Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

Chapter 604 Space Pirates (42)

Che Ziqin remained silent, continuing to stand at the door. He would keep the matter of assassinating the emperor a secret for as long as possible.

For the next few days, there was no news from the central planet.

The news of the emperor's death seemed to have been concealed, and then the second prince, Morong, who was close to the Alliance Party, came to power and began sweeping reforms, promoting the Alliance Party's status.

Che Ziqin breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart quickly tightened again.

The royal family hasn't made a move yet, who knows what big move they're planning.

Chen Wenxiao left halfway but then returned, continuing to settle on Alberk, where he spent his days researching parts, assembling mechs, and teaching apprentices with Xiong Bufan.

It seems that it wasn't him who wanted to leave at first, but his twin brother.

Xiong Bufan was unaware of his departure and treated him as usual.

Che Ziqin admired Chen Wenxiao quite a bit; his quick wit and shamelessness were something he could learn from for a long time.

Once Che Ziqin leaves a place, he will never set foot there again unless he is seeking revenge.

Rosie continued with her usual work, never considering leaving Albuquerque. To her, this was her home; the central planet no longer had a place for her.

Regardless of who comes to power, Albuquerque is a highly coveted prize for them.

Mo Rong wasn't as shameless as Mo Hua, but he wasn't much better. He started meeting with Che Ziqin.

Because Cha Ji-chin had previously tried to curry favor with the Alliance Party, they now have no choice but to meet again.

Albuquerque belongs to Xiong Bufan; Che Ziqin has no say in it, nor can he make such a decision.

Moreover, the reason for currying favor with the Alliance Party in the first place was to develop Albuquerque. Now that they are asking for Albuquerque to be handed over, Che Ziqin absolutely disagrees.

When Che Ziqin couldn't make a decision, he asked Xiong Bufan, "Bufan, they want to take over Alberk."

"Oh, let them bid. The starting price is 100 million star coins."

Che Ziqin thought he had misheard, but seeing Xiong Bufan's serious expression, he asked, "Bufan, are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious. We'll just wait until they take the picture and then not give them the planet, right?"

This is Lao Tzu's home, Lao Tzu's planet. Letting them bid is giving them a chance.

Xiong Bufan's statement can be described as extremely unreasonable.

Che Ziqin was somewhat tempted. "What if they attack us?"

Xiong Bufan said confidently, "We'll just say that the other side is blocking the sale of Alberk. If the two sides collude and attack us, we'll open the shield."

Each planet has its own protective shield. The protective shield of Albuquerque was developed by Che Ziqin, Xiong Bufan, and Chen Wenxiao together, and they also used Xiong Bufan's previous formation.

Xiong Bufan was confident that no one could force their way into Alberk.

Che Ziqin was somewhat persuaded. "Will this work?"

"Sure, once they start fighting, I can sell them armor."

Xiong Bufan's actions were a bit unethical, but they were also a good method.

Che Ziqin fell silent. He felt that he had always been too kind, especially compared to Xiong Bufan.

However, war is not friendly to the people of the Empire. They had finally managed to escape the Zerg invasion, and now they were fighting each other again. Isn't that ridiculous?

He would rather be a coward than allow himself to stir up conflict between the royalists and the alliance.

Xiong Bufan: "What do you think of my idea?"

Che Ziqin: "I'll think about it some more. You should focus on studying the mecha."

Fortunately, Xiong Bufan didn't become a politician, otherwise a large number of people would have died.

Kongkong: Now that I've learned how to use a mecha, its destructive power seems quite strong, but it's unlikely to kill a large number of people.

Che Ziqin left after a while, while Xiong Bufan continued to study the small parts in his hand.

After studying for a while, it was almost time for Xiong Bufan to leave.

Regardless of whether Albuquerque provoked them or not, the Royalists and the Alliance had long harbored resentment and eventually went to war, with the main battlefield being a planet once ravaged by the Zerg.

Che Ziqin could only sigh repeatedly. He then activated the protective shield to prevent outsiders from entering Alberk without authorization.

They do not participate in the war, nor do they sell anything to either side.

In Che Ziqin's view, war is a man-made disaster that only brings casualties and pain, causing suffering to ordinary people.

If the mechs from Albuquerque were also deployed to the battlefield, then ordinary people would also have to go to the battlefield and fight.

The Empire has very few people with mental strength above B-level, and even fewer who can pilot mechs.

Che Ziqin watched the news on his personal computer. There were casualties every day, the youngest being only ten years old. All Che Ziqin could do was cry out that it was a tragedy. He could only lead his men to continuously reinforce the protective shield of Albuquerque to resist the attacks of the two parties' armies and completely cut off their thoughts of seizing Albuquerque.

In less than three years, all the talents with B-level mental strength or above were exhausted, and there were no ordinary mechs available on the battlefield.

Both the royalists and the allies wanted to buy the armor to use on the battlefield in their conflict, but Che Ziqin refused to budge. Xiong Bufan robbed the envoy sent to buy it and threw him out of Alberk.

Xiong Bufan's actions thoroughly enraged both parties, who decided to suspend the war and begin to work together to deal with Albuquerque. After Albuquerque was captured, they would divide the spoils.

Unfortunately, they were no match for Albuquerque, where everyone was a soldier, and they could only slink away when they realized they couldn't win.

The war brought nothing but disaster, and the power of both parties was correspondingly weakened.

The royalists and the alliance parties can no longer afford to fight, unless they go to the battlefield and play rock-paper-scissors, without using mechs or supplies.

When neither side can gain the upper hand, the two parties naturally cease hostilities.

The humans had just reached a truce when the Zerg launched a renewed offensive, seemingly with overwhelming force.

Most of the heroes who fought against the Zerg are gone. The Alliance and the Royalists have once again turned to Alberk, hoping to be provided with mechs free of charge so that they can fight the Zerg together.

Building mechs requires parts, and it's impossible to do it for free. Che Ziqin could only ask them to provide raw materials and parts.

Another decade has passed, and there have been hundreds of battles, large and small, between the Terrans and the Zerg, but the Terrans have emerged victorious in the end.

The Zerg were banished to a distant galaxy, with no possibility of a comeback.

After two wars, the royalists and the alliance parties calmed down and signed a century-long peace treaty to jointly develop the empire.

Xiong Bufan was fed up with the unchanging nutrient solution in the interstellar space. She didn't even want to eat anymore, and only when she was about to starve to death would she pour a bottle of nutrient solution into her mouth.

Kongkong never expected that an interstellar world could actually cure Xiong Bufan's habit of overeating, so that he knows to eat when he is hungry and will not overeat normally.
