The Merrick Government Is Established

Inside the main conference hall of the council hall, the major noble forces and inherited families of the planet had all gathered.

He looked at Lister at the front with a mixture of curiosity and nervousness.

Knowing that the world was about to undergo a major change, they were more or less nervous, with a fear of the uncertainty of the future.

Especially at the very front of the group, the representative of the Lucian royal family was none other than the current third prince. Yongping Emperor of the Great Chu royal family was also absent, citing illness, and his fourth prince was present instead.

This scene left the major powers and forces of both countries bewildered.

In fact, Lister personally visited the royal families of the two great nations.

There was no difficulty in communication or resistance as imagined. It seemed that the royal families of the two countries had anticipated this, and they had even discussed the matter during their current ceasefire.

Everyone knew the world had changed, but the only thing they hadn't expected was that Lister would push for a unified government so quickly.

Both officials in power were quite old, so they decided to resign due to illness.

Each has left behind its own heir, who is participating in today's meeting.

"The meeting is now officially beginning. I'm sure everyone has gained some understanding and contact with the Galactic Federation over the past two years, right?"

Looking down at the crowd below, Lister couldn't help but sigh.

I thought I wouldn't be back to Merrick Planet for a long time, as I would be more focused on improving my own strength within the Galactic Federation.

But he wasn't a player after all, and eventually, he returned to the Merrick Civilization itself.

"Let me first introduce you all. This gentleman next to me is Lady Neil, from our neighboring Yalan Civilization. Like our Merrick Civilization, it is a Level 2 civilization. Currently, he serves as the Vice President of the Senate and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Yalan Civilization, and is also the representative appointed by the Galactic Federation to witness the establishment of our Merrick Civilization's political system."

The crowd had long suspected that this "giant" was standing next to Lister.

Standing three meters tall, with muscular build and unusual blue skin, he was clearly a citizen of another civilization within the Galactic Federation.

Lady Neal, who had been standing respectfully beside Lister, immediately waved to the crowd upon hearing the introduction.

"... Now, let's proceed to the most important item on the agenda for this meeting..."

"In the name of the advanced life forms of the Merrick Civilization, I declare that Planet CX7372 is the ruling planet of the Merrick Civilization, and the Merrick Government is officially established today!"

"Government power belongs to parliament, and is divided among..."

"The Senate President will be temporarily appointed by Quint Will, Connor Liyade, Haila Lucian, Xiong Tuo..."

A series of lists were announced, and the new political system represented a new distribution of power and resources.

Lister's best expectation is to unify the Merrick Governing Planet without bloodshed.

The primary purpose of unifying the Merrick Civilization was to elevate the top powerhouses within it, in order to advance to a Level 3 civilization.

The hope is that the entire civilization will unite, rather than first depleting the civilization's top powerhouses.

"Notification: The fine has been paid in full, and the Merrick Government has been formed."

"Notice: Do you accept the leadership of the Silver Moon Civilization (Level 3 Civilization)? (Note: As this civilization has been established for less than a century, you may choose not to accept.)"

"Unacceptable."

"Notice: As the Merrick Civilization currently lacks a superior civilization, it is not authorized to possess directly subordinate civilizations. (Note: Please identify a superior civilization within 94 years.)"

A series of Galactic Federation access information notifications.

As for the question of who should belong to which civilization was at a higher or lower level, Lister naturally did not accept it, given that he was about to advance to a third-level civilization.

With the government newly established, all resources flowed into the Galactic Federation like water.

All the basic infrastructure, such as the strength testing room, civilization database, and civilization chip workshop, had to be purchased from the Galactic Federation.

At this point in time, the Merrick Civilization has essentially sold off all of its planet's resources to acquire a host of necessities for integration into the Galactic Federation.

Fortunately, the Merrick Civilization was only a level two civilization, so the purchase price of much of its technological information was not high, and there were no barriers to its acquisition.

They can also profit by charging fees to nearby lower-level civilizations through certain workshops.

Of course, the majority of the profits from these fees go to the Galactic Federation.

Based on Lister's most immediate impression, the more a civilization tries to integrate into the Galactic Federation, the more it is exploited!

The 177 resource planets possessed by the Merrick Civilization were quickly put into exploitation.

It seems that the Rise of the Merrick Civilization in this star system only allows the Galactic Federation to better exploit this region and further concentrate resources!

Three months later.

Planet CX2989.

Lister stepped off the teleportation array.

A planet with an unregistered civilization already has teleportation arrays built.

This demonstrates just how beneficial this planet is to nearby civilizations.

After taking out the flight capsule, Tim and Adrian, formerly of the Black Armor Guard, followed closely behind and entered.

Now that the new government has been formed, Tim has been Lister to be a Senate.

As for Adrian, he was elected as a member of the House of Representatives based on his eleventh-tier strength.

The Galactic Federation's cultural assimilation rate is extremely fast, especially its advanced civilization technology and professional system inheritance resources, which are a fatal attraction for lower-level civilizations.

The titles and ranks that the two men once held are no longer mentioned.

The titles of the old nobility are mostly history; the current members of parliament are the new nobility in Merrick Governing Planet!

This small spacecraft was quite fast, traveling high above the planet and looking down at it.

It is indeed the largest planet in the nearby star system, and in terms of volume alone, it is more than a hundred times larger than Merrick Governing Planet.

At first glance, some of the architectural complexes appear to be even more advanced than those of the Merrick Civilization.

"My lord, this should be the beginning of Feng Nation, and further on is the Chali Nation."

Tim reminded Lister from behind.

The entire Planet CX2989 was originally considered the "backyard" of the Yalan Civilization.

Now that their Merrick Civilization has joined this region, this enormous "human resources star" will naturally no longer be exclusively enjoyed by the Yalan Civilization.

They actively communicated with the Merrick Civilization, dividing it into two parts.

From Feng Nation, which served as the border of the territory, to Kelin Nation, the entire area is now under the jurisdiction of the Merrick Civilization.

Many nearby level zero and level one civilizations also recruit labor here.

Of course, they would also pay a certain percentage of the fees to the Merrick Civilization and Yalan Civilizations.

These issues will be addressed by the new government.

Lister soon arrived at his main destination, the Chali Nation.

Upon entering the capital, Lister was quite pleased with the pedestrians on the street.

The system scan revealed that the general level was above level seven, with a few individuals even reaching level ten. And this only included people on the road.

As expected, it is the strongest country in the eastern half of the region.

The individual qualities and potential of our citizens are superior to those of other neighboring countries.

This also provides the people of Chali Nation with more prestigious job opportunities, aside from low-level heavy labor such as mining, cleaning, and energy refining.

This refers to positions requiring combat skills, such as guards and protectors.

A large proportion of the core members of the Yalan Civilization's combat guard were recruited from the Chali Nation.

Those with truly exceptional talent will be given preferential treatment in terms of credit points and resources, and will be recruited into the civilization as soon as possible for focused training.

This source of combat power has now fallen into the hands of the Merrick Civilization.

Lister came here to recruit, partly to advance to a Level 3 civilization and to recruit top talents.

On the other hand, it was also to prepare for the subsequent Merrick Civilization Army.
