Crossing the stars, I live-streamed my cultivation in kindergarten

Chapter 409 Frederick's Identity Exposed

While enjoying the "fish-sucking" experience, Frederick didn't forget to satisfy Jiang Yuxi's gossipy nature: "Only lower-middle-class nobles would care so much about this so-called elegance and sense of ritual."

The truly elite noble orcs revere strength above all else and the supremacy of the strong.

The top nobles set the rules of the game based on their strength, and the middle and lower-ranking nobles operate within this game circle according to the rules they set.

The so-called aristocratic etiquette and rules are all created by the top nobles for the orcs below to see.

Then these nobles believed it to be true, thinking that the so-called noble etiquette and rules were the dignity of the nobility.

That's why Dr. S's situation came about.

"In fact, if they are truly top-tier nobles, their arrogance is ingrained in their bones, and they would never be like Dr. S, whose arrogance is merely superficial."

Jiang Yuxi nodded: "I understand, I understand. That explains why he seemed a bit strange."

Earlier, Dr. S was putting on a ceremonial show with all the researchers in the lab.

Behind them, Jiang Yuxi and Frederick huddled together, whispering to each other.

Although their voices were indeed quite soft, every orc present had a keen sense of hearing.

Their whispers were overheard.

The atmosphere at the scene began to cool down, as if frozen solid for miles.

Frederick: "...Yes, that's right. He has the ambition to be superior to others, but he doesn't have the corresponding strength to support his ambition, so he can only find another way."

Jiang Yuxi said thoughtfully, "This is definitely a negative example. We need to tell the students at the school what to do about Nick Johnson?"

Frederick: "Nicholson."

"Students should learn from Nicholson's case and not resort to any means to achieve their goals."

Frederick nodded, "Yes, yes, yes." Everything Xixi said was right.

"And another thing, we still need to focus on improving students' abilities so that if they have ambitions—oops, I misspoke—I meant dreams, they need to have the strength to support those dreams."

In that case, a dream is no longer a dream, nor an ambition, but an ideal.

Frederick continued nodding, "Mhm, mhm, mhm." He didn't care about Nicholson, that idiot who had been completely fooled by the top nobles of the Federation and thoroughly brainwashed by the Rebel Alliance.

(*∩_∩*): He only cares about being able to be with Xixi every day~
Dr. S + Researcher: Are you guys being polite?
Researcher A: "Shut up! Say one more word and I'll activate the electric shock!"

Dr. S's grim expression frightened the researchers around him.

This was the first time they had ever seen Dr. S make that expression.

It seems like Dr. S is about to order someone else to be sent to the Insect Master Modification Room.

Less than three-tenths of the orcs were able to emerge from the insect-enhancing chamber.

The remaining three-tenths also had their memories erased and became living puppets who only obeyed Dr. S.

However, they were angry, but Frederick was even angrier than they were.

"Electrocution? You dare?!"

His tone was as if it came from hell, chilling even the beasts to the bone more than Researcher A.

"You've given us face, that's why Xixi and I are obediently listening to you talk here. Don't put on your savior-like act in front of us!"
"If my Xixi loses even a single hair, even with electric shock rings and restraint rings, believe me, I'll still rip this hellhole of yours down!"

Researcher A, who wanted to scare Jiang Yuxi and Frederick, was instead startled and let out a burp that smelled like insects.

He had witnessed firsthand the brutal scene of Frederick smashing the head of the newly appointed researcher and the insect user with a single punch, then setting the body on fire to cover his tracks. That experience left him with a deep-seated psychological trauma.

If it weren't for the worm inside him that had an exceptionally strong ability to conceal its presence, he would have ended up like the other researchers.

He still occasionally feels the cold, wet spray of his companions' blood and flesh onto his face and body in his dreams.

This phenomenon occurred even more frequently after it was confirmed that Frederick was still alive.

Dr. S pushed up his glasses and gave a faint smile: "General Frederick, now that you're on my turf, there's no need for you to put on that old act of being the de facto ruler of the Federation. It will only expose your current powerlessness."

Frederick grinned arrogantly and said, "Sorry, I'm used to being high and mighty, and I just can't learn to bow my head."

The dazzling red hair seemed even more striking and blinding under the stark white lights.

He had absolutely no sense of being the butcher and the fish on the chopping block.

Dr. S chuckled, "What a pity. It seems you'll have to learn to be humble from now on. But I'm sure you'll adapt quickly; after all, that's how you were when you were a child..."

"Oh, you're right. But the biggest difference between you and me is that you're ashamed to admit your past. Because your past is a stain, a disgrace, a failure to you. You went from being a nobleman to a bandit, something even notorious space pirates would spit on."

But for me, my past only further proves that my success and honors are entirely due to my own efforts.

He doesn't need the help of his family background, nor does he need the support of his wife, and he doesn't need to flatter or fawn over anyone.

When people talk about me, they may mock me for being a commoner who rose to become a general, but deep down they mostly envy and resent my achievements.

There is a fundamental difference between you and me.

You pay a lot of attention to me, I'm sure you've been envious and jealous a thousand times over, no, maybe even ten million times?

You might think, "Why isn't it you who has this kind of power, even though your status, wealth, and power—your starting point is so much stronger than mine."

Frederick's words hit the nail on the head.

Even Dr. S, who had weathered many storms, remained silent for two seconds.

"Admiral?"

"The de facto rulers of the federal government?"

"High and mighty?"

A faint voice sounded.

It's Jiang Yuxi.

She looked at Frederick expressionlessly: "General Frederick, who is of high standing, shouldn't you explain this to me properly?"

Frederick shuddered, his scalp tingling.

Oh no, oh no!
Hearing Researcher A mention "electric shock" made him so angry that he completely forgot his persona of educating the administrator in front of Xixi.

In an instant, his cool, arrogant, and domineering demeanor vanished, and he said with a guilty smile, "Xixi, I'm innocent! What's 'high and mighty'? I don't know that word at all. I haven't studied much."

When have I ever not been obedient in front of you?

Our family's rule has never been that you point to a place and I do it.

You said there's a school meeting tomorrow, so I'll start preparing the materials tonight?
You said you wanted an extra afternoon tea tomorrow, so the next day I secretly smuggled all the afternoon tea that Severudo made back to you without anyone noticing.
And last time you said you wanted to try it out, honey..."

"Shut up!"

Jiang Yuxi reacted quickly, manually muting her microphone, afraid he would say something that would make her lose face.
