"You?"
Hearing Seele's somewhat strange question, Chu Ze immediately looked the young woman before him up and down.
The young woman had smooth purple long hair, and was wearing a purple and black combat uniform suitable for battle. The tight shorts on her lower body highlighted her snow-white and slender long legs.
From her appearance, she had the飒爽 (sa shuang - crisp and cool) beauty of a cheerful girl. And her tight figure, which had been trained for a long time, exuded a sexy charm that made people's imaginations run wild.
If he could interact with her in bed, be tightly entangled by this pair of tight, long legs, and let her slender little waist twist and turn... it would surely be an exquisite and blissful experience.
But to be fair, Chu Ze felt that he already had enough women around him, and for the time being, he didn't need a partner just to relieve his loneliness.
So he extended his hand to politely decline:
"I'm sorry you're a good person but we're not suitable and I already have enough girls around me if I take in any more I won't be able to take care of them so I can't accept your invitation..."
"Wait a minute, why was I suddenly shot down with a 'good person' card!"
Seele quickly waved her hands repeatedly:
"You misunderstood, Chu Ze. I just want you to see my martial arts talent."
With that, she showed a somewhat longing look:
"You are a very powerful man, exactly the other half I've dreamed of... no, no, I should say the image of a master."
Seemingly noticing that her voice was a bit loud, to avoid affecting the others' meeting, the purple-haired young woman quickly lowered her voice:
"I want to ask you how to obtain great power, because I also have people I want to protect."
Chu Ze was thoughtful:
"Bronya?"
"Mhm."
"...Mutual love?"
"No."
Seele shook her head, her tone firm this time:
"We see each other as best friends, partners who advance together."
"But if you're referring to matters of affection... our sexual orientations are quite mainstream."
"Alright, I understand."
Chu Ze thought carefully for a moment:
"To obtain great power, the most important thing is to put in enough effort and sweat."
"If you want to follow my method, then I have three choices for you."
Seele's eyes shone:
"Please tell me."
Chu Ze said:
"First, follow a specific training plan and train hard every day, without slacking."
"As long as you persist for fifty years, you can make effective progress."
Seele was immediately choked up.
Fifty years?
By that time, she would probably have become an old woman with no teeth!
"Then what about the second choice?"
"The second choice is also very simple. Join the army, lead troops into battle, and charge to the front line in every battle, constantly honing your battlefield skills. It will also only take fifty years for you to have significant growth."
"...Then what about the third one?"
"The third one requires a little bit of luck."
Chu Ze gestured with his fingers:
"You need to be noticed by Nanook, and then have a Stellaron stuffed into your body. Then you need to be glanced at by Aha to avoid the fate of exploding."
"By the way, Nanook and Aha are existences on the same level as the Amber Lord."
"...Excuse me, I'm leaving."
Seele silently shrank back.
And Chu Ze looked at the young woman's side profile:
"Do you find it very difficult?"
Seele said helplessly:
"I can't say it's very difficult, only that it's completely hopeless."
"This is the reason why strong people are rare."
Chu Ze's eyes lit up, and he took the opportunity to say:
"Or you can try to walk your own path and find your own fortune."
"For the sake of our fate, I can give you an opportunity."
Seele looked at him in surprise.
She saw Chu Ze extend a finger and say:
"Soon, I will create a commerce guild, and the guild's first business will be related to Belobog's ores."
"You can board my starship and serve as a guard during the voyage."
"While guarding the goods, you will broaden your horizons, communicate with other interstellar civilizations, and thus obtain your own opportunities."
Chu Ze pinched his fingers, making a gesture for money:
"Don't worry, for every trip you take with the ship, I will only charge a very small service fee."
"And when you are skilled in your work and plan to cooperate with me long-term, even this service fee can be waived."
"Even in the near future, I can register you as an employee of the commerce guild. Maybe you can even earn a salary?"
Interstellar civilization.
Flying into the universe.
Such a statement successfully attracted Seele's interest.
She was completely unaware that she was paying to be a worker and was already amazed by the grand vision Chu Ze had painted.
"Is that really possible?"
"Can I really, as described in science fiction stories, roam the vast universe?"
"Really, I, Chu Ze, never lie."
Chu Ze said thoughtfully:
"And each trip will only last for about a month, so it won't take up too much of your time. You can completely balance both Belobog and cosmic exploration."
"What do you think, want to join? The opportunity is right in front of you."
"Yes! I do!"
With eyes completely unpolluted by knowledge, Seele was thus tricked into joining Chu Ze's command.
Chu Ze immediately nodded with a smile:
"Then I'll draft a contract later. After we sign the contract, we'll be partners."
"Mhm, thank you, Chu Ze... no, Boss Chu Ze!"
Seele said with sincere emotion.
Not only did he teach her how to become stronger, but he even gave her an opportunity to train...
He really is an honest man!
Chu Ze also sized up Seele with great satisfaction.
Although her background was low and her strength was weak, to be able to grow to her current state in an environment like Belobog was already quite talented.
After she was exposed to a wider world, her strength would definitely skyrocket. As an ordinary guard on a starship, she was definitely qualified.
"By the way, there's also Pela. She's a rare comprehensive management talent."
"I'll find a chance to trick her in later."
Under Seele's grateful gaze, Chu Ze continued to make his small calculations, planning for the future commerce guild...
...
...
On the other side, a conclusion had also been reached on how to deal with Cocolia.
First, she certainly couldn't continue to hold power.
After she woke up, Bronya would come forward to persuade her to pass on her position immediately.
For the ordinary people, this was just a normal transition of power and would not cause suspicion or panic.
If Cocolia still held onto her stubborn ideas, then the Astral Express would step in and use their off-world power for a "gentle" persuasion.
After the transfer of power was complete and Belobog's basic situation had stabilized, Cocolia would be imprisoned in a political prison to spend the rest of her long and cold life.
But considering that her original intention was not to destroy Belobog, but that she had just chosen the wrong path after being eroded by the Stellaron, she had the right to apply for a meeting with Bronya and also had a certain chance for atonement.
If she could play a certain role when Bronya encountered difficulties in the future, then her sentence could be reduced accordingly.
And if she could show her position in a possible political struggle, she would also be credited with a merit.
"More detailed rules can be discussed slowly later."
"At the very least, we need to appease the people's emotions first and lift the quarantine between the Overworld and the Underworld as soon as possible."
Bronya finally made a decision.
But she still had to ask for Chu Ze's opinion.
Because it was Chu Ze who had saved her mother, in this matter, she certainly had to get his consent.
"Mr. Chu Ze, do you have any other brilliant ideas..."
However, when she looked in Chu Ze's direction, she was horrified to find that at this moment, Chu Ze was talking happily with Seele in a low voice.
There was even a hint of a blush on Seele's face, and her eyes were full of amazement and admiration.
Bronya: "..."
And so her voice suddenly stopped...
