The large bedroom was very quiet.
Only one or two of the chandeliers were turned on. Moonlight poured in through the open window, covering everything with a thin veil.
The silver-haired young man with a bright smile also became hazy under the moonlight.
Frowning slightly, Si Sheng moved his gaze away and quietly scanned the surroundings.
This is the little emperor's bedroom, why is he here?
The memory before he fainted appeared in his mind. It was a tender white foot, enlarged in front of him, and finally crushed his face.
Si Sheng narrowed his eyes, anger and coldness flashing in his eyes.
"Janice, I changed my mind."
At this time, the young man's clear voice sounded again. Si Sheng looked over.
The little emperor had already stopped smiling, looked down at the woman in front of him, and spoke slowly.
That careless appearance of hers was more unpredictable than her usual weak and timid self.
Si Sheng's heart jumped, and he slightly raised his eyebrows.
The head maid lying on the ground was already in despair, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but raise her head and look at him in confusion.
Janice said, "Your Majesty, you mean …"
"I'm not going to leave."
The young man slightly curved his lips, his voice was still lazy, but there was a sense of strength.
"I'll stay and solve all the problems."
Janice was stunned at first, but after a while, she suddenly burst into tears of joy.
"Your Majesty, you're really willing to stay?"
She was a bit surprised, but soon she became worried. "But isn't this too dangerous? And didn't you promise the leader of the Bevat Empire … "
"It's okay, don't worry about him."
"I've already rejected him, tomorrow …"
Xu Sili touched his chin. "Their starship shouldn't be coming, right?"
Ai Xuexing couldn't just come and go as he pleased.
Because of the natural disaster a hundred years ago, countless countries were destroyed, and the Roland Empire also suffered heavy losses. After a hundred years of wind and frost, there were only five main cities left.
The remaining 99% of the territory was occupied by interstellar beasts, becoming the habitat of various exotic beasts.
To the people of the Roland Empire, interstellar beasts were an alien race and a disaster, but at the same time, they were also a protective barrier.
It was impossible for an enemy from another planet to attack the remaining cities of the Roland Empire by bypassing the Interstellar Beasts.
Perhaps before they could even find the place, the overlords of the sky would let the invaders have a taste of despair.
Xu Sili felt that the Bevat Empire probably didn't want to attack by force. They probably planned to let go of their military power and force Snow Roland to hand over their authority.
This way, they would be able to enter the Roland Empire through the safe passage set up by the Star Alliance. Without wasting a single soldier, they would be able to easily annex the Roland Empire and become the master of Escher Star.
Therefore, even if he rejected Arnold, the Bevat Empire would not attack him in the short term.
Of course, if the Roland Empire really lost the protection of the Star Alliance a month later, the safe passage would very likely be controlled by the Bevat Empire. At that time, it would be hard to say what would happen.
"Your Majesty …"
In front of Xu Sili, Janice was still kneeling on the ground.
She looked up at the youth with a complicated expression. There was both joy and worry for the future.
She was also clear about the situation of the Roland Empire, so she could understand His Majesty's desire to leave. However, it was difficult to leave one's homeland. At the last moment, Janice still chose to stay.
As for His Majesty, she really hoped that he could be free.
This old country was too heavy for him, who was only 18 years old!
He didn't enjoy the treatment of many princes, so how could he be forced to bear such a heavy responsibility?
However, Janice didn't expect that when she was about to say goodbye to him, the youth would say such words to her.
He said that he wouldn't leave.
He would stay and solve all the problems.
Janice couldn't describe her feelings.
She only felt that the prince she had watched grow up seemed to be different somewhere.
Perhaps he was still young, but he didn't run away anymore. Instead, he chose to bravely stay and bear the burden.
Janice's thoughts churned. Suddenly, she raised her hand and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
Her eyes became extremely firm.
"Your Majesty, no matter what you plan to do next, I will always stand by your side. Even if I die, Janice will follow Your Majesty without hesitation!"
[Ding. [Janice]'s favorability has increased to [Follow You Until Death], Roland Empire Faction Loyal Fan + 1]
[Faction System Activated]
[Favorability System Activated]
Xu Sili looked at the screen that suddenly popped up in front of him and couldn't help but be stunned.
Faction System? Favorability System?
After playing games for so many years, of course he knew what these two were. But weren't these for the players? Even NPCs had them?
He tried to think about the faction system, and a new screen appeared in front of him.
Xu Sili glanced over it.
There were so many words …
He couldn't read it all in a short time, so he wasn't in a hurry to study it. Instead, he looked at Janice who was still kneeling on the ground.
The label of a die-hard fan appeared above her head, which made him feel a little strange.
Because there was a parenthesis behind the label, which said:
Mom Fan.
Xu Sili: "… …"
Forget it, so be it. He was currently lacking people. At least he confirmed that Janice could be trusted. This was an unexpected gain.
But this label was so annoying … …
With a thought from Xu Sili, the die-hard fan tag suddenly disappeared. He blinked his eyes and tried again, only to find that the tag had reappeared.
Good lord, it was completely controlled by brainwaves. There was no manual operation.
This was hidden and convenient. Not bad, not bad.
Looking at Janice again, Xu Sili felt a bit complicated.
He gathered his thoughts and said to her: "Un, very good. Janice, thank you for your support. I hope you won't disappoint me in the future."
Then, he sent her away.
After watching Janice leave and close the door, Xu Sili put down his legs and gently rolled up his trousers, revealing a pair of lotus-root-like calves.
His ivory white skin was as smooth as jade. There were no flaws at all.
The shape of his legs was very similar to his original legs. His hands and feet were also familiar, but … …
Too white!
He stuck his head out and looked at his reflection in the water basin.
The silver-haired, purple-eyed teenager, other than the color of his hair and eyes, was ninety percent similar to his original appearance. It was just that he was much younger.
Eighteen years old … …
He didn't expect to become younger after death.
Xu Sili shrugged and stepped his slightly cold feet into the hot water basin.
When the soles of his feet touched the surface of the water, the scalding temperature jumped from the bottom to the top of his head. He couldn't help but shiver.
Then, he slowly soaked his feet completely into the water. He slowly closed his eyes and sighed comfortably.
This feels so good … …
Xu Sili only felt that his whole body was wrapped in warmth, and all the coldness was dispelled.
His entire body became sluggish, and his thoughts became much slower.
What should I do now?
Oh, right, the faction system … …
He fell back on the bed and slowly opened his eyes. He silently chanted the faction system and a light blue screen appeared in front of him.
[Snow Roland]
Identity: NPC faction leader
Faction: Roland Empire, Star Alliance
Territory: Ai Xue Xing
The three words "Ai Xue Xing" were protruding. It seemed that there was more content after clicking on it.
Xu Sili's gaze fell on "Ai Xue Xing". Following his thoughts, a detailed introduction popped up.
[Ai Xue Xing]
Faction: Roland Empire
Territory: About one billion square kilometers
Land Development Rate: Less than 0.02%
Population: 90 million +
Cities: 5 (Imperial City, Orchid City, Star Catcher City, Glass Ocean City, Dusk Frost City)
The five cities in brackets were no different from Snow Roland's memories.
Xu Sili touched his chin and looked at the city introduction.
Other than the Imperial City which was level 2, the other four main cities were level 1. Each city had a panel introduction that updated the various values in real time.
Xu Sili focused on the land area.
The combined area of these five main cities was more than two hundred thousand square kilometers. It was about the size of two Fulan provinces, but the population was much higher.
Looking at these values, he barely had the feeling of controlling a planet and dominating a country. Just thinking about it made his scalp numb.
As for the low level of the main cities, Xu Sili wasn't surprised. These five main cities were obviously five novice villages.
Since they were novice villages, the level and specifications couldn't be too high.
There would probably be city leveling up later.
Thinking of this, Xu Sili continued to read.
Military Strength: 1 million +
Military Combat Strength: 2 stars
Personal Reputation: Respected
Popular Support: 52% (If it is lower than 50%, it may cause a revolt)
Diehard Fans: 2
Seeing the popular support of 52%, Xu Sili couldn't help but be stunned.
He hurriedly looked at the explanation of the revolt.
[Revolt: When the popular support is lower than a certain value, there is a chance that the camp's people will take drastic measures to overthrow the camp leader's rule. The lower the popular support, the more likely it is for a revolt to occur and the more drastic the measures taken.]
Oh, so it's a revolt?
Could it be that Si Sheng's rebellion was a type of mass uprising? But the popular support isn't lower than 50% …
Xu Sili pursed his lips. His happy and relaxed mood suddenly dissipated by a lot.
He originally thought that after earning ten million Universe Credits and paying the alliance fee, he would be able to reunite with his family during the first closed beta. He didn't expect there to be a revolt …
Xu Sili suddenly felt like his life was in danger.
Snow Roland is too unpopular, right?
The popular support is so low. Diehard fans … Hmm? There's another one besides Janice?
The number behind the diehard fans was also raised. He should be able to see the specific information. Sure enough, as he moved his mind, a new interface appeared again.
This was an interface with a picture. At the top were the words "Diehard Fans", and below were two avatars with names written below.
At the very front was a short-haired child with black hair and purple eyes. Janice was behind him.
Jean Roland.
Looking at the avatars and names, Xu Sili's memory surfaced.
This was Snow Roland's half-brother. He was only ten years old this year. He was also the child who was pushed to the throne after Snow Roland's death.
Xu Sili frowned slightly. He felt a little surprised.
This was because in Snow Roland's memory, he didn't have a good relationship with this little brother of his.
This little brother of Jean was actually Snow's diehard fan? Did the system make a mistake?
Xu Sili opened Jean's details.
[Jean Roland]
Identity: Brother of the new emperor
Camp: Roland Empire
Age: 10 years old
Level: lv5
HP: 7000/7000
Mana: 600/600
Attributes: Constitution (7), Intelligence (12), Strength (7), Spirit (12), Dexterity (9), Defense (5)
Elemental Affinity: Dark
Xu Sili blinked and read from the beginning again. In the end, he was sure that his eyes weren't playing tricks on him.
This was too much!
As the elder brother, he was eight years older than Jean, and he was only level 2. But this little guy was already level 5?
He looked at his own attributes again:
Constitution (3), Intelligence (12), Strength (2), Spirit (12), Dexterity (6), Defense (2).
Okay, except for Intelligence and Spirit, he was crushed by this little brother of his.
But this also showed that Snow Roland's initial Intelligence and Spirit were very high. Even though there was a three-level gap, he was still on par with his little brother.
Xu Sili was a little speechless.
After thinking about it, he didn't think too much about it. After all, this was his little brother. It didn't matter if he was stronger.
In the past, he was the youngest in the family, and everyone treated him like a child. Now that he had a little brother, Xu Sili was quite happy.
Of course, he still had to improve his strength as soon as possible. Whether it was for face or survival, strength was the most important thing.
After that, Xu Sili looked at Janice's information again.
To his surprise, this head maid was already level 15. Compared to him and Jean Roland, her stats were a little frightening.
[Janice]
Identity: Head Maid
Camp: Roland Empire
Age: 41 years old
Level: lv15
HP: 40000/40000
Mana: 650/650
Attributes: Constitution (40), Intelligence (13), Strength (28), Spirit (12), Dexterity (20), Defense (30)
Elemental Affinity: Water
Profession: Warrior
Xu Sili blinked and related memories came to his mind.
It was mentioned before that Esnow Star was the origin of Elementalists. Elementalists were also divided into two types.
One type was a martial artist who tempered their body with elements to increase their physical strength. They were also known as Physical Elementalists. The other type was a mage who released skills by controlling elements. They were also known as Mental Elementalists.
They had different talents. They were divided into the five common talents of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the five rare talents of wind, thunder, light, dark, and sound.
Due to the natural disaster a hundred years ago, the elements in Esnow Star were thin. Only those with extraordinary talents could become truly powerful Elementalists.
Elementalists were mostly recruited by the army to resist the invasion of interstellar beasts. The existence of an Elementalist was sometimes comparable to an army.
Xu Sili thought about the memories he got and roughly understood that this was the profession system of the game.
His Elemental Affinity was sound, and his talent was [Chant]. It should be related to sound.
He didn't know how to train … As an NPC, could he level up by killing monsters like players? If he could, that would be his advantage.
Looking at the night sky, Xu Sili suppressed the urge to go out and try. It was too late now. He should wait until tomorrow.
At this moment, Xu Sili looked at Janice's interface again. He couldn't help but grin.
He didn't expect that Janice, who looked weak and delicate, was actually a Water Elementalist who walked the path of Martial Arts!
He was a little surprised.
At least with her by his side, his safety was guaranteed during this period of time.
Of course, if he were to encounter a freak like Si Sheng, he would still be in danger. Tonight, it was pure luck that allowed him to activate the [Capture] skill.
But what about next time?
Although Capture was a powerful skill, it used up all of his mana in one hit!
Xu Sili furrowed his brows in distress and sat up with his arms on the mattress.
After soaking for a while, the water in the basin was still warm. It seemed that the basin had a thermostatic function.
But if he continued to soak, his skin would probably wrinkle.
He retracted his legs.
There was a towel beside him, but he didn't use it. He just straightened his legs in the air and twisted his toes while thinking about what he needed to do next.
First, he needed to improve his strength and protect his life. Next, he needed to pay the alliance fee of 10 million Universe Credits. Lastly, he needed to increase the public support rate.
The public support rate was not urgent. After all, it couldn't be done in a short period of time. Even if there was a rebellion, he should be able to suppress it in a short period of time.
In terms of strength, he would try to level up by killing monsters tomorrow. If he couldn't, he would find an Elementalist to teach him.
In fact, he could find Janice. She would definitely be willing to teach him.
But Janice was a Water Elementalist who specialized in Martial Arts. His talent was obviously of the Spirit type, which was relatively rare. He didn't know if she could teach him.
And the most troublesome part was still the 10 million Universe Credits.
Eshe Star had its own currency system called Eshe Credits. Because the Roland Empire was too weak, Eshe Credits had no value in the universe. Even the Star Alliance didn't accept them.
So he could only rely on himself to earn Universe Credits to make up for this hole.
If it was the real world, Xu Sili wouldn't be worried about money. It was only 10 million. Not to mention the Xu Family, he could earn it back with a few concerts.
But this was the Star Age.
He was unfamiliar with this place. Even in Snow Roland's memory, there was very little information about other planets, let alone ways to earn money.
It was so difficult …
Xu Sili was a little worried.
He thought about things. His legs unconsciously swayed. As he swayed, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Xu Sili looked up sharply and suddenly met a pair of gray-blue eyes.
He saw that the man sitting by the window had woken up without him knowing.
His hands and feet were still tied.
The moonlight shone in through the open window. The curtains were blown by the wind. Half of the man's face was hidden in the shadows. The pair of cold and ruthless gray-blue eyes looked even more demonic.
Xu Sili's heart was beating wildly.
This was because he was scared.
After he calmed down, a wave of anger mixed with depression and grievance surged into his heart.
F * ck, you're so f * cking fierce!
I've been so good to you and you want to kill me? Now you're silently scaring me!
Si Sheng stared at the young man in the distance.
He was sitting on the bed. His pair of white legs were restlessly swaying. His wet feet were slightly glowing under the moonlight.
He slightly narrowed his eyes.
At this time, the little emperor finally noticed him. His face was pale at first. Suddenly, he angrily stared at him.
Then, he jumped off the bed and rushed over in a threatening manner.
He raised his right foot and kicked at him.
Xu Sili was very unhappy.
He felt that he had to get back at him. This guy fainted just now. Now he had to do it again!
However, an accident happened.
Just as his foot was about to step on Si Sheng's handsome face, a large palm was raised and firmly held him.
That palm was hot and thick. The calluses on the palm were somewhat rough. Just like that, it wrapped around his foot. His foot firmly stepped on the other party's large palm.
Then, the man who was supposed to be bound held his foot and slowly stood up.
The tall figure shrouded him. It was full of oppression.
Xu Sili was stunned.
Damn, what's this situation?!
