According to Snow Roland's memories, Xu Sili knew that there was only one gaming pod on Eshe Star that could connect to the Star Web.
Therefore, when he saw the name "Guardian of Roland", he immediately thought of —
Was he an Elementalist or a descendant of an Elementalist from the Roland Empire?
Otherwise, why would he have such a name?
Xu Sili thought about it and accepted the friend request.
It was just an online friend anyway.
Even if they didn't agree, he could delete the friend request. It wouldn't be a loss for him. If he could make a friend from another planet, it would definitely be beneficial!
After accepting the friend request, a new interface popped up. It was a friend list. There was only the person in his friend list.
It was lonely and seemed a little lonely.
Xu Sili looked at the person's profile picture. It was the system's default profile picture of a male. There was nothing special about it.
He didn't think too much about it and sent the message directly.
On the other side of the gaming pod.
Si Sheng looked at the friend list interface in front of him. He frowned and looked a little embarrassed.
A hero can't solve a problem with money.
Without money, he didn't even have the qualifications to enter the Star Web community, let alone help the god solve the problem …
Suddenly, the friend list shook — the friend request he just sent had been accepted!
In the empty friend list, the profile picture of a young man wearing a fox mask appeared.
Then, the profile picture of the other party vibrated.
Si Sheng's heart skipped a beat and he quickly opened the message.
[His Majesty of Roland]: You are?
Si Sheng was a little nervous.
Even when facing the most ferocious interstellar beasts, he could remain calm and collected. However, at this moment, his hands were slightly trembling.
He took a deep breath and replied the message.
[Guardian of Roland]: Your Majesty, it's me.
Xu Sili blinked.
He carefully recalled Snow Roland's memories and confirmed that he didn't know anyone on the Star Web. He could only guess that this person might be an acquaintance of the emperor.
After all, the emperor was also called His Majesty of Roland.
It couldn't be a fan of his songs, right? He didn't know any fans that well.
Or could it be … a liar?
Xu Sili suddenly became a little vigilant.
There were too many scams on the Internet. Even in the future Star Web, he didn't believe that it would be completely eradicated.
At this time, he glanced at the duration of his stay and suddenly had a flash of inspiration as he came up with an idea.
Si Sheng clenched his fists when he saw that the message he sent was "read".
Lord God … What would he say?
While he was thinking, a new message appeared in the chat box.
[His Majesty of Roland].
[His Majesty of Roland]: How long can you stay in the Star Web community?
Si Sheng was stunned for a moment but quickly reacted. He raised his hand again and touched the entrance of the Star Web community.
[You are entering a galactic community and need to pay 10 Universe Credits. Do you want to continue?]
[Note: Your mental strength has reached SSS +. You can stay in any major community on the Star Network without restriction. However, due to the low overall strength ranking of your country, you will need to apply to join the Freedom Alliance to enter regions above S-rank. You can only enter after you have obtained the qualifications.]
Would you like to apply to enter the Liberal League?
Si Sheng ignored the application prompt and replied to Xu Sili.
[Guardian of Roland]: No restrictions.
Xu Sili's eyes lit up. No restrictions!
Although he was curious about the level of his spiritual power, this involved privacy, so he tactfully didn't ask. Instead …
[His Majesty of Roland]: Do you have time?
[Guardian of Roland]: Yes.
[His Majesty of Roland]: Are you interested in helping me? I'll pay you 20 Universe Credits per hour.
Xu Sili didn't know the hourly wage of a part-time job on the Star Web. Although he felt that this price was a little low, he still shamelessly typed it.
If it didn't work, the other party would naturally say it.
He had just sent out a hundred cups in ten minutes and sold 18 cups. One cup was one dollar, and the cost of one cup was 0.1 Universe Credits.
At this rate, he would still have some money left from the 20 Universe Credits per hour.
As for making money by promoting?
Xu Sili didn't think so. He was now trying to make a loss and build up his reputation as soon as possible.
He believed that Milk Tea would definitely succeed.
In reality, Milk Tea only had the appearance and quality after many years of development. But now, he directly absorbed the essence and had Xiao Wu to help him adjust.
He was confident that he wouldn't fail, but whether he could achieve a profit of at least a few million in ten days?
To be honest, it was very difficult.
Xu Sili was also a Buddhist. If he couldn't pay the alliance fee, then he would just go to war with the Bevat Empire.
As long as he could hold on until the players arrived, with the addition of the Undead Army, he believed that the Roland Empire wouldn't lose.
But this was the worst case scenario.
Now, he had to do his best. If it still didn't work, at least he would have tried and wouldn't regret it.
Just as he was thinking, the other party's profile picture jumped again.
[Guardian of Roland]: Okay, one hour in advance.
Xu Sili raised his eyebrows.
This guy … isn't really a scammer, right?
But after thinking about it, it was only 20 Universe Credits. His album was now on the monthly list. Although it was ranked at the bottom, it brought him a good profit.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have the money to waste on the milk tea shop.
[His Majesty of Roland]: Okay, find me at the Gourmet Street in District E.
Looking at Xu Sili's message, Si Sheng was slightly relieved.
Actually …
He didn't want to accept the money, but without the Universe Credits, he couldn't even enter the Star Web community. At least this way, he didn't have to endure the shame.
Looking at the 20 Universe Credits that had been transferred to his account, and then looking at the Fox Mask avatar, Si Sheng thought about it and opened the interface.
He browsed through the System Shop and finally exchanged one Universe Credit for a white fox mask.
After putting it on, he stepped into the light door of the Star Web community, clicked on the option that popped up, and then chose District E.
As the white light dissipated, he was randomly teleported to the Gourmet Street.
Among the people coming and going, a figure suddenly appeared, wearing the initial casual clothes distributed by the Star Web system, looking around in the crowd.
He was about 178cm tall, not a crane in a flock of chickens, but his body proportions were good, and his pair of long legs were excellent.
His slender waist and back exuded a youthful and immature aura, but the exposed muscles of his arms were full of strength.
After choosing a direction, Si Sheng lifted his feet and walked forward quickly, but after walking for a while, he suddenly stopped and stared blankly at the figure not far away.
The silver-haired boy had his back to him, but he recognized his back at a glance.
He saw that there was a floating table beside him, on which there were cups of exquisitely shaped milk tea, and the words "free to try" were written on the cloth.
At this time, the boy picked up a cup of milk tea, turned sideways, and handed it to a girl.
The Red Fox mask looked like it was smiling.
Si Sheng looked at this scene and couldn't help but purse his lips.
When the boy picked up another cup and handed it to another girl, Si Sheng lifted his feet and walked over.
"Mr. Fox, your milk tea is really delicious! The taste is so much better than the stocking milk tea, and it's so cheap! "
A stocking milk tea cost 5 universe dollars, and Xu Sili's milk tea was only sold for 1. It could be said that it was really cheap.
But in fact … his cost was only 0.1 universe dollars!
It had to be said that virtual products, especially food, were really profitable.
Xu Sili was wearing the Red Fox mask, revealing only a pair of light purple eyes.
At this time, he curved his eyes and said:
"Fox products are definitely the best! But now is the discount period, I suggest you buy a few more cups, or else the price might increase in the future. "
That's right, his milk tea shop was called Fox's Milk Tea.
Both the signboard and logo were designed by him.
In the future, he might come up with other products and create a chain brand. Of course, all of this would take time.
Hearing Red Fox's words, the girl smiled and said: "No problem, I think it's worth it even if it's ten times more expensive!"
"Not only is it delicious, but it's also so beautiful!"
"I just took a picture and posted it on the Star Web, and many people are asking me. Maybe in a while, your shop's business will increase. Let's see how you're going to thank me next time."
Xu Sili also gave her face. He took another cup of milk tea and said: "There's no need for another time, I'll treat you to it now."
"You were drinking milk green before, now try succulent grapes? This is also our shop's signature. "
The girl's eyes suddenly became starry, "Wow, you even remember what I drank before!"
Xu Sili wanted to say something, but suddenly a hand reached out from the side and grabbed his wrist.
The cool temperature from the skin made Xu Sili shiver.
He blinked and turned his head to look.
The person who came had short blonde hair, and the white fox mask on his face only covered the upper half of his face, revealing his cold white delicate skin and red sexy thin lips.
Xu Sili was slightly stunned.
So familiar …
Where have I seen him before?
Especially that pair of grayish-blue eyes, it was impossible for him to forget.
Si Sheng! It's him?
But when he compared the person's figure, Xu Sili hesitated.
If it was Si Sheng, how could he be as tall as him?
That's right, although he had grown taller with the growth of his physique, the data on the Star Web had not been updated, and he was still 1.78 meters tall.
But this guy who suddenly appeared in front of him …
He glanced at his slender waist and back. Although he was still full of strength, his shoulders were not as wide as Si Sheng's. He lacked a bit of manliness, but he was full of youthfulness.
Xu Sili felt that this guy wearing the white fox mask was definitely not older than 18 years old.
He did not speak for a while, and then he saw the white fox mask reveal his ID —
The Guardian of Roland.
Xu Sili blinked, and then he couldn't help but realize: "So it's you."
Si Sheng stared at the silver-haired boy, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether his surprise was fake or not.
He hesitated for a moment, then said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Xu Sili sized him up and nodded: "Not bad, you're wearing a fox mask too. Not bad, not bad."
He glanced at the time.
There was still one minute left.
Xu Sili hurriedly seized the time: "I won't waste any more time. Your task for this hour is to give out free milk tea."
"Give out at least … 500 cups in an hour."
"If you exceed the quota, I'll give you more money."
"Your Majesty, why do you want to do this?" Si Sheng listened and frowned in confusion.
For a moment, Xu Sili felt that he was facing Si Sheng. But, not to mention his physical appearance, Si Sheng did not have a gaming pod.
How could he be on the Star Web? And he even knew his ID?
Xu Sili shook his head inwardly: "Of course it's a business strategy!"
"I don't care why you added me as a friend. Do it well, and you'll benefit in the future."
He casually drew a pie, but before he could finish, time was up. He only had time to wave goodbye to him before he was forced to go offline.
After logging out of the Star Web community, he had to rest for half an hour before he could go online again.
Xu Sili did not stay in the virtual room. Instead, he logged out of the gaming pod and sent a message to Si Sheng.
This was the first time he had sent a message to Si Sheng.
In the Star Web community.
Si Sheng watched as the young man disappeared. Then, he looked at the floating table beside him and frowned.
"Xiao Wu, what are these?" he asked.
"They're milk tea made by my brother," Xiao Wu's voice sounded, then suddenly went silent.
Si Sheng looked at the cups of milk tea: "Did His Majesty make all of these?"
This time, Xiao Wu resisted the urge to answer him.
However, Si Sheng had already guessed it.
So, His Majesty had been busy with this for the past few days? This was the honorable His Majesty …
Si Sheng clenched his fists.
So, this was the reason why His Majesty did not want to tell him? His heart was full of heartache and helplessness, but he could understand His Majesty's feelings.
If this was His Majesty's wish, then he would faithfully carry it out.
With a cold expression, he began to move around the crowd.
Suddenly, Xiao Wu's voice sounded again: "My brother sent you a message. Do you want to see it?"
Si Sheng glanced at his friends list.
The profile picture of the Red Fox Mask had dimmed, indicating that the other party was not online …
Si Sheng frowned slightly and suddenly realized something.
He whispered: "Apart from the Star Web, can you control the local network of Ai Xue Xing?"
"No, no."
Xiao Wu felt a little guilty when he was suddenly exposed. "I just tried to connect. I didn't control it."
Si Sheng raised his eyebrows and ignored him: "What did His Majesty say?"
The interface of the communication device suddenly appeared.
[His Majesty]: Si Sheng, what are you doing now?
Si Sheng immediately typed a reply.
On the other side, Xu Sili waited for a while. Suddenly, he felt his communication device vibrate. Si Sheng replied to him.
"I'm completing His Majesty's mission."
He looked at this line of words and couldn't help but blink.
'His mission?'
Xu Sili recalled that he had just asked Si Sheng to deal with the military.
'Was I really being paranoid?'
Xu Sili tilted his head and thought about it. He couldn't figure it out, so he ignored it and changed his clothes before leaving.
He hadn't gone out for more than three days!
He had been working on the milk tea shop in the virtual world. Now that it was finally on the right track, he could finally relax a little.
Now, he was preparing to go to the mercenary town to take a look.
More than half of the deadline that he had set for Dean Justin had passed. It was almost time.
During the three days of seclusion to make milk tea, he had successfully leveled up to lvl 11. He was just a little bit away from lvl 12.
Hmm, Dean Justin and the rest were quite efficient in building the town!
In addition to the reconstruction, Xu Sili also wanted to see how the apprentices were doing.
Was it his whimsical idea to let them become mercenaries, or was it really a fantastic idea? Now, he could more or less figure it out.
However, when he reached the open space in the garden, Xu Sili suddenly remembered that Si Sheng wasn't around!
He couldn't sit on the shadow leopard anymore.
Looking at the empty courtyard, he felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
That was why it was said that habit was a scary thing.
Xu Sili gathered his thoughts and sent a message to Li Zheyu, asking him to arrange a flying shuttle. Then, he returned to the palace to disguise himself.
Without Si Sheng's [Passerby's Halo], it was very dangerous for him to go out like this. He could be recognized at any time.
Therefore, he still had to disguise himself. Fortunately, he was already used to it. He just had to pick it up again.
He suddenly missed Si Sheng.
With him around, a lot of things were more convenient.
However, he also knew that the two of them couldn't be together like conjoined twins. Si Sheng had his own things to do.
Xu Sili boarded the flying shuttle again. Soon, he stopped thinking about Si Sheng. He went to the square's magic array and cast an observation spell on it.
The countdown was shortening.
This made him feel a little more relieved.
After paying the alliance fee, the game would start a closed beta in a few days. At that time, he would be able to see his second brother …
If he was lucky, he might be able to see his eldest brother.
However, his eldest brother was more mature. He would probably let his second brother explore first.
Xu Sili felt a little excited when he thought that he would be able to see his family soon.
As for whether he should make preparations for the closed beta?
He hadn't thought about it yet.
He wasn't worried about whether the arrival of the players would cause a commotion.
This was something that the game developers had planned for a long time ago.
For example, the legend of the Hero.
He had asked a lot of people. Basically, even a three-year-old child knew about this. It was obviously a foreshadowing for the players.
Xu Sili looked at the bustling inner city again. He had to admit that after staying in the galactic community for a long time, he could feel that Roland's architecture was backward when he looked at it again.
Of course, the unique cultural style was not something that the galactic community could compare to.
If he had to choose, Xu Sili would still choose the Roland Empire.
Probably because …
He had developed a sense of belonging to this place.
Although it was very little, it was like a seed that started to take root and sprout. Maybe one day it would grow into a big tree, or maybe it would wither and die.
Xu Sili didn't know what the future would be like, but he was still full of expectations.
Looking at the scenery of the inner city, he couldn't help but start to think. What could be improved?
There were so many aristocrats in the inner city. There was no reason not to take advantage of them.
The flying shuttle carried him and flew over the inner city.
When he was about to reach the mercenary town, Xu Sili inadvertently glanced at the town panel and couldn't help but be stunned.
[Mercenary Town lvl 1]
Financial Expenditure: 257684 Exhe Dollars
Financial Income: 12500000 Exhe Dollars
New Migrant Population: 128
Special State Bonus: Residents' Hunger Rate 15% (Construction Speed -15%)
Damn!
He hadn't seen it for a few days, how did the mercenary town suddenly generate income? And …
Xu Sili carefully counted again and found that he wasn't wrong. It was indeed more than ten million! Compared to that, the financial expenditure of more than two hundred thousand was nothing at all.
So what did Wen Jishan do? Did he rob?
More than ten million in three days? Was it so easy to earn money? Xu Sili was stunned for a while before he suddenly realized something.
Could it be … Niya?
He just slightly hinted that he could arrange for someone to treat Niya. Did Wen Jishan make a big fuss about this?
The biggest change in the past few days seemed to be that Niya and the Elementalist apprentices went to the mercenary town.
Besides these two things, Xu Sili couldn't think of how Wen Jishan could generate income.
As expected of a special talent, he sighed again.
Xu Sili even thought that he should let Wen Jishan sell milk tea on Star Web.
Milk tea could be considered a dessert. If he sold it, he would get a 150% increase in income!
But very soon, he remembered something.
Wen Jishan was a normal person. Even if he could go on Star Web, he could only go to Area F. I wonder if he could sell things in Area E?
I'll think about it later.
Xu Sili thought and glanced at the mercenary town's upgrade interface.
[Mercenary Town lvl 1]
Requirements to upgrade to lvl 2:
Main City Level: lvl 2/lvl 2
Population: 52668/10000
Special Buildings: Council Hall (1/1), Academy (0/1), Guard Barracks (1/1), Shop (9/5), Farmland (5/10), Processing Factory (3/5) …
Residents' Hunger Rate: 85%/100%
Xu Sili pondered and sent a message to Wen Jishan to ask about the amount of farmland in the mercenary town.
This was because when he went to see Su Lin farming that day, he saw that the farmland was definitely more than five mu.
Soon, he received the data.
Twenty mu.
In other words, the mercenary town needed to reclaim another twenty mu of land to meet the requirements to upgrade to level 2.
There were still processing factories, forestry farms, and so on, but they didn't meet the requirements.
Xu Sili thought for a while and gave Wen Jishan another order.
Apart from the residential housing, the residential buildings should also be put on the agenda.
After all, Wen Jishan had just received a large amount of income, so he wasn't afraid of not having enough money.
Then, he didn't care about Wen Jishan's headache. He put on his hat, tucked away his silver hair, and got off the flying shuttle.
The number of tents in front of the town had decreased by more than half.
As more and more houses were built, many of the wounded who had recovered were arranged to live in them.
On the other hand, the empty space where the students lived was still intact.
Xu Sili nodded in satisfaction. Under the nervous guard of Li Zheyu, he went straight to the headquarters of the Mercenary Association to find out more about the apprentices.
Of course, there was also Su Lin's Snow Valley. With the addition of a new wood element student, it should be more efficient, right?
He entered the mercenary town in high spirits.
On the other side, in the Star Web Community Area E.
Si Sheng walked around the food street.
He was conscientiously distributing milk tea, but the results weren't as good as he expected.
Maybe it was because his aura was too strong. Even though he was also wearing a mask, he didn't make people want to get close to him like Xu Sili did.
Of course, there were still many young boys and girls who secretly took pictures of him, but they stayed far away and didn't dare to approach him.
After twenty minutes, Si Sheng only managed to make a few dozen cups. He couldn't compare to Xu Sili's efficiency at all.
Si Sheng felt a rare sense of anxiety.
An hour was almost up. If he couldn't complete the mission …
Thinking that Lord God might be disappointed in him, Si Sheng clenched his fists tightly. He emitted the aura of a powerful person, and people didn't dare to approach him.
What should I do?
Under the white fox mask, Si Sheng's expression became slightly distorted.
At this moment …
"Bang bang bang — Bang bang bang —"
The sound of heavy footsteps approached quickly.
Si Sheng looked back and saw a 30-meter-tall mecha running towards him.
The people around him quickly ran away. Someone reminded him —
"Hey, Mr. White Fox, run! That's the road killer, Da Meng Meow! "
"Although he's a newbie who just learned how to pilot a mecha, he's rich. He's piloting a newly developed mecha. Your protective shield won't be able to stop him!"
"Yes! Don't let him step on you. The time you can stay will be shortened! "
Although being stepped on would at most shorten the time by ten minutes, most people in Area E could only stay for half an hour.
Losing a third of their time was a huge loss no matter how he thought about it.
Si Sheng didn't quite understand, but he didn't move when he saw Big Cute Cat's mecha running towards him.
At this moment, a small robot suddenly appeared on his shoulder. Its mouth opened and closed, but no one knew what it was saying.
He, who was originally calm, narrowed his eyes slightly.
When the heavy mecha's foot stepped on him, Si Sheng looked up. His grayish-blue eyes suddenly turned dark gold.
Many people around him looked at him in disbelief. Because —
Big Cute Cat's foot stopped!
In other words, it didn't step on the ground. It stopped in mid-air, as if it had stepped on air.
Because of this sudden change, the huge mecha lost its balance and suddenly fell forward.
"Boom —"
A loud sound was heard, and the mecha clumsily fell to the ground.
The houses turned into shadows. Although buildings didn't have a time limit, they had durability.
Once the durability was depleted, they would have to pay rent!
This was the food street. Most of the buildings were shops.
The owners of the shops ran out. Some had ugly expressions, while others scolded Big Cute Cat.
Big Cute Cat, who had always relied on the mecha's performance to win, had fallen this time.
The young man in the cockpit looked at the control panel in a daze after he was disoriented.
"Xiao Qi, what happened just now?"
The AI's electronic voice sounded. "Calculating and analyzing, please wait a moment …"
"Boom —"
Suddenly, a loud sound was heard again.
"Warning! Warning! Mecha's leg received an unknown attack, damage 40% … 60% … 100%! "
"Mecha's leg lost control, unable to move!"
"Trying to activate protective shield …"
"Protective shield activation failed!"
"Warning! Warning! Mecha's back received an unknown attack, damage 70%! "
"Warning! Warning! Mecha was flipped over by an unknown creature, the enemy is approaching the cockpit. Danger! Danger! "
"Please log off as soon as possible! Please log off as soon as possible! "
The AI's electronic voice sounded frantically, and the alarm in the cockpit roared.
Big Cute Cat was confused, very confused.
A series of loud booms rang out, causing his ears to ring. As the mech shook, he felt dizzy.
Then, under his confused gaze, the outer shell of the cockpit shattered.
In this violent impact, a fist appeared in front of him, quickly approaching, and finally stopping less than a centimeter away from him.
Big Cute Cat stared at the fist, his heart beating wildly.
His face was as white as paper. At that moment, he really felt the threat of death.
Then, the fist slowly retracted.
Light flooded in.
Through the hole in the cockpit's outer shell, he saw a blonde boy wearing a white fox mask. On his shoulder, there was a small robot sitting.
The blonde boy narrowed his gray-blue eyes and looked at him condescendingly. His cold eyes were as if he was looking at a dead thing.
