"Beep — —"
A faint beep sounded, and the holographic screen in front of him disappeared. It had been forcibly shut down.
Si Sheng turned his head and met the young man's slightly angry gaze. The blush on his cheeks, which had disappeared, spread again, like the petals of a rose falling on the snow, gorgeous and charming.
"Are you done?"
Before the young man could fly into a rage, Si Sheng took the initiative. He smiled and reached out to tuck the young man's hair behind his ear.
Xu Sili paused and pursed his lips. "I'm done …"
He looked at Si Sheng from head to toe and couldn't help but explain, "The things in the folder didn't belong to me. They belonged to the late Emperor."
Although morally speaking, he should protect the old Emperor's image, between the image of others and his own, he did not hesitate to sell the old Emperor out.
Si Sheng didn't comment and only nodded in the end.
Xu Sili looked at him. The more he looked, the more sullen and regretful he felt. He shouldn't have deleted these things in the first place.
What's the point of keeping this trash!
Xu Sili turned on the holographic screen and opened the folder. Just as he was about to delete it, Si Sheng grabbed his hand.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Deleting it, of course," Xu Sili said confidently.
"Didn't you say … that this belonged to the late Emperor?" Si Sheng looked at him.
Xu Sili opened his mouth and thought of something. He narrowed his eyes and looked at him. "What do you mean?"
Si Sheng had a youthful and handsome face. He curved his lips slightly and whispered, "Why don't we keep it? After all, this is the late Emperor's legacy. "
Xu Sili looked at him coldly.
Under his stare, Si Sheng leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I just saw … that there's a two-person mode."
Xu Sili's expression froze. What did he mean?
Of course, it wasn't that he didn't understand Si Sheng's hint, but the problem was … this holographic little butter …
Si Sheng leaned on his shoulder and breathed gently on his neck. His voice was low and sexy. "Don't you want to … try it?"
Xu Sili couldn't help but gulp.
What if I'm a little tempted?
With great willpower, he restrained himself and said, "Don't mess around. You still have a match tonight."
The Star Alliance's Genius Competition lasted for a year, and there were many matches.
According to the competition format, the 11 interstellar forces would send out 220 geniuses to participate in the competition. In the end, they would receive different resources according to their team ranking.
The more top ranked contestants there were, the more points they would receive. The first ranked contestant would receive a special reward from his or her team.
Si Sheng had a match tonight.
But Xu Sili saw that he didn't care about it at all, and even wanted to play a small game with him before the game. He couldn't help but sigh. This was probably the confidence of the strong.
Sure enough, Si Sheng shrugged when he heard about the competition. He leaned against the wall, looking dispirited. However, he quickly came over again and hugged him with both arms.
"Is there a reward if I win?"
He rubbed against Xu Sili's cheeks and pitifully hated rewards.
Xu Sili couldn't help but fall silent. In fact, he was a little worried about Si Sheng at first, but after watching his past battle videos, all of them were one-hit kills, he was completely relieved.
Si Sheng was the strongest in both the Ai Xue Planet and the Galaxy.
It was normal for him to win, but it would be strange if he didn't win.
How could he have the nerve to ask if there was a reward for winning such a simple thing?
"Ali?" Si Sheng pressed against his cheek and urged.
Xu Sili thought about it. After all, this guy was participating in the competition for his sake. It wasn't good to be too heartless, but he had to raise the difficulty.
He said, "If I win the championship, I'll play … that game with you."
Si Sheng looked up and glanced at the folder on the screen. He tilted his head and said, "Play every game?"
Xu Sili: "…"
Si Sheng continued, "You can't go back on your words."
Of course, he wouldn't go back on his words, but that wasn't what he meant. Play every game? So many games!
Xu Sili felt that it was a little too exciting. He opened his mouth and wanted to reject, but in the end, he was defeated by Si Sheng's pitiful and expectant gaze.
"Let's talk about it after you win." He curled his lips and added, "It depends on your performance."
Si Sheng curved his lips and the smile in his eyes deepened.
He kissed the sensitive and soft ear of the youth and said in a gentle voice, "Okay, as you wish."
The Genius Competition was held late at night on Ai Xue Planet.
The time was different in every galaxy, so there was no uniform rule, so the contestants had to adjust themselves.
When the alarm clock rang, Xu Sili frowned. The man stretched out his arm and turned off the alarm clock.
Si Sheng sat up but didn't wake him up. Instead, he carried him into a dark room and coaxed the grumpy youth into lying in the gaming pod.
Soon, the gaming pod started up. Xu Sili lazily opened his eyes in the virtual room. His eyelids were half-closed. Although he was awake, he still felt a little sleepy.
Although the body in the gaming pod had entered a dormant state, its consciousness was still active, so it consumed the user's spiritual power.
Xu Sili patted his face and forced himself to be more awake. When Si Sheng came to his virtual room, he entered the Star Web community with him.
Si Sheng went to the SP region, while he went to the D region to watch the competition.
In order to prevent accidents, spectators weren't allowed to watch the battle between the strong. However, the organizers would project the battle scenes to the other regions to make the spectators feel as if they were there.
Xu Sili booked a ticket for the D region and sat in the middle of the fifth row. He was neither too far in front nor too far in the back.
There was also a commentator at the scene. With a few words, the atmosphere was livened up and the spectators were filled with anticipation for the upcoming competition.
"Go, Guardian! Mommy loves you! "
Sitting to the right of Xu Sili was a girl wearing a peaked cap.
On the cap, there was a cute little person wearing half a white fox mask. She was holding a sign of Si Sheng's avatar in her hand and was screaming excitedly.
Xu Sili raised his eyebrows. Si Sheng had a mom fan? This made him feel a little strange.
At this moment, the girl in the peaked cap noticed him. When she saw his red fox mask, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you also like Fox's milk tea?"
Her eyes were filled with joy as if she saw a passerby buy a product endorsed by her idol.
Xu Sili smiled and said, "I like it, but Fox doesn't only sell milk tea."
The girl in the peaked cap was stunned.
Other than milk tea, what else could it be? Why didn't she know?
Just as she was about to open it, she heard the red fox mask say, "The competition has started."
"Oh, oh, thank you!"
The girl didn't dare to be distracted again, and Xu Sili also focused on the field. At some point, the contestants had already taken their positions.
In order to avoid trouble, Si Sheng's avatar had been changed back to its previous youth appearance. He was still wearing the white fox mask, but the system's initial uniform had been changed.
The military style of the pure black system was clean and simple. The metal buttons were full of texture, and they shone under the sun.
The youth wearing the white fox mask had white gloves on his hands, long boots on his feet, and a long black cape with golden embroidery on his shoulders. It fluttered in the air.
He was cool and full of youthfulness. Xu Sili hadn't chosen him for so long in vain.
The girl in the peaked cap beside him screamed in surprise, shouting that her son was too cool. Many people around them also cheered for the youth's new appearance.
"Guess how many moves the Guardian will need to win today?"
"One move! My son is no exception. "
"Bullsh * t, today's opponent is Yusen. He's been in the top five for three consecutive years, and he was only 24 years old when he participated in the competition. He's a real genius!"
According to the interstellar standard, the average age of adulthood was 35 years old. In reality, it was about 11 or 12 years old.
To be able to enter the top five at 11 or 12 years old was indeed a genius.
"This is his last time participating, so he'll definitely try his best to enter the top three. Just watch, today's competition will definitely be exciting!"
The uncle on the left was talking to the people around him. Xu Sili was deep in thought.
He wasn't too worried. Battles in the interstellar network wouldn't kill people. At most, it would cause mental damage, but that was a rare situation.
Xu Sili felt that the name Yusen was a bit familiar. Many similar situations had happened before, so he immediately thought of "Game of Gods".
Could this Yusen also be a card character?
He carefully thought about it, but couldn't think of anything. Even if he used [Insight] on Yusen, he would only see useless information like "Yusen's projection".
At this time, the competition had already begun. Xu Sili didn't think too much about it. After all, even if Yusen was a card character, he was still a genius from another country. He probably wouldn't be able to poach him.
It was now the second stage of the Genius Competition. It wasn't just two people fighting on the stage. Instead, it was a virtual map where all sorts of unexpected situations would occur.
The contestants had to find their opponent, kill them, or make them surrender. This gave the contestants, who weren't suited for direct confrontation, space to display their abilities.
The map for this match was a random piece of cosmic space that was densely packed with rubble.
Xu Sili felt his vision darken. A beautiful and quiet space appeared around him. Then, a huge meteorite came crashing down on him.
His heart skipped a beat. The audience around him screamed.
This was only a virtual image, but it made people feel like they were in the real world. They could feel the danger hidden within.
There was no inability to breathe in space. This was clearly a mecha battle. Soon, the audience began to discuss.
"Does the guardian know how to pilot a mecha?"
"I don't know. I've never seen him pilot one before."
"I don't think this is going to happen. The guardian is from the Liberal League. He should be from a small country. Are there any mecha from a small country that can be used?"
"Don't say that. The top 50 countries are still very strong."
"If he's really from a big country like the top 50, do you think he'll hide it? Or does he have some kind of ability that no one has managed to uncover his identity? "
Xu Sili listened to their discussion and frowned.
Si Sheng …
It seemed like he really didn't know how to pilot a mecha.
"Game of Gods" wasn't a sci-fi setting. The Roland Empire didn't have the conditions to let him learn. So in theory, Si Sheng shouldn't be able to pilot a mecha.
Xu Sili suddenly became nervous. Would Si Sheng be okay?
He really wanted to see how Si Sheng was doing, but the camera was focused on Yusen. This was enough to whet the audience's appetite.
Yusen had already taken out his mecha. This was one of the skills he had mastered. It was in accordance with the rules, but the mecha's functions were strictly limited.
The mainframe of the Star Web would choose to open up the mecha's functions according to the strength of the opponent's country. This data would also be displayed.
And Yusen's mecha … its functions were opened up to 100%!
"The guardian is participating anonymously. We don't know which country he's from, so the opponent's mecha won't be restricted."
"He's in trouble. Yusen's overall strength is ranked sixth. His mecha development skills are also top-notch. Yusen's mecha is also quite famous in the circle."
"Yes, I heard that he installed antimatter cannons and the latest detection system …"
They were discussing, and some of the technical terms confused Xu Sili. Anyway, the mecha's technical standards were amazing!
He felt a little dignified.
He watched as Yusen piloted the silver mecha, nimbly shuttling through the meteorites. When he flew over the audience, he could feel how big the mecha was.
It was more than ten meters tall, as tall as a few floors. It was even bigger than an interstellar beast.
He didn't know what the effect of piloting a mecha against an interstellar beast would be. It should be able to deal with at least one or two star interstellar beasts.
It was a pity that the Roland Empire didn't have anyone who could pilot a mecha. This required training from a young age. It was very different from the Roland Empire's strength system. Rashly bringing in someone would only cause them to be unaccustomed to the environment.
Xu Sili shook his head and dismissed this idea for the time being.
While he was distracted, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
Yusen, who was shuttling through the meteorites, suddenly stopped and looked into the distance. He seemed to be in a daze. Even when the meteorites flew past him, he didn't react.
The commentator was the first to react. "Contestant Yusen has stopped moving. Did he discover something?"
"What happened?"
"Did Yusen's mecha malfunction?"
"How is that possible? The battle hasn't started yet. How could it malfunction? "
The audience began to discuss animatedly, but everyone was confused.
"The camera is starting to follow!" The commentator said excitedly. "Let's see why contestant Yusen stopped. Could it be because he found an opponent?"
"If he found an opponent, then he should be hiding now. With contestant Yusen's usual caution, he shouldn't make such a low-level mistake."
As the commentator spoke, the camera kept moving in the direction that Yusen was looking at. The audience's field of vision also kept moving forward, and the meteorites were magnified in front of them.
Finally, the audience realized that there was something wrong with this meteorite field.
The meteorite field around Yusen was filled with large and small rocks flying everywhere. There was no way to predict the trajectory of the meteorites, and each of them had a huge impact force.
For spaceships and battleships, this environment was a nightmare. No matter how strong the material was, it was impossible to pass through the meteorite field without any damage.
Only small machines like the Mechs could travel through them.
However, the meteorites in this area were motionless, as if they were controlled by someone.
Xu Sili's heart skipped a beat. Could this be …
"Look!" The commentator shouted excitedly.
The camera stopped moving forward and moved to the side.
As the meteorites in front of them moved away, a petite figure slowly appeared in the center of the meteorite field, appearing in front of everyone.
Compared to the huge meteorite field, it was not an exaggeration to describe him as "petite."
In the starry sky, a young man in a dark uniform was suspended in mid-air. The cape behind him was no longer fluttering, and it was casually hanging down.
However, this kind of hanging down was even more shocking in the weightless universe.
What was even more shocking was that —
He didn't have any protective measures and was exposed to outer space, and he didn't die from suffocation!
The audience was in an uproar.
"Is there a bug?"
"Yeah, the guardian doesn't have a mecha or a spacesuit. How is he breathing? Look at him, there's no sign of weightlessness! "
Today's competition received a lot of attention. Almost all the audience in the Interstellar raised questions. There were too many reports, and the Star Alliance urgently conducted a thorough investigation.
However, the final test result was — —
Everything was normal.
"How is this normal? Are you blind or am I blind? "
The audience who complained were all agitated.
The officials had no choice but to respond again. "The guardian from the Liberal League didn't use any cheats or bugs. The fact that he can do this only proves one thing — — he can do this in reality."
Or even better.
Those in the know knew that the Interstellar Network couldn't fully simulate the abilities of the real world, and no one wanted all their data to be collected by the Interstellar Network.
Therefore, the strength displayed on the Interstellar Network might only be 70-80% of the strength displayed in reality, but because everyone was about the same, the unfairness wasn't too serious.
All the contestants were undoubtedly more afraid of this young man who suddenly appeared.
Everything outside the arena didn't affect the arena.
After knowing that the young man didn't use cheats, the audience's enthusiasm seemed to explode. Enthusiastic cheers erupted from the spectator stands of every region.
Xu Sili also slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Affected by the surrounding atmosphere, he also cheered for his boyfriend with the girls beside him.
On the simulated map of the SP region.
Si Sheng couldn't hear the commotion outside, but he suddenly sensed something. He tilted his ear slightly, as if he could hear a voice coming from another Interstellar Network community far away.
The corners of his lips curled up, and he finally felt a trace of satisfaction towards the little artificial intelligence life form.
However, when he looked at the mecha standing still in the distance, he felt more irritated.
"You're very slow."
He spoke slowly.
In the cockpit, Yu Sen was stunned. Just now … he heard the guardian's voice?
Why?
This was indeed outer space, right?!
Why was he able to transmit his voice? And it was so far away, and he was still sitting in the mecha!
Did he see a ghost, or was there a bug in the Interstellar Network?
Yu Sen even wanted to open the cockpit door and go outside to see if the environment here had changed. Otherwise, how could such a strange thing happen?
However, the mecha's detector clearly showed that the concentration of air outside was zero. It was currently in a state of zero gravity!
Could it be that the guardian race could survive in a state of zero oxygen?
Then, he heard a sigh, as if the guardian was helpless and dissatisfied with his slowness.
Yu Sen was, after all, a prodigy with rich battle experience. After hearing this sigh, he quickly moved, turned on the concealment device, and activated the antimatter cannon.
The guardian stood there like a target. No matter how he did it, if he didn't attack, he would be letting down such a good opportunity!
Then, the nightmare that would follow him for the rest of his life happened.
