Chapter 133
But it was obvious that Ye Wangxing was not joking, he really thought so, and Fang Yun even saw some of the parts placed on the desk in his room.
This is a large suite room that Ye’s parents specially bought for Ye Wangxing after he broke off the engagement.
Although his previous room was still large, it could not be compared with his current small suite which was nearly 80 square meters.
He was just planning to have a good talk with Ye Wangxing, using the reason of providing additional support to the eldest prince to make Ye Wangxing wake up.
But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, Fang Yun suddenly remembered something and swallowed the words back.
——Now the eldest prince has fallen out with his father. So far, the eldest prince is not in any danger of life and is helping Ye Wangxing promote his mechanical products, which shows His Majesty’s attitude.
It’s easy to tell that Huo Zhengchuan’s position as crown prince is in danger now, otherwise why would those nobles invite Ye Wangxing to the banquet so quickly?
They appear bright and elegant and noble on the surface, but in fact they are the most opportunistic. As long as there is profit, none of these nobles have integrity.
Thinking of this, Fang Yun finally said:
"...In that case, I won't bother you anymore."
Ye Wangxing on the opposite side also visibly breathed a sigh of relief. After saying a few polite words, he immediately closed the door.
Fang Yun was not angry. He immediately turned around and got into the car, setting the destination for the car.
——He had to quickly report these things back to the nobles.
In particular, he had to let the nobles know that it was not that he did not invite Ye Wangxing, but that Ye Wangxing did not want to come at all.
Although it is impossible to make them give up Ye Wangxing, it can make them hesitate slightly when betting. As long as resources are allocated to Huo Zhengchuan, it will be a victory for Fang Yun.
Fang Yun thought so as he hurried along and came to an ancient manor on the edge of the city.
This manor looks old and is surrounded by dense woods, making it seem quite hidden, but in fact it is heavily guarded inside and is an important place for nobles to discuss confidential matters in private.
Even this manor still uses the old facial recognition unlocking, which is completely different from the current StarCraft full-body scanning unlocking.
'The so-called style of the old aristocrats.'
Fang Yun rolled his eyes inwardly before unlocking the facial unlocking system. The door then slowly opened towards him.
However, even though he thought so, Feiche still entered the manor obediently. The architectural style of the manor was simple and solemn, and the walls were covered with mottled traces left by the years. There were even creepers all over the walls, which made the manor quite gloomy. This was why others dared not come here.
But the nobles have something to say. This is the most popular retro style, a gloomy castle with ivy all over the walls. Doesn’t this highlight their aristocratic status?
Although Fang Yun stood on the side of the nobles, he had to admit that sometimes the aesthetic tastes of some nobles seemed to be sick.
But now is not the time to complain about the aristocratic aesthetic. After Fang Yun's car entered the manor, it was immediately taken over by the intelligent system here and parked in the parking lot, while Fang Yun himself walked into the residence.
When Fang Yun walked into the meeting room which was luxuriously decorated but had a depressing atmosphere, he saw that the nobles in the room seemed to be arguing about something.
After listening carefully, I realized that they were arguing about how they should allocate contact rights with Ye Wangxing if he attended the banquet.
The old lady of the Ji family sat in the main seat. She was wearing a gorgeous dark purple dress with delicate gold thread patterns embroidered on the hem and sparkling gems inlaid on the neckline, which sparkled coldly under the light.
Her silver hair was combed meticulously, and one could tell from the look on her face that she had a serious, even harsh, personality.
Although time has left deep marks on her face, her skin is loose and full of wrinkles, but her eyes are still as sharp as an eagle. The other nobles sat on both sides, arguing.
But when they saw Fang Yun coming, their topic suddenly stopped and then they looked expectant.
The same was true for Madam Ji. After all, after her son fainted at the competition that day, although he did not embarrass himself in front of the whole universe, he did become famous among his friends.
Although it is impossible to marry Ye Wangxing now, after all, they grew up together and are childhood sweethearts. By the time the time comes, it is almost certain that the resources that Ye Wangxing will reveal from his fingers will be enough for Ji Fangtao to live on for a lifetime.
Madam Ji had beautiful thoughts, but unfortunately the reality was cruel.
"…I'm sorry, old lady. My brother said he has to prepare for the mechanical manufacturing competition and will not be able to attend the banquet during this period."
Fang Yun still had a gentle smile on his face, and there was even a hint of apology in that smile, but the words he said made Madam Ji's face darken for a moment.
But she quickly returned to normal and said with an elder's manner:
"That's such a shame. I originally wanted to meet this kid. After all, I've watched him grow up. Now that he's older, I want to see the younger ones. But it's good for him to participate in the competition and focus on his career."
Madam Ji said with a look of pity.
"Ah, elder sister, I am pregnant now after all. I don't have much energy and can only focus on important things. This banquet is not a festival or a holiday. At most, we old guys want to talk to the children. It is normal for the children not to want to talk to us."
The nobles around also echoed the sentiment, and they all looked like magnanimous elders, but in just a few words, they defined Ye Wangxing as someone who looked down on his elders.
Fang Yun felt a chill in his heart as he watched.
Although no one cares much about reputation in the interstellar age, the idea that destroying someone's reputation means the end of that person's life is impossible to happen in reality.
——But the premise is that this person is not collectively considered that way by the nobles.
As long as one wants to mix in the aristocratic circle, the evaluation of these nobles is particularly important. Even if the royal family supports him, what does it matter? He can't attract any nobles to stand up for him and provide him with resources.
These nobles, like the political families in the neighboring federation, control resources, power, and connections, and sometimes even the emperor cannot do anything about them.
This is also the reason why these nobles have been able to last for hundreds of years.
They have mastered the standards, and who is a qualified nobility and who is not is all decided by a word from them.
Now Ye Wangxing has obviously been kicked out of the qualified range.
This was obviously the most terrifying thing for Fang Yun, who was bent on climbing up the social ladder and winning over the nobles for Huo Zhengchuan.
"If Ye Wangxing knew about this, he would probably regret why he rejected the nobles' invitation. After all, after he rejected the nobles' invitation, the door to the noble circle was closed to him. Even if they showed respect to him on the surface, it was because of their relationship with the emperor and the eldest prince. If he left the emperor and the eldest prince——"
When Fang Yun thought of this, his expression suddenly became a little strange, because he thought of something.
"It seems that without the emperor and the eldest prince, the nobles would not look at Ye Wangxing any differently..."
Very good, now things are clear. Without the emperor and the eldest prince, the nobles will not look at Ye Wangxing differently, and may even belittle Ye Wangxing.
With these two people, even if Ye Wangxing did not come to the banquet, refused their invitation, or even ignored the nobles, the nobles would still come to him with flattering faces and perseverance.
Besides...
Fang Yun recalled Ye Wangxing's obsession with mechanical manufacturing and the patent he currently holds.
It seems that Ye Wangxing no longer needs to enter the aristocratic circle, and he himself is not the type of person who plays power games.
Thinking of this, Fang Yun looked at the nobles in front of him who were talking to each other about Ye Wangxing, and suddenly his previous fear of them disappeared.
——Instead, it’s like seeing people discussing whether fish need bicycles. It’s ridiculous and absurd.
However, the nobles did not notice Fang Yun’s thoughts. They were still thinking that after the news was leaked, even if Ye Wangxing didn’t care much, he would not refuse them again the next time they invited him, right?
Moreover, with Ye Wangxing's current reputation among the people, only nobles like them can save it.
But what the nobles did not expect was that the crisis in their careers came even faster than Ye Wangxing's surrender.
Within the next ten days, Ye Wangxing's mechanical cats began to spread throughout the galaxy. Not only the Empire, but even the neighboring Alliance began to receive mechanical cats.
And because it is cheap and does not require taxes, it has received unanimous praise from the general public, although some nobles and rich second-generations may comment that this has no taste at all, and that mechanical cats are used to transport these round, ugly little things, and no protective measures are taken for extremely fragile items such as fragile flower branches.
But the general public said that the next line of delivery after the mechanical cat on Zhinao is robot delivery. You can spend more than 10 yuan to find a drone robot for delivery, which is just right to find some work for these drone robots whose business volume has dropped sharply.
"After all, they need some business too, as they are so busy that they can't respond and become robots that just sit there and stare blankly at the delivery point every day."
This netizen directly mocked the response given by the logistics company when the express delivery was slow before.
And below, both netizens from the Empire and the Alliance responded one after another.
Now the logistics industries of both the Alliance and the Empire suffered a severe blow, and they couldn't even retaliate.
——After all, this robotic cat is a project personally managed by the president and the royal family.
No matter how brave they are or how many resources they have, they are not the rulers of this country after all.
Within the rules, they can only temporarily give up their interests.
When things got to this point, they could only accept it with a wry smile, and they were even prepared to swallow their anger.
But what they didn't expect was that Ye Wangxing actually chased them and killed them.
——The nobles and the families of the alliance watched Ye Wangxing use the nutrient chamber to create a small household vegetable breeding base in the mechanical manufacturing competition.
The area is not large, just enough for a family to eat.
But this was a bolt from the blue for agriculture, which had already been monopolized by the nobles.
It's easy to tell that those people would not miss such an opportunity to please Ye Wangxing. Once those people please Ye Wangxing, it would be difficult for those farmers who rely on farms and monopoly of vegetable seeds.
They are 100% sure that those people will definitely fight with each other and then do things like offering a year's worth of seeds for free when you buy this nutrient warehouse!
The nobles were really getting restless now. Although logistics had suffered a severe blow before, it was just a small matter for them. After all, there were still a large amount of goods that could not be transported by robots or these little guys.
But by then everyone will grow their own vegetables at home. Who will they sell those vegetable seeds that they have sorted and classified with great difficulty into different grades?
As a result, some true and false rumors about the ambiguous relationship between Ye Wangxing and the royal father and son suddenly spread on the Internet, and they were made up with details.
There were also some rumors that this beta was using the baby in her belly to force her way to the throne.
The nobles are accustomed to rumors killing people. Even if online violence in the interstellar age has been curbed, once it sets the pace, it cannot be underestimated.
Can……
However, the situation was completely different from what the nobles had expected. In their imagination, Ye Wangxing should immediately face public boycott, including the products under his name, just as they had experienced in the past.
So what if Ye Wangxing's products are cheap? It's not like companies that sold cheap products have been boycotted before, right?
However.
"The Xiong Jing Shura Field is great! If we can make it more competitive, we can lower the price of the mechanical cat suit! I want a big furry cat to deliver my packages!"
"And there's the nutrient tank that Ye Wangxing just released in the competition! I'll make a wish for a year's worth of nutrient solution and a year's worth of seeds!"
"Life suddenly has hope now, hehe."
This is applauded.
"Without Ye Wangxing, who would gossip with us? Not only does it provide us with this kind of royal gossip, it also reduces our cost of living! - So, Ye Wangxing, can you take a look at the president of our company and let him compete with His Majesty and improve our employee benefits?"
"That's right, just seduce a few more. Take a look at these tech giants and you don't know if they suit your taste..."
"Pray that Ye Wangxing will fall in love with our dean. The research institute is really too busy!"
This is for offering and making wishes.
Looking at the situation in front of them, the nobles found it really hard to understand why these people were acting like this. They once again sent out a group of navy troops to try to divert the topic to boycotting Ye Wangxing.
Unfortunately, netizens’ reactions disappointed them again.
"——For this price, I'll accept it even if the mechanical cat sharpens its claws on my package shell."
"You can boycott it if you want. Who is he to influence the low price of mechanical cats?"
"It's just that his private life is a bit messy. Just because he has brought down the price of express delivery, I would send my blessing to him when he has a child."
"That's right, you get what you pay for. They sell it cheap but with all the functions, unlike the previous ones which are cheap but are castrated versions to make money from us - when I received the package, I could see the mechanical cat licking the void fur, it's worth it!"
The nobles who paid for the navy but were scolded in return and the wealthy people next door: …
Cursing.jpg
【A-choo! 】
In the system space, Ye Wangxing suddenly sneezed. This sneeze directly made Yijiu beside him look at his host and turned on the scanning mode. After finding that his host was in good health, Yijiu also relaxed his vigilance.
He turned around and began to count the attention points with his very excited host.
【Tasker Panel

Reward: [6 million attention value, 20 million small world currency, 10,000 grams of gold (can be brought to the real world)]
Ye Wangxing's eyes widened when he saw these, especially the fact that the attention value he had gained from this mission was more than all his previous ones combined.
If he goes on like this, he will probably be able to go home soon. Ye Wangxing thought with excitement on his face and looked at Yijiu beside him.
Yijiu was naturally happy for the host and even set off some small fireworks for Ye Wangxing.
Ye Wangxing was naturally even happier, but after being happy, Ye Wangxing suddenly realized something.
——If the growth rate is like this, then won’t he and Yijiu be separated soon?
Thinking of this, Ye Wangxing's expression also showed a hint of reluctance.
His reason and emotions were straining against each other in his mind.
Reason: Even though you like him, you can't just abandon him and go home, right?
Feeling: Reason is right.
My rationality, which is often beaten up by my emotions when it comes to things related to Yijiu:... ?
Feelings: ——So you should work harder while you have the remaining time!
Reason: ...That’s what I said.
Ye Wangxing also chose the emotional option without hesitation.
He definitely has to go home, but this does not conflict with his love for Yijiu.
——And with Yijiu’s current situation, Ye Wangxing wasn’t sure whether he would come to his senses.
Thinking of this, Ye Wangxing felt a little depressed, but he still forced himself to respond to Yijiu's questions.
...But today he no longer had the mood to be ambiguous with Yijiu.
Let him rest for a day.
However, he did not notice that Yijiu's eyes had already been on him.
He looked at him for a long time.
Yijiu noticed that his host's eyes widened when he saw these attention values.
Yijiu was also happy for his host. After all, at this rate of growth, his host would be able to go home after completing a few more tasks.
Yijiu even set off some fireworks for his host.
【Thank you, 19! 】
Along with the sound of cheers, Yijiu looked towards his host, just in time to see the fireworks reflected in his host's eyes.
And Yijiu, just like at the end of the first mission, suddenly saved a screenshot of the scene in front of him for some unknown reason.
Because of this, Yijiu's processor was distracted for a second, and when Yijiu re-focused the analysis program on his own host, he found that the host's expression after watching the fireworks had become a little sad for some reason.
Yijiu didn't understand what was going on. He carefully checked his previous behavior and found that he had not done anything that could cause sadness to the host.
He met all of his emotional needs and physical contact, fearing that his host would develop psychological problems due to these issues.
Then the host's low mood can only be caused by external factors.
Yijiu immediately began searching, and without showing any emotion, he began to ask the host what had happened.
[…No, nothing. I just saw those nobles, the senior executives of the alliance and the capital families jointly setting traps for the people. They asked people to pay for shipping fees on both sides, and the vegetables that people could eat were all sprayed with pesticides. People were forced to drink nutritional supplements, making eating a luxury. It was not pleasant to watch.]
Yijiu heard his host speak, his voice full of depression and discomfort.
[Luckily, you, Yijiu, taught me how to make those machines and added them to the script. Now they can live a little easier. This can be considered an accident between the two of us, right? ]
Yijiu looked at his host and said, his expression even showing an obvious forced smile, and the emotional monitor on the host also began to sound the alarm.
He slowly narrowed his eyes.
[Host, the idea was yours, I just followed your orders, and these technologies are nothing in the entire universe, they are just some basic system programs. ]
The two-meter-tall, delicate-looking system sat on the sofa, looking at its host, and said calmly.
[Host, don't underestimate yourself. You are a very good host. 】
When Ye Wangxing heard Yijiu's words, he forced a smile.
He knew that Yijiu's praise was sincere, and he was indeed a good host.
Can……
[I know. By the way, let's discuss this task quickly. There is still 50% of this task to be completed. It should be because Huo Zhengchuan did not announce in public that he likes Fang Yun. We have to think of a way to cover this matter up...]
Ye Wangxing used the mission to cover up the lost emotion on his face. After talking for a long time, he finally calmed down and prepared to talk to Yijiu again tomorrow.
What Ye Wangxing didn't notice was that after he left, Yijiu calmly collected information about the nobles and capitalist families who were involved in the Ye Wangxing incident during this period.
——Then he immediately included the other person in the next script.
He also admitted that this was revenge, but he felt that it was understandable. After all, it was normal for his system to keep the host physically and mentally healthy.
Then it is necessary to strike at those nobles and capitalist families who have ruined the host's mood, made the host forget to approach him today, and happen to be within the attack range.
"After all, this is necessary to strengthen the character, so why not use this excuse when it comes to you?"
Yijiu thought calmly.
The number 19 would be wasted if it were not used, but the sky fell for the nobles and capitalist families.
"X's industry has suffered a commercial blow!"
"The head of the X family was caught with corruption and is in jail!"
"The eldest son of the X family who had just been promoted was demoted to a remote planet as a clerk for a reason!"
…
As pieces of bad news came in, Old Madam Ji and all the nobles who received the news looked at them in horror.
What terrified them even more was that when they gathered the forces to strike against these nobles and capitalists, they discovered something shocking.
——These forces all belong to those five people.
Even the guy who was devoted to research at the institute was caught committing academic misconduct.
The situation is now very clear.
Madam Ji frowned and said through gritted teeth:
“…Go and invite Ye Wangxing!”
When Fang Yun found Ye Wangxing, he was tidying up his workroom at the competition venue and looked like he was about to leave. But the finals were about to begin, so why would he leave at this time?
However, this is not what Fang Yun wanted to inquire about. His only goal today was to persuade Ye Wangxing to appear in front of the nobles and use Ye Wangxing to make those five people end their act of revenge.
But strangely, Ye Wangxing's face revealed a hint of embarrassment.
"...Brother, I know that the nobles do owe you something, but you can't just watch your parents being ostracized by all the nobles. I'm just helping to introduce them. We can discuss other things ourselves later."
Fang Yun said this with a pleading expression, and under this plea, Ye Wangxing finally nodded.
However, there was a hint of helplessness on his face.
"...Actually, I'm planning to break up with them, so I can't help you. I can only take you there and you can discuss it with them yourself."
Ye Wangxing said this with helplessness but also a hint of relief.
Fang Yun: ...
Very spicy!
