Blue light lit up on the arena.
” Blue side won?!”
Everyone was shocked by the result.
By all mean, should not that guy called Zhao Yu be angry and curse Li Wei Bo for cheating?!
“How is this possible?!”
Many never expecting this outcome.
Did I lose?
Until Li Wei Bo appeared on the stage, he still could not grasp the fact that he lost.
He seemed to be in a daze.
When the others saw this, they started to wonder.
“Could it be that Li Wei Bo didn’t put on an act with w.a.n.g Fu Tu?!”
“The truth is in front of us. It seems Zhao Yu really got a lucky this time…”
People looked at Zhao Yu with envy.
Meanwhile, several others slapped their chests in regret, wishing they could slap themselves for being too smart and missing out on three million.
“Li Wei Bo, you lost again. Want to play for three million?” someone teased, whispering in his ear.
Li Wei Bo snapped back, feeling ridiculed. They seemed to be mocking him even daring him to match.
Embarra.s.sed and angered, he left without a word.
People believed even more that Li Wei Bo was not pretending but was truly overconfident and gave away an opportunity.
“Man, you’re so lucky, making three million just like that…”
With Li Wei Bo gone, someone cheerfully approached Zhao Yu, “How about a game between us?”
Zhao Yu glanced at him, “Ten million a round, in or out?”
The man hesitated, “One thousand a round is fine, but ten million… too rich for my blood.”
After shooing away the persistent people, Zhao Yu left the duel platform.
That day, word spread across Count’s Island about the bet.
People talked about a lucky guy named Zhao Yu who won three million.
After leaving the duel platform, Zhao Yu started ranking with 2.7 million dark matter in hand. Now, the 100-ticket fee seemed trivial.
After playing a few rounds, Zhao Yu realized the opponents he matched with were weaker than Li Wei Bo, easily defeating them.
In the ranking system, he couldn’t see the leaderboard but his own rank.
After six rounds, scoring six points, Zhao Yu was ranked around 50,000.
It seemed many people were playing the ranking games.
Just as he was about to continue, someone from the Empire suddenly came looking for him.
When he arrived at the place, Zhao Yu realized he was not the only one. There were over ten people in the hall.
Upon spotting Zhao Yu and recognizing his name, several people started whispering amongst themselves.
“That’s the Zhao Yu, the lucky one who won three million dark matter…”
“Wow!”
Zhao Yu overheard it, but he did not bother responding. He hoped someone would challenge him to another bet.
A representative from the Empire walked in and announced, “Recently, we received many reports about the attacks from the nomadic civilizations and request for the Empire’s help…”
“The Empire’s attention is on saving the universe, and we cannot address these minor issues…”
“After discussion, the Empire has decided to coordinate defenses according to regions…”
“The specific method is sending troops to help the Dukedom defend to a certain extent. The Dukedom will help the various Marquisate defend, and the marquisate will help the Lord defend…”
“All of you here are lords in the third spiral arm of the Milky Way…”
“Therefore, by division, the Marquisate Toma, which is in the same star region, will be responsible for your defense.”
Defense?!
The attendees looked at each other, confused about whether this was good or bad news.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu frowned and said, “Any civilization that can hunt in the universe must have at least a level two technology. Can the Marquisate even defend against them?”
“Don’t worry. If the Marquisate can’t handle it, the Dukedom above them will. If they fail, there’s the kingdom, and if they can’t manage, the Empire will step
in…”
After listening to the explanation, Zhao Yu finally understood what the Empire intention.
They did not want to bear the cost of maintaining the order of the Empire, so they delegated this power to the various Kingdoms and Dukedoms.
For example, the region he was in had more than ten level zero civilization territories that were under the jurisdiction of the Toma Marquisate.
All the Marquisate, including the Toma Marquisate., were under the jurisdiction of a certain Dukedoms.
What surprised Zhao Yu was that their region, overseeing numerous Dukedom, Marquisate, and Lord’s territories, was the Modou Kingdom, with whom he had a past conflict.
“Excuse me, Emissary, if the Marquisate Toma misbehaves, it seems we don’t have the power to resist…”
“Don’t worry. With the Empire here, they won’t cause trouble. Imperial laws are not for show. Many laws are still under discussion, but such issues will definitely not occur…”
Those present felt uneasy. When the Empire was in charge, the only thing they valued was dark matter, not interfering in internal governance.
Now, with a Marquisate in charge, problems could arise..
