Chapter 2 Boss, damn it!
Shengxia opened her eyes amidst a noisy mechanical sound. She looked at where she was. If she guessed correctly, this should be a long-distance starship, but she didn't know where its destination would be.
She glanced at the nameplate with her identity authentication written on it. This was something she had to do almost every time she went on a mission. Now, her nameplate only had her name written on it: Shengxia.
Well, I'm retired after all.
Naturally, you don't have to think about any messy things about the mission anymore.
Shengxia breathed a sigh of relief, and just as she was about to close her eyes and continue enjoying this rare leisure time, a flood of memories of this body suddenly flooded into her brain:
Shengxia (name changed by the Space-Time Bureau), 21 years old, orphan, no father and no mother, belongs to the Border Star Welfare Institute,
As a lucky person who finally got into the Federal Central Management College after a lot of hard work on the border planet, he was made a victim of the struggle between superiors at a young age because of his dissatisfaction with the work assigned by his superiors. He was exiled to the most chaotic planet "Wolker" on the border and served as the temporary planetary garrison commander.
It is worth mentioning that the previous commander was reported missing less than two weeks after landing on the planet, and it is still unknown whether he is dead or alive.
At the same time, as one of the representative extremely cold planets, 81% of the planet is covered by permafrost that cannot be mined or utilized. The remaining 15% is black mineral veins that cannot be mined, which are ugly and overbearing and run through the entire surface of the planet. Only about 4% of the land is usable, and the habitable area is less than 1%.
To put it bluntly, this is a planet that is like a temporary port of call. It would be a pity to lose it and useless to eat it.
As the temporary planetary commander, Shengxia had full control over the planet, but this was conditional on the planet remaining under the jurisdiction of the star region to which Shengxia belonged. This planet was a complex one, having been dubbed "a frenzied land of freedom," "a god-ruled, uninhabited nation," and "the horrific burial ground for planetary commanders."
In short, it is a no-man's land.
More importantly, the Federation has reserved its opinion on whether it should continue to provide citizenship to this planet. This means that this planet can rely on the people's uprising to become independent at any time, and the Federation does not care about it.
Anyway, in a nutshell: do whatever you want, it’s up to you, it’s up to you whether we are in charge or not.
Now, as a young person with little practical management experience, who is not valued and should not be welcomed, she is specially sent there as a temporary planetary garrison commander. Isn't this just asking for death?
Suddenly, Shengxia's angry curses were heard in the hibernation chamber of the starship:
"He Peng (boss), you uncle!!!"
Is this what it means to have no corresponding constraints? ! !
She quickly contacted the Time and Space Bureau's retirement office, but before she could even open her mouth to complain, her boss, He Peng, had already taken over the call and asked, "What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied with your retirement? Do you want to come back? You can still be rehired now. This is an opportunity I reserved especially for you."
"...You bastard!"
"Hey, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but is this your attitude of begging for help?"
At this moment, He Peng's voice sounded more and more like he deserved a beating in Sheng Xia's ears. However, He Peng not only did not apologize at all, but instead lectured Sheng Xia: "You have been working in the Space-Time Bureau for such a long time, and you are still so naive. Seriously, you should come back as soon as possible. If you come back now, maybe I will be so conscientious that I can approve you a leave."
"You bastard, you deserve to die of old age at your post."
He Peng felt a sharp pain in his heart after hearing this, and began to uncontrollably retort to Sheng Xia: "Scold, keep on scolding, hey, I'll make myself a cup of tea and listen to you continue scolding. Anyway, after you finish scolding me, don't you still have to submit your re-employment application? Think about the consequences of scolding me now. Hey, how is this retirement journey? Is it exciting? Surprising? Happy?"
"Fuck you!"
Shengxia was so angry that she cut off contact. He Peng was about to curse back, but when he realized the connection was broken, he thought it was because the communication channel established by the Space-Time Bureau was unstable. He subconsciously contacted Shengxia again: "Tell me, when are you planning to come back? Do you want to work hard for a while before coming back, or do you want to come back now? If you come back now, I can report to give you some time to rest."
"Reply to your uncle, you bastard."
The connection was cut off again. He Peng finally realized that it was Sheng Xia who took the initiative to cut off the connection with him. He looked at the communication device in his hand with an unbelievable look on his face.
Great, now Shengxia has the guts to cut him off directly?!
Okay, then he will wait and see how long Shengxia can be so arrogant. Humph, just wait and see who will have the last laugh.
At the same time, although Shengxia was extremely angry, he quickly sorted out his thoughts. Chasing after that bastard and scolding him would not help the current situation at all.
And Bie Sun was sure that if she couldn't handle this planet, she would definitely contact him to complete the rehire.
Thinking of this, Shengxia quickly established an absolute belief in herself: no one can stop her from retiring.
Even this planet known as the "burial place of planet commanders" cannot do that.
Let's start with the basic situation of "Planet Volk" and sort out the countermeasures. Just as I finished thinking this, the voyage starship was about to jump to the star gate and reminded Shengxia that she needed to return to the hibernation chamber to sleep. Shengxia looked at the starship's prompt helplessly, thought about it again and again, and finally couldn't hold back and called the Space-Time Bureau again.
"Hey, you contacted me again faster than I thought. Are you ready to call back?" This time, the person who answered the phone was He Peng again.
Midsummer is not polite at all:
"Son of your uncle, you bastard, may you be bound to your position forever."
After cursing, she cut off contact and made up her mind at the same time. Anyway, the contact with the Space-Time Bureau would continue in her life. Then, if she was in a bad mood in the future, she could just call back and curse this bastard to vent her anger. It was mental torture. Come on, let's see who can endure it longer.
I don't know how long it took,
When Shengxia was awakened again, her long-distance starship was not far from the planet Walker. Looking at the planet from afar from the starship, it was indeed... the more she looked at it, the worse it was. It was basically a planet sealed by white-gray ice and snow.
The planet's exterior revealed its vast permafrost, not to mention the ugly, unminable black mountain ranges running through it. Even more bizarrely, the planet's introduction system on the starship explained, "It's summer on the planet, the most habitable time of year, with a surface temperature of 17 degrees Celsius."
Summer, seventeen degrees Celsius... such a niche text.
Taking a deep breath in midsummer, it suddenly popped into my mind that the surface temperature might be very suitable for developing a summer resort industry?
"Due to the favorable temperature, we should be aware of the increasing activity of various types of theft, robbery, and vicious criminal groups. We can declare a planetary emergency wartime state and deploy military forces to suppress them."
The army, suppressing criminal gangs???
Shengxia's recent summer vacation plan was aborted, but this was not the most devastating thing for her. Take a look at the current evaluation of the planet Volker in the entire star region:
[The planet Volker doesn't support idlers, kind people, or people without a life. You can die, but you must die a great death, such as killing the newly appointed planetary commander.]
[Planet Volker - the human garbage collection center for the entire star region]
[Out of twelve months in a year, Volk Planet can be cold for thirteen months. Of course, I'm not just referring to the weather, but also the body of the planet's commander.]
Is there really no one to manage these paramecium-like creatures? They just send us low-level labor.
[Just bear with it for another four months, and when the severe cold season arrives, these paramecium will go back.]
[Does the Federation still want to support this planet? I think we should let them become independent sooner rather than later.]
[The people are simple and honest in Volker, and talented people are emerging in the garbage dump]
【City of Sin】
…
"According to the latest demographic data, the fertility rate of the residents of Planet Volk has fallen to 0.63. According to incomplete statistics, the remaining population will be halved in the next forty years."
"The three main economic pillars of Planet Volker are labor exports, arms, and addictive drugs."
"As a free foreign trade window for the Federation, Planet Volker has several policies that facilitate free trade. The following policies are currently being implemented:"
Speaking of this, Shengxia couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. City of trade?
If it's done right, after glancing at the foreign trade deficit of Volker Planet in recent years, Shengxia felt disheartened again. Wow, the trade deficit has lasted for decades, and the scale of the deficit (loss) is expanding year by year. This wave is really because I introduced policies, but all the money was earned by the surrounding star field forces, and I still have to smile and clap my hands and ask them to come back next year to make more money. It's really frustrating.
"The Federal Law Enforcement Office reminds you that due to the innocent disappearance of the previous planetary commander, we recommend that you gradually increase prison and military spending in the new year's fiscal budget to avoid a similar situation."
High-pressure policy? Haha, Shengxia looked at this suggestion and thought that it was a special suggestion given by the Federation because they thought she was not dying fast enough, because no matter from which aspect of society you look at the current planet Volker, there is only one word to describe it: terrible.
The planet commander's horrific tomb lived up to its reputation.
Suddenly, a communication request came from the starship to connect with the ground base. Shengxia answered the call while looking at the information. A middle-aged man's voice came from the other side with a slightly flattering tone:
"Hello, are you the newly assigned commander from the Federation? My name is Wei Jie, and I'm in charge of this visit. Please follow these coordinates to enter the ground base. By the way, how many people are accompanying you?"
When this matter was brought up, Sheng Xia noticed that the boss of this planetary plane was just like He Peng's boss. Generally speaking, if a new temporary planetary commander was appointed, he would generally prepare an accompanying group of about ten people to help connect with the local situation on the planet, so that the commander could take control of the entire planet as soon as possible.
But this time, the boss didn't send anyone to her. He was really not afraid of doing things to the extreme. Could it be that he really thought that she would disappear from this planet quietly like the previous planet commander?
Thinking of this, Shengxia turned around and went to find the corresponding weapons area on the starship and selected the corresponding weapons. In response to the inquiries from the planet's receptionist Wei Jie, Shengxia also said frankly that since she was taking office temporarily this time, the Federation only sent her here, and as for the accompanying team, they could just use the ones from last time.
"Um, you, alone?"
You can tell that Wei Jie's voice is hesitant.
"Why, do you have any other questions?"
Shengxia took a second to get into the serious mood, and Wei Jie immediately replied: "No, then... well, when do you plan to summon the previous commander's entourage?"
"ASAP."
At this moment, the long-distance starship system issued a reminder: prepare to enter the corresponding docking port, and asked Shengxia to immediately return to the hibernation cabin to prepare for entry.
However, just as Shengxia was walking across the corridor bridge of the long-distance starship, she noticed through the boundless windows of the starship that near a tall tower building not far from the ground base... with a loud bang, flames shot straight into the sky. It seemed that a huge explosion had occurred there?
The fire was so far away that it seemed like it could burn over at any time.
