System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 697 - 311: This Is Just F***ing Unreasonable! (Requesting Monthly Votes)
The "Kasha Civilization Federation" is composed of nearly ten thousand Level 1 civilizations, more than two hundred Level 2 civilizations, and the Level 3 Kasha Civilization.
The area spans about ten thousand light-years.
Occupying an extremely large region, almost all mining rights of the mineral planets within this region belong to the Kasha Civilization. A small mineral planet contains at least a trillion units of resources, and given the long history of the Kasha Civilization, the accumulated resources are unimaginably vast.
Yes.
There are indeed quite a few parasites within the Kasha Civilization.
But the premise for parasites is that the granary must be full; without a full granary, it’s hard to have parasites.
Though things happened unexpectedly.
Not to mention the Insect Race Civilization, even the Kasha Civilization was caught off guard, but the upper echelons quickly made a decision.
Fight.
It’s impossible to stand by and watch the entire Western Military District be annihilated, as that would be extremely dangerous for the Kasha Civilization. Since they can’t be called back, they must fight.
In battles between top civilizations, there is no small-scale probing.
Once war breaks out, it’s almost a decisive battle. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Until one civilization is completely annihilated.
When the leaders of the "Kasha Civilization" decided on the order, this long-dormant machine began to slowly operate, and all civilizations entered Level 1 war readiness.
Resources began to be audited and summarized.
The army began to expand in recruitment, and the government forces of Level 2 and Level 1 civilizations were all forcibly conscripted.
The public began to volunteer for enlistment.
All production lines started working overtime to produce strategic essential materials like flowing water.
In this background.
Chen Mang set out.
...
In the vast universe, the Fixed Star sailed through the darkness, with countless stars dotted on the distant, night-like black curtain.
Behind it followed more than thirty high-grade trains.
These trains belonged to the "Philia Pirate Group." Being called a group naturally implies more than one train, with the highest-grade train being the Pulupulu’s vehicle.
The "Akanon Energy Light Energy Main Cannon" is Level 100.
The Energy Defense Shield is Level 40.
This level of configuration is almost negligible in front of the Fixed Star, but looking at the entire universe, it’s considered a very strong pirate force. The "Philia Pirate Group" is ranked twenty-third on the Federation’s Wanted List.
This shows their strength.
"The bounty amount, 97.8 billion units of iron ore."
"A bit too little."
Chen Mang, sitting on the chair, glanced at the Wanted List information on his wristwatch and turned his head to Pulupulu beside him: "What did you do to make the Kasha Civilization put such a large bounty on you?"
"It’s not like that."
Pulupulu shook his head and explained: "This Wanted List was not issued by the Kasha Civilization but by a powerful Level 2 civilization; it’s a civilian list, and the bounty amount wasn’t paid by one person."
"For example, if you want to bounty someone, you just need to take a sum of iron ore, contact this organization, and hand over the iron ore to the organization, and then you can start the bounty."
"The organization will take a 10% cut."
"Which means if you put up 10 million, the actual bounty amount is only 9 million."
"When someone completes a bounty task, they can go to this organization with evidence to claim the bounty, and the organization will hand over the accumulated bounty to you."
"Collective bounties are possible."
"So the pirates with larger bounties on the rankings are basically being simultaneously wanted by many people."
"I see." Chen Mang said thoughtfully: "So you have quite a few enemies, 97.8 billion units of iron ore, probably contributed by several forces, right."
"Well..."
Pulupulu coughed lightly with a bit of pride: "In this business, reputation is key."
"It’s not just the high risk of robbery and killing but the low profit."
"We mainly rely on reputation, making the big families in the region voluntarily pay us protection fees, and this reputation has three points."
"The first point is credibility."
"A pirate with credibility is worthy of everyone’s trust, so they believe after paying protection fees, you won’t go back on your word and raise prices at will."
"The second point is method."
"There must be rumors spread about your ruthless methods so that everyone fears you."
"The third point is prestige."
"I put up 50 billion on myself; combined with the 47.9 billion units of iron ore accumulated over the years, I secured the 23rd position on the Wanted List, which is prestige. Holding this position is enough to prove my strength."
"In our line of work."
"The cash flow is sufficient, and 50 billion is manageable."
"..."
Chen Mang looked at Pulupulu with a slightly unusual expression: "You seem quite proud of your past pirate life?"
"Love the job you do."
"Moreover, I’m quite good at it, not bad."
"Why don’t you put up some more and make yourself number one on the list to increase your prestige?"
"That won’t do."
Pulupulu shook his head: "Prestige can have a certain amount of embellishment, but if it’s too much and doesn’t match your strength, it will bring many crises, like bounties from hunters, or even from that organization."
"That organization often hunts high-ranking pirates on the Wanted List, issuing bounties on themselves, profiting from both ends."
"The twenty-third position is just right."
"It has a certain prestige, but not so much that it attracts the attention of certain people in the shadows."
Chen Mang nodded silently, after exchanging a few more words, he told Pulupulu to contact him directly if anything came up, and then he watched Pulupulu’s back with some slight sentiment.
