In a room of about twenty to thirty square meters, there was a virtual cabin bought from a secondhand market.
From the outside, this virtual cabin was very old, but it was well maintained by the owner, and after being repaired and modified, its performance was still quite good.
The door of the virtual cabin opened, and Wang Ling sat up.
After setting a time and place to meet with His Majesty, she went offline for the time being.
"Xiao Ling."
A slightly weak male voice sounded, and Wang Ling looked to the side.
Next to the virtual cabin was a small bed, and her husband, Yi Minkang, was lying on it, giving her a pale smile.
The man was about forty years old, with some gray hair on his temples, and a very thin body. At this moment, he struggled to sit up.
Wang Ling replied to him with a gentle smile, got up, and left the game cabin. Then she heard her husband say, "I made food for you, it's in the incubator, go ahead and eat."
Wang Ling couldn't help but frown. "I'll just take the nutrient solution, no need to go through so much trouble."
The man quieted down and didn't say much, but she knew that he would secretly cook for her when she was working next time. He was always so stubborn …
Wang Ling didn't say anything more and took out the food.
Her husband's cooking was actually not good, but he was very attentive, and slowly, the food went from being difficult to swallow to now being edible.
However, looking at the fresh vegetables and meat, Wang Ling still disagreed. "Didn't I tell you not to buy such expensive ingredients? I'll just eat something, and if not, I'll just take the nutrient solution. "
"The nutrient solution doesn't taste good, I know you don't like it." Yi Minkang coughed and suddenly said in a low voice, "When I'm gone, you won't have to live so hard …"
Hearing his words, Wang Ling's tears fell instantly.
The most important reason why they chose to flee their motherland was to treat his illness.
Yi Minkang had an extremely rare disease that required a special medicine every day, and the success rate of a successful cure was only 10%.
The special medicine was very expensive, but because of their savings in the first half of their lives, they could barely maintain it, and with their status and contributions in the Academy of Sciences, they could still live a decent life.
However, because they were accidentally involved in a political struggle, after the new regime took over, they were targeted as political enemies.
Not only were they removed from the Academy of Sciences, but they also tried to erase their past contributions to the country by public opinion, and the supply channel of the special medicine was also cut off.
This was simply murder!
They were too weak to resist. Their colleagues in the Academy of Science who were willing to stand up for them were all punished, either lightly or heavily.
In the end, when there was not much medicine left, Wang Ling finally made up her mind and took her husband to flee the country.
This plan was not easy to carry out, but there were still many people who were willing to help them. It was just that after escaping, it would be very difficult for them to survive.
In the end, they gave up on seeking asylum from other countries, changed their names, and came to Planet Bazite. Relying on the two new identities they had prepared in advance, they settled down here.
Now, all the money she earned from the Star Web was used to buy life-saving medicine for her husband in the black market.
In fact, it was impossible for her not to be tempted by the high salary offered by the king of Roland. However, with her husband's health condition, he was no longer suitable for interstellar travel.
He was so weak that he couldn't even get on the Star Web, let alone travel long distances.
Moreover, it was easy to be exposed on such a journey.
After all, there were too many checkpoints to go through when traveling from one country to another.
Once they were caught, they would really be finished.
Wang Ling silently shed tears, but her hands did not stop. She kept stuffing food into her mouth, as if this was the only way to ease her emotions at the moment.
Finally, Yi Minkang noticed his wife's abnormality.
"Why are you crying?"
He said anxiously. Then, his face gradually dimmed. "I've been dragging you down … If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to give up your good life and your dreams …"
"Don't say anymore!" Wang Ling roared in a low voice. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket, calmly wiped her tears, and then continued to eat.
"Our life is getting better. I won't give up on you, and you won't give up on me."
She thought of something and said a few words to the virtual cabin. The intelligent voice system started to work. In the small room, a beautiful melody suddenly sounded.
Yi Minkang listened to the song quietly. He felt that the negative emotions in his heart were slowly fading away, replaced by the desire for life.
It was Germinal by His Majesty Roland.
This had become his favorite song. The vitality that burst out from the singer through the song often made him feel hot tears in his eyes.
He never knew that music could have such a huge amount of energy.
The only regrettable thing was that he could not understand the meaning of the lyrics. For a scientific worker who liked to ask questions, there was nothing more uncomfortable than this.
"His Majesty Roland just contacted me," Wang Ling said calmly.
Yi Minkang was stunned. "What?"
"He asked me to be a mecha consultant," she said. "We'll meet at Area E tonight."
"You … you're talking about the singer of this song, His Majesty Roland?"
"Yes."
Yi Minkang could not believe it. He was almost fifty years old. At this moment, he was suddenly at a loss.
However, he quickly remembered that with his current physical condition, he could not go on the Galactic Web.
He could not help but sigh. With some regret, he said, "Then you have to guide him well … sigh, if only we could meet, or get an autograph or something …"
Wang Ling finally smiled. "You're already so old, and you're still chasing celebrities like a kid."
"How is this the same? It's not the same, it's not the same. "
Yi Minkang sat on the bed and listened to the song played in the virtual cabin. When he entered the next Requiem, he slowly closed his eyes.
After Wang Ling finished her meal, she saw that half of his body was tilted and his eyes were closed. She could not help but smile helplessly and went to help him lie down on the bed.
Then, she took out the design drawings from the bookshelf and spread them on the table. She began to write and draw seriously.
Although these design drawings probably would not be realized one day, she still liked to record her inspiration. Occasionally, she would think about some unsolvable problems left in the past and write down all kinds of hypothetical solutions.
Time passed unknowingly in this state.
Finally, it was the appointed time.
Under Yi Minkang's eager gaze, Wang Ling lay down in the virtual cabin and entered Area E again. Guided by the map, she directly arrived at a certain room.
She glanced around the room and found that the other party was already there.
It was a young man with silver hair. He was extremely beautiful, especially his light purple eyes. When he looked up and met her eyes, Wang Ling even forgot to breathe.
"You … are His Majesty Roland?"
Xu Sili nodded. The virtual image that Wang Ling used was newly created and did not match her real body. He took a look and then looked away.
"Sit."
He pointed at the chair opposite him and said softly.
Si Sheng had gone to participate in the Genius Competition and did not accompany him today. Anyway, in the Galactic Web, he had Xiao Wu's protection, so it was unlikely that he would be in any danger.
Wang Ling was a little reserved. She was someone who was used to big events, but in front of this young man, she found herself a little nervous.
She took a deep breath and walked over to sit opposite the young man.
"Excuse me … you are the singer of 'Germinal', that His Majesty Roland, right?" Wang Ling asked.
Xu Sili nodded. "Have you heard my song?"
"Yes, in fact, my husband and I are your loyal listeners. I am very sorry, but due to personal reasons, I am unable to act as your mecha consultant in the real world. However, if you have any questions, you can find me on the Galactic Web. "
Wang Ling looked at the silver-haired young man and said softly, "I will not charge you anything for this meeting. I only hope that you can agree to a request of mine."
Xu Sili did not expect that the other party would have a request of him.
He nodded. "Go ahead."
"I hope to get a personal letter from you to write words of encouragement for a patient," Wang Ling said in a low voice.
"Is it for your husband?" Xu Sili asked.
From Xiao Wu, he had obtained all the information about this couple and knew about Dr. Yi Minkang's illness.
In fact, Dr. Yi Minkang had not completely recovered after ten years, but he was still stubbornly living on. He had even joined the Academy of Science in the Bazite Country with his wife.
In the end, the couple had achieved very dazzling results and became one of the top 100 scientists in the Galactic Web.
This made Xu Sili feel very impressed.
Wang Ling nodded. Then, she heard the young man say, "I think, he might not need such a letter."
She was stunned. She suddenly looked up at him, and the expression in her eyes changed.
"You are …"
Wang Ling was ready to go offline at any time. Xu Sili saw this and hurriedly said, "Madam, don't be nervous. I mean no harm."
He looked at her and said softly, "This room has been encrypted. Other than you and me, no one else will be able to hear our conversation. Please relax."
Wang Ling bit her lower lip. She wanted to go offline, but she found that … the logout function was not working!
Xu Sili looked at her with a gentle smile.
"Madam Wang, as the former chief mecha designer, are you really willing to stay in District E and be a small mecha consultant?"
Wang Ling's face was pale. She knew that her identity was exposed!
"What do you want?"
She had already prepared herself for the worst, but she heard the young man say, "I hope that you can come to my Empire and be the vice president of the Empire Research Institute. You can conduct research related to mecha."
Xu Sili went straight to the point. "I mean you and your husband no harm. If you are willing to come to my country, then in addition to the power and responsibility second only to the president, I will also promise you the most generous treatment."
Wang Ling was about to refuse, but the young man continued, "Also, I will treat your husband's illness."
