"Marry you?!"
Zeke suspected that his ears had heard it wrong.
In front of him, isn't she the King of Phoenix, Grace herself?
Would she ask him to marry her?
'Is she joking?!'
"You must be joking with me, right? This joke is not funny. You are the King of Phoenix. Are you worried about not getting married?"
Zeke looked at Grace with strange eyes.
Gael, next to him, was also vigilant at the moment and firmly grasped Zeke's clothes.
"I'm not joking!"
Grace looked very serious.
"I admit, at first, I looked down on you and thought you were a worthless person. But then I gradually discovered that you don't seem to be as bad as I thought, and it's not that you are incompetent."
"I didn't expect that you can not only build things like Baymax but also develop Iron Man, super soldiers, and even space battleships now... But, of course, I'm not marrying because you can build these high-tech things. I just like you!"
Grace finally defended herself.
"Could it be my handsomeness?"
Zeke said tentatively.
Although Zeke does not have Earth-shattering handsomeness, after some careful dressing, he can be regarded as a good-looking male god.
"Neither."
Grace said earnestly.
"I like you because you can stand up whenever you are in a crisis. This moves me!"
"There are many people with money, power, and ability... but can they stand up in times of crisis and take the initiative to accept challenges? This kind of courage is simply impossible for ordinary people to have."
When Country J ridiculed the Phoenix Kingdom, saying it was a small country, someone even almost usurped the kingdom.
Zeke took the initiative to fight back. He killed the armed forces supported by Country J in the Middle East and appeared with the Iron Man Legion.
The Three Countries' military exercise was at the door of the Phoenix Kingdom. The ministers and elders all chose to endure it for a while and step back to see the sky. Only Zeke chose to be hard-headed and created the super soldiers, scaring away the Three Countries.
Then Country A led the economic sanctions against the Phoenix Kingdom.
Everyone was helpless and did not dare to make any moves. They could only choose to bear it silently and kept going to diplomatic negotiations, hoping to solve the economic sanctions incident through diplomacy. But Zeke did the opposite and made a mess. After a super advertising campaign, he talked to the leaders of more than a dozen powerful countries at the press conference and used controllable nuclear fusion hydrogen bombs to shock and slap them all in the face.
Especially as soon as the warp drive came out, the leaders of these powerful countries were even more frightened!
Immediately after that, Zeke was dormant for half a year, and the Nine-Countries Anti-God Alliance incident happened. Although this incident was directed at Zeke, the Phoenix kingdom was afraid after being pressured by nine world powers.
Zeke not only fought back but even destroyed their capital cities, causing the nine countries' economies to regress in an instant by twenty years.
Finally, there is the alien invasion that happened a month ago.
That time is no longer the crisis of the Phoenix Kingdom but the end of all mankind and the world!
Zeke can wave his hand and leave calmly without risking confronting the aliens. But he still chose to appear and successfully saved the world and all of humanity.
Zeke's courage and ability completely conquered Grace.
"Yes, you are indeed right."
"I am such a brave man!"
Zeke nodded shamelessly and praised.
"However, you're not brave enough to ask me in person, right?"
"If I remember correctly, you were the one who wanted to get a divorce."
Zeke deliberately talked about their past.
"I regretted it!"
Grace said bluntly.
"I think you are a little unreliable occasionally, but most of the time, you are reliable and meet my mate selection criteria."
"You said that if it doesn't violate the moral code or make you commit a crime, you will not refuse it!"
"And... you dare say you didn't like me at all. Don't you even feel anything for me the slightest bit?"
Grace obviously lost her arrogance as the lord of a kingdom but looked at Zeke like a little girl and said.
"This..."
Zeke hesitated.
It must be a lie to say that Zeke has no feelings for Grace at all. He can be regarded as a man with standard aesthetics. As the so-called fair lady, Grace is a beauty in his eyes. Zeke doesn't dare to say he likes her, but he has a good impression of her.
Seeing Zeke's hesitant expression, Grace immediately smiled exceptionally brightly.
Before making this call, she had been worried that if she asked like this, wouldn't it be too embarrassing to be rejected ruthlessly?
But now, when Zeke hesitated, Grace realized that he was interested in her, but it wasn't strong enough, so he didn't show it much.
With this, Grace was completely relieved.
"Don't worry!"
Grace smiled and glanced at Gael next to Zeke.
"I understand the feelings between you and your little maid, so I am willing to be a mistress."
Is she mentally prepared for this?
If it wasn't for Jarvis' confirmation, and he heard it with his own ears, Zeke thought that the Grace in front of him was someone else's impersonation.
A dignified king willing to be a mistress shows how low Grace has put herself.
"Uh... this matter is too big. I have to think about it..."
Zeke was a little confused.
"Okay, then I'll give you time to think about it! Anyway, except Gael, I won't let anyone be above me. This is what you promised, and if you dare to go back on it, I will never forgive you for the rest of your life!"
Looking at Grace's serious expression, he knew she was not joking.
Then, Grace hung up the phone.
Zeke has not entirely recovered.
This day is so suspenseful.
Just two hours after the announcement of the global unification plan, Grace threw such a blockbuster at him, and Zeke's head was still a little dazed!
Grace's sudden request gave Zeke a headache.
However, Gael's attitude is extraordinarily enlightened.
"You don't have to worry about me, young master. As long as I can follow you, I will be very content."
Gael is the servant of the Qaringal Family. She has determined that following Zeke is her lifelong destiny from the moment she entered it. Therefore, no matter how many women Zeke has, she is happy as long as she can always accompany him.
In addition, she was deeply influenced by the polygamy system of the Phoenix Kingdom's nobles since she was a child, so Zeke having a few women is not a problem for her. And in her opinion, Zeke is such a capable man. He has now become the sovereign of the entire Zaft Federation. As lord of an absolute monarchy, a harem is simply a normal thing!
And just now, she also heard Grace saying she was willing to be the mistress, which made her completely let go of her vigilance.
"Gael, you are the only woman willing to accompany me to climb up from the bottom. So it's not enough to be by my side. I must make you my queen!"
Zeke poked Gael's nose and said with a smile.
"I had to study the mothership and deal with the Anti-God Alliance and then the aliens, but I haven't had time to prepare for the wedding I promised to you...but it will be soon! After I conquer the compression technology and destroy the Elkanza Empire, I will hold a grand wedding that attracts worldwide attention to marry you!"
Zeke knows that now is not the time to relax.
On the surface, the crisis of the end of the Earth has passed, but in fact, Zeke has not slackened and has been planning and preparing to deal with the Elkanza Empire.
The global unification plan is his first step.
Gather the world's top talents, provide them with technical support, and develop incredible scientific and technological projects, thereby significantly improving the progress of human scientific and technological civilization.
Of course, based on the current speed of development alone, even if the Earth is given another 100 years, it may not be able to catch up with the Elkanza Empire. But everything must have a starting point. So even if it loses to the empire in the end, Zeke can take all the human beings and withdraw directly to the Second Earth to continue developing.
One day, the current social civilization will become history, and the infinitely bright future will bloom with the most brilliant light in Zeke's hands.
"Okay!"
Gael smiled sweetly, her eyes narrowed into crescents with joy.
...
Immediately after the global unification plan was announced, it was launched worldwide.
"...As you can see, the boundaries between countries have been erased, and the armies in the two regions are cooperating harmoniously. According to the news from the Phoenix region, this barren land will undergo extensive rectification this year. Soon there will no longer be what we see as a desolate look, but a real shade of green!"
"Yesterday, the F region received the assistance of technical talents from the Zanarkand region and shared microbot technology for the first time! The factory in the picture no longer has any workers. The microbots can be seen everywhere on the ground and perform these operations!"
"After the strict screening, the A region finally selected the first batch of soldiers for the super soldier program in the Zanarkand region. Out of 300,000 soldiers in active service, only 1,091 passed the screening!"
...
All major TV stations around the world have already started interviews and reports.
As said in the report, the boundaries between countries have been erased, and nations will no longer form their own government but become regions and sub-states.
Zeke began to fulfill his promise and shared his microbot technology and super AI with all regions of the world, allowing more efficient mechanical labor to take over manual labor, significantly increasing the scale of production and development.
As for the original workers, it was true that they were all laid off. But their lives were not affected in the slightest, and they even got better benefits.
No electricity bill.
No education fee.
Even if they don't need dry goods, they can enjoy delicious meals for free every day.
Every month, they will be given new clothes. And due to the full use of the barren land, the urban population's living problem has been adequately solved, and all residences are also assigned by their region manager.
It can be said that everyone is living a life of worry-free food and clothing, and the problem of not having enough food in the past has been fundamentally solved!
Of course, people are just having fun, not work.
Countries have formulated a series of plans to solve this problem.
Such as reading.
The subsidy is graded, and the level you can get depends on your knowledge. Therefore, the higher the knowledge level, the higher the subsidy level you will get, and you will gradually become a talent in the new era and begin to participate in various research work.
If the level of knowledge is not ideal, you can choose the art industry that cannot be replaced by machinery or the service industry that requires a workforce.
If the level of knowledge is not ideal and they are unwilling to participate in any industry. Those who just want to eat at home and wait to die will be forced to enter the Second World and do mining in it.
The mining here can mean that they have to repeat a series of complicated processes to get the game coins of the Second World. They must pay enough game coins every month to maintain the region's minimum subsidy. And if their mining is good, there is a way to get more game coins, and the government will increase their subsidy level accordingly so that these people at the bottom have the hope of yearning for higher income.
If you don't want to do anything, don't need any subsidy from the government, and just want to rely on your parents and relatives to be a rogue all the time.
The government can't control such people, but that was before.
But after the new "Earth Law" came out, all these people had only one place to go - jail!
And their captivity is also very strange, only five minutes.
Five minutes later, when they come out of the mental cage, their mentality will have a subversive change. This way, not only a lot of time, manpower, and material resources, but even the prison cell can be saved.
