Chapter 17: Obey or Die (Part 3)
Being treated as a custodial mode exactly met Li Aozi's expectations. He constantly switched operations between the two accounts, and a series of precise engineering projects began to be unleashed rampantly.
Why did the True General ride a motorcycle everywhere, taking half a day to reach the White Frost Capital? It wasn't to waste time showing off. Instead, he was collecting various landmark information to put Azure Star on the public auction platform.
Next, what needs to be done is quite simple.
Li Aozi had accumulated a substantial amount of wealth precisely for this moment.
The news that Azure Star was put up for sale instantly left the three major Narrative Civilizations unresponsive.
"What is going on?" The Empire's ambassador urgently summoned the Galaxy Civilization: "Weren't you instructed that this planet was sealed by Ersha and should remain neutral and ownerless? Now that it's been auctioned off, it will have legitimate garrison rights."
"We, we are also unclear, suddenly, the coordinates and resource information for Azure Star are all prepared, and Ersha's blockade is rapidly dissipating."
The envoy from the Galaxy was also bewildered, having no clue what happened.
"Snap!"
The chairman of the Velazquez Group, resting his chin with a sullen expression, said:
"Who told me that Azure Star's issue with Ersha was unsolvable? So much high-definition information has been put directly onto the interstellar auction site, our previous business plans have all gone down the drain."
"... Dad, we haven't lost yet."
Redd Gold's Blesser—Andrew Velazquez quickly flipped through the documents, squinted, and said:
"This planet has only auctioned ownership; mineral resources, population, colonization, development, and educational industries have not yet been surrendered. We still have a chance."
"Son, you don't understand."
The chairman of Velazquez shook his head:
"Azure Star's location is too sensitive; industrial development is insufficient to bring enough dividends. Our original plan was to use Azure Star as a frontline outpost for war. The Maxwell Consortium will inevitably engage Azure Star in war—in due time, we would provide security and war-related services, which is where the real profit lies..."
"That may not necessarily be the case."
Andrew smiled slightly:
"If nothing goes wrong, the auction is likely to end up in the hands of our old acquaintance."
He glanced at the AI-organized data results and said meaningfully:
"Isn't that right, Leoz."
"Lord Entropy, is finally about to awaken?"
The Temple held a long-overdue meeting. A High-Rank Hermit pondered deeply for a moment and made a decision:
"Temporarily abandon the Maxwell Consortium; the Empire should also be very surprised at this auction. For now, our focus will remain on the soundless communication breakdown and the Eye of the Galaxy."
..................
Putting one's Mother Star up for auction is not some flashy maneuver; such things happen often in the cosmos.
The criteria for civilization in Layer Abyss are simple: if you can rely on your own technology and ability to progress outward, you are a basic civilization; otherwise, you are an uncivilized wild animal.
Therefore, it often happens that a strong individual, after obtaining Cosmic Citizen status, chooses to cooperate with the Layer Abyss Development Company to auction their Mother Star quickly, securing control over it.
Layer Abyss recognizes individuals, not civilizations; you are an Alien, you have human rights.
The Invincible True General collected a massive amount of data along the way, enough to complete the basic auction registration.
—Faced with Lord Entropy, as long as the Red Arrow persists in revenge, the Azure Star People cannot unite as one.
Lord Entropy knows that good words cannot awaken the Red Arrow People.
Li Aozi knew this too.
Therefore, this requires a little bit of stimulation.
"Done."
Li Aozi smiled slightly and said:
"From now on, Azure Star officially becomes my property."
On the ground, the Invincible True General slowly raised the contract in his hand:
"The Layer Abyss Development Exploration Company has completed the signing, and the collateral transfer is complete."
"The Interstellar Alliance has agreed to formally hand over dominion over Azure Star, under the Fairy System, to Leoz Dominet. Congratulations on becoming the owner of this planet."
"Anyone who does not come out to protect my private property, Leoz Dominet, will initiate the purification pact to restore and purify the ground."
From now on, the Baizhu Fleet has fully acquired garrison rights.
Either unite to face Lord Entropy together, or be purified by Leoz now.
"Baizhu Fleet, initiate Plan B."
As Nephis raised a hand, the entire Baizhu Fleet instantly fold-jumped, appearing directly over the Red Arrow Empire:
"The purification order has been signed. You mortals must immediately cease all actions to protect the sacred private property of Leoz Your Excellency!"
Nephis displayed a cruel smile, making a scissor gesture that seemed enough to kill a humpback whale:
"Otherwise, I'll kill you all!"
The aura of the Yita Phase (7) exploded unreservedly, along with the overwhelming presence of the Baizhu Fleet, intimidating all citizens of the Empire.
