Chapter 100 The Grand Emperor
They knew their father would do this. He had originally planned for just the two brothers to come, but he changed his mind at the last minute, and now the whole family was on the move.
Seeing their father's impatient back, the two brothers exchanged a helpless glance and hurriedly followed, rushing straight towards their sister.
If they weren't mistaken, the fluffy white thing in their younger sister's arms should be the one called Xiaobai. Watching their sister petting it so happily, their hands couldn't help but itch a little.
"Ancestors, we never expected you to come! It's truly an honor for us! I knew you could help us get rid of these despicable insectoids!"
You all have no idea, but every year a huge amount of military funds are spent to deal with these Zerg. Well, now our ancestors have turned them into food, which is a way of making use of waste!
The entire empire is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Black Beetle Clan! Hahaha! I'm so happy! Oh, and Ancestor, I also brought you some gifts.
Knowing that you were in a time period where there was a shortage of various technological products, and weapons were certainly in short supply, I brought you everything from the warehouse.
And that spaceship, which our empire gave to our ancestor, and the weapons too…”
As soon as the emperor arrived in front of Gu Xinyan and her three companions, he began to chatter on and on, so much so that Gu Xinyan couldn't find a chance to speak. But soon, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.
What? They brought them gifts? All sorts of high-tech products? And all sorts of weapons?
That golden spaceship was also a gift to them? And it was the latest model? But wasn't that the research institute's prized possession? They just gave it to them like that?
My God! What incredible luck they had! Just a few days ago they were lamenting that they hadn't redeemed many items, and today it's like a windfall! And it's all free?!
He's definitely a super-rich person! But wouldn't it be a little embarrassing to accept so many valuable gifts?
Sigh! He's just too charming, I can't resist him. Oh well, since he's so sincere about giving her a gift, she can just give him a bigger one when she gives him a return gift.
"Your Majesty, perhaps you could just call me Boss Gu? 'Old Ancestor' sounds rather awkward. Let's go to the store and sit down to talk this over!"
Gu Xinyan looked at the incessantly talking Emperor and wiped the sweat from her forehead with some embarrassment. Taking advantage of a pause in his speech, she quickly interjected.
After all, there were so many people around, yet the emperor really didn't care at all.
"Alright, alright, let's talk about it at the store!" the emperor replied with a smile.
The more he looked at Gu Xinyan and the other three, the more he liked them. They were truly worthy of being ancestors; these four looked very energetic and must have been among the best on the ancient planet Lan!
With that, the group headed towards the store, leaving behind bewildered and shocked students and soldiers, as well as a group from the StarNet.
After leading everyone to the store's reception room, Gu Xinyan brewed a cup of tea for each of them before sitting down. Looking at His Majesty the Emperor and his entourage, as well as Major General Xi Ze and the academicians, she smiled and said:
"Please try this, everyone. This tea is a specialty of our planet Earth, and it tastes quite good!"
Upon hearing this, everyone picked up their teacups, took a sip, and a faint fragrance spread in their mouths, carrying a hint of sweetness. The tea aroma was so rich that they couldn't help but want to take another sip.
"Good tea, really good tea! The tea from our ancestors is the most authentic! Xi'er, don't you think so? Look at the tea that those old geezers have researched! How can it compare to this!"
Not only is it sour and unpleasant, but it also has a strange taste. And if you criticize them, they're stubborn, insisting that what they cultivated was the ancient Blue Star's Crimson Robe! I don't even want to talk to them!
The emperor praised the deliciousness of the tea while complaining about the guys at the research institute.
Upon hearing this, the Empress glanced at him helplessly. With so many people around, she should at least give those researchers some face.
They had just looted a lot of things from someone else, so they weren't afraid of being stuffed with sacks when they got back.
However, it must be said that the tea in front of her was indeed delicious and unforgettable, making her feel as if she were in the mountains, with the aroma of fresh grass wafting through the air, fresh and natural.
It definitely tastes better than the one produced by the research institute!
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinyan and the other three exchanged smiles, and the others nodded in agreement, also finding the tea to be very delicious!
"I'm glad Your Majesty likes it. I'll pack some for you to take back with you when we return!"
Gu Xinyan said with a smile, "After receiving so many gifts, this return gift can't be stingy. Since His Majesty the Emperor likes to drink tea, then prepare all kinds of tea for him!"
"Then thank you, Ancestor! We came here today for two reasons: first, to bring you gifts, and second, to learn from you."
I'm thinking of mass-producing these Zerg creatures later. I wonder if the ancestor has any recipes for them?
When our ancestors migrated here, they lost the recipes, and even many seeds of natural ingredients. Therefore, the empire still has a significant gap in this area, and the people of the empire rely on nutrient solutions for their daily lives.
However, if they had plenty of fruits, vegetables, and various delicacies, their lives would surely be much better. But these insectoids have very sensitive noses...
Especially for natural ingredients, the annual output is not high. If we can eliminate these insectoids, the production of natural ingredients will increase.
The emperor was even more pleased upon hearing this, but he did not forget the purpose of his visit. After all, there were many kinds of insects, and if they were not eliminated, all the natural food they wanted to grow would be destroyed by these insects.
Now that I know this black beetle tribe can be made into food, it's a great start. I'm not too disappointed about the multi-clawed beetle that can't be eaten, after all, our ancestors also collected them.
Meanwhile, these multi-clawed insects also had other uses. Thinking of this, he took out all the information about the insect race that he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Gu Xinyan and the other three.
"Ancestor, this is the information on all the Zerg here. Can you tell which ones are edible?"
Gu Xinyan no longer wanted to correct this form of address; she had gotten used to it by now anyway.
Curious, she took the pile of papers in front of her, and the first thing that caught her eye was an octopus!
