Chapter 882: 938, Planetary Miner
Brandon said loudly, “Now, there is a particular job position that is severely short-staffed, and the salary for this position is especially generous. This is where the Skuru people need everyone’s help!
This job position is—planetary mining worker.”
“Planetary mining worker?” Everyone on the spaceship fell into silence simultaneously.
They did not know what a “planetary mining worker” was, but from the name alone, it did not sound ordinary, and surely the job would not be simple.
“Exactly,” Brandon continued to explain. “A planetary mining worker is one who goes to Bona Star, near Skru Star, to collect minerals.
On Bona Star, ordinary robots can hardly operate and are incredibly inefficient, and ultra-precision professional excavation equipment is too expensive.
Bona Star has several seasonal strong wind zones where even skilled Skrull people, despite wearing professional mining exoskeletons, cannot work. Only practitioners above Third Order can adapt to the environment there, which places the threshold extremely high.
That is why the Skrull people are looking to employ everyone.”
Listening to Brandon’s words, there was another bout of silence among the crowd.
After about a dozen seconds, a man with a disheveled beard in the crowd asked, “You’ve said so much, but there’s only one thing I understand—that planetary mining is not a good job, right?”
If it really was a good job, it surely wouldn’t be this starved for manpower, right?
Since this job is short on hands, that indirectly suggests that the job isn’t all that great.
Brandon did not dare to answer this question directly.
He loudly guaranteed, “However, everyone pay attention, I can personally guarantee that in this position, you will be paid the same as Skrull citizens! Whatever amount of money Skrull citizens make, you will make the same, without a single penny less.
Moreover, this job is very safe, definitely much safer than mining coal on Blue Star, I can assure you!”
“Well then… alright.” After a long time of contemplation, most of the defectors present gradually accepted the arrangement and agreed to become planetary mining workers.
After all, they were already in space, so it’s not practical to expect the spaceship to turn around and go back.
And despite their large numbers, even if all 500 of them banded together, they would not be a match for Brandon alone.
They might as well think about what to do after they arrive at Bona Star, hoping that the job of “planetary mining worker” is not so dreadful.
…
After discovering the truth, the gathered people began to disperse gradually.
Everyone started to don the light power exoskeletons distributed by the AI “Ring Energy” to experience what it was like to wear the exoskeletons.
Having dealt with this group of people, Brandon also let out a sigh of relief.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of these people, but his propaganda video still needed to be shot. He needed to focus on these people and required their cooperation.
However, before filming the video, he must contact Emperor Manina, as he had important matters to report.

…
Brandon went alone into a secluded and unoccupied cabin on the troop transport spaceship and dialed Emperor Manina’s number.
Manina had just seen the intelligence minister, Xi Weng, and was still in work mode. He immediately ordered the AI Sunshine to connect the call.
“It’s Brandon, what do you need?”
On Brandon’s phone appeared Manina’s face, gentle yet still imposing.
“Your Majesty,” Brandon said solemnly, “I am now aboard the troop transport ship headed for Bona Star, taking 500 Blue Star Converts (the term Skrull people use for defectors) to the planet.
According to our current schedule, the Converts are expected to arrive at Bona Star tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. and begin their first day of work.
“I want to capture the entire first day of the Converts at work to use as propaganda material, so can I deliver the promotional video to you the day after tomorrow morning?”
What Brandon implied was that the video production cycle was too tight, and he was requesting an extension.
Manina also knew that pushing too hard wasn’t wise; the quality of the promotional video was more important than its speed.
He nodded and said, “Okay, the day after tomorrow morning I’ll wait for your video. Is there anything else?”
“There’s another matter that’s also very important.” Brandon said earnestly:
“Based on my observations of the Converts on the way here, they are quite resistant to the ‘planet mining job’ position, and there even have been minor riots!
If such a mindset continues, they are very likely to cause bigger trouble.
Even without causing bigger trouble, this resistant attitude will continuously affect their productivity and work efficiency.”
It is well-known that on a job where “people” are the main production carriers, hardworking and proactive workers often produce several times more than negative and idle workers.
“Hmm, so what are you suggesting?” Manina asked in return.
Brandon immediately answered, “My suggestion is to give each Convert a smartphone.”
“Give out smartphones?”
“Yes,” Brandon nodded. “However, before giving out the smartphones, we must clear the ‘high mortality rate of planet mining workers’ and other negative news from the planetary internet, and replace it with some positive news.
Once the Converts get their smartphones, they will definitely go online to search for information about the jobs they are about to undertake. Seeing positive information will effectively alleviate their anxiety and encourage them to be more proactive and optimistic.
This is the best solution I can think of at the moment.”
“That’s a good idea!” Manina looked at Brandon with new respect: “I didn’t expect you to be so quick-witted!”
“Your Majesty flatters me,” Brandon responded humbly.
Manina laughed, “Alright, in 6 hours I’ll have the smartphones delivered, and I’ll also have Xi Weng clear out those negative pieces of news you mentioned.
Brandon, make a good impression! If you do well, I’ll personally organize a grand wedding for you and Sherlin!”
Sherlin was the countess who had toyed with Brandon for over two weeks.
Upon hearing that name, Brandon’s face immediately fell.
Thinking of the mountain of various “props” used for adjusting moods at the countess’s house, he even felt a shiver run down his spine.
Noticing Brandon’s displeasure, Manina said with a smile, “Since you’re unwilling, after the great war, I’ll appoint you as the Governor of Blue Star to take charge of all the military and political affairs on Blue Star.”
“Governor of Blue Star?!” Surprise instantly filled Brandon’s heart.
The Governor of Blue Star could be said to be the Emperor of Blue Star, accountable only to Manina.
In terms of power, he would have more authority than even Chairman Hu Jing does now!
This was something he had long dreamt of!
“Your Majesty!” Brandon didn’t care if the other side could see him or not, he immediately knelt down: “I am willing to give my utmost devotion to you, to do all within my power, even if it means going through fire and water!”
“Good, then keep up the effort! When the day comes that you become the Governor of Blue Star, if you don’t like Sherlin, I can also arrange for you to marry another princess. Don’t disappoint my expectations!”
“Rest assured, Your Majesty!”
With this, the call came to a complete end, with both parties hanging up satisfactorily.
Manina shared Brandon’s ideas with Xi Weng, and with a full heart, Brandon continued shooting the promotional video.
