VCRMM: Chapter 267

The moment Xu Sili posted the picture, the replies on the post froze for a moment before starting to surge.

[Ahhhhh, absolutely beautiful!]

[Merman Snow, I can accept it!]

[This waist… nosebleed.]

[Suck.]

[I’m satisfied.]

[Ahhh, the sea elf Snow is so amazing. Bigshot, what type of immortal are you? So… where is the face? I want to see the front face!]

[Will 100 more scientists unlock the face of merman Snow?]

[I can do it!]

[Sisters, charge! 100 more!]

[I also want to see Si Sheng and the merman Snow. Slurp slurp.]

Xu Sili took a few glances before temporarily closing the post. They were really… too enthusiastic.

Seeing that they were so motivated, he suspected it wouldn’t be long before he needed to contribute a second picture.

Then when glancing at the dozen or so photos in the folder, he realized that this was information on more than a thousand scientists! It was still a good deal.

Xu Sili closed the forum, took the target scientists’ information, found Dr Ding and told him about the next plan.

“Your Majesty, are you talking about Mr and Mrs Yi Minkang?” Dr Ding asked after looking at the information.

Xu Sili’s eyes lit up. “Do you know them?”

“Yes, our fields overlap. For the couple, one is good at warships and the other is good at mechas. They are both very powerful in their respective fields. It is a pity…”

Dr Ding shook his head with some regret.

“I once suggested to them that it would be best not to get involved in politics, as it would make their research impure. I didn’t expect them to still be dragged into it and even be forced to flee their home nation.”

The couple were very loyal to their motherland. The Flanders Interstellar Federal Academy of Sciences, where he used to work, had repeatedly extended olive branches to them and promised them generous conditions, but they were all rejected.

Who would’ve thought that they would end up leaving their motherland in this way?

Now it was impossible to go back. Once they went back, not only would they lose their freedom in an instant but they would also be sanctioned for treason.

“The last time I heard from them was two years ago. It has been so long now. It might be difficult to find them.”

Dr Ding wondered, “Your Majesty, do you want to recruit them?”

Xu Sili nodded. Hearing Dr Ding’s description, he formed a preliminary good impression of these two scientists.

In any case, patriotism was a good quality.

“Dr Ding, do you have any thoughts on this? What do you think if I recruit them to Roland?”

Dr Ding thought for a moment. “Their professional knowledge is beyond doubt. They are also very nice people. If we have their help, the institute will definitely welcome it.”

“They have fled their planet and probably aren’t doing well now. If Roland is willing to lend a helping hand, it will be timely help to them. In addition, they will be less defensive with me here.”

“The question now is how to find them.”

The motherland of the Yi Minkang couple was also ranked highly in terms of comprehensive strength in the interstellar world. They had always been in the top ten. In recent years, a genius had emerged whose name seemed to be Yu Sen.

He had achieved outstanding results in the Genius Competition for three consecutive seasons, winning a lot of resources for his motherland and promoting the development of his motherland.

This meant that after the Yi Minkang couple fled the nation, it was likely that not many nations or organizations would be willing to take them in.

After all, it was said that they escaped empty-handed and left their previous research results to their motherland. If this was true, their value would be reduced by at least two-thirds.

In addition, there were the rules of the Interstellar Alliance. If a nation wanted to keep them openly, they would have to pay a huge price. Otherwise, as long as their motherland didn’t give up, they would have to be sent back at any time.

According to the couple’s personalities, they would probably choose to remain anonymous. This would make it more difficult to find them.

Xu Sili smiled. “Don’t worry about this. Since you welcome them, I can rest assured.”

“If we run into difficulties, you might have to come forward.”

Xiao Wu being here meant that finding the couple was only a matter of time as long as they didn’t have plastic surgery or lived in a primitive place without any modern technology.

But as scientists, was this possible?

Dr Ding was naturally willing to help. Seeing the young man’s confident look, he couldn’t help feeling a bit of anticipation.

Were his old friends coming too?

As for whether the Roland Empire could keep them or not? He wasn’t worried at all.

Here, they could return to being pure scientists without conflicts of interests, and intrigue. In addition, there were all sorts of magical things. Once they came, they would be reluctant to leave.

Xu Sili received a positive response from Dr Ding and ended the call with satisfaction.

Si Sheng looked at him and asked, “Ah Li, are you planning to go in person?”

Xu Sili blinked. “Where am I going in person?”

“Go pick up the couple.”

It was just like when he went to pick up Old Huo and Aina before.

Hearing this, Xu Sili couldn’t help smiling.

“Let’s go out for a walk. It has been a while since we went out to play.” He looked up at the sky outside the window.

“However, it is too early to say this. Let’s wait until Xiao Wu finds them.”

Half a month ago, Aunt Val had set off again.

Last time, the journey was a bit rushed in order to send the space item materials back as soon as possible.

This time, she planned to visit the nations that had helped Roland in their most difficult time and re-establish diplomatic relations with them.

Moreover, she planned to negotiate with the elementalists who were born on Escher Star and were still wandering outside to see if they were willing to return to Roland.

Based on Roland’s current development momentum, their safety could be guaranteed. Roland could also make a promise to build a main city on Escher Star with the name of their country in the future, just like with Teacher Bazel and the others.

For these elderly people, this might be more attractive than any other benefits.

Xu Sili was very supportive of Aunt Val.

It took three people to make a hero. It was always more beneficial to have more friends.

Moreover, Roland had been away from the interstellar space for too long. Magic civilization might have its strengths, but scientific and technological civilization couldn’t be abandoned. It was necessary to communicate more with other nations to promote development.

As he waited for Xiao Wu to find the people, there were always people pushing up the post on the future forum. Unfortunately, the reward post didn’t give points.

Xu Sili simply posted a picture to the old post. The CP fans who didn’t know about the reward post immediately rushed to do the reward after hearing his call. They joined the base camp for collecting information.

The second batch of 100 scientists was more difficult than the first 100, but there were so many nations in the universe that it wasn’t difficult to gather it together.

This meant it only took five or six days for the players to compile the information of these 100 scientists.

[Oh, knock on the bowl and wait!]

[Sisters are so awesome, so awesome.]

[Ahhh, I want to see merman Snow’s face. It must be absolutely beautiful!]

Xu Sili was also very trustworthy. He confirmed that there was no problem with the information and sent out the second picture.

This was also a photo of him after turning into a merman.

It was taken when he and Si Sheng went to take a hot spring bath. Since it was summer, there were the shadows of trees around them and the nearby bushes were full of flowers.

In the rising white steam, a silver-haired man was sitting in the hot spring pool with his pointed ears showing through his hair.

Steam lingered around his body. They could see the young man’s smooth and beautiful shoulders, the faint lines of his waist and back, and the fish scales that were faintly gleaming in the water.

He turned slightly and looked towards the camera, his beautiful purple eyes shining with a soft light and there was a faint smile on his face.

Beautiful and holy, yet full of seduction.

The moment this picture came out, it once again ignited the enthusiasm of the CP fans and they shouted.

[I still want it ahhhhh!]

[Absolutely.]

[Calmly is my eternal god.]

Xu Sili had already quit the post. It was because every time he saw this photo, he would recall the ridiculous thing he and Si Sheng did in the hot spring pool that day…

He patted his cheeks and prepared to look at something else to divert his attention. Then he saw—

“The reward post next door has collected a lot of information on scientists. Why don’t we…”

Xu Sili was stunned and couldn’t help clicking in.

[I have also paid attention to these scientist NPCs before. I originally wanted to see if I could get a mission from them. Now I feel like I can perform an assassination operation on them?]

[Aren’t there a lot of bounties on scientists on the black market bounty list? I think it is very profitable. I want to play together.]

There were already a lot of people who were agreeing.

For the first time, Xu Sili really saw how murderous the players of the future timeline were.

He was thinking about wooing them, but this group was thinking about assassination.

They didn’t treat NPCs as human beings at all.

Xu Sili couldn’t help sighing. He silently opened his reward post and set the content of the replies to the reward post to be visible only to the original poster.

Then he didn’t care about it any longer and continued to check the information of the newly acquired 100 scientists and screen them.

They might not be as famous as the top 100, but they were also outstanding and were valuable talent resources for Roland.

Time passed in an unhurried manner and Roland’s affairs were developing in an orderly manner.

Finally, two months later, the research institute led by Dr Ding produced the first fixed-point teleporter based on the technology provided by Xu Sili.
