The situation is much the same on the other planets in the garbage galaxy; basically, all the enslaved races are secretly plotting their own schemes.
Although Li Xingkong did not descend into the interior of the planet, his Divine Sense had already swept over it.
The main reason was that the environment here gave a glimpse into the whole picture, not because the garbage and sewage on other planets smelled too bad and made it impossible for him to set foot on them.
These Snail People are making the most of everything. Other species on these planets can't survive because of their smell, so they specifically released many species that have no sense of smell.
Even on a planet that deals with sewage, Li Xingkong spotted the Cleaners, a common sight on Earth Star as well.
However, the scavengers here are a bit too exaggerated in size, with ordinary ones being over ten meters long, making them veritable deep-sea monsters.
As for the original species of this planet, there are no native species on this kind of planet. It is an uninhabitable planet affected by inferior planetary modification technology. It is a miracle that these species can survive.
After circling around several planets, Li Xingkong didn't linger there for long. He simply dealt with the Snail People on these planets and then headed towards the Snail People's core star system.
After leaving this garbage galaxy, we passed by two or three other galaxies filled with heavy industry.
The asteroid belts within these star systems were even contaminated, and the entire interior of the star systems appeared somewhat shrouded in mist. Pollutants from heavy industry filled the interior of the star systems. Li Xingkong only went in and circled around a few times, and the Magic Power shield surrounding him was contaminated into a black sphere.
There is also gravity inside galaxies; it's not that gas will unconditionally escape outside the galaxy after leaving a star.
It's important to know that even within the Solar System, you need the third cosmic velocity to leave a galaxy.
These heavy industrial planets contain most of the heavily polluting factories of the suzerain state, and the harsh environment there is naturally unbearable for ordinary people.
Most of the people living and working here are aliens who have undergone extensive mechanical modifications.
Although mechanical modification sounds like cybernetic implants, in reality, the modifications they underwent were far less sophisticated than those of implants in the cybernetic world.
Some people have hands and feet that are simply mechanical claws, only able to perform a grasping motion and unable to do anything else.
Li Xingkong only glanced at the heavily polluted galaxy before hastily retreating and taking a detour.
Although he might be unaffected by the pollution, what's the difference between entering such a galaxy and swimming in a cesspool!
After bypassing these star systems, Li Xingkong finally arrived at the core star region where the Snail People were gathered.
Upon entering the core star region, Li Xingkong noticed the difference. There were significantly more people here, and spaceships were moving back and forth quite frequently throughout the star system. Several planets were also brightly lit, presenting a scene of prosperity.
If Earth Star develops for a few more years, it might look like this too.
Li Xingkong used invisibility to fly into the interior of the star system.
"This galaxy has a really large population, and it's only a third-tier galaxy?"
Upon entering the galaxy, the Snail People gave Li Xingkong a brief introduction to the galaxy.
It didn't want to talk, but under Li Xingkong's control, it had no choice but to speak.
"Of course, the lower the level of a star system, the larger its population. Higher-level star systems are inhabited by high-ranking officials and nobles, who all have high standards of living, so they are naturally not so crowded."
"And you? Where do you live?"
"I... I live on the ship. The frigate pilot's household registration is tied to the ship; the ship lives, the pilot lives; the ship dies, the pilot dies."
"I mean, frigate pilots are supposed to be highly skilled workers, how can they be so degrading?"
Li Xingkong was somewhat puzzled. Pilots on Earth Star were so precious before. During wartime, shooting pilots who parachuted to safety would result in a military court-martial.
"With knowledge transplantation technology and gene therapy available, what's so precious about drivers? One injection and a whole batch is ready."
"It's so miserable, don't you have any human rights?"
"What are human rights? Are they something you can eat or something real?"
Li Xingkong was speechless for a moment; the difference in civilization made communication too awkward.
He felt sorry for the Snail People, but the Snail People didn't feel that way at all; instead, he thought Li Xingkong crazy.
Such a powerful person still has to live with those Divine Land; he deserves to have his own planet to live on.
"It's not good to keep calling you that, let me give you a name."
"I have my own name, my name is..."
"That was your name as Snail People, but now you're a spirit, how can that be the same?"
Li Xingkong didn't even know what his original name was. Now that he had a new life form, he should have a new name.
"You can call yourself Xiaowo, since you do look like a snail anyway..."
"It sounds awful, but it's only two characters, so I'll listen to you."
The Snail People spirit made a few complaints, but still complied.
"What do you mean? There are rules about the number of characters in a name?"
Li Xingkong clearly didn't know why just two words had made this Snail People change their name.
"The fewer the words, the higher the citizen's status."
Xiaowo gave a simple explanation.
"What was your original name?"
" Zhangyuge."
"Puff!"
Li Xingkong lost control of his expression; the name he chose was just too fitting.
Chatting along the way, Li Xingkong got closer and closer to the Snail People's star system, and soon reached the planet's near-Earth orbit.
Looking down from high above, the entire planet appears to have a very regular layout.
Most areas are filled with towering skyscrapers, densely packed together, and most of the Snail People live in these skyscrapers.
Around each area densely populated with high-rise buildings, there is a grid-like distribution of factory buildings.
"Nursing area, canteen, exercise area, school...""
Each cell contains the same type of organization.
There are no private enterprises within Snail People; everything is state-owned, from clothing and food to housing and transportation, all are under the unified management of the state.
Due to advanced technology and the large number of enslaved races, all Snail People do not need to work; even the laziest person will be supported by civilization until death.
However, ambitious Snail People will still choose to compete for jobs, since having a job means better treatment.
Of course, not everyone's ambition will yield results; only the one who successfully secures the position will receive benefits, while the others will get nothing.
After all, Snail People's position is determined by genes from birth, and not every position is open to competition.
This is equivalent to the fact that their majors and universities are already determined from birth.
This intense sense of destiny made Li Xingkong extremely uncomfortable.
