Jiang Zheyu continued scrolling through the messages in the system's quantum computer, and another somewhat familiar quantum computer account caught her attention.
She couldn't remember who it was for a moment, so she just clicked on it.
J: Hello, I am Prince Jin Yu of the Empire. The Empire is very interested in your method of healing mental power. I wonder if you would be interested in joining the Imperial Research Institute?
J: If you join us, the Empire will grant you a prestigious position and generous benefits. If you wish, the Empire can also make you a top-level researcher, allowing you to enjoy the highest treatment and privileges of the research institute.
Currently, the highest level at the Imperial Research Institute is only Level 1 Researcher, but they are willing to create an even higher level of treatment for her, namely, Special-Grade Researcher.
Jiang Zheyu paused slightly when she saw the message. No wonder it seemed familiar. She had only recently added Jin Yu's personal computer; how could she not be familiar with it?
She also remembered that this was how the Empire recruited the organization the female protagonist belonged to.
The female protagonist's organization is also a fugitive space pirate organization called Star Investors, but the space pirates in this organization are not like those who plunder planets.
These space pirates were homeless people who had gathered together due to displacement.
Or it could be a group of extremely poor people who come together to seek a way to get rich quickly, and none of them are particularly vicious.
Their main business is not to seize planets, but to explore for star stones in the universe. Some special star stones can be sold for extremely high prices, which is how they survive.
However, because they did not have the empire's permission to mine starstones at will, they could not operate in the open.
Because the female protagonist developed a reagent to purify the beast transformation value, the Star Throne organization she belonged to was also incorporated into the Empire. From then on, they no longer had to fear being captured by the Empire's army when collecting star stones, and the collection of star stones became more standardized. Every member of the Star Throne also had their own house and stable job on the Imperial Star. This can be considered as the female protagonist leading the entire organization to success.
In the novel, Jin Yu seems to have made an exception for the female protagonist, making her a top-level researcher. Because the conditions Jin Yu offered were tempting enough, and because Jin Yu's tone was not at all like that of royalty, he eventually succeeded in recruiting the female protagonist's organization along with her.
However, the female lead is truly talented and capable. She doesn't know any research, and she bought the reagents for purifying her beast-like value and healing her mental power from the system.
Her only real talent is herself; her mental power can purify the beastman's transformation value and also heal the beastman's mental power.
Even if you send her to the research institute as a senior researcher, she still won't be able to produce anything.
So Jiang Zheyu simply ignored the message and didn't plan to reply.
Jiang Zheyu hadn't finished scrolling through all the messages, and she didn't plan to anymore. She intended to get some sleep and prepare to get up early the next day.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Zheyu was lying in bed. A huge floor-to-ceiling window next to her was slightly ajar, and a gentle evening breeze blew in, slightly lifting the curtains and causing them to flutter.
"Aaaaaaah!"
A sharp female voice pierced through the French windows from the garden.
Jiang Zheyu was startled awake by the sharp cry.
"Huh? What's going on? What's going on?" Jiang Zheyu sat up in a daze.
She sat on the bed for a while, but then realized there was no sound.
She hesitated for a moment, and was about to go back to sleep when suddenly the sound of a woman screaming came from outside the window again.
"Aaaaaaah!"
The sound was as if it were in particular pain.
Then came the sound of a whip whistling through the air, followed by a very loud slap.
"Get out! Get out!"
"Get out of here, all of you!"
Jiang Zheyu silently covered her ears; the sound seemed to pierce her eardrums.
Jiang Zheyu was now fully awake.
She slowly moved toward the French windows, wanting to see what was happening in the garden.
Beside the stone table amidst the blooming flowers, a young girl in a thin nightgown held a long whip in her hand. She swung the whip heavily, smashing all the flowers in the garden into a mess and breaking branches.
The ground was littered with shattered porcelain teacups and saucers, specks of blood, and ravaged flowers.
The girl was surrounded by a group of servants kneeling on the ground, with a young man in a white shirt kneeling at the front, his body covered in blood from whip marks.
The girl beside him was whipping the flowers in anger, while the young man knelt quietly beside him, his expression numb.
Isn't that young man the Commander Wu she met when she entered the palace last time?
Then it goes without saying who the girl next to Commander U is.
The girl is Princess Jin Wan of the Empire.
When Jiang Zheyu was reading the novel, the little princess of the empire was described as having a particularly bad temper and a spoiled personality.
In the novel, the female protagonist only said one sentence to Jin Wan before the little princess of the empire suddenly became irritable and started throwing things without saying a word.
I don't remember much else, except that the female lead and the little princess didn't get along.
Jiang Zheyu silently closed all the French windows, hoping that it wouldn't be so loud that way.
It's better for her not to join the battle.
Sure enough, after she closed all the windows, the sounds outside disappeared.
Because she saw the girl seem to be screaming wildly again, but after closing all the windows, she could no longer hear her.
This served as a reminder to Jiang Zheyu that she must close all the windows before going to sleep next time.
Jiang Zheyu quietly went back to bed and took a good nap.
The next day, Xiao Luo arrived at the door on time and knocked to wake Jiang Zheyu up.
"Princess Zheyu, after you've washed up and gotten dressed, call me in so I can help you with your makeup and hair," Xiao Luo's voice rang out from outside.
"Okay, sure!" Jiang Zheyu replied casually, and then slowly got out of bed.
After Jiang Zheyu finished washing up and getting dressed, he opened the door and let Xiao Luo in.
"Princess Zheyu, I'll help you with your makeup and hair right away." Xiao Luo first bowed slightly to her before following Jiang Zheyu inside.
Xiao Luo skillfully helped Jiang Zheyu with her makeup and styling, as if she had been specially trained.
Her makeup was exquisite, elegant, and beautiful. She also had her hair tied in a high ponytail, which, combined with a sophisticated and well-fitting white suit, made her look truly elegant and polite.
"Did you study this specifically?" Jiang Zheyu looked at the exquisite and beautiful makeup with slight surprise. "It looks really good."
“Yes, Princess Zheyu, as a butler, it’s a necessary skill for Xiao Luo to do makeup for females. Moreover, we need to have multiple proficient skills to get a butler’s certificate to work.” Xiao Luo nodded slightly, then smiled gently. “You have a very good foundation, so you look especially beautiful with just a little makeup.”
"Thank you." Jiang Zheyu smiled and her eyes crinkled with joy.
