Yan Hui finally packed his bags and prepared to leave the research institute for Qilan Star, which was under the jurisdiction of the Sixth Legion.

Are you sure you don't want to consider their suggestion?

Ruan Xun leaned against the door frame, his gaze fixed on Yan Hui with a look of inquiry.

"What are you thinking about?" Yan Hui pretended to be clueless, as if he didn't want to bring up what had just happened.

"Actually, you could have asked Sister Mei about this..."

Ruan Xun understood Yan Hui's concerns, but putting himself in Yan Hui's shoes, he felt that Yan Hui himself was also struggling.

It's always heartbreaking to see a childhood friend end up like that.

"Brother Yan Hui, perhaps my sister doesn't care about what happened back then, even if he..."

Before Ruan Xun could finish speaking, Yan Hui shook his head, indicating that the other party did not need to say anything more.

“I did show favoritism by secretly bringing him back, and that’s enough. He’s not like Mu Chen was before, getting stuck in negative emotions in the game. I regularly go in to help him nurture his spiritual power. He’s fine, except he doesn’t have a real body.”

As Yan Hui spoke, he looked at Ruan Xun, then smiled and said, "He was actually free there."

Besides, he won't live forever like us when he returns. The body prepared for him by the mainframe means he will age and disappear like a normal person.

In this world, on that planet that has lost all life, only the two of them remain.

Only in this way can they stay together forever...

"I don't understand……"

Ruan Xun stared at Yan Hui's calm face for a few seconds, and finally couldn't help but sigh softly.

He had met many people over the years, and he had seen intense and passionate emotions as well as those that were as still as an abyss, where one wrong step could lead to utter ruin. But the more he encountered, the more prominent Ruan Xun felt that his personality as a widowed king became.

He has loving older brothers and sisters, adorable and sensible younger relatives, and a career that interests him. He really has nothing he wants to get involved in or become entangled in an intense relationship that would make him feel anxious and insecure.

He had seen many people who were unable to extricate themselves from such emotions.

“I don’t understand your feelings.” Ruan Xun shook his head helplessly, but then added, “I don’t think the President will let this go. The situation in the Federation is much more complicated than here. If it weren’t for the strength of the other side, the Federation would probably have become even more powerful than the Empire.”

"Your description..."

Yan Hui scoffed at Ruan Xun's description, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction and mockery when he mentioned the former Federation.

He attended school in the Commonwealth during his youth, and his memories of his childhood were not particularly pleasant.

Now, under this president's rule, the Federation is indeed moving toward the goals it set when it broke away from the Empire.

However, as that president said, it's truly frightening that if someone keeps going without anyone to take over.

For the sake of the Federation, he had long since disregarded his own life and death, but he was embarrassed by the lack of a successor. He feared that if he were to truly sacrifice himself one day, the Federation would once again return to that dark period of the past.

"The Federation is fortunate to have such a president."

When Yan Hui thought of Louis's expectations for Mo Wenshu, he simply shook his head and said nothing more.

When Mo Wenshu fought the Queen of the Insects, Louis had just left the military to enter politics and was just beginning to make a name for himself in the political arena. At that time, Louis was also facing the corruption and darkness of the federal government.

He was both excited and saddened by the sensation caused by this newcomer, who had "disappeared" because he had not received timely support due to the decisions made above and the power struggles between factions.

Mo Wenshu's matter was also a thorn in Louis's side.

The Federation's resurgence and its return to the pinnacle will take a long time, requiring the efforts of countless generations of ambitious and idealistic young people.

However, due to the machinations of the Zerg and the internal struggles of the Federation over the years, there is a generational gap. Although there are promising young people, it will take time for them to mature and truly stand out in the world.

Louis desperately needs a mature and positive figure to help him support the Zerg.

Otherwise, he, as president, can't just step in every time a fight breaks out, can he?

No one doubts Louis's command abilities.

The game designers were chatting happily outside the game, while inside the game, Mingmei and her team were on high alert.

"If we get any closer, the enemy starship's security radar will be able to detect us."

Sun Yunzhong looked at Mu Chen and Mingmei and asked them about their next plans.

"Meimei and I will pilot our mechs out first, take a detour, and you guys proceed normally. We'll also let them know you've arrived and see their reaction."

After Mu Chen finished speaking, Ming Mei added, "Um, pay attention to whether any escape capsules are flying out of the enemy starship's escape capsule launch port. If they do, don't hold back, kill them directly."

Mingmei has gained a new understanding of Nanami's escape.

If it's true, as Mu Chen guessed, that this Qi Na might also be a fake, and the other party might just run away first again based on her strong intuition.

"oh oh!"

After a slight pause, everyone realized what Mingmei meant: the other party might very well escape.

Although they didn't know why Mingmei was so certain, it was indeed possible that this situation could occur, and everyone agreed earnestly.

Watching Mingmei and Muchen's departing figures, Lu Xiaoyao repeatedly exclaimed that the CP she was shipping was just too good to be true. This kind of couple, both strong and fighting side by side, is so appealing!

Even though Mingmei was completely immune to Lu Xiaoyao's green gaze, she couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I just feel that even if Lu Xiaoyao doesn't do live streams... she can always recommend amazing couples to people."

Mingmei could almost hear Lu Xiaoyao's encouraging words: "Let me tell you, trust me, ship this couple with me, and you'll discover a whole new world!"

I'm... I'm really embarrassed (panda head blushing.jpg)

"Are you acknowledging that we're a perfect couple?" Mu Chen joked, and Mingmei laughed along with him, not denying it.

Little did they know, when the two of them smiled at each other, Lu Xiaoyao almost turned into a screaming chicken again!

The two piloted the Subo, flying towards Madison and his team's mechs from the left and right, respectively.

Just now, Qina, who was being "taken care of" by Madison's people, suddenly felt a sharp jolt in her heart.

"What's wrong?"

They handed the nutrient solution to the other player, who suddenly seemed stunned. Out of concern, the other two players asked what was wrong.

"No...no..."

With her eyelashes fluttering, "Qina" sat uneasily by the window. When she turned to look out the window, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!

Holy crap!

It's that mech again!
