A Core Ship From The Start
Chapter 574 - Chapter 574 Chapter 422 Mental Breakdown_2

Chapter 574: Chapter 422: Mental Breakdown_2 Chapter 574: Chapter 422: Mental Breakdown_2 Back in the Warring States Period, wasn’t every one of the Six Nations of Chunqiu gnashing their teeth in hatred towards the Qin State? And what was the result?

The Qin State united the world, not through friendships, but by strengthening their nation and their army!

In disputes among nations and races, benevolence is a dead end, your displayed kindness is viewed as weakness in the eyes of the aliens.

“Make your choice.”

Duanmu Huai stared indifferently at the two before him.

“I am aware of the Star Union’s purpose for sending you here, so I will leave the selection of planets to you. Choose those suitable for colonization by the Star Union, and the Tribunal will eradicate whatever remains.”

“……”

The younger brother, Shepperd, wanted to say something more, but his sister had already stepped forward and swiftly chosen several planets within the Boundary God Star System. She even explained her reasons for choosing these planets to Duanmu Huai. Clearly, she had thought this through in advance. Duanmu Huai merely nodded in response, without further comment.

“Alright, you may leave. We will proceed as we have discussed, setting off for the Boundary God Star System tomorrow.”

“Yes, sir!”

Sister Sheppard made a salute, then led her brother away.

“Sister, are we doing the right thing here?”

Only after they had returned to their own warship did Shepperd’s younger brother furrow his brow, voicing his unease.

“The Boundary God Star System is populated by villains. If the Tribunal proceeds in this manner, it might unite them all in hatred against us, and we will come under tremendous pressure.”

“That would be the perfect time to take them all down.”

Unlike her brother, the sister had a more profound view of the situation. She shook her head, commenting,

“You also know that the Boundary God Star System is inhabited by villains. To them, we can only be their enemies. No matter what, they will unite to fight against us. Since that’s the case, we should make them fully aware of humanity’s strength and let them know we’re not to be trifled with!”

With his sister’s reply, shepperd fell silent, only nodding quietly in agreement. Isn’t he a soldier? Doesn’t he wish to exhibit humanity’s glory? It’s just that compared to his sister, his approach was more cautious. His initial plan was to feign weakness initially, then catch the enemy off guard. However, Duanmu Huai was quite firm, and since his sister had spoken, he decided he would follow her words.

Duanmu Huai didn’t quite care about the conflict within the Boundary God Star System itself. In fact, the sister had only chosen three planets for very comprehensive reasons. One was situated at the border between the Boundary God Star System and the current boundaries of the Star Union, a location vital for the future deployment of soldiers and the colonization forces of the Star Union.

Next was a colony planet situated at the center of the Boundary God Star System, vital for asserting control over the entire Boundary God Star System. Finally, a planet on the other side of the Boundary God Star System served as a strategic location, resembling the mouth of a bag. In other words, capturing this planet would ensure the complete shutdown of any other forces entering the Boundary God Star System.

As for what comes next, it would merely be a difference between a forced advance and locking down the exit before trapping the enemy in a pot.

“Huh……”

Duanmu Huai sighed, let go of the thoughts tormenting him, reached out to pet Ogi’s little head and rose to rest.

However, just at this moment, Duanmu Huai heard the sound of laughter and celebration outside. He saw the door opening, and Ann, Maria, and others came in together with the True Machine.

“Knight! Knight! The True Machine is going viral! It’s really popular!”

“Oh? Really?”

At this, Duanmu Huai also broke into a grin. Of course, he knew that the True Machine’s “Superior Charm” would be effective, but he had no idea it would be this impactful!

The True Machine was also ecstatic. Outgoing by nature, she was the perfect fit for this kind of interactive work. The streaming event was no different. Although the Star Union’s orders called for ads to be broadcasted on the platform, the sheer number of viewers that stayed was a testament to the True Machine’s capabilities!

“Yes, Knight, at the beginning, lots of people insulted the True Machine when they saw her. We were terrified!”

Greiya nodded fervently. They were all first-time streamers, so they witnessed the entire process of the True Machine’s live stream. Initially, seeing people hurl abusive comments at the sight of the True Machine had been quite a shock, since they couldn’t understand why anyone would be so aggressive.

This was rather unsurprising as they had followed Duanmu Huai till today, with their first encounter with the modern internet environment courtesy of the Star Union. The command from the Star Union pushed the platform to promote the stream to its maximum. This, of course, annoyed quite a few people, leading some to rebel against this unknown newcomer who was being heavily promoted across the entire network of the Star Union.

So when the streaming began, many directed their anger straight at the stream indiscriminately. This frightened the young female viewers observing from the sidelines.

If it had been Greiya or Felin, they probably would have ended the live stream on the spot, retreating into isolation.

However, Zhenjiling, as expected of [Superior Charm], met the audience’s complaints and snide comments with no change in her expression. She cheerfully chatted and greeted them, and as a result, not only did the number of viewers not decrease, it actually increased!

Of course, there was nothing particularly remarkable about Zhenjiling’s live stream. She simply introduced herself, performed some songs and dances from the Horse Maiden Clan, and then chatted with everyone about everyday topics like makeup.

But it… it exploded in popularity!

“How many people are watching?”

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai’s eyes lit up and he asked.

“Five hundred million people!”

Ann quickly replied, surprising herself with the number.

Five hundred million people! That’s several hundred times the entire population of Manaria!!

Even Duanmu Huai was taken by surprise. Although he knew that the Star Union had spread beyond the Solar System and probably had a population of several hundred billion, having five hundred million viewers on a first live stream was still…

Indeed, Superior Charm is…

Incredibly awesome.

Thinking about this, Duanmu Huai started chatting with Zhenjiling too. He had been a host before and knew how disgusting online violence could be. Even though Zhenjiling was all smiles now, he worried about whether she would be psychologically affected.

But, to Duanmu Huai’s worry, Zhenjiling appeared completely calm. She expressed that she had encountered such things in her clan before, it was no big deal. She only needed to have a good “talk” and let everyone see her cuteness, then it would be fine.

Was this “talk” supposed to be a physical or magical one?

In any case, seeing that Zhenjiling hadn’t been too affected, Duanmu Huai breathed a sigh of relief. After encouraging her a few more times, they all left. Originally, Ann and Greiya also wanted to start a live stream, but they were too shocked to dare to do so.

As for Felin, she was firm in her decision.

Why go to the trouble of streaming when she could just watch and enjoy the drama?

“Hmm……”

After Zhenjiling and the others left, Duanmu Huai settled back down. After thinking for a while, he opened his terminal and connected to the Star Union network, then found the live streaming platform.

Surprisingly, Zhenjiling was able to retain five hundred million viewers on her first live stream. He also wanted to try and see how many viewers he could retain with his new improved charm.

Given the population base of the Star union, he didn’t expect to get five hundred million viewers. But surely there would be at least five-thousand?

So Duanmu Huai started a live stream titled “Wild Handsome Man Takes You Through the Universe” and beamingly launched it.

A moment later, people started to join, and then they saw Duanmu Huai.

“Heck, what is this creature!”

[Half a Dark Piece exited the live stream]

Then came another.

“Oh man, I’m just here for a video late at night, and I see a ghost!”

[Basketball Rap exited the live stream]

Then the live stream screen in front of Duanmu Huai went black.

[Due to the host breaking the rules by providing distressing live stream content, this program has been suspended]

“……”

Looking at the system message in front of him, Duanmu Huai silently shut off the terminal,

Damn it, I’m not streaming anymore! Tomorrow I’ll go and take out my frustrations on those alien hybrids in the Boundary God Star System!
