rescue
Since Frey heard the news about the Queen from Moss that day, he set off overnight to return to Wenxing.
Wenxing is very close to a resource star of the Zerg. If his guess is true, then the first thing Queen Qiu En would do is to attack this resource star. By then, when the war spreads to Wenxing, the queen would probably use the interstellar order to force him to send troops to help.
If it was truly about resisting the Zerg, Frey would have no choice but to do so. He was worried that the secret information he had received was true, and that this Queen was connected to the Zerg...
After all, this concerns the safety of the people of Wenxing. Frey only told the servants that there was no need to punish Yu Sheng and left. However, he did not expect that the butler Luther would dare to interfere.
After three days on Wenxing, including two days and two nights of meetings, Frey finally decided on a plan to deal with the Queen. After all, he had no evidence of her collaborating with the enemy, so he had to save face, but he couldn't let the Queen see his perfunctory approach and use it as an opportunity to file a complaint against him within the Interstellar Alliance.
Frey's position on the throne of Wenxing is not stable. Someone is watching him at all times, and he cannot make any mistakes.
After the meeting, Frey didn't have time to rest, but forced himself to review documents. After reviewing the documents, he had to rush back to Mantu Star to participate in social events. He wished he could split himself into ten people.
By the time he returned to Mantu Star and his mansion after finishing his socializing, it was already the fourth day Yu Sheng had been caged. During this time, Luther had repeatedly tried to take Yu Sheng out, only asking her to put on the collar and show her obedience. However, each time, Yu Sheng lay in the cage, unmoved, either sleeping or reading.
Luther was not discouraged. In his eyes, there was no pet that could not be locked up. If he kept Lingling locked up for a while longer, Lingling would naturally beg him to let him out.
"Mr. Frey." Luther bowed to Frey who had returned with his hands slightly bent at his sides, and then briefly reported on the affairs of the mansion and future itinerary as usual.
As Frey listened, he nodded slightly. When he heard that there was a "rare pet party" on the schedule for the day after tomorrow, he remembered that he had been busy these days and had forgotten about it. He wondered how Yu Sheng was doing now.
"Where's Bell? In the pet room?" Frey asked.
"The bell is in Reception Room No. 2, Mr. Frey," Luther replied respectfully.
Frey paused while drinking his water. "Room No. 2? Why is it there?"
"It's punishment for injuring a guest. Also, to tame Lingling, I've locked her in the blue cage." Luther looked at Frey calmly, no trace of fear on his face. "This is a decision I made for you based on the Glick family motto."
“…” Frey’s fingers tightened, almost crushing the cup in his hand, but he forced himself to hold back and just glanced at Luther lightly.
It's not time yet.
If we can't take down this spy in one fell swoop, we can't alert him in advance.
"Don't make decisions for me about the bell anymore, butler." Frey took another sip of water and stood up. "He is my personal pet. I don't like sharing pets with others."
"Oh, by the way, Ampe is having his wedding in six months. I remember he doesn't have a long-standing butler." Frey frowned, looking troubled. "I don't want to give him a chance to cause trouble. Besides, the prince's wedding is really important. Please go back and keep an eye on it for me."
Luther was stunned, thought for a moment, and agreed, "Yes, Mr. Frey."
Today, the No. 2 reception room is still bustling with activity. A group of children are surrounding the cage, looking around curiously. They are all family members brought by the guests who came to negotiate the deal. However, these children are not as likable as Lele. They use their childish and innocent words to cruelly destroy Yu Sheng's will.
"Wow, this is the blue beast, it looks just like us!"
"Don't be ashamed. Blue beasts are much prettier than you! Hehe, I want to get one too."
"Humph, isn't it just a small beast? Not even as cute as Ballmon!"
“…”
Yu Sheng's book was frozen on that page, he couldn't concentrate on reading. So he put the book aside, lay down, and closed his eyes to rest. This action immediately attracted the chatter of the children outside, "Why is he lying down?"
"Are you sick or asleep?"
"Maybe it needs a walk? Mom said that pets like Ballmon and Dogmon need to be walked, but this Bluemon is always locked up."
"Stupid, that's because the blue beast is expensive. What if it runs away?"
“…”
The living room became like an amusement park, with children and adults talking and laughing. The noise was like an invisible and intangible poisonous fog, which filled and enveloped Yu Sheng.
After being locked up in this tiny cage for days, like a chimpanzee in a zoo, Yu Sheng was far from as calm as he appeared. In fact, if it weren't for his unwavering commitment to freedom and Lele's encouragement, Yu Sheng might have collapsed.
"Mr. Frey?!" A scream split the noise like a thunder. The living room, which had just resembled the playground, suddenly became silent. The children were only keenly aware of the adults' fear. They looked at each other and dared not speak.
The adults didn't dare to breathe. Sawyer, sweating profusely, hunched over as he greeted the angry man in front of him. "Mr. Frey, I didn't know you were here..."
Frey glanced at Sawyer and then turned his eyes away. He fixed his gaze on the cage in the corner of the room and walked over quickly.
Yu Sheng lay inside with his eyes closed, as if he had no perception of the outside world.
"Open the cage." Frey's voice was cold. "Hurry!"
But the cage door lock was registered with Luther's fingerprint, and no one else could open it. Soya immediately said, "I'll go call Butler Luther!"
Seeing that the exit was narrow and small, Frey felt even more apologetic. He bent down and went in under everyone's nervous gaze, gently touching Yu Sheng's body, "Lingling, I'm here to pick you up."
Yu Sheng didn't respond.
Frey's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately shouted, "Bring the photon knife and cut the cage open!"
The photon knife was brought over and the glass was completely shaved off two-thirds of the cage, which was then carried away by the staff waiting nearby. Frey bent down and easily picked up Yu Sheng horizontally.
Yu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and met Frey's worried and apologetic eyes.
Seeing Yu Sheng wake up, Frey breathed a sigh of relief. He carried Yu Sheng all the way back to the pet room. From an angle where no one else could see, he whispered to Yu Sheng in his arms, "I'm sorry, Yu Sheng."
These five words are in Chinese.
"Your pet is very weak. Although there are no major physical problems, it is in a state of intense anxiety." The blue beast doctor said after scanning Yu Sheng's entire body with a machine. "Blue beasts are very fragile creatures. Please treat them with great care. Even if you are training the pet, please pay attention to the blue beast's psychological well-being..."
Frey patiently listened to the doctor's lengthy explanation and inquired meticulously about specific feeding procedures before paying him a generous fee and sending him away. Yu Sheng remained unresponsive throughout the entire process, sprawled on his bed, seemingly resting his eyes.
Looking at Yu Sheng like this, Frey sighed almost inaudibly, walked to the bed and sat down, and said to the staff, "All of you get out."
"Yes, Mr. Frey." Everyone went out obediently.
Frey stretched out his hand and was about to touch Yu Sheng's head, but Yu Sheng suddenly shrank back and moved to the other side of the bed, keeping a distance from Frey.
Unable to touch the head with soft black hair, Frey's eyes darkened. Seeing that Yu Sheng still closed his eyes and refused to contact the outside world, he thought for a moment and said, "I customized a virtual warehouse for you."
Yu Sheng was startled. Before he opened his eyes, his ears had already pricked up.
"From now on, you can access the Starlink network in your bedroom," Frey said calmly. "This is my compensation to you."
Yu Sheng found it incredible. The opportunity to go online had just landed on his head like a pie in the sky. Was there a trap?
Seeing that Yu Sheng finally couldn't help but open his eyes and stare at him, Frey laughed and wanted to rub Yu Sheng's head, but was afraid of scaring him again. "There is a pet party the day after tomorrow. Thank you in advance for your cooperation." After saying that, he left.
Yu Sheng was left with a question mark on his mind: Who promised to cooperate with you?
Yu Sheng had originally wanted to sneak back into the yard for some more military training. After all, he'd been caged for three days, and there was really no other way. Those few days of caged confinement had wasted most of his previous efforts and sweat. But this wasn't enough to make Yu Sheng discouraged or retreat. As long as he devised a harder and more tiring training plan and gritted his teeth and persevered, he would be able to catch up with his previous training progress.
But before he could change into loose clothes and slip out, Anna was already at the door with the virtual warehouse, smiling and saying, "Lingling, come and open the door for me."
Yu Sheng opened the door and saw the eggshell-shaped machine that Anna was carrying, and his eyes lit up.
"This is the latest model of XP WORLD virtual warehouse ordered by Mr. Frey himself," Anna smiled happily, probably because the bell was released. "This model of virtual warehouse is very, very expensive! It's worth ten gold star coins!" Generally speaking, even a virtual warehouse that can be called high-end and luxurious is only worth a hundred silver star coins. The audience of this virtual warehouse is only the nobles at the top of the food chain.
Yu Sheng didn't actually have a strong concept of interstellar currency, but when he thought about the introduction to the virtual warehouse he had read in a book before, he also remembered that he planned to save 500 copper star coins to secretly buy the cheapest virtual warehouse. One silver star coin was equal to 100 copper star coins, and one gold star coin was equal to 100 silver star coins. With this calculation, ten gold star coins were indeed shockingly expensive.
Following Yu Sheng's suggestion, Anna placed the virtual warehouse next to the bed. She excitedly said, "Lingling, don't forget to send me your account number when you log in to the Star Network! I'll add you as a friend!"
Yu Sheng subconsciously wanted to refuse, because after all, he was going to the Star Network to make some shameful plans, and he didn't want anyone to know his identity.
Before Yu Sheng could think of a reason to refuse, Anna realized something and said with a frustrated look on her face, "Oh, right, we can't add each other as friends. I heard that XP WORLD's virtual warehouse can only add XP WORLD virtual warehouse users. Sigh, this setting discriminates against poor civilians..."
"..." Yu Sheng twitched his lips, feeling both dissatisfied and relieved.
After seeing Anna off, Yu Sheng carefully opened the instruction manual of the virtual warehouse and poked at it. Uh... why don’t you read this instruction manual?
If the manual couldn't be read by itself, the little robot wouldn't be able to translate it into Chinese, and Yu Sheng wouldn't understand how to use the virtual warehouse. You know, although Yu Sheng can communicate normally in Interstellar Language, in terms of literacy, Yu Sheng is probably only equivalent to an elementary school student in Interstellar!
"Is there any difficulty?" Frey's low voice sounded behind him. Yu Sheng turned around and felt a chill in his heart. This man had evaded his vigilance again and came in at some point.
Our own military training should also focus on strengthening anti-reconnaissance capabilities.
Yu Sheng didn't say anything, but Frey had already seen through Yu Sheng's problem. He stepped forward and explained the process of using the virtual warehouse to Yu Sheng in a concise and clear manner. After thinking for a moment, he said, "This virtual warehouse will monitor your physical condition. When your physical condition deteriorates, it will issue a warning. If your physical condition deteriorates to a level that threatens your health, it will force you to log off. Of course, if the virtual warehouse detects any fluctuations in the outside world that could pose a threat to you, it will also force you to log off."
Yu Sheng listened and nodded subconsciously. It was indeed a virtual warehouse of ten gold star coins. It could be said that it was very comprehensive in terms of user safety.
"Then you can have fun on your own," Frey said, pausing before leaving. "You don't have to worry about me or anyone else monitoring your personal network. The main reason this virtual warehouse is so expensive is because of its unbreakable privacy protection."
It must be said that after hearing these words, Yu Sheng felt relieved. For some reason, he felt that Frey would not make up lies to deceive him.
After saying that, Frey left, as if he came here specifically to teach Yu Sheng how to use the Internet.
Following Frey's instructions, Yu Sheng climbed into the virtual chamber and closed the door. He first recorded his iris, then connected several wires to his head and pressed the open button.
Instantly, Yu Sheng's vision darkened, and then an elegant female voice rang out, "Dear user XP_419, welcome to the XP WORLD virtual warehouse. Before I take you on a journey through the interstellar network, please allow me to scan your body and build an interstellar network image for you."
In the darkness, countless stars appeared in front of Yu Sheng and condensed into a huge mirror. Yu Sheng looked into the mirror and saw a person who looked exactly like him standing inside.
"Now, please orally state the image content that needs to be changed." The female voice said politely.
