Chapter 282
Wang Ling and Yi Minkang, like Xu Sili at the beginning, fell into a long state of shock and panic after being turned into cards.
Any ordinary person would collapse if they suddenly became 2D and had their body tightly locked up, unable to move anything except the head and unable to speak.
In addition, Si Sheng was very aloof and didn’t explain to them. After turning the two of them into cards, he put them away and used the communicator to contact Xu Sili.
The Roland Imperial Palace.
Xu Sili received the message from Si Sheng and summoned him immediately.
In fact, he also wanted to go to an alien planet to play, but the fixed-point teleporter could only transmit in one direction. It was easy to go out but difficult to come back.
Only players could be reborn through the resurrection point and quickly returned to Roland. Si Sheng could also be summoned back.
At this moment, everything was going well on Bewatt Star.
Players gradually completed the pre-missions and were sent to Bewatt through the fixed-point teleporter.
According to his understanding, there was no way to add other players to the system backpack, no matter what form the player had become. It was prohibited, no matter whether they were a corpse or in another form.
However, this didn’t pose a problem for players who were good at using the rules.
The proportion of warriors among players was low, but there were still more than 100,000 or 200,000 people due to the large player base.
Some people found players who had completed the previous missions. They transformed into various weapons, branches and other inanimate objects and asked the players to carry them on their bodies.
Once the player was teleported over as a corpse, these warriors would be unaffected by the resurrection time and could instantly transform back, protecting the carrier in turn.
This mutually beneficial team model quickly became popular among the players.
Xu Sili didn’t care much after finding out about this loophole.
The Bewatt Empire was an irreconcilable hostile camp. Bewatt Star was a truly unrestricted wild map where players could play however they wanted.
He believed that as long as there was nothing wrong with the player’s brain, no player would betray Roland for the Bewatt camp. But even if they did, it wouldn’t have a large impact on the Roland Empire at the moment.
It was because they could only betray by going to Bewatt Star. Once they betrayed, they could no longer use the resurrection point to resurrect and return to Escher Star.
To be honest, Xu Sili was quite interested in the natives of Bewatt Star. Now players had gathered in Bet City in large numbers.
According to his second brother, they were planning to use the desert as a starting point, unite with the natives to build a stronghold, and gradually expand to the surrounding areas to recover the native race’s habitat.
He had to say that players could always find the fun of the game on their own.
The only thing that surprised Xu Sili was that his older brother, Xu Fengqing, didn’t return to the Roland Empire immediately after destroying the administrative center of the lizardmen.
He was currently still on Bewatt Star but no one knew what he was doing.
However, this was also the Starry Sky Age that belonged to his oldest brother. Xu Sili only asked Xiao Wu to take care of him and didn’t interfere any longer.
He hoped that his brother, who had been working hard for the family, could also find his own fun in the game.
His summoning was quickly responded to. A white light appeared in front of him before Si Sheng appeared before him.
“Welcome back.”
Xu Sili went forward and hugged him.
Si Sheng touched the top of his head and whispered, “The mission was successfully completed.”
He took out two cards as he spoke.
Xu Sili stretched out his hand to take it and flipped it over to take a look.
On the cards, two top scientists who would play an important role in the future were staring at him with wide eyes and bewildered expressions. It was as if their three views had collapsed.
“Dr Wang, Dr Yi, welcome to the Roland Empire!”
Then he threw the cards into the air. Once they reached the highest point, the cards started to glow. Finally, the light converged into two human shapes.
The light faded and Wang Ling and Yi Minkang appeared.
The two of them still maintained the posture they were in when they were turned into cards. They looked a bit funny. Then they soon reacted and held each other’s hands while looking around.
This was the main hall of the Roland Imperial Palace. There was a silver-haired young man dressed in gorgeous clothes. Behind him was the imperial throne placed on the stone steps.
It seemed as if they had traveled through space and time in the blink of an eye, from the high-tech interstellar age to another civilization in a completely different style.
“You are… His Majesty Roland?”
Wang Ling was the first to wake up. She controlled the ups and downs of her emotions when she saw the familiar silver-haired young man and asked softly.
“That’s right, Dr Wang.”
Xu Sili smiled slightly. “No, you should be called Dean Wang now.”
Wang Ling opened her mouth and hesitated to speak. “Your Majesty Roland, we just..”
Xu Sili couldn’t help glancing at Si Sheng. He knew that with Si Sheng’s personality, this person probably didn’t give an explanation. Xu Sili could only say, “It is just a little trick I used to bring the two of you back.”
Wang Ling was very curious about what this ‘little trick’ was. She even suspected that she was having a hallucination. However, the changed environment around her told her that everything was real.
“So this is…”
“The Roland Empire. You have left Bazt Star and the planet you are on now is Roland’s territory, Escher Star,” Xu Sili explained patiently.
Wang Ling suspected that there was something wrong with her perception of time. She felt that she was still on Bazt Star a few minutes ago. It shouldn’t have been long since she was turned into a card…
“Excuse me, Your Majesty. What is the date now?”
Xu Sili’s lips curved slightly. “You can check your communicators.”
Yi Minkang had already lowered his head to look. Then he raised his head with some difficulty and said hesitantly, “I think my communicator is broken.”
Escher Star was two star systems away from Bazt Star. It would take at least two or three months to reach them by interstellar travel.
And now?
Less than 20 minutes had passed since Si Sheng showed up at their house!
This… this was even more shocking than the lord using special medical methods to cure him.
After all, there were all types of strange creatures in the universe. Perhaps there really were treatments that science hadn’t discovered yet. But this… already involved the issue of ultra-long-distance life transmission.
This was a problem that even the Interstellar Alliance hadn’t been able to solve!
Xu Sili couldn’t help laughing. He raised his hand and operated the communicator. Then a light screen appeared, showing the time.
It was exactly the same as the one on Yi Minkang and his wife’s communicator.
Now the two of them finally believed that their communicator wasn’t broken but… how was this done?
“Your Majesty…”
Wang Ling was just about to ask but was stopped by Xu Sili.
“I know what you are curious about, but I can’t answer you for now. Let’s talk about it later.”
Wang Ling and Yi Minkang looked at each other and fell silent in tacit understanding.
After all, they had just arrived and hadn’t made any contribution or demonstrated their value. How could they ask Roland to share such confidential matters with them?
“Your Majesty, thank you for curing my husband’s illness. As we agreed on the Star Network, I am willing to be loyal to Roland and build mechas for you.”
Wang Ling expressed her loyalty once again.
Xu Sili nodded with satisfaction. “Yes. Welcome, Dean Wang! I believe that the Roland Empire won’t let you down!”
Then he looked at Si Sheng and asked, “Where is Dean Ding?”
Dr Ding Mingyu had gone with Si Sheng in order to convince the couple.
Si Sheng paused. Then he nodded calmly, took out Dr Ding’s card and released him from the card.
This wasn’t the first time Dr Ding had seen cards. Moreover, he had been exposed to all types of magical things in the Roland Empire and had the strong ability to adapt to them. Thus, he was very calm.
He came out of the card and met Yi Minkang and his wife. He wanted to persuade them to work for Roland as agreed with Xu Sili. But…
Hey, wasn’t this Roland’s Imperial Palace?
Si Sheng coughed lightly, looked away and pretended he knew nothing.
In any case, he had brought the people back successfully, right?
As Dr Ding was confused, Wang Ling spoke first. “Old Ding? It is really you!”
Yi Minkang also hurried forward to greet this respected old man.
But… he couldn’t help saying, “I haven’t seen you for a few years. You seem to have become younger?”
Dr Ding couldn’t help laughing when he heard this. The leaf of the Tree of Life given to him by Xu Sili meant his training had become more efficient.
Only one month later, he had become a half star elementalist and successfully learned to control the earth elements and combine it to the shape he wanted.
However, the earth elements that could be controlled were still very limited.
“Xiao Kang, Xiao Ling, it is just like I told you in the letter. Roland is an empire full of miracles!”
Dr Ding added, “I will explain it to you later.”
He looked at Xu Sili and said respectfully, “Your Majesty, what should they do next?”
Xu Sili said, “You will take charge of them. Dr Wang will serve as the deputy director of the institute and will work with you on mecha-related research.”
“Okay, Your Majesty.” Dr Ding nodded and agreed.
Yi Minkang was still listening attentively to the arrangements regarding himself, but when he realized that their conversation was ending like this, he quickly asked, “Your Majesty, what about me?”
“You should take care of yourself first. The light healing technique might’ve cured your illness, but your body is still very weak.”
He had just used Insight to see that Yi Minkang’s upper limit on his health was much lower than that of ordinary people. His illness had still caused great damage to his body.
However, scientific research often cost lives and he didn’t want to exhaust all the resources. In any case, as for the warships, he had Xiao Wu. There was no rush for the time being.
“I will send a water healer to the institute to take care of your body. Once you have fully recovered, Dean Ding will arrange work for you according to the situation.”
It wasn’t just Yi Minkang, but also Wang Ling who was deeply moved by Xu Sili’s words.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Xu Sili waved his hand. He sent them away and asked the guards to escort them back to the research institute.
Along the way, the presence of the guards meant that Yi Minkang and his wife didn’t dare to communicate much with Dr Ding.
It wasn’t until they boarded the shuttle that they felt that the world had returned to normal.
Right! This was the world they were familiar with!
Roland shouldn’t have anything else that shocked them to the point of being speechless, right?
Then…
They saw Dr Ding take out a small piece of soil from his pocket and place it on the table in front of him. Then he closed his eyes.
After around two minutes, the soil started to move on its own! Finally, it turned into a little person and waved to them!
