Chapter 133 The Little Cotton-padded Jacket's Call
The emperor, who was working in the palace, was interrupted by the sound of "beep! beep! beep!"
A huge screen suddenly popped up in mid-air in front of him, and in the next instant, a group of people appeared on the screen.
Just as he was in a daze, he heard his little girl's familiar voice, which made him instantly grit his teeth.
Looking at the little girl in the drafty coat on the screen, grinning at him, he was speechless.
The seemingly drafty little cotton-padded jacket became much more lively after visiting the ancestral temple!
"Father, what are you daydreaming about? Aren't you happy or surprised to see me? I've missed you all so much, Father. But let me tell you, there's so much delicious food here!"
It tastes so much better than the nutrient solution in our empire! I've been here for so long, and I haven't even finished exploring one city yet. Father, you have no idea…
Miler happily told her father in the video about her experiences over the past few days; she has a strong urge to confide in him now.
emperor:"........."
Okay! It's confirmed. This little girl is indeed a leaky little cotton-padded jacket. She's only just met her and she's already showing off her whole body. Doesn't she know that her old father is still drinking nutrient solution in the Empire?
Oh no! At least the diet has improved now. Not only do we get extra meals from the Zerg from time to time, but we also get all sorts of fruits and vegetables from our ancestors, all of which are pure, natural ingredients.
Moreover, since the recipes were introduced, the chefs in the palace have made rapid progress in their culinary skills, and they naturally enjoy the benefits.
Although that's what I said, hearing this little girl bragging about it made me feel inexplicably jealous.
Waaah... Seriously, he really wants to go to the ancestor's territory too. This lousy spot is no good, let whoever wants to sit here can sit here. He really wants to go play with his little darling!
"Father, I'm going to visit other cities tomorrow! Hehe, I'll bring you back some local specialties!"
"Oh, right, Father, I bought some local specialties for you in the capital. They're all at Sister Gu's place. When you're doing your trade in a few days, I'll have Sister Gu bring them to you."
Milair was completely oblivious to the dark expression on her father's face on the other end of the video call, and continued talking to herself.
When the emperor heard that his youngest daughter had bought them local specialties, his earlier indifference changed instantly.
Sure enough, a leaky cotton-padded jacket can still be used after being mended. Look, she's having fun, but she's still thinking about her elderly father who's left behind at home.
"Oh, my good daughter, not bad, not bad. If your mother knew, she would be very happy. She was just talking about you this morning, and I didn't expect you to contact me tonight."
"It's just that your mother, your eldest brother, and your second brother aren't here right now. Otherwise, they would be overjoyed to see you. But don't worry, I've already sent someone to fetch them." The emperor replied happily.
After witnessing the father and daughter's interaction throughout the video, the group fell silent, especially after seeing the emperor's undisguised expression of disgust in the video.
Upon hearing Milair mention that he had bought them local specialties, their expressions changed instantly. Truly befitting an emperor, their ability to change their tune was beyond their comprehension.
After the emperor finished speaking, he stopped nagging his little darling and looked at Gu Xinyan and the others beside him. After all, he had understood the meaning behind his little darling's words; she probably wanted to make a deal with him.
Perfect timing! He was also worried about running out of seasonings and natural ingredients. After all, these had become consumables since the Zerg came to market, and the Empire already had plenty of them.
Now, with other empires wanting to cooperate with him, he had initially been holding back from agreeing, but now he might consider it. After all, these are all money, and there's no reason for him to refuse something offered to him!
So he spoke first: "Ancestor, I was just thinking about you all, I never expected that my wish would come true like this."
"Haha, Your Majesty, it just so happens that Xiaobai has set up the internal trading platform. From now on, we can trade online once a month."
We can call each other ten days in advance before the deal. During that call, we can make a list of everything we each need, giving us ten days to prepare. Also, Your Majesty, Milair is with us, so you can rest assured.
We'll take good care of her. Next time we go to interstellar space, we'll send her back then, but she'll probably stay with us for the time being.
Gu Xinyan gave a brief explanation of online transactions, and then started talking about Milair.
After all, this guy came here with Xiaobai without saying a word, so he must have assured the old man that he could entrust his daughter to them with peace of mind.
Upon hearing this, the emperor smiled and waved his hand. He wasn't worried about his little darling. If they were going to other places, he might be more concerned.
But since his little darling was going to the ancestor's territory, he wasn't worried at all and wished he could go with her.
However, he was still pleasantly surprised by this once-a-month online transaction, since many things are consumed too quickly.
The research institute is also not very helpful, which means that it only dares to sell to a small number of domestic markets and does not dare to sell to other empires at all. Now that's good, if transactions are conducted once a month, these problems will be solved.
Star coins flowed into the national treasury in a flash, hehe! Ever since the ancestors arrived, his country has become rich.
In the past, he had to spend a large sum of Star Coins every year to deal with these Zerg, and he also had to allocate a large amount of money to the military. Now, not only has he reduced his Star Coin expenditure by a large amount, but these Zerg have gone from burning money to generating money, which makes him extremely happy.
"Alright, alright, I'll arrange for someone to prepare right away. Ancestor, this time we want to trade a batch of seasonings, natural ingredients, and... that's all for now. If we think of anything else we're missing, we can trade it next time."
Overwhelmed with excitement, the emperor recited a whole host of things he had been thinking about day and night. There were others, but he couldn't remember them all.
Fortunately, they can now trade with the ancestor once a month. After this transaction, they can carefully plan what to trade next.
Gu Xinyan nodded upon hearing this, after all, this was the first time making an online transaction, so it was bound to be a bit rushed.
The store has everything the emperor wants. They're going back tomorrow anyway, so they can just tell Commander Zhang and the others to prepare extra.
