VCRMM: Chapter 406

The Redborough Federation, Capital Star.

This place was around half a month’s journey from Escher Star. In the vast universe, this distance was considered close and they could be called neighbors.

Therefore, the people of Redborough were particularly concerned about the Roland Empire, a magical civilization that recently emerged. The war between the Roland Empire and the Bewatt Empire had naturally become a topic of conversation between people.

After all, the universe had been peaceful for so long. Even if there was a small-scale war, it wouldn’t be known to everyone like it was this time.

Of course, the most important thing was that based on the evidence released by the Roland Empire, they and the Bewatt Empire were definitely enemies who would never stop fighting.

One could imagine how brutal this war would be.

The Redner family was a very ordinary family in Redborough.

This morning, the family of four gathered in the dining room of their apartment to have breakfast as usual.

“Alas, I was thinking that I could travel to the Roland Empire after graduation.”

The Redner’s eldest son, Kachir, said with regret.

The topic of the war between Roland and Bewatt appeared at the Redner family’s dining table almost every day this week because the outbreak of war disrupted their original plans.

“It can’t be helped, Kachir. You have to be more open-minded. No matter what, safety comes first.”

Mrs Redner poured him a glass of milk and said gently.

“There is still half a year until I graduate. Maybe the war will be over by then?”

Kachir took the milk and continued, “Besides, the war is taking place on Bewatt. It shouldn’t have much to do with Escher Star where Roland is.”

Kachir’s purpose was obvious. He repeatedly brought up this topic in the hope that his parents would change their minds.

“I heard that the Roland Empire has delicious food that will leave you with a lasting impression, as well as magical beauty and healing techniques. Mom, you can go get a beauty treatment. Dad, don’t you often have headaches? You can go and take a look too!”

His proposal was quite tempting and Mr Redner was somewhat tempted. However, it obviously couldn’t convince the real decision maker in the family.

“It is too dangerous, Kachir.”

Mrs Redner shook her head again. “According to the analysis of professionals on the military forum, this war will last at least two years or even longer. Moreover, Roland is fighting away from home and doesn’t have the advantage. The possibility of failure is very high.”

She made a well-reasoned argument. “Once the Roland Empire loses, the lizardmen of Bewatt will likely launch a counterattack. Then Escher Star will be in danger.”

“So it is best for you to put aside your thoughts and change your plans as soon as possible. We still have plenty of time and can make other preparations.”

Kachir pursed his lips and couldn’t help saying, “Mr Su Mo said that the Roland Empire is very safe and this war won’t last long!”

The Redborough Federation’s government had taken a fancy to the Roland Empire’s short-distance teleportation circles and placed an order early on.

The magic circle master of the Roland Empire had arrived on time a few days ago and moved to the apartment next door, becoming neighbors with the Redner family.

The reason why Kachir wanted to go to the Roland Empire so much was that he was attracted by the magic of the Roland magic circle master.

He didn’t believe in magic before and thought that what people said on the Internet was too fake. Even if there was a video as evidence, videos could be synthesized in minutes using virtual technology, right?

Then he was slapped hard in the face.

Once Mr Su Mo and his boyfriend moved in, he went to visit them with gifts after hearing that there was a magic circle master from Roland.

Fortunately, the two magicians were easy to talk to. He shamelessly asked to see some magic and they were kind enough to fulfill his wish.

Then he saw that a seedling that had just sprouted in the flowerpot grew into a one meter high sapling and even bore flowers and fruit in the blink of an eye thanks to the spell cast by the magician called Su Lin.

Oh yes, this magician Su Lin was a good friend of Su Mo. He lived across the street from them and was around the same age as him.

Finally, Kachir returned home with a fruit from the tree. From then on, he was full of yearning for Roland and became a Roland fan.

“The Roland Empire is a magical civilization and can’t be judged by common sense. The analysis on those military forums are completely inaccurate.” Kachir insisted on his opinion.

Mr Redner nodded in agreement. He heard that the beauty salon of the Roland Empire seemed to have a hair growth package. He and his colleagues were very eager to try it.

However, Mrs Redner remained unmoved.

She said in an expressionless manner, “Unless the war is over, you can’t even think about going to the Roland Empire. Let’s end this topic here and don’t bring it up again.”

Kachir was indignant. At this time, the daughter of the Redner family, who had been silent all this time, looked at her communicator and suddenly spoke.

“Hurry and read the latest report! The war between Roland and Bewatt is over! The Interstellar Alliance has announced that the lizardmen of the Bewatt Empire have been defeated in the civil war and the planet has been recaptured by the natives!”

The moment she said this, the dining room suddenly fell quiet.

Around two seconds later, the remaining three people turned on their communicators and saw that the media of the Star Network were reporting intensively on this incident.

Almost all forums were discussing related topics, which showed how much shock this incident had caused to people.

In just one week, the Roland Empire successfully destroyed the lizardmen kingdom and helped the natives retake the planet!

Judging from the information sent back by reporters of the Interstellar Alliance, this result was undisputed.

Mrs Redner was stunned. “Oh my god, the Roland Empire is so powerful?”

“Yes, it is incredible!”

Mr Redner also exclaimed. Then he said with a hint of gloating, “Haha, I’m afraid that the ten major powers will have trouble eating and sleeping.”

“I’m so curious. How did the Roland Empire do it? Their population seems to be less than 100 million. How did they defeat the lizardmen with such a small population?”

“Of course, it is magic! That is a mysterious magical civilization!”

The two adults started a heated discussion, but Kachir was more concerned about his graduation trip.

“Mom, Mr Su Mo was right! The war is over, so can we continue our trip to the Roland Empire now?”

MRs Redner naturally could no longer refuse.

Just next to the Redner family, Su Mo came back from the market early in the morning. On the way, he met NPCs who knew him. All of them congratulated him and expressed surprise to him, which made him come back late today.

He walked into the house and saw that Chi Yu had already woken up and was sitting on the sofa, looking at a pile of drawings.

He walked over with a smile and hugged him from behind. “Xiao Yu, I’m back. Are you hungry?”

Chi Yu raised his head from the blueprint and touched his cheek. “I’m fine. I had a few cookies to fill my stomach. Why are you back so late today?”

Su Mo tilted his head and rubbed against his palm. This was the most intimate action they could do.

He told Chi Yu what happened on the way. Then he took out the breakfast he had bought from the system backpack and placed it on the table one by one.

“The war is over…”

Chi Yu wasn’t surprised by the speed. He had already witnessed the various powers of the braves and had blind trust in their emperor.

“I don’t know if the ultra-long-distance teleportation circle we built earlier was useful.”

Su Mo poured him a cup of hot chocolate and nodded. “Of course, it is! This is a magical artifact that can connect two planets.”

Chi Yu smiled. It was good that he could be of use. At the very least, he had contributed some effort to the Roland Empire.

“Are you sad you didn’t go to the battlefield?” He suddenly asked.

Due to Su Mo, Chi Yu knew many secrets about the braves, such as their unlimited resurrection ability and that they would gain points from fighting, which could be exchanged for rewards from the empire.

The rewards for the battle against the Bewatt Empire would definitely be very rich.

“Going to the battlefield isn’t as fun as being with you…” Su Mo muttered softly.

“What?” Chi Yu didn’t hear clearly.

Su Mo smiled and said, “Why would I be sad? I didn’t ask for those rewards. I’m happy as long as I’m with you.”

Fortunately, he was there. The house had been arranged for them by the Redborough officials. The moment he arrived, he discovered some gadgets used to monitor them.

He didn’t bother to dismantle it and directly purchased advanced services on the mercenary platform.

This could block all surveillance from the Star Network and provide buyers with the highest quality privacy and confidentiality services.

The price was very high but it was very useful. After purchasing it, he used the system to check and found that all those gadgets had an additional status of ‘blocked, unavailable.’

Later, an NPC found an excuse to break into their house and install a bug, but it was blocked without him having to do anything. The money was really worth it!

“What drawings are you looking at?” Su Mo asked while eating.

Chi Yu smiled slightly. His eyes instantly brightened up when he talked about the drawings.

“I’m trying to optimize the construction plan for the short-distance teleportation circle. If we can streamline one or two structures, our construction speed will increase significantly.”

Redborough had ordered ten short-distance teleportation circles from the Roland Empire. Based on the speed of the three of them, these ten teleportation circles would take at least one and a half months to build.

There would be more orders like this in the future, so Chi Yu hoped to further shorten the construction time.

As a special talent NPC, his ability to increase the speed of construction seemed to be through optimizing the blueprints.

Su Mo couldn’t help looking at him in admiration. “Wife, you are so amazing!”

Chi Yu paused and blushed at the nickname.

Su Mo stared straight at him and wanted to kiss him. Then he thought of the harmony system and held back his tears.

“What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll make it for you. Today is our first anniversary, so we have to celebrate it properly!”

At this moment, a system notification sound suddenly rang in Su Mo’s ears.
