Chapter 1 Extra 6: Hongkong's Past
"Of course there are, but there are only a few people left who know this history."
"Killing, treasures, and beautiful women, these three were my ultimate pursuits at the time."
"Lead your men from remote galaxies all the way to the center of the most prosperous interstellar space and establish a vast empire."
"As for the treasures I collected, you have seen them before."
Speaking of these two things, Hongkong was still a little proud.
"What about the beauty? Ever since I met you, you haven't had any close relationships with anyone of the opposite sex."
"I did sink into depravity when I was young. After all, who doesn't like beautiful things? It's just that I've lived too long, watching beautiful people grow old and die before my eyes, and watching their descendants grow up, grow old and die. Suddenly, I realized that beauty is only temporary, regardless of whether it's men or women. And it took a setback to understand that some beauty is superficial, and the filth inside is so filthy that people dare not look directly at it."
"After I adopted a child, and since I was really old, I naturally lost interest in beauties who were who knows how many years younger than me."
"I gradually became annoyed by the trivialities of my adopted children and began to cultivate my character."
"It's hard to say when beautiful women stopped being needed."
After hearing Hongkong's words, Ji Wanyi nodded in understanding.
She said that when Hongkong was young, he was also a proud and ambitious young man, so how could he not have beautiful women around him.
Not only that, there are quite a few.
It is expected that he would fall for beauty.
"Let's not talk about me anymore, let's talk about you. You are in high spirits now. It's time for you to taste the bitterness and sweetness of love." Hongkong turned around and persuaded her.
Ji Wanyi didn't react strongly, she just smiled helplessly.
"I'm not against falling in love, but look at the people around me, which one is reliable?"
"I have a different opinion from you guys. Maybe in the eyes of you men, as long as you look good, you won't consider anything else."
"But I can't do that. If you want to date me, you must first have the ability to attract me."
"Appearance is just the basic requirement. Moral character must be excellent. Even if your strength is not that great, you can't be a weakling. And your inner soul can't be so vulgar."
"Anyway, I haven't met anyone who's attracted me."
Ji Wanyi's answer made Hongkong laugh out loud.
"You're right. These people don't even look like your subordinates when they stand with you."
"But it may be difficult to find one that meets your requirements."
"What's the big deal? If there's nothing, then let's not talk about it."
"By the way, didn't you bring me a gift this time?" Ji Wanyi asked immediately after the topic was almost discussed.
"I went back to the Imperial Star just to give you a gift, didn't I?"
"I know you have everything you need, so I've got some new and interesting gadgets to entertain you."
Hongkong said as he threw something green towards her.
Ji Wanyi grabbed the fist-sized bead.
"This is... the Destiny Pearl that condenses half of the power of the plant world? If you take it, Xiaodu will fight you to the death."
"I got this by my own ability, so why can't I take it away? Although Xiao Du was unwilling, he didn't try to stop me."
"And asked me to help pass the gift to you."
Hongkong waved his hand, and more than a dozen fruits appeared in the air. They were all fruits produced by interstellar plants.
"It said that you treated it to a lot of fruit when it was on Blue Star, and now it wants to treat you to fruit too."
Looking at these strange-shaped fruits floating in the air, Ji Wanyi absolutely didn't dare to eat them.
"Can these fruits be eaten? They're not poisonous, are they?"
Thinking of those extremely tough interstellar plants, Ji Wanyi couldn't believe that they could produce any good fruits.
"I don't know. I haven't eaten it either. Why don't you take it to the research institute and let them study it?" Hongkong's answer was also quite simple.
As long as Ji Wanyi collects all the fruits, Xiao Du should not use the poisonous fruits to harm her.
But I’m afraid these fruits may have some strange functions.
Let the researchers study it.
"You should not leave for the time being after coming back this time, right?" Ji Wanyi looked at Hongkong again.
Hongkong nodded.
"I'm not leaving for now. The military academy competition that takes place every thousand years is about to be held in the empire. I'll watch the competition before leaving."
The Interstellar Military Academy Martial Arts Competition is held once every thousand years, and each time it is hosted by the most powerful force at the time.
But so far they have all been held in the Empire.
Several major military academies of the empire had already started preparing early.
"Every time there's a military academy competition, there's always a genius emerging. It's incredibly exciting, so you can look forward to it."
Ji Wanyi watched the previous videos and found that there were indeed some amazingly talented people.
It’s a pity that almost none of them live long.
It seems that the top five in every session cannot escape the curse of death.
"What do you think Cheng Lan and Yun Feng can achieve?"
"Ji Chenglan is okay. He's hardworking, fearless, and brave. He's also extremely talented. He inherited his father's powerful lightning ability, making him considered the best of his generation on Blue Star."
"Judging from his experience in the Legion, he should have no problem getting into the top ten, and he can probably even push for the top five."
"As for Yunfeng, it's a little hard to say. The little guy has a good brain, but his psychic abilities are still a bit difficult to use against those with stronger energy than him, and he has too little actual combat experience."
"As the heir to the empire, he must at least be in the top ten, otherwise the people of the empire will not be satisfied."
Hongkong said truthfully.
"Wait a minute, the two kids ahead of you are in the top ten?" Ji Wanyi suddenly remembered this question.
Judging from the qualifications of those two people, they don't look like geniuses.
"It's precisely because they don't have it that their support rate is low. Even if they were forced into office, it would be extremely difficult to implement subsequent policies."
"Of course, he doesn't have to be in the top ten. As long as he can showcase his unique charm in front of everyone in the galaxy, it's okay if there are regrets."
"That's all for another story. The most important thing is to survive safely. This tournament happens only once every thousand years, and some of them use insidious tactics. The level of cruelty is almost as high as on a real battlefield."
Ever since meeting Ji Wanyi, Hongkong has lowered his expectations of the people around him.
If it were him tens of thousands of years ago, who only considered strength in everything he did, he would never have thought that one day such words would come out of his mouth.
After chatting for a while, Ji Wanyi went back to work.
Hongkong returned to his bedroom.
Harmonious and ordinary.
The two of them had dinner together.
Ji Yunfeng has been training in the military academy, and now there are only the two of them in the imperial palace.
