Lu Zhou didn't expect the romantic and meaningful Valentine's Day gift he had devised was actually stolen by the investment banks on Wall Street.
In just a few days, the stars near the solar system had all been taken.
What was baffling was that the 68 K-type main-sequence stars within 20 lightyears were not enough. Some investment banks even put their hands on red dwarfs and blue giants.
In some sense, there was nothing wrong with this.
As long as someone could withstand the raging solar winds and tens of thousands of times the solar system's radiation, in theory, red dwarfs and blue giants had habitable planets.
However, it wouldn't be very comfortable to live on.
Also, there were some interesting people who regarded obtaining citizenship certificates and lands from planets as a postmodern "hobby". Even though it was something that was not legally recognized, for many people, this was pocket change.
