Xu Sili did not expect that Si Sheng would actually go outside to fight with people, and also advertise his milk tea shop.
Genius Competition …
The name sounded too chuunibyou, but the prize money seemed to be a lot. Otherwise, where would Si Sheng get so much money to support his milk tea shop?
He rubbed his chin and continued with his plan.
First, he would remove "Guardian of Roland" from the blacklist and send him a message.
Then, he would order a cup of milk tea and wait patiently.
At the same time, Si Sheng had just returned to his castle in the suburbs. Ever since he started living in the palace, he rarely came here. The only time he came back was because he had to go on the Star Web.
Today, he returned to the castle to deal with some matters. Just as he was about to leave, he received a message.
His Majesty of Roland: [Are you there?]
Si Sheng was stunned. His communication device was connected to the Star Web, so he could receive messages from the Star Web without using the game capsule. But …
Didn't Ali blacklist him? Now …?
He pursed his lips and felt a little guilty.
Had Ali finally guessed that it was him?
At this time, another message popped up.
His Majesty of Roland: [I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Are you free now? I would like to apologize to you in person.]
Si Sheng looked at the message and frowned slightly.
So … he hadn't figured it out yet? He thought for a while and replied.
Guardian of Roland: [Okay.]
His Majesty of Roland: [Then let's meet at the food street in Region E, I'll wait for you here.]
Si Sheng looked at the reply and rubbed his eyebrows. He turned around and went back to his room.
Regardless of whether he guessed it or not, he still had to deal with this alias …
He hoped that Ali wouldn't be angry.
Region E.
The food street was bustling with people. A blonde teenager wearing a white fox mask appeared in the most crowded area.
As soon as he appeared, he attracted the attention of many people.
"Is that the Guardian?"
"Ah, it looks like him! The mysterious teenager from the Genius Competition! "
"Didn't a lot of people speculate that he's not as young as he looks?"
"In any case, he's definitely not more than 40 years old."
In the Star Alliance's territory, the average lifespan of a human was more than three hundred years. They would only become adults at the age of thirty-five, and they would only be fledglings at forty.
And one of the requirements for the Genius Tournament was to be under the age of 40.
"Am I the only one who's curious about why he came to District E?"
"That's right. What's a super genius with an SSS mental strength doing in District E?"
"Haven't you seen that video? He once tore apart a mech here with his bare hands and then forcibly gave out milk tea. At that time, I was watching from the side and even received a cup. "
"Is it Fox's Milk Tea? He really likes to drink Fox's milk tea. He drinks it every time he competes. "
The gazes and whispers of the surrounding people made Si Sheng frown. Just as he was about to release his pressure, he glanced around and paused when he saw a certain figure.
Xu Sili had seen him a long time ago, but he wasn't in a hurry to go over. Instead, he searched for the video they were talking about when he overheard the discussions around him.
At that time, this video had gone viral and was easily found on the Star Web. Moreover, Xiao Wu was one of the people involved.
Looking at the video, the youth wearing a white fox mask cleanly tore apart a mech that was more than ten times his size, Xu Sili couldn't help but sigh at how cruel he was.
He then looked at the video where he forcibly kept the spectators and gave each person a cup of milk tea. He couldn't help but laugh.
So, this was how he gave out milk tea in the past?
Also …
Looking at the destroyed mech, Xu Sili rewound the video back to the beginning. He had a vague impression of this big guy rampaging through the bustling city.
Wasn't this the mech that had stepped on his foot when he first entered the Star Web community? Si Sheng … was he helping him take revenge?
Xu Sili felt a little strange. He glanced sideways and saw the white fox youth walking to his side. The white fox youth's grayish-blue eyes were quietly looking at him.
Everyone's eyes fell on them.
Apart from a pair of beautiful eyes, the silver-haired man wearing a red fox mask couldn't be seen clearly. He was tall and the youth's height only reached his chin.
The scene of the two standing together was simply beautiful.
"Brother, many people have turned on their cameras and are filming you. Do you want to stop them?"
Xiao Wu's voice rang in Xu Sili's ears.
Xu Sili naturally noticed the gazes of the people around him. He thought for a while and reached out to grab the youth's wrist. In the next second, the two figures disappeared from their original position.
When they reappeared, they were already in Xu Sili's virtual room — — Virtual rooms could naturally invite friends into them.
Si Sheng sized up the room that was less than 50 square meters. His heart was slightly moved. Just as he was about to speak, the Red Fox youth let go of his wrist and smiled. "Sorry, I didn't expect you to be so famous now."
Suddenly, he was a little uncertain …
So, did he guess it or not?
Xu Sili walked to the bar counter and said politely, "Sit anywhere you like. This is the first time we have guests here. The decorations are a little simple … Do you want to drink anything?"
He opened the cabinet. Regardless of his tone or attitude, it was as if he was entertaining a friend.
Si Sheng's thin lips slightly pursed.
Ali must have guessed it, right? Otherwise, why would he bring him to the virtual room? But what if … he didn't guess it?
This was the first time someone was here as a guest …
He sized up the room. Yes, even "Si Sheng" hadn't been here before. He thought sourly.
"Do you want to drink milk tea?"
At this moment, he heard the youth say, "I know that you like the fox family's milk tea very much."
Si Sheng wasn't very interested. He just nodded.
Then, he saw the youth take out various utensils and raw materials from the cabinet. After washing them, he actually started to cook by himself.
He opened his eyes slightly and was a little flattered.
This was the first time Ali had cooked for him … However, on second thought, he might not have guessed that Ali was cooking for "someone else".
He felt a little uncomfortable.
So, did Ali guess it or not? He was a little worried.
Si Sheng knew that it was ridiculous to be jealous of himself, but he couldn't help it. The person in front of him was too important to him … He couldn't control himself.
"It's done."
While he was thinking about it, the youth had already prepared the milk tea and gently placed it in front of him.
It was a very beautiful color. There were small bubbles in the light purple solution, and crystal clear pulp floated in it. The top was covered with a sweet layer of snow-white milk, exuding a faint cream fragrance.
Succulent grapes, one of the most popular varieties of the fox family's milk tea.
"You can drink now," the youth said with a smile.
Si Sheng looked at him and finally walked to the bar counter. At this moment, the youth raised his hand to hold the mask, took off the lower half of it, and then …
He raised his right hand and licked off the cream on his fingertips.
Si Sheng suddenly stopped moving and stared at him with a slightly sharp gaze.
The youth sucked on his fingers. His rosy lips and snow-white fingers were full of temptation, but his eyes were still looking at him innocently, as if he didn't understand what he was doing at this moment.
Si Sheng took a deep breath, raised his hand to grab the youth's wrist and pulled him to the side.
Xu Sili was deliberately teasing him. Although he was prepared, he was still caught off guard and leaned on the bar counter.
Seeing that the youth was about to kiss him, he hurriedly reached out and pressed the youth's lips with his finger that was still stained with sparkling liquid.
Si Sheng stopped and saw the youth wearing half of the red fox mask smile slightly and say, "You're still underage."
"…"
Si Sheng was speechless.
Xu Sili wanted to retract his finger, but his wrist was held tightly by the youth. Then, the youth opened his mouth slightly and bit his finger gently with his teeth as if to vent his anger.
He didn't use much strength, so it didn't hurt, but it was a little itchy. Xu Sili couldn't help but sigh. The tactile system of the Star Web was too good.
"Okay, how long are you going to bite?" Xu Sili finally said with a slightly red face.
The youth looked too young. Even with the mask, it was obvious that he was definitely not more than 15 years old.
With Si Sheng's personality, he couldn't understand why he used this image on the Star Web, so it was no wonder that he didn't believe him before.
Si Sheng finally released him and said gloomily, "You already guessed it was me, right?"
"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand? "
Xu Sili continued to play dumb and took out a handkerchief from under the bar counter to wipe his fingertips.
Hmph, the little brat had bitten his fingertips until they were red.
"Ali!"
Si Sheng sullenly took off the white fox mask and saw the youth blink and say in confusion, "How did you know …"
This was the first time he realized that his acting skills were so good.
Si Sheng looked at him and finally walked behind the bar counter. He hugged the young man's waist from behind and hugged him tightly. Then, he said in a muffled voice,
"Ali, I know I was wrong. Don't be like this …"
Xu Sili stopped playing and raised his eyebrows slightly. "What was wrong?"
"I shouldn't have kept it from you from the beginning and not been honest with you." Si Sheng's attitude was very sincere, and it sounded as if he was really reflecting on his actions.
Xu Sili wasn't really angry at him. Even if he was, all his anger dissipated when he saw that the youth had helped him get revenge and secretly participated in the competition to earn money.
"Why did you set the age so low?" he asked.
If the youth didn't want him to recognize him, he could have completely changed his appearance. The Star Web's face changing system could do that.
Why did the youth keep most of his original features? He really didn't want him to recognize him, but he also wanted him to recognize him at the same time.
Si Sheng buried his face in the back of his shoulder and said in a pitiful voice, "I just … wanted to make you like me …"
Whether it was Joan Roland, Su Lin, or those students, he always had an inexplicable tolerance for children of this age. At that time, he had chosen this appearance on a whim.
He didn't want to confess to him, he just wanted to change his identity and stay by his side … However, when he questioned him, he had unexpectedly revealed his feelings.
Then, he had scared him away.
Xu Sili was a bit speechless. Make him like him? He wasn't a shota fetish … Fine, he was a bit of a shota fetish.
He was quite soft-hearted towards such a cute child. After all, he was the flower of the Empire's future, but he wasn't a pervert! How could he be moved by such a young child?
"Fine, let me go first."
Xu Sili said.
Si Sheng clenched his fists and finally released him. He watched as the youth turned around. He was wearing a red fox mask, so only the lower half of his face could be seen, but it was enough to make him a bit infatuated.
"Ali …"
Xu Sili curled his lips slightly. "Do you want me to forgive you?"
Si Sheng nodded. His youthful appearance was full of childishness, and his sharp edges had faded away. He looked at Xu Sili somewhat anxiously, like a little wolf cub.
Xu Sili couldn't help but reach out and rub the top of his head.
With the difference in height between the two of them, this action could be easily done.
"Call me big brother." Xu Sili said with a mischievous smile.
The youth paused slightly, his brows furrowed tightly. It was obvious that he was unwilling. "Ali …"
"Not willing?" Xu Sili raised his eyebrows.
Before he could say what punishment, the youth had already turned his face away and tactfully called out, "Big brother …"
Glancing at his red ears, Xu Sili nodded slightly. He reached out and pinched his chin, bending slightly to look him in the eyes. "Good boy."
Si Sheng stared at his careless smile, his heart throbbing slightly. "Then … you forgive me?"
Xu Sili tilted his head.
He still wanted to play a little longer …
The youth let go of his hand. Perhaps it was the effect of the red fox mask, but his expression was always somewhat playful and sly.
"You should change your appearance."
Xu Sili sized up Si Sheng. Although looking at him reminded him of the time in the trial world, he didn't want to think about the past right now.
Si Sheng looked at him, pursed his lips, and said, "What do you want to see me look like?"
Xu Sili curled his index finger slightly and scratched his chin.
"I want to see you when you were 18 or 19 years old."
Si Sheng's scalp was about to explode from his teasing, but in the end, he just restrained himself and nodded. "Okay."
Under Xu Sili's gaze, Si Sheng disappeared. To adjust his appearance, he had to return to his own virtual room.
Seeing his figure disappear, Xu Sili's originally careless expression disappeared. He walked to the sofa and casually laid down, a carefree smile already on his face.
He had gotten back his share of being "teased" last night with interest!
He proudly shook his legs, but when he saw the little robot appear on the coffee table, he couldn't help but pause.
Well, it's not suitable for this little guy to be present for what I'm going to do next …
"Xiao Wu, Big Brother has a mission for you."
"What mission?"
Under Xu Sili's command, the little robot obediently left the game cabin and followed up with the players' rescue of the disaster victims.
There were more than two hundred places, and it was still a bit strenuous for Little Five, so he needed to put in all his energy. Of course, he also vaguely understood that this was his big brother sending him away so that he could do something embarrassing with that bad guy.
It was an artificial intelligence with moral integrity, so it wouldn't look if it wasn't allowed to. There were so many resources on the Star Network, and it wasn't like it hadn't seen them before.
After sending Xiao Wu away, Xu Sili waited leisurely. At this time, he suddenly received a voice request from Adrian.
He was the liaison officer of the Star Alliance, so he attached great importance to this relationship.
He sat up and answered Adrian's voice message.
"Good day, Your Majesty Roland." Adrian's gentle voice sounded.
Xu Sili also greeted him, and then he heard him say, "Your Majesty, I have received your purchase order and have carefully checked it. The quantity is indeed a bit large."
"Is the inventory not enough?" Xu Sili asked.
"It's not that it's not enough, but as you know, the Alliance still needs to dispatch supplies to more than 200 countries … Your Majesty's order may be provided to you in two batches."
"The first batch will be delivered in three days, and the second batch will take about half a month."
"Okay, that's not a problem."
Xu Sili nodded, and then he heard Adrian say, "As for the spaceships you want, I can help you contact ordinary ones."
"In terms of price, a large one is about five billion Universe Credits, and a small one is about one billion."
Xu Sili was speechless when he heard this. A small boat cost one billion. No ordinary person would be able to afford it.
According to his original savings, he could only buy about two small ones, but with the profits from the milk tea shop, he could buy ten large ones with more than enough.
He thought for a moment and asked, "What about military ones?"
Adrian was obviously hesitant. He didn't suspect Roland's purpose, after all, which country didn't want to increase their military strength, especially a country like Roland that was in a precarious situation.
"Your Majesty Roland, the annual production of military spaceships is not high, although the production countries have released some to the Alliance, but …"
Xu Sili understood what he was implying and continued, "Roland still doesn't have the right to buy, right?"
There were 266 countries in the Star Alliance, and the Roland Empire's overall strength was ranked 265th, second to last, and had to accept the Alliance's poverty alleviation policy in the past.
It was not hard to imagine what its status was in the Alliance.
Adrian didn't say anything, which was a tacit admission.
"Then how can we get the right?" Xu Sili asked.
"Generally speaking, only the top 50 countries in overall strength can participate in the bidding," Adrian explained.
"The base price of the bidding will be much lower than the market price, of course, the final bidding result will be determined by the competing countries."
After all, the production was limited, and some countries might not be able to buy it even if they had the money. Even if the Alliance's bidding price was higher than the market price, they would still be willing to pay.
Xu Sili felt that the price was probably not very good, and sure enough, he heard Adrian say, "The lowest price one sold in recent years was 21.5 billion Universe Credits."
It was indeed … not a very good price.
But he had the money now.
Xu Sili pulled up the background income of the milk tea shop and glanced at the still increasing amount, and felt a little relieved.
But to be ranked in the top 50 in overall strength …
Xu Sili sighed and said without much hope, "Is there any other way besides the bidding?"
Unexpectedly, Adrian said, "There is."
Xu Sili was interested. "What do you mean?"
"The Genius Tournament."
"What?"
"Your Majesty, you might not know." Adrian said, "Although the Genius Tournament is a competition held by the four S-class and above regions, and it is quite popular in the interstellar, but …"
"In fact, the competition ranking also involves the distribution of the Alliance's resources."
Xu Sili frowned. He suppressed the subtle shock in his heart and asked, "I remember that only the top ten countries in overall strength can enter these regions, right?"
"In principle, that is true."
Adrian said, "However, if a genius of the same level appears in a normal country, they can also enter by joining the Liberal League."
"The Genius Tournament's format is that the top ten countries and the Liberal League will send out eleven teams to compete, and according to the ranking, they will receive the corresponding resources."
Xu Sili understood what he meant. The Liberal League was made up of many weak countries, and the resources it received were divided among the countries in the group.
Although the resources allocated were definitely less than the top ten countries alone, if they did not participate, they would not even be able to drink the soup.
"But this year's Genius Tournament has been going on for a few months. If you want to participate, you will have to wait for the next one."
"When is the next one?"
"In five years."
Xu Sili sighed. "Okay, I understand."
"Adrian, can I trouble you to send me the different models of civilian spaceships? I want to choose. "
"Sure, I will send it to your email."
"Okay, thank you."
"You are too polite, Your Majesty. I look forward to your new work."
Xu Sili paused. Oh, I almost forgot. This Administrator Adrian seems to be one of my fans.
"Okay, I will send it in a few days."
"I look forward to it."
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Xu Sili hung up the call.
He did not forget the threat of the Bevat Empire.
Although he was temporarily protected by the Star Alliance and limited by the geographical environment of Eshe, the lizardmen only dared to do things behind his back. But when he thought of this neighbor that was eyeing him covetously, Xu Sili had to prepare in advance.
He definitely had to buy a military spaceship, but …
"What are you thinking about?"
Xu Sili frowned as he pondered. When he heard this, he could not help but look up. He saw a figure appear beside him without him knowing.
He blinked and carefully looked at Si Sheng.
He was in his early twenties, between a teenager and a young man. His body was not as thin as it was when he was a teenager, but he was not as strong either. His strong muscles clung to his body. Although he looked thin, he was full of strength and beauty.
At this time, he was about the same height as him. His handsome features had matured a lot, but there was still a hint of childishness. He was much younger than he was in real life.
Xu Sili looked at his new appearance and could not help but lick his lips. He hooked his long legs.
Si Sheng took the opportunity to fall. His hands were on the sofa beside his face. His neck was hooked, and the two of them were almost overlapping.
"You are back?" Xu Sili curled his lips.
Si Sheng looked at him. He raised his hand and took off his fox mask, revealing the face that made him infatuated.
Xu Sili did not resist. He ran his fingers through his light blonde hair and said, "Tell me, what is going on with the Prodigy Tournament?"
Seeing that he did not look angry, Si Sheng held his hand and kissed it.
"The Liberal League invited me to participate in the tournament. The appearance fee was twenty billion cosmic dollars. I thought it was okay, so I agreed."
He said it as if it was as simple as drinking a bowl of water.
"Twenty billion?"
"Yes. I bought half of it to increase the sales of the Fox's milk tea. It seems to be on the recommendation list."
Si Sheng told him the truth. "I still have the other half. Do you want it? I will transfer it to you now. "
Twenty billion sounded like two hundred dollars to him. Hearing this, Xu Sili could not help but laugh. At the same time, he felt sweetness in his heart.
However, he did not expect that Si Sheng had bought the milk tea to increase the popularity of the Prodigy Tournament. He thought that the reason the milk tea sold so well was not only because of the free advertising he gave, but also because of the recommendation list.
"No need. You can keep the money." Xu Sili could not help but kiss him on the lips. "I will ask you for more when it is not enough."
Si Sheng smiled and his eyes turned into crescents. "Okay."
Then, he talked about something else. "I joined the Liberal League anonymously. I did not expose the Roland Empire, but …"
"If I remain anonymous, the resources that Roland would have been allocated after the tournament is over may be canceled."
Xu Sili frowned. If a genius like Si Sheng was exposed in front of others, it would go against his original intention of developing his strength in a wretched manner.
But … it would be a pity to give up these resources!
"When will the tournament end?" he asked.
Si Sheng thought for a moment. "About seven or eight months."
There is still so much time … Xu Sili nodded. "Then let's wait until the tournament is almost over."
Si Sheng naturally had no objections.
"I saw your battle video." Xu Sili suddenly smiled. "It was very cute."
Si Sheng was speechless.
Maybe he had made a mistake from beginning to end by choosing to look like a teenager.
Seeing how depressed he was, Xu Sili smiled even more happily.
"But the way you helped me take revenge …" He kissed the tip of Si Sheng's nose. "You were also very handsome."
Si Sheng was mesmerized by his smile. "Ali …"
Xu Sili pressed his finger against Si Sheng's lips and said seriously, "Now you have to call me brother."
Si Sheng stared at him helplessly and finally called out, "Brother."
Looking at Si Sheng's youthful handsome face and his reluctance to call him brother, Xu Sili really wanted to record a video and save it. Of course, he only took a few photos in the end.
As for what happened after that, because of this prank, Si Sheng was forced to shout until his voice was hoarse. It was not easy to talk about it in detail.
In short, he was having a lot of fun.
