"Howie, what's wrong with you?"
Li Shu saw that Huo Wei looked a little strange, and couldn't help but frowned and asked with concern.
"It's okay." Huo Wei hurriedly let out a breath, clearing his mind from the inexplicable thoughts in his heart, and changed the subject. "By the way, you haven't been thinking about these calculations before. How did you figure out that Cain and the two captains of the Bolie planet were treating you politely because of me?"
"The warden told me." Li Shu did not hide anything and directly told Howie about the conversation between him and Jon.
Huo Wei brought up this topic just to change the subject, but after hearing Li Shu's explanation, he looked at Li Shu meaningfully and said, "The warden is really good to you!"
Li Shu nodded, "Of course, the warden is a very nice person. I am very glad that I came to Lido Prison in the first place."
If it were the other two prisons, he would probably have become food for the star beasts before he could develop.
Huo Wei looked at Li Shu deeply again and said silently, "I will teach you more about politics in the future."
Li Shu frowned and said, "I don't really like politics. What's more, I'm just an ordinary person. Politics is of no use to me."
"Just because it didn't work before doesn't mean it won't work in the future! I have to start learning now."
Li Shu frowned. He didn't like this kind of cryptic way of talking. He frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Why will it be useful later?"
Seeing that Li Shu's patience had reached its limit, Huo Wei no longer concealed the truth and said, "It's simple. The warden intends to train you to be his successor."
"What?" Howie's face was full of surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief, and then he quickly denied it, "Impossible!"
"It's true!" Huo Wei mercilessly broke Li Shu's hope and said, "The warden told you this news because he wanted to train you. Don't let him down!"
Li Shu's expression became even more serious when he heard this. "Huo Wei, if what you said is false, then I will treat it as a joke and not take it to heart. But if it is true, I want to refuse."
"Why?" This time it was Howie's turn to be surprised. "Don't you want to control power?"
"No." Li Shu answered the question firmly, "Do you remember what I told you before? I can just find a planet suitable for living, enjoy my old age, and live out my life in peace. I don't want to be involved in these complicated things."
Huo Wei's expression turned cold upon hearing this. "Do you think you can still enjoy a comfortable retirement in your current position?"
Snow Wolf mercilessly pointed out the problem that everyone knew but no one had spoken about. "The plant in your hand is a panacea that can reduce the star beast's danger rate. With you, the star beast's danger rate will not increase. However, once you leave, the cosmic energy within the star beast's body will continue to harm it wantonly."
"At this time, you said you wanted to resign and retire. Do you think the people above you would allow such a thing to happen?"
Li Shu's face suddenly turned pale. He lowered his head. His bangs, which had not been trimmed for a long time, covered his expression, making it impossible to see his emotions.
Just when Huo Wei thought the other party had accepted his fate and was about to go over to comfort him, the other party suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Huo Wei. Those eyes full of love for life fell on him again, "I don't deny what you said. Since I made the plant appear, I can't let the plant disappear just because we retire."
"So, I've decided that I will plant the plants before I retire. This way, even if I'm gone in the future, it won't have much impact on the star beasts."
Huo Wei was stunned again, looking at the other person with a complicated expression, and then said, "Li Shu, you..."
Li Shu's smile remained unchanged, but his attitude became much firmer. "Huo Wei, I still hold the same attitude as before. I will not accept this planet. I still want to be an ordinary old man and live a peaceful life. As for the plants, as I said, I will find a solution!"
Huo Wei and Li Shu looked at each other for a long time. Just when Li Shu thought that they had different opinions and were about to part ways, Huo Wei suddenly said, "Okay, I get it. Do whatever you want."
Hearing this, Li Shu's eyes suddenly lit up. He ran to Huo Wei and hugged him tightly with his hands, "Huo Wei, thank you for supporting me!"
After saying that, Li Shu let go of his hand, quickly opened the light brain, and told Jon about this matter.
Jon felt a little embarrassed when Li Shu told him his plan, but after hearing the other party's implied meaning, he couldn't help but speak up to keep them.
But no matter how good his reasons were, Li Shu firmly rejected his request.
Qiao En saw Li Shu's stubbornness and had no choice but to give in. "Forget it, since you don't like it, I won't force you. However, if you regret it, you can come to me. I will keep this position for you until I find a suitable person in charge."
Li Shu simply ignored the last sentence. He didn't believe that anyone could refuse the identity of a captain!
After cutting off communication with Jon, Li Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Huo Wei, thank you for seeing the warden's plan in advance. Otherwise, I would have to live on Lido Star for the rest of my life. It's terrifying to think about it."
He had finally survived the apocalypse and came to an interstellar world where he could enjoy the beautiful scenery of the universe, so how could he be tripped by a ball!
Hearing this, Huo Wei looked at Li Shu with interest. "I've seen many people fighting for various rights. I didn't expect that someone would be sent to you and you wouldn't even want him. How strange!"
"What's so strange about that? Everyone has different pursuits!" Li Shu said seriously, looking at Huo Wei with a serious expression. "For me, traveling around the stars, and then living the rest of my life in peace and stability, is more important than anything else."
"But once I become the warden, I'll be forced to make a lot of videos. I'll be exhausted every day because of all the things that happen to me! Apart from a glamorous reputation, I won't get anything."
"So, I just chose my true self over a glamorous name and a soul that allows me to be free and happy. That's all."
