Chapter 1834: Planet Eclipse Super Gene
Get ready for what? Han Sen asked. Having a planet to oneself should be a good thing, but Yishas tone didnt make it sound as if it was.
You are my student now, so I will take care of everything. But if you have your own planet, that means you will have to be on your own. I cannot take part in its development, and you will have to pay taxes. The numbers arent small, either. Yisha went on to say, Narrow Moon has a lot of planets, but the good ones have already been taken by the current Kings and Nobles. There arent many left to choose from. Only the poor and cheap planets, really. If you dont do a good job, make a lot of money, and pay the necessary taxes, it is likely that people will start laughing at you.
I dont want a planet. I just want to be with you, and have you teach me, Han Sen quickly said.
It would be difficult for Han Sen to find a backer with infinite resources like her. Who would want to give it up in exchange for ownership and residence on a no-name planet that wasnt developed?
Yisha looked at him coldly, and she said, You are Knife Queens student. I cannot allow you to hide away from hardships. Besides, this is a law for the Rebate. You are required to go there. If you embarrass me, and you are unable to pay your taxes, I will deal with you myself.
Han Sen feigned bitterness, and he said, Queen, I am just a Baron. I dont even have a helper. How am I supposed to develop a planet by myself?
Yisha laughed when she saw Han Sens expression. Dont worry! You wont have to pay taxes for the first three years. It is only then that the taxman will come calling. Starting from the fourth year onwards, you will have to pay. The taxes wont be staggeringly high, but the amount you must pay will increase year after year. You are my student, so of course I can help you with this.
And dont worry about the people. When you have ownership of a planet, you can recruit as many people as you want The Feathers have fallen, so many places are at war right now. It will be easy to nab a few of those. Yisha smiled.
Han Sen did not want to go to those planets, but she wasnt going to give him a choice in the matter. This was something he had to do.
Luckily, Yisha said she would still continue teaching him knife skills. It made him feel much better to know that she wasnt entirely letting him go.
Ghost Teeth Knife rejected me. Are his skills so talented it preferred him? But he is not of the Rebate, so how could he have learned the Teeth powers? Itd be good for him if he was able to. Yisha watched Han Sen as he left, and she retreated into thought.
Night River King, Black Steel and Han Sen received King class weaponry. They can both have a planet There arent many decent ones remaining, so what would you like to do about this? An officer brought out a planetary chart and displayed it in front of Night River King.
Night River King observed the chart and said. Give Black Steel Planet Scorpio.
Planet Scorpio? That is a planet with many mines. There are a lot of rare metals there, and the ecosystem is diverse and balanced. Once upon a time, Rocks Fall Duke offered a grand sum in the hopes of its purchase. And you didnt accept his offer for purchase. Black Steel is a very lucky person. The officer laughed.
Night River King smiled. Black-Moon King is a blacksmith of the Rebate. Black Steel is talented and has a King knife. He will be something big, in time. Providing him with this planet will be beneficial for the advancement of our race. It wont belong to him totally, though.
Good thinking, the officer said, with a bow. And out of the leftover planets, Planet Jadeshell is the richest. Shall we give it to Queens student Han Sen?
Night River King shook his head. I have matters to attend to there. Give him Planet Eclipse.
The officer, when he heard it, seemed stunned. My King, there are no mines there! There is no water, and neither are there any plants. There are xenogeneics lurking there, and the weather is awful. Considering the number of xenogeneics that are there, it would be difficult for any Viscount to etch out a living. A planet like this is for an Earl or above. Wouldnt it be too cruel to give it to Han Sen?
Night River King hummed, and he said, Planet Eclipse may only have xenogeneics, but it is rich with them. He is lucky to receive this special treatment.
After that, Night River King coldly laughed and said, Han Sen is not one of our kind. And his genes are not stable. We cannot afford to spend vast amounts of resources on him. If it wasnt for Queen, I wouldnt provide him a planet at all.
The officer gave a wry smile. Being sent to Planet Eclipse would be a far worse fate For Han Sen than being sent to a barren planet. Going to those poorer planets wouldnt be dangerous, but the same couldnt be said for Planet Eclipse.
According to the laws of the Rebate, Queen couldnt directly partake in the development of the planet. Han Sen needed to hire people himself. If he was unable to recruit folks of Earl rank or above, even getting started would be a monumental task. Anyone who went to that planet would be in perpetual danger.
Will Queen agree to this decision? the officer carefully asked.
I am in charge of planetary distribution. She cannot say anything about it. And if the boy has a problem with it, he can forget all about it, Night River King said coldly.
Planet Eclipse? Yisha, seeing what Han Sen was going to be given, frowned sternly. Her urge to help Han Sen was now greater than she expected it to be, and resisting it was difficult.
If Planet Eclipse was owned by a Duke or a King, developing it wouldnt have been too hard. But you would spend so much to earn so little, so no Duke in their right mind would want to go there. It could be a treasure for Barons and Viscounts, but they wouldnt have what it took to develop the planet.
Planet Eclipse was like a flavorless rib of chicken.
Night River King gave Han Sen Planet Eclipse to cause him trouble. That much was obvious.
And when Yisha explained the situation to Han Sen, she told him, If you do not want to go, it is fine. If you want, stay and learn some knife skills with me.
Yisha was too proud and arrogant to give up easily, but she didnt want to explain herself, either. If she told people she wanted to raise Han Sen up to be a Duke, the elites would probably help her. But Yishas personality made her despise the act of explaining things. If people tried to stop her, she would be driven to accomplish her tasks all the more.
After Han Sen heard about the planet he was to be given, though, his eyes shone. He bowed and said, Queen, I would like to go there!
Really? Yisha looked at Han Sen with shock. She had already explained the state of Planet Eclipse to him, but he still wanted to go. That was a surprise.
