VCRMM: Chapter 174 Part 1

Xu Sili looked at Silin, gently took her hand and said, “Moreover, you also need to rest.”

“Imperial Sister, you can’t fight an unprepared battle.”

“In your current state, you wouldn’t be avenging Imperial Brother, but delivering food to the interstellar beasts.”

He had already checked her status with Insight. Forget her health value. Her magic alone had bottomed out. Then seeing her exhausted appearance, it would be strange if she would be able to kill any interstellar beasts.

“Go to the spaceship to rest for one night. Restore your magic power and physical strength, and repair your equipment. Then I will take you to kill them tomorrow afternoon at the latest, okay?”

Silin stared blankly at the young man in front of her. At this moment, she really realized that her brother was completely different from what she remembered.

Seeing his calm and steady face, and listening to his gentle yet firm words, her nose became sore and tears burst out again.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and regained a trace of calm and sobriety in her mind, which had only wanted to die with the interstellar beasts.

Yes, Snow was right.

Even if she wanted revenge, she couldn’t meet the enemy in such a bad state.

Seeing her nod, Xu Sili couldn’t help sighing with relief.

Then he looked behind him. “Si Sheng, can you help find Xenos?”

His gaze fell toward his feet.

No matter whether alive or dead, he wanted to find the corpse. He couldn’t leave Xenos’ body here.

Silin suddenly grabbed his sleeve. Xu Sili turned his head and heard her say in a trembling voice, “The ones who attacked… mountain drilling beasts… I’m afraid that Imperial Brother has already…”

She couldn’t say the next words.

However, Xu Sili understood.

The mountain drilling beasts were the king of the underground. Such a collapse wasn’t a big problem for them. Xenos had probably been eaten…

Xu Sili couldn’t help feeling a pang in his heart when he thought of the young man who gave him the healing bracelet.

He pursed his lips and said, “Go to the spaceship to rest first. Leave this place to us.”

Silin’s mental state was very unstable. She couldn’t receive any more stimulation.

Silin looked at him and then at her feet.

She took another deep breath.

After all, she was a person who had experienced so much life and death. She led her people to survive tenaciously in the wilderness for four years. Her soul was tougher and more powerful than anyone else.

The momentary loss of control and collapse was just the result of too much shock. Under Xu Sili’s persuasion, she finally managed to adjust a bit.

“Okay, Imperial Brother…”

Her voice was full of tears and she almost couldn’t continue. She suppressed it forcibly and said, “I will leave Imperial Brother to you. No matter… no matter how much you can get back, please do so.”

“I promised to take him home…”

“Please…”

In the end, she closed her eyes and collapsed due to exhaustion. She was caught by Xu Sili before falling.

He sighed and handed Silin to Chamo. He asked Chamo to take her back to the spaceship to rest, carefully saying a few more words before Chamo left.

Then the group left the crater. Si Sheng took control of the land and searched for Xenos’ remains.

He just hoped they could find him…

Xu Sili pursed his lips, his heart heavy.

On the way here from the base station, he had already heard Brady and the others talk about Xenos’ general situation.

With his body, it was almost impossible for him to survive under the danger of being besieged by a group of beasts with the ground collapsing. It would be a luxury if his body could be preserved intact.

Xu Sili frowned.

He had already accepted their deaths, and hadn’t expected them to be alive. Then in the end, he failed to save Xenos…

If he had known about them a bit earlier, if…

But there were no ifs.

This feeling of guilt and powerlessness was really uncomfortable.

Xu Sili stared at the crater below and then at the surrounding jungle that exuded a dangerous atmosphere. He didn’t know when an interstellar beast would attack and he couldn’t help clenching his fists.

He had to make this nation as strong as possible, so that the tragedy of Xenos and the former emperor wouldn’t repeat itself.

He took a deep breath, restrained his emotions and started to plan his revenge in his mind.

Since he had promised Silin, he would do it. There was less than one day left.

He had to make all preparations before Silin was restored to her full state.

Brady and the others hadn’t left. Their hearts were very complicated.

They hadn’t expected that after the base station was repaired and soon after the news was sent, the empire would come the next day. It was even His Majesty the Emperor who personally came.

The excitement and joy of surviving the disaster was naturally present, but at this moment, it was all shrouded in a layer of gloom due to the death of the eldest prince.

“My lord, I am also an earth elementalist. Let me help.”

Abner told Si Sheng.

Si Sheng rose up in the beast wave four years ago. Those who were wandering after the beast wave didn’t know about this patron saint of Roland.

Si Sheng didn’t want to deal with this person, but he still turned his head to look at Xu Sili, asking for his opinion.

Would His Majesty agree to such a thing?

Abner also looked at the young man standing by the crater with earnest eyes.

Xu Sili thought for a moment before saying earnestly, “Yes, I’ll leave it to you.”

They were also considered Xenos’ subordinates and they shouldn’t be snubbed in this matter. He already had a preliminary idea about tomorrow’s battle. Now he had to hurry and make arrangements.

“Si Sheng, let’s go back to the spaceship.”

Then Xu Sili looked at Brady and the others. “It isn’t safe here, so be careful. But don’t worry too much. I’ll let the people in the spaceship cover you.”

“If you guys find… after that, use a communicator to tell Xiao Wu to pick you up using the spaceship.”

Xu Sili left them the latest communication devices. There was a signal transmitter on the spacecraft, and they could use the communication devices to communicate.

At the end, he said, “If Silin takes any actions, help stop her. We will talk about everything when Si Sheng and I come back. Here… Xenos died to save you. I hope you can remember this.”

It was clear that the emperor spoke calmly, but Brady and the others instinctively stood up straight.

“Your Majesty, don’t worry! We won’t slack off!”

Xu Sili looked over their faces one by one and finally nodded. He turned around and had Si Sheng go.

After Si Sheng led him to disappear in place, the few people looked up at the huge spaceship in the sky and then at each other.

His Majesty Snow…

He wasn’t what they imagined.

“But he is still too impulsive.” James sighed. “This place is far from Imperial City. Even if we can kill some interstellar beasts, so what?”

He preferred immediately leaving this dangerous, ghostly place after finding His Highness Xenos’ body.

After struggling to hold on for so many years, he really didn’t want to see any more casualties.

Brady shook his head but understood. “Humans aren’t grass and trees. Her Highness Silin really needs to vent. These four years… she has had a hard time.”

She was obviously the most noble imperial princess, but what type of life had she lived all these years…

In addition, the most regrettable thing was still the eldest prince…

James fell silent, but Abner touched his chin. “I’m just curious. How did His Majesty and that Lord Si Sheng leave?”

Wasn’t he an earth elementalist? How could he still disappear in place? If he remembered correctly, this seemed to be a wind skill, right?

No one could answer his question, and no one was in the mood to explore it. They all urged him to start quickly while being careful of his surroundings.

It was as the emperor said. This place wasn’t safe.

So, they were left behind like this while Xu Sili and Si Sheng returned to the cabin to meet Chamo.

Silin had been arranged in a room and was being taken care of by a bionic robot housekeeper. There was no need to worry about her for now.

“Can you go back to Imperial City now?”

After hearing Xu Sili’s question, Chamo thought about it and nodded.

“I can give it a try.”

He hadn’t been here before, which was why he hadn’t been certain.

Now he had come here in person and the place he was returning to was the Imperial City. He had stayed there for half a year and should have no problem locating it.

Xu Sili couldn’t help nodding when he heard this.

Being able to directly use the space tunnel to go back would save a lot of time.

Next, Chamo turned into a silver wolf and jumped into the space crack to try it. Xu Sili took advantage of this time to turn on the communicator. He started to issue orders to the players through the mercenary platform.

Soon, Chamo jumped back through a crack and nodded. “Your Majesty, it works.”

“Yes!”

Xu Sili told him, “Then let’s go back immediately!”

***

Today was the second day of the open beta. After experiencing the initial chaos, the players had now started to integrate into the Roland Empire under the guidance of old players and NPCs.

The major game guilds had also started to rise. They madly absorbed new blood, including the guilds of game teams and individual players.

Of course, the guild… no, it should be the leaders of the major mercenary groups. They were all old players from the first and second closed betas.

The mercenary groups were divided into nine levels such as SSS, SS, S and A to F. Each level needed to complete certain difficult missions to be promoted. They also needed to complete a specified number of missions regularly, or they would be downgraded.

Currently, there were only ten major game teams in the game and they had barely raised the level of their mercenary groups to E. The maximum number of members was 500.

There were ten teams of 500 people, which were 5,000 people. Meanwhile, the total number of beta players had reached 106,000. The remaining game teams naturally couldn’t let them go.

In order to solve the upper limit on the number of people, there was naturally another way besides upgrading.

It was to create new lower-level guilds and develop a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th division of their groups.
