Xu Sili was in a daze.
At this moment, he was too close to Si Sheng.
When he looked up, he could see Si Sheng's eyes that were as deep as the ocean. They were enchanting and deep, with a hint of gentleness.
Si Sheng held a handkerchief in his hand and helped him wipe off the milk stains on his mouth. His actions were gentle, but also a little too intimate.
That's right, too intimate.
Xu Sili blinked and grabbed Si Sheng's hand. When the man paused, he snatched the handkerchief from him and stood up abruptly.
Si Sheng looked up at him.
This time, it was Xu Sili who did not dare to look him in the eye.
"This … This Emperor can do it himself!"
After he finished speaking, he wiped his mouth with the handkerchief and strode out of the dining hall. His hurried back made him look like he was running away.
Jenna, who was standing at the side with a jug of milk in her hands, looked at this and that, her eyes shining.
Si Sheng, on the other hand, kept looking in the direction of the door. His gaze was distant, and only after a long while did he look away.
He lowered his head slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking. He only stared at his hands.
"Sir Si Sheng, do you still want more milk?" Jenna asked.
"No need."
Si Sheng looked up again, his expression returning to its cold and indifferent state.
"Go take care of His Majesty."
"Yes, Sir."
Jenna put down the jug of milk and said respectfully, "Then, Sir Si Sheng, please enjoy your meal."
She bowed, and when she turned around, there was a hint of a smile on her face, as if she had seen something interesting.
Xu Sili ignored the saluting guard and strode back to his quarters. When he closed the door, he realized that he was still holding onto the handkerchief.
It was a white silk fabric with strands of gold thread, and was very similar to the style of the military uniform on a certain someone.
Xu Sili seemed to have burned his hand. He suddenly shivered and threw the handkerchief away.
The white handkerchief inlaid with gold fell lightly to the ground.
After staring at the handkerchief for a few seconds, Xu Sili pursed his lips and decisively looked away.
This is not right.
This was too fishy!
Since yesterday at the Elementalist College, he had felt that there was something wrong with Si Sheng.
One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions. Si Sheng must be up to something!
Xu Sili narrowed his eyes.
He started to put himself in Si Sheng's shoes. If he was Si Sheng, what could make him change so much?
What could make him compromise like this? What could make him be so nice to a person who originally wanted to kill him, but accidentally controlled him, turned him into a puppet, and even had the possibility of fleecing him for a long time?
Not only had she been cooperating with the operation, but she had also come to eat with him today and made such an intimate gesture.
Xu Sili walked in circles on the spot. After two circles, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and felt that he had understood something.
That's right, freedom!
If he was turned into a puppet, he would definitely find a way to break the secret technique and regain his freedom.
And as a puppet, Si Sheng could not hurt him under the restrictions of the rules. Therefore, he could only save his country in a roundabout way. First, he had to please him, then find a way to break the secret technique!
The more Xu Sili thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. Finally, he found a reasonable explanation for Si Sheng's strange behavior.
He stood still on the spot, his light purple eyes flashing slightly.
To be honest, his feelings for Si Sheng were a bit complicated. After all, he was a paper person that he had raised himself. If he did not have feelings for him, he would not have asked the game team to transplant his data.
But now, Si Sheng was not his paper person. He was not the little slave that he had raised, and he was not the only loyal believer that he had.
He had been given a new life and story line by the game team. He had been reborn in "Star Age".
Right now, he was a living person.
Xu Sili had only been in this world for a short time, but none of the people that he had come into contact with could make Xu Sili treat them as emotionless NPCs in the game world.
Whether it was Si Sheng, Li Zheyu, Janice, Xiao Qiong, Principal Justin, Vice Principal Chrissy, Su Lin, or even Ah Li and her son, whom he had only met once when he went to the mercenary town.
They were all so real. They had their own joys and sorrows, and they had their own lively lives.
Si Sheng was the same.
He was no longer a paper person that was created by the game designers in "Game of Gods" to cater to the players in all aspects.
He had his own emotions and thoughts, and this made him no longer accept control.
Perhaps this was the reason why Snow Roland, who was supposed to inherit the throne and die of old age, was killed by him and went offline early on?
Xu Sili narrowed his eyes.
However, this wasn't a reason to forgive him.
At the very least, he wouldn't remove the puppet technique on Si Sheng because of this. Of course, he didn't know how to remove it at the moment.
Si Sheng had to fight for his own destiny, and he also had to work hard to live on and reunite with his family as soon as possible.
As for a powerful and unstable factor like Si Sheng, it was best to keep him within a safe range.
Perhaps, when he was stronger in the future and his anger towards Si Sheng had subsided, he would try to set him free.
Xu Sili thought as his gaze fell on the wall that led to the secret room.
Now wasn't the time to think about this. There were still 28 days until the payment of the alliance fee, and he had to continue working hard to earn 10 million universe credits.
He lifted his feet and walked towards the secret room, but when he passed by the handkerchief, he stopped in his tracks.
The young man frowned deeply.
After a mental struggle, he finally clicked his tongue impatiently, bent down to pick up the handkerchief, and coolly put it in his pocket.
Then, he walked straight to the wall, opened the door to the secret room, and walked in.
"Star Alliance welcomes you, brother."
As soon as he laid down in the game cabin, Xiao Wu's cute voice sounded, and Xu Sili couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.
"Good morning, Xiao Wu." He greeted in a light tone.
"Good morning, brother."
Xiao Wu replied methodically.
Xu Sili opened his eyes and entered the virtual room again. He familiarly walked to the sofa, and just as he sat down, Xiao Wu's voice sounded again, "You want to play a game …"
"I don't want to play games."
Xu Sili interrupted it, afraid that it would play those blinding holographic games again and pollute his vision.
He thought about it, but still didn't feel reassured, so he said, "Xiao Wu, put those holographic games into a folder and call it 'trash'."
"In the future, don't put anything in this folder out without my permission."
It would be a pity to just delete them. After all, the old emperor spent a lot of money to buy them, so it was better to keep them and see if they could be used in the future.
"Okay."
After two seconds, Xiao Wu said obediently, "It's been classified, brother."
"Very good, thank you, Xiao Wu."
The little boy's voice was so cute that Xu Sili couldn't help but treat Xiao Wu as a child, and he felt relaxed and happy talking to it.
"Xiao Wu, open the Star Qu Network, I want to see the backend."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Soon, a transparent light screen appeared in front of Xu Sili, and Xiao Wu's voice sounded again.
"The Star Qu Network backend has been opened for you, brother."
Xu Sili nodded and then operated on the light screen — in the virtual room, he could directly touch the light screen.
He opened the album uploaded yesterday and checked it.
To be honest, Xu Sili was both nervous and a little expectant.
Although he had always said that in this era of big data, his album wouldn't even make a splash on the Star Qu Network, but he couldn't help but have a wishful thinking.
What if?
He even encountered a transmigrated game, what if it became popular?
But when he saw the backend data, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He was disappointed, but also relieved.
Total views: 10
"Backlight": 2
"Starry Sky": 2
"Burning": 2
"Blossom": 2
"Roland's Goodnight Song": 2
In one night, the entire album only had 10 views, and the five songs were very evenly distributed, with each contributing two views.
In other words, it was very likely that only two people clicked in and then tried each song.
But to Xu Sili's surprise, the number of subscribers was also 2, and the original balance of 0 had now become: 1.10.
Every song on the Star Qu Network had a free chance to listen to it, and if you want to continue listening, you have to pay.
The more popular the song, the higher the charge.
And some new songs that were not popular were very cheap, with one Universe Coin being able to buy three or four songs — —
Of course, most of them were only valid for a month, and when the time was up, you could choose to renew the subscription, but the price might increase.
In this way, there were always people who liked to listen to songs but were greedy for small gains, and instead of choosing popular songs, they would look for songs in the new song library.
When these good new songs stood out and the price increased, they would continue to look for new songs. There was also a special list on the Star Qu Network for such listeners to look for songs.
Such a system provided opportunities for newcomers to stand out, and was also one of the reasons why the Star Qu Network could become so big and strong.
Xu Sili recalled the popular science that Xiao Wu gave him, and opened the subscription list to take a closer look.
His entire album of five songs only cost 1 Universe Coin, and a single song was 0.25.
But because "Roland's Goodnight Song" was not an original song, he could only charge 0.1 Universe Coin for the singing fee.
Yesterday, someone ordered his entire album, and another person only bought one song, which was "Roland's Goodnight Song".
This made Xu Sili a little surprised.
Moreover, he also saw a comment that was left at 11 o 'clock last night.
[Brother Tao who loves new songs]
"There is nothing to say about the singing. The first four songs are very much in the classical style of Xu Sili, but I feel that the lyrics and music are still a little lacking. But the last ballad was a pleasant surprise, it has a sense of tranquility and is very suitable to listen to in the middle of the night."
"Great album, I will continue to pay attention to you. PS: Your Majesty Roland, this stage name is too chuunibyou, hhhh"
Xu Sili froze for a moment, he did not pay attention to the stage name and directly used the ID of the old emperor on the Star Qu Network.
He quickly said, "Xiao Wu, I want to change my name."
"The Star Qu Network ID is not repeatable, it costs 100 Universe Coins to change it once. The balance is not enough, it cannot be changed."
Xu Sili was a little depressed, and asked, "What about the stage name on the Star Qu Network?"
"The Star Qu Network ID is the same as the Star Qu Network ID by default, it costs 1000 Universe Coins to change it, brother."
"Why is the Star Qu Network more expensive than the Star Qu Network?"
"Brother, this is the rule."
Xu Sili could not help but sigh, one cent can stump a hero, let alone one thousand Universe Coins?
Forget it, chuunibyou so be it.
He closed the backstage, there was nothing more to see after a glance anyway.
"Brother, are you sad?"
At this time, Xiao Wu's soft voice sounded.
Xu Sili smiled and shook his head, "I expected this, it's not that sad."
"Xiao Wu, continue to help me keep an eye out, see if there is any information that can help me earn a lot of Universe Coins in a short period of time. The amount is not limited to ten million, hundreds of thousands or even millions are fine."
"Wanted bounties are not allowed, and leaving Ai Xue Star is also not allowed …"
Xu Sili listed a few conditions.
In fact, with such a strict restriction, it was really difficult to find something that met the requirements.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Xiao Wu, help me keep an eye out for activities similar to welfare lottery."
"Checking for you, please wait a moment."
"The results are as follows, the best solution has been selected for you."
"The Fanda Galactic Federation's welfare lottery, the starting price is the lowest in the Star Alliance, only two Universe Coins to buy one. The lottery is held every Monday, and the current first prize pool has accumulated 42.8 million Universe Coins."
Xu Sili blinked, and then smiled bitterly again.
With his current account balance, he could not even afford a single lottery ticket.
"How about this, Xiao Wu, if I have balance in my account, help me buy a welfare lottery ticket every Monday, the numbers will be random."
"Okay, brother."
Although he did not have much hope, if he did not buy it, there would be no hope at all, so he bought it to try his luck.
"Okay, let me think about what to do next."
Xu Sili collapsed back on the sofa.
"I have to get someone to give the seeds of the Dark Valley to Su Lin, see if he can cultivate the Snow Valley, hmm …"
Thinking of something, Xu Sili sat up again.
"Xiao Wu, help me look up information on the Dark Valley and the Snow Valley. The Snow Valley is probably more difficult to find, but the Dark Valley is a common food crop, so there should be ready-made information on the planting method and the required environment."
"Also, there are some blueprints for the construction of houses, they don't need to be too advanced, just ordinary wooden houses and brick houses will do."
"Okay, brother." Xiao Wu once again collected information for him.
"Can you send the information to my communication device?"
"With brother's communication device model, you can only export the data from external devices, you can't export it directly."
"Okay then, sorry to trouble you, Xiao Wu."
"It's no trouble, brother."
Maybe it was because Xiao Wu's voice was too soft and cute, but when Xu Sili heard it, he felt like it was very happy.
This made him feel a lot lighter.
One step at a time, there will always be a way.
Xu Sili sat in the virtual room for a while, waiting for Xiao Wu to help him look up the information, then he exited immersion mode. According to the instructions, the information was imported from the game cabin into the communication device.
The transmission speed was very fast, it was done in ten seconds.
"Ding dong —"
Just then, a message notification sounded, someone sent him a message.
Xu Sili glanced at it, it was sent to him by Janice, reminding him that Chief Governor Wen Jishan wanted to see him.
Wen Jishan?
Looking at this name, Xu Sili frowned.
He felt that it was a bit familiar, not because of Snow Roland's memory, but because he seemed to have seen it somewhere else …
He replied to Janice, then walked out of the dark room.
Outside the bedroom, Janice, who had fully recovered after a night of rest, was waiting for him.
When she saw Xu Sili walk out, there was a slightly strange look in her eyes.
Her Majesty …
She seemed to have grown taller? Her aura had also become much stronger.
She observed Xu Sili, and when she confirmed that it wasn't an illusion, she couldn't help but show some joy.
Yesterday on the way to the town, she saw the scene of Her Majesty's epiphany, it seems that last night, Her Majesty had another epiphany!
Was there anything more delightful than this?
"Good day, Your Majesty." Janice concealed her joy and bowed respectfully.
"Janice, it seems that your body has recovered."
Xu Sili used the Insight Spell on her, and when he saw that all her stats had returned to full, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Janice smiled, her red eyes were full of kindness and gratification, which made Xu Sili feel very uncomfortable.
He hurriedly said, "Let's go, let's go see Wen Jishan."
Xu Sili walked in the direction of the main hall, Janice followed closely behind, and the captain of the guards, Li Zheyu, who had been acting as a backdrop, also followed.
In the main hall.
Si Sheng stood in front of the hall, quietly looking at the throne on the steps. No one could tell what he was thinking.
Next to him stood a tall and slender figure. That person had gray hair and green eyes, and wore a pair of round-framed glasses. His skin was as pale as paper, and his lips were very light.
At this moment, he was looking at the cracked floor tiles under his feet, and studied them with interest.
He then turned to look at Si Sheng, and saw that he was staring at the throne without blinking, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that Lord Si Sheng has finally thought it through?" Wen Jishan said lightly, "I think, with your strength, you deserve to sit on that throne."
Si Sheng retracted his gaze and said coldly, "Wen Jishan, watch your words."
Wen Jishan shrugged his shoulders. Just as he was about to say something, he heard footsteps outside.
In an instant, his smile disappeared, and he obediently stood to the side, watching as the little emperor walked in from outside, surrounded by maids and guards.
When the little emperor sat on the throne, he respectfully bowed.
However, what surprised Wen Jishan was that Si Sheng actually also bowed politely, and it seemed that he didn't have the slightest intention of forcing himself.
His eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything.
Xu Sili glanced at Si Sheng, and didn't pay him any more attention. His light purple eyes looked up and down at Wen Jishan.
When he saw the real person, he suddenly understood.
He felt that Wen Jishan was familiar because — — he was also a card in "Game of Gods"!
Wen Jishan should be considered one of the popular characters.
After all, there was a market for black-bellied scum who liked to wear glasses. There were many second-rate female players who liked this type of character.
However, for Xu Sili, other than Si Sheng, he mainly considered the practicality of the other cards. For example, Wen Jishan was a very useful card in the early stages of the game.
Because he was good at — —
Financial management!
As long as he brought him along, the battlefield settlement reward would at least double, and this card could also be used for business. The profit from opening a dessert shop would be very good.
It was very important for accumulating funds in the early stages.
And if a princess wanted to become a king, wealth was also one of the criteria.
However, Wen Jishan was a trash. In the middle and later stages of the game, it would be easy to lose if he brought him along.
One time, because of him, he almost broke the winning streak record. In a fit of anger, Xu Sili threw him in a corner to eat dust.
Anyway, he didn't lack money. If he needed money, he could just spend it.
But now …
He lacked money!
He needed a talent who knew how to earn money!
Xu Sili stared at Wen Jishan with his sharp eyes and directly threw an observation spell.
[Wen Jishan]
Identity: NPC with special abilities
Level: lv5
Health Points: 8000/8000
Elemental Affinity: None
Special Abilities: Financial Management (Participating in business activities will increase revenue by 100%, and when running a dessert shop, revenue will increase by 150%)
A NPC with special abilities?
Xu Sili blinked. He never expected that there would be such a surprise.
This Chief Magistrate was truly a talent!
He couldn't help but search for information about Wen Jishan in his mind.
In Snow Roland's limited knowledge, this Chief Governor was very young. He was only 28 years old this year and had just taken office two years ago.
Although he was young, he did a very good job.
Because of the Beast Tide three years ago, the Roland Empire's vitality was greatly damaged. The fact that they could recover so quickly was definitely due to this Chief Governor.
It was probably also because of him that the old Emperor was able to pass away from illness and finally leave this mess to his third son, who had always been neglected.
Xu Sili pondered. The more he looked at Wen Jishan, the more satisfied he felt. In comparison, Li Zheyu, who was also a card player, was too ordinary.
Although he also had two-star combat power, compared to Si Sheng, his combat power was nothing. He didn't have any special abilities. Other than loyalty, he probably didn't have any other merits.
Thinking of this, Xu Sili looked at Li Zheyu with some disdain. This captain of the guards was confused.
What's going on? Why does it feel like His Majesty is disgusted with him …
Li Zheyu couldn't help but straighten his body. At the same time, he reflected in his heart. What did he do to offend His Majesty?
Xu Sili had already looked at Wen Jishan again.
This guy's appearance opened up a new line of thought.
Apart from him, were there any other NPCs with special abilities? If he could unearth all of them, they would definitely be a great help!
Thinking of this, Xu Sili's eyes lit up.
He looked at Wen Jishan with a gentle gaze. In the end, he even curled his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile.
The young Emperor, who was as beautiful as a fairy, had a cold expression. At this moment, when he suddenly smiled, it was as if the ice and snow had melted, making people's hearts tremble.
Beside Wen Jishan, Si Sheng, who had always been cold and silent, also raised his eyes at this time. Seeing the smile on the young Emperor's face, his thin lips slightly pursed.
As for Wen Jishan, in the face of the little Emperor's sudden appearance, he was also dazed, but he quickly recovered.
He bowed slightly in a respectful manner, but it gave people an inexplicable sense of arrogance.
"I request to see Your Majesty today regarding yesterday's matter in the Mercenary Town." Wen Jishan said, "I watched the broadcast and know that Your Majesty has promised the town's mayor that you will soon allocate funds to rebuild the town?"
Xu Sili looked at him, the smile on his face fading.
"That's right," he said softly.
Wen Jishan frowned slightly. His attitude was still respectful, but the words he said were not polite at all.
"I think that perhaps the allocation of funds to rebuild the town should be delayed for a while. The Mercenary Town is not an important place. We only need to resettle the victims. Renovating and rebuilding …"
"I don't think that is necessary."
Xu Sili stared at him, patiently waiting for him to finish speaking. His face had already turned cold again.
The monarch and his minister confronted each other.
In the main hall, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
At this moment, Si Sheng, who was at the side, silently looked away. His originally tightly pursed lips slightly relaxed.
There was even a slight tendency to bend …
