I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield Chapter 956 - 623: The Mole, Catherine Returns (Part 3)

Since partnering with Qin Tian and acquiring the resources of Cold Tree, the expansion speed of these cities has been rapid, even surpassing the Ice Extreme Pass.

In terms of foundation, Qin Tian’s Ice Extreme Pass naturally cannot compare to a Holy Blood Clan like the Leng Family.

However, currently, the Ice Extreme Pass is the only S-class project in the Pluto development plan, receiving the most preferential policies and resources from the Empire, becoming the primary destination for foreign investigation teams.

And when the capacity of the Ice Extreme Pass reaches its limit, the Leng Family’s cities naturally take on the excess influx, grabbing a share of the benefits, achieving a win-win situation for Qin Tian and the Leng Family.

As the wave of immigration continues to surge, precise implementation of various policies occurs, and major capital and forces root themselves in Pluto, the attitude towards this once desolate planet has undergone a dramatic shift—from initial observation and testing, questioning and hesitation, quickly transforming into recognition and popularity, even reaching a frenzy of admiration.

Every day, there are millions of immigration applications submitted online waiting for review, and this number continues to grow at a shocking pace.

Pluto has completely shed its former desolate reputation, becoming the hottest planet within the entire Empire, from the Central Star Realm to the Eight Great Star Realms, citizens from all over the Empire converge on Pluto, just to find their place on this planet full of opportunities and wealth, carving out their piece of the world.

For Qin Tian, this period can be described as both painful and joyous.

As the Guardian Envoy of the Ice Extreme Pass and a core leader of Pluto’s development, seeing the population in his domain grow day by day, countless talents voluntarily joining the Ice Extreme Pass and contributing to city development, the sense of achievement and gratitude he feels is indescribable.

But at the same time, the influx of personnel and major forces also brings enormous pressure to Qin Tian.

Although internal affairs are fully managed by Zhuge Xuanting and military matters have Ran Tu, Li Qi, Xue Wuyang, and Zhou Ziming backing him up, many core decisions and major issues concerning the Ice Extreme Pass’s development still require his personal decision-making and determination.

Especially as the Ice Extreme Pass, being the only S-class project on Pluto, is heavily monitored by the Empire’s central government, with various central departments and agencies frequently sending people to investigate, visit, and supervise.

Many leaders require Qin Tian to personally receive, accompany, sign, approve, and handle various occasions, almost turning him into a constantly operating "reception machine" and "signing machine."

He finally understands why those in high positions often say "time does not belong to oneself."

Every minute and every second of his is filled with these cumbersome tasks, leaving almost no moment of idle time.

The only solace is that he possesses duplication abilities, and the duplicates can share some of his strength and perception.

During this period, many of his duplicates have been assigned various roles, some focused on strengthening weapons, some deeply involved in manufacturing explosive iron balls, while others are sent to the Ice Extreme Pass’s surroundings to clear out the ice beast groups harassing the areas, ensuring city safety.

After a period of adaptation, Qin Tian has gradually become accustomed to this intense pace.

As various tasks gradually streamline, more talents find suitable positions and take charge independently, freeing up his time and energy.

Though still busy, at least there’s room to breathe, and he finally can spare some time to prepare for the Nine Stars Martial Arts Competition half a year later.

A month quickly passes, the immigration wave on Pluto remains hot, and the Ice Extreme Pass undergoes rapid transformation with daily construction, changing appearances every day.

On one ordinary yet busy morning, a significant "distinguished guest" arrives in Qin Tian’s study.

Catherine, bringing back Xue Wuyang’s son, has returned.
