Chapter 12 Dark Play
*
The confused brown-haired girl obeyed her inner desire and stood up...
She opened the terminal's life interface again, searching with her ten fingers... She faithfully obeyed her inner desire... She clicked the "Bubble Bath" button! When the light screen on the interface flashed and "Confirm payment of 1,000 points" appeared... Su Xi blinked!
What is she doing?
There was a hint of confusion in the amber eyes...
At this moment, the intercom ring rang, interrupting her confused thoughts. After answering, Fitzgerald's voice came.
"Are you okay?"
"Hmm?" Su Xi was a little confused, "Everything is fine."
There was a pause, then the other person said, "We have one hour and fifty minutes to reach the jump point. Remember to enter the hibernation module on time."
"OK."
"Um."
After that, the two of them were silent. It seemed that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.
Su Xi suddenly panicked, "Your Highness, I will log out of the call first."
"good."
Su Bai's fingers clicked the exit button in a panic. After a moment of stunned silence, Su Xi suddenly covered her face with her hands and sighed!
"I...what am I doing! It's over!"
As for what was over, only she knew.
*
Afterwards, she simply took off her virtual helmet, turned off the holographic three-dimensional model demonstration of the Sun Devourer, and disconnected from the main ship's intelligent computer 'Xingyue' system.
Su Xi stood up and moved around a bit, then took off the white jade and green-patterned 'pebble' plutonium jade chip hanging around her neck. After matching the plug-in, it became her own personal terminal. She downloaded all the information she had searched with the help of the UFO AI in the past few times to this new terminal, then opened the previously organized file package named 'Naya', flipped to the previously marked legal provisions, and searched for the content that she was most concerned about.
Rather than enjoying a bath or something personal, it is better to seize every moment to understand the current situation!
While concentrating on reading the data and absorbing the information like a sponge, the communication signal flashed again, showing "handsome, beautiful and gentle personal medical officer Sister Chris". Hmm! Such a long note name is definitely not Su Xi's own style. This was forcibly marked after being added as a friend by the other party.
She confirmed the connection, and a two-dimensional communication screen lit up in front of her.
"Hi, little cutie~" The big-breasted sister wearing a military cap and waist-length hair, and the colonel of the Seventh Army, Chris Zowei, dressed in a neat military uniform, smiled brightly and greeted, "I am your personal medical officer, Chris Zowei!"
An interesting person, she greeted me the same way as when we first communicated. She is a very talkative and cheerful older sister.
"Hi, Chris, nice to meet you." Su Xi responded with a smile.
"I have received your latest recovery data. It's very stable. You're awesome!" Chris gave her the usual compliments. After obtaining authorization from His Highness, she, as the concurrent director of the Special Medical Department, easily obtained Su Xi's personal data and recovery progress through remote communication.
Because of the same second gender, and her black hair and black eyes made her look friendly, he won Su Xi's favor almost at the first sight of their first contact.
"The Sun-Swallow will enter its first interstellar jump point in two hours. The next two jumps will be very short. I won't be able to communicate with you before I see you in person," Chris's exaggerated expression of pain on the other side of the two-dimensional light screen made Su Xi laugh.
Chris, who was on a secret mission, saw the cute smile of the brown-haired omega on the two-dimensional light screen, and his eyes lit up. How cute! Chris touched his fingers and was a little eager to do something. He really didn't understand why His Highness rejected the relevant suggestions of the officials on the punishment of this omega lady.
"We are currently adjusting the hibernation transmission data for interstellar migration. I will adjust the values of your medical device. You may feel some slight discomfort after entering the hibernation chamber. Be prepared and don't be afraid of the pain..."
Facing Chris's coaxing tone, Su Xi smiled again.
What else could she say except continue nodding.
Then I listened to Chris babble and give a lot of instructions, "There is still one hour and thirty-five minutes left. Don't play too long on the entertainment terminal. It will be two hours before the hibernation capsule begins. Be good, and when you wake up you will be at the First Fortress."
"I'll be able to connect to the Internet and play games with you soon~"
Su Xi smiled and thanked her, and also said that she was looking forward to seeing her, and hung up the call after saying goodbye. From now until the first interstellar jump, there is still more than an hour to enter the hibernation chamber, and there is still time to make a set of physical and mental coordination plans. She called up the guidance data that Chris had just transmitted to her chip from her independent terminal, and calmly immersed herself in training.
There is still one star time left before leaving the leap hibernation state.

Sun Swallow. Main Control Room.
Before the first interstellar jump. Reach the designated jump point in thirty minutes.
The holographic transparent suspension cabin displays the entire vast star field that is as quiet as the sea.
The First Fortress is located at the border of the Alpha Galaxy. The environment is dead and harsh, with three red dwarf stars that are about to collapse. The magnetic field is chaotic and borders the Zerg territory and the Siren Galaxy on three sides. It is the richest mining area, the most chaotic no-man's land, and the most strategic outpost of the Empire.
Therefore, no matter which galaxy you travel from to the First Fortress, to enter the Human Empire, the steep military fortress that defends against the Zerg, you must pass through a measured directional jump point.
"Sir, the Sun Swallow has arrived at the interstellar jump relocation point for the First Fortress. Coordinates %AK1935, anchor point NCY78634. Requesting the next instruction." A clear female mechanical voice rang out on the bridge.
At the same time, Chris Zowei, who was carrying out a secret covert mission, had also been deployed in position, and the confirmation code had been sent back. The relevant information was being clearly displayed on the real-time synchronized three-dimensional hologram on the other side. The red dots on the radar map were densely surrounding the location of the Sun Swallow, while the green dots were waiting motionlessly in several clever locations.
Fitzgerald stared at the defense deployment on the star map absentmindedly and did not immediately respond to the decision-making request from the intelligent host.
Thinking back to the mental fluctuations just now, the "cargo" that was under strict custody actually woke up early.
Something was wrong. The alarm bells kept flashing red.
"Are you ready for immediate deployment?"
"No," Fitzgerald paused for a moment, then suddenly had an idea and quickly gave a new set of instructions to Chris, then decisively ordered the StarCross system: "Scan the hidden target, mobilize the medium-caliber long-range ion cannon, and fire directly."
"Yes, sir."
The vast star field, which was originally as quiet as the sea, suddenly flashed with bright lights like fireworks as if a group of meteors were whizzing by. Chris was a little surprised when he received the new order, but he instinctively chose to obey. He watched with a little worry as the Sun-Swallow changed its strategy and went straight to the enemy's main ship like a snake in the grass.
From the perspective of the vast universe, where the fireworks flashed silently, a huge fleet whose invisibility was broken appeared densely, surrounding the Sun-Swallow, which was relatively small like a grain of sand, with murderous aura like dumplings.
The pirate logos of several powerful forces in the Siren interstellar power division, Red Gull, Deathwing, and Arale were clearly displayed on the enemy's respective fleets. The top pirate forces in the Siren galaxy were all there. Chris sneered in his heart.
This is a really well done play. It looks like a lot of money was spent on it.
His Highness returned safely from the UFO planet so quickly, and it seems that some people on Yindu Star are starting to get anxious.
After all, the fifty-year probation period for inheritance rights is about to end, isn't it?
…
…
*
Since humans conquered the stars, the new human group headed by pure human genes has established a maximum centralized empire and a throne succession system with gene sequencing as the main means of inheritance.
The selection of inheritance qualifications starts from the embryo, and then they will go through extremely strict early childhood education until the moment of gender differentiation. There is no doubt that the final heir will be born from the candidates who successfully differentiate into alphas, and they will pass the inheritance assessment and training in adulthood. Those who pass the training will be ranked according to their grades, reputation, genetic advantages, etc. This ranking is from the second heir downwards.
The establishment of the first-in-line heir is usually undisputed because genetic advantage is actually revealed at the moment of sexual differentiation.
The reason why the multiple succession system has continued to this day is often due to political needs and the need to balance the increasingly large royal genealogy. After the handover of the old and new imperial powers, the second-in-line heirs were often sent to remote planets to guard and develop the empire's territory.
However, under the iron-blooded and extravagant rule of the current Emperor Anthony, the situation has reversed.
Because the person currently active in Yindu, the administrative core of the empire, is the second in line to the throne, Duke Nader.
What is even more surprising is that this Duke Nader is a Beta, who is deeply trusted by the current emperor. In addition to receiving strong support from the equal rights party, he also has a certain amount of support within the royal family, and his own skills are also quite impressive. Otherwise, as a BETA, he could not have obtained the second-in-line succession rights without the tacit approval of the royal family.
"I am not optimistic about the new bill you are planning now." The elegant and handsome young man with blond hair was tidying up his appearance in front of a floor-length bronze mirror.
"It is inevitable that the equal rights bill for Beta will be passed," the secretary said respectfully. "As the first Duke of Beta in the empire with the 'natural right of succession', if we can get your signature and support, we will surely win!"
"As long as this bill is passed, we will be one step closer to our ultimate goal." The official at the side showed an ambitious smile.
"Ha!" The blond young man turned around, his scarlet cloak drawing an elegant arc, "As the first Beta Duke of the Empire, this is unprecedented!"
"No matter how hard we try to get this equal rights bill, it can't overcome the inheritance law of God-given rights."
"Plus, with the blessing aura designated by the previous emperor before his death, the benefits I can get from this second-in-line inheritance right in the future are at most a few more concessions in the tax laws and administrative management of the territory."
He twitched his lips slightly, and said sarcastically: "You guys, don't do too much right now."
The personal attendant beside him presented him with a scepter inlaid with gemstones. He took it in his hand and examined it carefully. The colorful gemstones on the scepter were dazzling.
He smiled gently at his trusted subordinates present and said, "Don't forget, the current Crown Prince does not have a Crown Princess yet."
"The issue of the continuation of the royal gene."
"That's the most important thing."
After saying this, regardless of whether his subordinates fully understood his meaning or not, Nadel waved his hand impatiently, signaling the Secretary-General to put away the folder and leave.
Finally, he straightened his face in front of the mirror and held the stone staff that symbolized his acting royal power. Outside was the altar for the Holy Sabbath, the annual royal celebration and the routine speech.
A holy child presented a bouquet of pure white roses, which came from the star seeds specially planted and cultivated on the Rose Star. They were pure white, bright and beautiful.
Nader's mouth was drawn into the most perfect smile he could show in public. His long golden hair was neatly tied behind his head and fell down gently as he bent his waist. He reached out his hand to receive the bouquet of flowers that symbolized worship. He lowered his head and sniffed. There was a rich cold fragrance lingering.
The only rose in the cold star ring?
It is impossible for it to bloom again in the Imperial Star Yindu. What a pity that the Star Ring Rose withered before it bloomed.
