41. Block and unfollow
With great difficulty, Pi Min combed her tangled hair, sulking to herself as she did so. She finally understood how a cat feels when it's petted and then curls up to the side, licking its fur in a huff.
Seeing her irritable expression, the viewers in the live stream were gloating.
[Did that emperor grab the streamer again and make him masturbate?]
[Look at that hair, the battle is fierce!]
[The streamer's face puffed up with anger, so cute!]
...
As the voice-over announcements rang in his ears, Pi Min's eyes suddenly lit up.
The reason why His Majesty dared to tell her his plans and then casually threw her out was because he thought she was too weak to do anything.
Is it mere arrogance, or has he discovered something and is deliberately testing us?
If she doesn't dare to remind someone privately, can't she at least remind them publicly? Reminding someone privately does carry risks, while reminding them publicly is safer.
After realizing this, she suddenly smiled slightly and said frankly, "You guessed right, I was indeed just captured and masturbated by that emperor."
"I hope the viewers in the live stream can help tell the Lord of Earth that Her Majesty the Queen said that since being gentle won't work, she'll have to be forceful. She doesn't believe that once she forces him, he'll still refuse her marriage proposal."
As soon as she said it, she felt a sense of relief; this was all she could do for him.
These words immediately caused an uproar in the live stream, with everyone shocked that His Majesty's "little darling" dared to openly betray her.
Pi Min originally thought that both parties would need some time to receive the news, but unexpectedly, both of them were in her live broadcast room.
【Received, thanks for the reminder!】This is the Lord of Earth.
"My little darling, you betrayed me?" This was His Majesty.
Both are pay-to-win players, and their comments are so prominent that they stand out at a glance.
Now that he'd been seen through, Pimin decided to lay his cards on the table: "You're a Zerg, I'm human, so what's this talk of betrayal?"
【How dare you? Don't you hate him?】She was probably really angry, so Her Majesty sent a voice message.
Pi Min replied expressionlessly, "Because I am human."
"I've been so good to you, how could you help him instead of me?" Her Majesty the Empress's voice was trembling with anger.
Pi Min said, enunciating each word clearly: "Because I am human."
【Hahahaha... What a coincidence, I'm human too.】The Lord of Earth also sent a voice message, his unrestrained laughter was truly irritating.
Openly challenging Her Majesty the Queen's authority was so daunting that even someone as stubborn as Pi Min couldn't help but feel his heart pounding and his breathing becoming rapid. He had to take several deep breaths to calm himself down.
[I'm doomed, I'm doomed! How dare the streamer do this?]
[The streamer has always been this daring, and you're only just realizing it?]
What happened to the last person who offended His Majesty?
[I remember, I remember, I became food for Zuramon. Even when its head was gnawed off, its body was still moving!]
...
Just as the viewers in the live stream were excitedly discussing what would happen to the streamer, a dazzling fireworks effect suddenly lit up the live stream, and a golden supply pod appeared out of nowhere.
[The Lord of Phantom Stars gifted a "Having a Little Mischief" deluxe supply capsule.]
The chat, which was enthusiastically discussing the possible ways the streamer might die, paused for a moment, and then the topic abruptly changed.
[Oh, I almost forgot, the Lord of Illusions is also behind the streamer.]
[Everyone, disperse. The streamer won't die.]
...
Given His Majesty's passionate and decisive nature, it's impossible for him to remain inactive. Pi Min remained on high alert, anxiously awaiting His Majesty's reaction.
[Player "Playing Pranks is Fun" has been blacklisted by the Empress of the Thetian Empire, and all Thetian Zerg factions have had their favorability reduced by 10.]
She had guessed she would be arrested and beaten, or even worse, beaten up, but she never expected to be blocked and unfollowed after waiting for so long.
She thought it was over, but to her surprise, ten minutes later, a similar system notification sounded again.
[Congratulations to player "Playing the Fool is Fun" for gaining the attention of the Empress of the Thetian Empire. All Thetian Zerg factions in the game will have their initial favorability increased by 10.]
Yes, I've followed it back.
Some of the other factions that had been following Her Majesty the Queen's lead in following Pimin's lead had already unfollowed her, but Her Majesty's sudden reversal caught them completely off guard.
The funny thing is, I had only followed them for less than two minutes when the system notification sounded again.
[Player "Playing Pranks is Fun" has been blacklisted by the Empress of the Thetian Empire, and all Thetian Zerg factions have had their favorability reduced by 10.]
Pi Min: ...
How embarrassing! The faction that just unfollowed and then followed back is now at a loss for what to do.
Fortunately, Her Majesty the Queen ultimately did not make things difficult for them and returned her attention.
[Congratulations to player "Playing the Fool is Fun" for gaining the attention of the Empress of the Thetian Empire. All Thetian Zerg factions in the game will have their initial favorability increased by 10.]
Block and follow, block and follow...
After jumping back and forth countless times, Her Majesty the Empress's status remained fixed at "followed".
It seems that Her Majesty the Empress really likes humans; even after being scratched, she still can't bring herself to hate them.
Pimin could already picture His Majesty rolling around in the pure white space, furious.
As if the Empress wasn't angry enough, the Lord of Earth provocatively opened the main live stream room.
"I just received a warning from a well-meaning person. For my own safety and property, I have decided to open my main live stream room and start a 24/7 live stream. Sharing is worse than enjoying alone. If I'm going to be strong, I'll show it to the whole universe."
This trick, though unscrupulous, is effective.
Except for certain races with special fetishes, no one can force themselves on another in public.
That man's image was definitely a ton heavy. He would never stand if he could sit, and he would never sit if he could lie down. He maintained an elegant demeanor throughout the live broadcast. Every frame of his was a beautiful picture.
You can imagine how hard he was putting on an act; whenever his gaze fell on the main live stream, Pi Min couldn't help but smile.
Regardless of the dramatic story between the Lord of Earth and the Queen of Thetia, the lives of ordinary players will continue.
Humans are creatures who prefer to be grounded; no matter how luxurious a spaceship is, nothing feels as secure as the earth beneath our feet. After rescuing "Gardener Old Wang," everyone on the "Home" unanimously decided to establish a settlement on the second Earth.
Riding on the popularity gained from Her Majesty the Empress blocking and unfollowing him, Pimin opened the armory and mass-produced another batch of soldiers. The number of armed robots has now reached two hundred, and with the one hundred people on the ship, it is more than enough to start the first wave of infrastructure construction on the Second Earth.
While the Earth Lord was busy showing off elegantly in the main live broadcast room, Pimin was leading his crew and armed robots to cut down trees and build houses on an unfamiliar planet.
While they were leveling the land, the Lord of the Earth was drinking tea and reading documents.
While they were cutting down trees, the Lord of the Earth was drinking tea and reading documents.
While they were slaughtering the giant insects, the ruler of the Earth was drinking tea and reading documents.
...
Having grown accustomed to the Earth Lord's boring daily routine, she had almost forgotten his existence.
One day, as she was directing the armed robots to put the roof on the newly built wooden house, the main live stream room, which she had always kept in the corner of her field of vision like a painting, suddenly started flashing.
The sudden flashing lights almost blinded her, but luckily Peppa Pig next to her caught her, preventing her from losing her balance and falling off the roof.
The strange flickering lasted for a full five minutes before it stopped.
When the main live stream stabilized, the Earth Lord's smug smile appeared on the screen: "Sorry, this live stream has been equipped with a space jammer sponsored by Phantom Star Technology. I suggest that some people refrain from making pointless attempts. I'm not some kitten or puppy that you can just pet."
These few words contain a lot of information.
She was still happy when she learned that His Majesty had tried to capture someone like he had captured her but had failed miserably. However, when she heard the last sentence, Pi Min, who was already a little angry because she had just been blinded, suddenly exploded.
[Kittens and puppies? Lord of the Earth, are you implying something about me?]
The man in the live stream slid down his knees very quickly.
"No, no! It was a slip of the tongue, just a slip of the tongue!"
Unfortunately, Pi Min's anger had not subsided.
[It's like a dog biting Lü Dongbin; they don't appreciate a kind heart. I wish I hadn't reminded you!]
The man quickly put his hands together, adopting a posture of sincere repentance.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to. As an apology, I'm willing to give you the extra space-blocking device."
[The Lord of Earth is gifting a "Having a Little Mischief" space shield. Due to the special nature of this gift, the game developers will deliver it via interstellar express.]
This wasn't the first time that man had been so sarcastic, so Pi Min assumed it was just his old habit. She was a little confused when she suddenly heard the system notification.
The audience in the live stream reacted even more strongly than she did.
[Excess space shields? Listen to this, is that even human language? Why isn't anyone sending me extra starships or extra space stations?]
[I'm so jealous. I suspect the Earth's ruler has no idea of the value of space-blocking devices.]
Am I being too sensitive? I have a feeling the Earth Lord did it on purpose, deliberately being sarcastic, just to give the space shield to "someone who's happy to be cheeky."
Even comments praising Her Majesty the Empress's aura appeared in the live chat.
[Take it back! Don't send it! What right do you have to stop me from petting your little cutie?]
"Haha, you saw through me! Since you saw through me, I'm not pretending anymore. So what if I did it on purpose?"
The Lord of Earth grinned, a sly smile full of sarcasm and provocation—just as Pimin knew.
[It's one thing for you to reject my marriage proposal, but what good does it do you to stop me from petting my little cutie?] She was so angry that Her Majesty the Empress even forgot to use the imperial "朕" (zhen, meaning "I" or "I" in Chinese, implying that she was an imperial emperor).
The man stared directly into the camera, his starry eyes shining brightly, and his smile was radiant: "There's really no benefit to it, but I'm a rebellious person by nature. I'm happy when Her Majesty the Empress is unhappy."
The blinding flashing started again, but unfortunately, after flashing for a long time, it still couldn't do anything to the man in the live stream.
【Lord of Earth, don't be so smug. You don't really think I can't do anything to you, do you?】 It was another voice message. Her Majesty the Empress's angry roar could almost shatter eardrums.
The man in the live stream simply smiled slightly and lazily beckoned with his finger.
"It's alright, bring it on."
