Chapter 72
Everything came to an end, and Wen Yuxiao finally returned to the main planet and lay down on the bed in her room. In fact, the priest had asked her if she wanted to go back to school, but Wen Yuxiao asked him back, "Am I someone who loves going to school?" He couldn't help laughing, and his heart and eyes were full of "Your Highness is so cute like this."
Just as the white-haired king insect bowed gracefully and turned to leave, Wen Yuxiao muttered "Not right" and then somersaulted to his feet, grabbing the young man's sleeve and saying, "If I don't go to school, I won't have a diploma."
Yun Yuxi, who was startled by her sudden movements and even dropped the biscuit in his hand, quickly picked it up from the floor and stuffed it into his mouth while complaining, "You can have anything you want now, so why do you need that diploma?"
When Wen Yuxiao was asked, she hesitated for a moment and replied, "Uh... find a good job?"
"Oh my god." Upon hearing this, the young goddess feigned surprise and gasped dramatically. "In two days, you'll be crowned Queen of the Zerg, sister. By then, you'll own most of the universe. Why are you still thinking about graduating and finding a good job?"
After being scolded by her sister, Wen Yuxiao suddenly remembered something. She clutched the soft sleeve of the man in her hand and complained softly, "I don't want to ascend the throne... Taishe is dead. I can faint directly in such a big scene."
The priest, who had been listening to the two sisters chatting away without expressing any opinion, and whose sleeve had been grabbed and unable to leave, suddenly spoke up at this moment, smiling and obeying Wen Yuxiao's opinion: "Okay, we will follow your Highness's opinion."
Hearing that he had changed his mind, Wen Yuxiao's expression suddenly became much more relaxed. She breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized that she was still holding on to him. She loosened her hand a little embarrassedly, and at the same time shifted her pleading gaze away from the white-haired king insect. Just like the priest could not refuse her request, she was a soft-hearted person. If the former was firm in his opinion, she had no choice but to... bite the bullet and go for it.
Instead, Yun Yuxi looked at the smiling priest strangely. Why did this bug change its nature today? It was like the sun rising from the west. This man originally wanted to show off their Queen to the whole world, but now he suddenly changed his mind. Was he scared by the attack a few days ago?
After pondering for a moment, she found the thoughts of these brilliant minds completely incomprehensible. Perhaps it was simply possessive urges, ultimately harmless. Yun Yuxi disregarded the complexities involved. After seeing them off, she formed the compensation she had requested—a vibrant planet suitable for the survival of her newly created race. The seeds had already been planted, and the Creator's gaze would watch as they forged their own history and story.
After resting for two days in a lethargic state, Wen Yuxiao felt that if he continued to be bored, he would be completely immersed in it and unable to move. He had finally arrived in the legendary interstellar era, and he was rich and powerful, but he still stayed in his room every day. What was the difference between this and someone who went on a trip and ended up sleeping in a hotel for a day!
With the above thoughts in mind, she dragged Yun Yuxi, who was intervening in the evolution and development of species on the planet, out of the door. Although she was very familiar with this huge castle when playing games, she had not yet had a good look around it now that it had become a reality.
To avoid remembering unnecessary people like last time, Wen Yuxiao declined the terminal's request for company. Pointing at the little electronic bird, Yun Yuxi, who was still trying to come up with some origin story for the new species, said, "Having her by my side is enough for me. Go do your own thing."
The silver-white metal bird nodded. A few streams of data flashed through its eyes, which were inlaid with a complete and beautiful blue energy crystal. Then, the bird said goodbye to Wen Yuxiao in its gentle and hoarse voice: "Yes, Your Highness, I will not disturb you anymore."
The robotic bird flapped its wings and flew away. Wen Yuxiao tugged at the wrist of the person next to him, and they strolled together in this spacious and magnificent palace.
In order to avoid people bowing to him when they saw him, Wen Yuxiao, who greeted others frequently along the way and looked like he had nothing to do, touched the wall of the palace and watched the entire corridor flip and deform in front of him, the space shifted, and finally connected to a small path that no one cared about.
"Where are we going?" Yun Yuxi, who had been immersed in her own world, came back to her senses. She was not surprised at the changes that would happen to this high-tech castle. She was just a little confused and didn't know what her sister wanted to do.
Wen Yuxiao herself did not have an exact destination. To be honest, she just wanted to see with her own eyes what surprises would happen if everything that was originally virtual became reality and was left to develop for decades.
Most parts of this castle built by her own hands are no different from before. The nostalgic Zerg have only innovated the technology, but the appearance has stubbornly retained its previous appearance. The reason for doing so is probably that they do not want to face the reality that the queen has left.
This time, they opted for smaller paths, not worrying about getting lost. They could just reorganize the space if they couldn't get out. To avoid a situation where she'd suddenly walk in during a meeting and have everyone stand up and respectfully stare at her, Wen Yuxiao used her authority to confirm whether anyone was inside before opening doors that looked identical except for the house numbers.
After a while, Yun Yuxi pushed open the door of a utility room and found many novel and unique musical instruments lying idle inside. After doing some soundproofing, he began to try them out one by one. Wen Yuxiao, who was constantly making strange noises, couldn't help but hold his forehead and asked, "You... are you taking me to open a blind box today?"
"Hmm..." Wen Yuxiao was startled when she suddenly pressed a button and the flute in her hand suddenly turned into a hidden weapon, shooting several silver needles at the wall. She paused for a moment before remembering that she had to answer the question of Yun Yuxi, who was wandering around the room. "I guess so. Don't think it's boring. What if we have a big surprise later?"
"Okay, okay." Yun Yuxi raised her hands in surrender. It was because this man was holding her vital point. So she squatted down and played the instrument with Wen Yuxiao.
The surprise prize arrived soon. Just as Wen Yuxiao was sure there wasn't a single living creature inside, only a bunch of electronic devices, and happily pushed open the door to get some more high-tech toys, the electronic eye on the door that confirmed access closed in a very humane way. After the authentication was passed, the electronic device made its first sound, a voice exactly like the robot bird's, hoarse and tender: "Welcome, Your Highness."
Wen Yuxiao turned her head to take another look at the door. She assumed all electronic devices were making the same sound, belonging to the terminal. Therefore, she missed the scene inside after the door opened. Yun Yuxi did see it: a vast, seemingly endless, long room filled with white, unique figures, both male and female.
Without exception, they had their eyes closed, their expressions serene and peaceful, and were trapped in large jars filled with a strange light green nutrient solution. They looked like beautiful specimens that had been specially collected.
What if... they all opened their eyes and looked at me at this moment?
Yun Yuxi felt a little nauseous at her own terrifying thoughts. She was not afraid of these bionic people who were still sleeping. They were obviously artificially created. If they really made her unhappy, she could just close her eyes and blow them up indiscriminately. Any damage would be on her sister. After all, more debts than more burdens.
But this strange scene really gives people the feeling of the uncanny valley effect. The motionless human figures soaking in the nutrient solution emitting a faint glow look too much like humans, but at the same time, they can make normal people clearly realize that they cannot be humans.
Wen Yuxiao was also shocked by the scene when she turned around. She looked left and right, took two steps back, and only reacted when her back, through a layer of clothes, hit the cold metal door. She shuddered and looked up at the neatly arranged jars. The limbs of the human figures in them were not fixed, so they swayed freely with the flow of nutrient solution.
Seeing such a SAN-level-lowering scene, Wen Yuxiao couldn't help but mutter, "What I want to open...isn't this kind of thing."
Now that they were here, the two had no intention of backing down. Wen Yuxiao first thought hard about whether she had ever done such a naughty thing in the past, and then remembered the complicated and troublesome ethical issues of bionic people. After some hesitation, she gave up this research direction and turned around to lead the Zerg to happily click on other technology trees.
If it wasn't her masterpiece, it meant that this was a new trick the Zerg came up with after she left.
Haha, I feel like since I ran away, the Zerg seem to have become real "bugs", completely losing their moral ethics. They dare to do any research and have produced so many weird things.
What do you do when your child gets into trouble? Of course, give him a beating.
Thousands of thoughts irrelevant to the current situation flashed through his mind in an instant, diverting his attention. This could probably be considered a good way for Wen Yuxiao to relieve his tension.
Yun Yuxi took the lead and casually tapped the jar, a crisp "dong dong" sound echoing through the quiet space. Then she placed her hand on it, a mysterious starlight emanating from her palm. Through the thick, transparent barrier, she sensed the bionic man's specific structure. The simple, boring analysis quickly lost her interest, but her eyes lit up when she finally discovered something new and interesting.
On the other hand, Wen Yuxiao didn't think so much. She stopped in front of a jar with some curiosity. A beautiful female bionic man was sleeping quietly in the nutrient solution. When bubbles rose up, Wen Yuxiao had a strange feeling in her heart that she would open her eyes.
What kind of horror movie are you thinking about... Wen Yuxiao's eyes drifted and turned to the cans lined up next to him. When he raised his foot to leave, he heard a faint sound of knocking on the glass.
She thought Yun Yuxi was fiddling with something again, and was about to teach her to be careful not to break it, only to find that the young goddess was standing far away from the jar, staring down at the shiny metal floor, one hand holding her chin and the other around her waist, thinking, and had no time to knock on the jar for fun.
And the jar in front of her... the bionic man inside had opened his eyes at some point, and when his eyes accidentally met Wen Yuxiao's, the male bionic man gave her a friendly and ingratiating smile.
