Nangong Wuyue studied Lil Pea for a long time and finally came to a conclusion: the little mermaid was as healthy as ever, or rather, she looked more lively than usual. The latter might be the reason why she was in a good mood after returning home.
"Was she that strong before?" Hao Ren asked the people around him while holding the baby mermaid. He had to be very careful because Lil Pea's tail was always smooth and she liked to wiggle around. If he was not careful, she would slip through a gap. Vivian shook her head and said, "I don't remember. Maybe she was really strong since she was born, but we just didn't notice it. Don't you know that you're Lil Pea's father? "
Hao Ren was just about to nod when he suddenly realized something and said, "Nonsense! Of course I didn't know! I'm not a fish! "
Lil Pea's sudden display of strength did not attract too much attention. After all, this "monstrous strength" was only relative to her size. The visual impact of a half-foot-long little mermaid lifting a table was just a little visual, but it was nothing to the superhumans in the room. However, Becky showed an unusual curiosity towards Lil Pea. She leaned on the table and stared at the little mermaid. "What is this? There are so many strange creatures in your world. "
As Hao Ren threw Lil Pea into the big basin in the water room as soon as he got home, Becky was busy with high-tech research in the living room. So, this was the first time she saw the little mermaid.
Hao Ren put the little mermaid who kept crawling on the table back into his hand and introduced her to Becky. "She's Y'lisabet, nicknamed Lil Pea. She's also from another world. I'm her guardian. Actually, you've seen this little mermaid before. She was in a pot... "
After Hao Ren's reminder, Becky finally remembered that she always saw Hao Ren holding a strange pot in his hand during the past few days in The Plane of Dreams. She was surprised and said, "Oh, so it's this little mermaid in there. You lied to me that it was some kind of alchemy tool. By the way, is it the custom of your world to raise a child in a pot?"
Hao Ren's forehead was sweating. He felt that Becky's misunderstanding of this world was getting more and more...
Hilda was the only one who did not participate in the conversation. She just ate quietly, as if she had no opinion on the food in this world. Vivian felt that she was neglecting her guest, so she took the initiative to start a conversation. "Hilda, how's my cooking? How does it compare to your family's imperial chef's? "
"Royal chef? There's no such thing. "Hilda shook her head." Like everyone else, I receive synthetic food according to the quota. It's a kind of tasteless organic matter. If I have to describe it, it's a little salty. Our ecological dome can only provide a very limited source of organic matter. Most of the time, the dome is only used to provide scientific samples and some compounds that cannot be synthesized. Most of the residents' food is the product of synthetic factories and recycling projects. This food … "
Hilda said as she pointed at the food on the table. She looked a little embarrassed. "It's exquisite, but I don't know how to describe its taste. My sense of taste seems a little weak in the face of such complex things. Anyway, it tastes good. Thank you very much for your hospitality. If it's possible, I hope to bring some back and let others have a taste."
Vivian suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She felt as if she had said something she should not have said. She originally thought that Hilda was after all the Elven Queen. Even if she came from a world where resources were starting to dry up, she should still live the life of a queen. But she, like Hao Ren, had underestimated the terrible situation of the Aerymian elves.
Vivian's poverty seemed to be nothing in front of Hilda.
Perhaps it was this somewhat embarrassing topic that cooled the atmosphere at the table. In the end, the meal ended in a dull atmosphere. Only two people maintained their usual strong appetites: the growing Lil Pea and the simple-minded Lily. Hao Ren envied them from the bottom of his heart.
After lunch, without waiting for Hilda to speak, Hao Ren took the initiative to take the anxious Elven Queen to the basement. The MDT had already set up one of the hibernation pods here. Hao Ren pointed the coffin-like device to Hilda and said, "You just need to lie down in there. I'll upload your transmigrator characteristics to the database. The relevant departments will find your home."
Hilda did not express any opinion on the coffin-like design of the hibernation pods. There was no such thing as a taboo in her hometown. Under Hao Ren's guidance, the Elven Queen lay down in the hibernation pod. Before the device closed, she looked into Hao Ren's eyes and said, "Please be quick. Living in such a rich environment every day is a kind of torture for me."
The hibernation pod closed. Hao Ren stood beside her for a while before he moved on to the next task.
He turned on the MDT and followed Raven 12345's instructions to find the official message release interface of the local universe channel. Finally, he found the broadcast authority that belonged to him. He had never paid attention to the release module before because he felt that he could not keep up with the high-level conversations in the local universe channel. So, he just watched without saying a word. Ever since he became an inspector, he had been lurking in the dark for a few months. The rumor of a deep-sea Mud Monster appearing among the Imperial Commissioner had begun to spread in the channel and various information distribution stations. Today, he finally had the chance to say something in the universe channel.
"By the way, is there anything I need to pay attention to when releasing an official message?" It was the first time that Hao Ren came into contact with this thing. He felt a heavy sense of mission. So, he was very worried and consulted his MDT. He felt very nervous now, just like when he first went to the school radio station to read a script for the first time in his third year of junior high. The difference was that the basic content of the script he read in his third year of junior high was to help the teachers and students find lost and found items. But now, he had to announce it in the universe channel …
Well, it was still lost and found. There seemed to be no difference. It was just that the lost and found item this time was bigger.
Hao Ren immediately relaxed.
The MDT explained the various official release formats and channel operations. These operations had taken into account the different levels of civilization and cultural structure of the participants in the local universe channel. So, it was simplified to the greatest extent. Not only was there a special translation template at the receiving end, but it was also very easy to operate at the broadcasting end. Hao Ren quickly filled in the announcement. In this small basement, he completed his first broadcast to the universe.
"Special announcement message — local universe channel, originating from the first galaxy — Kuiper Station, to the universe. Inspector Hao Ren has found a wrecked spaceship without obvious markings in the Plane of Dreams. The spaceship is believed to have originated from the Surface World. The time of the accident is estimated to have occurred two months ago (Kuiper Station provides the time conversion algorithm). The characteristics of the spaceship are now announced. All civilizations or individuals in the universe who hear this broadcast and know the origin of the spaceship, please contact the station master of Kuiper Station immediately. Note: This is a special event that may affect the fundamental balance of the universe. It is recommended to set it as a Level 3 priority event. Please see the attachment for the characteristics of the spaceship. End of broadcast. "
Earth was not a prominent civilization sphere in the universe, and there were no other registered civilization systems around Earth. So, Hao Ren used Kuiper Station as the starting point for the broadcast. The sparsely populated but busy transit station was his office in this sector. At least, that was what was written on his staff card.
After sending the message, Hao Ren let out a long sigh. He was not used to such a serious document. He wanted to say something like, "I saw a 600-meter-long spaceship outside two days ago. Which one of you lost it?" Unfortunately, considering that this was his first time making a statement, he had to hold back the serious announcement in order to leave a good impression on others.
The MDT even said, "Oh, doesn't that sound like a retired veteran …"
Hao Ren did not have time to argue with the MDT because he found that his broadcast was automatically locked on the homepage of all channels by the data link and pushed to the network of every civilization in the universe with the highest priority. Then, the message from various regions exploded like a flood.
"Unencrypted Message – Directional Reply. Dan – Toin Civilization Circle acknowledged. Investigation will be launched."
"Unencrypted Message – Directional Reply. Chattar Civilization Circle acknowledged. Investigation will be launched."
"Unencrypted Message – Directional Reply. Suharr Satellite Station acknowledged. Forwarded to all merchant groups. Investigation will be launched."
"… Kerbal Civilization Circle acknowledged. Investigation will be launched."
Every civilization in the universe that was qualified to stand on the stage of Stellaris would inevitably be connected to the data link provided by the Empire. Only the Empire's spokesperson was qualified to make official announcements on this link. These announcements were always the most important information on the link. Without exception, they were related to the rise and fall of a civilization, and even the lifeblood of the entire universe. Hao Ren had not realized the significance of what he had experienced so far. But the listeners of the data link would not belittle his broadcast.
These explosive, serious and sincere replies from various interstellar civilizations made Hao Ren a little dizzy. He felt like he had become a big shot in a flash. He even felt a little embarrassed. But soon, his fellow inspectors gave him some sedatives in the official message exchange channel. Hao Ren suddenly realized that he was really just a rookie.
"Where's the picture? — Inspector Tunalar of the Dan – Toin Civilization Circle. "
"Did you click on the attachment to upload? — Inspector Loken of the Kelsen-Whorf Civilization Circle. "
"No picture, no truth. — Inspector Ron of the Kerbal Civilization Circle."
"Newbie, don't panic. We're all newbies. Don't stoop to the level of those old guys. — Senior Inspector Fandral Pockhelm of the Arcturian Civilization Circle."
Hao Ren was speechless.
The corporate environment was really too f * cking bad.
