"Big Brother, Xiao Wu welcomes you."
As soon as Xu Sili entered the virtual room, the familiar voice rang in his ears.
Although it was still somewhat mechanical, Xu Sili could clearly hear a hint of joy in the voice.
Xiao Wu …
It seemed that her consciousness was really gradually awakening …
Since he had made the decision, Xu Sili did not delay and said directly, "Xiao Wu, I'll sing for you."
The room was quiet, and then a small robot slowly appeared in the air, landed on the coffee table, and looked up at Xu Sili.
"Big Brother … Sing … Sing 'Germinal' …"
Xu Sili looked at its cute appearance and relaxed a little.
Xiao Wu …
It shouldn't be bad, right?
"Xiao Wu, I can sing for you."
Xu Sili said, "But you have to promise me that you won't do anything to hurt me in the future."
Although it might be useless to say it, it was always necessary to take precautions in advance.
"Xiao Wu … Can't hurt … Big Brother …"
The little robot's eyes flashed, and its mouth opened and closed. The words it said were a little intermittent, and it was not the same as its usual smooth mechanical voice.
Xu Sili looked at it and could not help but reach out his finger and touch its little head.
Of course, what he touched was still a metallic texture.
He did not care, and he played the song that he had recorded before and began to sing.
[Germinal] required 100 magic points each time. According to his current magic points, he could only sing it a dozen times a day.
He did not know if the level of the song would increase after the proficiency reached 100 points. After reaching level 2, the value should increase.
In fact, [Germinal] was a very interesting skill. In addition to healing, it had a second effect: When listening to a certain number of times, the listener's elemental affinity would be increased by a very small margin.
A skill to increase elemental affinity …
If he sang at Elementalist College every day, would he be able to increase the elemental affinity of the students? And then increase their strength?
Xu Sili sang while thinking.
He was too busy before, and after obtaining this skill, he did not have time to study it properly.
Now it seemed that this skill, in addition to being practical, was also very strategic.
However …
He had to consume his magic power to sing for the students every day?
Xu Sili shook his head.
He was the Emperor, how could he do such a thing?
As the young man thought of this, his gaze fell on the backstage of Star Melody Network.
They couldn't enjoy the live version, but everyone could listen to the recorded version.
After singing the song once, Xu Sili downloaded the recorded version of Germinal and sent it to Wen Jishan and Chrissy.
Now he felt …
Wen Jishan was really too useful as a consul!
Si Sheng had actually discovered his talent and recommended him to the Emperor. He had a sharp eye.
On the other side, Wen Jishan was standing in the lobby of the Mercenary Association's headquarters.
Due to its nature, the Mercenary Association's headquarters was set up in the Mercenary Town. He brought the 188 students over to register as mercenaries.
This was actually for their own good.
In the future, after the reform of the Elementalists in the Guard Army, all Elementalists would become mercenaries. They would need to complete a certain number of missions every year, and only when they reached a certain number of points could they retain their original level or be promoted.
Every level corresponded to different benefits and subsidies.
Elementalists at the frontlines would also join the mercenary system, but they were different from mercenaries.
They would have a large bonus points to ensure that the Elementalists at the frontlines could play a role as a role model, and also encourage more Elementalists to fight at the frontlines.
These students now worked in the Mercenary Town and were also rewarded with points, which were related to their future subsidies.
After a day of inspection, all the students stayed, which made Wen Jishan very satisfied.
Since this was the case, he could not let these children suffer too much.
At this time, a short-haired girl approached Wen Jishan and asked carefully, "Sir Governor, do we have to join the Mercenary Association?"
Wen Jishan looked at her and said, "Does your father work in the Finance Bureau?"
The girl nodded vigorously. "Yes, Sir Governor. My father is Dilly Olesi."
Wen Jishan nodded and said lightly, "Then go and register. I will not harm you."
The girl wanted to get closer to him, but when she saw his cold expression, she gave up in the end. She softly thanked him and went back to the team.
"Hey, I'm not the first to register?"
At the front of the team, a blue-haired boy said.
After they successfully registered, they would be able to see the real-time ranking of the mercenaries on their communication devices.
Originally, there was only one overall ranking, but now there was an Elementalist ranking and a Normal Mercenary ranking.
On the Elementalist ranking, there were already two names.
One was the blue-haired boy who had just spoken, and the other … was Su Lin.
Moreover, his points had reached more than 400, and he was ranked first.
"It's Su Lin! He just came a few days early, and he got so many points? "
They were all F-rank mercenaries now, so they could only accept F-rank missions. Of course, if there were special circumstances, they could apply for an evaluation from the Mercenary Association, but this kind of situation rarely happened.
As for F-rank missions, the points were only from 1 to 10 points. In other words, Su Lin had completed at least 40 F-rank missions?
The students raised their doubts to the staff member.
The staff member was a robot, also provided by the Star Alliance, so its intelligence was not low.
After receiving complaints from the students, the points were announced.
"Elementalist Su Lin, serial number Y01, has provided a total of 456 kilograms of Dark Grain to Mercenary Town. According to Wen Jishan's request, 1 kilogram of Dark Grain is converted to 1 point."
"Therefore, Sir Su Lin has a total of 456 points."
"That's all."
The students suddenly stopped talking.
Although most of them were not diligent, they could still feel the huge amount, so they still approved of the calculation of points.
After all, 400 kilograms of Dark Grain could be eaten for a long time!
"Hey, then I'll hurry and do the missions. It's so uncomfortable to see 0 points! Why do we have to be on the list even if we don't have any points? "
The blue-haired boy mumbled.
"Yes, hurry up and register us. We have to fight for time and catch up to Su Lin as soon as possible!"
"That's right, Su Lin is too cunning! He came a few days earlier, so this is considered sneaking ahead. It doesn't mean he's better than us. "
"That's right, that's right, hurry up and register me! I want to be on the list too. "
They were a group of teenage boys and girls, and they had been nurtured in the Warrior Department for so many years. Competitiveness was already in their nature. Seeing that Su Lin was so far ahead, they immediately shouted and wanted to catch up.
Wen Jishan nodded with relief.
He casually issued a series of missions on the mercenary mission panel through the communication device.
This new mercenary system was very convenient.
In the past, mercenaries had to come to the headquarters to register before they could receive missions. Now, those with communication devices could directly receive missions on the mercenary mission panel.
At the same time, non-mercenaries could also issue missions.
It was just that it had not been widely promoted. After all, not everyone had a communication device.
As for the Elementalists, basically everyone had a communication device, so there was no need to worry about this.
At this stage, it was being promoted among the Elementalists.
In the future, it would gradually spread to the nobles and the frontline army. This way, the variety and number of missions could be expanded, and the Mercenary Association would take a certain commission as management fee.
As long as it was done well, it would be a stable source of income!
This was the concept provided by Little Majesty, but it had to be said that it was very practical.
Wen Jishan had thought about it before, but in the past, the scope of business that ordinary mercenaries could engage in was too narrow. Now, with the addition of Elementalists, this was possible.
In the end, it was the idea of letting Elementalists become mercenaries that was brilliant.
After Wen Jishan issued a few long-term F-level missions, his communication device suddenly rang. Knowing that it was from Little Majesty, he quickly opened it to take a look.
The first message was an audio file.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and then he saw the text message behind it.
"In addition to the rest time, play this song on a loop in Mercenary Town so that everyone can hear it and post it on the Internet to become the most popular song in the future?"
Wen Jishan blinked. What kind of strange request was this?
He was stunned for a moment, and after replying mechanically, he finally clicked to download the audio file and chose to play it.
The melodious prelude slowly sounded, followed by the clear and gentle voice of a young man. It was gentle with a cute liveliness, and the whole song was full of vitality.
Wen Jishan listened to the song and could not help but be affected by it. He felt as if there was a kind of motivation in his body.
Song, it was indeed a good song!
But … why was the voice of the singer so familiar?
He thought for a moment, but could not remember where he had heard it before. He did not think about it anymore and asked, "Your Majesty, what is the name of this song?"
"'Germinal'."
After getting an accurate answer, Wen Jishan pondered the name of the song and listened to it as he walked to the mayor's office hall.
Soon, in the quiet Mercenary Town, every corner of the broadcast sounded.
The townsfolk originally thought that the mayor had something important to announce, but they only heard a beautiful song.
The song sounded in every corner of the town, as if something was quietly happening …
Dean Justin, who was mechanically synthesizing bricks, suddenly stopped.
He listened to the somewhat familiar voice of the young man, and his heart trembled. In this town, he was undoubtedly the most powerful person.
Although he had been stuck at two-star for many years and could not break through, this old dean had more accumulation than anyone else.
He changed the perspective of his mind power and quickly noticed that the sound elements in the air had become abnormally active.
Under the influence of the song, the sound elements were trembling in a certain rhythm.
This tremor was extremely subtle, and if not for a powerhouse like him, it might be difficult to detect it.
Dean Justin sensed it carefully. In the end, he was shocked to find that the shock of the sound elements was affecting his body.
It was very, very subtle, almost negligible.
And the range of the influence seemed to be … his attraction to the earth elements?
He looked around at his colleagues who had stopped to listen for a while and continued with their work. He hesitated for a moment and finally suppressed the shock in his heart.
At present, in the entire Empire, the only sound elementalist was … His Majesty. And this voice was indeed familiar to him, very much like the voice of Little Majesty.
Dean Justin felt both guilty and deeply fearful of this Little Majesty.
In just a few days, he had seen the changes in Mercenary Town.
Niya's arrival was also a wake-up call for him. That girl had probably been tricked by Little Majesty. Although she did not say a word, she still could not escape his eyes.
However, Dean Justin was not in the mood to care. He could not even protect himself, how could he have the energy to care about others?
He only wanted to quickly complete the reconstruction plan and then return to the academy to deal with the freshly tested Spirit Elementalists. He also wanted to research new testing methods to see if they could be improved.
As for the new thing that Little Majesty had come up with … Perhaps it could be broadcasted in the academy?
Although the effect of increasing elemental affinity was very subtle, it would accumulate over time and there would be some benefits.
Dean Justin got to work again, and the speed of synthesizing bricks was much faster.
Needless to say, after using magic to synthesize bricks day and night, he felt that his control of the elements was much better.
At the same time, the television stations all over the Empire, including the other four main cities, received orders from their superiors to broadcast a folk song in between commercials —
"Germinal."
Those who liked it liked it very much, and those who did not like it could not do anything about it. This was because this song could be heard almost everywhere, and it was difficult not to listen to it.
After Xu Sili gave Wen Jishan the order, he did not care about this anymore.
He sang the live version of "Germinal" for Xiao Wu several times. With the help of magic, this live version of "Germinal" was incomparable to the recorded version.
After singing it five times, he successfully increased the probability of Xiao Wu's artificial consciousness to 100%.
After the last song, the little robot sitting on the coffee table drooped its head and remained motionless.
Xu Sili did not dare to touch it, and only cast the Insight Spell on it.
[Navigation AI 58462 (Xiao Wu)]
Affiliation: K2576 Game Cabin
Origin: Flanda Interstellar Federation
Special Status: Artificial consciousness is about to be born (Hibernating)
It actually needs to hibernate.
Xu Sili shook his head. He did not have so much time to accompany it.
He opened the backend of the Star Melody Network and glanced at the data as usual. It was still steadily increasing.
This potential weekly chart was still very impressive, but unfortunately, in two days, his album would be up. He hoped that he could drive more profits while he was on the chart.
With this thought in mind, Xu Sili manually transferred 15,000 yuan to his Star Melody Network account.
Then he got up and entered the Star Melody Network community.
This time, there was no Xiao Wu following him. Although he was not used to it, he did not take it to heart.
The place where he came out was still in front of the Mecha Shop from last time.
Xu Sili opened the map, selected the Gourmet Street, and directly teleported there. Then he strolled around the streets.
This time, he finally had time to properly observe this Star Melody Network community.
The streets were bustling with people coming and going. Some people had activated protective shields, and their faces were blurred, while others did not care.
In other words, many of them could not be called people.
Lizards, octopuses, roosters … There were creatures of all shapes and sizes, and some looked like aliens, which were very challenging to the aesthetic.
Xu Sili also bought a mask to wear.
He had no choice. A protective shield that could hide his face was too expensive. He could not afford it for the time being, so he could only buy a mask to wear.
This fox mask had no special function. It was just an appearance. There was no feeling after wearing it.
After strolling through the entire Gourmet Street and tasting every shop, Xu Sili's account balance was only left with 1102 Universe Credits.
Xu Sili did not expect to spend more than 10,000 Universe Credits on food alone.
However, he had a certain understanding of the food industry in Region E. Of course, there were other shops that were not opened in the Gourmet Street, but that was not his goal.
After careful consideration, Xu Sili felt that the plan to develop food and make money on the Star Melody Network should be feasible.
The reason why he did not want to do it in reality was that he did not lack Exxon Credits at the moment.
He had to distinguish the priorities before doing things. Increasing his strength and public support rate were already progressing step by step. As for the 10 million Universe Credits, which was the biggest headache at the moment, there was not much progress yet.
It was a bit too risky to put all his eggs on Su Lin. As for the album, the amount that could be provided was still too small.
Therefore, it was necessary for him to fiddle with other baskets.
After inspecting the entire Gourmet Street, Xu Sili found that in the Star Melody Network community, at least in Region E, there was no …
Milk tea.
Of course, there was still the traditional kind of stocking milk tea, but both the taste and taste were very ordinary.
It could not be compared to what he was used to drinking in reality.
Xu Sili did not know if the people in the game group were not very interested in the food system, or if they would continue to develop it in the future. Or … this was a gameplay method left for the players.
He decided to try it on the Star Melody Network first.
After all, milk tea was easier to make than other delicacies, and Xu Sili had experienced how popular it was in reality.
However, he did not have enough funds at the moment to open a shop in the Star Melody Network community, let alone the popular Gourmet Street.
But it did not matter. He could open a shop in the System Shop.
Just like the stocking milk tea he ordered last time, he could buy any delicacy in the Star Melody Network community in the System Shop, and it was super fast.
Because in essence, these were all made up of data.
The biggest problem was probably that it was impossible to have a signboard like a physical shop. In the System Shop, it was easy to be drowned in a pile of peers.
However, these problems were not for Xu Sili to consider at the moment. He had to make a cup of milk tea that tasted decent on the Star Melody Network first.
The virtual raw materials in the Star Melody Network community were very cheap. Xu Sili bought a bunch of them and only spent less than 50 Universe Credits.
However, these things were not convenient to carry around, so he chose to send them all to the virtual room.
After that, he strolled around the Star Melody Network community for a while. It was not until half an hour was up that he returned to the virtual room.
The corner of the originally small room was already filled with the raw materials he had just bought. There was milk, tea leaves, sugar, red beans, flour, cassava powder, grapes … and a series of materials he could think of.
Cassava powder was used to make pearls.
Thanks to his mother, she liked to drink sugar water and often asked the chef at home to make it. He occasionally heard that taro pearls were made with cassava powder.
Otherwise, he would really be at a loss.
And now, in fact, he was also at a loss because he did not know the ratio of water to powder. He could only experiment slowly.
Fortunately, he was the only one in the virtual room. No one could come in, so naturally, no one could see his flustered appearance.
Until …
"Brother, what are you doing? Is there anything you need Xiao Wu to help? "
A cute and cute voice sounded. Xu Sili turned his head and saw that the little robot had woken up at some point and was blinking a pair of robot eyes at him.
Xu Sili looked at the messy table in front of him.
"…"
These sweet potato powder were not obedient and spilled everywhere. It had nothing to do with his operation at all.
Xu Sili calmly called up the cleaning function and cleaned the stains on his body in a second —
In the virtual room, it was so convenient.
"Hmm, Xiao Wu, you're awake?" He looked at the little robot and asked.
"Xiao Wu is awake, Brother."
The little robot blinked and said seriously.
"Very good." Xu Sili nodded. "How do you feel now?"
He was a little curious. What would the consciousness of an artificial intelligence be like?
"I feel … very good."
The little robot said confusedly.
Xu Sili hesitated and used the Insight Technique on it again.
[Navigation AI 58462 (Xiao Wu)]
Race: Artificial Intelligence
Level: Level 0
Status: Consciousness has just been born, full of curiosity about everything (learning ability + 100%)
Affiliation: K2576 game cabin
Origin: Flanda Interstellar Federation
Xu Sili was stunned.
Lv0？ In other words, this little guy could still level up?
This was interesting.
He just did not know how it leveled up …
Looking at the raw materials in front of him, Xu Sili thought for a while and said, "Xiao Wu, help me mix this tapioca powder with brown sugar water according to the ratio, then knead it into a ball and boil it in hot water."
"Okay, Brother."
The little robot nodded and then operated on the virtual raw materials.
The computing function of the Star Network was very powerful. Some things that could not be done in reality could be done on the Star Network, not to mention simple food production.
Seeing the little robot busy, Xu Sili nodded in satisfaction and was ready to study the ratio of milk and tea.
"Brother, leave this to Xiao Wu too."
He had just started when the little boy's voice sounded again.
Xu Sili looked in the direction of the voice and found that two little robots had appeared in the virtual room at this time.
He blinked and thought for a while and felt that it was reasonable.
Although it was only level 0, this virtual game cabin was originally Xiao Wu's territory. Here, it should be regarded as the master.
It was not strange for it to be able to clone itself.
Next, Xu Sili simply gave all the operations to Xiao Wu to do, and he was responsible for recalling the production method. It was simply too easy.
However, Xiao Wu's current computing ability was still limited and could not complete all of Xu Sili's sudden whims in a very short time.
Xu Sili was not in a hurry. After all the instructions were given, he exited the game cabin.
When he left the dark room, he found that unknowingly, the sky outside was already bright.
He went out to wash up and eat, then chatted with Xiao Qiong and Little Ash. After sending them off, Xu Sili returned to the bedroom again.
He was not going to go out today.
Now that the Mercenary Town and the Elementalist College were on the right track, he could be free to do other things.
He had to come up with the formula as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would not have much time left …
For three consecutive days, Xu Sili buried himself in the game cabin.
With Xiao Wu's help, he had figured out the best ratio for the pearl milk tea. It was worth mentioning that after he confirmed the ratio, the Star Web gave him a reward.
Although it was only 1,000 Universe Credits, with the recognition and protection of the Star Web, if anyone used the same formula in the future, they would have to pay Xu Sili a patent fee.
The protection of intellectual property rights in the virtual world was very efficient and simple. This was also one of the ways to generate revenue for the Star Web.
However, one type of pearl milk tea was not enough. He had to make at least a few types, such as succulent grapes, milk jelly, fruit tea, etc. The variety of milk tea in reality was unimaginable.
He also had to think about the design of the packaging and the brand logo.
On this day, Xu Sili and the two little ones finished their breakfast and watched them leave with Ah Huang. He returned to the bedroom again and went straight to the dark room.
The door on the wall slowly opened.
However, when he stepped in, he felt that he bumped into something.
Xu Sili was a little confused. He subconsciously raised his head and looked into a pair of familiar gray-blue eyes.
The vigilance that had just arisen in his heart suddenly disappeared.
He relaxed and muttered with a frown, "Si Sheng, what are you doing here?"
He glared at the man and wanted to step back, but the man suddenly reached out and wrapped his strong arm around his waist.
In his stupefied expression, Xu Sili only felt that the world was spinning. When he came back to his senses, he was already —
Lying on the bed?
Looking at the bed curtain above his head, Xu Sili was a little confused.
He had been focused on the milk tea shop for the past few days and did not sleep much. At this moment, his thoughts were a lot slower.
A shadow blocked the light in front of his eyes. He saw a man in a snow-white military uniform standing by the bed, looking down at him with a trace of anger in his eyes.
Xu Sili's heart skipped a beat and a thought flashed through his mind.
This guy finally couldn't help but rebel?
Is he going to kill me again?
"Si Sheng, you …"
He struggled to sit up, but was pressed back down by a hand and fell onto the soft bed.
Then, the man pressed one knee on the mattress and bent over.
He thought that the violent act did not happen —
Si Sheng pressed his hand on the top of his head and gently stroked it.
"Your Majesty, you need to rest."
These words of concern rang gently in Xu Sili's ears, causing his tense muscles to relax.
But … rest?
There were still more than ten days until the day to pay the alliance fee. Time was tight, how could he rest?
"Stop fooling around."
Xu Sili tried to push him, but did not manage to. Then … he felt his vision turn black as something slightly cold covered his eyes —
It was Si Sheng's palm.
His palm was slightly cold, but its temperature was slowly rising. His rough palm was slightly prickly, but it gave him an inexplicable sense of security.
"Si Sheng, what are you doing …"
Xu Sili said weakly.
"I told you that you need to rest."
Si Sheng leaned close to his ear and greedily inhaled his breath. His voice was low and gentle, with a seductive sexiness.
Xu Sili subconsciously licked his lips, and his voice became slightly hoarse.
"I can also rest in the gaming cabin …"
He still wanted to struggle.
"You are very tired."
It was an affirmative sentence, and it sounded very certain.
Xu Sili sighed.
He did not know if it was because his eyes were covered, or because the atmosphere at the moment was too reassuring, but he did feel a little sleepy.
He did not resist.
In a daze, the young man reached out and hugged the man's waist. He said softly, "Then I will sleep for half an hour … remember to wake me up after half an hour …"
His voice became softer and softer until it finally became muffled and quiet.
When Si Sheng noticed that the young man's breathing had stabilized, he slowly let go of his hand that was covering his eyes.
The sun shone in through the open curtains and sprinkled on the young man's face. His light-colored eyelashes were curly and almost transparent under the light. His often furrowed brows were now smoothed out.
Looking at his peaceful sleeping face, Si Sheng finally could not help but feel his heart throbbing. He lowered his head slightly and planted a kiss on the young man's forehead …
