Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1416 - 1381: Shifting Relationships

Compared to Chen Fei beginning to control the media opinion and communication of the "Boundary Pearl" life space, the Slan Dynasty was even more thorough. Except for retaining the financial industry and special communication needs, all civilian free communications were cut off. If needed, they must undergo review and monitoring, with limitations on frequency, traffic, and costs.

The originally seamless communication between Blue Star, "Boundary Pearl" life space, and Cangqiong Star suddenly became distinctly bounded. Meanwhile, a vague tripartite balance was forming, reshaping international equilibrium.

Although the new planetary forces of the "Boundary Pearl" life space are currently weak, with the unconditional "blood transfusion" from the Cangqiong Star Slan Dynasty, and the small but continuous migration of populations from Blue Star, their strength is growing day by day.

The attitude of the Blue Star sovereignties is quietly changing, but the large movement of refugees to Socotra Island has not stopped, and even the related support materials have not reduced.

The first batch of "Stargates" opened to the Cangqiong Star Civilization has already been established, scattered across various locations on the original continent, connecting Cangqiong Star's Morning Star Continent, Cloud Heaven Continent, Mirei Continent, Dao Inference Continent, and Zhai Liuzhou's dense zones of intelligent species. At least over a million intelligent species enter the "Boundary Pearl" life space daily.

The initial continent of the "Boundary Pearl" life space can accommodate up to 10 billion intelligent species population. The Cangqiong Star intelligent species include not only the human race but also larger demon tribes and giant dragons. However, the larger the individual size, the fewer their number, so individual differences do not cause trouble.

As time goes by, the natural disasters on Cangqiong Star are escalating, yet the Slan Dynasty faces everything calmly with an escape route. The guarantee by the Life Tree and the rich biological resource reserves make the food supply in the "Boundary Pearl" life space sufficient and the climate pleasant. Although there will be considerable loss of transferred property, the essential life of the intelligent species is assured, and as long as they survive, everything will move in a positive direction.

The troublemakers did not take the opportunity to rebel or cause chaos. During this special period, the dynasty issued severe laws, stating that anyone committing a criminal offense would have their qualification to pass through the "Stargate" revoked, and of course, being left behind on Cangqiong Star would lead to a certain death. Anyone with a bit of sense would not cause trouble at this crucial moment.

At least half of the planning for the original continent of the "Boundary Pearl" life space was handed over to slime molds. By designing traffic routes and settlements according to their mycelium, enormous human, material, and technical effort could be saved, and the cost was almost negligible – just a hundred or so reusable transparent glass panels and a pot of overcooked rotten meat soup.

The confirmed planning's infrastructure project consumed a large population and simultaneously boosted economic recovery. The simplest economic models began to take effect. Developing infrastructure proved a good policy to revitalize the ruins.

The Cangqiong Star Civilization is integrating into the "Boundary Pearl" life space step by step. The Slan Royalty and the court tacitly acknowledged Chen Fei's power and status as the owner of the life space, and most importantly, his unconditioned veto power.

After all, no one can take the "Boundary Pearl" life space away. Those who have truly seen the "Boundary Pearl" and the "Life Tree" in person are few, and even if one wanted to act, they would have nowhere to start.

"The specially tailored strategic Element Annihilation Bomb against space rifts has been completed. Has the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee not made a decision yet? Their efficiency is too low." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Chen Fei casually put his legs on the desk, lazily leaning back in the chair with a disagreeable demeanor, yet speaking in all seriousness about work topics.

A camera at the desk's corner was live-streaming, occasionally allowing everyone to see his daily work habits—slacking off, lying flat, using threats and inducements, swearing, insulting a monk by calling him a bald thief, and even daring to bully the Metallic Dragons, acting like a complete villain.

The behind-the-scenes ruler persona of the new planet was shattered completely.

It was all intentional!

A rash, crude, hot-tempered young man without any political experience implies a simple mind, leading to judgments (misjudgments) of being unsophisticated and easily influenced or controlled. The encounters faced often lack deep scheming, as dealing with easy people requires no elaborate thoughts, otherwise, it's easy to backfire.

Pretending to be both shrewd and simple-minded, at the same time covering up some genuine lack of experience, was also the character setting devised by Miyoshi Xuesen and Mr. Randon for Chen Fei.

People perceived as diligent, motivated, approachable, wise, and fair are more likely to be targeted, openly or covertly. In times of weakness, it's better to play the fool and learn to endure hardships while biding time, making it more difficult for others to discern one's true capabilities.

At least, Second Brother Chen hasn't needed to resort to eating feces to such an extent (there are indeed many in history).

"The Global United Defense Committee has been meeting for a week non-stop, and it's expected they'll make a final decision by this afternoon,"

Shen Fei had become Chen Fei's secretary-general, leading a team of secretaries provided by The First Sovereign and several assistant workgroups, seamlessly assisting with coordination. At the moment, she was formally reporting on the work, as if not seeing Chen Fei nearly reclining on the desk in his lazy, shameless manner.

Regardless of Shen Fei's personal relationship with Chen Fei or the professional competence honed at the Northern Weapons Industry Group, her secretary-general role was impeccable. The secretary team and assistant team represented The First Sovereign's will, and such tacit understanding was well acknowledged on both sides.

Throughout the land, as long as one is not an exception to the mandatory education by The First Sovereign, this basic principle is understood by all.

"Tell them they must give me a result within an hour, or else they can all drop dead. I could destroy their previous regime, and I can destroy theirs too. Forget it, 'Adam,' deploy the Element Annihilation Bomb, and execute the 'Space Rift Clearance Plan.' I'm tired, let's destroy it already!"

Chen Fei didn't intend to pretend anymore—it was indeed done by him. At this point, kindness is misunderstood as weakness, and playing nice doesn't work.

Endless discussion and pointless research are just seeking a non-existent sense of presence. If anyone disagrees, they should come to the "Boundary Pearl" life space to bite him.

The war power in Chen Xia'er's hands is now no less formidable than dealing with the "Sagali" civilization.

"Is it really okay to convey the message like this?"

Shen Fei looked at her boyfriend speechlessly, it was too simple and crude.

It's more than a threat, it's basically grinding the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee into the ground. Do the sovereignties behind the committee not care about their reputation?

They don't!

To become a politician, the first thing you need is to be shameless.

Reputation is far less tangible than benefits.

"Space rift clearance plan activated, expected to be completed in 10 minutes. Strategic Element Annihilation Bomb transported in place, initiating strike point 'Stargate'..."

The mechanical voice of Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" echoed throughout the entire floor of the office, succinctly and smoothly reporting the execution process.

Shen Fei: "..."

Although she had witnessed Chen Fei's decisive actions many times before, she still found it hard to adapt. It wasn't just her; others also struggled to keep up with this pace that was almost like AI execution. The "Sagali" civilization was precisely beaten by such wild fists that killed the old master.

The administrative efficiency of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee was almost comparable to that of large enterprises like the Northern Weapons Industry Group. While collective wisdom might not be highly efficient, it was not prone to mistakes.

The space rift outside Blue Star's atmosphere had long since returned to calm, the vortex of faint light points at its back concealing a star system utterly plunged into silence, precisely the star system Chen Fei had once plundered.

At the position 1000 kilometers directly in front of the space rift, a silver "Stargate" ring appeared out of thin air. After the light film quietly formed inside the ring, a missile, ten meters in length, darted straight out, its tail shimmering with intense flames, heading directly toward the space rift.

The "Space Rift Clearance Plan" whether the plans or the targeting points had long been ready, only waiting for Chen Fei's command as the final push.

"Chen Fei, what are you doing? Is there another operation?"

The specially designed strategic Element Annihilation Bomb had just been launched and within a minute, the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee called.

Many people and organizations were following Chen Xiao'er's every move through sporadic online live broadcasts.

"Of course, it's to destroy the space rift! Any problems? Do you intend to keep it? Hey, which side are you on?"

With a series of three deadly questions, Chen Fei cornered the opposition. His strongest moral high ground was having personally destroyed the "Sagali" civilization's star system.

The incursions of space rifts and various "abnormal regions" on Blue Star had all halted simultaneously, with Chen Fei taking immense credit. Thus, the stance against the "Sagali" civilization became a weaponized good strategy. Every time it was used, it left opponents speechless, a tactic effective for a long time to come.

So far, it has been confirmed that the space rift and two "abnormal regions" were connected to the interior of the destroyed star system. The celestial bodies corresponding to the other two "abnormal regions" were locked in by large astronomical telescopes, approximately 17 and 29 light-years away, likely adjacent star systems. This led to the speculation that the "Sagali" civilization's nest was stolen by Chen Fei, much to the world's delight.

The unfortunate one on the call with Chen Fei, pushed out to take the blame, spoke in an exasperated tone: "What nonsense are you talking about, of course I'm on the side of the Blue Star Civilization."

"Who benefits or loses from the destruction of the space rift, does that even need to be questioned? Who doubts? Who opposes?"

Chen Fei had already dug the pit, just waiting for the other party to jump in.

"We're just trying to..."

"No, you're not!"

Click! The call was forcibly ended unilaterally. Chen Fei had already conveyed his intentions entirely, if being advantageous to Blue Star aligns with the stance, stop blubbering excuses.

One sentence Chen Fei said hit the mark: because of his overwhelming assertiveness, the presence of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee was increasingly diminished.
