On the duel stage, the blue light lights up.

"Blue won?!"

The onlookers were stunned.

According to common sense, the blue side should lose at this moment, and then the guy named Zhao Yu became angry and cursed Li Weibo as a liar?!

"How is this possible?!"

Many people were shocked because they did not expect this result.

Did I lose?

Li Weibo had not yet gotten over the fact that he had lost the game until he appeared on the duel stage.

The whole person seemed to be sluggish.

After others saw it, they were immediately confused.

"Could it be that Li Weibo didn't act with Wang Futu and he really got into it?!"

"The truth is here. It seems that this person named Zhao Yu really missed it..."

People looked at Zhao Yu standing aside, their eyes filled with envy.

At the same time, several people were beating their chests and wanting to slap themselves in the face, feeling that they had missed three million because of being smart.

"Li Weibo, you lost again, why don't you play with three million?!" Someone was unwilling to give up and asked in Li Weibo's ear.

Li Weibo suddenly came back to his senses and felt that others were mocking him, as if they were laughing at him. How dare you fish with such strength?!

Li Weibo was immediately ashamed and annoyed. His face felt hot, and he quickly left the scene without saying a word.

Seeing his reaction, everyone believed their own judgment even more, that is, Li Weibo did not act with Wang Futu, but really got into it, and he was picked up!

"Brother, you are so lucky, you just made three million..."

When someone saw Li Weibo running away, they turned their attention to Zhao Yu and said excitedly: "How about we also play a game?!"

Zhao Yu glanced at him and said: "A handful of ten million, are you coming?!"

The man's breath was stagnant, and he said: "One thousand is fine, ten million is enough, I can't afford it..."

After getting rid of these flies, Zhao Yu also left the duel stage.

That day, the news about their gambling fight was reported on Earl’s Island.

People are saying that there is a lucky man named Zhao Yu who accidentally picked up three million.

After leaving the duel stage, Zhao Yu started ranking directly. He had 2.7 million dark matter in his hand. Looking at the 100 tickets this time, he felt that it didn't matter.

Zhao Yu tried to play a few games and found that the opponent he matched was not as strong as Li Weibo, so he won easily.

Ranking system, you can’t see the rankings yet, but you can see your own ranking.

Zhao Yu played six sets, had six points, and ranked around 50,000.

It seems that there are still a lot of people playing ranked these days.

Just when he was about to continue fighting, the empire suddenly sent someone to find him.

When I got to the place, I realized that he was not alone, there were more than ten people in the hall.

When they found Zhao Yu coming in, after seeing his name clearly, several people started talking in low voices.

"This is the Zhao Yu, the one who was lucky enough to win three million dark matter..."

"Tsk, tsk, this is such a good life..."

After Zhao Yu heard this, he didn't intend to refute. He wished that someone really wanted to have another game of gambling with him.

Not long after entering the house, someone from the empire walked in and announced directly: "In recent days, many people have reported that they have been attacked by safari civilization and asked for help from the empire..."

"The empire's energy is all about saving the universe, and there really is no time to deal with these small things..."

"So, after research, the empire decided to carry out coordinated defense based on the region..."

"The specific method is for the kingdom to send troops to help the duchy to garrison to a certain extent, the duchy will help the princes to garrison, and the princes will help the lords to garrison..."

"All of you here are the Lords of the third spiral arm of the Milky Way..."

"So, according to the division, the Tomah Kingdom, which is also in the same star field, will be garrisoned..."

Garrison?!

Everyone looked at each other, a little confused, not knowing whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for them.

After hearing this, Zhao Yu frowned and said: "The technology level of those who can hunt in the universe has exceeded level two. Is the Hou State capable of defense?!"

"Don't worry, you guys. If the princes can't do things, there are principalities above them. If the principalities are not good enough, there are kingdoms. If the kingdoms are not good enough, the empire will also take action..."

After listening to a circle of explanations, Zhao Yu finally understood what the empire meant.

They did not want to bear the cost of maintaining order in the empire, so they delegated this power to various kingdoms and principalities.

For example, in the star field where he is located, there are about a dozen zero-level civilization territories, all of which are under the control of the Tuoma Kingdom.

And a larger range of princely states, including Tuoma Kingdom, are under the control of a certain principality.

The only thing that surprised Zhao Yu was that the kingdom in their area that was responsible for managing a lot of principalities, princes, and territories was the Mo Dou Kingdom, which had been involved in a war before.

"Well, Sir Envoy, if the Toma Kingdom causes chaos, we don't seem to have the power to resist..."

"Don't worry about this. The Empire is here and we won't let them mess around. The Empire's laws are not for show. Although many bills are still under discussion, this kind of thing will definitely not happen..."

Everyone present was a little melancholy. When the empire was in charge before, the only thing they valued was dark matter. They neither asked them for other things nor interfered with internal governance.

But now, if there is another Hou Guo in charge, there may be problems.

……

Prince's Island.

Du Bing held a star map, his face full of excitement. On it, the geographical locations of more than a thousand civilizations were marked.

This is exactly the principality, princely state and territory that the empire entrusted to him to help manage the garrison.

"Thank you for the empire's trust. Du Bing will definitely fulfill his mission and manage this star field on behalf of the empire..."

Unlike the Earl's Island, where it was just a staff handover, on the prince's side, every imperial official with sufficient weight communicated personally to ensure that the entire mechanism could run smoothly.

"Well, we have seen your loyalty, but you can't just say it, you have to actually do it..."

"You have to remember the two most important points. One is to ensure that all countries and territories turn over no less dark matter every year..."

"The second is to ensure that the population of each country and territory cannot be reduced, and to encourage population development as much as possible..."

The envoy thought for a moment and then added: "In addition, the empire will give you some appropriate rewards based on the management of your more than one hundred kingdoms within a year..."

Du Bing's eyes lit up. The things that could be rewarded by the empire were definitely things they didn't have, so they had to win them.

After thinking for a while, he asked: "I wonder what this assessment is based on?!"

"The first is dark matter. How much additional dark matter can your kingdom, including all the principalities, princes, and territories under its administration, contribute if the full amount is turned over..."

"The second is population. What is the growth rate of all the population under your kingdom compared with the previous year..."

"Of course, the criteria for judging these data are naturally based on comparisons between kingdoms. Whoever does well will be rewarded by the empire..."

Du Bing nodded quickly and made up his mind. After returning, he would ask the people in the think tank to think about how to allow the more than a thousand civilizations below to vigorously develop their population and produce additional dark matter.

After the imperial envoy left, Du Bing began to look at the star map, planning to write down the locations of these civilizations and send people there after he returned.

Soon, he browsed through the situation of the principalities and princes. When he saw a certain territory, he was suddenly stunned.

"Solar System Territory?"

Du Bing frowned, remembering what Dugo said about the solar system, "Are these two places the same place?!"

He carefully checked the star map, and after careful recall, he found that the solar system recorded on the star map was exactly the place where his son Dugo led the whale army.

"How is this possible? The solar system civilization is a third-level civilization?!"

Du Bing was shocked. He didn't expect that the empire actually counted the civilization of the solar system as a zero-level civilization?!

"What do you mean, the empire didn't discover them?"

"No, the empire is divided into levels based on population. Under normal circumstances, only with a large enough population can high enough civilization and technology be born..."

"The civilization of the solar system has a population of only 8.5 billion. It is obviously impossible for a third-level civilization to be born, and even a first-level civilization is impossible..."

After Du Bing thought for a moment, he came to two conclusions.

"In one case, there is a safari fleet of a third-level civilization hidden around the solar system civilization, but the number is not large. This is also the reason why it was able to deal with the big whale before..."

"The second situation is that the solar system civilization is occupied by an alien third-level safari civilization, which leads to a small population..."

No matter what the situation is, the essence of the opponent being a third-level civilization has not changed. Even if the technology tree is incomplete, there should still be many complete weapons.

Du Bing thought for a while and then quickly burst into laughter, "It's just a wandering third-level civilization. Under the rule of the empire, it can't change the world..."

Managing the solar system is a power granted by the empire. If the third-level civilization is dissatisfied, it can naturally go to the empire to complain.
