Follow Master Huang and Eat Nine Meals a Day!
According to Kal'tsit, she should be a white-haired woman who appears very intellectual but has a somewhat unconventional way of thinking.
Kal'tsit said with a hint of jealousy, "My mother is really big."
How big is it?
How big is it exactly?
Huang Cao was a little curious, since it was hard to tell the Doctor's gender in the animation, and he was indeed good-looking.
Strictly speaking, Rem Pito does not have a unified central government; its various regions mainly operate and conduct production and business activities in the form of mining areas.
The main race of Rem Pito is the Cautus, which is a rabbit. As we all know, rabbits are very prolific.
Although after being modified by the Originium Beautification Pack, Cautus's single-birth reproductive capacity is now almost the same as that of humans.
However, driven by genetic instinct, the Cautus have always revered the prosperity of their family and future generations.
Since families have been mentioned, the representatives and heads of each mining area are often the people chosen by the family to be in charge, or they are the heads of the largest families in the area.
The family divides political affairs into numerous small parts, with each family unit responsible for handling them. This is why there are so many workshops and individual miners in this country.
There is a famous saying among the Cautus living in Rem Pito:
"The bigger the scandal gets, the more meetings there will be, and the more time will be wasted."
This political system is undoubtedly very interesting. Although it is not perfect, it at least guarantees that the vast majority of Castells can live a normal life in this land.
"Rem Pito's military strength is not weak. At least it is a country with abundant mineral resources. It is very rare for it to have maintained almost complete independence for such a long time."
After much deliberation, Huang Cao decided to pursue normal diplomatic channels to see if he could bring the ship back.
The Rhodes Island has been taken over by the Utopia Industrial Group, but the local families seem to want more profits and have been arguing with Master Huang's staff.
Since there wasn't a rush before, Huang Cao had put the matter aside, but now it needs to be properly discussed.
"Contact the staff stationed in Rem Pito. I need to see the ship within a month. This order is their promotion test this year, and how to do it will depend on the wisdom of the local staff."
Huang Cao's hard work over the years has finally paid off. There are plenty of talented people in Utopia, and everyone has their own things to do.
The civil service exam, in particular, is a series of tests within tests.
Many things don't require the top-ranking Master Huang to handle personally; there are always clever people to solve everything for him.
A few seconds later, the command was transmitted to Rem Pito, thousands of miles away.
The local staff quickly sprang into action, abandoning their usual laziness.
"Notify the local Rem Pito leaders that there will be a meeting tonight, and everyone must be present, otherwise they will know the consequences of going against Utopia."
In the past, after gaining independence, Rem Pito maintained close ties with the nations of Terra's core, essentially offending no one and treating everyone as a friend.
This is why the country has been able to prosper, but now almost half of the countries in Terra's core region have become part of Utopia.
Therefore, the alliance of Rem Pito has changed, and the superpower Utopia is now completely monopolistic.
Leithanian is now in a state of near collapse, with the Black and White Empresses wreaking havoc inside. It's only a matter of time before it turns to Utopia.
If this country had any sense, it wouldn't dare to directly break with Utopia.
That evening, representatives from various regions of Rem Pito gathered at the Utopia Government Hall, their numerous rabbit ears swaying back and forth—quite adorable.
The staff didn't waste any words and directly stated that their lord wanted the Rhodes Island.
"Two options. Option one: The High-speed Battleship tows the Rhodes Island away from Rem Pito, and at the same time, this country's diplomatic relations with Utopia are completely severed, and you will not be able to obtain any industrial goods from Utopia."
"The second option is for you to escort the Rhodes Island across the border, and we'll pretend nothing happened."
The many rabbit-eared creatures nodded in agreement; they certainly didn't want to directly confront Utopia's anger.
It was just for fun before, but now it seems like they're getting serious.
It can only be said that Rem Pito's Cautus is quite astute, fully aware of their current situation.
Meanwhile, in distant Ursus.
The black snake is experiencing unimaginable torment.
Having been abducted, Talulah went on a rampage, smashing everything in sight in front of her.
"Don't come near me!"
Talulah, who has been here for several years, has once again launched her rebellion, which greatly troubles the Black Serpent.
Even if you tear this castle down, we'll still have to stay here. These dresses and toys were all bought for you by me. In the end, you're the one who'll suffer, not me.
Talulah, in her early teens, seemed to possess endless energy, making a ruckus every day.
Fortunately, the Old Black Snake had enough stamina to avoid being tortured to death.
"Sigh, the renovation of the room that was vandalized will have to be simplified; I don't have that much money to compensate for the damage."
At first, the room it prepared for Talulah was meticulously decorated, but after several incidents of vandalism, Black Serpent decided to cut its budget for her and shift its focus to education.
After the Draco had vented its anger, the black snake tied it up again and then ordered people to clean up the wreckage in the room.
"Why bother? Starting tomorrow, your room will only have a bed and a bedside table."
"You devil! I will not yield!"
"I haven't done anything to you yet, have I?" The black snake lied, but it had never kept its word except to Master Huang.
When Talulah woke up the next day, she thought about her stomach and decided to eat her fill before engaging in a battle of wits with the black snake in front of her.
The black snake ultimately did not take any action to punish, because it would be pointless.
Chapter 491: Following Master Huang, I eat nine meals a day!
"Change your clothes right now. They have absolutely no taste. The Ursus Royal Military Academy really needs to change its standards."
It was another morning, and Black Snake almost fainted when he saw Talulah returning from school.
Oh my god.
This military uniform is absolutely tasteless. It wouldn't look out of place at school, but it's not appropriate for me to wear it at home now.
You have no right to criticize me!
"Whether you admit it or not, at least legally in Ursus, you are now my heir, and I am now your sociological father. Now, please change your clothes, or you will not receive any allowance for the next month."
"Cut..."
Fourteen-year-old Talulah pouted in dissatisfaction. All of this money was meant for relief efforts for the Ursus victims and for building up her own power.
Black Serpent has gone to great lengths to cultivate this dragon's interest. Since its coffers have been completely drained by Master Huang, all its current spending is on this Draco.
Unfortunately, education has yielded little result over the years.
"I'm taking you out to meet a guest today. My advice is to be as polite as possible; he's not someone you can afford to offend."
Talulah's lips curled into a cruel smile. "According to you, the only possible owner of that castle is the Emperor of Ursus. Believe me or not, I'll kick him in the face?"
Black Serpent shook his head. "If only it really were the Emperor of Ursus, but unfortunately it isn't. Just come along."
Faced with the black snake's insistence, Talulah had no choice but to obediently change into a little dress.
"Do you see that castle in the distance?"
"Isn't that castle yours? It looks quite beautiful."
"Of course it's not mine. That piece of land used to be mine, but I sold it."
"Do you ever need money?"
"Hehe."
A hint of heartache flashed across Black Snake's face. If it weren't for that guy who screwed him over so badly, I wouldn't be scrimping and saving every penny to support you.
"Come with me and you'll find out. He happens to be home today too."
"Heh, probably another evil noble like you. I never thought you'd be so obsequious."
Talulah decided she was going to cause a huge scene there and make that stinky snake look utterly humiliated.
Socializing? Who told you to kidnap me?
He still wants to be my father.
You killed my father, and you won't get away with this either!
"Friendly reminder: Your father also knows that gentleman; to be precise, he's the shadow of his early life."
"My father isn't afraid of anyone, he lies without even thinking, and are we supposed to walk over there? Where's your car?"
Black Snake rolled her eyes at Talulah. "You burned out the car's engine half a month ago, and it's still under repair."
"I assumed that a nobleman like yourself would have at least dozens of luxury cars gathering dust in the underground garage beneath the castle."
"Alas, this is also related to that gentleman."
The black snake wrapped itself up thickly and also put a cotton-padded coat on Talulah.
Their territory was located in the north, quite a distance from the Mobile City.
Everyone knows the economic situation in Ursus; you'd be lucky to even finish repairing your car in a month.
The two braved the wind and snow to reach Master Huang's territory in Ursus. Upon arriving at their destination, Talulah was surprised to discover just how enormous the castle before her truly was.
"Such a tall castle, I wonder how much blood and sweat of suffering people it represents."
"Come on, you can insult me with that, but Mr. Huang isn't that kind of person. At least in my eyes, he's practically a perfect emperor, except for not being from Ursus."
Black Snake's tone was filled with deep regret, especially for the peaceful houses and roads next to Master Huang's castle.
Over the years, Master Huang has made remarkable contributions to the development of this territory, providing a wide range of welfare benefits and ensuring that no one becomes lazy, with everyone receiving appropriate compensation for their labor.
This is the almost perfect social structure of Ursus, but unfortunately, it only exists under Master Huang's rule.
That's why it refuted Talulah's words earlier. Although the castle where Master Huang lived was luxurious, the latter never let the employees who participated in its construction suffer any loss.
Every Ursus person who participated in building the castle received their own cozy house after the project was completed—this was the treatment one received for working under Master Huang.
"Nobles are all the same."
Talulah did not agree with this statement. She was powerless to resist and could only endure whatever was said.
"So warm..."
When Talulah arrived around Master Huang's castle, she discovered that there was no snow on the castle gardens, and the ground was even steaming.
The snow continued to fall from the sky, but it melted into water as soon as it touched the ground.
Indeed, both indoors and outdoors, Master Huang's castle grounds have a very complete heating system.
"Mr. Huang, it's me, Duke Koschei. I've come to visit you with my daughter." Black Snake knocked on the door.
According to Black Snake's observation, Master Huang rarely comes to Ursus.
But once they arrive in Ursus, the staff there immediately get to work and begin cleaning the surrounding area.
After all, the castle isn't cleaned all the time, and Huang Cao never does anything he considers unnecessary.
Two days ago, a large number of bear-like maids carrying brooms suddenly flooded into the castle and cleaned all the machines and dust in the castle.
If nothing unexpected happens, Master Huang will definitely be resting in this castle today.
Sure enough, the castle gates were opened immediately, but by machine, not by manpower.
As the two entered the castle, Talulah was quickly drawn to its interior decor.
It's luxurious yet understated, exuding a warm and inviting atmosphere. Overall, it's much more beautiful than the Black Serpent's castle.
It's also warmer now; the temperature outside on the snow feels like minus ten degrees Celsius.
Inside the castle, the temperature was at least in the twenties, as if summer had suddenly arrived.
Summers in Ursus are not hot; in fact, they can be considered a continuation of winter.
"Talulah, let me remind you, Mr. Huang is older than your father, and even older than your great-grandfather. Utopia, you should be familiar with that name."
"This territory is a utopia? Why have you never told me that?"
"I did say that, but did you really listen?"
Talulah was somewhat embarrassed, as she never listened to anything the snake said in order to avoid being influenced by it.
"Welcome to my humble abode, my partner, and this lady who isn't exactly known for her good temper."
