"What happened?"

"Your Excellency...you actually came to visit in person..."

"No need to be so formal, just call me by my name. We're all family, there's no need for those political formalities."

Jiang Wei looked around.

"I just had nothing better to do, so I came to see how Belloberg is doing lately."

Bronya's tense shoulders relaxed slightly.

She looked up, trying to make her voice sound natural.

Jiang Wei surveyed the interior of Cripper Castle.

This place is less like a royal palace in Belleburg and more like a busy office.

Reports and documents were piled up like mountains, and exploration equipment and astronomical instruments were placed haphazardly, making the whole space appear somewhat cluttered.

This slightly messy scene silently tells the story of Bronya's recent work status.

She was extremely busy.

"Sorry, I'll pack right away..."

Bronya lowered her head shyly.

"It's alright. Seeing this scene confirms that you are becoming a qualified Great Guardian."

"With you here, it won't be difficult for Belloberg to restore its former prosperity. Your future is the constellation of stars."

Jiang Wei's thoughtful words won Bronya's favor.

Bronya followed Jiang Wei, acting like a dutiful guide, introducing him to Berloburg's recent development plans and improvements in people's livelihoods.

As she spoke, she couldn't help but steal glances at Jiang Wei.

The attitude of the imperial governor really surprised her.

During both meetings, he remained so gentle, without the slightest hint of arrogance, which seemed unbelievable to her.

Bronya couldn't fathom why Jiang Wei would have time to visit Belloberg.

The war between the empire and the corporation was incredibly brutal.

Jiang Wei, however, had plenty of time and energy.

Not only were they not worried about the war situation, they also focused their attention on other things.

It seemed to him that the war between the empire and the company had long been over.

The company was merely clinging to life; the empire's victory was a foregone conclusion.

Perhaps... that really is the case.

Bronya maintained proper etiquette, slowing down slightly to follow Jiang Wei.

After leaving Kripperburg, walking through the streets of Belleburg, one can immediately feel the tremendous changes that have taken place in the city.

The once dilapidated neighborhood has been completely transformed, with infrastructure upgraded across the board, resulting in a leap forward in residents' quality of life.

Heaters used to ward off the cold wave are now piled up in the corners of walls and have become a thing of the past.

The bright sunlight shone on the paving stones, and a group of children ran around laughing, holding candied hawthorns.

The days of hunger are gone forever; now the dining table is laden with delicacies from all over the world.

Restaurants line the streets, and the aroma of steaming hot pot and spicy hot pot can waft far and wide.

The most striking change is undoubtedly the brand-new shops on the street.

The aroma of snacks from other interstellar civilizations wafted through the air, while clothing stores displayed avant-garde styles.

Foreign shops and local businesses brought unprecedented prosperity to Belleburg.

Thousands of years ago, this is how Beloborg connected with interstellar civilizations.

The magnificent scene of a thousand years ago has appeared in the impoverished Beloberg a thousand years later.

"Jiang Wei?"

A familiar voice came.

The robin stared in surprise at the figure before it.

She and Xi Lian were dispatching an imperial engineering team to oversee the reconstruction of the outer city of Beloborg.

Xi Lian blinked, a sly smile playing on her lips.

"How come such a busy person has time to go to the countryside?"

“My little Xilian has been going back and forth between Onfaros and Beloborg lately. What if she gets lost if I don’t check on her?”

"I'm not a child."

Xi Lian chuckled softly, shifting her gaze from Jiang Wei to Bronya.

Bronya's attention subtly shifted between Jiang Wei and Xi Lian.

Their familiar interaction made her suddenly realize that this seemed to be the Imperial Governor's family matter.

She hesitated, wondering if she should find an excuse to leave so as not to become a third wheel.

Jiang Wei seemed to sense her thoughts.

"Bronya, don't rush off. I have some suggestions to discuss with you."

Xi Lian winked at her playfully.

"That's right, the Great Guardian can't slack off and run away."

Bronya breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt embarrassed by her own overthinking.

Her cheeks felt slightly warm.

Chapter 116 The Floating Past

Xi Lian whispered something behind her back.

"Going to the countryside to investigate when you have nothing better to do?"

"Pretty much. I want to see how things are progressing in Belloberg. How can I know how it's going if I don't see it for myself?"

"You're a really nice person."

"What's the word?"

Jiang Wei put on a fierce look and reached out to grab Xi Lian and tickle her.

Xi Lian giggled and quickly broke free, running away in a flash.

At this moment, a robin mysteriously approached and slipped a photograph into Jiang Wei's hand.

He glanced at it and froze for half a second.

The photo shows three acquaintances.

Aglaia sits at the entrance of the orphanage, teaching some old women how to sew patches and new styles of clothing.

The orphanage was surrounded by ruins.

Bai E, a sunny and cheerful young man, was carrying a stack of bricks with a bright smile.

Behind him, Wan Di stood with a cold face, carrying a cement bucket and tools for building a wall.

"The initial reconstruction work in Onfaros has been completed, and some members of the Golden Family have volunteered to come to Belberg to help."

The robin made the suggestion.

"Want to take a look?"

"Okay, it's on my way anyway."

The orphanage seems to be a replica of Bronya's childhood home.

When Jiang Wei walked over, he found Clara repairing a robot there as well.

Several children surrounded her, occasionally handing her screws or mechanical parts.

Some of the larger mechanical parts require two or three children to lift them together.

Then a shadow covered them.

Bai Er chuckled and picked up the alloy part with one hand.

"This thing is a bit heavy, let me carry it."

The children shouted in unison.

"Brother Bai'e~"

"Yes, I am Brother Bai'e, who is always ready to help others. You can come to me if you encounter any difficulties!"

Wan Di urged him on from the side.

"Hurry up and get to work, there's still a lot to do."

"It'll take at least half a month, right?"

"Ten days isn't enough?"

I'll try to be as quick as possible.

Bai E turned his head and saw Jiang Wei and Xi Lian standing not far away, so he smiled brightly and waved to them.

Before he could say more, Wan Di grabbed him and dragged him away to work on the post-disaster reconstruction.

"Such energetic young people."

Jiang Wei sighed.

Only by seeing Bai Er can one truly understand what Caislana went through to transform from this sunny, cheerful boy into a cold-blooded avenger.

"On behalf of Belloberg, I thank the Empire for its help."

Bronya bowed to Jiang Wei with gratitude.

“Previously, our scientists believed that the energy coins could sustain Berloberg for 200 million years, but the latest research shows that this period has been greatly shortened to 20 years.”

"This shows that Bellberg is making rapid progress, and as the quality of life improves, daily energy consumption is also increasing."

A battery from modern society accidentally appeared on a primitive planet.

Savages who only knew how to make fire had no idea how to use batteries, so batteries became a kind of infinite energy source.

However, in modern society, batteries only need a few days to run out of power.

This is the principle behind classifying civilization levels based on energy consumption.

Clara is repairing the damaged robot.

It seems to be a short circuit caused by water accumulation; replacing a few parts should fix it.

After working for more than ten minutes, Clara looked up and saw that she was surrounded by a group of people.

She shrank back timidly, a hint of unease in her eyes.

"Excuse me... is there anything I can help you with?"

Clara was a beat slow to notice Bronya and quickly stood up.

"Great Guardian."

Just call me Bronya.

Bronya understood Jiang Wei's feelings.

She wiped the engine oil off Clara's face and introduced the people next to her with a smile.

"You know Robin and the others; you've been running into them quite often lately. This is Jiang Wei, the governor of the Empire's star sector."

Clara's breathing became erratic after hearing this.

"It's you... I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you."

"fine."
