Chapter 704 Holy War Medal
Upon hearing this, even Chi Yan and Bing Yu behind him were stunned.
Sector Chief?!
That's a powerful regional governor who oversees hundreds of star systems!
Usually only senior high-level martial gods, or even half-step war gods, are qualified to serve as such!
Before Lin Qiye could speak, Zhao Changfeng hurriedly explained, cold sweat instantly pouring down his forehead:
"Sir! Please don't misunderstand!!"
"This...this was absolutely not my fault for being so talkative, or trying to make your assessment more difficult!!"
"This is the recommended option automatically popped up by the Taurus sequence! According to regulations, I must truthfully relay the system's recommended options without any personal bias whatsoever!"
Zhao Changfeng was genuinely afraid.
What if this person just wants to be a peaceful local tyrant in the galaxy? If my words turn into forcing him to do even more tiring work, wouldn't I be offending this supreme being to death?
Faced with Ultra's privileges, he, as a mere branch manager, was like an ant trying to fathom the thoughts of a dragon; every wrong word he uttered could bring about his annihilation.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow slightly, a playful glint flashing in his dark purple eyes.
What is the total length of the 0755 galaxy?
Or... the Chief of Sector 075?
This Taurus sequence seems to be up to something.
Lin Qiye's slender fingers tapped lightly on the mahogany table, producing a rhythmic "tap-tap" sound.
His expression was calm, his dark purple eyes steadily fixed on Zhao Changfeng as he asked:
"What are your respective tasks? Tell me."
Zhao Changfeng quickly wiped the sweat from his brow, leaned forward slightly, and explained respectfully:
"My lord, first I must explain the background to you."
"The 075 star sector, where the 0755 star system is located, is a relatively remote edge of the Taurus constellation. According to star network records, the 075 star sector and all the star systems under its jurisdiction have not paid any land development taxes to the host star for more than three hundred years."
"According to Imperial law, if a territory has not paid taxes for more than three hundred years, it is considered to have automatically relinquished its jurisdiction. Therefore, the current 075 sector is legally considered 'no man's land' and is in a state of free registration."
Lin Qiye nodded slightly, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
"I see."
The 0755 galaxy is indeed quite remote. The local tyrants probably thought that the emperor was far away and they lacked the strength or encountered some kind of change, so they simply stopped paying taxes.
They probably didn't expect Lin Qiye to rise to prominence so quickly.
Lin Qiye looked at Chen Tianyang sitting behind him, and Zhou Ming and Feng Zhentian immediately felt a chill run down their spines.
Even now that they possessed the White Flame, the deep-seated awe they felt towards Lin Qiye still made them instantly jump up.
"Commander... Commander-in-Chief!!"
Chen Tianyang, with a pained expression, quickly bowed and explained, "It's not that we don't want to pay taxes, it's just... we only have a vague understanding of it ourselves!"
"Oh?" Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow.
Zhou Ming quickly added from the side, his tone urgent: "Sir, according to our family history records, several hundred years ago, the most talented and strongest direct descendants of our Chen, Zhou, and Feng families gradually left the 0755 star system, rumored to be returning to their main family in the main star region..."
Feng Zhentian sighed and continued, "So the practice of paying taxes ceased with their departure. We, the family heads who rose to power later, were completely unaware of this..."
At this point, the three of them looked rather strange.
"Moreover..." Chen Tianyang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Since we came to the main star region with you, we've tried to contact the main family, but we haven't received a response..."
Lin Qiye nodded.
This is similar to a country person suddenly coming to a big city to contact relatives, who will most likely avoid them.
However, Lin Qiye did not believe all of their words.
This is just an excuse to avoid paying taxes.
After all, every few decades, an education department team from the main star region travels to the 0755 star system.
How could I not know anything about it?
However, Lin Qiye did not investigate further.
After all, it has nothing to do with him.
After his rise to power, he became the sole ruler of the 0755 galaxy.
The three people present also completely agreed.
Zhao Changfeng secretly observed Lin Qiye's expression, and seeing that the Supreme Lord did not show any displeasure, he mustered his courage and continued:
"The specific assessment tasks are mainly divided into two levels."
"The first tier is the assessment for the chief of the 0755 star system that you originally applied for."
Zhao Changfeng held up one finger:
"First, you need to pay 1 Galactic Source Coins as an application fee for the galaxy's overall assessment. But this money is not wasted. If you successfully complete the subsequent assessments, this 1 Source Coins will directly offset the galaxy's prepaid taxes for the next 100 years."
"Next are the hard requirements: within 10 years of successfully registering, you must set off for the interstellar battlefield, and within 100 years, accumulate combat merits and obtain the 'Holy War Medal' at the soldier level or above."
"Once you receive the Holy War Medal, you will rightfully be the Lifetime Chief Administrator of System 0755!"
Lin Qiye nodded.
He remembered the Medal of Holy War!
Back when I was still a martial artist, I met Wang Haotian and Chen Xuanyi in a school competition. They both had Holy War Medals.
Chen Xuanyi was carrying the First-Class Holy War Medal.
It seems that the head of the Chen family back then was very likely the former governor of the star system.
At this point, Zhao Changfeng continued to explain:
"The second tier is the assessment for the chief of sector 075."
"You will need to pay 10 Galaxy Origin Coins as an application fee. Similarly, passing the assessment will offset the taxes of the entire star sector for the next 100 years."
"The hard requirements are also more stringent: while the starting time is still within 10 years, you need to obtain a 'Holy War Medal' of sergeant rank or higher in the interstellar battlefield within 200 years!"
"Is it a tenfold difference in price and with much higher military merit requirements?"
Lin Qiye stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.
Seeing this, Zhao Changfeng was afraid that the official would be displeased, so he quickly explained:
"My lord! These are all assessment standards derived from the 'Taurus Sequence' and unanimously approved by all interstellar war gods and above."
"The Sector Governor possesses immense autonomy! You can directly appoint governors for all the star systems under your jurisdiction, establishing your own independent administrative team!"
Lin Qiye nodded. Zhao Changfeng's implication was that this star sector was under the protection of imperial law, and that it possessed a small kingdom belonging to an individual!
This is a benefit that may only be available in the Frontier Sector.
After all, it's impossible for just a few families to control a major star region or other prosperous star regions. There will definitely be more than a hundred families, eventually forming a balance of power.
