Chapter 53 Fifty-three Nights
The metamorphosis of the noble descendants and the rich second generation who are ignorant of the world and live a life of drunkenness and debauchery every day on the central star of the imperial capital is a whole wilderness survival story.
"The relationship between Lord Wu Yan and Lord Marshal is better than I imagined."
In the end, Shi Kane still said this, indicating that he was very clear about the relationship between Wu Yan and former Federal Marshal Morris.
"Your Highness, don't you think you know too much?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
In fact, the first person to know this was not Shi Kane, but Kaia, who was always paying attention to gossip and useless information in every corner and came to the conclusion after collecting and analyzing it.
Wu Yan must have received help from Marshal Morris when he was a child. Outsiders don’t know how deep the gratitude was, but when Kane saw Wu Yan actually came to Yun Wanwan for help with Marshal Morris’ illness, he had a definite understanding.
Wu Yan's appreciation for Marshal Morris, and Marshal Morris's trust in Wu Yan, were immediately apparent. Otherwise, why would Wu Yan have taken the opportunity to bring Marshal Morris here, and why would Marshal Morris have followed without objection?
"Why, Your Excellency Wu Yan, do you look like you're worried that I'll start a fight with Your Excellency the Marshal?"
Wu Yan rolled his eyes. Both the Crown Prince and the recuperating Marshal Morris were seriously injured and unable to use their mental strength. Not to mention fighting, even a little emotional instability could cause the injuries to recur.
Wu Yan thought rebelliously that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Marshal combined could not defeat him. He didn't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was showing off in front of him. Wasn't it just because he came alone, while His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had the entire Dandelion Legion behind him?
His Star Pirate Army was still in its infancy, and would certainly not be of any use against the Dandelion Army. If Dark Star was not too far away from the imperial capital and the surrounding environment was not too complicated, it would not be worth the effort to launch an attack on Dark Star. Wu Yan believed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have taken action against Dark Star long ago.
"His Excellency the Marshal is also fooling around with you."
"Nonsense?" Wu Yan laughed immediately. "Isn't it inappropriate for Your Highness to stand here and tell me about nonsense?"
If we talk about nonsense, then the Crown Prince before us is the real troublemaker, isn't he? After all, the Crown Prince's status and position are different from theirs. Marshal Morris's identity is unique, but after twenty years of hiding, he has long since become a legend. His personal status is no longer important. However, the Crown Prince's every move and his safety are related to the entire empire, yet he seems unaware of this and keeps running around all day.
Wu Yan felt that the Crown Prince's injury last time was the result of his wandering around. Otherwise, how could he have fallen into an ambush and been seriously injured? Tsk—Wu Yan, who had never been seriously injured before, puffed out his chest with pride.
His Royal Highness: What is this pirate leader so proud of?
Shi Kaien hadn't planned to leave since arriving. While it wasn't appropriate for the Crown Prince to be away from the Imperial Capital's Central Star for too long, he felt Yun Wanwan's situation was more important. He could understand Wu Yan bringing the former Federation Marshal with him for treatment, but the Crown Prince had a hunch that Wu Yan, the pirate leader, had ulterior motives and was secretly planning something else.
What could there be in the Y4162 star field that the pirate leader covets? Of course, it is only Yun Wanwan's precious property.
Wu Yan's brain circuits were abnormal and could not be judged by conventional thinking. He might have kidnapped Yun Wanwan directly. And considering Yun Wanwan's personality - Shi Kane had a certain understanding of it - Yun Wanwan's curiosity was enough to support her being kidnapped by Wu Yan, not to mention that the former Marshal of the Federation was also here.
Although seriously injured and old, Marshal Morris's personal charm still exists, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has great respect for this legendary figure.
But no matter how much respect he has for me, it cannot be a reason to kidnap the empire's precious talents.
Shi Kane found a very appropriate reason for himself to stay in the Y4162 star field.
"Hmm? Develop the Y4162 star field?" Yun Wanwan didn't quite understand Shi Kaien's suggestion. "What's so worth developing in this place?"
Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's economic acumen blocked?
"It's not impossible." Shi Kaien directly sent the plan to Yun Wanwan, "Even though it's a garbage planet, there are still many plans that can be used."
After reading the Crown Prince's plan, Yun Wanwan was furious. "Does the Crown Prince have a grudge against these people?"
"Don't you think this is a good arrangement?"
Rather than being an exploration of the Y4162 star field, His Royal Highness's plan is more of a transformation of the ignorant descendants of nobles and the second generation of the rich who live a life of drunkenness and debauchery on the central star of the imperial capital. It's a whole survival story in the wilderness.
"Rather than throwing them onto some unknown junk planet, the Y4162 star field is much safer."
Yun Wanwan's main influence is on the companion star in the Y4162 star field, which is the small planet she named "Wanxing". Her influence on the main star is not great, but Shi Kane believes that as long as Yun Wanwan is willing, the main star will also be her world. She has such charm and such strength.
Hearing Shi Kaien's words, Yun Wanwan was overjoyed. "Your Highness the Crown Prince is not going to develop the Y4162 star field, but my surplus value, right?"
The key to executing the plan, that is, to convince the nobles and wealthy to hand over their beloved heirs to be retrained by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is to allow them to receive training without being too dangerous.
Mutated animals and plants were beyond the reach of ordinary people. Clearing out planetary dangers and establishing bases suitable for human survival were the Legion's responsibilities. While many adventurers roamed the various planets, risking their lives to seize various resources, these were small-scale operations that did not significantly impact the planets as a whole.
"Live broadcast? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only wants those young masters and young ladies to survive in the wilderness, but also wants them to die in public?"
Yun Wanwan looked at Shi Kaien with an expression that said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has such a cruel heart."
"It's not like I'll be socially disastrous, but as the Crown Prince of the Empire, I still need to make these people face reality."
Possessing the empire's most top-tier resources, but raising a group of unproductive waste, this is what Shi Kane absolutely does not want to see. As for talents, he doesn't have much hope. Whether these people can eventually grow into his assistants is secondary. The greatest blessing is that they will not become a stumbling block to him in the future.
"Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's expectations of them are too low."
These young people of extraordinary backgrounds do enjoy the empire's best resources, and their own blood talents are also superior, but most of them are content with the status quo and are accustomed to enjoying themselves, not only wasting their own talents, but also wasting countless resources.
Compared to the young men like Qiao Mai, whom he had met once before in the Y4162 star field, who were not only idle and did not work, Shi Kane's target list contained more "talents" who posed a certain threat to the stability of the imperial capital.
These "talents" themselves have certain strengths, but they are not used in the right way. In the long run, they will be a huge hidden danger to the imperial capital.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is always prepared for danger, got the inspiration from somewhere and came up with such a plan. If it weren't for the need to borrow the Y4162 star field, which is her territory, Yun Wanwan thought this plan was actually quite good.
As for how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to fool those people, that was not her concern.
"That's fine on my end, but live streaming also requires traffic. Your Highness, please remember to pay the venue usage fee on time. Oh, and if you need any guest appearances, you'll also need to pay them."
"Certain" friendly guest appearances are also an important part of Shi Kane's plan. In order to achieve the purpose of "training", Shi Kane wants to use the mutant plants and animals that Yun Wanwan can control to give these "talents" some harmless lessons.
Anyway, as long as the injury is not life-threatening, the treatment cabin can handle any injury, big or small.
"Just discuss the details with Josh. He knows everything."
"Is Wanwan busy lately?"
Shi Kane knew that Yun Wanwan had been busy treating Marshal Morris recently, but he also knew that Yun Wanwan's treatment did not require daily supervision. After all, with injuries like theirs, if there was a sudden and drastic deterioration, Yun Wanwan would not be able to change her fate, so most of the time he was just stabilizing the injuries bit by bit and making subtle repairs to the cracks in her sea of consciousness.
It was so subtle that even the diagnosis and treatment cabin could not detect it. Even Shi Kane himself only noticed it after his injuries stabilized and he understood the concept of spiritual power.
"It's true that there's something." Yun Wanwan tilted her head to look at Shi Kaien, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is curious?"
Looks very idle.
Shi Kaien smiled and said, "I'm very curious about everything about Wanwan."
He knew very well that some of Yun Wanwan's seemingly unintentional actions might have a significant impact on the future of the empire or the entire world.
"Then come and see it together."
Yun Wanwan also understood Shi Kaien's desire to change the world. She knew that Shi Kaien's help would be needed for many future matters, and she had no intention of hiding it from him. The power that His Royal Highness could bring was far greater than what she possessed herself.
Wu Yan is still waiting in line far behind!
Wu Yan: A-choo!
Shi Kaien thought that Yun Wanwan would take him to some other place, such as the mysterious little pond where she witnessed the sapling with her own eyes. However, Yun Wanwan's destination was behind her small yard.
"This is……"
If he hadn't made sure that he hadn't missed anything, when Shi Kane saw the huge mutant plant behind the small courtyard, he would have mistakenly thought that he hadn't been to the Y4162 star field for too long, which was why there was such a huge change.
"Where did you transplant it from?"
Shi Kaien could only make the most reasonable guess, because he felt a huge pressure from this mutant plant. Although it was immature, it had infinite possibilities. Even the devil vine that had always been with Yun Wanwan and could whip anyone could not bring such pressure to Shi Kaien.
There are such creatures in the Y4162 star field, and he hadn't discovered them before?
Yun Wanwan blinked. How could she explain to Shi Kaien that this two-meter-tall plant—a slender stem with broad leaves, a huge flower bud that seemed to be weighing it down—was actually cultivated by her own hands? It was the only one of those mushroom seeds that had survived and successfully germinated under her spiritual energy, a small bean sprout that had taken up residence on her head for a while.
After being buried, it unexpectedly developed a big move. At first, its growth was so slow that Yun Wanwan thought something was wrong with it. But in just three days, it seemed to have completed the most difficult journey of its life and grew into this.
Little Bean Sprout is a treacherous person. In order to break out of the shell, he initially took a lot of spiritual energy from Yun Wanwan. This time, his uncontrolled growth directly drained Yun Wanwan.
Of course, after the little bean sprout grew up, the spiritual power it fed back to Yun Wanwan allowed her to directly break through to the great perfection of Qi Refining. Now, all she needs is an opportunity to build her foundation.
It’s a pity that it’s not the time to build the foundation.
Shi Kane fell into deep thought as he looked at the plant in front of him. This thing didn't seem unfamiliar?
