Xu Sili always did what he thought. He ordered the latest version of the gaming cabin from the Interstellar Alliance that day, and it arrived the next day.
Soon, under his guidance, Xenos entered the Star Network space. Before he started to explore, he received a huge sum of money.
[You have received a transfer from His Majesty Roland. It is a total of 1,000,000 cosmic coins. Please check it.]
Xenos might’ve been trapped underground for four or five years, but he had come into contact with alien civilizations before that. He was more aware of the value of cosmic coins.
Therefore, even someone as calm as him was stunned when he received such a payment.
Xenos carefully counted the zeros after the ‘1.’ He made sure that there was no mistake and was even more shocked.
How did the emperor have so many cosmic coins?
He frowned and was about to return it when a new message alert popped up.
His Majesty Roland: [Imperial Brother, I transferred some pocket money to you. Please use it first. If it isn’t enough, tell me.]
Xenos looked at his profile picture.
This was the symbol of the Roland Empire, the glory and responsibility engraved in his blood since childhood.
He pursed his lips and didn’t pay attention to the ‘pocket money’ given by his brother. Instead, he typed a reply.
[His Majesty, this is… Father’s account?]
Xu Sili was stunned when he received the reply.
He hadn’t expected Xenos to actually guess it… but he shouldn’t know about the little games of the late emperor, right?
Xu Sili touched his chin and finally decided to maintain the dignity of the late emperor. Then he threw an invitation to Xenos.
[His Majesty Roland invites you to enter the virtual room. Do you want to go?]
Under the guidance of the navigation AI, Xenos clicked to confirm.
Xu Sili’s virtual room hadn’t changed much compared to before. Some of the previous emperor’s arrangements had been retained, and a second floor had been added to make it easier to do some private things.
After Xenos came to the virtual room, he couldn’t help marveling at the power of interstellar humans who could make the illusion so real. It was so real that there wasn’t a single flaw.
The moment he arrived, he saw the silver-haired young man standing behind the bar, mixing something. In front of the bar…
Xenos was stunned when he saw the blond-haired young man.
“Marshal Si Sheng?”
He called out hesitantly.
At this moment, Si Sheng had taken off the white fox mask. His figure remained the same as when he was 18 or 19 years old. He was steady yet a bit immature. He looked much gentler than he usually was.
Si Sheng looked at him, stood up and saluted. “Your Highness.”
“Oh, there is no need.”
Xenos quickly suppressed his surprise. He walked over and came to the bar.
Xu Sili had already prepared a cup of milk tea and gently placed it in front of him, saying, “This is a new product that we just developed. Why don’t you try it, Imperial Brother?”
Xenos looked at the glass in front of him. He saw the beautiful liquid inside and hesitantly picked it up.
He couldn’t help sighing once he really tasted it. “This alien technology… seems to be called science and technology. It is indeed very powerful.”
He could no longer tell whether this was an illusion or reality. This place called the virtual world could simulate not only hearing and vision, but even touch, smell and taste.
And…
“Marshal Si Sheng, why do you…” Xenos chose his words carefully. “You seem to be a few years younger?”
“On the Star Network, you can freely adjust your appearance,” Xu Sili said with a smile. “You can do almost anything on the Star Network as long as you have money.”
Then he explained some basic knowledge and rules of the Star Network to Xenos.
As the eldest son of the emperor, Xenos had been studying hard before he came of age. At that time, there was only one gaming cabin in the entire empire. Due to some special reasons of the late emperor, he had never been to the Star Network since he was a child.
He had spent all his adult life on the front lines, so he naturally had less time to understand these things.
Xenos listened very carefully. He had always been a rigorous and hardworking person. As Xu Sili explained more, he realized his previous lack of knowledge about the interstellar world.
Finally, Xu Sili said, “Our lives will get better and better. The empire will become stronger, and sooner or later, we will completely recover all the territories of Escher Star.”
“It will be too late if we wait until then to understand the other planets.”
“After all, we have joined the Interstellar Alliance. This is a precious resource left by pioneers for future generations. We must make good use of it. With the help of this platform, we can understand the power of the universe and prevent possible dangers.”
He said seriously, “Now that you have some free time, you should take the time to visit the Star Network every day and learn the interstellar universal language as soon as possible.”
Xenos knew that everyone in Roland was promoting the interstellar universal language and had entered the stage of universal learning.
Certain results had been achieved so far.
He was also learning, but it was difficult to master the skills without the right environment. Writing was even more impossible.
His mood became solemn. He pursed his lips and said, “Your Majesty, I understand.”
“I will study hard on the Star Network and not let you down!”
Looking at his serious expression, Xu Sili suddenly felt that he had been too much just now.
However, Xenos had already taken the initiative to ask, “How do I enter the Star Network community you just mentioned?”
Xu Sili touched his chin.
He looked at Xenos and said, “I’ll take you to Area F first. That is where there are the most newcomers. There are a lot of aliens who just connected to the Internet. You won’t be easily bullied there.”
Xenos heard this and couldn’t help becoming nervous. “Will it be dangerous to enter this Area F?”
“It isn’t that dangerous. Our consciousness is connected to the device and the Star Network has many protection measures. The most that can happen is that we will be forced to go offline.”
What’s more, there was Xiao Wu. How could Xenos be in danger?
Xenos nodded, but remained on guard.
As Xu Sili was instructing him on how to enter the community, he said, “Don’t be too nervous. Everyone’s identity is protected on the Star Network. Even if you have a conflict with someone, you can still continue playing by changing your username.”
Of course, before entering the community, Xu Sili bought a silver fox mask for Xenos.
After teaching the basic operations to Xenos, Xu Sili ignored him and only had Xiao Wu follow him.
He and Si Sheng went to watch the Genius Competition.
The competition had been going on for nearly a year and was finally coming to an end. Just based on the popularity attracted by this competition and the tickets earned, Xu Sili felt that the Interstellar Alliance had made its money back.
Si Sheng’s side account was still at the top of the rankings, but it was ultimately calculated based on team points. The people in the Free Alliance generally weren’t ranked high.
Therefore, it was hard to say whether they could get a reward after winning.
However, in this competition, there was Si Sheng’s promotion of the Fox House. Advertising was required for every game and Xu Sili was sure to make a profit.
Later on, many players followed his example. Unfortunately, without the aura of the best player, their ability to sell goods was always a bit worse.
In order to curb the players’ private promotion of products, the Interstellar Alliance even came up with the dirty trick of mosaicing the products to cover up the manufacturer’s logo. However, this trick didn’t affect Si Sheng.
It was because everyone knew that this powerful, number one genius only promoted the Fox House. His fox mask was the best signboard.
As he was about to log off after watching the game, Xu Sili and Si Sheng learned about Xenos’ actions. They found that he wasn’t dazzled by the outside world. Instead, he had signed up for several training courses and was currently attending classes.
The problem was that these training classes were for children aged five or six…
Xu Sili imagined the scene, shook his head and ignored it.
This was Xenos’ own decision.
He had no power to interfere, so let Xenos open his eyes and see the universe in his own way.
Next, Xu Sili gradually upgraded the other main cities to lv 4.
The other main cities were always one level lower than Imperial City. Now with the teleportation circle, the impact on elementalists was much smaller. Elementalists from each main city could go to Imperial City to break through without being restricted by level restrictions.
The upgrades of these main cities had the most far-reaching impact on the environment and ordinary people.
In order to speed up the pace of breakthroughs and upgrades, Xu Sili issued more missions that told players to go to wild maps to open up new areas.
However, the effect was average. It was because the remaining wild maps were relatively dangerous. Novice players basically wouldn’t go there and the old players… some were busy building, some were busy exploring various ways to play in the main city, and some were in the underwater world.
However, the recovery of the underwater world should also be included.
Just as Xu Sili was feeling a bit melancholy, the little sprite and Ms Aina brought him good news one month later—
The artificial satellite was finally able to go online!
