Xu Sili happily hung up the call and looked at Si Sheng next to him.
“What is it?”
Si Sheng blinked in confusion.
Xu Sili grinned and said maliciously, “My parents will be here in three months.”
“……”
Si Sheng remained calm after hearing the news, but Xu Sili keenly noticed that the passerby halo had obvious fluctuations and almost lost its effect.
From this, it could be seen that the man’s heart wasn’t as calm as he appeared.
Xu Sili approached him gently, put his arms around the man’s waist, snuggled into his arms and said softly, “Don’t be nervous. They are both very good people.”
His eyes narrowed as he smiled.
He could finally see his parents soon.
It had been more than a year, almost two years, since he came to this world. He missed them very much and didn’t want them to continue to endure the pain of separation.
Seeing the happy smile on the young man’s face, Si Sheng took a deep breath and slowly relaxed.
He reached out and gently ruffled the top of Xu Sili’s head.
“Yes, I’m looking forward to that day too.” Si Sheng also slightly smiled.
He was indeed nervous, but not completely terrified. There was a slight gleam in his eyes, and a bit of determination.
The two people talked in low voices. Not far away, the two scouts seemed to have received orders and quickly evacuated, leaving the planet through the teleportation point.
It should be that his second brother consulted the military leaders, so the other party temporarily withdrew their troops.
Xu Sili hesitated for a moment, but still assigned tasks to the players who were exploring everywhere. He drove those people back to Escher Star.
Since he wanted to develop the desolate planet into a battlefield dungeon, the original plan needed to be changed. This had to be kept a secret from the players for the time being.
The hostages in the base were also brought back to the Roland Empire.
Xu Sili didn’t want too many people to know that the desolate planet was originally the base of the Clive star thieves.
These hostages were innocent, but there was no guarantee that they wouldn’t contact the outside world if they stayed here. It was better to wait until he reported the desolate planet to the Interstellar Alliance and got it approved.
Xu Sili didn’t intend to keep some of these scientific researchers like he did when he contacted the Flaming Fox’s base.
After all, the Roland Empire had become famous now and it wasn’t as dangerous as before. He could recruit talents from other planets.
Moreover, the Roland Research Institute wasn’t short of high-end talents for the time being.
If he included Yi Minkang and the others, as well as the top scientists subsequently discovered by Dr Ding Mingyu, there were more than ten of them.
What was urgently needed now were scientific researchers who could do some basic work.
XU Sili had already stopped the post collecting information in the Future Forum.
There were too many chaotic and evil players in that world. He didn’t want to bring unnecessary disasters to future scientists because of himself.
The CP fans who helped collect the information could understand it and had no objections.
Xu Sili couldn’t help his lips curling when he thought of this.
They naturally had no objections. After all, he had to send several photos to appease them.
How could there be any complaints when they got benefits without working?
Taking these people back to the Roland Empire also meant that the two-way teleportation circle would be exposed.
However, Xu Sili didn’t care much about this.
In any case, from the very beginning, Xu Sili never thought about hiding the two-way teleportation circle.
The two-way teleportation circle was a native product of the Roland Empire. It was better than the fixed-point teleporter.
Moreover, the fixed-point teleporter could only transport inanimate objects. Each person must first be transformed into a card, which was really inconvenient.
Xu Sili also understood that it was an inevitable trend for players to move towards the universe. It was because this game was called Starry Sky Age. He couldn’t always confine the players to the Roland Empire.
Then the interstellar journey that could take one or two months was a difficult problem that needed to be solved urgently. This would not only torture the players, but was also detrimental to Roland’s development!
After all, it was so troublesome to go out. The players definitely wouldn’t think about coming back until they had enough fun.
The final result was that players would most likely end up like Aunt Val, who was away for a year or two, or even never come back.
If that continued, it would be difficult for the Roland Empire to retain the high-level combat forces. Players would leave as soon as they reached a certain level.
The Roland Empire was just a novice village. For high-level players, there was an infinitely wonderful world waiting for them out there!
Xu Sili didn’t want this to happen, so he had to prepare for it.
One solution was to set up two-way teleportation circles in various parts of the universe.
As long as they could save time when going out, players could peacefully return to the city without any worries.
Moreover, he planned to discuss with his second brother later and ask the gaming team to add some special functions to the home. The most important one was the teleportation function.
According to his idea, he hoped that players could be teleported back home from any location—except in certain situations, of course.
Through the home, players could walk out of their homes directly and return to the Roland Empire. The home would record the coordinates of the location where the players returned.
Players could pay a certain fee and return to this location again through the home system.
In this way, the role of the home would be greatly enhanced.
It wasn’t only for those who wanted to go out. Even the players who stayed on Escher Star would absolutely want to have a house.
After all, this was a free return point and the area of Escher Star was very large!
Players who went out to travel in the interstellar space could return to their homes to rest at any time. They could return to Roland through their homes, and then return to the interstellar space from Roland. Wasn’t this great?
If this function could be developed in time, it would definitely be favored by players.
However, the home system was only available to players after all. The NPC caravans in the Roland Empire also needed such a two-way teleportation circle.
Not only was it safe and convenient, but it also saved a lot of time and teleportation costs. Once a teleportation circle was established between the stars, the Roland Empire would gain a huge advantage.
As an item produced by a magical civilization, only those who mastered the power of elements could control the two-way teleportation circle.
In short, they could keep the core technology firmly in their hands.
Of course, there were still many issues that needed to be addressed.
For example, issues such as security, whether those nations would agree to let them build a two-way teleportation circle, etc., all needed to be discussed.
In any case, there was no rush for now. He could try it with the countries allied with the Roland Empire first.
Xu Sili thought about it. He sent another message to Aunt Val, asking her to go to the desolate planet and return to the Roland Empire through the two-way teleportation circle.
In the future, the Roland Empire would have more and more relations with alien planets. He would need to have someone familiar with the interstellar space to take charge.
After returning to the Roland Empire, Xu Sili found Adrian and reported to him that this barren planet now belonged to the Roland Empire.
As an abandoned, uninhabited planet, few nations would try to seize it.
It was because the membership fee of the alliance was calculated by planet. For example, the Roland Empire only had one planet, Escher Star, and the annual fee was 10 million cosmic coins.
The more planets they owned, the higher the fee they would have to pay.
Poor and backward nations wouldn’t want an uninhabited planet that had no use value and would instead cause a loss. Wealthy nations wanted it even less.
Therefore, if a nation occupied an uninhabited planet, reported it and registered it with the Interstellar Alliance, the planet basically belonged to that nation.
Adrian was very surprised that His Majesty Roland suddenly wanted such an uninhabited planet, but he still followed the procedures to process it.
He also agreed after hearing Xu Sili ask him to keep an eye out for small planets that were for sale.
At the same time, he couldn’t help sighing in his heart.
The small nation that once couldn’t even afford to pay the alliance fee now had the currency about to be recognized and circulated among the stars, but also had enough wealth to purchase planets!
However, just as Xu Sili was looking for him for something, Adrian actually also had something to discuss with him.
“Deputy Captain Finn hopes that the mecha competition can change its format…” Adrian said with a bit of embarrassment.
“Oh?” Xu Sili raised an eyebrow slightly.
“Originally, the mecha competition was against Marshal Si Sheng. Then after witnessing the battle between Marshal Si Sheng and the Clive star thieves…” Adrian chose his words carefully.
It was impossible that these mecha masters were too scared to compete with the Guardian, right?
Xu Sili didn’t make it difficult for him and nodded. “I understand.”
Anyone who had seen Si Sheng fight probably wouldn’t want to become his enemy.
He asked bluntly, “So how do you want to change it?”
Adrian hesitated for a moment before replying, “The mecha masters are very interested in how your soldiers defeated the star thieves.”
Xu Sili raised an eyebrow again.
How did they defeat the Clive star thieves? Of course, they used human lives.
In front of the Interstellar Alliance, they didn’t want to expose the players’ racial talent that allowed them to resurrect infinitely too early. This competition would be broadcast to all interstellar people.
It didn’t feel good at all when players defeated mecha masters by sacrificing their lives.
Xu Sili touched his chin. “I understand. In that case, I will send five strong people to fight you. It will be a battle between humans and mechas. These teachers can’t drive mechas.”
Adrian couldn’t help being shocked. “The strength of these five…”
Xu Sili smiled. “Don’t worry, they are much weaker than Si Sheng.”
Yes, a five star elementalist was indeed much weaker than Si Sheng!
