54: Anno, a generous man

"You're too kind, Governor An Nuo. How about this, for the specific migration plan, you can just find Xia Quan. He is the Director of the Blue Star Management Department, and he can take full responsibility for such matters."

Li Yang calmly put the crystal ball into his pocket, a friendly smile gracing his face as he said.

"Alright, I'll trouble you with this then."

Anno hurriedly agreed repeatedly.

After seeing off Anno, Li Yang immediately sent a call to Xia Quan.

"Hello, Governor An Nuo will come to you later to discuss the plan for some Blue Star humans to immigrate to Mars. You can handle it as you see fit..."

"Captain Li Yang, this..."

Xia Quan's tone carried a hint of hesitation.

"Don't worry, I have already agreed to his plan. You just need to be responsible for properly handling the relevant matters of the plan."

"I see, rest assured, Captain, I guarantee to complete the mission successfully!"

Upon hearing that Li Yang had already agreed to the plan, Xia Quan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that he was being asked to find a way to politely dismiss the Governor...

After ending the call with Xia Quan, Li Yang carefully took out the crystal ball again and observed it closely.

"Intelligent Brain, how many star coins does the Empire sell this thing for?"

"Beep... The Star Map Crystal Ball is an item sold for a limited time by the Imperial Bureau of Territory. It contains the location of an ownerless planet. By finding the ownerless planet and reporting it to the Imperial Bureau of Territory, one can obtain ownership of that planet. Its selling price is between 1 million and 2 million star coins. Due to its limited-time sale nature, the current resale price on the market is usually around 3 million to 5 million star coins. The specific price will be determined by the difficulty of the star map."

After listening to the Intelligent Brain's detailed explanation, Li Yang quickly straightened his body and carefully placed the crystal ball gently on the table, as if it were a rare treasure.

"3 million star coins? It seems this Governor An Nuo is no ordinary person..."

After all, someone who can so casually give away something worth 3 million star coins must have an extraordinary identity. Putting other things aside, just this financial power alone is enough to prove he is a wealthy person.

However, upon careful consideration, once the immigration plan is implemented, even if Anno can only obtain 30% of the profits, with the accumulation of time, that would definitely not be a small sum.

Li Yang is currently in extreme need of money. Not to mention the huge loan of 200 million he is already burdened with, just the cost of wanting to purchase new starships to build a larger fleet is simply enormous.

For example, his imperial type i star destroyer, if purchased with star coins from the military, would cost at least tens of millions of star coins, and that's just a Type I. Other models with higher technological levels and better performance would likely be even more expensive.

Not only did Li Yang receive a gift from Anno, but Xia Quan also received one.

While discussing the specifics of the immigration plan with Anno enthusiastically, Anno directly stated that he had already gifted a micro-shuttle to Xia Quan, and it was already docked at the Space Station.

Xia Quan was immediately surprised upon hearing this and quickly sent a message to Li Yang.

"Captain Li Yang, Governor An Nuo suddenly said he gifted me a micro-shuttle, and it's currently docked at the Space Station."

"A micro-shuttle?"

Looking at the message from Xia Quan, Li Yang raised an eyebrow slightly, then quickly brought up the real-time image of the Space Station via the light screen on the table.

He saw a starship, the size of a yacht, clearly docked in the Space Station, and Li Yang was a little surprised.

"This Anno is truly generous, but so is this Xia Quan, reporting even such a small matter to me..."

Although Li Yang spoke about Xia Quan, his opinion of him rose even higher. After all, who wouldn't like a subordinate who reports even receiving gifts in a timely manner?

Immediately, he sent a message back to Xia Quan, stating that if he was willing to accept it, then he should, as it was just a gift and would not violate imperial law.

Upon receiving Li Yang's message, Xia Quan finally let out a long sigh of relief, then quickly put on a smiling face again and continued to engross himself in discussing the immigration plan with Anno...

On the other side, on an alien planet, the Blue Star Troops were advancing like a hot knife through butter, steadily pushing outwards from Twin Mountain City, heading straight for the Magical Beast Empire's royal capital.

And when the King of the Magical Beast Empire received news that the Blue Star Troops were advancing towards his direction, he looked nervous and quickly gathered all the troops in the Empire that could be mobilized, preparing to meet them with full force.

Whether they could win or not was put aside for now; at the very least, they had to delay until the support troops from the other Four Great Empires arrived, otherwise his country would truly face annihilation.

"Officer, our satellite monitoring shows that the other four Empires are urgently gathering their armies, preparing to attack in our direction."

A Soldier rushed in, quickly reporting to Andegu.

"That fast?"

Andegu frowned tightly and quickly walked to the projection map.

Because the Four Great Empires were far apart from each other, their armies gathering would inevitably take a certain amount of time. At this point, it would be best to find a way to disrupt their gathering plan, thereby buying as much time as possible for the operation to attack the Magical Beast Empire's royal capital.

Defeating them one by one was the best plan; they could not be allowed to unite as the Five Great Empires.
