Chapter 24 Ask My Brother to Save Me
Mingnuo had never expected Ti Lung's sentimentality. After watching the movie, Ti Lung was still sobbing intermittently.
Ming Nuo couldn't bear it, so he thought about it and found him a comedy, which stopped his tears.
Until the very last moment, Dillon was still fighting back. "I wasn't crying. It was a program malfunction."
"Yeah, it's not your problem." Ming Nuo knew that he was a strong-willed artificial intelligence, so he didn't expose him.
For several days, Mingnuo spent most of his time in the room playing games and watching movies with Dillon. Occasionally, he would take some time to feed Baimian in the garden, and then immediately go back to the room.
Butler Fudi looked worried and sighed. Finally, he turned to Zelphis and said, "The little prince looks very lonely. Come to think of it, there are no children his age to play with him here, so the little prince can only stay in his room playing games."
"If this continues, what if the young prince becomes depressed?"
When Mingnuo was at Stewart Manor, Sedwick played with him. Later, he went to school with him and met Field and Lin Yu.
But now Mingnuo lives in the palace, and Sedwick and the others have to go to school on weekdays and cannot come to play with Mingnuo often. Seren, who has always been with Mingnuo, has been taken away by Birdwin these days, so Mingnuo has no playmates around him.
It's normal for Mingnuo to feel lonely.
Fu Di felt so distressed just thinking about it that he even wanted to hold a party in the palace and invite all the aristocratic children who were not much different from him to come and play with him.
Zelphis also noticed this, put aside the official business at hand, and stood up to find Mingnuo.
As soon as he reached Mingnuo's door, Zelphis heard the sounds of intense gaming coming from inside, as well as the sounds of conversation.
Zelphis discovered that there seemed to be someone else addicted to the game.
"How do I jump up here?" Ming Nuo's voice sounded slightly puzzled.
Then came Dillon’s signature bass voice, “I’ll do it.”
The game fell into Dillon's hands, and Mingnuo became a bystander, watching Dillon play the game attentively, and praising Dillon's superb gaming skills from time to time.
Zelphis: “…”
Zelphis knocked on the door. Mingnuo hurried to open it. Seeing his brother standing outside, his eyes lit up, "Brother, why are you here?"
Because she had been looking at the electronic screen all this time, Ming Nuo's beautiful blue eyes were bloodshot, and she subconsciously rubbed her eyes with her hands.
Zelphis remembered the doctor's instructions, took his hand, and led him into the room.
Wet a clean towel with hot water, Zelphis leaned over and applied a warm compress to Mingnuo's eyes. He asked in a low voice, "Have you been playing games with Dillon these days?"
There was no intention of blaming, just a simple inquiry.
Ming Nuo tilted his face up, feeling the hot towel against his eyes, which was very comfortable. The heat moistened his curled eyelashes. He spoke slowly, "We didn't play games all the time. We also watched movies and the latest variety shows. There were some really pretty brothers and sisters."
Mingnuo couldn't wait to share with Zelphis the stars he liked these days.
Zelphis is a good listener and does not think that what his brother does is a waste of time or meaningless. Instead, he actively participates in Mingno's happiness.
After leaving Mingno's room, Zelphis called Dillon out. Dillon's authority initially consisted of three parts: him, the marshal stationed on the capital star, and the director of the arsenal.
Mingnuo has been added now.
Dillon stood beside Zelphis with a guilty conscience: "Your Majesty."
Zelphis handed Dillon's authority to Lorian in order to better protect him, but he didn't expect to find him a playmate by accident.
The abnormality of Dillon reported by the military was also explained at this moment. Zelphis took a look at Dillon who was behaving very seriously in front of him.
When he was with Lorien, Dillon became a wonderful playmate.
Is this an Easter egg prepared by the designer?
Zelphis lost consciousness for a moment, and the memory of a certain day in the past suddenly resurfaced before his eyes.
It was an evening, and the afterglow of the stars filled the hall. He was building a starship model, and his father Corning was sitting by the window, revising and drawing on Dillon's drawings.
Meanwhile, father Herbert was holding little Lorian high in his arms, making Lorian giggle. Herbert touched noses with the baby and said, "Our Lorian is the most beautiful baby in the world, don't you think, baby?"
Little Lorian mumbled something that the adults couldn't understand, waved his white and tender hands, and pinched his father's cheek.
Herbert let little Lorian mess around on his face. He suddenly became worried again. "What if you suddenly become like your brother as you grow up? It would be difficult to make friends then."
The young Zelphis looked at his father speechlessly, ignored him, and continued to build the model.
Herbert, as if facing a huge problem, held the child close to Koning and said, "Dear, what do you think we should do if our Lorian can't make friends in the future? Should we choose some playmates for him now?"
"Doesn't he think you're going too far?"
Corning lowered his eyes and pushed away the head that was leaning towards him, but when he put pen to paper, he added some content to Dillon's design draft.
The memories of the past slowly faded away. Dillon, who was originally just a blueprint, now stood in front of him. A flash of sadness flashed in Zelphis's golden eyes.
"Lorianne keeps screen time under two hours a day."
That was all Zelphis said, and Dillon quickly realized what he meant—he wasn't against them playing games together, but there had to be limits.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ming Nuo was still choosing the next movie to watch when Ti Lung suddenly turned off his AI and said coldly, "Today's screen time is over."
Ming Nuo had no idea that Dillon had already been interviewed by his brother. Confusion filled his eyes. Didn't he just say he wanted to see a movie? Could AI be so fickle?
Dillon pushed Mingnuo's shoulder and said, "Go feed your lamb."
Ming Nuo: “Okay.”
——
At dinner time, everyone went home one after another, and learned from Grandpa Fudi that Mingnuo was addicted to games.
Aqier immediately put his arm around Mingnuo's shoulders and said, "Let's go out and play with Second Uncle tomorrow. There's nothing to stay in this boring palace."
Ming Nuo couldn't help but look forward to it, "Where are we going to play?"
Shopping mall, amusement park or sightseeing?
Aqier met his gaze, raised the corner of his lip, and deliberately kept it a secret, "You will know tomorrow. Second uncle promises you that it will be exactly what you want."
He said it with great confidence, and Ming Nuo nodded repeatedly, smiling adorably, "Thank you, Second Uncle."
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words fell, the other three people all looked at them silently. Bodwin looked at Mingnuo with pity unconsciously, looking at him as if he were a poor kid, "Are you sure you want to go out and play with Lao Er?"
Seren also frowned worriedly, "Don't go, I'll stay home with you tomorrow."
Zelphis: "Think about it."
"Am I some unreliable second uncle? Why are you so worried about me? Did I lose my child or something?"
Seeing that everyone was trying to ruin his plan, Aqier put his arm around Mingnuo's shoulders in displeasure and said, "Follow me tomorrow, I promise you that this trip will be worthwhile."
Ming Nuo didn't know what he was about to face. Seeing Aqier so confident, he nodded stupidly, "Yeah! Thank you, second uncle."
The next morning, Mingnuo excitedly followed Achir out, but before leaving, Zelphis repeatedly confirmed, "Are you really going out with Second Uncle?"
"Yes, yes." Ming Nuo's eyes, bright as stars, were full of anticipation. He looked at Aqir who was already ready, "When are we leaving?"
Aqir stood up and said, "Now..."
"Wait..." Grandpa Fudi brought a small backpack to Mingnuo. He put the backpack on Mingnuo's back and carefully instructed him, "There are snacks and juice in it. My little prince must take good care of himself."
It was as if going out with Archer was a difficult adventure.
Mingnuo noticed something was wrong at this time, but out of trust in his second uncle, he still followed Archer onto the starship with a smile on his face.
Zelphis's black cape swayed in the wind. He instructed Mingnuo, "Contact me if you have any questions. Be careful of your second uncle."
"Ah?" Ming Nuo thought he had misheard, but at this time the car door had been locked and the starship took off into the sky.
Ming Nuo looked at the gradually shrinking figure, feeling a little uneasy, and finally asked Aqier, "Uncle, where are we going?"
Aqir sat beside him calmly, "It's a super fun place. Every project in it is super interesting. You will definitely like it."
It seems like we really are going to the amusement park.
Mingnuo held the small backpack in front of him and let out a breath. He opened the backpack and looked inside. It was full of his favorite bread and dried fruits, as well as a bottle of grape juice.
Grandpa Fudi was so nice. Mingnuo happily picked up a piece of pure milk bread and started eating it.
But as the surrounding scenery became more and more desolate and the buildings became fewer and fewer, Mingnuo began to panic. Is there really an amusement park built in this remote wilderness?
Half an hour later, the starship slowly landed at a large military base. Several officers immediately came to greet Aqir. Aqir waved them away and said, "I'm bringing my little Lorian here to play. Don't worry about us."
Ming Nuo stared at the majestic military base with his mouth wide open. He swallowed hard, his voice trembling. "Are we in the right place?"
"You're right, this is the place." Aqir pulled his wrist, a smile on his handsome face, and led him straight into the base.
Due to his status, Achilles brought Mingnuo to the training ground without any obstacles.
Standing on the high platform of the huge training ground, all you can see are strong soldiers doing weight-bearing running, and their wheezing breathing echoes in the training ground.
A gravity simulator was turned on in this closed training ground. The moment Ming Nuo stepped in, he felt his body was very heavy and he was sweating profusely after taking every step.
At this moment, Mingnuo wanted to cry but had no tears. He shouldn't have left his brother. He wanted to go home.
Several men in platinum military uniforms came over and saluted Aqir solemnly, "Your Highness Aqir!"
Then they saw Ming Nuo with silver hair and blue eyes, and they were all stunned. Ming Nuo has not officially appeared in front of the media yet, but Ming Nuo's face appeared in the video released before.
One of them was the first to react, "His Highness Lorian!"
The other officers also saluted Ming Nuo. Ming Nuo felt a surge of pressure in front of them. He looked around in panic and forced a smile, "Hello."
Aqier waved his hand to let them leave, then took Mingnuo's shoulder and walked to another place, introducing him to him: "They are the captains of the guards and Lin Xunyu's subordinates."
Marshal Lin Xunyu is Lin Yu's father. Ming Nuo nodded and looked at the soldiers who were training hard on the training ground.
According to regulations, two of the three marshals of the empire will guard the fortresses in each galaxy, and one will stay on Ephir to maintain law and order and train the guards.
The high-intensity training caused mottled and messy mental power to spread in the air. The mental power from different people mixed together, and most of them were filled with a strong desire to fight. Ming Nuo pursed his lips in some discomfort.
The harmless and docile mental power gently pushed away the mental power surrounding it. The moment the two mental powers came into contact, the originally violent mental power suddenly calmed down.
All of this manifests itself in the owner of the spiritual power, who instantly feels refreshed and all physical fatigue is swept away.
Before they knew it, the team on the training ground was moving faster and faster. The sergeant in charge of timing was surprised and muttered, "What the hell! Why are all of them so excited today? Are they on a steroid?"
Ming Nuo didn't pay attention to the abnormality here. He yawned and his curled eyelashes drooped listlessly.
There were too many spiritual forces surrounding him, so he could only push them away one by one and turned to ask Aqir, "When are we going home?"
Aqir was surprised: "Isn't it fun here?"
Ming Nuo couldn't bear to hit him, "It's okay."
"It's really boring just looking at it like that." Aqir thought for a moment, then suddenly looked in a direction and said excitedly, "Let's go to the holographic simulation room. It can simulate parkour and climbing in various terrains, and you can also do ropeway jumping and bungee jumping."
It was clearly a testing site used to push the soldiers to their limits, but in Achir's mouth it became a place for fun.
"I don't want to play, I don't want to play." Ming Nuo was so scared that his face turned pale and he shook his head like a rattle. "I'm afraid of heights."
Mingnuo only recently discovered that he is afraid of heights. He was not afraid of heights before because he could not see heights.
"Are you afraid of heights?" Aqier looked at Mingnuo in surprise, took his hand and strode towards the simulation room, "Then you should give it a try. Second uncle told you that fear of heights is easy to overcome. Just jump a few more times and it will naturally get better."
Ming Nuo's expression was blank: "Jump? What are you jumping for?"
"Jumping off a cliff, free falling from a high altitude, anything is fine. Trust Second Uncle, I can help you overcome your fear today. How could Perseus be afraid of heights? Your grandfather actually threw us off the starship back then."
Ming Nuo was so scared that his legs went weak and he really regretted it.
He will definitely listen to his brother and be careful with his second uncle in the future.
Elsewhere, the new recruits finished their weight-bearing session. Yu Yao, who was in first place, couldn't wait to see his own results. He cheered enthusiastically and taunted the other new recruits who were a step behind him, raising his middle finger and saying, "You're too weak!"
The others were panting, and seeing how smug he was, they all clamored for another competition.
The sergeant stopped them, saying, "It's only fifteen minutes of rest time. If you want to make trouble, you won't get any rest from now on. Practice for a whole day!"
The new recruits finally quieted down. Yu Yao suddenly caught sight of a tall figure not far away, who put his arm around the sergeant's shoulder in a familiar manner. "Is that His Highness Achir?"
"It's said that His Highness Achir is bringing the little prince down to play today." The sergeant glanced at the dishonest recruit, knowing exactly what they were thinking. "Why? Want to spar with His Highness?"
"This opportunity must not be missed." Yu Yao, with his handsome, uncouth appearance and unruly manner of speech, was a true military scoundrel. "You see, His Highness rarely comes to the training grounds in person, or when he does, he's accompanied by a group of officers. If I dared to ask His Highness to spar with me in front of the officers, they would beat me to death."
But he was also itching to do so. What soldier in the Empire wouldn't want to spar with the legendary Perseus? A Perseus with a spiritual power far beyond measure?
Even if His Highness Achir is unwilling to fight with him, what if the young prince is willing?
Because Achill was too tall and completely blocked Ming Nuo's view, Yu Yao could not see Ming Nuo's front.
But as long as it is Perseus, he must be at the top of the martial arts level, and this little prince is definitely no exception.
Thinking this, Yu Yao followed with great confidence, but Achir and Mingnuo had already entered the simulation room, so he simply squatted outside the door and waited.
Inside the simulation room, strong winds whistled past the thousand-foot cliff, and everything was restored exactly one-to-one according to the real scene.
Ming Nuo's legs and feet went weak, and he clung to Aqier's waist, refusing to let go. He closed his eyes tightly, not daring to look, and his voice was about to be blown away by the wind. "I won't jump! Wuuuuuuuuu, Second Uncle, I'm really scared!"
Aqier patted his back and gave Mingnuo the greatest support. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Second uncle will take you to dance together."
After saying that, he leaned forward, grabbed Mingnuo's wrist, and jumped off the cliff together.
The strong feeling of weightlessness made Mingnuo's heart beat wildly. He buried his head tightly in Achilles' arms. The howling wind blew his silver hair into disarray, hitting his face randomly.
Ming Nuo closed his eyes and screamed, "Ahhhh——"
"Hahahahaha!" Archer fell with him, laughing, "It's fun!"
Ming Nuo was so scared that tears were about to burst out.
Brother, help me!
Perhaps at this moment he and Dillon really had a telepathic connection, because Dillon suddenly called out to him, "Lorian."
Hope rose in Mingnuo's heart. Just as he was about to say something, the whistling wind blew directly into his mouth, making his words unclear. "Di...you...my brother..."
Hurry up and call his brother to rescue him!
"Your brother has set a two-hour screen time limit for you." Dillon naturally matched the key words for him and asked him expectantly, "Are you going to play games today? If not, can you let me play a few rounds?"
Ming Nuo: “…”
At this moment, my heart was chilled to the bone. Could Ti Lung really be called artificial intelligence?!
