Chapter 548 Variations
Yang Ming soon discovered that Act 10, "Initial Setback", Act 11, "Counterattack", and Act 12, "Establishing Authority", depicted a complete conflict event.
Levi Sherman, who has completed the first test of Twilight, is full of confidence and wants to integrate into the core circle of power in the ancient Inca Empire.
The problems Yang Ming faced were somewhat different from those when he first entered the Sherman Empire.
If Yang Ming wanted to set foot in the Sherman Empire, what he needed was to give himself a reputation, build an identity from scratch, and come into contact with those dignitaries.
Levi was originally the Earl of the town, and the method he chose was simple and crude.
Organize aristocratic gatherings.
At that time, Li had already established a business empire spanning more than a dozen large and medium-sized political entities, somewhat similar to Yang Ming's Miss Molly. Under Li's leadership, Levi's family also expanded many family businesses, and the family made profits year after year.
Levi bought the thirty-year use rights of a luxurious manor on the capital star of the ancient Inca Empire in a very high-profile manner.
Then, he gathered several young men and women from noble families who had always been on good terms with his own family, and held a three-day carnival in the manor. The actual scene of the carnival was broadcast nationwide.
Dozens of popular stars, countless handsome men and beautiful women, and fashion gurus came to this carnival just to attract attention.
Levi's nouveau riche behavior did not initially attract much attention from the nobles.
But after one carnival there was another. For two months, Levi spent a huge amount of money to organize aristocratic parties in his manor. He established his image as an aristocratic rich man through the spread of aristocratic and fashion circles. He also used himself as a template to dominate the forefront of fashion.
Levi's social circle expanded rapidly.
Those old nobles also began to contact this young and wealthy noble, and Levi's party became synonymous with luxury, fashion and power in the ancient Inca Empire.
This is how the aristocratic circle plays.
After Yang Ming saw the silhouettes of those parties, all that was left was a wry smile on his face.
Damn it!
They are all trendsetters of the same era, why is there such a big gap between them!
Levi started throwing large parties openly in his twenties, living a life of luxury every day. In this way, he was able to gain connections and voice in the aristocratic circle. In general, he expanded his business empire in this way and made money!
And I, who was working hard as a host on Yaha Star, had to work overtime even if I had nothing to do. I bought a large top-floor flat and wanted to enjoy myself, but that guy Grace found out my flaw.
"We are different, we are different."
Having not seen Grace for a while, Yang Ming missed himself as the vice president of the fan club.
Yang Ming continued reading.
Now comes the highlight.
Yang Ming still remembered that Levi mentioned a favored prince of 'my good man|wife'.
When the prince saw that Levi was doing well, he immediately said: I will not allow anyone to be more coquettish than me on the first star.
So, a targeted campaign began.
The prince first made some indirect comments on Levi's party, saying that there were some prohibited activities at Levi's party.
'Nobles should gather together to seek the light of humanity, rather than the pleasure of giving up humanity.'
These words themselves are not important; His Royal Highness the Prince’s attitude is what is most important.
When Levi's party was held again, it suddenly became deserted. Then law enforcement teams from several departments came at the same time and seized a large amount of illegal drugs at Levi's party.
This is actually something that is done by default at aristocratic gatherings, but it is obviously against the rules.
Levi was arrested and taken away for investigation. Levi's manor was temporarily closed. Levi was about to be tried by the noble court. One of the charges was a bizarre one - forcibly stuffing an organ into the alloy plate on the sole of the robot maid's foot against the girl's will.
The damage is not great, but it is extremely insulting.
The prince achieved his goal of humiliating Levi, but the prince's lackeys and followers began to beat the downed dog.
The Sherman family's businesses suffered setbacks one after another, with law enforcement teams constantly coming to conduct various inspections. They always found fault with everything and issued high fines that were not in compliance with the law.
The Sherman family's collateral descendants suffered a series of unexplained violent attacks, and several young people were even humiliated by the nobles.
Various media and fashion masters who were praising Levi's a few days ago either kept silent or began to redefine Levi's.
'He is just a clown.'
"Lord Levi should find his place. Fashion should not be defined by money, especially since his financial resources are almost exhausted."
No one would lend him a helping hand.
In the formal room of the noble court somewhere in the Prime Star, Levi lost control of his emotions for the first time.
He was like an angry young lion, and he happened to have short blond hair at the time; veins bulged on his neck, he kept growling and roaring, throwing the alloy chair to the ground, and could not calm down for a long time.
Then, Li's figure appeared on the dial of Levi's watch.
"Master, the loss is not that great. The most serious damage right now is not your reputation, but the confidence of these nobles in continuing to do business with us."
"I want the Sixth Prince's dirty laundry! Make him look bad for me! I want him to pay the price!"
"But Master, the Sixth Prince has countless scandals. What really keeps him standing is the emperor's favor... You should calm down for a while. This will put a lot of pressure on your cardiovascular system. You have been drinking and taking drugs for two months. Your health index is worrying."
"I'm fine."
Levi sighed, lowered his head and straightened the chair, sat on the bench in the detention room, slowly lay down, and used his arms to block his eyes.
Then, Levi sat up, and the light in his eyes returned.
"Li, I need a plan. I want to get rid of the Sixth Prince. He has become my biggest obstacle at the moment."
"At your command at any time."
The scene switched to the counterattack.
Levi prepared for this counterattack for half a year.
His family paid all kinds of fines in full, and he also reduced his business empire within the ancient Inca Empire and instead focused his assets on regimes with relatively stable political environments.
During the past six months, Levi and Li have made magical modifications to the simulated robots and created the first generation of simulated mechanical soldiers.
At this time, the City of Light had begun to take shape; in the territory of the Sherman family, a deep space port with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers was built, and a large shipyard was constructed.
What Yang Ming found interesting was that this large shipyard did not initially focus on producing main battleships, but instead began to produce cheaper and more practical "pirate battleships".
They began to control the black market trade, recruited those pirate groups, and became the largest pirate leaders in the airspace.
When Levi felt that he was almost prepared, he launched a full-scale counterattack against the Sixth Prince.
In order to avoid suspicion, Levi once again set foot on the first star of the ancient Inca Empire;
He began to date a prince's daughter and started an affair with her. He became less generous and was even photographed several times going to "unrefined" dining places with his rumored girlfriend.
At this time, Li began to launch the first wave of precision attacks against the Sixth Prince and his noble followers.
The Sixth Prince's trading group had its trade routes cut off by pirate gangs. After receiving a large sum of money, the vicious pirates still destroyed those merchant ships.
The arrogant pirate fleet began to harass the resource stars related to the Sixth Prince within the empire, and they would leave after bombing, disappearing without a trace in a short time.
At the same time, the financial capital controlled by the Sixth Prince was also targeted by foreign capital.
In just two galactic days, the "family fortune" that the Sixth Prince had worked hard to accumulate for more than 20 years disappeared into thin air and even became a negative asset.
However, this was only Levi's first wave of revenge, and the next one was the fatal blow.
Levi arranged for several simulated mechanical maids to enter the homes of several imperial ministers a few months ago.
These ministers all have one thing in common: their wives all have affairs with the Sixth Prince.
When the pirates began to plunder the Sixth Prince's merchant ship, a mechanical maid began to act synchronously, creating the scene of the suicide of the Deputy Minister of Finance of the ancient Inca Empire, and successfully deceived the police officer and detective investigating the case.
Soon, the suicide note began to appear on the Internet. This was of course a carefully forged note.
The deputy minister said that he could not stand such humiliation and could not accept that his wife was being abused by the Sixth Prince. He had developed a mental illness due to the Sixth Prince's long-term oppression and harassment and could end his miserable life at any time.
The Deputy Minister said:
'Once, two years ago, at the party preparing for the Emperor's birthday, it was held at the Sixth Prince's residence. The Sixth Prince asked me and six or seven other ministers to bring our wives to a small reception to discuss the final plan for celebrating the Emperor's birthday. The Sixth Prince mixed drugs into our wine, and we got drunk quickly. I didn't drink much, but I knew what he was going to do, so I could only pretend to be drunk. Then, he started to push our wives up one by one and make them lie on the table... You have no idea what I went through in those 26 minutes. All I could hear was the Sixth Prince's panting. He was a beast.'
The aristocratic circle of the ancient Inca Empire exploded instantly.
Everyone in the empire, from top to bottom, was curious about who the other officials were who attended that small meeting.
Soon after, two more imperial ministers were found to have committed suicide at home.
The empire was filled with outrage, and this matter could no longer be hidden from the eyes of the ancient Inca emperor.
However, if Levi had not added another blow, the Sixth Prince might not have really fallen, because the old emperor's attitude was not very firm, and he was still thinking about finding a way to defend his beloved son.
The knife was inserted very accurately.
Reason was omnipotent in the human network world of the Milky Way at that time. She began to investigate the Sixth Prince, who had no secrets that could be hidden.
The secret that had been hidden for many years by the Sixth Prince's mother, a powerful Imperial Noble Consort, was made public. The results of a paternity test from many years ago were disclosed by a media outlet. The results showed that the Sixth Prince was not the Emperor's biological son, but that the Imperial Noble Consort had used all means to bribe the testing agency in the palace.
The Sixth Prince disappeared overnight.
The entire ancient Inca aristocratic circle was under a gag order, and no one was allowed to talk about any secrets related to the Sixth Prince.
In fact, Li also found out that in the ancient Inca palace at that time, there were seven descendants of the ancient Inca emperor who were not his biological children, and the internal supervision system of the palace had long been out of order.
The seven princes and princesses were never seen again.
The last scene of Act 12 left a deep impression on Boss Yang.
The Sixth Prince, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, sat in a merchant ship, heading towards a distant country.
He was rescued by his mother on the execution platform. Now he has changed his appearance. All he needs to do next is to successfully leave the empire...
Levi, dressed in a formal suit, walked into the economy cabin.
Dozens of passengers in the cabin stood up tacitly, walked to the front and rear doors at the same time, and stood quietly outside the doors, blocking the front and rear passages.
"Hi."
Levi took off his hat and bowed slightly to the Sixth Prince.
"Your Highness, we meet again."
The scene in Act 11 comes to an abrupt end.
What's next?
Boss Yang frowned as he looked at the darkening scene, turned his head to look left and right, and found that his dormitory was tidy and empty.
No! What happened next? How did Levi deal with the Sixth Prince?
Who did you learn this method of fragmenting the passage from?
There is no need to leave blank space at this time! All the preparations in the previous part are just for this shiver!
Yang Ming gritted his teeth and decided to use his self-control. This time he would just endure it for six days and not load to the 60th scene. He would not even watch it even if Uncle Badoli was killed!
Yang Ming was so angry that he lowered his head and went to sleep.
However, by comparing it with "The Emperor's Biography", Yang Ming was able to roughly guess the direction of the subsequent story.
It's nothing more than how to conquer ancient Inca.
So, he spent four days doing nothing in the City of Light.
Yang Ming watched the first forty-four scenes in one breath, and felt relieved, but he soon fell into deep thought.
After the Sixth Prince disappeared, Levi kept a low profile for three years, and then began to openly pursue a princess of the empire who was about to come of age, with his virginity complex written all over his face.
Levi pursued princesses and won over powerful officials. He made arrangements in the aristocratic circle, won over a group of emerging aristocrats, and at the same time established his initial influence in the royal family.
During this period, Levi had been playing his own bandit-suppression drama, constantly brushing merit points in the imperial army system;
The third deep space port has been built, and the number of mechanical thinking bodies available in the City of Light has exceeded one million;
Even Levi's pirate fleet has more than 1,200 ships of various sizes.
Compared with the ancient Inca Empire, the military strength that Levi really possessed was already an "unbearable weight".
Then, Levy began his performance.
Levi's first target of conquest was the emerging regime closest to his family's base - a powerful enemy that had more than 2,000 main battleships and was eyeing the resources on the empire's borders.
He first used a pirate fleet to carry out continuous harassment of the country.
Initially, the regime did not pay enough attention and only sent out conventional mobile fleets to suppress the bandits. However, after several consecutive major defeats, the regime suddenly realized that the pirates targeting them had the strength to go to war with the regular army.
During this stage, the picture presented was that these pirates, under Levi's instructions, committed burning, killing, looting and all kinds of atrocities, and were just a group of villains.
The regime began to seek international assistance. Levi led his family's fleet to provide support, expressed his friendly side, and successfully helped the regime repel the pirate gang.
Just as both sides were about to begin celebrating, several ships of the regime suddenly opened fire on Levi's family fleet.
Levi's family fleet immediately counterattacked, and after paying a heavy price of dozens of ships, Levi's family fleet returned to its base.
This incident became an extremely serious political event.
Levi traveled around, and the ancient Inca Empire announced a crusade against the regime.
This crusade led to the collapse of the political system and accelerated the internal collapse of the ancient Inca Empire.
The only ones who benefited were Levi and the few new nobles he supported;
Relying on his superb ability to integrate battlefield resources, Levi also gained extremely high prestige in the ancient Inca Empire army and was called the "God General of the Empire".
This regime became an occupied zone of the Empire. Levi made some operations and became the governor of the occupied zone. The family fleet moved into more than ten administrative stars of the regime and began to expand blatantly.
At the same time, he continuously provided benefits to the imperial family, making some members of the imperial family tied to him.
With the help of this series, Levi married the princess when she just came of age.
On the night of the wedding, Levi let the innocent-looking princess taste what it was like to be a woman, and then implanted a chip behind her ear, making her gradually become an obedient puppet.
At the end of Act 44, Levi stood in his new flagship, watching the military review at the Governor's Palace outside the porthole, with a smile on his face.
"Li, we should go to meet the second test."
"Your goal has been achieved, Levi, but I don't think you are very happy."
Li asked softly:
"You have solved the external hidden dangers for the family and have become a powerful governor. Soon you will be canonized as the Grand Duke of the Empire.
"Isn't this your ideal that you told me in the dungeon?"
"That was my ideal at the time," Levi said, "Now I have a new ideal... We are already here, right? Now, we have thousands of warships and have become a powerful force that influences the imperial politics. In a few years, we can have even more."
"But, Master, while you are gaining these, you are also losing something. Sixty percent of your family members have already left the family residence."
"That's not important, Ri."
Levi stared at the starry sky, his handsome face, which had lost its childishness and had a stronger three-dimensional feel, slightly raised:
"I want to be the master of this starry sky."
"The only master."
Reason was silent.
