Xu Sili rejected the maids' offer to serve him. He changed into a set of casual clothes and walked out of the sleeping quarters.
Captain Li Zheyu was already waiting outside. When he saw Ren Baqian, he immediately knelt down on one knee and lowered his head.
"Your Majesty."
"Your humble servant came late last night and frightened Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please punish me!"
He had gone to the main hall to check on the situation last night. When he heard the news and rushed back, the matter had already been settled and the doors of the sleeping quarters were closed. He had no choice but to wait until today to ask for punishment.
Xu Sili stopped in his tracks.
He did not expect the captain to protect him. When he saw the [Respect] tag above his head, he knew that he was still loyal and did not say anything else.
He walked straight ahead. When he passed by Li Zheyu, he stopped and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.
As the word 'Miss' appeared, a not too long HP bar appeared. Compared to Si Sheng's HP bar, the others were not enough.
Perhaps in this world, Si Sheng was the strongest.
Xu Sili pursed his lips and continued to look at Li Zheyu's HP bar.
He still could not see the HP bar, but it confirmed Xu Sili's speculation — it seemed that he could only see the HP bar when someone was attacked.
Xu Sili pondered and continued to walk forward.
On the other hand, Li Zhecheng was slightly stunned. He had never expected that the young Emperor would do such a thing when he walked past him.
Was this … pardoning him so that he would not have to blame himself?
He had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Although the Emperor was still the same as before, he felt that His Majesty was more magnanimous now.
This His Majesty …
Was really different!
Li Zhe Cheng stood up with a complicated expression on his face, while the guards around the palace also breathed a sigh of relief and revealed a joyful expression.
"Brother Li, His Majesty did not punish us. That's great!"
"That's right, that's right. When Lord Si Sheng came out just now, we were scared to death …"
"That's right. Lord Si Sheng is really too strong. He came back without a sound. I didn't even know when he came back."
By this time, Xu Sili had already walked far away. The bodyguards who were familiar with Li Zheyu unexpectedly began to talk to him with smiles on their faces.
Li Zheyu didn't say a word, but his face slowly darkened.
"His Majesty is not punishing us because he is benevolent. It is not a reason for us to neglect our duties!"
He had always been kind to others, and now that he was flipping out, no one dared to make a sound.
"You still have the nerve to joke around? Lord Si Sheng aside, what about Her Majesty? "
"How did His Majesty get out of the palace last night?"
"Who can tell me?!"
The guards looked at each other and then lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.
Li Zheyu snorted heavily.
He was not old, only 27 years old, but his martial strength was not weak. Otherwise, he would not have been able to convince the crowd and become the leader of the guards.
"Everyone who guarded the palace last night will receive their punishment when it's time to change shifts. I will also go later."
"All of you, be 120% alert. If yesterday's incident happens a second time, you can forget about your duties. Go home and nurse your children while you still can!"
Even Her Majesty, a delicate and weak youth, did not notice when she left the palace. These people were simply a disgrace to him.
Most of the bodyguards had military backgrounds. At this moment, their faces and ears turned red. They hurriedly saluted and replied in unison, "Yes!"
Only then did Li Zhecheng nod his head in satisfaction. Then, he lifted his feet and quickly chased after Xu Sili. He solemnly followed behind the guard.
It was his duty to protect Her Majesty's safety.
If another accident happened, he would have to take the blame and resign as the leader of the guards!
Xu Sili did not know what Li Zheyu was thinking and did not pay attention to what was happening behind him. When he heard that Li Zheyu was following him, he did not care.
He was looking at his status panel and was pleasantly surprised to find that his experience points had increased!
Upgrade Distance: 34/300
His experience points were still zero yesterday … Then, Xu Sili saw the unread notification.
Meditation could increase his experience points!
Although the increase was a little slow, it only increased by 34 points after a night of meditation. It would take at least nine days to level up.
However, at least he knew a way to level up.
Before he saw Mary being killed, he still wanted to level up by killing monsters like in the game.
Of course, these monsters included humans.
But now, he changed his mind. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he did not want to break his moral bottom line.
Xu Sili closed the status panel in a good mood and was led to the dining area by the head maid.
The palace was very big and splendid. The dining table was also very long and could seat dozens of people.
However, as he sat alone at the head of the table and looked at the empty palace, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely.
Xu Sili shook his head inwardly.
Forget it. Anyway, in the closed beta test, not to mention Mom, Dad, and Big Brother, he would definitely see Second Brother.
With Second Brother's personality, he was the one who got on the plane that day. Although he sent that message to Second Brother, he would probably still go crazy.
When I see Second Brother, I can invite him to the palace.
I should take advantage of this time to level up and then hold the power in my hands. Then, I will be able to protect a Level 0 noob!
Hmph, let's see if he can still say that this project is not good.
Xu Sili thought happily. He was in a good mood as he ate the breakfast that was not particularly delicious.
The food in the Roland Empire could not be said to be dark cuisine, but for him who was used to eating good food, the finesse was still lacking.
He would just have to make do with plain tea and plain food.
Xu Sili drank another mouthful of milk. It was warm and sweet. This was enough.
After breakfast, he slowly drank the flower tea and began to think about the next itinerary.
According to the summary from last night, the next three things were the most important.
1. Ten million Universe Credits as a Star Alliance fee.
2. Increase his personal strength, which was to level up.
3. Increase the public's support rate.
The first two things were of equal priority. Only the public's support rate could be delayed. After all, it could not be rushed.
Ten million Universe Credits …
What a headache!
Xu Sili flipped through Snow Roland's memories. They were mainly things related to the Galaxy.
Then he realized …
The Roland Empire could go on the Star Web!
The Star Web was a network that connected all the members of the Star Alliance. It included 58 countries and forces, including more than a dozen galaxies. Some countries even occupied one or more galaxies.
For example, the Flanda Interstellar Federation, which was ranked second in terms of overall strength, owned an entire galaxy. The welfare level was very high, and it attracted countless interstellar immigrants.
Snow Roland had wanted to go before, but she was almost killed by Si Sheng.
Xu Sili was not in a hurry to go on the Star Web.
His cheat was not on the Star Web. Although he could sing, this was a game world. His songs were mostly from reality.
For example, the songs he sang in reality were very popular in the Star Age. Even Snow Roland had heard of them.
The most important thing was that the game team was very particular about copyrights. They marked the original singer, and he was no exception.
He used the search engine in his communication device and found himself.
Xu Sili, a heavenly singer from ancient times. He was overflowing with talent. At the peak of his career, he fell like a meteor, leaving behind countless popular classics.
"…"
According to the time in the game, ancient times were tens of thousands of years ago. It was a miracle that his songs could still be passed down to this day.
That was why the game team was very good at licking his boots.
This cut off his source of income.
It would be very difficult for him to become famous overnight through singing. It should be possible to make a small amount of money, but it would not be profitable if it was too little, so there was no need to rush.
After all, if it was so easy to earn ten million, Snow Roland would not have run away.
Today, it was better to find out how to level up.
This was a game world. If he did not kill people, he could kill monsters.
99.9% of the territory was occupied by interstellar beasts. Wasn't this setting just to give the players experience?
Of course, he was an NPC now. He was not in the same system as the players, so he had to experiment first.
Thinking of this, Xu Sili looked at Janice and asked her where he could get interstellar beasts.
"Your Majesty, why are you asking about interstellar beasts …?" Janice asked.
Xu Sili pursed his lips and did not speak. After a long time, he said, "Nothing, I just want to get to know them."
He chose his words carefully. "My eldest brother and second sister went to the front line and accidentally died for the country. That was why I inherited the throne."
"But I have always lived in seclusion in the Imperial City. I rarely had the chance to come into contact with interstellar beasts. I have not even killed a normal interstellar beast with my own hands."
"Tell me, how can I sit on the throne like this? How can I lead the people of the Empire to fight against the interstellar beasts and win the next beast tide? "
The beast tide had no pattern and could come at any time.
Because of this, the Roland Empire had not been able to recover in the past hundred years. Every time it was rebuilt, it would be destroyed and forced to retreat.
Three years ago, the Roland Empire lost two important members of the royal family because of the beast tide. They were the eldest prince and the second princess, two powerful Elementalists.
If they had inherited the throne, they definitely wouldn't have been a deserter like Sino Roland.
When Janice heard Xu Sili's words, she could not help but think of the two members of the royal family who died young. She felt sad and looked at Xu Sili with more affection.
His Majesty had really grown up!
He chose to stay because he wanted to be a good Emperor!
"How about this? I will find some domesticated interstellar beasts for His Majesty. These interstellar beasts are generally gentler and not too dangerous. "
And there was a reason that Janice did not say.
Because of the eldest prince and the second princess, the old officials were more sensitive and would not let the little Emperor come into contact with the ferocious interstellar beasts.
"Okay, you go and arrange it."
Xu Sili nodded. He understood the principle of eating one bite at a time.
However, when he followed Janice to the garden in the afternoon and saw the so-called domesticated interstellar beasts, Xu Sili was speechless.
Snow-white hair, red eyes, and long ears. Wasn't this a rabbit? Where was the promised interstellar beast? He could not bear to kill it!
Rabbits were so cute, how could he kill rabbits?
The silver-haired boy looked at the little white rabbit and was speechless for a long time.
Then, he looked at Janice and said, "Is this what the interstellar beasts outside look like?"
"This is a long-eared beast that is known for its jumping speed. The power of its kick is so great that it can break a rock. It is a very ferocious one-star beast."
Janice said seriously.
"Of course, after domestication, they can't form a star core and their attack power is greatly reduced. They are docile and their meat is delicious. They are a good source of food."
Xu Sili nodded.
So these were domesticated beasts and could not be compared to wild beasts.
He thought for a while and said to the guard beside him, "You can catch one."
Li Zheyu nodded respectfully and reached into the cage and caught a long-eared beast.
The long-eared beast was pulled out by two ears and kicked with all its strength. Li Zheyu frowned and used some strength in his hand, and the rabbit went limp.
A small HP bar appeared above the rabbit's head. It did not show the damage, but the HP bar was empty. There was only a little bit of HP left.
Xu Sili was speechless.
The guard was also a little embarrassed. He forced a smile at Xu Sili and said, "Your Majesty … Shall I catch another one for you?"
Xu Sili sighed.
"No need."
He took out his dagger, raised his hand, and slashed down, ending the long-eared rabbit's life with one strike.
[Ding. Assisted in killing [Normal long-eared beast]. Experience + 5]
Killing monsters could give experience!
But 5 was still a little too little …
Xu Sili looked at the long-eared beasts in the cage again. Although he did not have the heart to kill them, they were meant to be eaten anyway. Letting him kill them and help him level up was the most valuable thing he could do.
Under his signal, Li Zheyu caught another long-eared beast.
Although, he did not think much of it.
What was the use of killing these small animals without a Star Core? Even if he wanted to see blood, he should not use such a weak one.
But the one in front of him was the little emperor. He was still in the process of making up for his mistakes, so he did not dare to say anything and just did as he was told.
Xu Sili also felt that it was pointless. Especially since the rabbit had around 500 HP. His most powerful attack only dealt 50 damage. He would need at least 10 stabs to kill the rabbit.
[Ding. Solo-Killed [Normal long-eared beast]. Experience + 28]
[Ding. After some hard work, your understanding of the use of the dagger has improved. Proficiency + 1]
Xu Sili looked at the proficiency introduction.
His dagger proficiency was only level 0. When it reached 100 proficiency, it could level up to level 1. The dagger's damage would increase by 100 physical damage.
If he continued to train, it would be pretty good.
But …
Distance to level up: 67/300
Calculating, he would need to kill 9 rabbits alone, or assist in killing 47 rabbits to level up by 3.
Too slow!
Xu Sili looked at the trembling little rabbit in the cage, and then looked at the bloody rabbit corpse that was stabbed by him. He hesitated for a moment, and finally decided … ….
Forget it.
As an emperor, he also had his burdens!
He did not want to be a rabbit killing maniac!
Didn't he see that other than Janice's loving eyes, the guards were looking at him strangely?
Xu Sili waved his hand and let Li Zheyu throw away the rabbit carcass. Then, he turned around expressionlessly, but his heart was tired. He was going to go back to his bedroom to change his clothes.
The scene just now … was really bloody!
His clothes were unavoidably sprayed with blood.
After freshening up, Xu Sili went to another garden and asked everyone to leave. He sat alone in the pavilion and looked up at the sky. No one knew what he was thinking.
In the distance.
A figure stood under the promenade. His light blonde hair was blown by the breeze. A pair of grayish-blue eyes stared at the young man in the pavilion. His eyes flickered.
"Lord Si Sheng, I heard that you were looking for me?"
Li Zheyu came to the man's side. His attitude was respectful, unlike the others who were in fear and trepidation.
The man retracted his gaze and looked at him. His thin lips moved slightly.
He did not know what he said, but Li Zheyu's expression changed. "Lord, this … I'm afraid it's not good?"
