Xu Sili walked through the light door of the Star Web community. In a flash, he arrived at the food street of District E.
At this moment, District E had turned into daytime.
The star lanterns had disappeared, and the neon lights had dimmed. However, the advertising spaceships with various banners still filled the entire sky.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, long flags fluttered past, making flapping sounds.
If one didn't want to see these advertising spaceships, they could buy an advertising-free service, but the price was not low. Xu Sili couldn't help but sigh. The Star Web was full of scams.
The food street was bustling with people coming and going.
It didn't seem to be any different from before he left.
Xu Sili stood in the crowd, looking left and right for the Guardian of Roland.
He still remembered the young man's short, fluffy golden hair. Even among the Star Web visitors with different appearances, it was still very eye-catching.
Moreover, the young man was accompanied by a simple milk tea table. If he was nearby, he would definitely be able to find him at a glance.
Unfortunately, he couldn't find him.
Xu Sili didn't look around blindly. Instead, he sent him a message: "Where are you?"
As soon as the message was sent, he immediately received a reply.
[Guardian of Roland]: Stand there and don't move. I'll come and find you.
Then, a team request was sent over.
This Star Web community was indeed a large-scale interactive holographic online game. There was even a team request.
Xu Sili clicked "Accept" and then waited in place.
The chat interface was still floating in front of him.
His gaze fell on the chat history.
Xu Sili felt a little emotional. This kid was quite polite and kept using honorifics.
Although there was still a possibility that he was a scammer, when he thought back to their brief meeting and how the young man stunned him, he felt that the possibility of this kid being a scammer was very low.
If he wasn't a scammer, then why was he looking for him? What was his purpose?
Xu Sili didn't think that it was a big deal to ask someone to do a part-time job as soon as they met.
If it wasn't convenient, you could have refused.
Since he didn't refuse, it meant that he had time to do a part-time job.
With this thought in mind, Xu Sili closed the chat screen.
He happened to be standing under a streetlight, looking at the passers-by with some boredom.
A couple walked past him with a cup of milk tea in their hands. They were chatting and laughing, but he didn't know what they were talking about.
When they passed by, Xu Sili realized in hindsight —
Wasn't the milk tea in their hands from the Fox family?
In this world, only his fox family had this kind of packaging!
Xu Sili gently curved his lips.
It seemed that the child did not slack off and completed his work properly.
He took a closer look at the other passers-by and was surprised to find that almost everyone on the food street was holding a cup of Fox's milk tea!
The eyes under the mask widened slightly, and the light purple pupils were suffused with a glass-like luster.
They actually … sent out so many?
How did that kid do it?
Xu Sili was shocked and quickly opened the background interface of the Milk Tea Shop.
While he was offline, a total of Roland's Guardians were sent out.
2978 cups.
Damn, close to three thousand cups!
Xu Sili was stunned. According to the calculation, this was 50 cups per minute.
This meant that in a very short time, a lot of Roland's Guardians had gathered, and these people had a clear purpose, otherwise, it would be impossible to reach such a high number.
After all, he had personally sent out the Guardians. Although the crowd was mobile, and he had spread a cloth on the counter to explain, there were still some people who needed to be explained.
This was very time-consuming, otherwise, the efficiency would be much higher.
Xu Sili frowned. Who was this Roland's Guardian? If he had so much power, why would he want to earn his 20 Universe Credits?
What exactly was he plotting?
Thinking, he glanced at the income of the Milk Tea Shop, and the expression under the mask almost collapsed.
Today's Revenue: 680649
Cost: 68064.9
Profit: 612584.1
Xu Sili stared at these numbers, and for a moment, he suspected that he had seen wrong.
He remembered that when he went offline, the income of the Milk Tea Shop was only 20 to 30 dollars.
In just a little more than an hour, the Milk Tea Shop had generated 600,000 dollars of income! And this number was still increasing, and there was no sign of it slowing down.
The Guardian of Roland, what did he do?
"Xiao Wu."
Xu Sili called for the little robot.
Xiao Wu was an artificial intelligence, and it was born on the Star Web. It would definitely be able to tell him what had happened!
But before Xiao Wu could appear, a calm and gentle voice of a young man rang in his ears.
"Your Majesty."
Xu Sili turned his head to look.
The young man wearing a white fox mask had unknowingly appeared beside him. He was very close to him, and a pair of gray-blue eyes were staring at him.
It was supposed to be a cold and unapproachable color, but at this moment, it was shining with a gentle light, as beautiful as the stars in the night sky.
Xu Sili's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously took a step back.
The white fox youth looked at him, and his bright red lips curved slightly. He smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, I've made you wait for a long time."
Standing at the side of the street, Xu Sili quietly looked at the young man's smile. The red fox mask covered his expression, but it still revealed a sense of vigilance, indifference, and alienation.
The young man slowly withdrew his smile.
His gray-blue eyes flashed slightly, revealing a little bit of confusion and grievance.
Why …
Why was the deity looking at him like this?
Why did it feel like he was back to square one?
"I …" He said softly with a hoarse voice, "Completed the mission."
"Yes, you have exceeded the requirements."
Xu Sili slightly narrowed his eyes. His gaze was inexplicable, but it was definitely not friendly.
The white fox youth opened his mouth, but his throat was dry.
If that's the case, why … aren't you happy?
Xu Sili, in fact, did not have an amiable personality. He would only show his soft side to people close to him.
But in front of strangers, especially those who made him feel threatened, he was very cold, and even a little aggressive.
"How did you do it?"
Xu Sili stared at the young man, his eyes sharp.
He did not forget about the threat of the Bevat Empire, and he did not know whether Roland had other enemies outside.
Snow Roland did not know much about government affairs.
So his information was somewhat obscured.
Also, he was too weak now, his spiritual power level was only F, and this young man in front of him …
He had just used [Insight] on him.
[Guardian of Roland]
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Physical Strength: SSS +
Spiritual Power Level: SSS +
Game Pod Model: K2576
Star Web Area: Atna Galaxy
Xu Sili's scalp went numb.
After spending a few days on the Star Web, he knew that [Insight] could only detect other people's account information.
For example, if a person used the system's protective shield to hide their ID, he could use [Insight] to know that person's ID name and some very simple information.
But this guy in front of him had both SSS + physical strength and spiritual power. Even if he did not know much about the alien power system, Xu Sili knew that he had encountered a tough opponent.
Si Sheng pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and did not say anything.
He did not want to mention that Mech, which should be a very unpleasant thing for Lord God.
He did not want Lord God to remember it.
Xu Sili looked at him quietly, and when he saw that he did not say anything, he did not say anything.
He opened the back panel of the milk tea shop again, transferred all the profits to his Star Web account, and then transferred them to the Guardian of Roland.
"I promised you that there would be a reward for completing the mission, and I will not go back on my words."
He said, observing the young man's reaction.
Seeing that he was not surprised, and his eyes showed some confusion and annoyance, Xu Sili was more and more sure that there was something wrong with him.
He did not understand why a Double SSS + Ranker would approach him in such a weak manner. What was the purpose of that?
But he did not want to know.
The only thing that was worth celebrating was that at this moment on the Star Web.
No matter what schemes they had, as long as he was not on the Star Web, he would not be threatened.
As for putting himself in danger, Xu Sili did not want to do it.
The difference in strength was too big, and he could not guarantee that he would not fail. Who knew what tricks the aliens had that he did not know?
"This is your reward."
Xu Sili said in a low voice, "Don't show up again."
"I don't know what your plan is, and I am not interested to know. If you force me into a corner, I will fight to the death!"
Anyway, it was not like he could not give up everything on the Star Web.
At most, he would not earn any more Universe Credits, and just hide back on Ai Xue Star and continue to develop. Even if the Bevat Empire really attacked, he did not think that the Roland Empire would not be able to resist.
Hearing Xu Sili's words, Si Sheng was a little stunned.
He finally understood the problem, Lord God … really did not recognize him, and even thought that he was a person with bad intentions.
"I am not …"
He was about to explain, but suddenly he stopped.
Maybe … it was better this way.
Si Sheng suddenly looked up and stared deeply at Xu Sili, "I just …"
His voice was hoarse, but it was full of sincerity.
"I admire you."
Finally, he said the words that were buried deep in his heart, the words that he thought he would never say to him. Si Sheng felt that his heart had never beat so fast before.
He stared greedily at Xu Sili.
He imagined what kind of expression he would have under the mask at this moment.
Xu Sili thought that the teenager was going to say something, but he did not expect it to be such a confession.
He smiled gently.
At first, it was only a suspicion, but now he was 100% sure.
Facing the teenager's confession, not only was he not moved, he even felt a little cold in his heart. What kind of purpose would make a strong person say such a lie?
Xu Sili pursed his lips, and when he spoke again, his voice was full of coldness.
"If you think that I will believe your nonsense, then you are very wrong. I don't know who you are, but even if you want to seduce me, you should have done your research first."
"My orientation is normal, and I am not interested in young children."
Xu Sili did not waste any more time. After he was done with the teenager, he simply logged out of the Star Network and ran away.
Si Sheng watched as his figure disappeared. He reached out to touch him, but in the end, he grabbed empty air.
He lowered his eyes and stared blankly at his palm.
In the end, he suddenly clenched his fist.
He did not blame the deity for rejecting him. He was a little impulsive just now. Under such circumstances, if the deity accepted him, he would feel shocked and strange.
But the deity said …
His orientation was normal?
Could it be that the deity liked women?
Xu Sili logged out of the Star Network community and returned to the virtual room. Looking at his only friend in the list that appeared, he gritted his teeth and blacklisted him.
He logged out too quickly just now and forgot to confirm with the favorability system. There were too many people in the gourmet street, and it was not convenient to keep the favorability system on, so he turned it off.
The teenager's hurt eyes appeared in his mind, and Xu Sili pursed his lips.
Forget it, it is the same whether or not I confirm.
If he really likes me, it will be even more terrifying!
Xu Sili knew that he might be too cautious.
But he did not forget the night when he had just transmigrated and received death threats one after another.
He cherished this life very much and did not want to die.
He especially did not want to die because of his own carelessness.
Of course, thinking about the 600,000 that he had just transferred to the teenager, Xu Sili still felt a little heartache. He should not have been impulsive and transferred all the balance back to him.
Facing a strong person with double SSS +, he still felt a little guilty.
This money should be from the organization behind the teenager, right?
Xu Sili was a little annoyed. If he was really an enemy, how could he repay their good intentions if he did not extort a large sum of money?
But in the next few days, he did not plan to enter the Star Network community again. He planned to move out of Area E and change his ID in the future.
But this would have to wait until he leveled up and his spiritual power reached D rank.
According to the speed of the mercenary town's construction, it should be very soon.
The teenager's face flashed in front of his eyes again, and his confession rang in his ears. Xu Sili shook his head.
This kind of method was too clumsy.
As a top superstar, he had received a lot of confessions in the past, both men and women, almost all kinds of people.
But Xu Sili was not very interested in love.
No matter how good looking a man or woman was, could they be as good as a paper person?
Of course, the paper person that he used to like the most had now become a three-dimensional person.
Xu Sili curled his lips and stopped thinking about these boring things.
Although he would not be going to the Star Network community for the time being, he could still use the virtual room.
He had spent a few days tinkering with the milk tea shop, but he had been schemed against. Thinking about it made him feel very unhappy.
He fell on the sofa and ordered a cup of Cheese Mang. As he drank, he asked Xiao Wu to open the Star Music Network and prepare to listen to some songs to adjust his mood.
Xu Sili almost choked on his milk tea when he inadvertently glanced at the backend.
He had not looked at his Star Music Network account for a long time. He did not expect that in just two or three days, the balance would reach —
2580065.6。
He did not see wrong, it was indeed 2.58 million Universe Credits.
What had happened?
Xu Sili was a little confused. He quickly put down his milk tea and looked at the backend message.
After reading it all, he roughly understood what had happened.
In the past few days when he had been researching the milk tea crazily, someone had thrown money at him and put him on a recommendation spot on the front page.
That had always been a spot for pay-to-play players.
Xu Sili had never thought of throwing money at it because it was very expensive. It cost 500,000 a day.
But this spot had a lot of traffic.
In just one day, he had earned more than two million. Ten million Universe Credits, a quarter of it had been taken care of!
Who on earth would be so generous?
Xu Sili frowned. He was a little sensitive after what had just happened.
He turned off the backend and looked at the comments section.
Actually, there was no need to look. The comment about buying the recommendation spot was at the top of the list.
[Shu Shu Shu Xiaolan]
This album was recommended by a friend. "Bloom" was very special, and "Roland's Goodnight Song" was indeed a song that made people want to sleep (not derogatory).
Let's cut to the chase. Kept on the front page!
Xu Sili had some doubts at first, but after seeing the comments in the comments, he dispelled his doubts.
[Surprising appearance of a rich woman!]
[Front row onlookers selling sunflower seeds and soda]
[Your Majesty Roland, you're going to be popular. You actually attracted the attention of a rich woman (dog head)]
[Yu Yang can be popular all over the universe. Lanlan has contributed a lot. It seems that the next Yu Yang will be born soon.]
[Your Majesty Roland, go go go go!]
Xu Sili touched his chin.
So this [Shu Shu Shu Xiaolan] also smashed the front page of the new singer Yu Yang?
He thought that Yu Yang relied on himself to become popular.
But to be able to attract rich fans, it was also his own strength.
Xu Sili opened the backend and looked again. Then, he suddenly froze.
Account balance: 5081065.6 Universe Credits.
Huh?
What's going on? Is there something wrong with my eyes? Wasn't it just over two million? Why did it suddenly become five million?
At this time, he saw a message appear in the system announcement.
[Listener [Blockhead] tipped five million Universe Credits for His Majesty Roland's "Germinal". Thank you for your support!]
Case solved!
Just now, someone tipped five million. After splitting it with the platform, Xu Sili received two and a half million.
Thinking about the money that was split by the platform, Xu Sili suddenly felt a headache.
At this time, Xiao Wu's voice suddenly sounded.
"Brother, [Blockhead] is requesting to add you as a friend. Do you accept?"
Xu Sili paused and nodded.
Then, the add interface appeared in front of him.
[[Blockhead] is requesting to add you as a friend.]
Note message: Your Majesty Roland, sorry to disturb you. Because there were no replies in the comments section, this is the only way to contact you.
Xu Sili raised his eyebrows slightly. He was a little curious about this generous [Blockhead].
He accepted the friend request.
The other party's avatar was a black cat with a pair of bright amber cat eyes.
After the friend request was accepted, the other party immediately sent a message.
[Blockhead]: Are you the singer of "Germinal", His Majesty Roland?
[His Majesty Roland]: Yes.
Xu Sili's reply was not very enthusiastic.
Although he had just given him five million, he was not a person who had not seen the world. Furthermore, this person obviously had a favor to ask of him. That was why he used five million as a stepping stone.
As expected …
[Blockhead]: Your Majesty Roland, hello!
[Blockhead]: Then I'll get straight to the point. Are you interested in making a trip to the capital planet of the Flanda Interstellar Federation? I would like to invite you to sing your single "Germinal". The performance fee is negotiable.
Xu Sili raised his eyebrows. He actually came for "Germinal"?
Did someone discover something special about "Germinal"? He thought about it and typed a reply.
[His Majesty Roland]: Not interested.
The other party suddenly became anxious.
[Blockhead]: Please don't be in a hurry to reject!
[Blockhead]: You don't have to worry about the round-trip fee. I can pay for all of it. The tip just now was just a small token of my appreciation.
[Blockhead]: How much is the performance fee? Just give me a price. No matter what, please consider it.
Xu Sili tilted his head. The other party was anxious, but he was not.
In a negotiation, he had to take the initiative.
He did not reply immediately. Instead, he took the milk tea on the coffee table, bit the plastic tube, and gently took a sip. He thought to himself that he would give the recipe to Janice later and let her make the milk tea.
Then, he would be able to drink it in real life.
He was not anxious, but the other party was getting more and more anxious.
[Blockhead]: Your Majesty Roland?
Xu Sili glanced at it and finally typed a reply.
[His Majesty Roland]: Yes.
[Blockhead]: You agreed?
[His Majesty Roland]: No, I'm just a little curious. Why do you want to hear it live? It should not be just because you like it, right?
After Xu Sili's message was sent, the other party was silent for a while before replying.
[Blockhead]: You may not know, but there is a special power in your voice. When I listened to 'Roland's Goodnight Song, I felt it.
[Blockhead]: Actually, I have been troubled by insomnia for a long time. At one time, I needed a lot of sleeping pills to fall asleep.
[Blockhead]: But now, as long as I listen to your Goodnight Song, I can easily fall asleep without the use of any pills.
Xu Sili nodded. 'Roland's Goodnight Song was indeed very powerful. Even if it was a recorded version, the hypnotic effect was top-notch.
But …
What did this have to do with 'Germinal'?
[Blockhead]: After listening to it many times, I recommended your song to my sister, but I did not let her listen to the Goodnight Song because …
[Blockhead]: My sister was seriously injured a few years ago. Her spiritual sea collapsed and she has been in a coma for many years.
Xu Sili sighed.
But spiritual sea …
An unfamiliar term. It was probably related to the power system of the extraterrestrial. He silently noted it down.
The other party continued to send him more messages.
[Blockhead]: So, I let her listen to 'Germinal' because this song gave me a strong sense of vitality. I hoped that she could feel it and then pull herself together.
[Blockhead]: What I did not expect was that her spiritual sea, which had been silent for many years, really had a reaction!
[Blockhead]: Although it is very weak, at least there is hope that she will wake up again. So, I would like to invite you to the scene and personally sing 'Germinal' for her.
[Blockhead]: I only have one family left. I really cannot lose her. I hope that you can fulfill my wish. No matter how much it costs, I will find a way to satisfy it!
The other party sent a series of messages. Xu Sili sighed more and more when he read.
Because he realized …
The other party could be an honest person.
He had almost given him all the information and had repeatedly emphasized that he could pay as much as he wanted. Wasn't this clearly saying 'I am a fat sheep' on his face?
He felt a little embarrassed.
Xu Sili thought about it and typed a reply.
[His Majesty Roland]: Pardon me for asking, but what is your occupation?
[Blockhead]: I work in a research institute.
No wonder he is so rich … Xu Sili continued to ask.
[His Majesty Roland]: What is your research direction?
[Blockhead]: I don't have a specific direction. I have dabbled in weapon design, mech manufacturing, new material research, and so on.
Xu Sili's eyes lit up.
Wonderful!
Although his research might not be useful to an Elementalist, don't forget that in the army fighting at the front line, there were only a few thousand Elementalists. The rest were ordinary people.
Just the design of the weapons alone …
Although he did not know what level this' Blockhead 'researcher was at, Xu Sili decided to persuade him first.
He was thinking, but the other party was a little impatient.
[Blockhead]: Your Majesty Roland, what do you think?
[His Majesty Roland]: I can do it.
[Blockhead]: Really?
[His Majesty Roland]: But I won't go out. If you want to hear it, bring your sister here personally.
Xu Sili typed a reply.
He did not say how long this trip would take.
[Blockhead]: But I can't leave …
[His Majesty Roland]: Whatever.
[His Majesty Roland]: Think about it yourself. I'll go first.
Xu Sili mercilessly closed the chat interface and then stretched his body. He was in a very good mood.
A researcher who came to him on a silver platter!
Who would have thought that Germinal had such benefits?
He happily said goodbye to Xiao Wu and then exited the virtual room. When he opened his eyes, he was at the top of the game pod.
The Franda Interstellar Federation …
He had heard of this country many times.
He did not know when Roland would be able to catch up with such a superpower.
Xu Sili shook his head and got up from the game pod. His footsteps were very light.
No matter what, five million Universe Credits was in his hands!
He was already halfway to ten million. This was definitely good news worth celebrating.
After leaving the dark room, Xu Sili called Janice.
He quickly wrote down a few milk tea recipes and asked her to make them according to the proportion and order.
He then lay on the bed and took out a children's book to pass the time.
Janice was very efficient.
Xu Sili did not wait for long before she came back with a few maids behind her. Each of them held a cup of milk tea and walked in from the outside.
He signaled them to put the milk tea on the coffee table. After all the maids left, he slowly put down the book and got up to walk over.
Xu Sili tried all of them. In the end, he only kept the milk tea that tasted the best and rewarded the maids with the rest.
He went back to the sofa and sat alone for a while. He could not help but raise his wrist and look at his communicator.
Si Sheng … should be done with his work, right?
Even if he is not done, he should take a break. I was the one who said to strike a balance between work and rest.
With this thought, Xu Sili sent him a message.
Not long after Xu Sili left, Si Sheng did not stay in the Star Web community for long. Some people stopped him and wanted to talk to him, but he ignored them all.
He sat up in the game cabin, and the lines on his handsome face became colder and harsher, revealing a bit of malice.
At this time, his communicator suddenly vibrated.
He pursed his thin lips. He did not want to pay attention to it, but in the end, he raised his wrist and looked at it.
When he saw the sender, he could not help but be startled.
[His Majesty]: Come to my bedroom.
Si Sheng's heart, which had calmed down, started to beat wildly again.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
The next second, he disappeared from the room.
