However, it's one-sided.

Unlike Młynar, who could call Master Huang anytime, Black Snake could only wait for Master Huang to call him.

For example, when attending the emperor's funeral, Huang Cao impulsively gave a call to Hei Liu She. 4↑

So while they were observing a moment of silence, Black Snake kept chatting with Master Huang, who was far away, so it wasn't too boring.

"Many nobles don't know my identity; they only know that I am a duke, so the standard procedure still needs to be followed."

The black snake crossed its hands above its lower abdomen, displaying a very elegant posture.

But anyone with a modicum of sense dislikes Koschei's gloomy aura.

Therefore, after the funeral, no one except the ceremonial staff who hosted the banquet wanted to speak to him.

"Behind the red gates, meat and wine go to waste, while on the road, the bones of those frozen to death lie." These nobles indulge in revelry at banquets, but do they ever consider where the grain in their hands actually comes from?

Huang Cao didn't witness the clinking of wine glasses among the Ursus Nobles, but the clinking sounds around him told him how grand the banquet was.

"By the way, how's the distribution of the grain we traded for going?"

"Unfortunately, only 700,000 tons of food actually reached the ordinary people of Ursus, and less than one-third of it has been distributed so far."

"I can hear the weariness in your voice. Why not cheer up and turn your attention to the upcoming Emperor of Ursus?"

Are you referring to Vladimir Ivanovich?

Black Snake turned his gaze to the thinnest boy in the crowd, who was kneeling in front of his father's coffin.

His expression was extremely sad, as if he could collapse at the slightest breeze.

"I don't have a good opinion of this prince. His health is too weak, and I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand the verbal attacks from the nobles."

I don't think so.

Huang Cao once saw a collectible while playing the Rogue mode.

Its name is: Ursus Saber.

The record above details the deeds of this prince. As the prince who succeeded the deceased Emperor of Ursus, this physically frail emperor ushered in an unprecedented golden age for the country.

"A person who can earn such high expectations from you, Master Huang, must have something special about them."

Black Serpent smiled but didn't say anything, but he really didn't have a high opinion of this generation's Emperor of Ursus.

They even began to suspect that Master Huang was interfering, trying to get his attention to the prince.

After all the nation's resources were poured into this emperor, he fell ill and died, which was a huge blow to Ursus.

As the national consciousness of Ursus, Black Serpent also follows its own code of conduct.

For example, one cannot forcibly extend the emperor's lifespan, because this would not be conducive to the development of the country.

After all, doing so would hinder the emergence of more outstanding emperors in the future, and it would be a way to preserve the upper limit of potential.

After a simple farewell ceremony.

Despite his grief, the newly enthroned Vladimir Ivanovich announced his accession to the throne today.

The nobles on the field didn't make much of a fuss, as if the newly enthroned emperor were announcing something perfectly ordinary.

Seeing that his prestige was not as high as that of his father, the young emperor named Ivanovich began to recount his story.

"Gentlemen, Ursus needs a change, but this change should be brought about by war or peace. The disastrous defeat in Leithanian taught us a lesson: we must never let the soldiers of Ursus continue to use those outdated spears."

Can war and peace really be linked together?

The nobles present exchanged bewildered glances, clearly having underestimated the young emperor's skill.

"Industrialization is essential; Ursus can no longer remain so weak. To possess the sharpest spears, craftsmen must hone their skills to the extreme."

"There is an old saying in Yan Country: 'Sharpening the axe will not delay the work of chopping wood.' Ministers, you are all my brothers and sisters. You know best what the Former Emperor was thinking. He often lamented that the country was too weak to secure greater benefits for you."

"So you have seen the outcome of the war. If the High-speed Battleship hadn't been so slow and the soldiers hadn't lacked good weapons, we would never have lost this war."

"So it is time. All of you here are the elite of the nation, my trusted brothers and sisters. For the greater good, we must take action and seek greater benefits for our people and families."

The crowd began to stir, and as the new emperor delivered his impassioned speech on stage, they realized the gravity of the situation.

Sihei She immediately looked at this emperor with new respect.

Industrialization will inevitably affect the interests of these die-hards, but what if there is an even bigger pie waiting for them to share in the future?

The art of promising a grand prize is effective for all social classes, and this group of nobles was no exception.

Especially since it was a pie in the sky promised by the emperor.

Moreover, Vladimir's words seemed to possess a certain charm, were logically sound, and completely aligned himself with the nobility.

All three of their words conveyed the message that they didn't want their interests to be harmed, but the country really had no other choice; if they didn't make them suffer some losses, they would all be doomed.

Furthermore, he plans to take the lead and completely relinquish a portion of his own interests.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

The black snake asked with some curiosity.

"I've decided to move our capital to Mobile City, so that Saint Petersburg can grow legs!"

To demonstrate his resolve, Vladimir decided to start with his own royal family, voluntarily relocating them to a Mobile City with a less than pleasant environment.

Only in this way can we prove to the world our determination to reform.

The nobles below looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering if they had ever imagined that this emperor would be so decisive.

Moving to Mobile City has both advantages and disadvantages. First of all, if something happens, the royal family will definitely be implicated.

The Victoria royal family is a prime example; they were almost completely uprooted by the Speaker appeared out of nowhere.

There wasn't even anywhere to run.

Chapter 314 Kal'tsit decides to start the game

Having learned from this example, most nobles who were related to the Emperor of Ursus by blood did not want to become the next Aslan.

Therefore, although the interests of powerful families would certainly be harmed during the reform, they were still willing to support it.

However, there are still doubts about whether this monarch is capable of shouldering such a great responsibility.

This will take time to prove, and we certainly won't see results anytime soon.

"Too late, Black Serpent, am I right?"

"I think it's not too late, everything is just beginning, and I have high expectations for this emperor."

"Do you think I might interfere? Utopia can't just sit idly by and watch Ursus grow stronger."

The black snake was stunned; it seemed that this was indeed the case.

However, it was impossible for it to lower itself to beg Master Huang to stop interfering in Ursus's internal affairs.

Even if you beg, you won't get it. The power struggle at the national level won't be swayed by the pleas of one or two people.

"Ursus will be great again."

"Hehe, you guys probably won't have the last laugh."

The newly appointed Tsar is indeed ambitious and has extraordinary aspirations.

But it also ignores the vast majority of people who are being exploited.

Giving concessions does not mean that these gray-area animals are truly treated as human beings. This country has not escaped the most basic feudal routines.

This emperor appears wise in history, but in the end, he simply left the problems to the next generation.

Ordinary people have simply moved from the fields where they toiled to the more cramped machines of the factory. Their income has indeed increased, but the damage to their health has also become more severe.

It was also during this emperor's reign that Ursus began a large-scale outbreak of infected individuals.

"Perhaps Ursus will indeed become more powerful than ever before during this emperor's reign, but it will also sow the seeds of greater dangers for the country."

Huang Cao said this to Black Snake, but the latter showed no remorse whatsoever.

In the eyes of this immortal Immortals, it seemed that any problem in the country could be solved simply by changing to a wise ruler.

Although he already knew how dire the circumstances the emperor's successor would face in the future, Huang Cao would not let his guard down.

He wouldn't hesitate to cause trouble for the country when the time was right.

Perhaps realizing the conversation had died down, Huang Cao was too lazy to continue arguing with this stubborn guy.

Anyway, it will suffer the consequences later.

Huang Cao's thoughts returned to the vast sea. After a lot of hard work, he finally finished building the framework of the sea fortress.

The ship, which was originally fully loaded with cargo, has been completely dismantled, and even the screws are gone.

There was no other way; since it was too far from Utopia and goods couldn't be transported quickly by digging tunnels, all resources had to be used wisely.

The construction of an undersea tunnel would be too large a target and would be easily detected by Sargol.

However, before fully understanding the essence of this civilization, Huang Cao did not want to have a direct conflict with these proud fish.

Just as it stretched and prepared to go back, a green light suddenly flashed in the sky.

"Huh? What's the Cyber Ghost up to now?"

Before Huang Cao could react, a completely naked Kal'tsit suddenly fell from the sky, hundreds of meters above the ground.

My cat is so boring, you can handle him/her!

Huang Cao heard these words quickly, but his actions were far faster than his words.

To prevent his newly resurrected cat-eared wife from falling to the ground, he sprouted dozens of vines from his body, instantly forming a sturdy net that precisely caught the falling Kal'tsit.

"My head hurts so much, where am I?"

Slightly dazed by the gust of wind, Kal'tsit struggled to lift her head, only to find herself firmly embraced in a warm hug.

"Of course, it was caught safely by its great owner, Mr. Huang. Welcome home, my dear little kitty."

Kal'tsit's lips were firmly sealed by gentle lips.

Then it turns out that touch is often more impressive than hearing.

The adorable kitten instinctively began to ask for it.

"Master Huang, how did we end up at sea?"

"Who knows? Maybe you were born here?"

After the tender moment, Kal'tsit realized that she felt lightheaded.

Oh no, it seems that the wicked mother didn't prepare clothes for her newly resurrected self.

[Heh, do I need to pick out clothes for you? You've been holding back for so long, you're probably itching to start a game. This thing is just an obstacle.]

She truly lives up to her reputation as Cyber Ghost.

It was easy for him to figure out Kal'tsit's true thoughts.

The Green Big Cat, who had been forced to abstain from sex for more than half a year, was itching with desire. He watched Master Huang and the other women arranging their positions every day and couldn't wait any longer.

"Master Huang, on such a beautiful day, it seems a little Tai He for you to keep holding me."

"But there's only ocean around, and there aren't even any fish, let alone people."

"Wouldn't that be better? Besides, judging from your current situation, Master Huang, it seems you haven't prepared any extra clothes."

Kal'tsit spoke to Master Huang in a very serious tone, but within that seriousness lay an irresistible allure.

"Moreover, as far as I know, you have not been cared for by anyone for a month, and as your doctor, I must conduct a thorough examination of your health."

"To ensure the future of Utopia is ensured, please do not have any worries or be stingy, and give generously."

In plain terms, hurry up and come here, I really can't wait any longer.

Huang Cao gently tossed the cat in her arms upwards, and the cat quickly realized the man's feelings for her.

On this boundless blue sea, the distance between the two was once again broken.

Surprisingly, there were actually fish watching nearby.

Beneath the newly built mechanical framework of Utopia, beneath the boundless ocean.

The Swarm Sea Creatures watched the two men's actions with bewildered eyes.

Sea Creatures A: What are our scaleless brethren doing? They seem so happy. Why is there another scaleless one?
