Chapter 24 Trip "You want the resources of planet YN1—and..."

Perhaps finding her spending all her time in the library too boring, King Sklag II checked the schedule and chose an expedition to YN1, taking Shi Wei on the spaceship with him.

Upon learning that she was going, the Second Prince Siman insisted on going with her. Shi Wei already found him annoying, but he, holding up his arm with a brace, accused her:

"It's because you cost me two billion star coins that I couldn't afford an S-class mecha and almost lost my life! I'm going!"

This guy was recently sent to the front lines to hunt down pirates on a small planet. After landing, he was ambushed. Although he wiped out the enemy, his mech was destroyed. When reinforcements found him, his limbs were no longer intact.

Similan was too badly injured, so he was immediately sent back to the capital to recuperate after he was out of danger.

Even though Shi Wei disliked him, she was too embarrassed to ask His Majesty to send away a son with broken limbs, so she could only pretend not to know about it.

"You're so badly injured, why don't you stay in the capital to recuperate? Why are you running around everywhere?" Shi Wei said coldly.

Similan was hurt by her merciless words and muttered, "Don't think I don't know you two went on a date, a publicly funded trip, ha!"

Shi Wei boarded the first spaceship without saying a word.

A young female Beta attendant helped her step onto the floating staircase.

Shi Wei was wearing a white uniform and looked no different from the other staff members. The only difference was that she had a hair clip in her hair with black vines and deep red rose crystals, which was understated yet gorgeous. This was to suppress the smell.

In addition, a tracking chip was implanted in her body, not to prevent her from escaping, but to prevent anything from happening to her.

Surprisingly, Prince Cyril was also there. Shi Wei looked at him with some surprise and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

The handsome and slender Crown Prince smiled at her, as if he understood what she was thinking, and explained, "Planet YN1 is very close to my fiefdom. This time, a large amount of resources were detected, and I want to go and see it for myself."

Oh, they're here to mark their territory.

It takes only a fraction of a second to understand.

This remote planet has recently been found to contain a large amount of rare element ores, all of which are materials that can be used in military industry. Therefore, it has been initially rated as an A+ level resource zone. Given its proximity to the Cyril fiefdom, it is quite normal for him to be greedy.

No wonder Similan insisted on coming along even though his hands and feet were just put back together. Of course, Cyril couldn't be allowed to devour such a big piece of meat by himself.

As Shi Wei walked past him, she smelled a faint floral fragrance, sweet and delightful, which made her take another look at Cyril—his face was really handsome.

No wonder he was rated as the empire's number one handsome man; there's a reason for it.

She went straight to the lounge. She was so excited about going out last night that she didn't sleep for half the night and was still very sleepy.

She quickly fell asleep, clutching the soft blanket. In her half-awake state, a familiar scent approached her. She sniffed it, rolled closer to the person beside her, and continued sleeping.

She was woken up at dinner time. When she walked into the restaurant, her face was still red, and she stared blankly as a small robot served her various dishes.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" His Majesty asked. Seeing her slowly shift her gaze to a dish in front of him, he knew she was still asleep. He poured her a glass of juice and then gave her the dish as well.

After drinking half a glass of juice, she finally felt a little more energetic. Shi frowned slightly and said, "I think I'm a little seasick."

With a chuckle, Similan, sitting diagonally opposite her, laughed and asked under his father's gaze, "You get seasick? Why didn't you get seasick last time you were on that smuggling spaceship?"

He dared to bring this up again!

Shi Wei instantly perked up and retorted, "What does my seasickness have to do with you?"

Cyril sat to Shi Wei's right. There were only the four of them at the table. His Majesty sat in the main seat, and she was to his right. Similan had arrived early and occupied the first seat to His Majesty's left. Cyril, who arrived late, sat directly to Shi Wei's left.

Upon hearing that she was seasick, the kind-hearted Crown Prince said, "I have some patches for treating dizziness. I'll have the robot deliver them to you later."

Shi Wei was flattered: "Ah, actually I'm not that dizzy. I probably just didn't sleep well last night. Don't worry about it."

The gentle eldest prince said it was alright, and that he would try it and see if it worked.

Siman sat down opposite them as if she had swallowed a fly, and began to mock her brother: "Oh, so considerate, huh? You didn't care about me this much when I was in the hospital?"

Cyril glanced at His Majesty before looking at his younger brother and smiled, "You're an S-class Alpha, how can you be so delicate? You weren't even awake when I went to the hospital... Miss Shi is an Omega, it's her first time on this kind of spaceship, so it's understandable that she's a little uncomfortable. Don't keep bothering her."

The last sentence resonated deeply with Shi Weixin, and she nodded vigorously in agreement.

Similan took a deep breath and smiled, revealing her gleaming white teeth: "It was my oversight, Miss Shi, you should get some rest."

Shi Wei felt flustered by his laughter, so she moved closer to His Majesty and decided to stop talking so as not to become an excuse for the two brothers to argue.

His Majesty didn't say anything from beginning to end, eating elegantly and occasionally adding some dishes for her.

After dinner, King Sklag II said to his sons, "From now on, you can eat in your own rooms. You don't need to keep me company."

Shi Wei nodded vigorously in her heart. She hadn't eaten much at noon, but ate a bit more at night, and that idiot Similan kept staring at her intently.

What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen the world before?

It's disgusting.

The father wanted to kick them out so he could have his own life with the two of them, and the two brothers had no choice but to obediently take their leave.

Both brothers are tall, long-legged top-tier Alphas, their boots clicking rhythmically on the metal floor.

People they encountered on the road bowed to them one by one. When they reached a fork in the road, Similan suddenly stopped and asked, "What kind of scheme are you plotting?"

“Smirnani, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” Cyril’s voice was calm and elegant.

"Do you want the resources of planet YN1—or Father's little sweetheart?"

They've been mortal enemies for so many years. Cyril could hide things from his father, but not from him. When did Cyril become so nice to Omegas? He always speaks to women with a forced smile, never a smile that truly touches his heart.

At the dinner table today, Cyril looked at Shi Wei at least eight times.

"My fiefdom is very close to YN1 star. Why can't I have some resources? Maybe Father will just allocate them to me directly?"

"Ah—what about Wei then?"

This time, there was no answer.

Similan understood. He turned to look at his older brother, leaned against the wall with one hand, raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Good brother, I'll give you this planet in exchange for a small favor."

"What kind of help?"

"Dad hasn't succeeded yet; the two of them are still playing the love games of eighteen-year-olds. How about you find a way to distract him and I'll seduce his little lover? What do you say?"

The younger brother smiled maliciously, but Cyril's gaze remained calm: "If you want to compete with Father, that's your business, but I don't recommend you use such methods."

"Who said I was going to force myself on you? Stop slandering me outside. Last time it was a real accident. Her... her pheromones were too strong—don't worry about that, just say yes or no?" Similan lost her patience.

My younger brother has a handsome face, strikingly good-looking, and he makes a firm promise.

He asked, "What are you going to do?"

Similan replied nonchalantly, "I'll use seduction."

Cyril paused for a moment, then said, "I refuse."

That sounds incredibly far-fetched.

Similan shook his arm, feeling like something was wrong with his hand, giving him a constant urge to punch someone.

"What, isn't this a great idea? If we get caught, Father will just beat me, but you won't have to take any responsibility. You'll get a whole planet for free."

Cyril said, "That's not how you pursue girls. Don't waste my time on jokes."

“Then how do I chase after him? He’s already cheated, transferring me so far away, what can I do… Who’s going to outlive him? By then we might have several more younger brothers and sisters.” Similan pressed down on Cyrildo’s shoulder and lowered his voice: “I don’t want that position anymore, I want this Omega.”

Cyril's dark blue eyes were fixed on his younger brother.

"Don't joke around, Father, it would be bad if you really took it seriously," he said slowly.

The younger brother looked at him with a sly smile: "Give me a hand, and if I marry her, I'll immediately ask for you to be made crown prince."

If that were the case, Cyril would certainly consider it. Giving up an Omega he had feelings for in exchange for a well-behaved younger brother would be a good deal.

But he knew his younger brother too well; just like him, he never spoke the truth: "Fine, then hand over your military power first."

“That won’t do. What if you go back on your word after I’ve taught you?” Similan isn’t stupid.

"Then forget it." Cyril turned and left; there was no point in talking anymore.

Similan didn't come to negotiate; he came to test him.

On the afternoon of the third day, they finally arrived at the small planet located at the northernmost point of the capital star.

Standing atop the mountain, looking out at the vast forest and plains, Shi Wei exclaimed in astonishment, "Is this...the wilderness?"

The Emperor himself is here, shouldn't we be given an SVIP parking spot?

King Scolari II chuckled and pointed to a cluster of gray, scattered buildings in the distance: "That's the capital."

“A thousand years ago, a large number of geomagnetic storm particles appeared in the atmosphere of this planet. It was only possible to land here during certain seasons each year, and gradually fewer and fewer people came here. Last year, a meteor shower occurred, which washed away a lot of the geomagnetic storm particles, so our probe was able to land.”

"The garrison is complete, and the infrastructure and industrial departments are under construction. This forest has a history of more than two thousand years and is scattered with some animal dwellings, which are very distinctive, so I brought you here to see it."

Orcs! Shi Wei's eyes lit up.

This race was nearly extinct a hundred years ago. After they intermarried extensively with humans, their beastman bloodline was diluted, and now there are only tens of thousands of beastmen left in the entire universe.

Are there really a lot of orcs here?

Moreover, this planet unexpectedly retains a semi-agricultural, semi-industrialized social life and preserves many traditional orc buildings, which are very distinctive. Shi Wei opened the map with great interest and began to study where she could go for fun.
