The whole universe knows that His Majesty has a crush on me

Su Yao wanted to say that this word was not really appropriate, but after thinking about it, she gave up the argument and said, "...whatever."

Tsk, the Imperials.

Maybe he is also a fan of their emperor.

"Where's your boat?"
Su Yao looked around, "You can't go shopping with this box, can I help you deliver it?"

“…Not here.”

Kyle realized that she seemed afraid that she would be tired from carrying the ten-pound box.

Even if this thing is equal to the mass of the planet under our feet, it will not have any impact.

Kyle: "I'll let someone take it first."

Su Yao nodded subconsciously.

A few seconds later, she suddenly realized that although it was the first time she met her online friend in many senses, she did not feel any strangeness or discomfort.

Maybe it’s because I’m playing a holographic game and I’m used to talking to him face to face.

After a few more words, a brown-haired young man walked over from a distance.

The man was tall and thin, wearing a neat suit, and he walked almost silently.

Its skin is pale and smooth, with no visible blood vessels beneath the skin.

On that beautiful face whose gender was indistinguishable, a pair of deep, narrow black eyes flickered with a faint light, and beneath the layers of apertures of the irises was a dense array of electrodes.

Kyle had just taken a skewer of barbecue from the gift box. He turned off the device and handed the entire box to the visitor without looking back.

"It's delicious."

He took a bite of the skewer and gave his feedback seriously.

The brown-haired young man stood aside holding the box, his tall body motionless, like a mannequin in a shop window.

The only difference was that it was staring straight at him.

Su Yao looked at Kyle, then at the brown-haired young man, "...You don't want to introduce yourself at all?"

Kyle took another bite, "What's the introduction?"

Su Yao: "...Every time I feel like I'm not doing well socially, you make me feel like I'm still a normal person."

The brown-haired young man's eyes became a little strange.

Of course, it may also be because those are the optical lenses of a pair of mechanical eyes, which are inherently different from human eyes.

Kyle finally finished eating a whole skewer of exotic beast meat and was looking down at the thin jade skewer in his hand, on which was carved the brand name.

Then he raised his head.

"Oh, you said it," he seemed to have just realized, "just think of it as my robot butler."

Su Yao: "..."

The brown-haired young man smiled at her, "Yes, it's nice to meet you, young lady."

Kyle glanced back at it.

The brown-haired young man's expression didn't change at all, and the corners of his mouth didn't move. "I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, he took a few steps back until he was about five or six meters away, then quickly left.

Su Yao withdrew her gaze from the receding figure.

Then he turned to look at the netizen next to him.

Kyle stood very straight, but his posture was casual yet elegant, and he always seemed relaxed.

At this moment, he slowly took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of light-colored eyes.

The two rows of curled eyelashes were half hidden in the deep eye sockets, but the exposed part was still very long, casting a small and fragmented shadow under the eyes.

The irises of those eyes were very light in color, and in the dim, cloudy day, they turned into a misty gray.

Such light-colored eyes can easily appear cold.

And he just didn't happen to be the expressive type.

Looking over at this moment, an indescribable sense of oppression suddenly arises.

That was also a very strange feeling -

Su Yao didn't think he had any ill intentions.

But some instinct still made her alert, and a shiver ran down her spine.

The desire to fight and to flee surged in my chest.

But before she even had time to capture or carefully analyze these feelings, everything disappeared.

Su Yao: "By the way, after your red-eyed eagle lizard awakens, will it have that color block here?"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and traced the area around her eyes with her fingertips.

Kyle was silent for a few seconds, "...Yes, it is possible."

There was a hint of light at the corners of his eyes.

Two bright facial lines of a mixture of orange and red follow the contours of the upper and lower eyelids, shaped like brushstrokes in an ink painting, spreading left and right to the bridge of the nose and hairline.

His skin was already fair, and these two bright spots looked even more distinct.

Su Yao: “!”

Theoretically, this seems to be used by red-eyed eagle lizards to intimidate their enemies?

Putting it on this person's face looks more like something used to show off their charm and woo a mate -

cough cough cough.

Su Yao put away some thoughts that were gradually turning yellow in her mind.

Kyle lowered his eyes and watched the girl's changing expressions. "Do you like this?"

"...I," Su Yao coughed lightly, "let's go down and play."

The buildings in the offshore heavy industrial zone are shrouded in gray smoke, smog and acid rain are kept out by a barrier, but the city still looks prosperous and magnificent.

The dens of luxury among the city's upper class, whether they are entertainment clubs or large hotels, all have powerful backers behind them. They are able to carve out a large piece of territory in this city where every inch of land is valuable, and even have their own airport.

But this is all outside the city.

The commercial street inside is a completely different scene.

Once you enter the city center, you will be caught in a complex transportation network.

There is no proper government here, the transportation system is unregulated, and the drones over the gangs' territories are only there to warn of intruders.

The air routes of the hover cars and the sky tracks of the aircraft overlap and crisscross, like a dense net covering the overhead. Countless vehicles are circling in the air, and there are collisions and scratches from time to time.

There are numerous shops on the commercial street, and there are shopping areas of all levels. There are also many pedestrians on the street, some of whom look like tourists and some like residents.

Su Yao also saw some gang members.

Implants can be seen on their body surfaces, and there are similar tattoos on their faces or arms, but those who are leading the group are clean.

——The higher the bloodline level, the less the need for artificial assistance.

She didn't observe too much and even restrained her abilities on purpose.

Considering the little lizard around her, Su Yao thought it would be better for her to stay out of trouble.

"By the way," she tugged at Kyle's sleeve, "you said before that my mental strength has improved? Did the trainer describe my previous mental strength to you?"

Kyle looked down at her, "…he did say that."

Prince Fenrir performed his duties conscientiously and issued a detailed and meticulous report.

Su Yao nodded. "However, how can I describe the strength of my mental power so that... you can realize that I have improved when you see me?"

Kyle answered without hesitation: "Tell me about someone we both know as a comparison."

Su Yao suddenly realized, "I see."

She took the opportunity to ask how to sense other people's mental power. "Your friend doesn't recommend that I use my special ability to test it, saying that it might be troublesome if I'm discovered."

"You can use your abilities if you want."
Kyle didn't care, "Come to me if anything goes wrong."

Su Yao: "...Looking for you to hire someone to kill someone to solve the problem?"

Kyle glanced at her and said, "No need to buy it."

Su Yao looked up at the sky, "It's not a matter of money!"

"Even if you use other methods, as long as the opponent's mental strength is stronger than yours, it will be easy to find out, so there is no difference in essence--"

Kyle told her some techniques on how to use mental power.

If it was a few days ago, Su Yao might still be confused.

But she had done some training recently, and just now she successfully used her mental power to eavesdrop on the conversation in the room in the hotel.

According to professional terms, the ability to use outward mental power as an extension of the senses is called the skill of perceptual tentacles, and it is the entry point into the field of perception.

The power of the mental force system is extremely complex, and the mental body is only a part of it.

"I understand," Su Yao nodded. "Smooth output is to avoid the kind of explosive nature that is drawn out of the body all at once--"

She gestured with her hand, not knowing how to describe it for a moment.

"that is--"

There was a sudden noise in front, followed by a figure approaching rapidly.

Su Yao paused.

This was not a targeted attack.

It was a man being chased by several gang members.

One of the gang members knocked him flying towards them.

In fact, she didn't need to hide. Even if she stood still, others would be the ones who got hurt.

But that might not be in line with the character of the golden gradient. Therefore, Su Yao still symbolically dodged for a while, and even let the man rub against her slightly to make it more realistic.

She even pretended to sway as if she was not standing firmly, and even reached out to hold on to the billboard next to her.

"……what happened?!"

The man was knocked flying and bumped into more than one person along the way. At this time, someone couldn't help cursing.

But before he could utter a few words, he looked up and saw the gang members approaching aggressively, and he immediately fell silent.

Passersby all dodged to the side, not wanting to get into trouble.

The person who was knocked flying fell quietly on the ground, completely unconscious.

"Damn it, you owe money and you still want to run away--"

Those gang members all looked ferocious, and the tubes extending from the cortical implants crossed the surface of their bodies and penetrated into the back of their necks or spines, making them look even more terrifying.

They seemed very satisfied with the passers-by's tact, but at the same time there was a bit of contempt in their eyes.

Su Yao also dodged with the crowd.

As a result, a gang member passed by her, took two steps to the side, and bumped into her shoulder.

Su Yao: "..."

Su Yao pretended to be shaken by the collision.

"It smells like..."
The gang member turned his head to look at her with a sneer on his face, "I thought you were some powerful person, but you turned out to be a loser."

This guy wants to say lion, right?
Su Yao lowered her head silently.
She didn't want anyone to see her eyes.

The gang members dragged the debtor off the ground and took him directly to the house across the street.

Su Yao looked at the staircase where they disappeared, stared at it for a few seconds, turned her head and restored her expression, "Where were we talking about?"

Kyle looked down at her, "Is there anything you want to do?"

Su Yao smiled, "...No."

The two then began to discuss mental power.

After turning a street, they stood at a fork in the road.

On the left is a bustling market area. Various snack stalls are scattered on both sides of the rugged and winding streets, and rich aromas fill the air.

On the right is the waterfront, where there are neon-lit bars by the water and interesting bionic people soliciting customers at the doors. You can hear laughter and talking from afar.

Suddenly, there was a roar of an engine behind me.

Two flashy flying motorcycles were approaching at a slowing speed.

Because it has no outer wall compartment, the flying motorcycle is much smaller than an aircraft and can fit into various small paths.

The motorcycle riders looked young, with colorfully dyed hair and their mechanical eyes flashing back and forth.

One of the motorcycles began to accelerate.

The rider just stood up, raised one hand, and made a grasping motion in the air.

The car was passing Kyle.

The rider flipped his hand in the air, and a light computer appeared in his palm.

Fei Mo roared away.

Su Yao didn't pay much attention to them. She was awakened by the sound and was stunned. "What he is holding seems to be yours--"

Kyle stood on the side facing the street. "My optical brain."

Su Yao: "..."

Su Yao: "Doesn't your optical computer have a safety lock? Can others take it away?"

Kyle said calmly, "He used his special ability to transfer it."

Su Yao cast a sympathetic look, "What model?"

"forget."

"Ok."

Su Yao said helplessly.

In fact, she was distracted just now because she felt like she couldn't swallow this.

"Actually," Su Yao whispered, "I seem to have seen someone I know. I'll go look for her over there. Can you wait for me around here?"

On second thought, Kyle's laptop was stolen, so is it inconvenient to contact him?

"Ah."

Kyle nodded first and pulled one hand out of his pocket. Between his slender and powerful fingers, there was a light computer hanging.

Exactly the same as the one that had just been stolen.

Su Yao: "…………You are well prepared, how many did you bring?"

Kyle glanced at her and said, "Guess."

"No guessing," Su Yao was in no mood at all, "I'll be back later, be careful not to get stolen again."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the crowd.

She went back along the same route she had come, returned to the place where those gang members had just beaten someone up, walked across the street, and gestured to the bodyguards in the distance not to follow her in for the time being.

Then he stepped into the dimly lit corridor.

Su Yao first released her mental power to feel it, and then went up to the next floor.

In the dark corridor, she could already hear screams.

Su Yao rolled up her sleeves, stretched, walked to the room, and kicked the security door to pieces.

Inside was a dirty and messy warehouse with worn-out express boxes piled up in the corner, and in the middle a group of gang members were beating the debtor.

Hearing the noise at the door, they all turned around in surprise.

"Grass?!"

The group of young people looked at the shattered security door and then looked at her.

Their eyes dropped down to the pair of long legs with clear muscular lines and smooth white skin.

No traces of prosthetic limbs were found, nor were any auxiliary enhancement plug-ins apparent.

Then their expressions changed.

Su Yao looked at one of them, "You bumped into me just now, didn't you? And you said I was a waste?"

……

At the same time, at the door of a factory in the next block.

Two flying motorcycles landed from the sky, and the riders jumped off, reaching into their pockets with a grin on their faces.

"That guy is definitely a rich guy. I can tell at a glance that it's a custom-made optical computer. This kind of stuff starts at hundreds of thousands of dollars—"

There were a few people in the factory, and there were several motorcycles parked around, all of which were colorfully painted and had various performance modifications.

"Really? Take it out and let me see it!"

"Okay, I--"

The rider's face changed.

He searched the two side pockets of his coat, and then went to feel the pockets of his pants, "Fuck, where's the laptop?! Xiao Liu, did you see me take away that stupid big guy's laptop?!"

The companion who came back with him nodded and said, "I see!"

"Fuck it, now it's gone!"
The rider gritted his teeth, "Maybe it's his ability. Damn, how dare you play tricks on me? I have his image in my eyes, and the woman next to him is also a rich person. I wanted to take her earrings, but her position was not convenient!"

"Brother Wang," Xiao Liu said hesitantly, "That one seems to be a cat as well. I think it's the same species as me, but it feels much stronger than me."

"Because you are trash, anyone who is a human is better than you!"
The rider sneered, "If she is really high-level, she is valuable stuff. It just so happens that the boss and his men want high-level cats!"

The advanced ones he mentioned were actually just D-level or at most C-level. After all, anything above that was rare.

The rider said, rolling his mechanical eyes, "I'll send you the video. They're probably still at the waterfront."

……

Su Yao left the small warehouse.

The half-dead gang members lay on the ground, all unconscious.

The mechanical prosthetic limbs of several people were broken, and metal fragments and broken cables were scattered on the ground.

She hummed a song as she walked out of the building, and walked briskly back to the fork in the road. She saw the man in black standing by the wall.

Kyle tilted his head slightly and looked into the distance.

It was exactly the direction the previous rider had left.

"Hey!"
Su Yao jumped over and asked, "Is everything okay?"

"Well," he turned around, "what about you?"

"It's fine. I recognized the wrong person, but I talked to them for a while--"

Before he finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly erupted in the distance.

A dazzling burst of fire shot up into the sky, illuminating the dark sky.

Everyone on the street turned to look.

"Hey, it's okay."

Someone clicked on the light computer and waved to the companion next to him.

"My sister is over there. She said it was just a factory building that exploded."
