The most crucial point is that there is constant warfare there!

Sometimes the officials on Aix Planet would scold ordinary citizens by saying, "Aren't you satisfied? You are living happily enough on Aix Planet! Look at the people on Ke Planet. If they could live the way you do, they probably wouldn't even dare to dream of it."

When these officials speak, they completely ignore the poorly-dressed commoners. Besides the fact that Aix Planet isn't at war, it's no better than Sek Planet.

Indeed, no one wants to go to a place that is at war all year round. Imagine, who would be willing to go to a place where even life is not guaranteed? No matter how well compensated, if you don't live to spend it, what's the point?

However, in order to send Jiang Cheng away as soon as possible, Charles I made heavy promises to those on diplomatic missions, assuring them of great rewards upon their return, as long as they could satisfy the alien from the Extraterrestrial Planet. Furthermore, he claimed that the alien promised to ensure their safety.

God knows when Jiang Cheng made such a promise, but he would indeed protect them. Charles I's words were almost like a blind cat catching a dead mouse by luck.

Thus, Charles I finally sorted out the selection of teachers, then invited Jiang Cheng to take a look. There wasn't much to see, after all, those teachers were all elderly gentlemen, and Jiang Cheng was unlikely to have any interest in them. Charles I just wanted Jiang Cheng to see the speed of his actions to curry favor with him, just a way to gain favor.

When Jiang Cheng saw these teachers, he realized that to win his favor, Charles I had selected people who weren't all appropriate.

For instance, there were a few elder men with white beards who needed to pause for breath every few steps, even with assistance. What could they do in such a state?

Sek Planet is neither suitable for retirement, nor likely blessed with great feng shui for settling down.

So Jiang Cheng had to reiterate his requirements, stating that he only needed basic teachers like those who could teach children to count and recognize characters, not such esteemed professors with flowing white hair. Of course, skilled craftsmen of higher caliber were welcome.

As for the Combat Instructors, Jiang Cheng had already asked them and found out that during their training on Ashek Planet, they had used weapons from Sek Planet.

"Haste makes waste" — Charles I didn't let his internal anxiety show. He hurriedly instructed his subordinates to follow Jiang Cheng's orders, ensuring not to keep the hero waiting.

After a flurry of chaos, the selected teachers were finally gathered again.

This time Jiang Cheng was satisfied. In a place like Sek Planet, where there's almost nothing, people need to start with the basics, hence they only needed teachers who could impart fundamental skills.

The knowledge these teachers had was enough for the uncultivated inhabitants of Sek Planet to learn from.

Seeing Jiang Cheng's satisfaction, Charles I subtly wiped the sweat from his forehead. Now he was behaving himself — even sending his mischievous son to Sek Planet to serve as the Aix Planet's ambassador there, knowing that Jiang Cheng wouldn't meddle with his doings over there.

Charles I stayed close to Jiang Cheng, partly to flatter him, and partly to accompany him, ensuring no one had the opportunity to whisper complaints into Jiang Cheng's ear; truly cunning.

But how could Jiang Cheng not understand his intentions? Before heading to the Aix Planet palace, he had already contacted his informants, who were ordinary citizens, the wealthiest among them a small businessman. According to their insights, after Jiang Cheng reprimanded Charles I, the latter became much more obedient, sending off his idle prince from Aix Planet and reducing several types of taxations. Word has it that the old fox Charles I has turned miserly, checking daily whether his income covered expenses, and his sleep has also deteriorated as a result.

This was something Jiang Cheng hadn't anticipated.

Seeing that the people of Sek Planet were beyond hope, Jiang Cheng was unwilling to waste more time with them; he had more important matters to attend to. However, leaving things unfinished wasn't his style, so he went to Aix Planet to recruit some useful talents, knowing that the adjutant alone was far from sufficient.

Fortunately, under the "enthusiastic assistance" of Charles I, the ruler of Aix Planet, his requests were quickly met. As Jiang Cheng was about to depart, Charles I, leading a group of ministers, lined up to see him off, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. To him, the drums and cheers of the honor guard sounded like beautiful music, which would normally rattle his nerves.

Now that the bane of his existence was leaving, Charles I felt extremely relieved. Suddenly, the alien stopped, seemingly recalling something.

Charles I's heart skipped a beat. Had he remembered something else?

Charles I hurriedly jogged over, respectfully asking if there was anything more his humble servant could do.

Jiang Cheng indeed remembered that he needed some basic tools, like saws and axes, and some more specialized tools that only craftsmen would know.

Charles I readily agreed, claiming Jiang Cheng didn't need to worry about such matters. He would ask those craftsmen about the tools related to their trade, ensuring they brought them to Sek Planet.

Jiang Cheng could travel freely within the universe, but ordinary people could not. However, they could travel within their star sector, all because of the existence of interstellar buses, generously provided by Ashek Planet, mainly to attract more talents to their planet.

However, boarding an interstellar bus wasn't easy; it required the highest ruler's autograph. Later, Ashek Planet objected to this practice because it meant only high-ranking officials or their offspring could board the buses. It's hard for regular people to get the ruler's signature, especially when rulers are often on vacation or busy with travel. Eventually, under pressure from Ashek Planet, it was changed to require signatures from relevant departments, and Ashek Planet said no more.

However, there was one exception: Sek Planet, because constant warfare meant no organization survived long. Historically, there was one organization once, but it was deemed illegitimate by opposition forces, unqualified to represent Sek Planet, and was quickly overthrown. Thus, for many years, no resident of Sek Planet has ever boarded an interstellar bus. The adjutant's trip to Ashek Planet was a relic of long past days.
