"A distress signal?"
Xu Sili frowned when he heard Xiao Wu's report. Coming from outer space … other than Adrian, the only other person he had contact with was …
"That Doctor Ting?"
"Yes, Brother." Xiao Wu nodded. "That Blockhead who betrayed the Flanda Interstellar Federation. He has been identified as a traitor and is on the wanted list."
"According to the location he sent, he is in a star sector not far from Eshe Star."
"Hmm? He is already on the wanted list? "
After replying to Adrian, Xu Sili didn't pay much attention to this matter. He didn't know how the Flanda Interstellar Federation dealt with this matter.
He nodded and said, "Xiao Wu, let me see the contents of his distress signal."
"Okay."
Xiao Wu responded and went back into the communication device. Then, a voice message sounded. At the same time, words were projected. The voice was in the universal language, and Xiao Wu considerately translated it into Roland language.
"Your Majesty Roland, I am Blockhead … We have been kidnapped by the Xing Dao … I can't contact my country … Please help me pass the message back … I beg of you …"
The voice was intermittent and spoke very quickly. It could be heard that the sender was very anxious. It was probably a distress signal sent secretly.
Kidnapped by the Xing Dao?
Xu Sili rubbed his chin. Speaking of the Xing Dao, he thought of the leader of the Xing Dao, Mu Xingzhou. In the future timeline, the guy who "coveted" Si Sheng many times.
Ever since he confirmed his relationship with Si Sheng, he inevitably had mixed feelings about the him in the future timeline.
Of course, the two Si Shengs were different. He was very clear about this, but it was inevitable that he felt a little awkward.
The future Si Sheng killing Snow Roland was understandable from his logic. Si Sheng was written into the order to "protect Roland", and Snow Roland should never have cooperated with the people of Beirut …
Xu Sili shook his head. He did not continue to dwell on these matters. Instead, he looked at the distress message displayed on his communication device and pondered.
Kidnapped by Xing Dao …
Was this real or fake? The Franda Interstellar Federation had already identified Dr. Ding Mingyu as a traitor and had even issued a warrant for his arrest.
If it was fake, the professor would probably try to scam him, but … what if it was real?
He could have been kidnapped by the Xing Dao and missed the opportunity to defend himself. In the end, he was unlucky enough to be labeled as a traitor and could not even contact the people of his country to save him.
It was too tragic.
Out of respect for the researchers, Xu Sili still sent the distress message to Adrian and told him the general location of Xiao Wu.
Of course, he did not expose Xiao Wu's existence. He only vaguely said that he received the message from this area.
Adrian quickly replied.
[Good day, Your Majesty of Roland.]
[I have received your message and immediately passed it to the liaison officer of the Franda Interstellar Federation. Thank you for your trust in me.]
It was not that Xu Sili trusted him, but he was the only person he knew on this planet.
He thought about it. Since Dr. Ding Mingyu was his fan and had even given him millions of Universe Credits, he still asked the Franda Interstellar Federation what to do.
Adrian: [It's hard to say. This person's identity is a bit special. The technology he possesses belongs to the secrets of the Franda Interstellar Federation. That's why this betrayal caused such a big reaction.]
Adrian: [If he was really kidnapped by the Xing Dao, I think Franda will help.]
Adrian: [If you are interested, I will inform you as soon as I receive news.]
Xu Sili could not help but nod. This liaison officer was quite smart. The few conversations they had were quite pleasant.
His Majesty of Roland: [Thank you.]
Adrian: [You're welcome. It's just … Your Majesty, your new song?]
Xu Sili laughed. This was the first time he was urged to release a new song in front of him. This was quite a novel experience.
He replied to Adrian. The two did not say anything else. They said goodbye to each other and ended the call.
Star Alliance Liaison Department.
In the office, Ya Heng looked up at his leader and could clearly feel that he was in a good mood.
He could not help but ask, "Leader, did something good happen? Did Roland place another order recently? "
The number of orders a country placed was also related to their performance evaluation. Because of the big order last month, Ya Heng received a lot of bonuses this month. Now his eyes lit up when he heard about Roland.
Adrian glanced at him.
"With Roland's situation, it will definitely take a while to digest such a big order last month. How could they place another order in such a short time?"
"That's not necessarily true …" Ya Heng muttered, "It wasn't that long ago …"
Adrian ignored him.
"Have you passed on the message I asked you to pass to Franda?"
"Yes, but there's no reply yet."
"Follow up on it. Also, pay attention to the results from Franda. Report to me when the time comes."
"Oh, okay."
On the other side, Xu Sili got up and walked to the secret room. He was ready to fulfill his promise to his fans. As for purchasing …
He had been a little restless recently and wanted to buy more things.
With such a big family and so many people, the equipment he bought last time was not enough to share. At that time, he felt that he did not have enough money and wanted to take it easy. Who knew that the milk tea shop would be so popular?
He had now accumulated hundreds of billions of Universe Credits. Why should he keep the money instead of spending it?
But the problem was … how could he explain the source of the money?
When he was running the milk tea shop, he chose to remain anonymous. Plus, Xiao Wu kept a tight watch on him. Currently, no one outside knew who opened the "Fox" milk tea shop.
He was not prepared to let others know. With Roland's current situation, it was better not to have too much of a presence.
His singing was open to the public. There was even a sales chart on the Star Melody Network. The data was open and transparent. How much a song or album earned was completely exposed to the public.
But no matter how well a song sold, it could not compare to a consumable like milk tea. Although his results were good, it was not enough to make a country with a little bit of background jealous, let alone a superpower.
Maybe it was a small country that was ranked last and had to worry about the annual alliance fee of 10 million Universe Credits. But such a small country was nothing to be afraid of.
As soon as Si Sheng entered, he saw Xu Sili standing in front of the secret room. He was frowning as if he had encountered a problem.
"What happened?"
He came to his side and bent slightly to get closer to him.
Xu Sili was deep in thought. When he suddenly heard his voice, he was not frightened and very consciously snuggled into his arms. Like a softie, Si Sheng hugged him with both arms.
"What are you thinking about?"
Si Sheng gently rubbed his hair.
"It's nothing …" Xu Sili told him about his troubles.
"Then find another channel."
Xu Sili also thought about it, but …
"I'm afraid that other channels do not have the fixed-point transmission technology. If they send a spaceship over, I'm worried that the safety channel of Eshe Star will be leaked."
Currently, the sky above Eshe Star was still not safe. Not only were there a large number of flying interstellar beasts, there were also various strange magnetic fields and undetectable dangers. It was Eshe Star's natural barrier.
There was only one safe channel to enter and leave Eshe Star. It was the Elementalists who left back then who used their power and paid a huge price to get the Star Alliance to help open it.
The Bevat Empire did not attack Eshe Star now, but it was not completely abiding by the principle of non-aggression between allied countries.
If the two countries really insisted on fighting, the Star Alliance could not do more than mediate, unless a superpower intervened.
What made the Lizardmen fearful was Eshe Star's natural barrier.
Originally, the Lizardmen planned to force Snow Roland to voluntarily hand over the authority or wait for the Roland Empire to withdraw from the Star Alliance because they could not pay the alliance fee. Then, they could buy the information of Eshe Star's safe channel from the Star Alliance and achieve their wishful thinking of quickly invading.
However, all of their plans fell through in the end. Now, no one knew what they were planning behind the scenes.
It could be said that this barrier prevented the people of Eshe Star from going into space, and at the same time, it also prevented the invaders from going in.
Anyway, Xu Sili would not casually give out the information of the safe channel.
As for why he agreed to let Blockhead in … Wasn't it because he wanted to keep him here? How could a talent who could build spaceships and design weapons leave after coming here?
Moreover, it was clearly stated that only he and his sister could enter.
Although they went missing later on, the specific information of the safe channel was not given out yet. It had to wait until they arrived at the designated location, so Xu Sili was not worried.
Now, it was even more impossible for him to casually leak the information to an unknown supplier.
Si Sheng thought for a while and said, "If you're really worried, we can go out and buy it ourselves."
"Go out by ourselves?"
"Yes, didn't we just buy two spaceships?"
Roland did have spaceships before. Although they were broken, they could still fly out into space. However, they were destroyed in the Beast Tide three years ago.
Now, the two large civilian spaceships that Xu Sili just bought had arrived along with the second batch of goods.
With Xiao Wu around, there was no need to worry about piloting the spaceships.
Xu Sili had indeed wanted to fly a spaceship for a long time, but when he thought about Roland's situation, he felt that it was better to settle down for the time being. As for the matter of venturing into space, he naturally postponed it.
Now that he thought about it, what Si Sheng said seemed to make sense.
If they went out to buy, they did not have to worry about the source of their funds being leaked, and they did not have to go through the Star Alliance for everything.
Although the Star Alliance gave Roland a lot of help and the purchase price was much more affordable, they still had to be cautious. They could not expose all their cards in front of the other party.
"Yes, you're right."
Xu Sili said, "The money from selling the album is on the surface. We can use it to trade with the Star Alliance, but the Fox Family's income is hidden in the dark."
However, when he thought about the plan to build the teleportation array in a week, Xu Sili suppressed his restless desire to go out into space.
"Let's plan it carefully. We don't have to worry about it in the short term." He restrained himself and said.
Si Sheng naturally did not have any objections. Then he was dragged into the secret room by Xu Sili.
"Let's go, accompany me to record a new song."
After they talked about it, Si Sheng's gaming cabin was also moved here and placed side by side. Because they were of the same model, the design was exactly the same. However, Xu Sili's cabin was slightly older.
The two lay down in the gaming cabin and went to Xu Sili's virtual room together.
Xu Sili was not a person who would let himself be wronged.
After he was rich, he expanded the virtual room, which was originally only 50 square meters, into a two-story villa. There was also a virtual scenery outside, so it did not feel depressing.
The music room was on the second floor.
After entering the room, Si Sheng quietly stayed on the side and gently watched Xu Sili play each instrument.
Every time this happened, the fatigue on the young man's face would be swept away. When he was facing music, he was especially focused and serious, exuding a charm that made him unable to look away.
Xu Sili was already familiar with arranging and recording songs in the virtual space. With his current mental strength, he would not be overdrawn like the first time.
When the final product was completed, he immediately shared it with Si Sheng.
However, when Si Sheng listened to the song, his expression gradually became a little strange. Xu Sili, who was paying attention to his reaction, suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"Is there a problem?"
Impossible. When he just finished singing, the system added proficiency, indicating that his completion rate was very good.
Si Sheng saw his nervous expression and knew that he had misunderstood. He could not help but smile.
"Nothing, I just …"
He paused. "This is a toast song, right?"
Xu Sili nodded.
"I just remembered that night when we listened to this song together … Something happened."
After listening to Si Sheng and understanding what he meant, Xu Sili's eyes widened and his ears instantly turned red.
Of course, he remembered what happened that night.
That night, he drank and was not convinced by Si Sheng's strong willpower, so he insisted on proving himself before the level restriction was lifted. Then, when he was soaking in the hot spring, in front of Si Sheng …
"Why are you thinking about that?"
Xu Sili glared at him angrily.
Si Sheng immediately put on an innocent expression. In the Star Web, he still looked like an 18 or 19-year-old. When he pretended to be innocent and pitiful, it was very offensive.
Xu Sili's anger immediately dissipated, leaving only a little embarrassment.
At this time, Si Sheng said, "I accidentally thought of it."
Xu Sili snorted and ignored him. He went to the Star Web to work on his new single.
Si Sheng smiled and did not want to be annoyed. He opened the interface of Xu Sili's virtual space and browsed through it, thinking about what else he could add to this house.
He had already become one of the owners. Xu Sili gave him all the authority, and even Xiao Wu had to listen to him.
Although Xiao Wu was very afraid of him.
Xu Sili uploaded the new single and released it as a standalone album.
Compared to his original ballad, which only cost a cent a month, this was very different.
He had already been promoted to the title of a singer. Although the singing fee for non-original songs was still lower than original songs, the price had increased to two Universe Credits.
Xu Sili did not think that this price was low. Two dollars for a song, and one could only listen to it for a month. In reality, this was not very possible. Most music apps had members who could listen to the entire site.
However, even at this price, the sales of "Germinal" and "Roland's Goodnight Song" did not decrease.
This was the effect of the special effect contained in the song.
Xu Sili did not know what kind of effect the recorded version of "Toast" would have. He was looking forward to the specific effect. He could pay attention to it in the future.
As soon as the new song was released, it immediately caused a big sensation.
In the past six months, many people had witnessed the rise of "His Majesty Roland". With just one album and one single, he became popular all over the Internet. After six months, his popularity still did not decrease. He was like a rising star of tomorrow.
When Xu Sili first released the song, he was a new singer who became popular with just one song. Now, many people had forgotten his name.
His popular song also became popular, and the song's sales plummeted. Although the newly released album became popular because of the traffic, it soon died down.
This was the fate of most new singers. Many of them may need to go through the baptism of time before they can create trendsetting songs again.
In contrast, His Majesty Roland's longevity was very eye-catching.
In particular, the two special songs attracted the attention of many scientific research institutions. Music could affect humans so significantly, which made many scientists interested.
Of course, they had not yet found out why.
Countless people were waiting for His Majesty Roland to release a second song, but this music master did not seem to be in a hurry at all. He did not use the previous song's popularity to release a new song hastily.
This gained the approval of many fans. Of course, a good song had to be polished slowly. This was what a music master should be like.
Now, after six months, they finally saw the music master release a new song again. The fans arrived at the scene in almost a second.
[Let's see what I found!]
[It's another ballad! Awesome, I love Roland's ballads!]
[After listening to the song, I'm so excited now! I want to drink, I want to sing along.]
[Ahhhhh, I was so sad today, but after listening to this song, I suddenly feel that there is no obstacle in life that cannot be overcome. Drinking and eating meat is the most important thing.]
[Enjoy life to the fullest. Don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon!]
A toast song that made people's blood boil!
On a distant planet, a young man opened StarQuest Network and saw the words "His Majesty Roland's latest single" floating on the homepage. Before he clicked on it, he shouted,
"Grandpa, grandpa, His Majesty Roland released a new single!"
While he was shouting, a figure ran out of the room and responded excitedly, "A new single? Quick! Play it for me! "
When he saw his grandfather's appearance, Hodge still felt a little uncomfortable.
The old man was 190 years old this year. He was old and clumsy, and looked like he could die of old age at any time.
Although the old man's age was not considered old in the interstellar where the average life expectancy was as high as 300 years, there were always races below the average.
Hodge's family was one of them.
According to the records, their lifespan was about two hundred years.
But two or three months ago, a particularly magical thing happened.
The Old Master had regained his youth overnight!
Well, it was not as exaggerated as rejuvenation, but his hair was obviously darker, his skin became smoother, and even the teeth that had fallen out grew back. He suddenly looked hundreds of years younger.
The whole family was shocked, and felt that they had encountered a supernatural event.
For the past two or three months, they had been hiding the old man at home, not daring to let others see him, for fear that he would be caught and dissected for research.
After the old man was stunned by his own changes, he had a lot on his mind every day. He locked himself in the room and rarely went outside.
Today, for the sake of listening to the song, he rushed out in such a hurry. It could be said that he really liked His Majesty Roland.
Hodge withdrew his uncomfortable gaze and clicked on the song. He looked at the introduction and was about to say the name of the song when he heard the old man choking, "A toast song … this is a toast song …"
As she spoke, tears began to fall from her eyes, scaring Huo Qi to the core.
He remembered that his grandfather had said that he came from the Roland Empire. Later, a huge disaster seemed to have happened on the planet where the Roland Empire was located.
Ever since then, his grandfather had never returned ….
"Grandpa, you … you … that …"
This was the first time Hodge encountered such a situation. He was simply at a loss. The old man was immersed in his own emotions and did not pay attention to him.
At this time, his parents came back and panicked when they saw this scene. They thought that he had done something terrible, so they pulled his ear and scolded him.
The living room was in chaos, but the old man did not care. He turned and walked back to his room. His back, which was originally straight because of his youth, looked a little hunched again.
He locked himself in the room and ordered a song on the music device according to what Sun Tzu had taught him. The melody of the toast song sounded again.
His eyes, which were no longer crying, were filled with tears again.
It had been a long time since he listened to the folk songs of his homeland …
Back then, although his aptitude was average, he reached the four-star level at the age of 80 and was qualified to travel in outer space.
He excitedly followed the elder and left the mother planet. He was fascinated by the colorful world outside and had the idea of settling down in outer space.
Who knew that a few years later, bad news came — a catastrophe happened on Esnow Star. Almost all the countries were destroyed, and only the Roland Empire was left.
What was even more unbelievable was that —
The Elementalists who left Esnow Star all dropped to two-star level. Due to the great reduction in their lifespan, many died directly, including the elder who led him out.
With their strength dropped, the Elementalists had no way to return to Esnow Star because it was too dangerous.
They could only wander in outer space while running around the various countries. They worked for the Star Alliance and contributed a little to their mother planet with their meager strength.
Although the Star Alliance opened up a safe passage, they did not go back. It was not that they did not want to, but they did not dare to go back and cause trouble for them.
They were indeed two-star Elementalists, but after a hundred years, they were so old that they had lost their combat power.
What he did not expect was that just three months ago, he felt the shackles on his body loosen. The layer that originally limited his level suddenly disappeared.
He directly recovered to the peak of three-star level and his lifespan was also restored.
Since that day, he wondered day and night if Roland's situation had improved. Could he go back and take a look?
And this Roland Emperor who sang the folk songs of his homeland, was he really … their Emperor?
At this moment, the sound of the communication device rang, waking Old Master Huo up. He picked up the phone and heard the person on the other end say in a trembling voice,
"Old Huo, why don't we … go back and take a look …"
Xu Sili did not know how many people were affected after his new song was released. After he finished, he closed the Startune Network and looked at Si Sheng.
Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly froze when he saw what was displayed on Si Sheng's virtual screen.
Wasn't this the f * cking thing in that "trash" folder? How did Si Sheng find it?!
