VCRMM: Chapter 381

There was no news from Litch afterwards, and the contact person on Saikon’s side didn’t pay much attention.

They were the largest inhabited planet in the United States of Bekra with a permanent population of tens of billions. They were among the best in the interstellar world in the fields of science, technology and medical care.

There were chains of contempt between different planets in the nation, let alone the little-known nation of the Roland Empire.

Of course, this small nation had been making a lot of noise lately. Still, what did this have to do with them, Saikon?

There were so many planting and breeding stars that wanted to cooperate with Saikon. Why should they cooperate with a small nation with a population of less than 100 million?

Even if they really gave an order, could the Roland Empire supply it? If the supply was low, why should they specifically place an order?

With such a thought, Lux, the head of foreign trade for Saikon’s food, quickly forgot about Litch after hearing the reply from his subordinates.

He was very busy and didn’t have time to deal with this country bumpkin from a small planet.

It was only occasionally when others talked about the magic of the Roland Empire that Lux would think of this person and happily use him as a topic of conversation to attract attention.

This often brought him looks of amazement or appreciation, which he greatly enjoyed.

However, what Lux didn’t expect was that the craze caused by the Roland Empire would last so long, and would create a series of explosions of popularity later.

It was due to all the reports that started to circulate after the first tour group arrived in the Roland Empire.

The first wave of tour groups was arranged by the Interstellar Alliance, so it was impossible for the alliance to just leave the group in Roland and not care about them.

The Interstellar Alliance sent accompanying reporters to follow up and report. Before they reached the Roland Empire, the star thieves hijacking incident attracted huge attention.

The most feared thing about interstellar travel was star thieves. The star thieves were extremely vicious criminals, especially the organization Blood Dance which had committed numerous crimes.

If there were really star thieves on this route and a ship was successfully hijacked, it was likely to lead to a decline in the tourist enthusiasm to the Roland Empire.

However, according to the report, the soldiers of the Roland Empire suddenly appeared. They not only captured the star thieves, but also used magic to save a dying passenger. This caused great discussion.

First of all, how did these soldiers suddenly appear on the spaceship? Was this also the magic of the Roland Empire?

In the battle against the Clive star thieves, the Roland Empire easily captured four super battleships silently. Did they also use this type of magic?

If this type of magic could be used on a large scale in war…

Everyone who thought of this couldn’t help gasping.

Such an enemy was too scary! During the battle, the enemy not only suddenly arrived behind them but also directly entered the battleship, even the command room! How could they fight?

To capture a thief, the leader must first be caught. After losing the commander, the battle would be 80-90% lost.

They were confident in their skills and could control micro-mechas to fight in a warship, but fighting in a warship was undoubtedly restricted and full of various unknown risks.

No matter which commander, probably no one would want to face such a terrifying enemy!

Even in the Bruner Empire, the most powerful interstellar nation known for its military strength, many people were deeply shocked and fearful of such magic.

They had all watched the video of the battle and thought they had guessed the truth. The reason why the four battleships were captured quietly was because they were destroyed from the inside!

Of course, they couldn’t imagine that half the reason why the four battleships were so quiet that day was due to Xiao Wu.

Who would’ve imagined that a nation with a magical civilization actually possessed technology more advanced than that of a scientific civilization, had given birth to intelligent life that had evolved silently to become extremely powerful?

They were unaware of Xiao Wu’s existence, but a few conspirators and radicals publicly stated that the Roland Empire must be strangled in the cradle while it was still weak.

Otherwise, once it became powerful in the future, other nations would have to bow down to it!

Of course, such inflammatory remarks that were detrimental to the stable development of the interstellar world were quickly deleted by the Star Network’s intelligent computer without Xiao Wu needing to take any action.

The Interstellar Alliance had done a very good job in controlling public opinion. It had made an indelible contribution to the peace maintained among the interstellar nations for so many years.

As for whether these nations would do anything behind the scenes, the Interstellar Alliance couldn’t do anything about it.

Therefore, Xiao Wu was very careful to mark which nations these people belonged to. He said very cautiously that he would definitely make things difficult for them when he had the chance in the future!

Of course, such remarks were only made by a minority of people. Most interstellar people pursued peace, and no one wanted to take the initiative to provoke a war unless it threatened their survival.

There were few nations that suffered from war, but they did exist. They always reminded people of the cruelty of war.

What’s more, the Roland Empire might’ve demonstrated the power of a magic civilization but it always had a positive image since it appeared in people’s view.

First, Roland’s Guardian became famous in the Genius Competition and became a rising superstar in the universe. Then the famous musician His Majesty Roland was exposed along with him.

That’s right, thanks to the three magical songs, the Good Night Song, Sprouting and the Toast Song, His Majesty Roland had been evaluated as the most influential musician of the year.

Countless fans later realized that the reason why His Majesty Roland’s songs were so magical was because they were blessed with magic!

This explained why countless singers sang these three folk songs one after another but they had no effect, even if they were distinctive and very pleasant to listen to.

Some people were good at imitating, but even if their singing style was almost close to the original, it was purely an ugly imitation and would cause ridicule.

After knowing that these songs were blessed by magic, all the fans who benefited from them couldn’t help but start to yearn.

The recorded version was so amazing. What if they could hear it live?

Unfortunately, after knowing that His Majesty Roland was really the emperor of the Roland Empire, many people also realized that they might not be able to hear him sing live in person.

After all, the only people who could invite a ruler to sing for him personally were probably people of the same level and status, right?

In short, these three Roland folk songs, which represented tranquility, vitality, and passion and heroism respectively, had unexpectedly and undisputedly became the symbols of the Roland Empire.

As the songs spread widely, they constantly promoted the positive energy of the Roland Empire and refreshed the goodwill of the vast majority of interstellar people.

This was indeed something that Xu Sili, who had started singing for a living out of poverty, hadn’t expected. It could be said that this was an unexpected result.

Then in the battle with the Clive star thieves, they accomplished the feat of wiping out the third largest star thief organization in the universe in one go.

This not only demonstrated the muscles of the Roland Empire, but also made many victims of the attacks and robberies of the Clive group applaud!

Among them, the caravans and tour companies were the most delighted.

Without the Clive star thieves, interstellar trade and exchanges suddenly became much calmer! The Roland Empire simply benefited the masses!

Due to this incident, Roland won the favor of a large number of people and established a very good first impression.

What followed was the live broadcast and report of the Interstellar Alliance’s delegation. The magic of the Roland Empire defeated the technology of the Interstellar Alliance, but the public didn’t show any resentment due to their previous good impression.

After all, mechas were something that only rich people could play with. Like magic, it was very far away from them. Therefore, everyone just watched for fun.

The later food live broadcasts were even more attractive.

However, many people were discouraged when they saw the high travel costs.

So when seeing reports of the star thieves hijacking a ship, more people noticed that the soldiers of the Roland Empire beat these star thieves to the ground and even brought one unlucky guy back to life!

Everyone originally thought this was an exaggerated report. Later, the first tour group arrived in the Roland Empire and that type of magic reappeared in people’s vision.

But it seemed to be used in beauty.

The reporter who wrote the article also showed a comparison video of the before and after beauty treatment.

The huge change was like a completely different person. It was hard not to doubt that the reporter had added a special beauty filter to the video.

Later, Mrs Kelly directly posted her health data report and publicly thanked the Roland Empire on her personal platform.

Later, many famous figures came out to forward it. These people were also travelers, so people started to doubt it. Those with keen senses had already started booking tickets to the Roland Empire.

It was a pity that the Roland Empire now only accepted tourist visas. They were not only limited in quota, but only tour groups designated by the Interstellar Alliance could go.

Perhaps it was a type of alternative hunger marketing that made this matter remain popular for a long time.

Of course, no matter whether it was beauty or medical treatment, it didn’t affect Saikon for the time being. What really made Lux have a headache was—

There was a very influential gourmet in the tour group. After he arrived in the Roland Empire, he wrote three articles a day in detail about the food he tasted in the Roland Empire.

One of the articles pointed out that the fruits and vegetables of the Roland Empire were quite delicious even when eaten raw.

This provided a breakthrough for those who couldn’t get tickets to travel but wanted to experience it.

Yes, they couldn’t eat it locally but couldn’t they buy some back to try?

The Minister of Foreign Trade of Saikon, Lux’s immediate superior, happened to be one of them.

It just so happened that Lux previously mentioned in many social occasions that he had rejected the Roland Empire’s food trade application. So when he was called to the minister’s office, he was completely speechless and was scolded.

“How can the fresh ingredients of the Roland Empire be compared with those ordinary planting planets? They are all crops from a magical civilization and high-end luxury goods!”

“Even singing has magical effects there. How can you guarantee the food won’t be the same?”

“In addition, the advanced preservation technology they mentioned… Oh my god, how can there be a stupid piece of trash like you in my department?”

In the end, the minister ordered him to quickly contact the person in charge of the Roland Empire as soon as possible. The price was completely negotiable.

In order to keep his job, Lux was forced to contact Litch and talk to him about cooperation.

Unfortunately, when he edited a long paragraph with a sincere attitude and hesitated for a long time before sending the message, he found out that Litch had blocked him!
