VCRMM: Chapter 432

The house for Happy Cultivator was built in Glass Sea City.

This was Roland’s reward to him for discovering several ruins and handing them over to the empire in recognition of his contributions.

After careful consideration, he chose to build his house by the sea. It was a superb sea view with a beautiful view from the balcony.

Of course, he could occasionally hear noises from the beach outside.

Happy Cultivator also heard the cheerful voice. He ran to the window and saw a magnificent and splendid magic ship sailing in the distance.

The sound was clearly amplified by a loudspeaker to travel this far.

As the core of Roland’s first magic ship, Mike was naturally very popular. He also enjoyed being around people and was one of the few NPCs who got along well with players.

“Captain Mike is back.”

Happy Cultivator smiled and looked at Ivis, only to notice that something was off with this person’s expression.

He didn’t think much of it. After all, Ivis was a person from a hundred years ago. He just assumed that Ivis was feeling sentimental after returning to Roland and seeing that things had changed.

Ivis stood on the balcony and watched the magic ship slowly sailing across the sea. He was a bit dazed hearing this familiar voice, as if he had returned to the past.

“Mike… he looks good.”

He had always believed that the magic core that had been with him for so many years was forever dormant in the sea.

On the day when the natural disaster struck, he was forced to abandon the ship and flee. He was eventually caught in a whirlpool. Fortunately, he was picked up by an elemental elf and thrown to guard the colorful barrier.

He never thought he would one day return to Roland and see his old friend again.

“Yes, do you know Captain Mike? He was also retrieved by His Majesty Snow. It seems he was submerged at the bottom of the sea for many years.”

Happy Cultivator said, “This sea area used to be full of interstellar beasts and was very dangerous. People from Glass Sea City didn’t even dare to go to the beach.”

“Now it is great! The seashore area has been mostly cleaned up. Everyone can play on the beach and we also have a seaside feast every day with so much seafood that we can’t eat it all!”

Ivis nodded as he watched the magic ship gradually approach the shore and be surrounded by people. He looked at Happy Cultivator with a complicated expression and said, “I’m sorry I questioned your abilities just now. I apologize to you.”

Before returning, he hadn’t believed Happy Cultivator. Now the facts were right in front of him and he was forced to believe it.

Happy Cultivator laughed, not minding it at all. However, he was somewhat concerned about the system notification that popped up before he returned.

He was worried that something might go wrong with the guard mission. Now that the home system had proven to be working properly, he wanted to go back to the forgotten land to take a look.

However, before going back, he still ordered takeout from the mercenary platform.

“Wait a minute. We need to bring something back to prove it,” Happy Cultivator said. “It will be here in around ten minutes. It will be quick.”

He only ordered seafood. His house was close to the sea, so the delivery was very fast.

Ivis had no objections, but he was still shocked when he saw a wind elementalist using wind magic to fly to Happy Cultivator’s house and take out food boxes one by one.

“That… a three star wind elementalist? Is he your friend?”

“No, he is a delivery driver. He delivers goods to the door,” Happy Cultivator explained simply.

Ivis still couldn’t quite understand. In his time, there were many elementalists but it was a very noble profession.

After all, they were people who wielded great power. It was absolutely impossible for them to serve ordinary people.

However, according to Happy Cultivator, these professional wind elementalists who delivered goods would accept any order as long as it came, regardless of whether the customer was an elementalist or an ordinary person.

Happy Cultivator patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, “Times have changed. You will know this in the future.”

He hadn’t told the group of NPCs about the existence of the braves.

It wasn’t that he was intentionally trying to hide it. He just found it really amusing to see the NPCs show expressions like they had never seen the world before.

These things could be told to them gradually.

“Okay, I’ll take you back first. Then I’ll see how to get to the palace to find His Majesty Snow.”

After that, he used the home system to return to the marked location.

Before heading back, Ivis glanced longingly at the distant magic ship. Then he disappeared on the spot.

He might have an unconventional personality but he knew what the priorities were when it came to important matters. He knew there was plenty of time to meet his old friends and for things to be resolved later.

Neither him or Happy Cultivator saw that the communicators on their wrists had been working rapidly for the past ten minutes, transmitting the incredibly shocking news to a distant place.

Meanwhile, on the magic ship docked at the seaside, Mike also fell silent for a moment.

He hurriedly flew out of the magic ship, but was trapped by the hull and could only stand on the deck.

“It is my master! I can feel the connection with him!”

But the sensation quickly disappeared as if it had just been his imagination.

Mike looked dejected. Then a small robot appeared beside him.

“Mike, is this the master you are talking about?”

An image was projected.

The silver-haired, purple-eyed man had his hair tied in a ponytail. Tears streamed down Mike’s face when he saw the image.

“Your Highness, why do you have an image of my master?”

The little robot put away the projector and said happily, “Because he is still alive.”

Under Mike’s bewildered gaze, the little robot waved.

“I’m going to find my brother. I have a feeling that he will be extremely happy this time!”

The Roland Imperial Palace.

Xu Sili was still breeding the zerg.

He had made a significant breakthrough and the experiment was now in its final stages.

He held a card in his hand, and on the table in front of him were many things collected from all over Roland.

First, he threw an ordinary plant into the card space.

This card contained a swarm of bugs that were specially designed to target interstellar beasts. If food was plentiful, they would prioritize attacking interstellar beasts because the meat had a special attraction to them.

He had now starved these bugs for a while.

He had to ensure that the bugs wouldn’t eat anything else even if they starved to death.

It was only then that he could feel at ease releasing the zerg.

Otherwise, given the destructive power of the zerg, it would be a disaster for Roland. He could control them through Black Armor, but Xu Sili still didn’t want to see any accidents.

However, the results of this experiment were mixed.

The good news was that the zerg weren’t interested in metal, soil or plants and wouldn’t bite them even when hungry. The bad news was that they were still interested in animal meat.

If they couldn’t get their hands on interstellar beasts, they would attack animals. This meant they had changed from omnivores to carnivores.

Of course, if they didn’t get to eat interstellar beast meat for a long time, these zerg would become listless and even start killing each other even when there was other meat to eat.

Meat of their own kind was clearly more attractive to them than meat from other animals.

This was a stroke of luck among misfortune.

Xu Sili was having a headache about what to do next when he received a message from Xiao Wu.

“Brother, Brother, I have some amazing news to tell you! You will be so, so happy when you hear it!”

The image of a little boy appeared on the screen. He was dancing and spinning around, showing an excitement that Xu Sili had never seen before.

Xu Sili looked at him and smiled. “What happened? Why are you so happy?”

“Brother, Father is still alive!’

The little boy’s words completely stunned Xu Sili.

“Father? Which father?”

“It… It is that father who likes to play games!”

Xu Sili stared at the little boy for a while before realizing who he was talking about.

“You mean… the late emperor? My father?”

“Yes! That’s him!”

Xiao Wu was genuinely happy. He had now been accepted by all the members of the Roland imperial family, so he was very close to the former emperor and called him father, just like a real family.

Xu Sili was stunned by the news.

Speaking of which, Xiao Wu was originally the AI of the former emperor’s game cabin and probably spent more time with the former emperor than Joan.

After all, during Xu Sili’s time in the trial world, Joan hadn’t arrived yet while the former emperor already had this game cabin.

“The former emperor is still alive? Xiao Wu, where did you get this information?”

Xu Sili soon forced himself to calm down and asked in a low voice.

Did another player do something earth-shattering while he was unaware?

Xiao Wu showed him the data transmitted back by the clone program in detail, which greatly shocked Xu Sili.

It wasn’t just the former emperor, but also Brenda, Mike’s master Ivis and nearly two hundred elementalists six stars and above?

His unlocking of the level restriction actually affected the seal of the elemental elves?

Xu Sili frowned deeply when hearing this.

He originally thought that the level restriction was the work of Escher Star’s enemies. Now he was being told that it was actually the result of the elemental elves trying to save themselves.

However, the level restriction was unlocked through the magic circle to summon the braves.

Xu Sili suddenly thought of the birth rules for the little sprite.

If a place was prosperous and powerful enough, elemental elves would give birth to guardian sprites. The little sprites were mischievous but they would bring good luck to the people of that place.

This reward mechanism was similar to the unlocking conditions for level restrictions—building and upgrading the main city, clearing out the interstellar beasts, etc!

Could this be a form of self-rescue for the elemental elves?

If this summoning circle was related to the seal of the elemental elves, could it be that…

The braves, the players, were also summoned by the elemental elves?

Xu Sili touched his chin, feeling that this was very likely.

As for the fact that the former emperor was still alive…

His feelings were complicated. He was happy, but he wasn’t the real Snow after all. The former emperor had recognized him as an impostor at a glance during the trial world!

Could he possibly hide anything from such a perceptive man?
