It was the next morning, and in the Chen family mansion, the long-lost family banquet was unfolding like a battlefield as before.
Every meal at home is bound to be lively and bustling as usual. With Shandora's meal schedule in town, you can imagine how busy it is. Although Lin Xue did not come over to eat today due to various reasons, it does not affect it at all.
Happy at the dinner table.
There are three meals every day, breakfast, lunch and dinner. This is the most lively moment in our family. Many important decisions related to the development of the world's security empire are made in the atmosphere of braised pork elbow, onions, eggs, red wine and three fresh steamed buns, and today is no exception.
"So, you plan to open the world hub and hold the most powerful... sports meeting in history?"
"Yes, that's right, Arjun, Arjun, what's the idea? It would be fun if we all come together to play!"
"...Actually, you just thought of letting everyone play together!"
I looked helplessly at my girlfriend in front of me. The nervous girl was doing a project that she thought was quite interesting: mixing all kinds of seasonings into her bowl, and then trying hard to put the cold noodles in it.
The things she tosses turned into balls of wool, and the idea of "let's all play together" was just something she said casually. Similar proposals can produce double-digit numbers per second in her head that is always running at high speed.
Quantity, but it seems that this proposal is one that she has really taken seriously. The remarkable feature is that thirty seconds have passed, and Qianqian still remembers it.
The origin of this topic was that I accidentally mentioned the mercury lamp and wanted to invite friends from my own world to come and play. The intermediate process was omitted, and the result was Qianqian who just jumped out and said: "How about we simply open the space-time hub and let everyone come and play together?"
!”
...Only the magical Qian Qian can jump directly from the cause to the result while ignoring the thinking process, right?
"I said, Qianqian, are you sure you know what you are talking about?"
"I know!" A certain out-of-mind girl rolled the condiment + cold noodle mixture in the bowl into a large stick with a fork and brought it to her mouth, grinning innocently at me.
Chun Yi smiled and said, "Let's all come and play together. Jaina, Sylvanas, Novia, Muro, um, Renault, Zeratul and Kerrigan from the Vidis Empire also want to play together."
Invite, and then Shana, Yagami, Lianna, C.C, Saten and others will also come... There are many people who also want to invite. It has been a long time since everyone got together. Every day, apart from fighting, I also put out fires everywhere. I am always nervous to death.
, now the Protoss has finally come to help. I heard Lilina said that this way the Protoss will put a lot of defensive energy on our side. In this way, the fallen apostles and the abyss will definitely be peaceful for a while, and we will have a chance to rest.
Oh, so I thought about how to make it lively. It just so happens that Xiaodeng wants to invite his friends to come over to play, so why don’t we invite the others too!"
Qian Qian's speech was messy. Even if her thoughts were organized into a language we can understand, it would not be easy to smooth them out. However, I understood a lot of what she meant: My girlfriend has been saving the world because of her
But I felt bored, so I wanted to have some fun.
As the mistress of the empire, she plays such a powerful role, of course her means of having some fun cannot be ordinary:
Let’s gather the heroes and emperors from thousands of worlds to hold a cultural festival!
Seeing that her words made everyone around her fall into deep thought, and it seemed to have an effect, Qian Qian put a happy smile on her face, raised the "stick" in her hand and stuffed it into her mouth. Next
Within seconds, she burst into tears.
"Wow! It's so spicy! It really doesn't taste good when eaten like this!"
What do you want me to say? This has been Qianqian's problem since she was a child. As an off-line king whose thinking is often off track, she can't sit still when eating. As long as there is a chance, she will try all kinds of things.
In our opinion, the way to eat it is unbelievable, such as the "stick" dough which is probably 50% occupied by chili sauce.
"Shandora, I'm sorry to bother you."
The cold noodles poured with unknown amounts of various chili sauces are no longer edible for humans. After finishing the glass of water handed over by Anweina, Qian Qian decisively pushed her "stick noodles" to Sandora
In front of her, the latter had just finished adding the fourth bowl of rice and the third bowl. She didn't even look at the strange food that Qian Qian pushed towards her. She opened her mouth and took a few bites, only to have half of the plate left.
Sandora is called the conqueror at the dinner table. This is no joke. Basically, anything we don’t like will be given to her. This big eater who never refuses anything means that we never have to worry about the disposal of leftovers.
The problem is, in most cases Anweina and Seiko don't even have to think about washing the dishes - everyone knows that, so I won't go into details. Anyway, the rumor that our family runs a small ceramics factory is not false.
As an extremely noble queen, I really don’t know how to complain about Shandora’s way of foraging. Anyway, I have a feeling now that Shandora has been regarded as a trash can for food disposal. Although looking at Shandora,
Dora herself seemed to be enjoying it very much.
"Ajun, maybe you should consider Qianqian's proposal."
Just when I was still thinking about the connection between Her Majesty the Queen and the dining table trash can, Shandora had already finished her fifth batch of food in a hurry, while Anweina was busy serving her rice.
, Her Majesty the Queen said to me very seriously, "The Space-Time Administration has the design load to carry such high traffic for a short period of time. Now that there are more and more vassal races in the empire's area, it seems necessary to let them have a gathering."
."
I wiped the oil on Little Bubble's face while casting curious eyes to the opposite side. Sandora must not have finished speaking yet. Her expression is very serious now: this is rare when she is in a eating state.
of.
"Look, Arjun, the empire's ruling area is gradually expanding now. The Xiling Empire, which can expand colonial stars at any time, has always established its ruling area in this way: we occupy or create several colonies as bases in some worlds.
Planet, station elite troops to control the time and space transportation authority of this world, and then establish imperial authority among the indigenous people of this world, and recruit local armed forces as servants. This is equivalent to establishing absolute constraints on the entire world. Let me explain here:
The sole right to transport time and space, absolute military power, and civilized authority among the indigenous residents are basically the three elements that determine the ruling power of all interdimensional civilizations. Therefore, the number of worlds we occupy now has reached a plurality, and there are also more
As it continues to expand, more and more servant armies of various races obey the orders of the empire. These races are very brave and are warriors who can protect their homes after experiencing the baptism of civilization. However, they come from various worlds and lack the necessary understanding of each other.
, before contacting the empire, even half of them did not know the existence of parallel universes. This is very detrimental to our rule and seriously weakens the combat effectiveness of the servant army. If an interdimensional war occurs, these races that have never contacted each other will only
can fight independently, so we must use ourselves as a platform to allow these races from all over the world to expand exchanges and spread their culture, beliefs, ideas, and history to each other - this is the most important, the history of a race can often explain
There are many things that cannot be logically inferred, such as unique fighting methods and daily taboos.
Through the exchanges between races in various worlds, the empire's servant army can quickly understand how the army of another world fights and how the power system of another world should be applied. This will make their fighting methods more perfect. For example, we are already trying
Of: Let the mentally powerful psychic masters of Protos get inspiration from the World Magic Network in the world of Azeroth, and equip each tauren shaman with a totem pole with an interstellar alloy base and a laser drilling machine. This will
These are all preliminary attempts, but they have already achieved remarkable results. The combat flexibility of those armies has almost doubled. As mentioned briefly, the civilian channels of the Space-Time Administration were used to hold events organized by the empire.
Large-scale exchange activities will be more efficient than the small fights we are trying now. I believe those racial leaders will seize the opportunity in such exchanges. Every race under the protection of the empire has been working hard to express itself.
importance, especially for those weak servant armies."
Shandora said so much, which already made me feel dumbfounded. Although a puppet next to me holding a yogurt bottle and making noises couldn't understand anything, she knew that this was a good opportunity to complain, so she immediately joined in.
He came over and muttered: "Hey, stupid humans, this is the difference between a real queen and an upstart."
Damn it, I can’t refute this little doll’s evaluation at all!
As expected of Sandora, even the foodie who turned into an evil ghost at the dinner table could exude the demeanor of a far-sighted and powerful queen. In just a few words, Qian Qian said, "Let's all play together."
The idea of world peace has been raised to the level of world peace. The way of thinking of ordinary people like me is indeed different. Okay, Anweina, give me another bowl of rice, and I will feel free to be a freeloader.
"Well, it turns out there is such an important reason," Qian Qian grabbed the chopsticks and turned the noodles into sticks again, but this time the color of the noodles looked more normal, "But I think we just let everyone play together.
, do you need to be so serious? It’s all boring.”
"This is very important," unexpectedly Sandora showed a very solemn expression, "because Arjun made me realize a lot of things, and it also made me finally learn the lessons of the past: no one in the old empire had ever thought of these aspects.
, we also had servant civilizations, but they were all treated as cannon fodder and numbers based on the principle of efficient utilization. No one has ever thought about the power those weak civilizations can produce. Arjun said before that this kind of ruthless iron-fisted rule is basically
It's just something that an idiot would do. Now I really realize his foresight. In these few wars, he allowed me to see the power that a weak race can burst out that I never thought of before. So I can never do it again.
Following the wrong path left over from the old empire, we have fallen into a whirlpool of arrogance at the end of the empire, and it is not too late to wake up now."
I was listening to the side, and my face was almost lost: "Ahem, girl, I'm not that great, you are really... Viska, please bring my recorder, Sandora, can you say it again?
"
Lilina, who was sneaking over to steal the mercury lamp cake, fell under the table with a clang.
I didn't expect Qianqian's proposal to make Sandora think of so many things, and the originator of the proposal certainly didn't expect it. However, Her Majesty the Queen's analysis is undoubtedly quite correct. That far-sightedness comes from hundreds of millions of years of accumulation.
Just like his appetite, it is far beyond what we mortals can look up to. As a result, we really have to take this seriously.
Time passed, and at noon that day, the living room at home was still in the middle of the meal.
According to Qianqian's initial plan - that is, let's all play together - plus Sandora's considerations, and then briefly negotiated with several world representatives in the Shadow City, regarding this time using the empire as a platform, all worlds
The activity of leaders’ exchange was initially divided into several levels.
The first is the various world forces that have become affiliated races of the empire. They are the main figures of the gathering, and they are also the actual fighting force of the empire. The top leaders of these people will definitely come to participate. A group of emperors, generals, ministers and demigod heroes can take the opportunity to get to know each other better.
In other worlds, they would be equivalent to special guests at the event.
Then there are the macro worlds registered in the Space and Time Administration. Although the power of the empire has penetrated into these worlds, they are all non-public. They are not empire-controlled areas, and the civilians there do not know what parallel worlds are. But those worlds
The dark side forces have already come into contact with the inspectors of the Space-Time Management Bureau. The former may not be very clear about the terrifying behemoths behind the dark forces that suddenly appeared in their world, but I am afraid they can feel them more or less.
The power of the censors just takes this opportunity to allow some lucky people who have passed the censors' review to collectively come to the Shadow City and other spaces that may be opened along with them to see with their own eyes the huge power of the empire.
In the words of Dora: This is beneficial to our rule. These people who are not a fighting force but are still under the influence of the Empire can be considered the civilian class in the event.
Then there is the consideration of the form of the party. Qianqian means holding a party... My sister has a special liking for sports games. Lilina plans to conduct a sermon to hundreds of millions of people. Sister Pandora launched it with great enthusiasm.
During the seven-day military recruitment plan, even Little Bubble was happily snuggling for a long time, holding up a lollipop and dancing. According to the wet nurse’s sparkling simultaneous translation, this little guy hopes to open a special event for children, and the theme activity is candy.
The purpose is to cultivate the spirit of unity of the next generation of the empire's subordinate races, and to forge in advance the diaper age friendship of the boys and girls who will save the world in the future - they are indeed outstanding members of the empire's royal family, with a three-year-old IQ that can help them from a political perspective.
The majority of little brats are seeking welfare, but what about this terrible sense of being defeated by their own daughter in the political field? Am I not even as far-sighted as Little Bubble? Soul Dan!
"Ahem! Listen to my opinion."
It seems that Sandora has something to say. Is this foodie going to organize a dinner party that lasts for half a year and has tens of millions of participants?
That scene can forcefully destroy an entire kingdom! Not everyone can eat anything like you, baby!
"Arjun, the meaning in your eyes is too rich, can I ignore it?"
I was immediately complained about by Her Majesty the Queen, who was connected to me.
"I mean, this isn't just a party, I want this to become some sort of ritual, or festival!"
"It's not realistic to do it once a year. We can hold a biennial or quadrennial celebration of the worlds. This will be a common festival for all the worlds in the empire's area. It will also be a gathering date for the dark side characters in the macro world. It will not be held at once.
Forget it, then, since it is a festival, what activities should be held during the festival should not be too monotonous. Leaders from all walks of life and their cultural representatives can be summoned to hold unique or united and cooperative celebrations based on the actual conditions of each world.
Event, everyone, this is a grand event. It is also an opportunity to demonstrate the power of the empire's revival and improve the morale of the armies of all realms. It is not just a cultural exchange, nor can it be limited to the military level. Our goal is to make the empires of all realms vassals.
They get a chance to fully understand their brothers from another world - well, I'm done, Anweina, have another bowl!"
There was silence all around, except for Her Majesty the Queen, who was chewing at her desk.
Well, Sandora, you won. I should say that you are indeed worthy of being a ruler. Any small opportunity can be magnified by you to this level, and I can't find anything to doubt it!
"that……"
Suddenly I felt my sleeves being gently tugged. I looked down and saw a little doll pulling on my clothes. There was confusion on the raised little face: "You stupid human beings, I can still call Xiaohui and the others."
Come and play?”
It turned out that I was worried about this, but then I suddenly remembered: Damn, we were originally discussing letting friends from the mercury lamp come to play at home! How come this has happened in the past half day! Could it be that when we were discussing things?
Can't there be a time when the building is not crooked?
"sure!"
I patted the little girl's silky silver hair and said, "Let them envy and hate you even more!"
"By the way, in this case, preparations for the celebration should be put on the schedule," Sister-sama, who had not spoken much, seemed to think of something at this time, "When will we open the space-time hub?"
"Well, with the construction speed of the hosts and the efficiency of the Xiling Apostles, the preparation time does not require much advance, but the Empire has never had the experience of holding such a celebration, and it may be necessary to let the leaders of various races communicate in advance...
It's still early, now it's just a proposal. We can first prepare to receive the special envoys of the gods. They have a wide range of believers and may have some experience. It's rare for them to send two gods who can do business, so why not work as coolies for a while?
