Chapter 252 245 Career Intentions
Bai Zhongqi stirred up trouble on Bupinga Star and managed to bring back over four thousand people. The whole Battleship Cruiser was getting somewhat packed, and with the crew from the self-destroyed Richelieu that had already arrived, the Sacred Falcon was quite lively.
Bai Zhongqi was seriously assessing the manpower resources at hand.
"Bupinga's mercenaries, all with extensive experience in space travel, are temporarily enlisted in the crew of the Sacred Falcon. After returning to Earth, we can deploy them to different vessels; the Dwarf Goblins are few in number, they used to be miners in the Teizene civilization, and it seems that they can also engage in group land battles, but we'll still have to consider how to use them; as for the Horse-faced people, their intelligence is actually quite high, so perhaps they can be developed in the field of cultural education; the Gao Tian people have a knack for craftsmanship, which could perhaps be utilized in the manufacturing industry; hmm, the Feiju people..."
Here, Bai Zhongqi paused for a moment, as he was also unsure.
Ling chimed in teasingly, "Why not debut a Cat Girl idol group."
Bai Zhongqi covered his face, "Don't interrupt."
Han Jiaxue smiled and said, "Why not ask for their opinions?"
Following that, Bai Zhongqi actually sent out a questionnaire to the Feiju people, looking just like some freshly graduated college students filling out future career plans.
Lingling and Hetao, perched lazily in their bunk bed, refusing to leave the soft bedding, looked at the survey that popped up on their tablet that looked like a sheet of glass, and both were somewhat perplexed.
Lingling slept on the top bunk and leaned out to look down at Hetao on the bottom bunk, asking, "Hetao, Hetao, does that handsome Chancellor really want us to choose our own jobs?"
Hetao, holding the tablet with a delicate and fair face full of confusion, replied, "Probably, after all, he said we're no longer slaves. As free people, we should be able to choose our own jobs, right?"
Lingling's smile blossomed, "That's amazing, Lingling is going to work too. Hetao, you already had a job when you were captured from your mother planet by the Teizene, right?"
Hetao nodded, "Yes, I worked part-time at a flower shop for Banana Aunt on the street corner, but Banana Aunt is no longer around..."
The face of the elder sister-like cat girl was tinged with sadness. The Teizene often visited Feiju Star, casually capturing locals as their food, and many people she knew were not spared.@@novelbin@@
"Hetao, don't be sad, we won't have to live in fear anymore."
Hetao lay on the bed, her black hair cascading down on the white sheets, her chest area, quite considerable and indescribable, pressed flat on the bed, seemingly lost in thought.
"Lingling, the Chancellor mentioned that his civilization was preparing for war with the Teizene people, didn't he?" Hetao suddenly asked.
Lingling cocked her head, "It seems he did say something like that."
Walnut lowered her head, lightly tapped the screen with her fingertip, selected a profession, and wrote a paragraph underneath in the Feiju language.
"I'm going to join the military, I want to avenge Banana Aunt and them."
Lingling covered her little mouth in shock, jumping down directly from the top bunk. Although the top bunk wasn't too low, the people of Feiju possessed an extraordinarily good sense of balance and motor skills, somewhat similar to cats in that aspect.
"Walnut, have you lost your mind? War means you could die!"
At this moment, Walnut was already remarkably determined. She looked at Lingling and said, "There are probably kind civilizations in the Galaxy, just like the Earthlings. If the Teizene really attack Earth, then the people there might suffer just like everyone on our mother star. As you said, that Chancellor should be a good person. If one day Earth counterattacks Teizene, we might be able to liberate our mother star, let everyone be free from the fear of being eaten, and enable them to choose their own lives."
Lingling listened to Walnut's words and looked at her normally gentle big sister become so resolute at this moment, feeling somewhat touched in her heart. Lingling picked up her tablet and selected the same option as well.
Walnut was shocked: "Lingling, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to join the military too, to become a warrior who fights those evil Teizene lizards just like Walnut."
Walnut wanted to say something to stop her, but remembering her own action, she knew that any persuasion would be powerless. She could only smile contently, hugged Lingling, and said, "Alright, let's go together then."
In a short period of time, Bai Zhongqi received feedback from the majority of the Feiju people, and what surprised him was that around forty percent of them had actually chosen to join the military, expressing their hope to join the forces of the Star Alliance, with many writing in the comments section their desire for the Star Alliance to defeat Teizene and liberate their kinfolk.
Zero sat beside Bai Zhongqi with one leg over the other, also looking at the information on the smart device, and said, "These cat ladies are quite righteous and indignant. Most of them have an education level comparable to Earthlings, just with a slightly broader universe perspective. Physically, they are stronger than Earthlings who haven't undergone Genetic Advantage Liberation and weaker than the Iridium Star people, but they are very flexible."
Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire
Bai Zhongqi touched his beardless chin and looked up, saying, "Training them wouldn't be much different from training ordinary people on Earth. Let's proceed with that."
Zero uncrossed her shapely legs and placed them together, tilted slightly, like a perfect pair of artworks, and looked at Bai Zhongqi, "Your Highness, I have some doubts about your intentions, pardon my boldness. You're developing a group of slaves into ordinary citizens of the Star Alliance, allowing them to become workers, service staff, and even warriors. Behind these actions must be your Madonna-like values, I suppose."
Bai Zhongqi couldn't help but chuckle, "Why would you think that?"
Zero said, "From what we've observed, most civilizations in the Galaxy, even the ones that are relatively orderly and kind, still harbor racial discrimination. This mindset, while alienating and exploiting the value of other races, also unites and boosts the pride of their own race. For most civilizations, this is quite effective. Yet, it seems you've taken the concept of equality from Earth and are preparing to make it the core value of the Star Alliance. Maybe you advocate equality personally, but would the other people on Earth view these seemingly strange races as equals?"
Bai Zhongqi smiled lightly, but his expression contained earnestness, "Equality in an absolute sense does not exist. The difference in strength means that no two beings are absolutely equal. Even within the Star Alliance, no one is quite on the same level as me. No matter how the Star Alliance develops, it will still primarily grow from a branch of the Primate Clan, originating from the Iridium Star-Earth races. But, just as the Iridium Star does in the First Universe, we will continuously absorb beneficial forces into our Empire. At least within our realm, every person will have relative fair opportunities for development, thereby creating more splendid civilization achievements."
He stood up, with his Chancellor's attire crisp and precise, his whole demeanor exuding confidence, "Right now, we are just getting started."
What do you think?
