.
Betting on the future?
If bounty hunters gambled their masters' future, then it's not surprising that the Imperial Star would use these as chips.
After all, their city lord is always the one who can create miracles.

After the call ended, Gu He finally couldn't suppress his unrestrained smile and burst into laughter, clutching his stomach: "No wonder Garbage Star didn't develop before. With a deputy like that, it would be the biggest joke in the world if it could really develop."
Gu Yunzhou said, "So you're someone I can sell off so easily?"
Gu He then remembered that his deputy's words had implied something about him, and muttered, "I won't, I'll only be with the King."
Given the deaths of Gu Yunzhou's parents, it's impossible to immediately hold the Gu family accountable; Gu Yunyang can only be used as corroborating evidence.
Gu Yunzhou watched Ji Zhaoming finish his last meal before saying, "Shall we go to the crime scene first?"
"Okay," Ji Zhaoming asked, "Do you know where it is?"
Gu Yunzhou said, "I've heard of it."
Gu He: "I heard?"
The incident happened so suddenly that Gu Yunzhou was kicked out of the Gu family and Dixing before he could even settle in.
Ironically, he wasn't even qualified to investigate the crime scene.
Gu Yunzhou clenched his fist: "Let's go."
The accident occurred on a road leading to the Gu family's home. Because this area only passes through affluent neighborhoods, there are very few people traveling back and forth.
Gu Yunzhou summoned the person who had been in charge of investigating the matter to inquire about the details.
The incident happened a long time ago, and the person retrieved the original report from the archives.
The story goes that the starship's route was altered by criminals for experiments, which led to it crashing into Gu Yunzhou's parents' starship.
Because the murderer was already under arrest, the case was closed hastily.
This reason is utterly ridiculous. Is it some kind of crime of curiosity? Otherwise, why would they use a modified starship for experiments?
Besides, how could such an unclear case, occurring in a place where everyone is either rich or powerful, not be thoroughly investigated, instead of simply writing down a few lines?
The thought of how his parents died made Gu Yunzhou feel no goodwill towards this planet.
Thinking about it this way, the inhabitants of the garbage planet can actually be described as simple and honest.
