Liberal Alliance
"Our organization is called the Freedom League."
"We came together to oppose all forms of colonialism and oppression."
Randy led Yu Sheng into a room. In the empty room, there was a huge light array placed in the center of the floor.
"This is the virtual space created by Yixiu. He is the programming genius of our organization~" Randy smiled and praised his companion, "Here, you can see the origin of the establishment of the Freedom Alliance." As he said, Randy stood in the center of the light array and waved to Yu Sheng.
A shy, fair-skinned young man scratched his head and said with a silly smile, "What genius or not? Brother Randy, stop making fun of me."
After Yu Sheng stepped onto the formation, Randy pressed a button. Suddenly, everything within Yu Sheng's field of vision went dark. Except for Randy, who was also standing in the formation, everything around him disappeared from his sight.
At the same time, Randy's soft voice sounded beside his ear, "This is Snow Star."
As soon as Randy finished speaking, the scene suddenly changed, and a white planet appeared in front of him. Yu Sheng seemed to be in the vast universe, overlooking this pure, white planet.
"Due to various factors, Snow Star is covered in snow for three of the four seasons, leaving only a brief hundred days of spring when flowers bloom. It was during these hundred days that the interstellar expedition team arrived on this planet."
A warship bearing the official interstellar logo burst through the air from the depths of space and headed for the white planet. Yu Sheng's perspective also followed the warship as it inched closer to the Snow Star.
The full picture of Xuexing gradually became clear in Yu Sheng's eyes.
This is a planet devoid of any traces of technology. Flowers blooming in the sun, leaves dancing in the wind, and towering mountains all live freely on this land in their own way. Every breath you take smells of freedom, and every step you take bears the mark of life.
"The interstellar expedition team originally wanted to explore the mineral resources of this planet, but accidentally ran into the original inhabitants of this planet, the Snow Star people. Oh, the official name of the interstellar world for them is orcs." Maybe it was Yu Sheng's illusion, but Randy's originally gentle voice suddenly turned cold. Yu Sheng couldn't help but turn his head to look. Randy's face was overlapped with the flowers and plants of this virtual Snow Star, and Yu Sheng couldn't see Randy's expression clearly.
Two rabbit ears stood up from the haystack over there, swaying left and right. The people of the interstellar exploration team probably thought that lunch was secured, so they happily surrounded them. As soon as they raised their guns, they saw a boy with a terrified face behind the haystack.
The eyes of all the members of the interstellar expedition team were focused on the boy's drooping rabbit ears and the furry rabbit tail behind him.
Yu Sheng immediately thought of the girl with animal ears in Manla's arms at the pet party.
The result was obvious: the boy with bunny ears was captured and brought back to the Interstellar Alliance, attracting widespread attention. When authoritative experts determined that Snow Star's technology was primitive and, according to interstellar law, its inhabitants could not possess interstellar citizenship, the white planet was destined to be stained with a dark color.
"Unlike Blue Star, Snow Star is a fringe planet in the interstellar space. Anyone from the entire galaxy, regardless of their status, can travel to Snow Star as long as they have enough money to build a ship and enough people to pilot it." Randy's voice was slightly hoarse. "And precisely because of this, the entirety of Snow Star fell. Almost all of the Snow Star inhabitants were captured and sold. Among the aristocracy, they went from being the most exotic pets to the most vulgar and worthless."
"Snow Star has been purchased by a wealthy businessman, who's forcing the Snow Star people to reproduce and train them like a pet factory. To regain the favor of the nobles with unpopular orcs, this businessman, inspired by the Blue Beasts' hunger marketing tactics, is selecting and eliminating hundreds of millions of Snow Star people, ultimately retaining the best and promoting them to the upper class." At this point, Randy paused. "Yu Sheng, have you seen the live broadcast of the rare pet gathering?"
“…I’ve seen it.” Yu Sheng said.
"I don't know if you noticed, but there's a girl with beast ears among them. She's the first winner of the Snow Star Pet Selection Competition and the first Snow Star pet trained by pet trainer Manla himself. The only reason she's allowed to appear at the rare pet gathering is simply because she was chosen from among hundreds of millions of half-orcs. In the eyes of interstellar people, she's the most perfect and exquisite pet."
Randy was silent for a while, as if lost in some memory, or perhaps waiting for Yu Sheng's reaction. But Yu Sheng couldn't say anything. He looked at the Snow Star people in the scene being led and toyed with like dogs, his fingertips trembling uncontrollably.
After a long time, those people began to blur, and a blue planet gradually enlarged in front of Yu Sheng's eyes.
Yu Sheng's heart suddenly tightened.
"This is a composite image of Blue Planet provided by the Oak Corporation," Randy said. "Because apart from the Oak Corporation's core fleet, no one knows where the Blue Planet tunnel they are stationed in is, and no one has ever seen what Blue Planet truly looks like."
The blue planet disappeared, and in its place were five people who were both familiar and unfamiliar to Yu Sheng. In interstellar terms, they were five blue beasts.
The expressionless virtual character standing face to face with Yu Sheng was Yu Sheng himself.
Among these five people, there was only one woman, a Chinese girl whom Yu Sheng had never seen before. Apart from her and Yu Sheng himself, the remaining three were blond-haired, blue-eyed Europeans.
"This female Blue Star has passed away." As Randy spoke, the beautiful Chinese girl vanished. "Yuk's greatest strength is his understanding of the saying 'scarcity makes things valuable.'" Randy's tone was tinged with sarcasm. "He emphasized the native wildness of his pets. He only captures one Blue Star every eight years and sells it at auction. I don't know how many Blue Stars there are on Blue Star, but at least they're not that rare."
It's certainly not rare. Yu Sheng felt a bit complicated. His home planet hadn't been invaded. Should he be thanking this Wu Ke's hunger marketing tactics?
"The funny thing is, the interstellar nobles fell for this trick." Randy narrowed his eyes. "It's only fitting that this guy, Wu Ke, outsmarted himself. The Blue Star Tunnel changed its course because of the explosion. From now on, no interstellar people can go to Blue Star, and Blue Star can return to its peace and tranquility."
"Yusheng, now you understand why the Freedom Alliance was founded?"
The scene returned to darkness, and in the void, Randy looked at Yu Sheng seriously.
Yu Sheng nodded firmly.
“What we need to do is not only for these people who are supposed to have human rights, but also for ourselves.”
"When the word dignity seems so pale and powerless, if we hide in a corner and go with the flow, then one day, when another group strips us of our human rights and shackles us, who can we expect to save us?"
"We should go back."
After a long silence, Randy patted Yu Sheng's shoulder gently but firmly. His finger touched the button at his side. Before pressing it, he suddenly remembered something. "Yu Sheng, you already know the true identity of the founder of the Freedom Alliance, that is, the Azure Homeland, right?"
"You mean..." Yu Sheng's voice was a little hesitant, "Xize?"
Randy nodded and sighed softly, "Remember to keep it a secret. It's not that Caesar doesn't trust the members of the Freedom League, but you also understand how difficult it was for Caesar to single-handedly establish the Freedom League under such circumstances. If they were discovered, the end would be ruined."
Despite having anticipated this, Yu Sheng was still inevitably shocked when Randy personally confirmed the equation of Azure Hometown = Caesar. He couldn't imagine how Caesar had managed to do it under Moss's surveillance. It was simply a miracle.
Randy pressed the button, the darkness faded, and the original room and the members of the Freedom League waiting outside the light array came back into view.
Seeing Yu Sheng and the other two return, Phil was the first to step forward and ask, "Well, after reading that information, do you have the urge to punch those ugly-looking nobles in the head?"
"I do have the urge," Yu Sheng laughed. "It's just that I don't know what I can do for the Freedom Alliance." Compared to these elites in various fields, he, a caged pet, seemed to be of little help. Yu Sheng really wanted to meet Caesar again and ask why he chose him. It couldn't be because he had a good impression of him, right?
Randy said, "Don't worry. Since Boss Azure has allowed you to enter the core of the Free Alliance directly, he must have his reasons. Boss Azure might be online at 8 o'clock tonight. We can have a meeting to discuss it."
——Moss Palace——
Caesar lay in the middle of the big bed, gasping for breath. His fair body was covered with red and purple marks. His overworked waist and legs seemed to have their nerve fibers cut off and were no longer under the control of the nerve center.
He closed his eyes slightly and tried to slow his breathing.
Caesar couldn't remember how many strange props had entered his body, but he had long since learned to endure it.
After all, he'd been in this horrible universe for six years. Caesar recalled being captured at eighteen and locked in a cage. It seemed he was originally going to be auctioned off, but Moss, the mastermind behind the Zeus Market, had set his sights on him for some reason.
After Moss exchanged a few words with the man who had captured him, Yuk, he was sent directly to Moss's home without going through the auction. Later, Yuk went to Earth to capture another person for the Blue Beast Auction, which took place every eight years.
After spending six years, he still couldn't escape from the palace.
Caesar was surprised when he saw Yu Sheng stand up for him and punch Moss at Frey's house. At that time, he wanted to become a partner with Yu Sheng. However, not only did he need to test Yu Sheng's character, but he also worried about whether Yu Sheng could stick to his original beliefs.
In the entire galaxy, perhaps no one knows his master better than Caesar.
Caesar took a deep breath, suppressing the trembling that was building up within him. Six years had passed. He had waited too long, planned too long. If the Freedom Alliance hadn't gradually built up its strength, and if Yu Sheng hadn't joined, he might have needed to plan for many more years before he could confidently execute his plan.
The time has come for us to come to an end, my lord.
…
At eight o'clock in the evening, Yu Sheng came to the initial hall and saw Wei Lan Zhu Xiang standing in the crowd with his hands in his pockets.
Even though he knew the person in front of him was Xi Ze, Yu Sheng still felt an unavoidable sense of disharmony. He walked forward and asked, "Wei Lan?"
Caesar glanced at him and burst out laughing, "What? You don't recognize me after just a few days? Let's go to the fighting room and have a fight!"
"..." Yu Sheng asked as he and Caesar walked towards the combat training ground, "Didn't you say there was a meeting? I have to report to the Law Enforcement Bureau at eleven o'clock."
"Just one round, quick and decisive."
In this duel, Yu Sheng clearly felt that Xi Ze was outmatched. After only seven minutes, Yu Sheng found a flaw in Xi Ze, and he threw him over his shoulder to the ground, dizzy and dazed. Yu Sheng helped him up, his tone unable to conceal his worry, "What's wrong with you? Is it in reality..."
"It's okay." Compared to Yu Sheng's worry, Xi Ze didn't seem frustrated at all. "You've made progress. Qiuqiu, have you signed up for the mecha competition and the fighting competition?"
"I've signed up for the fighting competition, but the mecha competition..." Yu Sheng paused, "Can we really pilot mechas?"
When Yu Sheng first heard about mechas, he researched them. Operating a mecha required not only quick hands but also a powerful mental strength that permeated every component, achieving a state of fusion between man and machine. However, as an Earthling, Yu Sheng didn't know if he had any mental strength.
At least on Earth, Yu Sheng had never heard of anyone being able to control anything with mental power. Even if there was, it had been debunked and decrypted, and was nothing more than a deceptive tactic.
"You can try." Caesar raised the corner of his lips, "It's definitely more advantageous than you think."
Yu Sheng was eager to try it out, but with his financial resources, even purchasing a virtual mecha online would likely be a long way off. Caesar seemed to see his dilemma and said, "Don't worry, we're partners now, and the organization will provide you with the funds to purchase the mecha. But we have some requirements for you."
"What do you want?"
"Get into the top ten in the fighting competition. Get into the top 100 in the mecha competition." Xize's tone was as simple as asking Yu Sheng to just come for a cameo appearance.
Yu Sheng was surprised, "This, this overestimates me." His original goal was only to be in the top ten thousand in the fighting competition. As for the mecha competition, he didn't even dare to think about it. After all, it was a field he had never been exposed to. No matter how ambitious he was, he had to know his limitations.
"So, we need special training." Caesar narrowed his eyes.
The two of them went to the secret base of the Freedom Alliance - the virtual underwater waters No. 436607. All members expressed their longing and concern for Caesar. Even those who were not good at expressing themselves, Yu Sheng could see their heartfelt respect and admiration for Caesar.
That's great, Yu Sheng thought with some envy.
The meeting lasted over an hour, and the next goal of the Freedom Alliance was determined: to rescue Caesar, the Blue Star from the Moss family. Yu Sheng listened to Caesar using the word "Caesar" in a casual tone, as if it wasn't him, and couldn't help but admire Caesar's acting skills.
After the meeting, Yu Sheng rushed to the law enforcement bureau in a hurry. After all, he was being watched by the stingy law enforcement captain Kevin, who would deduct one copper coin from his salary if he was late for one second.
Finally clocking in before ten o'clock, Kevin patted Yu Sheng on the shoulder and said, "Good job! Qiuqiu, considering your excellent performance and fighting skills, from today on, you will be responsible for law enforcement in Yelai City! If you do a good job, your base salary will be doubled!"
