Chapter 67
Just when Elena and Ye Bai were shocked by Admiral Otas, Ye Wangxing was also shocked by Yijiu in the system space.
[——Yijiu, where on earth did you find that necklace?!]
Ye Wangxing's expression twisted into a cry like in a famous painting, and he shouted at Yijiu.
Think about the scene at that time. The protagonist was asked with an indescribable expression whether he was coerced to play that game with his ex-boyfriend.
At that time, he didn't understand what kind of game it was or what the gift was - until the protagonist said that he knew the necklace was a synesthesia necklace.
Ye Wangxing, who hadn’t reacted yet, said: …
Ye Wangxing reacted:!!!
In the end, he didn't know how he calmed Ye Bai down. When he came to his senses, he was already in the system space.
He originally thought that the necklace was just a little interest between the two of them set up in the script, but he didn't expect that this interest was not the same as that!
And how on earth did Yijiu find that thing? Ye Wangxing had no idea that such a thing existed in the interstellar age!
When Ye Wangxing thought about the disgusting comments in the comment section of the necklace, he felt like his face was about to burn.
And he! He actually wore that necklace and acted in front of the protagonist!
Ye Wangxing was about to faint.
Although this old antique from Earth knew that there were similar things in various novels, he really didn't know that this thing was actually produced in the interstellar age!
Haven’t the interstellar people ever considered how much harm this kind of thing would bring to the antiques!
Because of the huge impact, Ye Wangxing's thoughts were in chaos.
Yijiu looked at the host in front of him, whose face was as red as a tomato, and spoke with a calm expression.
[Host, this necklace is consistently ranked in the top three on the interstellar rankings. The remaining ones are a bit too sentimental and don't fit your requirements, so I chose this one. Is there something wrong with my understanding? Sorry, host, I will update the requirements library in a timely manner.]
Yijiu's voice was very calm, as if it was not a big deal. As Ye Wangxing listened to Yijiu's calm tone, he began to wonder if he was making a big deal out of nothing.
After all, it's just a mission world, a small mistake can be completely forgiven, and even sex toys are not really a big mistake. To the system, they are probably just ordinary things.
Thinking of this, Ye Wangxing slowly calmed down, and even his face was not as red as before.
Yijiu's apology made Ye Wangxing feel a little guilty after he calmed down.
"Actually, there wasn't much loss. At most, my company suffered a bit of a loss, but judging by the outcome, it's still a question of who lost face—after all, it was Count Uno who gave this necklace to someone."
After hearing what Ye Wangxing said, Yijiu came to Ye Wangxing and said with an expressionless face but an apologetic look in his eyes.
[I'm sorry, host. I didn't understand your intention at the time and made a decision on my own.]
[No, no, no, I didn't explain it clearly at the beginning. Chinese words with multiple meanings are really hard to understand. It's not your fault, and the effect is actually quite good.]
【Host, this is my responsibility.】
…
The one and only one person in the system space apologized to each other like a perpetual motion machine.
Fortunately, it didn't last long. Ye Wangxing realized that this was really stupid and quickly stopped this stupid behavior.
[Alright, alright, let's not apologize to each other. This incident won't have much of an impact on the plot. Instead, it will enhance the character's characterization. Nineteen, you might encounter meaningful glances from others while you're acting.]
Ye Wangxing, with a smile on his face, patted Yijiu's shoulder and said, thinking back to his silly behavior with Yijiu just now, Ye Wangxing himself felt a little funny.
[I understand, host. After the scandal spreads, those who know the truth will most likely feel envy or shock towards Count Uno due to his unusual behavior. However, this can be exploited, for example, when trying to gain attention—]
Yijiu was interrupted by his host halfway through his calm analysis.
[No, no, this is absolutely not allowed! Even Yijiu can't pass the review!]
Ye Wangxing almost jumped up. Why didn't he think that Yijiu was a system, and a system had no restrictions or shame in this regard.
——But Ye Wangxing has it!
He is a normal human being, not a guy from a banned website. This kind of behavior to attract attention is absolutely not acceptable!
Besides...
[19. Let them speculate vaguely to attract their attention. If everything is revealed all at once, the gossip will not be very attractive to them.]
Ye Wangxing said seriously.
Yijiu looked at his host, whose black eyes were full of seriousness, and nodded silently, engraving the host's words firmly in his heart.
Humans are curious about and drawn to things that are half-hidden... right?
Several strings of data codes flashed in Yijiu's drooping golden eyes.
Ye Wangxing didn't notice what information Yijiu was feeding him. After he finished speaking, he started to get back to business.
The previous gossip had already spread, and the attention had been snatched away by Ye Wangxing. However, Ye Wangxing had never come into contact with this poverty alleviation project in this world.
But fortunately, he had actually come into contact with it in his original world - who among those who passed the exam didn't memorize the current political news related to poverty alleviation and the study materials issued?
However, he didn't know whether the poverty alleviation methods that were useful in his world would be useful in the interstellar world. He still had to listen to the guidance of the officials in this world.
[As expected, poverty alleviation is a top priority in any world. However, poverty alleviation in the interstellar era is truly different from ours...]
Ye Wangxing looked at the welfare benefits given to the poor and silently shed tears of envy.
After arranging the general direction of the next poverty alleviation project, Ye Wangxing also began to summarize the current situation of the protagonists.
However, one would not know until he summarized it. Once he summarized Ye Bai's changes, Ye Wangxing was a little surprised.
After this mission, Ye Bai seemed to have sobered up a bit. It seems the control group tactic was effective, especially since Warden himself wasn't a particularly good male lead. This kind of plot could be added to the subsequent scripts.
Ye Wangxing said this with some joy, it seemed that Ye Bai could be saved.
But when I turned around and saw the protagonist attack...
[Host, the Emperor's decision is correct. It's really not suitable for the protagonist to have normal human employees under him. This is a kind of mental torture for those human employees.]
Yijiu said this calmly, while Ye Wangxing looked at Warden's behavior with some gritted teeth.
[This guy's behavior is exactly like the boss I met during my internship.]
Ye Wangxing felt a little nauseous when he thought of that guy, and his anger began to rise.
When I joined, headquarters was also selecting employees based on performance. This guy came to torment us clerks every day! He lectured us daily, and all he said was nonsense. He also demanded we work overtime, even at the risk of sudden death. He was threatening to pave the way for his career with the lives of the entire department.
This is also why Ye Wangxing was determined to take the civil service exam - but he still had to work overtime after passing the exam.
The salary has just increased a little, but I can't even get a permanent job.
Thinking about this situation, Ye Wangxing felt more motivated to complete the task.
——He is about to be promoted to a regular position!
Yijiu was confused: ...Why is the host suddenly so emotional?
Ye Wangxing didn't notice what Yijiu was thinking, and was still trying his best to analyze the original plot.
...But the more I read, the angrier I get.
[…In other words, in the original novel, he had Ye Bai's guidance, and his mother, the Emperor, strongly urged him to obey Ye Bai. This allowed him to develop the ability to govern and successfully inherit the throne. Otherwise, it's unclear whether Woden, with his arrogant personality, could have successfully inherited the throne.]
[Honestly, I really have to give Ye Bai a thumbs up for not letting his empire collapse in the original novel.]
Ye Wangxing complained.
Ye Bai, too. Woden opened up to him with just a few words, and was so self-sacrificing. Could it be that he has the same problem as Anyang? But Ye Bai is pretty normal in other things, isn't he?
Ye Wangxing was really confused. He originally thought that Ye Bai was a love-brained person, but after actually interacting with Ye Bai, he found that he cared about his relatives more than Warden sometimes. Once it didn't involve his relatives, his brain seemed to have lost its mind.
He self-sacrificed himself to help Warden rise to power, but was immediately abandoned. However, he continued to devote himself without regrets until his family members died tragically.
——If it weren’t for the advanced medical technology in the interstellar era, Ye Wangxing would have doubted the original plot that happened to Anyang, and he could have experienced it himself.
He originally thought that Ye Bai, like Anyang, lacked recognition from others, so he specially brought him to participate in this poverty alleviation project. If he could accept recognition from others like Anyang, he might become more normal.
but……
Ye Bai just did his job, and actually received a lot of praise from people, which he happily accepted.
But as soon as Warden spoke, he ran over happily again, which was completely different from Anyang.
Now Ye Wangxing finally understood why it was said that the difficulty of this world had increased.
——Ye Bai’s love-brained situation is completely different from Anyang’s!
If he wasn't careful, Ye Bai would really be humiliated by Warden!
[Host, according to medical analysis, Ye Bai does not have any mental illness; on the contrary, his mental state is quite healthy—he probably just enjoys this kind of self-sacrifice. Furthermore, Ye Bai has invested too much in Woden, and the sunk costs make it difficult for him to extricate himself now.]
Yijiu said.
When Ye Wangxing heard Yijiu's words, he also sighed. After all, we cannot force everyone to be like the male and female protagonists in novels, who make decisions immediately and without any hesitation. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as a tangled mess.
[Alas, now we can only carry out the mission step by step. However, between missions, we can let those four hang around Ye Bai a few more times to see if these control groups can stimulate Ye Bai to become more normal.]
Ye Wangxing said, opened the task panel, and added casually.
[Just don't let Ye Bai learn bad habits from them—By the way, this kind of control freak character who places surveillance cameras on people appears quite often, doesn't it?]
Yijiu, who was just recording the host's emotional fluctuations: ...
Did the host discover something?
Ye Wangxing did not notice Yijiu's stiffness, but checked the mission target again.

This abundant wealth made Ye Wangxing feel much more at ease when he realized that he had to go back. However, when he saw the name of the mission, Ye Wangxing was speechless.
[Although I usually see a lot of weird people in the mediation room, but this couple...even if my dad were here, he'd definitely rank them in the top 20.]
"Only the top twenty?" Yijiu, realizing the host hadn't noticed, put down the overheated CPU and asked in confusion.
You greatly underestimate the weirdness of human beings.
Ye Wangxing said in a vicissitudes of life tone.
His father had also encountered such things as being hit in the face with a sanitary napkin and being covered in shit while trying to break up a fight.
There was even a case where the brother's girlfriend broke up with him and the sister-in-law bought furniture for him.
Hearing the host's casual description of these things, Yijiu said: [...Host, your father has had a really hard time.]
Ye Wangxing nodded seriously.
After recalling the events that had had a huge impact on his young mind in those years, Ye Wangxing also regained his composure. After all, after experiencing so many events, Ye Bai's incident was not a big deal.
——After all, Ye Bai wouldn’t play with that kind of thing without sanitary napkins.
Thinking of this, Ye Wangxing felt more motivated.
Ye Bai also felt the efforts of his elder brother. During this period, he not only improved the various mechanisms of the platform to perfection, but also took the initiative to contact other departments to see if he could carry out some other cooperation on the basis of the original cooperation.
For example, live broadcasts.
Of course, who will do the live broadcast and the content of the live broadcast still need to be discussed.
However, due to the principle of confidentiality, holographic images cannot be used in these government departments or office spaces, so Ye Wangxing can only go to these places himself.
Of course he also tried to avoid dealing with his ex-boyfriends, so he brought Worden with him.
"With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince communicating with them, they won't be disrespectful to His Royal Highness, right?"
Ye Bai heard his brother say innocently.
And to some extent, Warden did play a role, but...
There's something not quite right about the way it works.
Ye Bai watched as Warden knocked on the door twice again and then walked in. When he saw his elder brother in the office, his expression immediately darkened.
"Mr. Ye, I think I should be the one to discuss things with Count Uno this time, right?"
Warden said this with gritted teeth, completely unaware that it was Count Uno who had his hand on the back of Ye Wangxing's neck, and in terms of the host and guest seats, it was Count Uno who took the initiative to sit on the guest side.
He was still speaking righteously.
"Excuse me, why are you here and so close to Count Uno?!"
Ye Bai sighed deeply once again, watching his elder brother jump out of Count Uno's arms like a rescued rabbit and leave the scene without saying a word.
He was happy for his elder brother at first, but then looking at Warden, Ye Bai became doubtful again.
Originally, he thought that Woden was too proud to learn these things, but now...
Ye Bai watched as Woden chased Ye Wangxing away, and then proudly introduced the project information to the expressionless Count Uno...
Ye Bai began to doubt whether Woden had noticed that Count Uno was so angry that he was about to hit someone.
Worden didn't notice.
In fact, he was still proud of himself for finally achieving a breakthrough from zero.
He had been in the office all this time, listening to how much information the AI group found for him, and the most he could do was organize all the information into a report.
But no matter how brilliantly and colorfully he wrote those reports, and no matter how wonderful the plans he attached to them were, he never received a response. Instead, the reports he received came back with an extra request.
——Ask him to release all the original documents he has compiled.
This hurt Worden's pride.
Don’t they see how brilliant those reports are?
How could they choose to deny his ideas?
He is the prince!
However, whenever he said this, his sharp-tongued cousin would always appear at the right moment to attack him.
"So what if you're the crown prince? And your aunt is the emperor? It won't stop her from humbly accepting the ministers' advice!"
Elina proudly held up the team report and said to him, "If you're not good at it, practice more. If you can't afford to lose, don't play. You're worse than me, a guy who played shoddily the entire time and didn't even read the report."
Now Warden was really irritated. If he hadn't been concerned about the fact that Elena's biological mother and his own biological mother would not let him off easily if they fought, Warden would have immediately let Elena see what strength was.
But unfortunately, his strength was not demonstrated, and he was even criticized by the project leader at the progress meeting.
Warden decided at that time that he would fire the Deputy Minister of Finance after he ascended the throne.
He had never suffered such a great humiliation since he was a child.
He also decided to avenge his previous shame and he must do something big to wash away the shame on him.
What he didn't expect was that Ye Wangxing, Ye Bai's brother and the platform contact person, actually asked him to come over to discuss the next platform matters.
At that time, Warden thought that Ye Wangxing was probably trying to take advantage of him, but seeing that Ye Wangxing still appreciated his talent, Warden didn't intend to bother with him.
After all, he is Ye Bai's brother, so he has to give Ye Bai some face, right?
——Then he put on something almost like a formal dress and went to various docking departments.
He planned to show off his talents in front of the guys from the docking department, and once his plan was adopted, he would slap Alina and the person in charge in the face.
However, what Warden didn't expect was that Ye Wangxing, whom he had admired very much, actually stole the credit from him at this juncture. It turned out that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
God knows how unbelievable Warden was when he saw Ye Wangxing being held in the arms of Count Uno. He originally thought that he was a mentor who admired him, but he didn't expect that he was a guy who planned to step on him to get to the top.
Fortunately, after driving Ye Wangxing away, Warden gave Count Uno a wonderful report, which made Count Uno laugh and applaud him continuously.
Even Count Uno recommended that he follow Ye Wangxing to try with other people.
"...Your Highness, I think this plan is very good. Unfortunately, my words alone won't be very effective. Your Highness needs to go to other departments. As long as you convince them, your plan will be implemented perfectly."
Count Uno was even smiling when he said this, and Woden did not hear the gnashing of teeth in Count Uno's words.
Instead, he sighed and realized that Count Uno was indeed his mentor.
At this time, Warden, who was praised, finally came to his senses and did not order Ye Wangxing to take him to other departments as soon as he went out. After all, what if Ye Wangxing took the credit from him?
He just went straight to find people when Ye Wangxing took him to other departments, and then made a report to them.
However, it was only after this incident that Warden finally confirmed that Ye Wangxing just wanted to steal his credit.
——After all, every time he opened the door, Ye Wangxing was very close to those in charge.
Worden told this to his friends with an indignant look on his face.
"...It's hard to imagine that someone as focused as Ye Bai actually has a brother who will do anything to succeed."
Woden, who was talking excitedly, didn't notice the hesitant expressions on his friends' faces.
"Whether it was Admiral Otas or my uncle, he didn't even let Semos go. God knows Semos's face was red with anger when I walked in!"
Friends: ...Is it possible that it wasn’t because Ye Wangxing was angry?
Warden obviously didn't notice that after he denounced Ye Wangxing's behavior, he spoke to his friends with a little pride.
"Fortunately, I've earned their approval thanks to my abilities. Tomorrow is the project presentation, and I'm about to take on a very important position. Congratulations, everyone! My mother will regret her mistake!"
Worden raised his glass, drank it all and left the scene.
His friends were looking at him from behind and whispered.
"--Did you say he knew that Ye Wangxing's four ex-boyfriends were the ones he said admired him?"
The other friends all shook their heads.
They looked at each other, then raised their glasses at the same time and said, "I wish His Royal Highness the Crown Prince all the best."
Don't be bullied.
But obviously this is impossible.
The next day, at the report meeting.
As the people on the scene agreed, Worden let out a sharp crackle.
"——You let me, the Crown Prince, go to the live broadcast room to be the live broadcast host!"
