VCRMM: Chapter 442 Part 2

From that day onward, the news that His Majesty Snow was about to marry Si Sheng immediately spread throughout the Roland Empire and other interstellar nations thanks to intensive media coverage.

The alien tourists who came to visit might be slightly surprised, but the people of Roland showed no surprise at all.

They were finally getting married!

Almost everywhere in the nation, people who heard the news cheered.

His Majesty Snow and Marshal Si Sheng had finally achieved their happy ending!

Now, the native inhabitants of Roland, influenced by the players, also affectionately called their ruler by His Majesty Snow.

As the ruler who led them on the path of peace and prosperity, His Majesty Snow was undoubtedly the most popular of all emperors. His beautiful love story with Marshal Si Sheng captivated the nation.

After all, it was an official announcement! They also kept releasing sweet moments from the official channels, so sweet it was unbelievable. Who wouldn’t say they were loving?

Now, the couple they had been shipping was finally going to get married!

Throughout the Roland Empire, people celebrated as if it was a festival. Bonfire parties, which hadn’t been held for a long time, were now being held one after another in various places.

This atmosphere also influenced the interstellar people who came for tourism and to avoid disaster.

Yes, the Roland Empire had now become one of the few nations in the universe that wasn’t affected by the zerg.

According to the scientists’ analysis, this was likely due to the special magnetic field of Escher Star that prevented the zerg from entering.

The real reason was actually that Black Armor had evolved to the level of five stars, which was considered one of the highest levels among the zerg.

With it around, other zergs chose to stay away from Escher Star.

The reconstruction of Escher Star desperately needed manpower, and the Roland Empire’s population size and education level couldn’t be improved in a short period of time.

Therefore, in this cosmic environment, Xu Sili chose to open up a portion of spots to interstellar people seeking help.

Of course, they weren’t being helped unconditionally.

Given the current wealth of the Roland Empire, these people didn’t need to pay exorbitant sums of money. All they needed to do was possess a skill that Roland required and pledge to serve the Roland Empire for ten years.

The Roland Empire was willing to accept them as long as this condition was met. As for the selection process, it was ostensibly handed over to the Interstellar Alliance, but in reality, it was handed over to Xiao Wu.

With Xiao Wu around, 99% of those with ulterior motives could be filtered out, leaving only those who genuinely sought help and were willing to serve Roland.

In short, Escher Star had transformed from a dangerous, backward and undesirable place into the most desirable planet to migrate to!

The previous nations that rejected Val on her diplomatic mission were now filled with regret.

These nations that were the first to establish diplomatic relations with Roland still suffered from the zerg invasion but quickly achieved victory with Roland’s help—mainly the support of the players.

Now these nations had adjusted and were developing rapidly with Roland’s assistance.

Upon receiving news of Emperor Roland’s upcoming wedding, these allied nations sent congratulatory letters and dispatched envoys with gifts.

The presence of Roland’s soldiers meant they didn’t have to worry about encountering star thieves or the zerg. Roland’s mercenary groups now enjoyed a very high reputation in the universe.

The people of Roland cheered with joy, and the loyal players of Starry Sky Age were naturally no less enthusiastic.

The Roland Empire was the starter planet and was a part of almost every player’s gaming career. Even for those players who had switched factions, His Majesty Snow still held a very special place in their hearts.

He was a special being who they would kill any NPC speaking badly about him even after switching factions.

After all, in every major event, His Majesty Snow provided them with a very enjoyable gaming experience. His Majesty Snow would often issue special missions with very good rewards!

He might like to progress the story behind the players’ backs, but he was still a perfect faction leader.

Four years of gaming had left a lasting impression on everyone.

Now hearing that he was about to marry Si Sheng, apart from the frenzied CP fans, everyone else was wondering if there would be any special rewards for His Majesty’s wedding.

[ I think so. His Majesty Snow has always been very generous. Now he is extremely happy about getting married. He should give special rewards to celebrate, right?]

[So can players who aren’t part of the Roland faction receive the wedding rewards from His Majesty Snow?]

[Hahaha, isn’t that obvious? Is His Majesty Snow the leader of your faction? What does his marriage have to do with you.]

That’s right. If His Majesty Snow isn’t the leader of their faction, what did his wedding reward have to do with them?

After understanding this logic, the players who switched factions were instantly depressed.

[I only switched factions a month ago! I thought Roland didn’t need me much any longer, so I switched. His Majesty Snow’s wedding is too rushed. Shouldn’t we be given at least a year’s notice and to spend another year preparing?]

[Haha, just ask Si Sheng if he agrees to prepare for so long!]

[That’s right. The marshal has been waiting impatiently. How can he delay it for another year? He is so strong and he loves his wife so much. What type of god-like character is the marshal anyway?]

[What wife? His Majesty Snow is the dominant one. The emperor is the gong!]

[Hmph, the marshal is the patron saint!]

This post once again became the battlefield for CP fans, but since this CP was real and almost half the players were shipping them, no one criticized the CP fans for disrupting the order.

As for the players who switched factions and couldn’t switch back in a short time, they once again posted sour comments.

[Even if there are rewards, they can only be used in Roland and will have no impact on those of us dedicated to exploring the stars.]

[Do you think the rewards given by His Majesty Snow will include mechas and battleships? Wake up, stop dreaming!]

[Hahaha, that’s right. Those rewards don’t appeal to us at all!]

So did Xu Sili prepare wedding gifts? The answer was, of course, yes.

On the day of his wedding to Si Sheng, players who remained in the Roland faction received the following message when they logged into Starry Sky Age.

[Ding~ Today, His Majesty Snow will be marrying Marshal Si Sheng. To celebrate their wedding, a lottery event will be held in major cities. All Roland faction players can participate by consuming reputation points. The event will last for three days, and the lottery prizes include:

The right to use Roland’s special mecha (Sonic) for one month. 2. The right to use Roland’s special mecha…]

All the players cheered upon seeing the long list of prizes.

Everyone spread the word and started searching for the coordinates of the lottery locations in the major cities. Players who previously expressed no interest in His Majesty Snow’s wedding rewards were now dumbfounded.

Looking at the list of prizes posted on the forum, their mouths watered and tears streamed down their faces.

D*mn, they shouldn’t have switched sides so quickly!

Unlike the players who experienced extreme highs and lows, the locals who received the invitations arrived at their designated viewing spots early in the morning.

Dr Ding and the others from the Imperial Research Institute also unusually closed the institute and mobilized all their staff.

They came to the scene to witness the grand occasion of a national celebration and to see the enviable love between His Majesty Snow and Marshal Si Sheng.

As some of the earliest interstellar people to arrive in Roland, they were undoubtedly the most impressed by the development that Roland had achieved in just a few years.

Each of them hoped that Roland would continue to improve and that this magnificent miracle would continue.

“I heard that Princess Val organized this wedding. Old Ding, when are you going to have a wedding like this with Princess Val?”

Beside him, Dr Yu Mingwei watched the lively wedding scene and joked.

Dr Ding Mingyu smiled broadly. “No problem, no problem. Let’s make plans after we are done with this busy period.”

He and Val were already married, but they hadn’t held a wedding ceremony because they were too busy. Val was very career-oriented and it wasn’t easy to get her to stop.

Perhaps spurred on by His Majesty Snow and the marshal’s wedding, she finally brought up a similar idea to him yesterday. This made him extremely happy.

The scientists booed as he openly displayed his affection. Meanwhile, Yi Minkang placed an arm around Wang Ling’s shoulders, demonstrating that he also had a wife with his actions!
