VCRMM: Chapter 213

Originally, Val was quite confident in her ability to make money.

Roland was once impoverished and the alliance’s assistance was limited. It was due to her hard work that she was able to win more things.

For example, the spaceship that was destroyed in the beast wave, the network base station that Roland was still using…

Even after she fell into a coma, the connections she worked hard to develop allowed Roland to continue for ten years and pay at least the 10 million Interstellar Alliance fee every year.

But now, looking at the long list of numbers added to the account, Val couldn’t help having doubts about herself.

Had the cosmic coins depreciated?

But if the cosmic coins depreciated, there must be some serious turmoil in the interstellar world. It was impossible for Ding Mingyu not to mention such a major event to her at all.

If there was no depreciation… where did Snow get such a large amount of cosmic coins? This obviously couldn’t be an interstellar donation.

At this time, her communicator vibrated again.

Val looked down.

Snow: [Auntie, the interstellar bank has a limit on single day transfers. I will transfer the rest to you tomorrow.]

Val, “……”

In fact, Xu Sili originally wanted to hand over the bearer card to her directly. However, the spaceship had already departed. There was no need for it to fly back for this matter.

In any case, transferring it was the same thing. He could leave it to Xiao Wu to ensure that he didn’t forget it the next day.

As for Val’s doubts about the money, he explained it to her as he had to Bazel and added a bit more.

Snow: [In addition to the base of the Flaming Fox, I also run a small store in the Star Net community. The income is okay.]

Val listened to his explanation and finally understood.

She had stayed at the Flaming Fox base for more than half a year.

She wasn’t able to wake up but she was actually conscious during her coma. Therefore, she felt greatly relieved that Xu Sili had robbed them.

As for the small store he mentioned, Val didn’t think much of it.

This only made her feel that Snow was more open-minded and thoughtful than his stubborn father. It also made her more confident about the future of the empire.

It was only in the near future, when she accidentally learned that the ‘little store’ he mentioned was actually the most famous brand in the interstellar world, Fox’s House, that Val realized how naive she was in this moment.

Of course, this was all a story for the future.

The interstellar procurement team set sail smoothly. Xu Sili was able to set his worries aside for the time being.

With Xiao Wu’s intelligence system, it was only a matter of time before Val collected all the supplies. The only thing he could do was pray that they didn’t encounter any danger.

Of course, the Starry Sky’s firepower couldn’t be underestimated.

In the past few months since returning to Roland, Xiao Wu hadn’t stopped modifying the Starry Sky. From the outside, it might just be an ordinary civilian spaceship.

But when it bared its fangs, not even military warships could expect to gain an advantage in front of it.

Xiao Wu had also obtained Xu Sili’s permission. Every time there was a threat to the safety of Val and Joan, he could use any weapon on the Starry Sky.

Val naturally also knew about Xiao Wu’s existence.

She didn’t have any resistance to intelligent life. Once she knew that Xiao Wu’s real age was less than one year ago, she was full of love for him.

This was probably the first time Xiao Wu had experienced the feeling of maternal love.

The small intelligent life was growing very quickly. It was less than a year since his birth, but his emotional cognition was already equivalent to the level of a five or six year old human child.

Xiao Wu liked Val very much. He also got along well with Joan.

Joan had always wanted a younger brother. Now he had fulfilled this wish in disguise. He had been happy every day since finding out.

Xiao Wu could be recognized and loved by everyone. This was also what Xu Sili hoped to see the most.

Seeing the spaceship disappear into the sky, Xu Sili and Si Sheng returned to the palace.

The beast wave still hadn’t subsided, but with the efforts of players and NPCs, the scale of the beast wave was shrinking at a relatively stable rate. Exciting news came every day.

Most importantly, there had been no casualties yet.

Injuries were definitely inevitable, but there was hope as long as they didn’t die. There was hope. With Roland’s current level of medical care, basically any injury could be cured.

Ordinary injuries could be cured with water healing and light healing. Broken limbs could also be cured with the most advanced biological repair cabin in the interstellar world.

To put it bluntly, relying on these three things and the life-saving health medicine, Roland’s medical conditions could definitely rank among the top five in the interstellar world.

In fact, the top five was a conservative statement.

However, a person’s talent would arouse the jealousy of others. Roland didn’t have the strength to make a big splash at the moment, so…

They should still keep a low profile.

That night, Xu Sili felt he could finally sleep well. But—

He sat cross-legged on the bed, holding a pillow in his arms.

Behind him, Si Sheng hugged him tightly. He rested his chin on Xu Sili’s head while staring at the air in front of him.

The small video playing in the air not only had images, but also sounds. What was even more excessive was that someone had turned up the volume to the maximum.

Xu Sili blushed.

It was only after watching the video that he realized he was like this when he was sleeping with Si Sheng…

He turned his head slightly and saw Si Sheng’s focused profile.

With his serious look, it was hard to believe that what he was watching was a short video and not some learning research report.

“What is so interesting about this video…?”

Xu Sili couldn’t help muttering. It was outrageous to force him to watch it together every night.

Unexpectedly, Si Sheng looked down after hearing this. His gray-blue eyes curved and he smiled softly. “Improve my technique.”

Xu Sili, “???”

Then that night, Si Sheng put his research results from this period into practice. It allowed Xu Sili to truly feel his progress.

So, with a partner who was so motivated, what else could he do besides cry from happiness?

“Your Highness Xenos, would you like to rest for a while?”

Qiu Zheng raised his head and looked over the piles of documents at the silver-haired man sitting opposite him.

He was sitting by the window. The light filtered in from the open window, bathing his whole body in the sunshine. He looked so peaceful and beautiful that no one could bear to disturb him.

His Highness Xenos had just returned. Apart from hearing his deeds, Qiu Zheng had never seen him before.

He was originally just a small adjutant. If he hadn’t been promoted by the marshal and His Majesty, he wouldn’t have been able to reach his current official position, let alone come into contact with members of the imperial family every day.

In fact, according to the rules, His Highness should use a separate office in line with his status instead of crowding together with them like now.

But the prince said that he liked the excitement and didn’t want to do things alone in a room. He also refused to sit on the main seat, so he had the table and chairs moved to the window as soon as he arrived.

In that seat, he could receive the sunlight for most of the day.

They could also feel that whenever he was bathed in bright light, His Highness’ mood would become more cheerful. A shallow smile would appear on his face.

In general, this was an adult who looked cold and detached on the outside. In fact, he had a quiet and gentle temperament. He was very easy to get along with.

Qiu Zheng was also very happy. He finally had a person he could really talk to about government affairs. He didn’t have to live in fear every day.

Therefore, he was very concerned about His Highness’ health.

After all, His Highness’ body seemed to be too thin and he often needed a wheelchair to move around. Otherwise, with his walking speed, he might have to live directly in the government affairs hall.

It was estimated that it would take the entire morning to get here from his bedroom.

Xenos raised his head from the documents, saw Qiu Zheng’s slightly concerned eyes and smiled. “It’s okay. I will wait until these are processed before resting.”

Seeing his persistence, Qiu Zheng couldn’t say anything else.

The hall was quiet again, save for the flipping of paper and the occasional clinking of cups.

Xenos intently reviewed the documents at hand.

These trivial government affairs were troubles in Xu Sili’s eyes, but in Xenos’ opinion, they were the most powerful means to understand the operation of the entire country and to manage and rule.

He had only been in office for a few days, but he had already gained a general understanding of Roland’s current situation through this information.

Therefore, he also clearly felt the earth-shaking changes that Snow had brought to this country.

The reform of the Elementalist Academy, putting the local elementalists to work in production and construction, the construction of the five major city teleportation circles, the lifting of the elementalist star-level seal, the return of elementalist instructors with a high star level…

One by one, he was shocked every time he understood a bit more.

These changes also allowed Xenos to finally understand why Snow was so confident in the face of the upcoming beast wave.

The trump card he relied on wasn’t just the braves with magical abilities, but the strength he firmly grasped in his hand and was truly improving every day!

Once he looked inside, Xenos couldn’t think of resting at all.

It was really exciting!

He just wanted to know more and see what other changes occurred in Roland during the four years he was gone.

Due to his physical condition, he couldn’t go to the front line yet. Now he had changed his mind.

Managing and building this country well and letting the national machinery run might be more useful than going to the front lines to kill a few more interstellar beasts.

He also saw that Snow had many fantastic ideas, but when put into practice, the means and methods were a bit rough.

He needed someone to refine those ideas so that they could truly play a role. This was what Wen Jishan and the others had been doing.

Xenos didn’t know if he could keep up with their train of thought, but he wanted to try. This would help him find his own path again.

He had long stopped thinking of the throne, even if his body was recovered now.

Therefore, he needed to find his position in the nation again to better contribute to the revival of Roland.

Xenos was so oblivious that he didn’t notice the changes around him until…

A furry cloak fell on his shoulders.

He woke up and instinctively raised his head. The moment he saw the man’s familiar figure, his blank expression was instantly replaced by a bright smile.

“Fengqing!”

He said happily, “Why are you here?”

Xu Fengqing frowned slightly.

“I came to see you.”

Then he looked at the open window and asked, “Aren’t you cold sitting here?”

Only then did Xenos realize that the sun had set before he knew it. A chilly wind blew in from the outside. It was indeed a bit cold.

In the main hall, several other administrators had already left, probably to rest. Now he was the only one remaining.

He tightened the cloak around his shoulders and said with some embarrassment, “It seems to be a bit cold.”

Xu Fengqing shook his head, walked to the window and helped him close it to block out the night breeze.

“Have you eaten?”

He looked back at the man.

After a few days of not seeing each other, his face was rosier and he still felt weak. Looking at the mountain of documents on the desk, he frowned even more.

For some reason, Xenos always felt that Fengqing was much more majestic than his father. He couldn’t help shrinking back a bit every time he saw the dark expression and frowning face.

However, he was very happy when he heard that Fengqing came to see him.

“Not yet. Do you want to have dinner together?”

Xenos smiled and said, “I’ll let people prepare it.”

“I’ve already eaten.”

Xu Fengqing went online after having dinner with his parents. He had been busy with the experience store these days. It was only today that he could finally breathe and take a rest.

He went online and first went to see Xiao Li. Then he came to Xenos.

Xenos was a bit disappointed after hearing that he had already eaten. Then he saw the man reach out, neatly put aside the documents on the desk, and wipe the desk carefully with a cloth.

Xenos looked at him in a confused manner.

Immediately afterward, he saw Fengqing take out a cake, a few plates of snacks, and a pot of tea.

Xu Fengqing cut a small piece of cake, placed it in front of him and poured him a cup of hot tea.

“You should eat something to fill your stomach first.”

Xenos looked up at him and finally couldn’t help laughing. He said, “Okay.”

There was a knife and fork on the small plate beside him, but he didn’t use them. Instead, he took out a beautifully packaged small box.

Xu Fengqing watched him open the box. Inside was a crudely made wooden spoon, which seemed a bit out of place with the small box.

“This spoon…”

Was it the one he made in the tree hole?

Xenos smiled, took a bite of the soft cake with his spoon, and said softly, “This is my exclusive wooden spoon. I only use it when eating the most delicious food.”

He didn’t like sweets before. He had stayed away from sweet and greasy things like cakes.

But after everything he experienced, he found that his tastes seemed to have changed. The cake in front of him was so delicious that it brought some comfort to his empty stomach.

Xu Fengqing looked at him silently.

After a long time, he looked away. He dragged a chair over from the side, picked up the documents on the desk and started to look through them.

Xenos didn’t stop it. These weren’t secrets. What’s more, Fengqing was from a reclusive ancient beast clan. He might not be able to understand it, right?

Then by the time he finished the small plate of cake, the man already had a stack of reviewed documents by his hand.

Xenos took it and looked at them. Then he found…

Fengqing handled it quite well?
