He actually regarded this trip as relaxation in the midst of war.
No matter how great the pressure is, how great can it be? Even if those merchant guild forces have strong backing energy, they are just merchant guilds after all. They need to comply with laws to do business, otherwise they wouldn’t have reached the level of a merchant guild. So, if someone like him who is at the middle stage of the Star River makes an appearance, wouldn’t people give a bit of face?
As for the merchant guild that is also in the ’troublemaking’ ranks, it is precisely the merchant guild where Jia Yan wishes to buy advanced energy for games. I wonder if they are also among the arrogant and domineering?
"My lord, you see the fleet ahead. It is one of the merchant guilds that I find difficult to deal with. It is said that the power behind them is extremely astonishing, and among this merchant guild fleet, there is also a Galaxy-level presence."
Suddenly, that Stellar-level governor, who had been leading Jia Yan forward, pointed out to Jia Yan the fleet ahead, which was one of the fleets that he found difficult to deal with.
Jia Yan followed his gaze.
Indeed, it was a large fleet, a very powerful fleet. Each merchant ship was a hundred kilometers long, and what was even more terrifying was the flagship at the forefront, reaching a scary five hundred kilometers in size. It was undoubtedly the largest spaceship Jia Yan had seen since his reincarnation.
Of course, within this Central Starfield of the Milky Way, there must be no shortage of similar ships, perhaps many. But for Jia Yan, such a ship was already the most terrifying one he had seen in his life. The scientific technology involved in it, even if handed over to the Orion Arm for research, would probably take hundreds or even thousands of years to learn.
"Lord Jia Yan, our Insect Queen’s Power has also acquired the technology of these ships, but unfortunately, our accompanying ship research scholars all said they couldn’t learn it, and the technology is substandard. In the future, we can only buy some of these local ships. However, the energy consumption of such ships is extremely frightening, and it’s not profitable for us to buy them."
The Stellar-level existence explained again to Jia Yan.
Jia Yan nodded.
He didn’t care about technology or anything like that, and he didn’t think that science and technology had much significance in today’s era of strong ones. Of course, Jia Yan affirmed science. At least, he would attempt to use technology to solve some problems. However, some of the strong ones completely dismissed science and technology. For them, the era of the strong means only the strong can command respect. As for science, it should be used when applicable but to particularly encourage its development is not worthwhile.
Jia Yan had no other thoughts, but as a strong person, he had a bit of inherent resistance to science, which could potentially threaten the strong, and to the scientific era that might come in the future.
"What level is the strongest on this ship?"
Jia Yan didn’t ask much, just inquired about the other party’s strength.
"Early stage of Star River, not yet middle stage."
The Stellar-level governor answered.
"Hmm."
Jia Yan nodded and didn’t ask anything more, directly heading towards the direction where the ship was.
Regarding administration and making agreements or such, Jia Yan didn’t understand. He was not an expert.
As for any historical grievances between the two parties, Jia Yan didn’t want to interfere.
Presumably, his Stellar subordinate didn’t come to ask Jia Yan to talk about any administrative or historical reasons with the opposite party.
His purpose here was his fists.
In the era of the strong, this is quite understandable.
"Halt, who goes there!"
Suddenly, as Jia Yan arrived in front of that huge ship, a shockingly loud brainwave power sound emanated from within the ship.
Next, the owner of that enormous sound flew out from within the colossal ship.
It was a creature that looked like a leopard, entirely green, extremely bright.
Its arrival didn’t surprise Jia Yan.
Such a gigantic ship required a Galaxy-level presence to sit in charge.
"Your Excellency, who are you? What guidance do you have in approaching our merchant guild?"
The enormous green leopard flew up to Jia Yan and then his expression changed slightly. His attitude towards Jia Yan also shifted from its previous discontent to a slightly more courteous tone.
Because he noticed that Jia Yan’s power was stronger than his, a middle-stage Galaxy existence.
"I am the situated practitioner of the Insect Queen’s Power on this commercial star. I heard you are arriving, so I came to take a look. Is there anything our masters might have neglected?"
Jia Yan smiled slightly without showing a bad temper since they were about to collect ’tolls’.
In the interstellar, every commercial star or battle planet that has a situated practitioner needs to collect ’tolls’. This is not about the strength of the planet or about tyrannical regulations, but because in the interstellar, although the starry sky appears relatively smooth, there are still many troubles.
For example, there are countless fragments of meteorites in the starry sky. These little things seem normal, but if a gigantic spaceship were to speed through and hit these meteor fragments, many have protective mechanisms, but if one is careless, accidents can happen. This requires local planets or forces to constantly clean up, and this costs money.
And more troublesome issues are the distortions of space-time that appear on the paths, and the most terrifying is the sudden emergence of a black hole. This requires local forces to come forward to remind passing merchant ships and battleships to alter their course.
