Chapter 194 It’s all here
Since Cecilia left, Gatana seems to have been quiet, and the wolf clan's usurpation of power has caused quite a stir. The Zerg have seized this period of prosperity to vigorously develop infrastructure and economic recovery, and their prosperity is now quite visible.
At least preparations have been made to begin the restoration plan for the ground-level buildings.
After many days away, the insects returned to the ground and couldn't help but marvel at the bright sunshine.
Saenster told Andor to stay with Shen Qingqing and take care of her, while he tore off his shirt to go to work.
Hearing this, Andor raised an eyebrow and said teasingly, "What, now you're not afraid I'll kidnap your Qingqing?"
"Hmph, you'd better have the guts." Saenster sneered.
The light fell on Saenster's arms, softening his perfect body, which was now crisscrossed with scars.
“Qingqing is the queen insect, so it’s only natural that she has many servant insects,” Saenster said without saying anything, but deep down he also wanted to possess her exclusively. “But no matter what, the first insect Qingqing encountered when she opened her eyes was me. Everything she saw and heard was about me, so…”
"So you have a unique advantage in trying to make your presence known to Qingqing, right?" Andor asked.
"It's good to know."
Saenster thought for a moment and decided that Andor looked more pleasing to the eye than Ryan, that smiling old fox, so he whispered a reminder in his ear.
"Remember to take good care of her for me. Also, don't let Ryan get close to him; that guy is cunning."
Then he carried the huge logs away.
Seeing that he was determined not to let Qingqing and Ryan talk, Andor stopped trying to persuade him.
He simply bowed slightly to show his respect for his willingness to participate in the construction of the Zerg.
At the same time, Shen Qingqing and Ge Yuan also moved out of the underground city and were carrying large and small bags of luggage to their temporary residence.
"Ge Yuan, do we really have to develop secondary industries at this time?" Shen Qingqing expressed her incomprehension of Ge Yuan's insistence on building factories on a large scale.
Upon hearing this, Ge Yuan stopped in her tracks, and Shen Qingqing accidentally bumped into her back with a thud.
Slender and tall with a beautiful figure, Ge Yuan put down the black plastic bag and suitcase in her hand, and stroked her chin, pondering the meaning of her words.
"Our technology can still keep up, and with Saenster and Andor in charge, defending against foreign races is something we used to have to worry about. At this point, almost no other races dare to cause trouble on Wangxing, so we don't need to worry about that. Our main focus now is on developing the economy."
"So we need to develop secondary industries?" Shen Qingqing thought that was what Ge Yuan meant.
"Pretty much, but we also need to coordinate with the development of the tertiary industry," Ge Yuan said to her with a smile. "We'll take care of the secondary industry, and your live streaming room will be temporarily managed by Serite. Why not use that guy?"
The primary sector is agriculture, the secondary sector is manufacturing, and the tertiary sector is services.
Clearly, live streaming belongs to the tertiary industry, and when the economy develops to a sufficiently high level, the proportion of the tertiary industry will increase.
Because Shen Qingqing felt sorry for the Zerg's meager development funds, she urgently halted the construction of the palace and moved into the staff dormitory with Ge Yuan, carrying her luggage.
These past few days, she's been taking economy class on interstellar flights to explore various star systems, and then bringing back different gadgets to Wangxing, which has exhausted her.
"Why do we have to be so tired when we go out to buy things?"
Shen Qingqing collapsed in her seat, almost unable to speak.
Putting aside the fact that she hadn't encountered any other Zerg in the past few days, she had already made dozens of trips back and forth between star systems, a feat comparable to a modern college student's three-day trip to eight cities. It almost gave her a heart attack.
"Please note, I went out to buy supplies, and you secretly followed me," Ge Yuan reminded her.
“…Oh dear, Ge Yuan~”
"Okay, I won't tell Andorra about this."
Seeing that Shen Qingqing still insisted on coming with her, Ge Yuan could only comfort her, "Just bear with it, we can swim back after we cross this planet."
"So where do we go next?"
"The most prosperous and bustling place in the interstellar space—Castel!"
When the two of them finally got off the interstellar flight, their legs were numb from sitting.
Don't think that interplanetary flights are something high-end or luxurious. On the contrary, flights, like airplanes, are divided into economy class and business class.
As for why they don't fly business class?
Of course, it's because it costs money.
It's worth saving a little bit.
"It's stuffy and hot inside, not at all as comfortable as they advertised," Shen Qingqing muttered. "Even interstellar flights have economy class."
"Of course, otherwise how could they make money from business class alone?"
Ge Yuan replied, "Although interstellar flights are now managed by the Interstellar Transportation Security Committee, private capital was involved in the initial stages of construction. The Interstellar Federation went to great lengths to secure private funding in order to build flights that ordinary people could afford. Therefore, according to the contract, ticket revenue belongs to the private sector."
Shen Qingqing said weakly, "So, in order to break even and make a profit, that's why the interior of the flight is arranged so compactly, right?"
"That's right!"
She said it herself, why can't I even stretch my legs out in economy class?
Moreover, she was only about 160cm tall and it was already so difficult for her to sit. I don't know how Ge Yuan, who was sitting in another carriage, managed to squeeze in.
Thinking this, Shen Qingqing's gaze involuntarily fell on Ge Yuan's long legs.
How exactly did they do it?
"What are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering how you managed to squeeze yourself into that seat, Ge Yuan," Shen Qingqing said directly.
"By the way, Ge Yuan, did you practice some kind of bone-shrinking technique?"
"Hahaha, that's hilarious, Qingqing!" Ge Yuan laughed so hard she almost fell over.
"No, I'm just good at organizing space."
She then measured her own height, saying, "It's just a matter of curling up my legs for a little while, and besides, there's a suitcase on top where I can put my legs."
Castor is arguably the most prosperous planet in the entire galaxy. Unlike the Zerg, they adopt a federal system, and all carbon-based life forms holding legal residency permits on Castor can legally seek protection from their embassy.
"...It has relatively few local functions and is mostly composed of members from other star systems."
After getting off at a space port, Ge Yuan gave her a basic introduction to the planet Caster.
For example, try to avoid conflicts with local citizens, and leave immediately if you see military personnel to avoid getting involved with them.
"Then how do we determine whether they are citizens?" Shen Qingqing asked.
"Check if they have a silver badge issued by the Federal Command Center on their chest."
Ge Yuan took out a picture from her pocket, which showed two sharp blades in the center of a pair of sharp silver wings.
"This is the Federal Badge. Remember to stay away from people wearing it; they're not to be trifled with."
