Xavier escorted Ling Qiushui to her dormitory building, restrainedly kissed her forehead, and watched her go inside before turning to leave. His face still wore a gentle smile, but his eyes were filled with a gloomy and murderous aura.
"Shen Yun...I will kill you."
Thanks to the world's advanced technology, 001 felt his eyes light up again. He scratched his head, slightly puzzled: "This situation, this hatred, did you kill him later?"
He just wanted to ask someone and didn't expect to get a real answer, but Di Xiu still chimed in to avoid embarrassing him: "Given his current state, I will definitely kill him in this lifetime."
001 chuckled, pointing at Xavier who was on the phone trying to trip up Di Xiu, and said, "You and Xavier have the same lines. But he's been reborn, doesn't he know your strength? Who gave him the confidence to kill you?"
"Perhaps he overestimated himself and underestimated me."
"That's possible. You haven't had a chance to show your abilities since joining the Legion. By the way, Xavier wants to get you, to frame you. Should I stop him?"
"Go ahead and play."
"Hehe, then I'll go all out."
Emperor Xiu responded with a sound of agreement, and then remained silent for a long time.
He completed two sets of body-training techniques under the gravitational field, fine beads of sweat appearing on his body. Every inch of his muscles trembled slightly as the energy was tempered. This process was actually quite uncomfortable. At the lower levels, it felt like being bitten by a thousand ants, and at the higher levels, it would turn into pain.
As the level of the enhancer increases, the energy introduced during body tempering increases exponentially, or rather, the difficulty of the transformation also increases dramatically. Perhaps this is some kind of rule in this world, designed to highlight the difficulty and suffering of the protagonist's dual cultivation of enhanced abilities?
Di Xiu stopped to rest for a while. He had lost too much energy, so he drank a bottle of nutrient solution and replenished his fluids.
His gaze shifted, and he saw 001 staring at the virtual screen with an evil expression, its short fingers trembling rapidly as if simulating keyboard input, occasionally humming smugly, its rich emotions making him feel ashamed of himself.
"First, could you compile a list of knowledge about this world for me?" he suddenly asked.
001's hands were still operating the device, but her head turned to look at him, her face again showing a soft and innocent expression: "Sure, when do you want it?"
"20 days later."
001 took a moment out of her busy schedule to give an OK sign with her hand.
Collecting information was not difficult for 001; he set up a program to download all information along the StarNet and continue to sabotage Xavier.
In any world, reputation is an invisible knife. As the second prince of the Alpha Empire and the protagonist, Xavier has a lot of connections and power. If he wanted to get a major general, even if that person was his elder brother's subordinate, it would be a piece of cake.
A major general with a tarnished reputation has basically reached the end of his career in the First Legion. If the stain isn't so big, he might be able to stay in the legion, but most of the time he will be transferred to other legions.
Soldiers with double A aptitude are rare, but not unique. Even double S aptitude soldiers are known to number only three in the entire universe.
If it's a crime like smuggling or drug trafficking, that's serious. It could mean being stripped of political rights for life, having your name permanently recorded on the StarNet, being imprisoned on a desolate planet for life, or being forced to mine. Some unprocessed ores are radioactive, even robots can't withstand them.
Regardless of the type, it would be a fatal blow to a soldier full of passion who takes it upon himself to eliminate the Zerg.
Xavier fabricated a charge against "Shen Yun" as colluding with space pirates, which was extremely damaging and went straight to the level of treason.
According to imperial law, this would be an additional charge of smuggling, plus the injection of a gene-destroying agent to damage the brain—meaning to disable all abilities—and then publicly reveal the memories—essentially a soul search.
However, Xavier certainly wouldn't dare let "Shen Yun" suffer this last punishment.
Of course, 001 wouldn't just watch him succeed. In worlds without advanced technology, he could only watch helplessly as his own mission takers took matters into their own hands. But with such favorable conditions, 001 was determined to teach this imperial prince a lesson.
In the realm of the internet, even if the male and female leads have the combined halo of fame, they can't possibly surpass him, 001.
Besides, he has solid evidence in his hands.
He lamented that Xavier, a perfectly good protagonist, had to keep courting death, while simultaneously intercepting his chat signals with a hacker, playing both sides.
The hacker and Xavier were online friends. This time, Xavier did not reveal his identity or say that he was framing someone. Instead, he pretended to be distressed that he had accidentally discovered a certain truth but dared not make it public. He hoped that this righteous hacker could keep this evidence, which could cost him his life at any time.
As for whether the hacker might discover that the video evidence he obtained is fake, 001 can confidently guarantee that what he produces is absolutely indistinguishable from the real thing.
Xavier's own creations were destroyed by him; they were so crudely made that they were unrecognizable. If the hacker believed them, he was probably blinded by the protagonist's halo.
Xavier and the hacker reached an agreement with 001 and stopped chatting, satisfied. 001 then set up another signal monitoring system to ensure they wouldn't have a chance to discover anything before the surprise arrived.
After resolving this matter, 001 glanced at the diligent Emperor Cultivator, temporarily suppressing his desire to show off, and went to sort out the collected knowledge and store it separately.
With nothing to do, he began to speculate about the situation in this world.
The main storyline is still romance, and it's quite formulaic. However, since it's within his familiar territory, it's not too difficult to deduce.
Xavier was not within the scope of this mission of Emperor Xiu, so he certainly wouldn't go looking for trouble for no reason. How the feud between the two started is worth investigating.
They are of different ages, and their appearances and color schemes are very similar to their parents, so we can rule out the real and fake princes.
He is still very good to Ling Qiushui, except that Ling Qiushui has fallen in love with "Shen Yun", which makes him jealous and angry.
Emperor Xiu did not want to get involved in the royal family's internal strife, and it was impossible for him to deal with the second prince just because the eldest prince ordered him to, so he continued to exclude him.
I only found a possibility after the CPU overheated, and I felt it was quite convincing.
He saw that Di Xiu was about to enter the recovery pod to rest, so he leaned over and lay down on the closed transparent cover, saying in a serious tone, "I think he might be jealous of your strength."
New nutrient repair fluid was being injected into the recovery chamber. Di Xiu opened his eyes wearily and gave him a look, signaling him to continue.
"When the timeline ended, he was already stronger than a marshal and had defeated the strongest person in the Star River Alliance, becoming the strongest in the entire universe. Looking back, he had never been defeated. Little Xiu Xiu, do you think it's possible that he lost to you and is jealous of you?"
Di Xiu frowned slightly, but did not quite agree: "Judging from his previous actions, although they were despicable, he can still be considered a shrewd and capable man. He was able to tolerate and recruit the eldest prince's subordinates, and he would not be jealous over such a trivial matter."
"Little Xiu Xiu, you haven't seen enough. Some protagonists have smooth sailing and are naturally happy to be bright and glorious, but once they encounter setbacks, they go out of character. This is very common."
