“I understand these things.”

I know you've worked very hard during this time, but I hope you can continue to complete these tasks.

Monitor these anomalies.

This concerns the safety of all known civilizations in the universe.

"I'm begging you," said Onyrons, the Elf King of Kaguya, with great sincerity.

We understand.

"Your Excellency, you can rest assured and leave it to us," Dr. Peng said with a smile.

After exchanging a few more words, only Onyron, the Elf King, remained in the office.

He opened another document, which detailed what the Dragon Star Empire was currently doing.

And war bonds issued by the Imperial Ministry of Commerce, and other things.

After seeing all this, if it were the previous Kaguya Elf King Onyne, he would probably have sneered and ridiculed it, thinking that the Dragon Star Empire was a hypocrite.

But now, the Kaguya Elf King Onyne chuckled and muttered, "As expected of the person that guy chose."

They really don't miss out on any bargains.

They actually came up with such a method.

It seems the Dragon Star Empire is truly going all in this time.

Recall what the Flame Elf King Salaman told you before: the Dragon Star Empire will end its sworn duel with the Devouring Civilization within six months.

He also thought it was impossible at the time.

His best-case scenario was that the Dragon Star Empire could gain a decisive advantage in the Oath Duel within a year, and then allocate some of its forces to support their battlefield.

This is the best-case scenario.

And now that guy actually says he'll win the duel within six months.

The timeline has been compressed by half!

It's important to understand that halving the time is not as simple as two minus one equals one.

The difference in difficulty between the two can be several times.

Therefore, King Onyne of the Night Elf Kingdom could fully understand the policies that the Dragon Star Empire was currently implementing, and even if they were slightly out of line, he considered them acceptable.

After all, extraordinary measures are needed in extraordinary times.

What came to mind?

Onyx, the Elf King of Kaguya, opened his video communication window, selected the "Emperor of the Wraiths" option, and then clicked it.

It's important to know that Emperor Xiaolong is currently in the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire universe, while he is in the Mahas Interstellar Empire universe.

Before this, inter-universe communication was not possible.

But at this moment, a figure appeared in the video window in front of the Elf King Onyne.

This figure was none other than Emperor Zhao Chen.

"Hi, what made you think of contacting me?" Zhao Chen greeted Kaguya Elf King Onyons with a smile.

The Elf King Onyne said calmly, "I'll tell you something about the Conqueror Civilization."

Based on research data from several PhDs, they predict that a white hole will inevitably appear within the next three months to five years.

However, the exact time and location of its occurrence cannot be determined.

The only certainty is that it's within the universe of the Majas Interstellar Empire; it's either the Majas Interstellar Empire universe itself or one of the surrounding universes—the difference isn't significant.

Hearing this, Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Great King Kaguya Elf."

We had an agreement beforehand that you would be in charge of everything over there for the next five years, and it would have nothing to do with me.

"What, you want to be a hands-off manager and completely abandon this place?"

"Aren't you worried about your backyard going to catch fire?" Kaguya Elf King Onyne couldn't resist teasing her at this moment.

Previously, the Elf King Onyons would never have used such language as "backyard fire" to describe Sun He.

"I already have enough to worry about on my end."

My daily work is driving me crazy.

"So, Great King Kaguya, unless the Conqueror Civilization's legion fleet has already reached your Holy Elf Empire's territory, please don't say these things to me!" Zhao Chen looked utterly dejected.

At this moment, the Elf King Onyne asked, "How much chance do you have of winning this sworn duel against the Devouring Civilization?"

Is six months really enough?

Zhao Chen shrugged and said, "So what if it's not enough?"

Our Imperial Military has calculated that your defensive lines can only hold out for a maximum of six months.

Kaguya Elf King Onyneus frowned, and several black lines appeared on his forehead.

He said in a deep voice, "Six months? You're underestimating us too much."

You can modify your plans now.

I can guarantee it for a year!

Zhao Chen shrugged and said with a slight smile, "You may not understand our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire. We never completely trust anyone."

We will take the initiative into our own hands.

A year... we can't afford to gamble that much."

“You...” Kaguya Elf King Onyne felt looked down upon.

This has never happened before.

They, the Holy Elf Empire, have always looked down on others; how dare others look down on them!

"Alright, I don't have high expectations of you."

Within six months.

The Majas interstellar empire, as the core of the defense, must not fall, and your legion fleets must not suffer losses exceeding 50%.

The number of universes that fall should not exceed ten.

"I'm so grateful you've managed to do all this," Zhao Chen said with a smile.

The Elf King Onyons didn't say much more about this matter, because he knew that it would be useless to explain too much now. Strength is something that can only be earned with one's own hands. No one will believe what is said with words!

"Stubborn to the end."

However, if you need any help from us when the time comes, please let us know. Don't try to tough it out on your own.

We, the Elven Kings, have already discussed this and have granted Salamander permission to prepare five million interstellar warships to support your sworn duel.

"You can keep these five million interstellar warships for yourselves," Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"I won't listen to a word." Kaguya Elf King Onyons rolled his eyes at him, then said impatiently, "Alright, that's all for now."

I still have a lot to take care of here.

Zhao Chen said, "Oniens, although I don't want to get involved in your affairs."

But if anything happens at that time, please send me a copy.

We also need to know what our allies have done, so that when it's time to offer assistance, we know where we should help.

"I know." After saying that, the Elf King Onyons impatiently prepared to close the communication, but then he paused, looked at Zhao Chen, and said, "Don't die."

Upon hearing the cold words of the Elf King Onyne, Zhao Chen smiled knowingly, just as he was about to speak.

The video call was immediately disconnected.

Seeing the blacked-out video window, Zhao Chen couldn't help but chuckle: "This guy."

Now that we have the ability to communicate across universes, it has made communication between different universes much easier.

However, inter-universe communication consumes a great deal of resources.

The energy required for a single intergalactic communication could supply the needs of an entire galaxy for a year.

Therefore, intercosmic communication is currently regulated.

This is basically only used when there is a need for timely transmission of important information from higher levels.

Otherwise, they would still use the method of sending starships to use stargates to travel to the target universe and then relay the intelligence.

Dragon Star Empire - Dragon Star Empire Central Bank

In a magnificent conference room, more than a dozen figures, known to outsiders as the Gods of Wealth, were gathered.

These people are the president and vice president of the Central Bank of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, as well as the president and vice president of the four major investment banks of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

He can be described as a figure at the very top of the wealth pyramid of the Dragon Star Empire.

"The purpose of calling everyone here for this meeting is very simple."

Our four major interstellar investment banks have been operating for almost two years now.

We need to take stock of the current situation of various interstellar investment banks over the past two years.

"The status of fund recovery, and subsequent investment, etc." The governor of the Imperial Central Bank looked at everyone.

The past two years have been a test for all four investment banks, and now it's time to find out the answers.

"Let's start with the Dragon Financial Interstellar Investment Bank." The first name mentioned by the Governor of the Imperial Central Bank was the one who should ideally be in the best position.

Compared to the other four, this interstellar investment bank has a broader scope; it doesn't necessarily have to invest in real industries, but can directly invest in existing high-return projects.

Therefore, the scope for operation is greatly increased.

After roll call.

The president of Xiaolong Financial Interstellar Investment Bank naturally stood up and began to report on the situation over the past two years.

"Over the past two years, our bank has mobilized a total of 300 trillion yuan in funds and invested in a large number of projects."

Nine out of ten of these investments can be recouped within two years, while only one out of ten takes more than two years.

Our position is that, no matter what, we must at least recoup our investment within two years so as not to affect the Empire's important oath duel to come.

Therefore, in the past two years, the projects we invested in have basically recovered the principal of 300 trillion and also generated a profit of 30 trillion.

Achieved a return of over 3% in a single year!

In addition, we have a two-year project worth 50 trillion that is still in operation, which will generate a large portion of the revenue at that time.

Meanwhile, according to the relevant cooperation and investment agreements we signed.

The projects within the past two years have all ended, but they can still generate substantial passive income for a long time to come, with annual income potentially reaching at least 50 trillion Star Coins.

After hearing these reports.

The governor of the Imperial Central Bank nodded in satisfaction, pleased that such great gains could be achieved in such a short time.

That's already quite good.

This revenue alone is equivalent to the annual revenue of a medium-sized interstellar civilization, and is comparable to the economic strength of an interstellar civilization ranked among the top twenty known civilizations in the universe.

Of course, this cannot be considered starting from scratch. Without the backing of the Dragon Star Empire, no matter how capable one is, one could not earn so much money.

"Next up is the Dragon Industries Interstellar Investment Bank," the governor of the Imperial Central Bank said, pointing to the second name.

The bank president then stood up to speak and report: "Our Xiaolong Industrial Interstellar Investment Bank faces challenges because the industrial sector generally has a long investment cycle and a slow payback period."

Therefore, our initial goal was to break even within two years.

Over the past two years, we have finalized investment projects worth a total of 500,000 trillion Star Coins.

However, because industrial projects are also subject to phases, about 10% of these projects are still in the investment phase.

all in all.

To date, we have completed 50% of our industrial investment projects, while the other 50% are still in operation.

We recovered 520,000 trillion Star Coins.

The profit portion is 20,000 trillion Star Coins.

However, the industrial projects we have already completed have higher future sustainability benefits.

Currently, it can provide us with up to 10,000 trillion star coins in passive income per year.

I am very satisfied with this report.

Immediately afterwards, the two interstellar investment banks also reported their situations.

They have all basically achieved the goal of breaking even.

At this very moment, several pairs of eyes are also observing this meeting.

"They all did a great job."

"To be able to invest in so many projects in such a short time and still ensure a return on investment," Zhao Chen said with an appreciative nod, watching the meeting unfolding across the video window.

Minister of Commerce Li Yaqi, who was standing nearby, tallied the results and said, "Based on the current statistics..."

The four major investment banks have directly generated 50,000 trillion Star Coins in wealth over the past two years, which is equivalent to about 20,000 trillion Star Coins per year.

It's comparable to a medium-sized interstellar civilization.

Regarding passive income, the passive income generated by the four interstellar investment banks after the completion of their investment projects, due to equity ownership and other reasons, can bring our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire approximately 20,000 trillion star coins per year.

This is only two years in the past. If we extend this timeline...

Four interstellar investment banks could easily create another interstellar empire of equal value outside the Dragon Star Empire universe!

Listen to what they are saying.

Zhao Chen's mind was filled with nothing but endless money.

It's all about money.

These four interstellar investment banks are like four money trees.

At this moment, Secretary Lilith said from the side, "Minister Li Yaqi, although we are about to begin our oath duel."

However, the four interstellar investment banks cannot stop their investment business in this area.

However, you should be aware of the risks.

We don't pursue quantity, we make no demands, we only seek stability, and we ensure that the operations of the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire in the realm of warfare are not affected!

The risks mentioned here naturally refer to the potential risks posed by future invasions by conquering civilizations.

Imagine an investment project that was painstakingly completed, only to be ruined by the invasion of a conqueror civilization and the ensuing war.

That would be counterproductive, so this is something we must pay attention to.
