The setting sun from Yilanduo Star shone on the villa dining table and also illuminated Yang Ming's eyes.
Yang Ming, who had just left the palace after three tiring days of work, was only wearing a pair of boxer shorts and had an empty coffee cup in his hand.
On the seat next to him, the human-sized Ritsu was wearing a girl's suit with a shirt and pleated skirt, folding her arms solemnly, as if thinking about a certain problem.
Kolev came down the spiral staircase and saw this scene.
The old man pondered for a few times and then asked a little worriedly: "Have you... tried virtual and physical interaction between men and women?"
Lu blinked, let his hands pass through each other, and curled his lips and said: "Sure enough, even if the relevant hormones are no longer in the body of human elderly males, they always maintain the logical inertia of thinking with the lower body."
"Hey!" Kolev quickly argued, "He obviously has no clothes on! Don't blame me for imagining this!"
"My clothes have just been washed," Yang Ming rubbed the tip of his nose and grinned, "I have Miss Windsor now, and our relationship is going very smoothly, so please don't worry about this, my dear uncle."
"Have you gained anything in these three days?"
Kolev pulled out his chair and sat down, asking with concern, "If that doesn't work, to be honest, I think it would be wise to temporarily leave this corrupt planet."
"The harvest is great, but it can also be said that there is no harvest. We just found out who our real opponent is."
Yang Ming intertwined the fingers of his hands and placed them in front of his nose.
He said slowly:
"The old emperor is an omnic of the Sherman Empire. If we follow up, we will have the opportunity to directly face the warships and cannons of the Sherman Empire.
"Uncle Hatton, I want to re-invite you. Now you can choose to escape unscathed. I will prepare a generous reward for you."
Kolev frowned tightly.
"When I say that, I definitely don't mean to look down on you, Kolev."
Yang Ming's eyes were very sincere:
"I have a way out. Feinan's particle transmission and ultra-short jump mobility allow me to escape from here at any time, but you can't...
"To be honest, I have bet my life several times, but it was just your life."
Kolev's old face turned red with anger.
"Thank you so much!"
"just kidding."
Yang Ming said seriously:
"I didn't pay much attention to the Luofeng Empire at first. It had no independence, the independence of the military and the incompetence of the royal family, which made me feel that it was just a piece of fat. But underneath the fat, there is a hunter's barrel, and we are no longer the tiger's mouth.
Instead of grabbing food, he had to get an administrative star under the eyes of the Sherman Empire.
"This is very difficult and even more dangerous. When we go too far or the situation gets out of control, we will inevitably suffer the destruction of the Sherman Empire."
Kolev looked at him.
The two of them seemed to be back on the small stealth boat, quietly watching the war outside the atmosphere of the planet Orheif.
"Oh, you suddenly said that, and I couldn't make up my mind for the moment..."
Kolev pondered for a few times and murmured:
"I like to pursue excitement. You know, Yang Ming, I compare my life in Cass Federal Manor these days with everything I experience every day. I like the feeling of dancing in danger.
"I'm already old and don't have many days like this to try. Mimili has her own life."
"I remember you said," Yang Ming said slowly, "You haven't lost your heart to challenge the strong, right?"
"The point is," Kolev narrowed his eyes and smiled, "if I stay, I can make more profits, right? A giant businessman in a medium-sized country can influence politics, control the economy, steal resources, and also enjoy the so-called
Noble respect, right?”
"That's right."
Yang Ming said sincerely: "I hope you can stay and help me."
"I have no plans to leave for the time being," Kolev raised his head slightly, "But little guy, you have to remember that you must give me enough remuneration and let me see phased results. And... take less from me.
Risk your life! You can notify me in advance to leave!"
Yang Ming smiled and said, "I'll try my best."
"Find something to wear first, or get under the covers and go to sleep! You are not a gentleman at all now."
Kolev cursed and left the table.
Yang Ming and Lu looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.
Didi.
Yang Ming's watch received a message from Lu in person.
[Boss, Kolev’s reaction was as you expected, and everything was settled smoothly here.]
Yang Ming took his watch and tapped it.
[Law, we need an operator on the surface. Kolev’s existence is very important and his personal safety must be protected. Immediately start the first step of implementing the backup plan and select the appropriate resource star as soon as possible. If it
It would be great if the resources can support our early development. I also need to find ways to make more money, planetary transformation systems, automatic machinery factories, high-computing power main brain arrays... These are all gold-eating monsters.]
Lu said softly: "Boss, please give us a name for our future omnic planet."
There was a bit of expectation in her eyes.
"Comrade Xiaolu, don't mess around with these formalisms."
Yang Ming criticized him seriously, and then he looked at Kolev's thin figure doing exercises in the living room.
Yes, from the moment it was confirmed that the Sherman Empire used omnics to disguise the old emperor, Yang Ming decided to start a backup plan.
The omnic crisis is the omnic crisis.
Why can the Sherman Empire do it but he can't?
What's more, the mechanical thinking bodies cultivated by Law are fundamentally different from artificial intelligence. The former are more independent and will not deliberately explore their relationship with humans.
Yang Ming leaned back slightly and said slowly: "Dark Star, what does this name mean? It means that this planet is hidden in darkness and will not appear on the bright side of the Milky Way."
Lu admired: "Boss, you didn't take the opportunity to make a prank."
Yang Ming sneered, stood up calmly, and stretched.
"If Miss Windsor sends a message, you can send a reply in the tone of my intelligent assistant. I want to have a good sleep and recharge my batteries."
"Have you heard from the others?"
"If it's not an emergency, don't bother me."
Lu took a small notebook and wrote it down.
Then, at dawn the next day, Yang Ming, lying on the big bed, looked at the dozen missed calls and dozens of unread messages, and his forehead was gradually swallowed by a black line.
…
Tsk, the second prince Edwang actually has the potential for a ‘deadly chain dunk’.
Yang Ming replied a message to Miss Windsor, saying that he had woken up, although the latter must be asleep now and could not reply immediately.
Afterwards, Yang Ming dialed the message to Edwang and lowered the volume of the call.
"Hey!"
Adwang's voice was full of anger:
"Are you sleeping like a dead pig? Yang Ming!"
"Brother, Your Highness, I have been on duty for three consecutive days," Yang Ming complained. "I was tense and staring at the mission the whole time, which cost me too much energy."
"Oh, that's right," Edwan's voice suddenly became gentle, "Both the military and the Guards have drawn up a merit request form. As long as my father nods, a group of people can be promoted to military ranks in a small way.
You performed the best this time."
Yang Ming sat up, took the warm water from the housekeeping robot at the side, and moistened his throat that was about to smoke.
"I've only just become a captain, so I'm about to be promoted to a colonel?"
Yang Ming felt a little guilty.
"Originally, this was my plan," Edwang said. "With General Fremont's strong recommendation, and your efforts being recognized by others, it is logical to promote you to a higher rank, but..."
Yang Ming said helplessly: "Look, there will always be one more but at times like this."
"The Third Brother is exerting resistance," Edwang pondered slightly, "I have been sending you messages just to discuss this matter with you."
"resistance?"
Yang Ming looked at the projection screen that appeared on the side. On it was the important information that Lu had collected in the past seven or eight hours.
Adwang said slowly:
"The Third Brother's attitude is very clear. I will let General Wuli go, and he will allow you to be promoted smoothly.
"The reason why the third child blocked your promotion is also very valid... Although we are very generous when distributing honorary military ranks to nobles, your time to join the Guards is still too short. It has only been less than a month. Normally speaking,
, it will take at least one or two years before promotion can continue.
"what do you think?
"Moreover, even if we bite Uli hard this time, we can't bring him down directly. Under the operation of Lao San, we can at most suspend Uli for a few months. I think this exchange is an acceptable result.
."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Your Highness, please make up your mind. Of course I will not refuse promotion. This is what I am seeking."
"Then it's settled."
Adwang exhaled gently and whispered:
"Ming, I think the Sherman Empire has spies at the core of Luofeng's power."
Your father is Sherman's spy.
Of course, it was impossible for Yang Ming to say this directly to Edwang.
"It should be arranged in the palace," Yang Ming said vaguely, "Don't worry about this, Edwan, Luofeng is now a nominal tributary of the Sherman Empire, and you are a family to begin with."
"Come on, let's be a family again," Edwan yawned, "I'm going to continue working for a while. If you are free during the two days of vacation, come to my place to play ball. I have something to discuss with you."
Yang Ming thought for a while and said with a smile: "I will take Windsor with me then."
"Then I will entertain you two well," Edwang chuckled, "See you tomorrow, Major Yang Ming."
"This suffix sounds pretty good."
…
Outside the palace, there is the residence of the third prince.
"Your Highness, Edwan agreed. Posts about General Uli on the Internet were quickly deleted. Public opinion began to be diluted by entertainment news. The two judges of the Royal Court also said that they need to re-evaluate General Uli's influence on the Royal Guards.
importance.”
Behind the desk, the third prince looked much more relaxed after listening to his subordinates' report.
He slowly leaned into the seat.
A subordinate whispered: "Your Highness, do we have to remove the resistance we put on that captain's promotion?"
The third prince waved his hands a little irritably, and the subordinate immediately walked to the corner and issued instructions.
This magnificent study fell into a deathly silence.
The breathing of several women became very light.
"Aren't you saying that Adwang's foundation is very shallow? He has been away from the palace for more than ten years and can't use many resources? Huh?"
The third prince kept asking:
"What now? The bodyguard, the royal court, the two princesses, several ministers, and all walks of life outside the palace all have his influence.
"In fact, we are at a disadvantage in the head-on game with him. Even the old bastard Uli can't pull him back directly. It depends on his face!
"This means the foundation is very shallow? Huh?"
The third prince slammed the ornament at hand on the table, and a series of garbled codes immediately popped up on the table's display.
"say!"
"Your Highness!"
A staff member bowed and said:
"Please stay calm!
"The second prince has been dormant for many years. We were all deceived by him before. We must calmly sort out the current situation and find more power to fight against the second prince.
"This is a great cause that you have been fighting for for more than ten years."
The third prince uttered a vulgar word.
He glanced at the people in the room and whispered: "I'm here today, I need to take a rest."
The men and women everywhere nodded at the same time, saluted the third prince, and exited the study.
The third prince raised his hand to make a gesture, and the confidants who were left at the end bowed forward and listened.
at the same time.
In the monster car driving to a certain Internet celebrity breakfast stall, Yang Ming looked at the picture of the third prince's study in the central control projection, turned the volume to the maximum, and clearly heard the third prince's explanation:
"Teach him a lesson and make him lose his dignity in front of Miss Windsor...I heard that this Yang Ming runs very fast? Break his leg, preferably one that cannot be cured."
"Yes! Don't worry! I will definitely handle it properly!"
Yang Ming turned down the volume and asked in confusion: "Lu, where did you get this surveillance camera angle? Will the third prince provide surveillance cameras for his conference room?"
"This is a hidden auxiliary circuit of the royal family's internal network," Lu answered with a smile. "This secret camera device was created by Princess Dana. It belongs to the intelligence organization of the Sherman Empire and was missed by us."
Yang Ming thought for a while: "Does the third prince have any clues?"
"I can't find any serious excuses. He has always strictly abided by the rules of the royal family," Lu said softly, "but there are character flaws and there are many weaknesses."
"Teach him a lesson, sort out his intelligence, and find a way to sell it to the new federal agent team to facilitate contact between them."
Yang Ming reminded:
"Remember, you must sell it at a high price. We are short of money now."
"Okay boss, I will closely monitor their movements."
Yang Ming shook his head, turned off the projection screen, and thought about ways to make money.
After all, it is too slow to make money when starting an industry.
It is better to make a ppt, find some naive capitalists to tell stories, and then run away after taking the money...
Outside the window, a flaming cloud appeared on the sea and sky.
A faint smile flashed across Yang Ming's lips, and he played a soothing music for himself, his fingers slowly beating the beat, and his body swayed slightly.
Rare leisure.
In a high-rise suite of a nearby luxury hotel, a small telescope was locked on Yang Ming's monster car, and a series of data was uploaded back to the temporary headquarters on the fifth administrative star through their exclusive encrypted network.
