The Marshal hadn't taken off his uniform yet.

On the screen, a soldier in a dark and solemn uniform was relaxing in a warm yellow armchair. He lowered his eyes slightly to look at the cat on his lap. His hand was gently rubbing the little animal's exposed belly. The little guy reached out a paw towards him, as if trying to hook onto his badge.

Sunlight spilled in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Even though the soldier's expression was cold and distant, the sunlight still quietly plated a layer of soft glow in the room.

Light and dark, cold and warm.

It was like a beautiful painting.

The audience that had gathered their friends to watch the show held their breaths for a moment.

Then, in the next second, the screen went black.

Woo — — Wah!!!!!

It was turned off!!!

The audience slammed the table sadly, their hearts collapsing.

Too beautiful!

Too beautiful!!

There were hundreds of billions of people in the Empire of Sintes's star system, but no one could ever connect the words "Marshal Ji Xiuyun" and "beauty" together.

Ji Xiuyun rarely appeared in front of the media. He was always on the battlefield and in the military camp. Even his mecha named Silver Blade had more photos circulating on the internet than him.

And the few times he appeared, if he didn't just come back from the battlefield, he was on his way to the battlefield.

At that time, every nerve and cell in his body was tense. Almost no reporter could hold on for more than three minutes in such a state.

Praises for this young Marshal's numerous achievements were always accompanied by words like "sharp blade", "god of war", "iron blood", and "invincible body".

Among the reporters who had faced the Marshal, those who were mentally weaker, didn't use words like cold-blooded, domineering, and ruthless to describe this general who was born and raised on the battlefield.

Words about beauty could never reach the marshal's body.

But after seeing the scene just now, people seemed to understand the beauty of steel in that moment.

Their appreciation of beautiful things was abruptly interrupted. At the same time, they felt regret, but at the same time, a wild passion for creation burst forth!

In the era of the big universe, there were plenty of resources, and the living area was vast. Aside from the war-torn areas, most humans were satisfied with their material needs.

When one's material needs were highly satisfied, human beings attached great importance to the pursuit of spiritual entertainment and self-worth.

This was an era where geniuses emerged in large numbers from the entertainment and art industries.

Their reverence for the Marshal of the Empire and their longing for the ancient creatures of Earth made these artists, who were pursuing their love and dreams, ecstatic.

The man and the cat, who had unknowingly stirred up a craze, were looking at each other in the living room.

"I forgot." Ji Xiuyun was the first to admit his mistake.

Not only did he forget that the Yue An didn't know how to use an optical computer, he also forgot that the Yue An couldn't read the language of this era.

After all, the communication between him and Yue An had never been hindered by any major obstacles.

Yue An more or less understood what was going on when he saw the scene.

He flipped his little belly and hugged the Marshal's hand with his four paws and rubbed against it comfortingly. "Meow …"

Ji Xiuyun scratched his chin and picked up the camera that had fallen to the ground. Then, he opened the social platform's page on his bracelet.

No one would believe that the Marshal's personal account had been open for a few decades and had hundreds of billions of followers. However, there were only a few dozen posts.

As he scrolled down, he saw reports of victory from a certain galaxy, planet, and battle.

It was precisely because it was rarely used that it was ranked last on the list of optical computers.

However, he didn't expect that the Yue An would open them one by one. He even unintentionally clicked on the live broadcast option.

Ji Xiuyun looked at his own homepage and looked at the four-minute live broadcast that had been automatically sent out by the system.

This live broadcast perfectly destroyed the formation of his previous content. However, the data related to this content was rising rapidly.

This was the most widely used social platform in Jinjiang on the entire Star Web.

Although it was called a social platform, it actually covered a wide range of intellectual copyrights from all walks of life. The platform's services included publishing, uploading, promotion, and copyright protection.

This included video, text, learning, graphics, and other aspects. It was a rather prosperous comprehensive platform.

Live broadcasts were not uncommon on this platform. In fact, it was the norm.

The norm meant that there was already a mature industry chain.

The Marshal's gaze fell on the delete button of the video. He was hesitant.

Yue An lay on the Marshal's lap with his little belly out and meowed.

"Hmm?"

Ji Xiuyun responded casually. However, he still didn't delete the video. He clicked on the backend account and glanced at the amount of money on it. He paused for a moment.

"This."

The Marshal reached out a finger and pressed against Yue An's chin. He exerted a little force to make Yue An look at the screen. "This is the money they gave you. Do you understand?"

"Meow." Yue An could still understand the numbers.

However, the Arabic numerals didn't change.

He counted and was shocked to find that there were eight digits!

Eight digits!!!

How many minutes had he played?!

He could buy a house in the Third Ring Road of the Imperial Capital!

"What do you want to buy?"

Although Ji Xiuyun asked this, his hands didn't stop moving. He directly opened the snack sales page on the Star Web.

Yue An looked at the price and patted the back of the Marshal's hand without hesitation.

"Meow!"

Give me all of them!

At this moment, Ji Xiuyun acted as if he could understand cat language. He decisively bought two servings of the most popular snacks on the first page. Yue An had eaten a few of them on the spaceship and liked them very much. The Marshal added ten servings for each of them.

Yue An preferred spicy food. Although he enjoyed other flavors as well, Yue An ate all the spicy food on the first day they returned to the spaceship.

Ji Xiuyun had always been astute in this aspect.

Yue An looked at the balance that hadn't been touched and then looked at Ji Xiuyun, who was still buying things for him. He flipped over and stepped on the Marshal's thigh and placed his two paws on the latter's chest. "Meow!"

"Hmm?" The Marshal stopped and leaned back slightly. "It will be delivered in half an hour."

"Meow!"

Yue An meowed and revealed his small fangs.

Ji Xiuyun held the two kitten paws on his chest in his hands. He lowered his eyes and looked at Yue An for a long time. Suddenly, he had an idea.

"You want to buy an energy crystal?"

"Meow!" Yue An's two cat eyes sparkled.

The Marshal's expression was cold as he looked into the pair of blue eyes. However, he couldn't stop his hands from messing around. He couldn't help but pinch Yue An's cheeks.

"That's not for sale," he said.

Due to the uniqueness of energy crystals, they weren't widely used in the market as a common civilian resource.

However, because they were natural, pollution-free, durable, and had sufficient energy, large-scale military and civilian industries could apply for reimbursement from the Empire every year based on their performance.

Planet Sintes was the Empire's imperial planet. Despite its large population, it had always maintained a very good natural environment. A large part of the reason was because of the resources used in industry and civilian industries, which were either solar energy or energy crystals.

Although people still used electricity, the sources of electricity were solar energy and energy crystals, which were clean, green, and pollution-free.

Due to various reasons, ordinary people couldn't easily buy energy crystals. Even if they were lucky enough to buy one, there wasn't any equipment on the market that could allow them to use energy crystals.

Therefore, energy crystals were not for sale. They were one of the resources that the Empire had a monopoly on.

Since Yue An did not get an answer that he was satisfied with, he immediately stopped pinching him. He even retracted his claws and little belly. Huffing and puffing, he ran to the floor-to-ceiling window that was covered with a plush carpet. He rolled on the ground and sunbathed while lying on his stomach.

The Marshal wasn't angry at being abandoned. He just continued to buy snacks for Yue An.

No one would chat with the Marshal about which snacks tasted good, or which snacks were delicious on the Star Web.

Therefore, Ji Xiuyun had no choice but to buy more than a hundred types of snacks according to the sales volume.

Then, he seemed to have thought of something. He entered a string of information into the search bar, switched to his own account, and closed the various interfaces in front of him. Only then did he turn to look at the little furball, who seemed to be covered in a layer of light under the sun.

"Energy crystals …" Ji Xiuyun said slowly. "It's not impossible to buy them."

When Yue An heard this, his ears suddenly stood up. He turned to look at Ji Xiuyun.

The Marshal just looked at him quietly.

Yue An was very smart. He jumped back with a "whoosh" and then rolled around the marshal's side a few times while meowing.

His two little paws stepped on Ji Xiuyun's legs, and even his meows became very sweet. He didn't have any stance at all. At first glance, it was obvious that he was a typical fence-sitter!

The Marshal looked at this little fence-sitter and said, "There are some in the black market."

"Meow!"

Then buy it for me!

Why didn't you say there was a black market earlier?

What's the point of keeping others in suspense?

If someone like you was in our clan, we would break your teeth and nail you to the wall!

Ji Xiuyun was one of the highest commanders in the military. In order to ensure his source of income and status, the Emperor generously gave him an Energy Ore Star.

Although Ji Xiuyun never cared about the Ore Star, the name of the Ore Star was still his.

Therefore, when the person in charge of mining the Ore Star handed in the account book every month, he would include an amount of Energy Crystals that was proportional to the income of the month.

In the past, Ji Xiuyun would usually hand over the Ore Star to the generals under his command and let them accumulate military strength.

Although he could earn a lot of money by selling Energy Crystals on the black market, for the Marshal, thousands of gold coins were not enough to exchange for the lives of his soldiers.

The reason why Ji Xiuyun's army was called the invincible Army of War was partly because the Marshal had been throwing Energy Crystals into the army for many years as if they didn't cost money.

Thinking of this, the Marshal turned his head and looked at Yue An, who couldn't help but step on his relaxed legs.

Oh, he now knew that cats had a habit of stepping on breasts.

Ji Xiuyun held the two furry paws and felt the little paws in his palm habitually opening and closing. He couldn't help but rub the pads between his paws.

He asked, "I give you 50 Energy Crystals every month. Isn't that enough?"

"Meow!"

Of course, it was better to have more Energy Crystals!

Ji Xiuyun seemed to understand Yue An's meaning. He calculated the price and said, "But with this amount of money, you can only buy about 10 Energy Crystals."

Yue An was speechless.

So I've already eaten tens of millions of Spirit Crystals?!

Yue An couldn't help but seriously consider whether he should continue his live streaming career.

He felt that he could earn hundreds of millions of Spirit Crystals a day just by live-streaming while he slept.

The Marshal looked at the cat, who was deep in thought. Just as he was about to reach out and pat his head, he heard the doorbell ring.

It was the snacks delivered by the delivery robot. It was delivered much faster than expected.

Along with the snacks, there were also a dozen or so books that looked particularly erotic at first glance.

Yue An looked at Ji Xiuyun with his round cat eyes and waited happily to be fed.

However, he watched as Ji Xiuyun put the snacks aside and put a transparent protective cover over the snacks. He locked the cover and opened one of the books in front of Yue An.

"Learn how to read. If you can understand one page, you will be rewarded with five bags of snacks," Mr. Marshal said.

Yue An was speechless.

That's not what you said when you bought snacks!

Ji Xiuyun ignored Yue An's complaining eyes and picked up the light pen again. He continued to think about how to put the cat tree in the living room perfectly.

He encouraged Yue An with a poker face, "Come on."

The marshal paused and added, "But you're a cat."
