Xu Yuheng waited, but Xiao Wu did not continue.
He could only soften his voice and ask, "Xiao Wu, tell me, what did you see?"
The little robot held its cheek and tilted its head. It hesitated for a moment, then shook its head and said, "I can't tell you."
Although it didn't quite understand, a feeling told it that if it told its second brother, he wouldn't kill it, but …
Si Sheng would.
That guy was so fierce. If he found out, it would be very troublesome.
Xu Yuheng pursed his lips. He muttered to himself as if he didn't want to continue this topic.
However, just when Xiao Wu thought it was safe, he suddenly heard him ask, "Did you see your brother kiss someone?"
"Wow, how did you know!"
Xiao Wu said subconsciously. It blinked its electronic eyes and looked at him with eyes full of worship.
Xu Yuheng, who got an affirmative answer, couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Xiao Li … was in love?
Although ten years had passed, in his mind, his younger brother was still a child who couldn't grow up. Now, he was telling him … that Xiao Li was in love? Which family's young lady did he steal?
This news shocked Xu Yuheng.
But soon, he thought of something and his expression became serious.
Xiao Li debuted as an idol group. At that time, he was only in his teens. After the group disbanded, he went solo and had his later achievements.
And the reason why the group disbanded …
The captain and a small-time actress made the show real, got married, and retired. The other two members also got married …
Yes, the second in the team got married to Huannei.
Recalling this distant memory, Xu Yuheng suddenly felt his hair stand on end.
It can't be, right? Xiao Li can't be, right?
Other than marrying someone, was there a possibility that his precious younger brother was marrying someone else?
Xu Yuheng's face turned pale.
Xiao Wu, who was slow to react, saw the change in his expression and finally realized something.
Just now … did it slip up?
Ah, it had nothing to do with it. Second Brother was too smart! He guessed it himself!
"Xiao Wu …"
As soon as Xu Yuheng opened his mouth, the little robot shook its head desperately like a rattle-drum.
"Xiao Wu doesn't know. Xiao Wu doesn't know anything. Xiao Wu is going to monitor Bryce. Goodbye, Second Brother!"
After that, the little robot disappeared with a whoosh.
Xu Yuheng: "…"
He looked at the communication device and spun around in place, his face full of annoyance.
What kind of situation is this?
Who is Xiao Li in love with? NPC or player? Was it a man or a woman? Above or below?
"Brother Yu, what are you doing here?"
As soon as Bai Feng came online and came out of the military camp tent, she saw Xu Yuheng pacing around with an ugly expression.
Suddenly hearing his voice, Xu Yuheng stopped in his tracks. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he was too embarrassed to say that he was worried about his younger brother's marriage.
"When did you come online?" he asked.
Bai Feng did not understand. "Just now."
Xu Yuheng nodded. "Then let's go, I'll take you to get your class change."
"Class change! Elementalist? I saw them talking about it in the army channel. "
"Okay."
Xu Yuheng took her to find the Consul. He had just sent a message, and the Consul had already received the order from the Imperial City, so she was willing to cooperate with him.
They did not go through the class change in the military camp. Instead, they found the Elementalist instructor who had just arrived and took them out of the military camp with the excuse of escorting them to the town center.
The players in the escort team had all gone offline. Other than changing the nutrient solution to solve their physiological needs, everyone had not left the game cabin for almost two weeks. No matter how fun the game was, they could not stand it.
They thought that the Elementalist instructor would obediently stay in the military camp and wait for them to come online to build the Elementalist Branch together, but in the end, Xu Yuheng got in the way.
After leaving the military camp, Xu Yuheng turned the car around and directly drove the Elementalist instructor to the warehouse he had rented before.
Endis sat in the back of the car, looking a little absent-minded as the old hover car swayed.
She was the leader of the Elementalist instructor and was about to become the dean of the branch in Orchid City. However, she was not that old, so the experience of the past two weeks was like a dream to her.
She originally thought that the journey would be disastrous, but because of the protection of the Heroes, not only were the instructors fine, but the Warriors who protected them also survived.
However, when she thought of the Heroes who had died, she still felt a heavy heart.
Although the Heroes kept saying that they could be resurrected, she had never seen it with her own eyes, so she did not believe it after that.
Thinking of Professor Baylon who had told her this information, she bit her lip. She did not know how the professor and the others were doing …
She had not received a reply to the message she had sent. She did not dare to think too much and could only pray silently in her heart.
Soon, Xu Yuheng brought them to the border town.
When the hover car drove into the warehouse, the instructors were a little flustered.
Although the Consul had informed them in advance, they were unfamiliar with the place and were brought to such a strange place. It was normal for them to be afraid.
Under Endis's comforting, everyone calmed down. Then, they set the table and took out the crystal ball.
Originally, there was only one crystal ball for testing. This was a backup copy, so the accuracy was slightly lower. However, now that they had improved the teaching method, they would not completely trust the crystal ball's test results.
After everything was set up, Endis looked at Xu Yuheng and asked, "Where are the people you want to test their talents?"
As soon as she finished speaking, figures appeared in the warehouse one after another — those were the players who had received the notice to come online.
Bai Feng was the first to rush to the crystal ball to test her talent.
The instructors were used to the sudden disappearance and reappearance of the Heroes, and quickly began to test their talents.
Although they already knew that the Heroes had strong talents, when the 49 people present, and then Xu Yuheng shook another 48 people, all tested their talents, the instructors were still shocked.
So, was the Hero race made up entirely of Elementalists? And most of them were of the Spirit type? What was more frightening was that they could learn any skill in one go!
Their numbers were not large, but it was still terrifying to Endis.
If their numbers increased …
She could not imagine what kind of scene it would be, and whether it would be a blessing or a curse for the Empire.
An entire race of people born as Elementalists …
This simply turned her worldview upside down.
In the end, Endis contacted Dean Justin, who was far away in the Imperial City, and reported her findings and concerns to him, as well as asking for his guidance.
She believed that with the Dean's wisdom, he would know how to deal with this.
By the time everyone finished testing and teaching them the skills, it was already late at night.
Endis and the instructors dealt with the situation in the warehouse for the entire night.
After nearly two weeks of adventuring in the wild, to be able to sleep in such a peaceful environment, for these Elementalists who were originally pampered, there was nothing to complain about.
As for the players who learned the skills, they were naturally inexplicably excited and wanted to give it a try.
However, in order to not cause too much of a commotion, Xu Yuheng stopped them, causing them to post on the forums one after another to show off.
Aside from the Imperial City, their Orchid City was the second main city in the game to have Elementalists!
It was a game, so naturally, there was no lack of learning!
Glaze City's players, who had just arrived, immediately felt jealous.
"This isn't fair! Why can Orchid City's players advance their class change, but we have to wait until the Elementalist branch is established? "
"Yeah, we also have to advance our class change!"
"Hehehe, who told you to not trigger the main city's defense quest? You're still the great god Jade Tree in the Wind! "
"Yeah, Jade Tree in the Wind, forever godly!"
Under the praise of Orchid City's players, a portion of the players were successfully angered.
"Is the producer retarded? How can a free trial be so annoying? Where can we give a rating? This game gives at most one star! "
"Is this Jade Tree Facing the Wind using cheats? I already felt that he was strange before. Everyone else is still waiting for the Elementalist instructor, but he advanced his class to an Elementalist! "
"Yeah, if he didn't cheat, he must have a guide, or used a bug!"
The direction of the posts suddenly changed. Some people felt that something was wrong, but it was already too late.
In the blink of an eye, the front page of the Starry Sky Forum was filled with all kinds of related posts, causing the originally harmonious forum to be in a foul mood.
In fact, the issue of unfair treatment in the game had been accumulating for a while, and under the influence of some people, it immediately exploded.
Then, some people reposted the posts on the Starry Sky Forum to other platforms, and all kinds of marketing accounts and big names in the game came down one after another.
They didn't use too harsh words, and at the beginning, they affirmed the quality of the game, but after a few sentences, they immediately changed their style and began to nitpick.
For example, the price of the game cabin was too high, or the game mechanism was problematic, or the lack of an anti-addiction system, or a mission that took half a month, which was a joke with the players' lives, or the uneven development of the game's novice cities and so on.
The good reputation of Star Age before was suddenly reversed.
Xu Yuheng received the news as soon as he went offline.
He didn't need to check to know that someone had finally made a move. It could be a rival company, or it could be Lin Hua and those old foxes.
Just as he was about to call, his phone rang.
It was his big brother, Xu Fengqing.
As soon as he picked up, he was bombarded with a sentence — —
"Jade Tree in the Wind, is that you?"
Xu Yuheng put on his glasses and nodded, "Yes."
He continued, "I know about the things on the Internet, I will find a way to solve it."
"How can you solve it?"
Xu Fengqing's voice was a bit cold, "Did you really use a bug or a plug-in?"
"No," Xu Yuheng said.
Xu Fengqing was more serious, "If you didn't, how do you explain the establishment of a mercenary group at this stage?"
Even if Xu Yuheng got the information in advance, it was unreasonable to be able to successfully establish a mercenary group.
Because according to the game settings, players should first establish a mercenary team, and after completing enough missions and meeting the requirements, they could apply to become a mercenary group.
Mercenary groups were similar to guilds, but in order to not let the closed beta players develop too quickly, there was no guidance mission for this gameplay at the moment.
At least in the first 20 days of the server, it was theoretically impossible for players to establish a mercenary group.
Therefore, Jade Tree in the Wind was a bit eye-catching.
Xu Yuheng smiled bitterly. At that time, he only thought about protecting Lan Yue City, but he lacked consideration.
After all, he was not a real player and still had to consider the development of the game. The future of this project was also related to the Xu family and many people in reality.
He looked up at the bright moon outside the window, thought for a moment, and said, "Big Brother, if I told you that Xiao Li opened the back door for me …"
"Would you believe it?"
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
In the end, he heard his big brother sigh deeply and say faintly, "I will help you contact a psychiatrist. You should rest for a while. From tomorrow onwards, don't go to the company and don't play games."
"Don't! Wait! "
Xu Yuheng said a few words in his heart. If it was before, he might have quarreled with his big brother, but now, after seeing Xiao Li, his emotions had calmed down a lot.
He did not go head-to-head with this big brother, but said, "The closed beta is about to end, it doesn't matter in a few days."
Xu Fengqing seemed to be convinced by him and did not continue this topic. Instead, he said, "You can play the game, but don't interfere with the progress of the game."
"Wang Lao told me a few times that the game is progressing too fast and he is a little worried. This is also a large part of the reason why the attack point was found this time."
Xu Yuheng was a little speechless.
From what he said, the game team blamed the problem of the game's plot being too fast on him?
This was clearly Xiao Li …
However, not to mention that no one would believe him, he had taken the blame for his brother many times in the past.
Fine, it was all his fault.
As long as the game team did not think of Snow Roland and could not find trouble with Xiao Li, it was fine. Who told him to be the older brother?
But then again …
Who was Xiao Li's love interest?
This stinky brat, could it be that he was really taken by some pig?!
"Achoo —"
Xu Sili suddenly sneezed.
He rubbed his nose, wondering if he had caught a cold or if someone was thinking about him.
A cloak fell on his shoulders, bringing with it a warm and familiar aura that belonged to a man.
Xu Sili did not need to turn around to guess who was standing behind him.
He curved his lips slightly and asked, "When did you come?"
At this moment, they were standing in the pavilion in the garden.
Xu Sili had just finished his work and came out to relax.
"I just arrived."
Si Sheng tidied his hair and continued, "Wen Jishan has already made arrangements. I will leave for Lan Yue City tomorrow morning."
"What time?" Xu Sili looked at him and asked.
"Six in the morning."
Si Sheng replied, looking at him deeply with a bit of longing in the depths of his eyes.
"It's too early. You sleep a little longer. There's no need to send me off."
The words that Xu Sili wanted to say were blocked. He raised an eyebrow, but there was a hint of a smile in his light purple eyes.
He scanned the surroundings with his spiritual energy and asked uncertainly, "Have the shadow guards all been withdrawn?"
He did not see the favorability tag, but he could not rule out the possibility that someone was hiding somewhere and was blocked by something, so he could not see them.
Si Sheng nodded and reached out to pick up a strand of the youth's hair, twirling it with his fingertips.
"With me here, there's no need for them."
His words were domineering, but also very persuasive.
As long as Si Sheng was there, Xu Sili felt an inexplicable sense of security.
Sure enough …
Strength was the most important thing.
As he thought this, he suddenly reached out and hugged the man's waist, burying his head in his arms.
Si Sheng froze, but quickly relaxed and opened his arms to hug him.
"I'm a bit cold," Xu Sili said in a low voice. "Give me a hug."
Si Sheng did not speak and stroked his silver hair.
"Winter is coming," he said in a low voice.
Xu Sili suddenly remembered that in the game of the gods, when he controlled the princess to rescue Si Sheng, who was still a slave, it had been winter.
He remembered that it had just snowed in Wang City that day, and it had been very beautiful.
It was that day that he had seen Si Sheng for the first time.
At that time, he was still so weak and small. His clothes did not cover his body, and he was so skinny that he was curled up in a cage with heavy shackles on his wrists and ankles.
Even now, when he thought about it, his heart still ached.
Xu Sili suddenly let go of Si Sheng and slowly pushed him away, then … he held up his right palm.
The man's palm was full of scars and thick calluses. Just like what he had seen before, it was rough and ugly.
Si Sheng lowered his eyebrows and looked at him. Then, he curled up his fingers to cover the ugly scars.
He actually had a way to get rid of those scars.
But the wounds on the soul could never be removed, and he did not want to erase these traces from the past.
Other than the scars left behind when he was a slave, there were also some scars left behind when he was cultivating and fighting after he had been blessed by the gods.
Every time he saw these scars, he would be able to recall the past.
He looked at the young man's eyes that had become gentler.
In fact, after interacting with him, he felt that the gods were somewhat different from what he had imagined.
Perhaps it was because of the change in their positions that the gods were no longer like before, where they were only … a believer that could be discarded at any time.
Si Sheng's hands suddenly clenched into fists. He was immersed in his own thoughts. Suddenly, a pair of slightly cold hands held his fists, and soft fingertips gently pried open his fingers.
One by one, it was as if the walls around his heart were being peeled away.
The darkness in his eyes faded away. He looked at the young man, who lowered his head slightly and gently kissed the scars on his palm.
Then, he looked up, and the gentle starlight reflected in his purple eyes.
"Si Sheng, you have suffered."
Si Sheng once again felt as if something in his heart had been shattered. He opened his mouth, wanting to call him the gods like before …
But in the end, he still stopped.
He didn't dare to take the risk and break the close relationship that they had painstakingly built up.
He had always been very cautious when dealing with the gods that were at the tip of his heart … except for last night.
He looked at the young man and stroked his soft cheeks with his palm. He said in a low voice, "If all those things in the past were so that I could stand by your side and hug you like this, then I would gladly do it."
Xu Sili felt that …
Si Sheng was really good at sweet-talking.
He should have been immune to it after hearing so much, but in fact, looking at his grayish-blue eyes that were like the bright starry sky, he was still moved.
He looked at Si Sheng, suddenly tiptoed, and pecked him on the lips.
Then he said mischievously, "Besides standing by my side and hugging me, you can also kiss me, and …"
He leaned over and whispered two words in his ear.
Si Sheng blinked his eyes, as if he was surprised to hear those two words coming out of his mouth.
But …
He loved this god very much.
He said solemnly, "Are you serious?"
What responded to him was the young man nibbling on his earlobe.
Si Sheng took a deep breath. Without any hesitation, he directly hugged the young man and disappeared on the spot to fulfill his duty as a lover …
The next day, Si Sheng dressed up neatly.
Before leaving, he kissed the young man's snow-white back and looked deeply at his sleeping face. Then he quietly left and boarded the military shuttle that had been on standby.
On the military shuttle, there were a total of 50 Elementalists from the engineering team and 50 from the production team. They had all voluntarily signed up and had already said goodbye to their families and friends.
At this moment, when they saw the dignified and solemn Marshal appear on the military shuttle, they couldn't help but straighten their backs and posture meticulously, wanting to leave an impression in front of the Empire's guardian god.
Si Sheng glanced at everyone one by one. He didn't immediately give any military mobilization or speech, but just a glance was enough to make this group of Elementalists who came from the military feel like they had been injected with chicken blood.
As the guardian god of the Roland Empire, Si Sheng was even more prestigious than the royal family among the people.
This was because he had truly turned the tide at the most critical moment and saved countless lives with his own strength.
Only three years had passed since then, so it wasn't enough time for people to forget this kindness.
"You should know the next task. After arriving at Orchid City, you will begin construction and production. This is related to His Majesty's future plans for the Empire."
Si Sheng opened his mouth and said.
If it was in the past, he wouldn't have bothered to say these things. To him, his mission was only to protect Roland from destruction.
But now, everything was different.
Si Sheng recalled the young man lying on the table, looking at the blueprints and racking his brains to write and draw. He couldn't sit back and watch others trample on his hard work.
"I don't want to see anyone slacking off."
"Do your job well, or else …" He said indifferently.
Although his words were soft, everyone present broke out in cold sweat and didn't dare to look him in the eyes.
This was the pressure of a powerhouse.
After Si Sheng had killed that nine-star beast previously, his level had risen by a few levels, and his strength had officially risen to eight-star.
The Elementalists present were at most half a star, so the difference between the two was like heaven and earth.
Not to mention the admiration they had for Si Sheng, the natural fear and obedience of the weak to the strong made them not dare to disobey Si Sheng's orders.
Si Sheng glanced at everyone and saw that he had intimidated them enough, so he retracted his pressure.
"Let's go."
He said lightly and took the lead to sit in the front row without saying anything else.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Marshal was very scary, they had to admit … he was really too strong.
As expected of the guardian god of the Empire!
The military shuttle slowly took off and headed to the border. It then passed through the barrier of the Guardian Circle and headed to the border even further away.
When they were about to cross the border and enter the dangerous wilderness, Si Sheng didn't let the shuttle stop.
"Continue flying, fly to the sky."
Si Sheng was a man of few words, but the pilot was sweating profusely.
He had never flown out of the border before!
There was no safe route to Orchid City, and people would die!
Looking at the cold face of the Marshal after boarding the shuttle, the pilot finally mustered up his courage and said, "Sir, this won't do … there are flying Interstellar Beasts …"
"Don't worry," Si Sheng said.
The pilot was about to cry, how could he not care?
However, looking at the cold expression of the Marshal, he could only grit his teeth and drive the shuttle into the sky under the shocked gazes of everyone on the ground!
Someone tried to contact the shuttle, but it was too late.
Seeing a group of Interstellar Beasts flying from the distance and about to smash the shuttle into pieces, someone screamed and watched —
The group of flying Interstellar Beasts, who were usually lawless, took a detour?
