Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1312 - 498: Our Choice

When this group of people began to feel fear, the situation improved dramatically.

Grue Augustus and others restrained their arrogance, and only presented the laws of the Empire, politely and ceremoniously indicating that they would fulfill the rights of the sponsors of the Tracer colony.

Moreover, due to concerns about further angering Ren Zhong, Grue canceled the two plans to request the Tracker Spaceship and the Super Network Node entity on the spot.

Grue believed that in such major matters, it would be better for someone as small as a Baron not to get involved, and it would be sufficient to have his father negotiate with Ren Zhong himself more directly on South Nine b.

In the Empire’s laws, there are detailed and comprehensive regulations pertaining to Tracer colonial actions sponsored and completed by the nobility.

The nine Viscount families have the right to extend an invitation to the civilians who completed the colonial action and successfully returned to the Empire’s territory.

Typically, this invitation is restricted to individuals with clear blood relations to the noble family.

After all, the Empire’s nobility mostly does not lack population, and the reason for inviting returning civilians is merely to somewhat improve the genetic diversity of their families.

However, this time, for some undisclosed reasons, the nine Viscount families unusually expanded the invitation scope to include everyone in the fleet.

Of course, this invitation is not without its threshold. Compared to normal recruitment within the Empire’s territory, the review terms offered by the Viscount families to members of the Source Star Fleet are even more stringent.

For example, in the realm of Professionals, no matter what type of Professionals, they must reach at least level 8 to qualify.

Ordinary workers are completely refused.

In terms of researchers and technical personnel, those intending to register must participate in a vocational skill assessment that complies with the Empire’s standards and must meet the level of senior engineers or above.

According to Ren Zhong’s instructions, Ju Qingmeng, upon hearing the other’s excessive demands, immediately displayed raging anger, reprimanding that this was a severe provocation to the Earl.

But this time, Grue had reasonable grounds, calmly and confidently presenting the laws and explaining them one by one.

In the end, Ju Qingmeng had no choice but to adopt a posture of swallowing her resentment and granting permission for the other party to send out recruitment invitations to everyone through the fleet management system.

The recruitment invitation prepared by Grue was a speech recorded by himself.

"Citizens from Source Star, congratulations on leaving the ignorant and backward colony and arriving at a territory that truly belongs to civilization. I believe you have gone through basic learning and know what a mighty state the Empire is, and have developed a basic awareness of your objective situation as frogs in the well. Perhaps you are still confused and anxious, uncertain about what future awaits you. Perhaps you have already seen the true face of South Nine c, this poverty-stricken region."

"You’ve gone through difficult voyages, and I believe you are eager to immediately embrace a true life belonging to the interstellar civilization of the Empire. To take planets as hunting grounds, wander between different Star Clusters, cross journeys of tens of thousands of light years, witness unimaginable cosmic wonders, and experience different customs and cultures, this is what a true citizen of interstellar civilization should enjoy in life, rather than continuing to stay on a horrendous planet after generations have suffered, risking life merely in a hopeless struggle."

"Of course, according to the Empire’s laws, you originally automatically belonged to Earl Ren Zhong, you are his people, also his private property. This sounds quite despairing. But now, I, representing the Augustus family and the other eight noble families, the true creators of Source Star civilization, can offer you a chance to choose a new path in life."

"Do you wish to stay with Earl Ren Zhong on the deathly planet of South Nine c, or follow me to the territory of old and established Empire nobility with a heritage of ten thousand years, to be valued and witness true prosperity? Those who have confidence in their abilities, please register quickly. Registration time is only two hours, the opportunity is rare, must be cherished, once it passes, it won’t return."

Ju Qingmeng also heard Grue’s speech, secretly curling her lips in disdain. This Grue Augustus is so ordinary; apart from arrogantly looking down on all life, posing as if winning you over is your luck, he has no other skills. The persuasive power, depth, and scope of this speech cannot compare to Ren Zhong’s casual talk.
