Chapter 851: The Interstellar Calendar (29)
May, Interstellar Calendar Year 4727.
Unlucky Starzone and Hua Xia Starzone were fighting fiercely like a raging fire.
Unlucky Starzone suddenly sent a file to the surrounding starzones enclosed with an image at the bottom.
The content of the file could be roughly translated as: They would either listen to the Unlucky Starzone in the future, or annihilate the universe and become history.
Most starzones turned up their noses at the content so far.
The Unlucky Starzone was not powerful enough to make so many of them yield.
But when they slid down to the bottom and saw the image, everyone started to freak out.
When the Unlucky Starzone just started a war against Hua Xia Starzone, they heard that the former was using illegal weapons.
But they didn’t expect that they were using those which were used in the sixth universe war…
Were they trying to fly to heaven!?
In order to demonstrate that they did have such weapons, Curly Hair chose a desolate star for a live broadcast.
The scene of the desolate star falling apart and dissipating in the universe made all other starzones tremble.
The condition Ming Shu proposed was not harsh, though. As long as they agreed with Unlucky Starzone’s dominant position in the future, they would be fine.
Each starzone’s political affairs were still in their own charge, but each year they had to pay a certain amount of snacks… no, the interstellar tax.
For thousands of years, each starzone in the interstellar world had been doing things in their own way, and there had never been a case where one starzone took the lead.
They believed it was shameful for Ming Shu to do so, but in light of the weapons, those starzones that didn’t have much power and agreed one after another.
Originally it was difficult to offend the Unlucky Starzone which owned Technology City, now they even had such illegal weapons, how could they offend them?
Those powerful starzones were still watching. Perhaps they just felt unconvinced to surrender, so finally they decided to stand together and attack Unlucky Starzone.
Luo Yan also offered to ally with them at a proper time and so the alliance was established.
The army regrouped and the troops were dozens of times the number of the Unlucky Starzone’s.
If they couldn’t win the war even in this way, it wouldn’t be necessary to fight again.
–
As the war went on, these people felt something seemed not right. The other side’s battleships seemed to lessen.
It was not obvious what was missing, but those who went to strike down the battleships everyday could observe that.
Crash?
Not possible. They recorded every battleship crashed for their enemy.
“Where are those battleships?” some people roared.
“The battlefield was chaotic and no one noticed that…”
Everyone looked at each other with fear. They couldn’t find those missing battleships, so they could only be careful and avoid being ambushed suddenly.
But a month later, there was nothing wrong on the battlefield.
Until one day—
Ming Shu suddenly connected to all the others. Although they didn’t know what Ming Shu wanted to do, their holographic projection still appeared in the meeting room.
They looked around and found no one from the Hua Xia Starzone was present.
As Ming Shu’s spokesman, Curly Hair made a well-mannered greeting.
“What are you doing?”
“Take it easy, everyone, I’m here to invite you all to watch a movie we’ve prepared for you.” Curly Hair spoke very slowly, but it sounded a little annoying at this time. “I hope you enjoy it.”
Movie?
Watch what movie at this time?
Ming Shu sat next to Curly Hair, nibbling a nutrient stick and smiling. “So much nonsense, let’s just get started. Hurry up, I want to eat some meat.”
Curly Hair twitched his mouth corners, then raised his hand. Countless screens appeared in the middle.
Each screen was facing a star planet.
The stars varied in color.
The people present became restless as they saw their own main stars appear. “What do you want to do?”
“Please calm down, General. Everyone, please read the document I sent to you carefully. If you sign on it, we’ll retreat; if you don’t sign, we won’t withdraw. Then you will say goodbye to your main stars. I’m really sorry, but you only have ten minutes to make a decision.”
As soon as Curly Hair finished the sentence, a document appeared before everyone.
The contents were exactly the same as the former one.
An ownership document was attached to the back. If they signed it, they would agree that their whole starzones would be under the jurisdiction of Unlucky Starzone.
“Bullshit!” Someone was pissed off. “Who knows what you’re scheming, don’t get cheated by them, everyone!”
In the middle of the countless screens was a countdown.
Ming Shu said slowly, “Communications are not blocked. Contact your main stars and let them see, our battleships will deactivate the invisibility device in the next minute.”
Ming Shu spoke so calmly and casually. Someone reacted first and contacted the main star.
He asked them to observe the sky above the main star.
The men on the other side were obviously confused by the sudden appearance of the battleship and asked if they needed to attack.
When they looked again, however, the battleship had wiped its trail and they couldn’t find any trace of its presence.
“You…”
Those missing battleships had all moved to their main stars?
Ming Shu blinked her eyes and asked innocently, “What’s up?”
“Shameless!”
“Contemptible!”
Ming Shu smiled happily. “It doesn’t matter if it’s sloppy, as long as it works.”
Screw your sloppy.
You call that sloppy?
Shameless!
“Five minutes,” Curly Hair reminded them kindly. “You have four minutes to report to your zone leaders and one minute to sign.”
The atmosphere in the meeting room became a little eerie.
Everyone stared at the documents in front of them for another minute.
Who lived on the main star?
The zone leader, important officials of all kinds, wealthy and powerful families in the starzone, and their families and relatives.
If the main star was gone…
Finally some people began to contact their main stars and repeated what was happening in the most concise words, waiting for their reply.
Suddenly hearing such a message, all the zone leaders were a little dumbfounded.
Right now they had a battleship over their heads loaded with weapons that could blow up the whole planet…
They only had two minutes left…
What if they were lying to them?
But what if it was true?
Countdown 10…
9…
8…
…
The timer reached zero.
Rumble—
Explosion sounds suddenly came out of the screen. As if having been affected by the energy, even the screen shook.
Did she really… blow the main star?
The zone leaders who were still hesitating immediately told the people at present to sign.
All the people present then signed their names with a black face, and sent the documents back to the main star for the zone leaders to sign, then the documents were sent back to Ming Shu.
“That’s right, you should have done it earlier.” Ming Shu stood up. “Tomorrow morning, I hope you’re not here anymore.”
“When will you withdraw the battleships!” someone asked.
“Well… It depends on whether you really cooperate or not.” Ming Shu tilted her head. “I have to make sure, right?”
Then Ming Shu left with Curly Hair.
After the two were gone, the meeting room was silent for a long time.
“Which starzone did she just blow?” someone suddenly asked.
No one replied.
Everyone looked at the screen and found their own main stars.
Except for their main stars, there were actually several other stars.
“These… seem to be desolate stars,” someone said hesitantly, and then roared, “She played us!”
From the moment they came in, she didn’t talk any nonsense and just cut to the chase, not giving them a chance to think and observe carefully.
But the battleships were indeed above their main stars, and if they hadn’t signed, she might have blown them up.
