They lingered at the Golden Fortress for four months, trying every means possible, but to no avail.
It would be strange if there were any results.
During this time, Di Xiu received a message from the Capital Star Police Department and remembered the two children he had sent home.
The gist of the matter is that the two children were dressed inappropriately, which was detrimental to the image of the star, and they did not have proof of residence. They should have been sent back, but they said that "Major General Shen Yun" brought them here, and there was also surveillance footage showing that they were not smuggled in. That's why they came to ask him with some skepticism.
After a long silence, Di Xiu realized that he had been so focused on improving his strength that he had forgotten about the people after bringing them back. So he transferred some money to the police officer who had contacted him, asking him to buy some clothes for the two children and prepare their residence permits.
Mi Lan refused to accept the money, but Di Xiu had already hung up the video.
Not long after, Di Xiu received a message from an unknown number on his personal computer. First, there was an electronic IOU, with the names Mi Lan and Mi Xue written crookedly on the debtor's side.
Then came a message: This is borrowed, and we will definitely return it to you later.
Emperor Xiu did not reply.
Because there was no result for a long time, the legion's command ordered them to return. They would inevitably be scolded when they went back, so Di Xiu simply ran away, leaving his adjutant to face the storm from above.
He skipped the eldest prince and went straight to the Imperial Military Academy to arrest the second prince; to be precise, he just went to show up in front of him.
Ling Qiushui and Xavier had just finished class. The former was carrying a food box containing interstellar-style Earth cuisine that she had made, and it seemed they were heading to their "secret garden" to share the food.
In this interstellar era where nutrient supplements are rampant, food has become increasingly bland and tasteless, making her dishes a true delight to those who have tasted them. But perhaps she possesses some strange buff, because no one else's version, made using the same steps, tastes as good as hers.
Even so, her restaurant is still booming every day.
As Di Xiu walked towards him, Xavier seemed to sense something, and the moment he looked up, his pupils suddenly contracted.
As they passed each other, Di Xiu caught a glimpse of his violently fluctuating mental energy, and also gained an unexpected bonus.
"Aze, what's wrong? You look terrible." Ling Qiushui noticed his unusual expression and asked with concern.
Xavier turned around, but the person from before was no longer visible. He asked his girlfriend, "Was that Shen Yun just now?"
"Major General Shen? How would I know? I've never even met him. Is there something wrong with him?"
Xavier couldn't help but look back again, releasing his mental energy, but even at his limit, he couldn't find that person.
He shook his head, suppressing his unease, and regained his composure. He affectionately pinched his girlfriend's nose and said, "It's nothing, maybe I just saw it wrong."
"His mental power is at least level ten," Emperor Xiu said confidently.
The main reason is that he hasn't had the chance to encounter a level 10 or higher ability user yet, so he can't make a more accurate comparison, but this Prince Xavier is clearly more powerful than the level 9 lieutenant general he met at the Golden Fortress.
Level 5 and Level 10 are the two major watersheds among mental power users. Neither level can be reached solely based on aptitude. Even the reclusive marshal of the empire only reached the threshold of Level 10 when he was over two hundred years old. Most people spend their entire lives trying to reach Level 10 but never succeed.
The male and female protagonists in the timeline are exceptionally talented, and they only broke through to the next level when the Zerg launched a massive attack. At that time, they should both be around 150 or 160 years old.
A level 10 ability user at the age of 24 is unheard of. There are only two explanations: either he has had his soul replaced like "Shen Yun", or he has been reborn.
Both Emperor Xiu and 001 agreed that it was the latter.
Having confirmed this, Di Xiu lost interest in asking the eldest prince why he had been sent out, which was undoubtedly due to Xavier's interference.
Furthermore, this Xavier was probably reborn from the timeline altered by D.E.S., otherwise his apprehension towards him would be inexplicable.
Since they were already on the capital planet, Di Xiu took the opportunity to go home. Mi Lan had gone from being a skinny frog to a normal frog, but her eyes were still very protruding, indicating that she was not getting enough nutrition. Mi Xue, on the other hand, hadn't changed much; she hadn't gained or lost weight.
The two couldn't find any jobs, and they couldn't even snatch trash from the cleaning robots. They used to make a living by selling their cobbled-together toys.
The capital planet has no shortage of fools with lots of money and peculiar tastes, which is why they survived until the Emperor Xiu returned.
He asked Mi Lan, "The Imperial Military Academy is recruiting new students in two months. Are you going to go?"
Mi Lan quickly waved her hand: "I... I'm not very educated, and I don't have any money."
Emperor Xiu said ruthlessly, "Then how will you repay my money?"
The more developed and prosperous a planet is, the more realistic it is. In the late Old Era, even cleaning required a college degree, let alone now, especially in a place like the capital planet of an empire.
With the birth and development of knowledge implantation technology, primary, secondary and high schools have been abolished on some planets. As for Miran Star, it simply does not have the resources to run schools. It is not an exaggeration for Miran to say that he is uncultured.
Mi Lan held his sister's hand, clenched his teeth tightly, and remained silent for a long time, his eyes filled with struggle. This young man still had his own principles and backbone. It wasn't until Mi Xue cried out in pain that he snapped out of his daze.
He sniffed and asked in a low voice, "Sir, what should I do?"
"Study whatever you want to take the exam for."
The knowledge implantation technology is similar to the method 001 used to transmit memories and world lines to Di Xiu, but he doesn't intend to use it on Mi Lan.
This technology has greatly facilitated human beings, but its drawbacks are also obvious. It has made some people lazy to learn and lazy to think.
Despite repeated prohibitions, in-depth research has been forcibly halted, making it impossible to implant knowledge in a single area. Furthermore, due to resistance from some scholars, the implantation of non-fundamental knowledge is also prohibited.
Another problem is that most people will never use 90% of their knowledge in their lifetime, and this unused knowledge takes up their brain space.
Unless Mi Lan can cultivate her mental abilities to a higher level and further expand her brain, this kind of filling will do more harm than good in the long run.
Mi Lan was unwilling to accept the knowledge implantation technology. The simplest reason was that he didn't have the money and didn't want to borrow money from Di Xiu again. He preferred to study hard and learn on his own. If it didn't work out this year, he could always try again next year.
However, this poor child probably doesn't know that top-tier schools like the Imperial Military Academy never accept repeat students.
As for Michelle, she is still young, has no ideas about the future, and her talents are not yet apparent. Let her enjoy her childhood.
Di Xiu returned to the military base located on the satellite, immersed himself in the training room, and began the gravity-enhanced training.
He hadn't measured his current level, but he estimated that he had long surpassed Xiao Lingchuan's physique back then.
Gravity is adjustable, and Di Xiu wasn't so arrogant as to directly adjust it to the highest level. After gradually adapting, he controlled it at thirty times the gravity. Too much of a good thing is bad, and this is the most suitable intensity at present.
