“I propose that a new law be enacted immediately to ban gambling nationwide, confiscate all gambling items, cancel all gambling debts, and stipulate that any losses caused by gambling will not be recognized by the state. If such gambling is discovered, the entire family will be convicted of treason, stripped of their citizenship, and permanently deported.”
After signing dozens of rental and sales contracts with the alien octopus head during a live broadcast, Qiu Jiji wiped the cold sweat from his brow and immediately proposed a new bill in front of all the decision-makers.
"Agreed."
"Agreed."
As soon as Qiu Jiji finished speaking, the other decision-makers immediately agreed with his proposal. This single IOU for five trillion and the accompanying fifty trillion in fees would force the British Empire to sell everything it owned. No one wanted another IOU worth trillions to suddenly appear. They didn't want to ruin an entire nation because of one person. These aliens who trade planets were utterly unreasonable and didn't care about the plight of the victims.
"Since no one objects, this bill shall take effect immediately." Seeing that everyone had approved the new bill, Qiu Jiji immediately announced.
There was no applause; the entire meeting room was completely silent, and no one was in the mood to celebrate the enactment of the new bill.
"Now I announce the second thing: from this moment forward, I resign voluntarily, and I declare Qiu Jiji guilty of treason, a crime unforgivable. I sentence Qiu Jiji to death by hanging, to be carried out immediately, and strip him of all rights for life. The new chief decision-maker will be decided by a new vote." Qiu Jiji spoke again. This time, he had signed so many humiliating treaties, turning the British Empire into a semi-colonial state. Although it was unavoidable, he no longer had the face to be the chief decision-maker of the British Empire, no face to see any citizen of the British Empire, and no face to live.
“I strongly oppose this verdict. Qiu Jiji’s case was exonerated due to enormous and irresistible factors, and there is no precedent for this. Therefore, Qiu Jiji should be acquitted,” an official said, raising his hand.
“I also object.” Yet another decision-maker raised his hand in opposition.
"I also object." As the two decision-makers objected, more and more decision-makers understood and joined in the objection. In the end, everyone objected to Qiu Jiji's verdict against him, even Qiu Jiji's mortal enemy firmly opposed Qiu Jiji's verdict against him.
“Not only is he innocent, but Churchill saved the world from peril.” The decision-maker who initially opposed the proposal said, “I propose that Churchill continue as chief decision-maker and be re-elected.”
"I agree!"
The decision-makers voted again without consulting Qiu Jiji at all. Previously, the chief decision-maker position was highly coveted, with many wanting to oust Qiu Jiji. But now, that position was undoubtedly the most unpopular one in the world; whoever held it would likely have to deal with these unreasonable aliens.
Given the arrogance of these aliens, whoever sits in this position might be too ashamed to live. Even if they don't deal with aliens, the impact and trouble caused by such a huge debt will still lead to their being scorned in the future.
So, they all tacitly continued to support Qiu Jiji. Qiu Jiji's reputation was already ruined, so let him continue to contribute! As long as it wasn't them who were affected.
"You...!" Looking at the decision-makers who were raising their hands, Qiu Jiji was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"Chief Decision Officer, we apologize for the hardship you've endured for the sake of the British Empire." Seeing Qiu Jiji's expression, one of the decision-makers stood up, saluted, and said this. Following this lead, the other decision-makers also stood up and saluted Qiu Jiji.
"Sigh!" Qiu Jiji sighed. Since she had already sacrificed herself, she could only continue to sacrifice.

"Boss! This is the treaty." Back on the spaceship, the octopus-headed creature immediately presented the signed treaty to Wang Han with both hands.
These treaties granted perpetual mining rights, land ownership, business ownership, and even perpetual ownership of ports, the right to establish banks, and the right to exemption from tariffs, among other conveniences and privileges.
Wang Han took the treaty from the octopus-headed man and handed it directly to Liu Peiqiang, saying, "Liu Peiqiang, I'm entrusting these industries and resources to you. Arrange reliable people to manage them. The spaceships will remain in Earth's orbit for now. Also, establish the Divine Might Empire Bank and the Divine Might Technology Company, appropriately importing some outdated technology to Earth while developing our power and economy. There shouldn't be any problems with negotiating with other countries. Furthermore, they will definitely try to establish diplomatic relations with us, or even apply to join the Divine Might Empire. You control this step; don't let them achieve their goals too easily. Strive for sufficient benefits."
“Yes, there is no problem with dialogue with the country,” Liu Peiqiang said respectfully as he accepted the treaty from Wang Han.
For Xia Shiqi's sake, Wang Han plans to gradually take control of the Earth and bring it into the Divine Might Space. However, not now. Before that, Wang Han needs to control the economy and a certain amount of power.
After bringing this Earth into the Divine Might Space, he can return frequently when traveling to other worlds. Wang Han cares a lot about Xia Shiqi. He could even reshape a world.
"Furthermore, temporarily send someone to manage Hong Kong and clean up the forces there. A week later, have Octopus Head hand over Hong Kong to China in my name. If they ask, just tell them that you detected a high-level space warrior on Earth, and that I am a high-level space warrior, also an Earthling. Your main purpose here is to recruit me; collecting gambling debts is secondary," Wang Han instructed again. "The diplomatic affairs are all yours. Don't reveal my specific identity, and don't tell them where I am. Just let them know that such a person exists."
"Yes," Liu Peiqiang quickly replied.

As news spread of the British Empire's alien invasion and its trillion-dollar gambling debts, countries around the world announced nearly identical laws on the same day. These aliens were utterly unreasonable; no one wanted their entire nation, or even the entire planet, to be implicated because of one person's gambling.
Meanwhile, news of extraterrestrials spread throughout the world.

Tsim Sha Tsui.
"Brother." Just as Wang Han returned to the mansion he had bought, Xia Shiqi, who had been watching Feng Yuxiu practice martial arts, ran up to him and affectionately took his hand.
"Cousin!" Feng Yuxiu, who was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, stopped and greeted Wang Han.
"My cousin's back, I'll go cook." Shen Xue, who had been watching Feng Yuxiu practice martial arts, said warmly to Wang Han and turned to cook.
The two of them have already taken on the roles of Wang Han's cousins.
