During the time when Chamo returned to the Roland Palace with Sea Song and Grumpy Little Rabbit, Xu Sili was talking to Aunt Val.
Val had reached an agreement with the Sigta Empire. They would sell the materials for making space items to the Roland Empire at a price slightly lower than the market price.
The Roland Empire supplied food, vegetables and other crops to the Sigta Empire. Most importantly, His Majesty Anta hoped to lease the Starry Sky from the Roland Empire.
They had been harassed by the star thieves for a long time. The Starry Sky’s debut that day really shocked the entire Sigta Empire.
All their initial contempt for the Roland Empire had been restrained and they sincerely sought cooperation.
After all, Sigta and Roland had a close relationship. They helped each other solve huge crises and they could be regarded as sharing weal and woe.
In fact, the Sigta Empire originally wanted to propose a purchase, but they also knew the importance of the Starry Sky to the Roland Empire. Then they tragically discovered that the Roland Empire didn’t seem short of money at all.
This nation, which was the poorest in their minds, had transformed and was on par with the Sigta Empire or even better.
After all, in terms of absolute force, the Sigta Empire had no wealth and didn’t have a powerful war machine like the Starry Sky. They couldn’t be compared to the Roland Empire at all.
Regarding the Starry Sky, Val couldn’t make a decision. Thus, she contacted Xu Sili and started discussing it with him.
Xu Sili also hadn’t expected the Sigta Empire to set its sights on the Starry Sky.
Not only did they propose a large amount to rent it, but they also took the initiative to sell the raw materials of the space items at a 10% discount.
Xu Sili wasn’t short of money but he still needed the raw materials from the Sigta Empire. It was impossible to rob them. On the one hand, he was embarrassed. On the other hand, there was no need to make another enemy.
Xu Sili pondered on it for a moment. Then he called Xiao Wu through the light curtain.
“Brother, what’s the matter?”
A small robot emerged on the light curtain. Xu Sili keenly noticed that his image had changed a bit.
The original black-gray body seemed to have a layer of paint on it, turning it silver-white. There were also some parts decorated with blue-gray, but his appearance didn’t change much.
“Xiao Wu changed into new clothes?” Xu Sili asked with a smile.
Hearing this, the little robot seemed to be very happy. He turned around in a circle and said, “Brother, you discovered it~”
“Yes, your new clothes are beautiful.”
Xiao Wu laughed while looking a bit shy.
Xu Sili teased him for a while before getting back to business. He asked about the current progress of the renovation of the newly purchased spaceship.
“The small spaceship has almost been modified, but due to size and performance issues, it can’t be as powerful as the Starry Sky. The improvement plan is still being calculated and studied.”
Xu Sili’s eyes lit up as he listened to the report.
It was impossible to lend the Starry Sky, but these small ships were possible. It was just…
“Can they deal with the warships of the pirates?”
“Five small spaceships form a team. This can barely reach the combat effectiveness of the Starry Sky.”
Xu Sili nodded before continuing to discuss the matter with Aunt Val.
Val couldn’t help being a bit surprised when she heard that Roland had added five powerful small spaceships.
But she soon rejoiced.
Hadn’t they been striving for the Roland Empire to become strong and wealthy?
Next, Xu Sili handed over the matter to Val, who had just returned to being the eldest princess and who had become the first diplomat of the Roland Empire.
This was something she had been doing all along and what she was good at.
In addition to the above, she was also preparing to have more in-depth cooperation with the Sigta Empire, such as talent cultivation, technical exchanges etc. However, these were all follow-up matters.
It was only when the first round of cooperation was successfully completed that they could continue talking about this.
Once the two of them ended the call, Xu Sili received a message from Chamo.
He couldn’t help raise an eyebrow when he saw that they had discovered a new sea elf on the beach of Glass Sea City.
If he guessed correctly, this ‘sea elf’ should be a player who drew a rare race account before, right?
He had seen information about the sea elves in posts on the future forum. These players were quite miserable.
Due to the harsh marine environment, they simply couldn’t survive on the seabed. They could only come ashore through painstaking means of death, resurrection and death again.
Due to their identity as sea elves, it was difficult for them to receive tasks in land cities. They also faced the pursuit of some players.
What was even more amazing was that in the timeline of the future forum, in the first few years, there was no service for deleting accounts and starting again.
Therefore, these players could either continue playing or abandon the game. They could only choose one of the two.
They only had their moment to shine when humans eliminated the interstellar beasts on land and headed for the sea. Those who could persevere were basically gods.
Xu Sili couldn’t help feeling curious. What would the first merfolk player who swam ashore be like?
He had read the post and found it quite sad.
After all, the sea wasn’t land. Once they died, not only would they be eaten by sea beasts but they would also be carried everywhere else by sea currents.
Seeing Chamo say that he would take the person to find Niya for treatment, Xu Sili thought for a while. He didn’t want to make it so formal, so he called Si Sheng and went directly to Joan’s bedroom.
After Joan left, Sea Song and Chamo still lived there.
The moment he and Si Sheng arrived outside the bedroom, Xu Sili faintly heard a childish voice singing ‘Sprouting.’
It was Sea Song.
As a member of the sea elf royal family, he had talents in water and music. In terms of music, Xu Sili taught him some skills. He could be considered half a teacher.
Listening to this children’s version of Sprouting, Xu Sili could vaguely feel some sound power in it.
It was just that it was still too weak and couldn’t fully stimulate the vitality contained in the song Sprouting. He was unable to form an effective skill.
However, this usage was already very good for a three or four year old child.
Xu Sili and Si Sheng followed the singing and arrived outside Sea Song’s room. They happened to see Chamo opening the door and walking out.
“Your Majesty…”
Chamo was about to salute when Xu Sili stopped him.
Xu Sili used his spiritual power to scan the room.
He saw a boy with black hair and black eyes sitting on the bed. He looked around 15 or 16 years old. His face was a bit pale but he seemed to be in good spirits.
Xu Sili used Insight on him.
This was indeed a player. His health bar was full but there was a ‘weak’ debuff that hadn’t been removed. His health was still being lost every second.
Sea Song was sitting next to him, little hand pressed on the back of his hand. Sea Song was babbling and singing, not noticing their snooping.
Xu Sili withdrew his gaze and looked at Chamo.
Chamo smiled. “Originally, I wanted to take him to see Your Majesty after he was healed. I didn’t expect Your Majesty to come in person.”
He felt that Xu Sili attached great importance to the sea elves, or rather, to him—
After all, there had been the incident with the forest elves before. Chamo could sense the difference between the two races.
This young emperor could value him. Chamo agreed with this sentiment. He originally planned to leave after the sea elf matter was resolved, but now…
He thought maybe he could reconsider it.
“Sea Song is very happy.” Chamo glanced at the room, smiled slightly and added, “He values this fellow clan member very much.”
After all, this might be his only clan member…
Xu Sili nodded. He looked at Chamo again and said, “People are working overtime to produce the underwater breathing potion. Teacher Aina is also studying the production of submarines.”
“It won’t be long before I will be able to fulfill my promise to you to send people to the sea elves to find out what is going on. The problem is…”
“After so many years, do you remember how to get to the sea elf clan?”
Chamo nodded. “Your Majesty, you can rest assured. I have a solution.”
“That’s fine.”
Xu Sili responded, “At that time, I will send 500 braves with a strength of over three and a half stars to follow you to the sea elf clan. If you need to increase or decrease the number of people, just tell me.”
“Your Majesty and Marshal Si Sheng, don’t you plan to go?” Chamo suddenly asked.
Xu Sili shrugged.
“I’ll wait until the submarine is made.”
The bottom of the sea sounded unreliable at first glance. He wasn’t a player who could be resurrected, and safety was more important.
They chattered outside and the singing in the room stopped. Sea Song ran to the door of the room, pushed the door open a crack and poked out his little fluffy head.
“Imperial Brother!”
His eyes were sparkling and full of joy.
Xu Sili bent down and picked him up. They walked into the room together. As they walked, the little child was still chattering. “Imperial Brother, I picked up Little Rabbit on the beach. He is inside!”
“He is one of my people. I have to protect him.”
“Imperial Brother, can Little Rabbit live here? I… I can help him pay his rent!”
Grumpy Little Rabbit was leaning against the head of the bed. His eyes widened when he saw the silver-haired young man walking in from outside and the blond-haired marshal behind him.
During the countless times he waited for resurrection, he relied on the forum. Even though he had never walked on land, he knew everything about the two of them.
Was he dreaming?
The leader of the faction actually came to see him in person!
Then he felt a bit moved in his heart when he heard Sea Song say that he was going to pay his rent.
He had relatively little contact with NPCs, but Sea Song and Chamo made him feel like they were real people. In particular, Prince Sea Song was as caring as a little angel.
That night, he faithfully updated all of these things in his post.
First of all, he thanked the players who tried to rush to the beach to rescue him during the day. Then he posted pictures while sharing his encounter with Sea Song and Chamo.
Now the other players were extremely envious.
[His Majesty Snow came to talk to you in person? Isn’t this really great?]
[Ahhhh, Si Sheng is still so handsome!]
[Little Prince Sea Song is too cute.]
[F*k, so Panda will live directly in the palace? Blue Mark didn’t receive such treatment back then!]
Lan Xiaoyin, who was reading the post, couldn’t help having a dark expression.
Just read the post. Why bother to step on him? At this time, Grumpy Little Rabbit posted a new update.
Panda Breeder: [Wow, I just met the elf queen! She gave me a leaf from the Tree of Life!]
Lan Xiaoyin: “???”
[I don’t accept it!!!!!]
