Chapter 691: Chapter 500: Interstellar War
Meanwhile, Earth reporters also provided detailed reports of the events on Kebi Star.
Major social media platforms, portals, and news push notifications were all covering Lu Li’s heroic deeds.
"The Eternal Star Lord Displays His Might Once Again!"
"Are Alien Civilizations Really This Advanced? Luckily, We Have the Great Eternal Star Lord!"
"Terrifying Antimatter Bomb — Power Covering 20 Light-Years, Who Can Stop It?"
"Blessed with Courage and Valor, the Eternal Star Lord Creates Glory!"
"What Will Be the Outcome of the Eternal Star Lord’s Battle with a Top Alien Civilization?"
Three articles.
Five articles.
Dozens to hundreds of articles.
Almost the entire online media landscape was reporting this incident.
Many journalists originally thought that such an earth-shattering event would definitely reap a massive amount of traffic.
However, to the disappointment of these journalists and their media companies, the response was not quite what they had imagined.
The news did attract a lot of netizens to come and watch, but it wasn’t as sensational or explosive as they had expected.
For instance, on Douyin, a group of netizens watched videos and photos while commenting:
"Wow, the Eternal Star Lord is doing big things once again."
"Geez, just attending the ’Lord of Ten Thousand Stars’ funeral and you run into something like this. That’s luck, and I mean the enemy’s luck."
"Isn’t that the truth? You’d have to pick a specific time to bomb Kebi Star, making sure it’s a success in one go. With the Eternal Star Lord there, you’d be dreaming!"
"So it turns out the Eternal Star Lord isn’t just capable of easily destroying a star system, but can annihilate such a vast Star Realm in an instant."
"Tsk tsk, truly worthy of the Eternal Star Lord, really impressive."
The netizens appeared extremely calm, aside from verbal admiration, there wasn’t a hint of shock.
This reaction certainly surprised all the reporters.
They had thought that after Lu Li’s sensational actions on Kebi Star, Earth would be in shock.
Turns out everyone was just giving compliments?
Many reporters couldn’t understand what was going on.
Clearly, hundreds of stars were destroyed.
Such an impressive feat, why wasn’t anyone shocked?
Some of the more astute journalists pondered for a while and immediately figured out why.
Fatigue from aesthetic overload.
Exactly, aesthetic fatigue.
In the eyes of Earthlings, Lu Li has already achieved too many glorious feats.
Although his achievements this time on Kebi Star were even more dazzling, it was essentially of the same nature as destroying star systems or blocking gamma-ray bursts, without a "breakthrough."
After all, many people lack a direct understanding of power.
To give a simple example, if you tell someone about blowing up a planet versus blowing up a star.
People might know that blowing up a star is more impressive, but the direct impression in their minds is similar.
The sensations brought by Lu Li’s achievements this time felt the same to everyone. Although he destroyed hundreds of stars, people who have never left Earth, never truly interacted closely with stars, simply cannot imagine how sensational bombing hundreds of stars actually is, which led to their calmness.
That’s one point.
The second point, humans on Earth did not directly feel the overwhelming pressure that comes with an antimatter bomb attack.
It’s like why some people make cynical remarks when they see others suffering?
Isn’t it just because such people haven’t personally experienced it!
Naturally, after seeing reporters’ reports, Earthlings all remained very calm.
Not only did people appear calm, but the popularity of these news stories was not even as high as one other story.
And that other story was closely related to many people on Earth.
This news was more like a recruitment advertisement than news.
The person posting the recruitment advertisement is "Eternal Star Lord’s" office spokesperson and AI assistant Nuwa.
The recruitment content: Now, the "Eternal Star Lord’s" office is negotiating with allied countries to develop the nearby Proxima Centauri and is officially recruiting a batch of civil engineers, electrical engineers... no fewer than 100,000 people, with a bricklayer’s daily wage not less than 10,000 soft girl coins, a carpenter’s daily wage not less than...
The compensation is very generous.
For instance, a bricklayer’s daily wage reached 10,000 Huaxia Coin.
Why offer such generous compensation?
The main reason is for off-planet labor.
After all, Australian bricklayers’ daily wages have already exceeded 4,000 Huaxia Coin.
If the pay for off-planet labor were low, it might not attract anyone.
Many netizens saw the generous treatment and suddenly went wild.
"Holy crap!"
"Earn 10,000 bucks a day as a bricklayer?"
"Damn, why didn’t I learn to be a bricklayer back then?"
"Haha, I’m a professional carpenter, been out of work recently, and now the ’Eternal Star Lord’ office is hiring, I’m going to apply, earning 8,000 a day, working for a year and I’d basically be financially free."
"Brother, take a closer look, the minimum labor term is three years."
"Isn’t three years even better? Work three years as a carpenter, earn over 7 million Huaxia Coins, and I can lie down and enjoy the rest of my life."
"Let’s go, sign up, this is the chance to get rich."
"Work hard and get rich, it’s never deceived me. I really can’t believe it, you can get rich by working."
"Others are still doing overseas labor, and I’m going to do off-planet labor."
"Don’t be so quick to get cocky, you don’t even know if they’ll take you."
"Wow, salaries for electrical engineers range from 1 to 1.8 million Huaxia Coins a year? Ten times what we have here. If you perform well, you can earn up to 6 million annually?"
"Money won’t be worth much in the future."
