After escaping from Arasaka, Lucy had to face the cannibalistic life pressure of Night City, as well as the hunt by her mother and Arasaka. Under such mental pressure, Lucy was just a little crazy, not a cyber psychopath. It can only be said that her endurance is really good.
"Cough...cough..."
Lucy laughed so hard that she started coughing, and even tears came out of her eyes. She held Si Ye's hand tightly, and her red and blue eyes seemed to be relieved.
"I never thought I would be able to get rid of those shadows one day. Thank you so much..."
"I'll take it as a thank you, Miss Lucy."
A mixture of incense and the smell of ladies' cigarettes came over. Si Ye looked Lucy up and down. The crazy beauty still had a unique charm.
Living in the overly open world of cyberpunk, Lucy is naturally very familiar with this kind of scrutiny. Normally, she would use her puppet to teach those who can't control their eyes a lesson.
But the person looking at her now was Si Ye, so Lucy smiled and stood there confidently for Si Ye to look at her.
"It seems that even though I come from a backward civilization, I still have some redeeming qualities. Should I consider calling you Your Majesty?"
Even if Night City would get better, even if the world that had become increasingly distorted by corporate wars would be corrected, Lucy didn't plan to stay in that world anymore. Joining Night City's Imperial Realm was undoubtedly a very good choice.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. This is the way of survival in Night City. Si Ye wants something from her, and she is willing to pay some price. This makes Lucy, who is half a Night City person, feel inexplicably at ease.
"Well...it does have some merits, but you should wait until your body is adjusted. Although your prosthetics are not highly modified, it is obvious that your emotions have affected your body. I don't like to take advantage of others in distress."
Lucy's emotional release not only messed up her various physiological indicators, but also caused problems with her brain prosthesis. The fact that she could still stand and talk to Si Ye was entirely due to the adrenaline.
The most important thing is to replace the opponent's outdated prosthetics first, otherwise Lucy will suddenly crash one day. Although the life-size dolls are beautiful, Si Ye doesn't like playing with dolls.
And to be frank, there is a bit too much meat in Si Ye's Star Sea Emperor pot, so the meat like Lucy that can't escape the edge of the bowl can be put aside for now.
"Empire is a world where you get what you pay for. You'll love it."
“…Um…I’m looking forward to it then.”
Lucy obviously felt unwell, and with a confused expression on her face, she was pushed back to her seat by the medical robot.
These cyborgs, especially hackers, are like this. There are too many things in their brains, and excessive emotional fluctuations can become the trigger for breaking the dam.
"The impact point engine in Dead Space. According to the Pan-Human Community's regulations, Wandering Earth should need rescue. We also need to return to Terra to build a boundary gate. Yellow Skin, Evil God... There's a lot to deal with. Oh, and those angel wings... Angel..."
Si Ye shook his head and began to count the things he had on hand, but as he counted, his thoughts wandered to the angel...
"Angels, if only it were Ikaros, those angels in Super God...tsk...'justice', the Empire's Burning Heaven Divine Soldiers are justice..."
As Si Ye muttered to himself, the battleship stepped into the back of Jupiter. A huge door that was constantly surging with energy and light stood there. With a slight tremor, it embarked on the journey back to the empire.
...
Chapter 249: Millet Comes to Accompany
"Won't the new lady be placed in the palace?"
After arranging a place for Lucy to stay, Si Ye saw Huifeng who appeared in front of him with a smile.
When Lucy, a slightly crazy girl, saw that the Star Empire also had a solar system, she decisively asked to live on the moon. That place used to be a military fortress of the Earth Federation, and was later transformed by the Human Federation into a semi-military and semi-civilian colonial city. The scenery was not very good.
But she still moved in, saying that she wanted to adapt to the lifestyle of the Star Sea Empire first to avoid making a fool of herself.
"She likes the moon, let her be."
Si Ye pretended not to notice Hui Feng's teasing look and took the neatly arranged list of various approval items from him.
"There haven't been any new changes to those doors, especially the one with the yellow-skinned man."
"Not at the moment. Everything is very quiet. All kinds of security measures are being installed."
There was an application marked by Gray Wind on the data panel, and she continued:
"Several scientists in charge of the [Trans-World Exploration Program] have jointly requested additional supplies to conduct further experiments to increase the success rate of the door opening."
The current success rate of the cross-world portal is obviously very problematic, so it is not surprising that there are research applications to improve its reliability.
Si Ye's only worry was that some strange things would appear from the other side of the door and catch the Star Sea Empire off guard.
"...We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. I agree. More worlds mean more opportunities. Remember to maximize security."
Although the Evil God of the Void Realm explained a way to upgrade the dimension, Si Ye did not intend to completely believe him. In other words, the way to upgrade the dimension mentioned by the other party also required the empire to connect with more worlds, so it was naturally necessary to continue opening the door.
Stopping exploration for fear of uncovering something strange is not in Si Ye's style. Moreover, if treasures can be found in the cyberpunk world, there should be some in other worlds as well.
Si Ye's collecting habit started to stir.
"I understand. The approval has been passed and resources are being allocated."
A faint blue light flashed in Huifeng's eyes, and he completed the issuance of orders and the allocation of supplies in an instant.
"Your Majesty, please open your mouth. I'll be keeping an eye on these key nodes involving top-secret plans. I can't hang out with Your Majesty any longer... Once I'm done, I'll be asking for more rewards."
Huifeng gave him a charming look, then turned into a speck of silver-gray sand and sank into the transmitter. Si Ye only felt a phantom pain in his waist.
"Damn it, I have to find a way to add some buffs to myself."
Scratching his face, Si Ye, the idle Star Sea Emperor, began to check the locations of the former civilization duo and Shu. As for the Rhine Life trio headed by Christen, there was no need to look at them. These three were probably still working hard to brush up on their books at the Fleet Academy.
Dr. and Friston are still at the research center.
According to the real-time information summary, while these two former civilization leaders were researching and solving the problem of extended hibernation, they also cooperated with the Imperial Academy of Sciences to combine the technology of the former civilization with the technology of the Star Empire to develop a new hibernation technology that can be applied in the medical field. It can freeze the state of people who are dying and cannot receive effective treatment immediately, and then thaw and treat them after being pulled to the rear.
The monkey version of the static stance...
Since the other party was busy, Si Ye didn't bother him and instead checked Shu's location.
"What are you looking at?"
"Looking for someone,"
“Who are you looking for?”
A gentle female voice rang in his ears, and a fragrance of soil mixed with elegant aroma came to his face. Si Ye said without raising his head
"Looking for the gentle and lovely Miss Shu, do you know where she is?"
On the way, he met the split of Grey Wind. Upon learning that Si Ye had returned, Shu Nan became playful and wanted to sneak up on Si Ye to give him a little surprise.
But Si Ye's slightly playful words made the tips of her ears slightly red.
"Why do you use the word 'cute' on me and not on Miss Muirseth? Why do I feel like you, Si Ye, have something in mind?"
The sneak attack plan failed, and Shu returned to her usual dignified and virtuous demeanor. Perhaps because she was sensitive, she always felt that there was something behind Si Ye's words.
"You and Muirseth are both equally cute. Well, this is a certification from the Star Sea Emperor."
Si Ye's thumbs-up was slapped away by Shu.
"Then I'll take it as a compliment."
Shu looked around but didn't see his noisy sister, and couldn't help feeling confused.
"What about Nian? I heard from Gray Wind that she went to the new world with you?"
Even though he had made up for a lot of common sense and still had some residual knowledge from the old beast in his mind, the concept of crossing the world was still a bit difficult for Shu to understand.
But Shu has a gentle personality and won't dwell on things he's not good at. Once he gets a general idea, he won't delve into it any further.
"Nian is gathering a new group of actors in that world and is currently filming a movie. She hopes to dominate the film and television industry on the Terra continent with works of a different style."
The Sui family was a close family, but the distance of a world was clearly too great. Fearing that Shu might worry, Si Ye continued:
"Why don't you go and take a look at that world? Although there aren't many beautiful sights there due to pollution and war, the entry threshold for hydroponic agricultural technology there is lower, and they've even developed crops that can be used as energy."
Si Ye raised his hand, and a bunch of high-quality pure 2 wheat appeared in his hand.
"High-sugar crops...used as energy fuel?"
Seeing the new crops, power flashed in Shu's eyes, and the cause and effect of this bundle of wheat slowly unfolded before her.
"If all the land is used to grow this...what will the people in that world eat?"
Shu immediately discovered the beauty of this crop. As someone who had been stationed in the wilderness for hundreds of years just to fulfill his friend's wish of feeding everyone, he discovered that there was a world that used precious land to grow crops for energy.
"Eat synthetic food, that world..."
Si Ye explained to Shu some of the situations in the cyberpunk world, and it was visibly that Shu's aura became more solemn.
Just as Nian said, if Shu knew about the situation in the cyberpunk world, she would just want to replant those companies that promoted Chun 2 Wheat and behaved like humans back into the soil.
However, Shu's idea failed. He suffered a round of public opinion attack from Sasha, and a large number of farms were destroyed by a cluster of unmanned robots with out-of-control AI. The biotechnology company collapsed before Si Ye could deal with him.
The Mexican drug lord who had extensive cooperation with biotechnology did try to seize the legacy of his fallen boss, but before he could get the legacy, he was wiped out by the fleet using quantum missiles.
"Alright, alright. The Empire has already occupied that world. As long as the people there are not hopeless, they will gradually live a good life."
Si Ye comforted the angry Shu. It was indeed a rare sight. Seeing Shu, who was always so calm towards everyone, showing such a fierce expression, Si Ye couldn't control himself and pinched his puffed cheek.
"So, do you want to go to that world to see the New Year?"
"Um...are you going to do something serious again?"
Shu didn't expect Si Ye to launch a sneak attack. He covered the place where Si Ye pinched him with a strange expression.
"I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well go save the world."
The door numbered [1. The Wandering Earth] did not receive much attention because the doors behind it were more abstract than the last.
It was only when Si Ye came back from the cyberpunk world that he remembered the planetary engine that was cut in half. He didn't know what time point it was on the other side. Everything was fine at first, but suddenly something went wrong because of the missing engine.
Considering that the biggest problem in the world of The Wandering Earth is just a small matter like the solar explosion, and since he has nothing to do now, Si Ye plans to go over and rescue the other party.
What's more, in the face of crisis, the humans in that world can even spontaneously unite, work together as one, and overcome difficulties together. It can only be said that after seeing so many monsters and demons, the humans in that world seem a little too normal.
"… Saving the world is something you just do casually…"
Shu's tone was filled with admiration, and a hint of cunning suddenly flashed in her indifferent eyes. She looked up at Si Ye.
"If possible... could you take me with you to see it? After all, my sister has seen the scenery outside the world, and as her elder sister, I can't just stay in the well."
If Nian had come back, Shu might not have made such a request.
After all, it was Nian who knew Si Ye first, and Shu is not Xi. Shu probably wouldn't do something like snatching his sister's man in front of her.
But now that Nian is not around, Shu, who knows the reason behind the result, has become angry and wants to see what could have caused such a ridiculous scene to happen in the future.
