12: Blue Star Management Department

However, because it was just a moment of daze, no one paid attention to it, including the Decision Makers of various Blue Star countries in the conference room, who also didn't notice any abnormalities.

"Target planet control complete..."

The moment the Star Controller perfectly completed its mission, Li Yang's system promptly issued a reminder.

"The Star Controller you launched has now completed comprehensive control over the target planet."

As soon as the system finished speaking, a light screen appeared out of thin air in front of Li Yang without any warning.

Looking at the dense text on the light screen, Li Yang was once again deeply shocked by this miraculous Star Controller.

Various data on it could be changed at will, such as altering Blue Star's atmospheric pressure, clearing all life on the planet, moving tectonic plates, raising sea levels, and so on. In short, Li Yang was like an omnipotent God at this moment, able to change and control everything on Blue Star as he pleased.

Even more, he also saw two special functions: one was "destroy," and the other was "contain." The destroy function was simple to understand, but as for contain... could it be that it could...

"That's right, for a planet successfully controlled by the Star Controller, after activating the contain function, the entire Blue Star, including all life on it, will be incorporated into the Star Controller's special space. The entire planet can be contained within a palm-sized glass sphere, making it convenient for movement and transportation."

The system also appropriately and timely emerged to answer the doubts that arose in Li Yang's mind.

"...6"

In response, aside from a "6," Li Yang truly didn't know how to express his complex feelings at this moment.

After carefully examining the panel in front of him, to be honest, there was indeed nothing that needed to be changed, as the current situation was already quite good.

"Oh, right, System, I've already used the Star Controller, so why hasn't the mission regarding Blue Star been completed yet?"

He had clearly become the "God" of Blue Star, so why hadn't the mission prompted completion? It couldn't possibly have been forgotten, could it...

"Beep... Detecting that the intelligent life on Blue Star has not yet submitted to the Empire, so the mission has not been completed. Alternatively, if all intelligent life on Blue Star is cleared, the mission can also be completed."

Alright, it seems no matter what, he had to go to Blue Star again...

Inside the Blue Star conference room, Li Yang, Pal, and the accompanying T7 appeared out of thin air in the blink of an eye.

The originally noisy and boisterous crowd instantly quieted down, quickly rising from their seats.

"Oh my god, how did they appear? It was clearly empty a moment ago..."

"Who knows what kind of alien technology this is? Last time, when they teleported, there was a white light. Now, they just appear out of thin air like magic without any warning!"

Looking at the crowd staring intently at him, Li Yang remained outwardly calm, without any change in expression, but a different scene played out in his heart.

"Indeed, with the Star Controller, even teleportation has become much more convenient. Truly worthy of a Level 7 civilization!"

Previously, teleportation still required transit through the main ship. Now, with the Star Controller, a transit station is no longer needed at all. Anywhere on the entire Blue Star can be reached instantly.

"Ahem, now that everyone is here, let's begin discussing Blue Star's subsequent arrangements and the specific situations of each country."

Li Yang, sitting in the center seat on the platform, cleared his throat, stating his intention. Pal also sat down next to Li Yang, while T7, like the Imperial Squad, stood upright to await orders.

And only when the crowd saw Li Yang and Pal seated did they slowly sit down. They knew that the upcoming discussion would concern the future of Blue Star and their own destinies.

"Regarding the countries on Blue Star, all will be abolished..."

Upon hearing this, the people present were already mentally prepared and did not raise any objections, as resistance would be futile anyway.

"Everything on Blue Star will completely belong to the Empire, retaining the existing urban planning. As for Blue Star's management... a Blue Star Management Department will be created. All affairs of the entire Blue Star will be managed by the Management Department, and the Management Department will be directly overseen by me."

The main event had arrived. Everyone present was waiting for this sentence. The Blue Star Management Department. If one could enter this department, the power would be far greater than that of their own country's administrators...

Everyone looked at Li Yang with solemn anticipation, especially the Great Elder of Rabbit Country and the Decision Maker of Eagle Country, because both of them knew in their hearts that administrators were just ordinary roles, and the so-called Director of the Blue Star Management Department was what they coveted most.

"As for the Director of the Blue Star Management Department, it will be held by... the Great Elder of Rabbit Country. As for all other subordinate administrators, they will be decided by the Director himself. Do you have any questions?"

Upon hearing that this so-called Director position ultimately fell to the Great Elder of Rabbit Country, the expressions of those present varied.

Especially the Decision Maker of Eagle Country, who had a look of unwillingness, but he didn't dare to openly object, after all, who could blame him when others were more powerful than him...

"I am honored to serve as the Director of the Blue Star Management Department. I will certainly lead the people of Blue Star to make greater contributions to the Empire."

Looking at the overjoyed Great Elder, Li Yang also quickly greeted him.

"Oh, right, since you are serving as the Blue Star Director, what is your name? I will apply for Imperial Citizen status for you."

"Imperial Citizen status... Oh, my name is Xia Quan."

Watching Xia Quan, who was already over fifty, excitedly acting like a child, Li Yang couldn't help but smile.

"Then, Lieutenant Li Yang... what about us?"

The Decision Maker of Eagle Country was still unwilling, standing up to ask.

"Oh, considering that all of you here were Decision Makers of your former countries, you will all be directly incorporated into the Blue Star Management Department. Your positions will be decided by Xia Quan, and you will also possess the status of an Imperial Citizen of the Xili Empire."

Upon hearing this, everyone, including the Decision Maker of Eagle Country, breathed a sigh of relief. Although they didn't become the Director of the Blue Star Management Department, they at least gained the status of a citizen of an alien empire.

"As for other matters, Vice Captain Pal and you will continue to discuss them. I'll leave it to you, Pal. I'll head back first."

"Understood!"

Just now, the system informed him that the mission was complete, and Li Yang's eyes lit up. He immediately prepared to return to the fleet. Anyway, the major issues were basically handled, and the remaining trivial matters could be left to his subordinates...

"System, the mission is complete. What are the rewards?"

As soon as he returned to the Command Center of the fleet, Li Yang eagerly questioned the system.

"Beep, the mission to occupy Blue Star has been completed. Based on Lieutenant Li Yang's outstanding performance, he is specially promoted to Second Lieutenant and is granted ownership of Blue Star."

As soon as the system's words fell, the single silver bar on Li Yang's shoulder instantly turned into two silver bars, officially promoting him to Imperial Second Lieutenant.

Before Li Yang could even get excited, the system's voice came again.

"Beep... Since Blue Star belongs to Lieutenant Li Yang, according to the Xili Empire Human Supremacy Rights Law, for the development of Blue Star, the Empire will subsidize 10 million star coins, and the planet development loan limit will be increased from the original 100 million to 200 million."

"10 million? My Human Supremacy, oh, right, what is this loan limit?"

Li Yang understood the 10 million star coins subsidy; in simple terms, it was a free 10 million. But what was this loan all about?

"The planet development loan is a type of loan provided by the Xili Empire Supreme Bank to individuals who wish to develop planets under their name. Depending on one's identity, the loan amount and interest rates vary."

After listening to the system's explanation, Li Yang understood. This loan was a good thing, after all, Blue Star's current technology was only a little over Level 1, not even reaching Level 2. Developing its economy would definitely require a large investment of funds.

After all, 85% of Blue Star's revenue belonged to him.

"Oh, right, System, how is the interest calculated?"

"Beep... According to the Xili Empire Human Supremacy Rights Law, the interest on planet development loans will be 0 interest, and the repayment period will be 100 years."

"I... go, 200 million limit... a hundred years... 0 interest... Who dares say this Imperial Human Supremacy Rights Law isn't good? This is simply too good!"

Without further ado, Li Yang directly applied for a 200 million limit from the Empire through the system.
