Noah, who usually talks a lot, fell silent at this time.
After a long while, she said, "Your Excellency Si Yan has always been concerned about his status, but this is a fact that cannot be changed, and Your Majesty has never minded this either."
But sometimes people's sorrows and joys are not the same. Just as the queen is determined to change the empire, Si Yan has been committed to getting rid of the weakness of ancient humans.
The couple's marriage lasted nearly ten years, but eventually they went in opposite directions and drifted further and further apart.
Rong Heng heaved a sigh of relief: "Forget it, there's no point in saying this now. Send a text message to Dares and ask him to come to planet B3024 in seven days to pick me up when I leave."
It was the final time of the speed shuttle race at that time. If I took this opportunity to leave quietly, it would not attract attention.
Noah was quieter than usual today. He didn't make any more jokes and just agreed calmly.
After Rong Heng finished explaining everything and asked Noah to erase the surveillance in the protection system, he went offline.
In the bedroom, Ruan Shiqing and the kids were sleeping soundly.
The fish put his hands on his abdomen, covered his chest with the quilt, and slept upright on the left side of Ruan Shiqing. The other two cubs were much more obedient in their sleeping positions. The nine-tailed fox cub fell over and arched from the middle of the bed to the end of the bed; the dragon cub had already rolled to the edge of the bed, pressed his body against the quilt, and snored on his belly.
Rong Heng carefully put the smart brain back to its place, jumped onto the bed, and lay down on the soft and fluffy pillow. Sniffing the light fragrance floating in the bedroom, the irritability in his heart slowly calmed down.
In fact, life on planet b3024 is much more pleasant than that on Sikkim.
At least you don't have to face those dirty intrigues.
It’s a pity that this time I really have to leave you.
Early in the morning, before Ruan Shiqing had time to eat breakfast, he received a video call from Marin.
The video was connected, and Marin's virtual image appeared, smiling and greeting him: "Good morning, Mr. Ruan, the situation you asked me to help investigate has been confirmed. The buyer happens to be someone I know, and we have had many dealings before. I will help you settle this matter. The buyer and the auction house have promised that they will not bother the nine-tailed fox cub again."
After saying that, he clapped his hands again and ordered his subordinates to bring up the three evolved creatures: "The three creatures from yesterday have also been found. I have heard about everything. Do you need me to help you deal with these three creatures?"
Thinking that he was quite efficient, Ruan Shiqing was surprised for a moment, but still thanked him sincerely.
"Let me handle these three. If necessary, please bring them to me in person."
If we let Marin handle it quietly, how can it have a deterrent effect
Mori was wondering how to please him, so he immediately agreed after hearing what he said.
Ruan Shiqing had just finished his breakfast when Mori, accompanied by a group of subordinates, arrived at the door with three evolved creatures.
The three evolved people had obviously been taught a lesson, and their faces were bruised and swollen.
Before yesterday, they were still rubbing their hands and planning to find a way to steal a few cubs and sell them for a good price. They were originally only going for the baby dragon, and they specially picked a time when Ruan Shiqing was not there to check the place out. They didn't expect to hit the jackpot, and found that this repair shop not only had a baby dragon hidden, but also the nine-tailed fox cub that was sold at a high price at the auction and disappeared, and a cub of the ichthys.
The price of these three precious cubs must be at least millions of star coins.
The huge benefits made them suppress their fear and choose to take risks.
But before the plan could be implemented, Marin's men found their hiding place and wiped them out.
At this time, three timid evolutions were pushed in front of Ruan Shiqing, and Mori asked: "How do you want to deal with them?"
Ruan Shiqing looked at them coldly and said, "First, hang them outside for three days as a warning to the public. Is the production line almost ready? Then separate a separate production line and send them to work there, eighteen hours a day, all year round. After they have worked for a full year, we'll see how they perform."
In the interstellar era where machine technology is already very mature, the production lines of many prosperous planets have been fully mechanized. Except for a few special positions that require manual processing, most jobs have been replaced by machines.
Because in this era of plenty, labor is very expensive.
But the situation on planet B3024 is obviously not subject to the outside rules. For the time being, there is no such advanced production line here - currently it is an automatic mechanical production line. The entire planet B3024 only has the energy center in the inner city, which is transported from Sikkim by transport ships.
Therefore, the production lines currently set up in the outer city still need to rely on workers.
Fortunately, there are not many unemployed vagrants in the outer city, and the labor price is not high, so recruiting a group of them is enough to meet the initial production needs.
The wages of the recruited workers are calculated according to the standard working hours, while these three evolved people are free laborers, which is called "labor reform" in the terms of Ruan Shiqing's world.
The evolved beings have good physiques to begin with, and eighteen hours a day is almost right at their limit.
"Isn't this punishment too light?" Mori kicked the secretly delighted Evolver: "Is this too easy for them?"
"I don't like killing people." Ruan Shiqing said, "And this method can not only create benefits for us, but also punish them and serve as a warning." He smiled meaningfully, "You will know after a long time."
For these hooligans who like to get something for nothing, making them work eighteen hours a day, all year round, would be more painful than killing them directly.
Hearing him say this, Mori was skeptical, but still ordered his subordinates to drag him out and hang him up as a warning to others.
After giving the order, he couldn't help but poke his head into the house and said, "How come I see the cub you raised?"
Ruan Shiqing was not willing to let Ma Lin contact the cubs at first, but thinking that the cubs would have to go out and show themselves sooner or later, and that Ma Lin knew people in the inner city and could help get a legal identity for the cubs, he let the 09 cubs go down.
Fish, dragon clan, nine-tailed fox.
Together with their His Highness Taili, are the four ancient clans of the Galactic Empire all here
Mori took a look at the cubs and exclaimed in his heart, “Wow!”
When he looked at Ruan Shiqing again, he couldn't help but reveal a look of admiration.
They are ashamed to be gods, but the children they raise are all different from mortals like them.
Mo Li praised him for a few words, and then looked around. He just saw the figure of His Royal Highness the Grand Master, and asked again. He could only point at Rong Heng and say, "Mr. Ruan actually has a puppy. What breed is it?"
Rong Heng:
Are you fucking blind
He raised his head slowly and stared at Morrie.
But this is not Mori's fault. After all, everyone has only seen the young Yomir.
It's big, mighty, and intimidating.
Who would have known that the mighty Tairi would look like a puppy when he was a cub
"It's very clear. Snowball was picked up by accident." Ruan Shiqing said.
Mori, who knew nothing about it, reached out and patted the puppy on the cheek, praising it, "How cute."
"… "
Rong Heng: You are dead, right now.
He looked at Mori expressionlessly, but unfortunately Mori noticed nothing.
After much hesitation, he was able to find some clues about His Highness the Grand Duke, which disproved his previous speculation that "His Highness the Grand Duke might be living in Ruan Shiqing's house."
When he came, he happily brought the design drawings of the blaster.
As an extra reward, he promised to help Ruan Shiqing get identity cards for the three kids.
Of course, the race of the kids on their ID cards would definitely not be the four precious and ancient races, and they would use other races to conceal their identities.
With a legal identity card and the protection of Marin, the snake in the outer city, the cubs will no longer be illegal residents and will no longer have to hide. They can go out openly, even to the inner city.
As for the three evolved creatures, they really followed Ruan Shiqing's instructions and stayed outside for three days.
At first they still felt lucky to have met a soft-hearted and easy-going person, but three days later, they knew what it meant to be in agony.
Marin's team took them to the factory where the production line was located.
Of course, the production line couldn't be started up so quickly, but the transportation and assembly of the production line required manual work, so how could there be a shortage of work
According to Ruan Shiqing's requirements, they had to work for eighteen hours without a break before they were allowed to rest. However, for such high-intensity labor, they only had two tubes of nutrient solution a day.
Three days later, Jinhua tried to escape, but he was caught as soon as he stepped out of the factory. In order to prevent him from escaping again, he was given a special electric ring on his foot, which would explode if he was 300 meters away from the factory.
Their lives were threatened, and the three evolved creatures who wanted to die completely gave up and had to stay and work obediently.
A worker who knew these three people saw their appearance and reported it back, causing immediate panic.
They said: The three evolutionists who tried to steal from the repair shop were locked up in the factory by Marin and forced to work day and night. They only had one tube of nutrition per day and could only sleep for three hours after working for two days. In just one week, the evolutionists who were originally very strong had become skinny and looked like a skeleton.
I heard that you have to keep doing this until you die, and then you will be released eventually.
This is simply shocking!
It would have been better to give him a quick death at that time, so that he would have been done with. Now he is still alive, but he is suffering.
The rumor spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, becoming more and more outrageous and shocking. However, at the same time, the deterrent effect that Ruan Shiqing wanted was achieved, so he simply decided not to debunk it.
Soon it was the day of the shuttle car finals. Ruan Shiqing, the Xiong brothers, and 09, each took their four cubs to the shuttle car competition site.
The cubs were very excited as it was their first time going out to watch a game.
They all changed into their most beautiful clothes before going out.
The little dragon cub and the little fox cub occupied Ruan Shiqing's left and right shoulders, with the puppy in his arms.
Because of the size of the little catfish, Ruan Shiqing made a special cart for the little catfish in advance.
The cart is egg-shaped, about 80cm wide and 50cm wide, and is a light sky blue. The upper part is sealed metal, the lower part is transparent tempered glass, and the bottom is equipped with a pulley device that can be intelligently controlled. A seat is thoughtfully set at the position of one-fifth of the interior of the cart for Xiaoyu to sit on.
At this time, Xiao Yu was wearing a retro-style shirt with a black bow tie tied at the collar. His hair was neatly tied behind his head, and his blue ear fins were constantly stretching and closing because of excitement and nervousness. He had a golden round clip in his hair and a necklace of the same color around his neck, which just covered the scar on his neck.
He sat upright in the cart like an elegant little prince, looking around curiously, his fish tail swaying gently below him. The bright sunlight shone through the reinforced glass, casting a faint golden glow on the blue scales.
The small robot 09 was connected to the cart's network, followed him, and was responsible for controlling the cart forward.
Along the way, the cubs looked around curiously.
Nota had been wandering outside before, so he was relatively calm about going out; but Little Fish, on the other hand, could not talk, so he looked a little further out of curiosity.
But it was the first time for the little dragon cub to go out after hatching from the shell.
No matter what you see, you will ask questions out of curiosity, asking a hundred thousand whys.
Ruan Shiqing was very patient and answered his questions one by one.
On the contrary, Rong Heng, who was held in his arms, became annoyed and angrily stretched out his claws to pull the little dragon's drooping tail.
But the little dragon cub was so immersed in excitement that its tail instinctively curled up, but after two seconds, it dropped down again, shaking happily.
He finally realized that he had been left behind.
Rong Heng: …
It turns out that the dragon race has thick skin and tough flesh.
The cubs were still observing their surroundings excitedly, and the people around them were also observing them secretly.
In order to let the cubs know about the outside world, Ruan Shiqing specifically rejected Marin's suggestion of sending a car to pick them up, and instead chose to walk over slowly.
There were very few people who went to the finals with them.
Therefore, it quickly attracted a lot of attention among the big family in the group.
When had everyone seen so many precious cubs? In the past, even cubs of a certain species were not seen, but now three were seen at once.
Everyone slowed down their pace at the same time, secretly looking at the three kids out of the corner of their eyes, but because of Ruan Shiqing's intimidation, they didn't dare to look too obviously.
Some of them were amazed, some were curious, and some couldn't help but estimate how much the three cubs of the ancient races were worth, but these evil thoughts were quickly suppressed because of fear.
Ever since the tragic deeds of the three evolved beings were reported, everyone was so scared that they dared not have any evil thoughts anymore. Even if they had some thoughts, they quickly suppressed them in order to save their lives.
After all, Ruan Shiqing alone had already offended everyone, and now there was another person named Marin.
So although people watched, they did not dare to do anything rashly. Instead, they carefully kept their distance.
The cubs noticed the gazes coming from all directions and their reactions were all the same.
The little fish straightened its back quietly and swayed its tail more gracefully; while the little fox and the little dragon bared their teeth and looked ferocious.
It's just short of having "easy to mess with" engraved on his forehead.
The little dragon cub couldn't help but spit out a few sparks from his nose because he had been sucking in his abdomen for too long.
Rong Heng felt dismayed when he saw this, so he simply turned his head and burrowed into Ruan Shiqing's arms.
You really have seen the world.
Lost.
After wandering around outside for more than an hour, the group finally arrived at the competition venue.
After checking the tickets and entering the inner field, Ruan Shiqing realized that the shuttle car finals were very different from what he had imagined.
The entire competition venue is set up in a garbage dump, and the audience seats are suspended in the air using anti-gravity technology, surrounding the competition venue, arranged from low to high, with circles of seats forming a ring, spreading outward like concentric circles.
Looking up, the empty space was filled with audience seats.
The scene was so lively that it was estimated that 10% of the people on the entire b3024 planet participated in the event.
The anti-gravity seats can be combined and separated by pressing buttons on the seats. Ruan Shiqing and the cubs' seats were connected together, and he and 09 sat on both sides of the cubs. The Xiong brothers chose to sit next to Ruan Shiqing.
At this time, the race has not officially started yet. A huge virtual screen floating in the air is playing engine advertisements, and the contestants on the field are debugging their cars at the starting point to warm up for the race.
Some of the famous racers already had fans who began to cheer and shout. Ruan Shiqing watched for a while, and when he saw that no one was trying to stop them, he released his homemade mini flying robot.
Although these little things are called robots, their operating principle is very simple. They are spherical in shape, about the size of a fist, with a pair of thin translucent wings on each side, and they float in the air by flapping their wings.
The spherical machines were painted black, but the flashing light was blue. After Ruan Shiqing released them, they lined up on their own, and the projection cabin at the bottom opened, and a striking virtual image was projected in the air.
First, a blue star appeared and rotated slowly; then, golden words appeared on the blue star's circular orbit. Everyone looked intently and saw the words "Blue Star dies, Luther will win".
Luther on the field looked up and immediately saw the eye-catching blue star in the sky. He raised his arms and shouted, waving vigorously in the direction of Ruan Shiqing.
Parked next to him was Larkin, the driver most likely to win the championship, who had won the championship three times in a row.
Glancing at the blue planet with disdain, he said disdainfully: "The louder you shout slogans now, the harder the slap in the face will be when you lose in the end." He made a mocking gesture towards Luther: "Do you know how bad your odds are?"
"It's 20.8. Among the top 50 finalists, your odds are ranked fifth from the bottom."
Larkin folded his arms and snorted with a smile, "No matter how popular you were before, your true colors will be exposed once the bet starts. The audience's real money can verify the strength of the contestants. There has never been a dark horse in this arena. Only I will always be the king."
I don't know when the advertisement on the virtual screen stopped. The flying video camera broadcast this sentence to the virtual screen in the center.
The three-time champion and the dark horse who suddenly emerged were facing off, with tensions rising and sparks flying, which immediately excited the audience.
Countless people began to shout Larkin's name.
“Larkin!”, “Larkin!”
"Defeat him!"
"Long live Biscuit!"
"Defeat the ancients!"
The audience was in an uproar, and the kids were surrounded by voices cheering for Larkin, feeling angry and anxious.
They are here to cheer for Luther!
Absolutely can't lose!
The little dragon cub and the little fox took out the mini loudspeaker that Ruan Shiqing had made for them and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Come on, Luther!", "Defeat Larkin!", "Win first place!"
Although Xiao Yu couldn't speak, he had already recorded the audio of cheering in his loudspeaker, and it would play automatically when he pressed the button.
The mini speaker is made in a beautiful trumpet shape, and its sound is twenty times louder than that of an ordinary speaker.
The kids shouted with all their might, like an army of thousands.
Even the voices in the audience paused, and those who supported Larkin searched for the source of the sound, and finally discovered that Luther's supporters were Ruan Shiqing's family.
On the field, adrenaline is continuously secreted and emotions are infinitely magnified.
Not wanting to be outdone, Larkin's supporters shouted back even louder.
The kids immediately turned up the loudspeaker volume to maximum and shouted at them. Even Little Machine 09 and the Bear brothers joined in.
"Larkin must win!"
"Luther first!"
"… "
The kids were shouting slogans enthusiastically, while Ruan Shiqing checked the odds set up online and found that Luther's odds were indeed in the fifth from the bottom.
The drivers with better odds than him are either new faces with mediocre performance or old hands who have failed to win the championship for several consecutive years.
After all, Luther is a rookie, and a classical athlete who is obviously inferior in physical fitness. Although he had performed well before and received a lot of attention, when it came to the moment of real money, everyone still chose Larkin.
This game is not only an exciting visual feast, but also determines whether countless viewers will become rich overnight or lose their fortunes.
Larkin, who had the lowest odds, was tied together with the interests of countless viewers, stirring up a hurricane of fanatical emotions.
Ruan Shiqing was not carried away by this fanatical emotion, but after thinking for a while, he still bet 100,000 star coins.
This was his trust in Luther.
The competition kicked off in such a fanatical atmosphere.
The representative of the organizer came to the stage to give a speech and announced the start of the competition.
At the starting point, all maintenance and testing personnel evacuated, and the racers entered the shuttle cabin, put on windproof goggles, and took their positions.
The host stood on the stage and pressed the gun to start the competition.
Fifty shuttle racing cars of various sizes and shapes roared their engines, and then rushed off into the distance like a gust of wind.
The cheers from the audience were deafening like a tsunami.
Larkin's red car led the way, followed closely by Luther's "Gaia", and the competition started in the first lap.
Behind them, there were shuttle racers in parallel colliding with each other. Those who failed to dodge were immediately knocked away; there were also those who were going too fast and there was too much metal garbage on the road ahead, so they failed to react in time and crashed into them...
Inside the stadium, metal debris and dust were flying, and the roar of engines and cheers were heard.
Of the fifty Speedster racing cars, eight were destroyed in just the first lap.
The audience was immersed in a frenzy, constantly making heart-wrenching roars, but they didn't care about the accidents, crashes, and traffic jams, or the lives of the racers.
Everyone is cheering for the players they support.
The entire garbage dump is extremely large, and only the runner who completes ten laps and reaches the finish line first will be considered the winner.
However, the situation at the garbage dump is complicated, with metal garbage of strange shapes stacked crookedly, forming a series of natural obstacles. If you are not careful, you will crash into them, and your car will be destroyed.
However, the players must not only pay attention to the dangerous environment in the stadium at all times, but also be careful of malicious collisions from other players.
Only then did Ruan Shiqing understand why the imperial law expressly prohibited speed shuttle racing.
This is an extremely adrenaline-stimulating competition, and also an extremely dangerous one.
