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

"what?"
Su Yao was a little surprised, "You're not dating anyone?"

Dylan was stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of resentment in his green eyes. "You know I'm single, right?"

"I thought that meant no one was engaged, but you..."
Su Yao coughed lightly, "Anyway, what is the process like?"

She had long thought about whether someone would use similar methods to avoid forced matching and dating, and pay less money.

Theoretically, people above level A will never be short of money.

But not everyone can inherit a huge inheritance, and even rich people may not be willing to pay the fine every time.

Su Yao didn't feel too sorry.

Firstly, she had a lot of money, and she had endless income every day. Secondly, the cost of hosting a banquet for the nobles was higher than the fine.

Every dish at the banquet has to have a story to tell; if the ingredients are a little ordinary, it might be laughed at.

The total cost of the banquets held by the predecessor was enough to pay several years of fines.

The same is true for anyone of her status and position.

She had basically no interest in this sort of thing.

Even if sometimes you have to do this, just like your predecessor, you may not like it very much, you just follow the rules.

However, Su Yao was not going to accept any rules. As long as her life was not threatened, no one could force her to do anything she didn't want to do.

So just this part can save a lot.

In this world, the prices of daily necessities are very low, as are housing and transportation expenses. In addition, citizens have high physical fitness and good medical and social security.

Ordinary working class people will not feel stressed with a monthly salary of several thousand yuan, and can still ensure a good quality of life.

However, for the upper class, there are so many places to spend money, and the upper limit is almost unimaginable for ordinary people.

"Look at this."

Dylan clicked on a window, dragged it between them, and asked her to look at the table on it. "That's basically the information."

Su Yao's eyes passed over the name, gender, age, ancestry, and ID chip number, "...Is this frequency of sexual life serious?"

Dylan nodded indifferently, "It doesn't matter. You decide how many times a day."

Su Yao: “???”

one day?
Su Yao was full of question marks, "Are you in heat every day?"

Dylan tilted his head in an innocent tone, "I said fill in the form, you decide how to write it."

"…Write your grandpa's head, the frequency here is in weeks!"
Su Yao suddenly wanted to kick him away, "Forget it."

She looked at other outrageous things in the form, such as "expected number of births" and "expected time of marriage".

Su Yao's mouth twitched as she read it, and she couldn't help but search to see if there was any similar dregs in the empire.

She flipped through the web pages and found that Seria was indeed much better.

Unmarried and childless citizens will receive matching results and recommended highly compatible partners every month, arranged from high to low based on the values, and those with the same values ​​will be arranged according to their bloodline level.

The completeness of each person's identity information depends on how much they are willing to fill out. If you like someone, you can send an application. After both parties agree, they can meet for a date. There is no compulsory means.

Participation is voluntary for those below level B, and mandatory for those above level B. If no one chooses, they will have to pay a single tax.

But the tax is much less than the fine here.

Those who are married or unmarried but have children will no longer be forced to participate in the matching.

“…Why can’t you learn from them?!”

Su Yao pointed at the projection window angrily.

"The purpose of the matching system should be to help those who want to find a highly compatible partner, rather than forcing others who want to be free to fall in love or want to be single!"

"You are right," Dylan agreed, "but the number of A-class and S-class in the Empire is far greater than that in Olai. In fact--"

The Empire has more S-classes, including all the half-bloods and original bloods, than all the forces outside the Empire combined.

"Even if we count those without legal citizenship... For example, there are more than ten S-rank Seraphs, right?"
Dylan said, "The number of S-level in Ole, whether before or after the war, is only a fraction of others, and the same is true for A-level."

"…Because the Empire's star region is larger than all other known star regions combined, the population base should be larger, right? Isn't this normal?"
Su Yao complained in a low voice, "If our country envies this, it would be better to expand the territory instead of urging marriage and childbirth."

"Hmm? I can't tell you're still a war fanatic? Who do you want to fight?"
Dylan asked excitedly, "If it's those small forces, we can handle it with our fleet."

Of course, those remote planets are also very barren, and there is no point in conquering them, so people with this ability would not do such a thing.

As for those planets with certain value, within the known range, they are either stably owned by a certain force or are conflict areas.

In the past, the Seria Empire intimidated other forces, so that the strong people in most countries, including the Empire, did not dare to go too far.

"Now, in theory, the emperor of the empire is more prestigious, but anyone who has seen him knows that—"
Dylan shook his head. "It's obvious that he's not someone who wants to care about these mundane matters."

Although not many people have seen that person.

"It's just that, you know, he doesn't really look like a human being. I think the desire for power and other things are just..."

"In fact, I'm talking about exploring the unknown and unowned star regions in the distance."
Su Yao rolled her eyes at him. "There have been wars in the years since the disintegration of the Federation. Many people have fled. Now it's still unknown where they are. I think there must be some places we haven't found yet."

"Well, if that's what you mean, then it sounds quite interesting."

The relationship ended there and they never talked about it again.

Anyway, there won’t be a second match in the short term.

But the follow-up to the last match came surprisingly quickly.

Dylan tapped on his laptop, "...you seem to be on the trending search again?"

"Are you kidding me? How long has it been?!"

"Not surprising. The order of hot searches I set is related to the content I'm interested in, and I added a lot of keywords related to you."

Su Yao didn't want to know what those were at all.

But she soon saw her own gossip.

The government will not release anyone's matching results because they claim that these are private.

So now it is just a revelation from an unknown source.

Several internet celebrities with considerable traffic and more than eight-digit fans reposted an article.

The author of the article claimed that he had matched with an S-level player, but that S-level player looked down on him for being a mere B-level player and humiliated him.

The comment section still has a familiar flavor.

"The author said that the match was under 20 years old, and he used the word 'she', so it must be that one, right? Did you run away from your fiancé and end up in this situation?"

"Why do you still look down on other people's ranks? She wasn't rare even when there were S-rank ones before."

"This is hilarious. Whose fans are still talking about ranks? Someone gave up his S-rank fiancée for a classmate who could be weakened by a simulated battlefield. I don't know who it is."

"Indeed, this is at least B-level. The one who almost fainted in the simulated battlefield is probably not even C-level. How dare you talk about level?"

"..."

Su Yao looked through the messages speechlessly, "I'm convinced. They've obviously been waiting for me for a long time."

But her navy is also ready to fight at any time.

So I immediately joined the battlefield.

"This is unlike His Majesty," Dylan watched with relish, "because he knows Ruan Jiao's rank, and he won't take the initiative to bring up rank."

Su Yao looked at the text of the article carefully, "...This doesn't look like the person I matched with."

Before they finished speaking, they found something new.

It was another person who claimed that he was the B-level who matched with the S-level. He said that the article was pure nonsense and even showed a screenshot of the matching results.

The personal information on it was erased, but according to the system records, the two of them had been on the same phone for some time.

Then in the end, the fine was paid to end the match.

This person said that the matching partner did not mention anything about bloodline level, but it was because he did not know how to speak that he offended the other person, so the other person paid the fine.

"That guy immediately slid to his knees after he guessed my identity..."
Su Yao thought about it and said, "I don't think you are the type who would want to offend me, unless you get a lot of benefits?"

This person's remarks have caused a new disturbance.

"Have you been threatened?"
"What on earth could I say to make someone spend millions of dollars?"

Dylan looked at it for a while, "Oh, it seems to be a retreat to advance——"

Su Yao showed little interest. "Let them quarrel."

Anyway, due to legal issues, no one dared to name names in such articles, otherwise she could sue them and put them in jail.

The remarks made by the internet trolls and AI accounts are meaningless.

As for normal passers-by, there is too much false information these days, and most people will not believe it completely.

The instigator was probably the king, but he didn't necessarily do it himself. He probably handed it over to someone else. In any case, he didn't want her to have an easy life.

By the way, divert the public's attention.

"…Does he really think that many people care about his precious son?"

"Don't tell me, there are still many people who care. Have you forgotten how much reward there is for your personal information on the dark web? Guess who did it?"

"I understand. Those who unilaterally think they are my rivals in love——"
Su Yao felt a little nauseous. "No, I can't stand this statement. I feel sick even if I just say it."

"Ha, then let's not talk about it."

Dylan's laptop started to buzz.

"There's an alert for a high-altitude particle storm," the silver-haired young man looked up at the sky, "our route home has been affected. Even if the ship is torn apart, we'll be fine, but you don't have teleportation abilities, so it'll be a bit troublesome in space without a ship. You can actually make one."

Su Yao was stunned. "My awakening is only half-baked."

She already knew that special abilities could be developed.

Especially for people with S-level bloodline, they can possess many types of abilities, which theoretically cover almost all major categories.

However, the so-called development capabilities are actually just doing some relevant training.

But this is definitely not something that can be done in a day or two. "It doesn't matter," Dylan shook his head, "My first ability was pretty useless, so after I found out what was going on, I took the initiative to develop the next one."

He actively shared training logs and related projects, “…you can refer to them.”

"Thank you."
Su Yao was quite interested. "So you have abilities related to teleportation? How long did it take you to develop it?"

"About a year or so. I'm not very talented in this area. Don't look at me like that. Seriously, the higher the level, the easier it is to develop new abilities."

Dylan paused, "Like the emperor of next door Seria... He probably has more than a hundred abilities. In terms of age, he is not much older than me."

"how do you know?"

"From what my parents said, they had been in relatively close contact with him before, and had seen him use various abilities."
He paused, "As for his age, it was calculated based on the family tree. I don't know whether he knew how old he was when he was found by the Seria royal family."

……

The outskirts of the imperial star region.

On an asteroid with no signs of life.

Kyle stood on the barren plain, looking at the remains of the pyramid-shaped building in front of him.

Those snow-white, crystal-structured pyramids are now only left with broken frames, the steps have almost become hollow, and only the outlines of the base and the spire remain.

Dozens of pale lights flickered in the sky above the top of the tower.

They are composed of countless tiny particles, rotating in a spiral, converging from different directions and slowly rotating around the top of the tower.

"Another confluence point, your majesty."
Someone behind them said, "The Light Race's Rift Gate is forming, and the laws of space and time around the confluence point are being affected. Without the core will outputting power behind them, they should not be able to project such a thing in our world..."

Kyle turned around.

There is a group of people standing behind.

The Director of Imperial Intelligence was at the front, flanked by his deputies.

The Secretary of State for Defence, the Lords Armed Services Committee and the Chairman of the National Security Council stood aside, seemingly afraid to make any comments at this time.

Behind these imperial officials, there were a few people standing silently.

They were all fully awakened S-class, and were well-known nobles in Sairea. They were also relatives of the royal family.

But like the officials, these princes and dukes did not seem to intend to interrupt at this time.

Through bloody history, people have long realized that if they want to deal with the Light People, they can only rely on the most advanced power bestowed by their awakened bloodline.

In other words, A-level, S-level, and super S-level.

That's all.

Because the weapons and technology that humans are proud of are just like children's toys in front of that civilization from another universe.

Even the most elite Imperial fleets, with their equipment alone, are unable to cause harm to the advanced Lightborn.

Of course, if it is to deal with ordinary mechas of the Light Clan, it can be done, but if the core will is not destroyed, these things will be endless.

On the other hand, after the core will disappeared, the Light Clan's army quickly perished in large numbers.

——The core will is the highest level of the Light Race, and is also the source of power for this group of mechanical creatures.

Even a fully awakened S-class would have difficulty harming the core wills, and only a handful of people could repel them.

Most S-class can only fight against the next-level Light Clan Central, and it is very difficult to win.

So far, there is only one person who can destroy the core will.

"They reassemble in another dimension."
Kyle said calmly, "You have already analyzed their energy cores. Those constituent elements do not exist in this universe. That's what you said."

He looked at He Yan.

The director of the Intelligence Bureau lowered his head slightly. "...This is not the most rigorous statement, because there are still places in this world that we have not explored yet."

"They are."
Kyle interrupted it, "If they come back, I'll deal with them again."

He said as he looked up at the remains of the pyramid again.

Under the highly acidic clouds, a large mass of rolling black fog suddenly emerged from the dark and gloomy sky.

It was as if there was a real mist that was constantly swaying, covering the snow-colored light stream.

The particles in the light stream began to tremble, casting blurry shadows. The black mist silently enveloped them and decomposed them into dust.

The two forces were in conflict with each other. Invisible waves came from the sky, rolling down in waves, washing away the desolate and silent land.

The huge wave of energy swept past, and almost everyone couldn't help but retreat.

Among the carbon-based creatures present, none of their bloodline levels were lower than S-level, otherwise their bodies would have decomposed in this impact.

But they still couldn't completely steady themselves.

Only the figure in the front still stood there.

He even kept his hands in his pockets.

The black fog above the pyramid dissipated, and the light stream disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, a certain force field covering the planet also dissipated.

Everyone's electronic devices have restored signal.

Kyle turned around and said, "It's over, but it doesn't mean anything. After a while, a similar confluence will appear somewhere else—"

If he really wants to solve this matter once and for all, he may have to wait until he figures out a way to enter the plane where the Guangyi clan's lair is located.

Moreover, this race is obviously entrenched in multiple levels of the universe, and it will take a lot of time to completely eliminate them.

Of course, this was not his motivation for exploring how to travel between planes.

Because he didn't really care about the survival of the human community.

He has always just been doing what interests him.

Besides, even if the Light Race was wiped out, it does not necessarily mean that other similar races would not appear.

At this stage, if he had to decide, he would actually prefer to destroy the Boundary Rift Gate when it was about to take shape.

Although the Light Race would not feel angry, he did not intend to provoke them.

It just saves time and you can come less often.

If it were in the past, he might not care too much, it was just his sleep being disturbed.

now--

It's a little different.

However, he also knew why these people were so anxious. They were simply afraid that the rift gate at the confluence point would be completely formed and the Light Race would re-enter this world.

They had said this many times, each time with fear in their hearts.

Even the Director of the Intelligence Agency was included. As modified silicon-based creatures, they were more easily dominated by the Light People.

Kyle lowered his head and clicked on his computer.

[Hold on, don’t block me yet]: Have you arrived yet? How are things at home? [Puppy question mark tilted head.jpg]
Kyle: "..."
It seems that we have reached our destination and solved the problem.

[Why is it still an illegal nickname]: It’s here. It’s over. How about you?
[Hold on, don’t block it yet]: Be safe, there’s another storm warning just now, and several routes are affected.
[Hold on, don’t block him yet]: But since you can receive messages, you are obviously not in the disaster area.

A few seconds later, she started to complain about some weird person who had a good fit with her.

Kyle stared at the words, reading every word carefully.

Su Yao finished her talk in one breath, but felt that people might not want to hear these trivial things. She felt a little embarrassed and decided to say something else to ease the situation.

[Hold on, don’t block him yet]: Have you ever matched with someone?
[Hold on, don’t block me yet]: Have you ever encountered something similar? [Kitten rolling back and forth.gif]
The moment Kyle received the message, due to certain settings of the optical computer, this expression was thrown directly into the air.

The next second, everyone present saw the huge projection image.

It appeared before His Majesty the Emperor.

A soft, golden-orange, round-faced kitten rolled from side to side on the ground, then turned over on its back with its belly exposed, and lay flat on the ground with its two little paws stretched out.

"..."

In the deathly silence, people saw dozens of expressions projected into the air.

Kyle stared at the pile of emoticons, trying to find a suitable reply.

After searching for a while, he found a picture of a hand touching a cat's head, dragged it from the recommendation list, and put it into the input box of the chat window.

Then send.

Everyone present: “…………”

Compared to the performance of others, the Director of the Imperial Intelligence Agency was much calmer.

After all, it was it that pulled the Emperor away from Duke Su.

He Yan thought so.

Considering Duke Su's age, it is very normal for him to speak in such a tone and use such a cute expression.

Then, among the high-ranking officials and royal relatives who were all shocked and stiff in their postures—

He Yan suddenly discovered that someone's behavior was a little different.

The white-haired, blue-eyed man stood with his head bowed, his god-like handsome face calm.

But when he saw the tumbling kitten, he was slightly stunned, and his cold and sharp brows seemed to relax a little.

The next second, he looked towards it.

He Yan: "..."

Prince Fenrir: "..."

After confirming through eye contact, it was someone who knew Duke Su and also knew about her relationship with His Majesty the Emperor.

The Director of Intelligence thought so.

Even though it itself doesn't know how to define their relationship.
