The spiral-shaped builder machines, controlled by servants, are exposed in space, using their mechanical appendages to perform welding and assembly work.

The massive number of builder drones are like a diligent ant colony, working tirelessly.

The space city's basic framework is constructed using robust refined gold.

Large plasma reactors are installed underground in cities to power various urban systems.

At the same time, a gravity field device was also installed to ensure that the space city has the same gravity field as a planet.

The construction of the space city was divided into different phases.

But once a phase is completed, people and factories are moved into the newly built urban area.

Those who move in will participate in building the space city and getting the factories running, generating profits and reducing the empire's financial burden.

The migrating residents started from the royal palace and gradually expanded outwards.

In the end, all residents and administrative departments will be relocated to space.

In addition to major infrastructure projects, the construction of instant messaging networks has also been put on the agenda.

With the operation of the Terran government, coupled with Mars's powerful production capabilities,

The worlds surrounding the solar system began to be incorporated into the Empire's communication network.

As communications expanded, the Imperial Bank also began to play a role.

The Throne Coin, issued by it, became the sole official currency of the Empire; no other world was allowed to issue its own currency.

The existing currency is exchanged for Throne Coins at a certain ratio.

Throne coins come in different denominations and are suitable for different scenarios.

This practice has drawn opposition from the rulers of many planets.

Printing money was a key means for them to plunder wealth.

If they lose the right to print money, their wealth and status will shrink significantly.

Qin Yun gave these people two choices.

"Either comply with the bill being pushed through, or be burned at the stake."

"The human empire lacks everything, except servants who want to serve the emperor."

Such a tough stance naturally aroused dissatisfaction among many ruling families.

But faced with saints who possessed terrifying religious appeal, they dared not speak out against them.

During the apostasy era, Van Diehl, as a mortal, caused immense suffering to many families.

It is easy to imagine just how powerful the appeal of the state religion is.

Although the state religion was no longer allowed to possess armed forces, its fanatical followers remained a force that could not be ignored.

Now, the Sage controls Terra and also possesses a large army.

I just objected today.

The next day, the punitive fleet will arrive above the planet.

On the third day, the family is expelled, and everyone on the planet can then enjoy a feast.

"Reform must never be so brutal; it tramples on the dignity of loyal subjects of the empire."

Guilliman spoke again, advocating for the ruling families and the powerful elites whose interests had been harmed.

They were so moved that they wept bitterly.

The original body was better, unlike that damned 'saint' who was purely after them and wanted to take their lives.

Why not let the Primarch reside in Terra?!

"A petition written in the blood of the people: the Primarch is the Emperor's true son and should rightfully reside in Terra."

"Get that 'saint' out of here!"

"How hateful! If the Primarch hadn't been so busy saving the Empire that he couldn't spare the time to govern Terra, that guy wouldn't have been able to do such atrocities."

"........."

Unlike the hatred of the privileged class, Qin Yun was quite popular among the lower and middle classes.

Because the reform policies he promoted were genuinely beneficial to them.

Various welfare and human rights systems have relieved them of their heavy burdens.

So that they don't need faith to numb and comfort themselves.

Rather, they truly and genuinely felt happiness.

…………

While the guides were busy reforming Terra,

The young players weren't idle either; instead, they went on adventures, searching for ancient relics or carrying out missions given by the expeditionary force.

The Terra Spring expansion has ended.

All the warbands that participated in this expansion event have reaped huge rewards and made a fortune.

The players of the Hogwarts Chapter were no exception.

They got a lot of good stuff and also acquired an amazing amount of contribution points.

"Now is not the time to relax. We must continue to work hard, save money to build up the fleet, make it bigger and stronger, and create brilliance."

"Don't think about anything else, just focus on one thing: making money."

Old Thirteen encouraged the players in the battle group, giving them a pep talk.

Soon, they received their assignment from the court.

Go search for an ancient warp artifact.

So they set off in a small barge they had just bought.

However, upon arriving at the galaxy mentioned in the intelligence report,

The barges were attacked as soon as they broke free from the highest heavens.

A small fleet of undead was already waiting for them at the warp exit.

Before their barges could even raise their void shields, they were attacked in quick succession.

Its engine was destroyed first, rendering it immobile and turning it into easy prey for the enemy.

The weapon system was damaged in many places, making it unable to even retaliate.

On the bridge of the barge, piercing alarms blared incessantly.

"Damn, is this some kind of targeted attack by a bot?"

Old Thirteen stared blankly at the scarlet notification that appeared on the console screen.

You can't be this unlucky!

This is a boat he just bought!

After another urgent alarm sounded, a worker on the bridge shouted in a desperate voice.

"The enemy is boarding."

"Damn it!!" the Blind Monk couldn't help but curse. "Face the enemy, face the enemy immediately."

The Hogwarts players reacted very quickly.

They immediately assembled and rushed to the location where the enemy boarded the ship.

They are all seasoned veterans.

The thirteenth prince also rushed over.

Those boarding the ship are space necromancers.

These aliens remained silent, wielding Gauss rifles, and fired at the players.

Beams of green light swept across the corridor, landing on the crew members and turning them into dust along with the green light.

"Block these iron ribs."

While directing the battle, Lao Shisan sought help in the player chat channel.

"Brothers, we need help!!"

As soon as the message was sent, the previously sparse chat channel was suddenly flooded with a bunch of veteran players.

Zhan Shuai: "Thirteenth Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Little Alpaca: "I'm just guessing, maybe someone got lost in the pleasure maze and was having so much fun that they lost contact with others."

Bald monk: "Haha, I don't have money to pay the bill, so I don't dare to pull it out."

Jujiro: "@Bald Donkey, you're so knowledgeable, do you do this all the time?"

Old Thirteen: “…………”

"How terrible must my image be in your eyes?!"

"Get to the point, I've been attacked by a fleet of undead."

"For the sake of the Emperor, everyone, lend a hand to your brother!"

War Master: "Necromancer? You went to dig someone's grave?"

Thirteenth Brother: "No, I don't know how I ran into a fleet of undead. Today is just one of all my bad luck."

"........."

The fighting prowess of the players in the Hogwarts Chapter should not be underestimated.

But the space necromancers were no ordinary beings either.

After a period of fighting, Old Thirteen and other players were at a disadvantage.

Ultimately, he was captured alive by the swarming undead army.

Only after they were disarmed and put in magic-suppressing shackles did the mastermind appear before them.

It was only at this point that the players realized that the one who ambushed them was the galaxy's famous collector—Tarasin the Endless.

Because they were trapped in a static field, they couldn't communicate in the game and could only communicate in a group chat after logging off.

"Damn it, they're treating us like collectibles!!"

"Won't I be in jail forever?"

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Am I going to spend the rest of my gaming career in that guy's museum?"

"........."

Hogwarts players are furious.

Their characters are now trapped in a static field, unable to even commit suicide to revive.

Damn it!

Such a ridiculous thing can happen.

…………

Meanwhile, in Terra,

Qin Yun is still pushing forward with his reform policies.

The human empire's development was severely hampered by rampant corruption and bureaucratic drain, coupled with inefficiencies in communications and administration.

Once these problems were solved, the solar system developed at a rocket-like pace.

At the same time, the emergence of various innovative technologies has also unleashed productivity and significantly increased manufacturing efficiency.

Thanks to General Zhuge's efforts, the basic framework of the first space city has been completed.

The first area will be completed in half a month and will be able to accommodate 1.3 million people.

At that time, these people will be transported up and sent to their new homes.

The places where these people originally lived will be sealed off, and no one will be allowed to enter.
