Nuo An didn't understand why it was a good thing for someone to have ideas about W Star. That was because he had no idea what Ye Ruisheng was thinking.
When Ye Ruisheng went to find Jinchu, Jinchu was teaching Guozi how to fly: "Fly higher, more steadily... faster, faster... slower, slower... Hey, fly in a straight line, don't go crooked."
When Jinchu saw Ye Ruisheng, his eyes sparkled: "You're back!"
Guozi also stopped immediately and turned to "look" at him.
Ye Ruisheng didn't know where its eyes were, or which part of its skin it used to see, but the action of turning around and looking was so vivid.
He couldn't help laughing, but when he looked at the ground again, he saw a lot of prey, some of which had been gutted and roasted beyond recognition. It was obvious that he had wanted to feed himself, but failed.
So, these two are so enthusiastic because——
"Ye Ruisheng, come and grill the meat quickly!"
As expected, Ye Ruisheng felt like he was raising two hungry little animals. The expectant gazes begging for food reminded him of a phrase he had seen somewhere: a sweet burden.
Ye Ruisheng was jealous of himself. But that was exactly how he felt.
He reached out and caught the green fruit flying towards him, letting it rub against him affectionately for a few times. He then sat down next to Jin Chu and said, "Didn't I teach you how to roast it?"
"I can bake it, but it's just not as delicious as you make it." Jin Chu said confidently, "If you want to eat it, then don't eat it. If you want to eat it, then eat the best. How can you just mess around?"
He didn't eat because he was hungry, he just came for the enjoyment!
Ye Ruisheng paused while adding firewood to the fire and said to Jin Chu, "Then I'll make you whatever you want to eat from now on."
"Okay, okay."
Jin Chu was very satisfied that he had found a chef with excellent cooking skills. If Ye Ruisheng hadn't told him himself, he wouldn't have known how to start the conversation, after all, the chef was a very busy man.
Ye Ruisheng was also very satisfied, but he felt a little pressured because the appetite of this man and this fruit was too big.
Not long after, Jinchu was able to eat delicious barbecue and Japanese sweets, sharing a piece with each other. They were so satisfied.
Ye Ruisheng noticed that the prey Jinchu had caught were all ordinary, small animals. He said, "Actually, these wild game may have firmer meat than farmed ones, but they also have a stronger smell and aren't as clean. When we get back, I'll take you to a real barbecue restaurant."
Those kinds of shops all have their own farms. For example, they have a clean hillside with several clear streams where they can roam freely. In addition to growing large tracts of pasture for them, they also regularly feed them good food, give them regular checkups, and administer deworming medication. The resulting mutton is healthy, tender, and white, with some reddish-brown hues that look especially delicious.
Jinchu drooled as he listened: "Is it better than these?"
"Of course."
Jinchu counted on his fingers: "But the training camp will not end until more than ten days." He really wanted to go back and eat meat quickly!
Ye Ruisheng laughed and said, "Don't you think it's not a good idea to round up a bunch of sheep like this and raise them to drink blood and eat meat when they grow up?"
"What's not good? What's wrong?"
“Like, it’s not fair to the sheep.”
Jin Chu asked him cautiously: "Have you been stimulated by something?" Would a normal person have such thoughts?
Ye Ruisheng was speechless. Okay, his question was indeed stupid, but in order to understand Jin Chu's thoughts, he would just let it be stupid.
"There's no fairness or unfairness in eating meat. Aside from people like me who can get full just by basking in the sun, who doesn't eat meat, whether it's other animals or you humans?" Jin Chu said seriously. "Isn't it normal to keep animals in enclosures to eat more and better meat?"
He thought this was a good idea. None of his friends at home were willing to do this. They all had huge appetites and spent a lot of time hunting every day. But when you asked them to gather around a place and raise a group of their favorite small prey to eat slowly, they still refused, saying that hunting was not fun.
Then when food becomes scarce in winter, there will always be a few that will go hungry. Even very powerful exotic beasts will be helpless in winter, as not all of them can run to the other side of the planet to catch up.
In this regard, humans are much more advanced.
Ye Ruisheng looked at him and said, "If it's just a fenced-off area with a group of animals, it's nothing. There are many examples in the empire of people using entire planets as pastures. For example, hundreds of years ago, someone discovered a reptile called earth dragon living on an asteroid. The meat of earth dragons is very delicious and has high nutritional value. It also has beauty effects, and their brain marrow can be extracted to produce a substance that enhances memory.
So those people reported the planet. As the first discoverers, they paid a relatively low price to privately own the entire planet. Afterwards, they developed the land on the planet, built a breeding base, and killed all the threatening large earth dragons and other beasts, thus domesticating the earth dragon species. Do you think this is normal?"
As Jin Chu listened, his chewing slowed down and he sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. The earth dragon can't resist. If you're strong enough, you can eat other people's flesh. If you're not strong enough, then you'll have to let others eat your flesh. Especially if you're weak and your flesh is particularly delicious, then you can only accept your fate. This isn't normal or abnormal, it's the law of nature."
As he said this, he took another bite of the barbecue in his hand. Hmm, the meat of this little white rabbit is so delicious!
Ye Ruisheng slowly felt relieved. It was good to think this way. He was just about to strike while the iron was hot and ask what he thought about turning the W1 planet into a large-scale breeding farm, but Jin Chu said it again.
"But I'm not saying anything, you humans are quite aggressive. Of course, that might be due to your intelligence and your proficiency in crafting weapons, but when you see a good planet, you want to make it your own. Isn't that a bit too greedy? Have you ever considered how you would feel if a powerful race discovered your planet one day and wanted to keep you captive for meat?"
Ye Ruisheng was speechless.
He really had never thought about this kind of thing.
But then Jin Chu chuckled again and said, "I just said it casually. Just like me eating this rabbit now, do I have to imagine that one day there will be a being stronger than me who wants to eat me like this rabbit, and then let this rabbit go? How tiring would life be then."
He paused, then said carefully, "Well, um...everything should be done in moderation. Don't overdo it."
The strong will never stand in the position of the weak and think from its perspective.
But a truly strong person should have a peaceful and tolerant heart. He will not want to take everything he sees for himself, and he will not do things to kill people for the sake of profit.
If Jin Chu encountered those earth dragons, he might catch some and eat them, or even catch a batch and bring them back to Little Flower Star to raise and eat slowly, but he would not do something like occupying the entire planet and turning all the earth dragons into meat dragons.
This is not because he does not have such a large market for him to make a fortune like humans, but because he simply does not have such an idea.
This is a kind of respect for all living beings born from nature. Jinchu may not be able to express such clear and profound insights, but this belief has been integrated into his behavior.
He has lived for more than a thousand years, and although he still has the mind of a young man, these long years have given him an understanding of the nature of life that is rare for ordinary people.
Ye Ruisheng looked at him in a daze. It was almost dawn and the dim white light made everything look dim. Only he was alive, both in his eyes and in the way he smiled and enjoyed eating meat.
He had always regarded Jinchu as a child who was ignorant of the world, but it was not until this moment that he realized that what Jinchu did not understand was perhaps just worldly disputes and human relationships, and in some aspects, he was actually far inferior to him.
At this moment, Ye Ruisheng suddenly realized that he actually didn't understand this person. He was not just what he showed on the surface. There were many deeper things waiting for him to discover.
"I really benefited a lot from listening to your words." Ye Ruisheng said sincerely.
"Hey, really?" Jin Chu scratched his head. "Hey, don't stop, the meat is going to burn!"
Ye Ruisheng: "..."
Well, this is a meat-loving boy.
After this conversation, Ye Ruisheng did not give up the idea of controlling this planet. Its value was simply too high. If he did not fight for it, it would fall into the hands of others. The loss would be too great.
But some of his ideas have changed.
He didn't tell Jinchu about this.
In the following days, Jinchu took his fruits for a stroll. Ye Ruisheng was not as idle as him. He did what he was supposed to do during the day and came to barbecue for them in the evening.
It seemed like I was back to the days on the planet Belfield, working during the day and looking for Jinchu at night.
More than ten days later, several more spaceships arrived at Planet W1.
The one who came was Doya Anlilun. She came as the chief consul, so Ye Ruisheng naturally could not shoot down her fleet as an illegal invasion.
As soon as Duoya Anlilun landed, she came to explain the situation to Ye Ruisheng in person.
"Will W1 be incorporated into the 24th administrative planet?" Ye Ruisheng didn't seem surprised by the news. Instead, he asked, "For such a big thing, Your Excellency the Governor just told me verbally?"
"Of course not. Here are the official documents. Your Excellency, Governor, please take a look. It has the Emperor's signature and the Parliament's official seal, every last one." Duoya Anlilun had the female official produce the documents and apologized. "Due to the urgency of the matter, the reporting documents and formalities required to prove W1's suitability as an administrative planet are still being processed."
Ye Ruisheng looked at her. Duoya Anlilun felt uneasy under his gaze. Ye Ruisheng said, "Since His Majesty the Emperor and the Parliament have decided on this matter, Your Excellency the Governor, please go ahead and do it. Do you need my help?"
"No, no, we are just doing basic city planning and construction now. The Governor is busy with training, so how can I disturb you." Doya Anlilun left happily. After she returned, the fleet flew to the other side of the planet.
Jin Chu, who was staying in the military camp today and was accompanied by Ye Ruisheng, couldn't help but ask, "What will happen after this place becomes an administrative planet?"
"An administrative planet must have a chief consul and a military governor. If this place officially becomes an administrative planet of the same level as the planet Belfield, it means that I, the governor of the planet Belfield, will not be able to easily bring my troops here." Ye Ruisheng explained to him.
"Are they going to drive you away?"
"If that's all, that day is still at least several years away. A few years is enough time for me to do a lot of things, such as ruining this matter." Ye Ruisheng said as he gently tossed the document on the table. "Unfortunately, this document is fake."
"Fake?" Jin Chu found it hard to understand. "She dared to lie to you like that, wouldn't you check it out?"
"Investigation takes time, and reacting after the investigation is complete also takes time. If I'm not mistaken, the First Army's troops are already on their way." Ye Ruisheng paused and smiled slightly. "Or rather, those spaceships loaded with so-called construction materials are probably actually carrying troops."
