Chapter 98
Silver hair cascaded down.
Like a waterfall.
A faint, somewhat familiar aroma rushed into He Xile's nose. As He Xile smelled it, the silhouette of a tentacle suddenly appeared in his mind.
He was stunned for a moment, and instead of revealing the "secret" he wanted to share, he subconsciously asked, "Your Majesty, are all the shampoos in the palace the same brand?"
"Of course." Wen Jiyu asked back, "Aren't you using it too?"
He Xile suddenly realized: "Really?"
Before this, he had never carefully smelled the fragrance of his hair, nor did he pay much attention to it when washing it. However, since His Majesty said so, he should not be lying.
So, it's normal that the giant octopus and His Majesty have the same scent, right?
He Xile didn't think about it anymore.
He looked at His Majesty, who was bending down so close to him, and immediately leaned over, whispering in his ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear, unable to conceal his joy: "Your Majesty, this morning's experiment was a success. If nothing goes wrong, I won't need to bleed him, and I can cure many of Hai Xinna's mentally disturbed patients!"
Wen sent: "..."
He Xile: “?”
Wen Jiu said: "…………"
Wen Ji and His Majesty straightened up, the look in his eyes vanishing completely. He glanced at He Xile with a blank expression. He Xile immediately read two huge words from his expression—that's it?
What's the meaning?
Isn’t this news explosive enough?
When the results came out, everyone in the lab couldn't help but cheer, some even cried! Even He Xile's eyes were filled with tears at the scene.
Or did His Majesty already guess the result of this experiment, which is why he is so calm?
hateful.
He Xile was feeling a little depressed.
He had thought that after telling His Majesty the good news, His Majesty would be particularly happy. After all, weren't both the giant octopus in the palace and himself affected by the chaos?
He Xile lowered his head and began to exude an unhappy air.
Next second.
A big hand pressed down on my head.
The hand felt heavy, but the palm was warm, covering the soft black hair, bringing a touch of warmth. He Xile shrank his neck under the weight, and then heard the noble majesty's evaluation: "Not bad."
He Xile: “…”
He Xile looked up, his expression exactly the same as Wen Ji and His Majesty's before: That's it?
Wen Jiyi asked, "...What gift do you want?"
"You misunderstood." He Xile shook his head.
He was anxious to tell His Majesty the good news, not for the reward.
Judging from Hai Xinna's current situation, He Xile's ability is very special. If he really wants to be a black-hearted businessman and ask for rewards, there are plenty of ways to do it. There is no need to ask His Majesty specifically.
He raised his hand and took away the hand that was pressing on his head. While adjusting his hair, he muttered, "If you press it any further, it won't grow any taller... I don't want a reward, just a compliment."
After saying that, He Xile waited quietly.
Wen Jiyu didn't move. He stood there, his expression vague, as if he was in a daze, or as if he was frozen.
After waiting for a while, the whole restaurant was still so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
He Xile: “?”
no?
Why don’t you praise it???
Is it so difficult to think of a word or sentence to praise him?
Under He Xile's doubtful gaze, His Majesty's crimson lips opened slightly. After a long pause, he uttered a few words: "Very good. Keep up the good work."
He Xile was stunned.
ah?
Ah this.
This is called praise? ?
...And what do you mean by keep going? Can this thing keep going?
He Xile was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He looked at His Majesty and found that the latter was frowning slightly, as if he was not very satisfied with his answer just now, and his body seemed stiffer than before.
He Xile blinked and thought, "Your Majesty, has he never praised anyone before? That's why he's so unfamiliar with it?"
Hmm.
If that's the case...
He Xile's eyes curved, and he stopped "making things difficult" for the other party. He nodded and said, "Then I will accept your majesty's praise."
Wen Ji lowered his eyes and looked at He Xile.
He Xile, who was easily satisfied, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, shall we eat? By the way, today's pudding is super delicious! The sauce is also very well mixed, so fragrant!"
Wen Jiyu: "Yeah."
Only after he sat upright in his seat, with a row of delicious dishes laid out before him, did Wen Jiyu casually raise his hand and touch his earlobe, which had felt a little hot. Just now, when the human had told him the "secret", he had suddenly come close to him without any warning, his hot breath spraying on his earlobe. He had also deliberately lowered his voice when speaking, which had made his ear canal itchy...
Thinking of this, Wen Jiyu snorted coldly.
Humans are really something.
How can it be considered a secret if he will know it sooner or later?
Things that are locked away and not shown to others are called secrets.
Humans are so imprecise with their words.
&
In the afternoon, He Xile did not take a nap. Instead, he took advantage of the lunch break to log into the Star Network and start a live broadcast, preparing to earn enough points for the preliminary round to avoid any accidents.
"Lanlan seems to be very busy recently? She has less and less time to live broadcast."
"Yes, I wait in Lanlan's live broadcast room every day just to make sure I don't miss any of Lanlan's live broadcasts. But recently I found that Lanlan now only broadcasts when he has time. Unlike before, when he would broadcast live to eat and chat with us whenever he had nothing to do."
"Wow, I really want to go back to the past."
"Lan Lan should be busy with reality, right?"
He Xile nodded: "There are indeed a lot of things that need to be done recently, which takes up most of my time every day..." At this point, He Xile couldn't help but smile, his eyes shining like stars, "There is a particularly good thing."
"Wow, looking forward to good things!"
"What good thing? Is it a benefit for us?"
"??? Shut up in front!"
"Every time someone tries to get themselves killed and get banned, what a shame. Aren't you afraid that person will happen to be in Lanlan's livestream and report you, or even have you arrested?"
"It's not a big deal."
"So, what good news is this? I'm getting all fussy all of a sudden."
He Xile: "I can't say now."
"Oh damn, you're keeping me in suspense again! Lanlan, you've learned bad habits."
He Xile: "Hehe."
While chatting with everyone, he sat in the driver's seat of the dish, began to familiarize himself with the key positions, and connected his spirit to the dish.
The preliminaries for the summer season will end in one day. He Xile's current points ranking has been fluctuating and remains at around 400, which is still some distance away from his desired goal.
——According to what the doctor said before, He Xile’s mental power is not just B, it may even be S-level. It is just because of He Xile’s human identity that it has not been detected.
This shows that he actually has even greater potential...
"Let's start." He Xile restrained his expression, his eyes bright, and spoke to Pan seriously.
Dish: "Yes, Your Excellency He Xile."
The battle interface appears, showing that it is searching for opponents with similar combat power.
"Oh my god, Lanlan looks so handsome when he's serious."
"Mom, I'm in love."
"Although Lanlan looks very small, her facial features are actually very beautiful. I really like her smooth black hair. Now she has two little ears, which must be very nice to touch, hehehe."
"Turn on the pervert mode.jpg"
"I love those little blue ears too. When they get excited, the tips turn red with blood. So cute."
He Xile didn't have time to read the barrage.
He has entered the battle room.
In the huge room, He Xile was sitting opposite a strong man. Basic information showed that his mental strength was at level B, just like He Xile's. The mecha he was driving was a beetle-like shape, yellow and black, with two wings.
"Wow, look who I ran into? Isn't this Lan Lan?" The man opposite was obviously also looking at He Xile's information. He raised his hand and greeted him with his mecha.
He Xile's fingers moved quickly on the keys, and then he greeted: "Hello."
"What good luck! Looks like I'm sure to win this time."
The man sighed and said, "I've seen you fight in your livestream before. I know that although your mental power is at B level, your strength isn't quite there yet. It's probably D at best. Are you still livestreaming now? I don't know why I was randomly matched with you, but to avoid being accused of bullying a delicate human... How about this, I'll let you have three moves."
After the man finished talking to himself, the Beetle he was driving made a loud "clicking" sound. Within a few seconds, it took a defensive posture, staying in place without moving, waiting for He Xile to attack.
"bring it on."
He Xile pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "No need."
However, the man did not move.
"? Who is this? It's hilarious, looking down on Lanlan like this?"
"Hahahaha, it must have been a long time since I came to Lanlan's live broadcast room. I don't know Lanlan's current strength."
He Xile felt helpless.
The two sides were deadlocked for a while. This kind of battle had a fifteen-minute countdown. Seeing that five minutes had passed, He Xile whispered, "Shan, let's go."
He looked serious and would not waste the three attacks gained from the opponent's contempt. He hit all of them at the relatively weak points of the opponent's mecha.
Once or twice was no big deal, but when it attacked for the third time, the opponent's beetle began to vibrate very noticeably.
"hiss--"
The man never expected that He Xile's attack power would be so strong.
When driving a mecha, a person's attack power is linked to his mental strength.
He felt a little confused, thinking that this was not the strength of a human being.
However, he no longer underestimated He Xile, but focused all his attention on him, and the two of them started fighting.
After fighting for more than ten moves, the man saw He Xile's flaw, changed the form of his mecha, took out a long sword, and the wings behind him trembled slightly, making his speed faster than that of an ordinary mecha. He hit He Xile with the long sword fiercely.
He Xile didn't dodge, probably because he didn't react in time.
"It's done." The man muttered softly, his eyes fixed on the mecha in front of him.
However, the next second, the dish driven by He Xile suddenly raised his hand to block, and formed a defensive shield just above his arm.
"Click." A crisp sound.
The shield wasn't broken.
The man was stunned, realizing that this meant that the other party's mental strength was higher than his, and that what he thought was a flaw was actually a deliberate trick by the other party to lure him into attacking.
At this moment, the man's heartbeat accelerated, his adrenaline rose rapidly, and he was highly concentrated. Without even pressing the buttons on the control panel, the mecha had already issued a retreat command.
Quick Rewind——
However, just as the mecha's right leg took half a step back, before he could even stand firm, a lightsaber pierced into his body!
Four huge words appeared on the light screen: The battle is over.
He Xile looked at the big word "Victory" and made a "Yeah" gesture to the camera.
He shook his head, taking credit, "Did you see that? Did you all see that? During the fight just now, he actually had two flaws. The other one was caused by my first three attacks on him. But I decided to give it a try and didn't take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack. I didn't expect to actually block it. Hehehe, have I improved again?"
"Yes, yes, Lanlan has improved again!"
"In this split second, Lanlan was able to see both of her opponent's weaknesses, weigh the pros and cons, and choose one of them in a short period of time. This ability itself is quite powerful."
"No need to explain anything, just say 'Lanlan is awesome!'"
"Blue is awesome—"
He Xile felt very embarrassed when he was praised.
He scratched his head and said modestly: "It's not that great..."
At the same time, I thought, it would be great if Your Majesty also had the ability to praise others.
On the opposite side, the defeated beetle has not yet left the room.
The driver had a complicated look on his face and said, "When you first participated in the auditions, I went to watch your battle videos. Back then... you weren't like this."
At that time, He Xile even had difficulty fighting against warriors with D-level mental power. He had to roll and crawl when dodging enemy attacks. When men saw it, they all thought it was a funny scene.
After all, how long has it been now?
He Xile's battles are always broadcast live, which also ensures that he will definitely not cheat.
so……
His progress is so great! ?
The man looked confused and uncertain.
He Xile smiled. "There's a Chinese saying, 'After three days of absence, one should look at the person with new eyes.' I've been training diligently even when you can't see me, so every day I'm a brand new me. In this battle, you shouldn't underestimate the enemy. That would be disrespectful to both yourself and your opponent."
After saying that, He Xile clicked on the next battle and got involved again.
To avoid delaying his afternoon experiment, He Xile only played for an hour and a half before preparing to say goodbye to everyone in the livestream room. However, he received a message from editor Yu Zhuo: "Lanlan, you've been streaming less lately. Although you played TAG in the summer season and have been playing constantly, don't forget the contract we signed. There are livestream time requirements within one month from the effective date of the contract. Remember to make up for it when you have time. Don't be too demanding about the content of the livestream. Even if you broadcast yourself sleeping, people will still enjoy watching it, hahaha."
He Xile: "OK, how many hours are left?"
Yu Zhuo: "This time it's more than 30 hours. I've calculated it for you. On average, two hours a day will be enough."
He Xile: "Okay, I'll pay attention."
After replying the message, He Xile fell into deep thought.
What was he going to do with such a long live broadcast? Of course, it was impossible for him to actually sleep during the live broadcast as Yu Zhuo said. That would be too lame. Moreover, the form that Teacher Sang Qian had sent him previously also included the content of allowing the two little black cats to watch his live broadcast.
After thinking about it, He Xile quickly came up with an idea. He said to the camera, "Remember the Chinese knot I made before?"
"Remember, remember!"
"I sent Lan Lan a gift before, and I even received a Chinese knot gift made by Lan Lan herself, hehehe."
"Chinese knots are very popular at Haixinna. Ever since Lan Lan released the instructional video, many people have learned how to make them. Now, if you walk around the streets, you can still see people wearing Chinese knots."
"Yeah, hahaha, it's like a secret code. We all like Indigo!"
"Why did Lanlan suddenly bring this up? Is she planning to teach us other Chinese knot styles? I've already mastered the one Lanlan taught me before, and I'm eager to try it now!"
He Xile smiled and said, "It's not a Chinese knot, but it's also the crystallization of the wisdom of our blue planet. However, I still need to prepare a little bit, so this one can be regarded as a preview!"
I need to buy some more materials and think carefully about the theme.
The most important thing is to miss His Majesty's birthday! He can't see me!
"Lan Lan said she was busy lately, is this also what she's been busy with?"
"Oh my god, another preview! It's confirmed! Lanlan has really gotten into bad ways now. She's keeping it a secret again."
In order to keep it confidential and maintain freshness, He Xile did not reveal too much.
After logging off, he rested for a while and took the initiative to take Guard 131 to the laboratory.
The afternoon's experiment was similar to the morning's. As soon as He Xile finished all the work and walked out of the instrument, several teachers came forward to ask about his well-being: "Sir He Xile, are you thirsty? Would you like some water?"
"Did you feel any discomfort during the experiment just now? If you feel uncomfortable, please tell us."
He Xile answered each one obediently: "I'm not thirsty, thank you teacher, I didn't feel any discomfort just now."
"That's good."
"Let's collect some data for comparative analysis."
He Xile: "Okay."
While the teachers were busy, He Xile picked up the two little black cats and sat by the window to bask in the sun.
The warm sunlight shining on the body makes people feel a little drowsy.
Soon, the laboratory door opened.
His Majesty, dressed in a black robe, entered the room, and the guards behind him stood guard at the door in an orderly manner, along with 131.
His Majesty strode into the laboratory. "I've read the report. How's the experiment going?"
When they saw that it was His Majesty, everyone looked at each other and slowed down their movements at the same time.
Sang Qian was the oldest and most accomplished of the group, and he was the one taking the lead. He stepped forward and said to Wen Jiyu with a smile, "Your Majesty, so far, everything is progressing in a positive direction. After His Excellency He Xile hugged and touched the two kittens for a short period of time, the mental fluctuations in the kittens in groups A and B weren't particularly large, but it did mobilize some of their mental energy, which was very helpful in recovering from their disorder. I believe that with longer contact time, the results will be even better."
Afraid that His Majesty might not understand, Mr. Sang deliberately used simpler words.
Wen Jiyu responded with a cold "hmm".
He was about to say something, but when he turned around and saw the smiling face of Mr. Sang and his gentle eyes, he paused slightly.
——In the entire Haixinna, Wen Jiyu’s reputation is not good. Occasionally, when someone who has benefited from him speaks up for him, he will be scolded. Wen Jiyu is too lazy to argue with them.
Gradually, whenever people mentioned His Majesty, they would mostly use very negative words to describe him.
But there was no way. Wen Jiyou was the strongest in the entire Haixinna, and His Majesty usually led the army to fight against the Zerg's large-scale attacks. So even if everyone had some complaints about His Majesty, they endured it.
Previously, because of the matter of this little human, Wen Ji Yu selected eight professors and sent guards to invite them. However, due to the importance of the matter, he did not explain the reason, but only said that Wen Ji Yu wanted to see them.
As a result, only two of the eight professors showed up. The other six were rude to the guards. Two of them even thought that His Majesty was going to cause trouble for them and left the Haixinna Imperial Capital overnight.
In the end, Wen Jiyou went out personally and forcibly brought the remaining four to the palace. After they signed a confidentiality agreement, he revealed his purpose, forming the remaining six professors in the laboratory.
After hearing the purpose of this experiment, the professors' expressions eased slightly, but when they thought about why they appeared in the palace, they still didn't look at him well.
I didn't expect that today... I would smile at him?
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" asked Old Sang.
Wen Jiyu shook his head: "It's okay." He turned his gaze to He Xile who was standing beside him.
He Xile was holding two kittens, sitting near the window, pinching their feet and playing with them.
The orange sunset shone in through the window outside, casting a layer of warm and soft light over He Xile's body, and his slender fingers looked even whiter and more beautiful against the black hair.
He looked at the two kittens with very gentle eyes and a smile on his lips. He seemed to notice Wen Jiyu's gaze and raised his head. The light in his eyes was very bright as he greeted, "Your Majesty, good afternoon."
Wen Jiyu's gaze fell on the place where He Xile and the black cat were in contact: "Well, is the training completed?"
He Xile: “…No.”
Wen Jiyu: "Why don't you go quickly?"
He Xile silently put the kitten down and said reluctantly, "I'm going to go train first. I'll come and play with you guys when I have the chance."
“Meow meow meow!”
The little black cat also couldn't bear to leave He Xile, and took the initiative to rub his head against him.
The kitten is so cute.
He Xile couldn't help but squat down and touch the heads of the two kittens.
Wen Jiyu stood there expressionlessly, glancing at the man standing next to Elder Sang: "Kaili, right? Aren't you going to do an experiment? Why don't you go pick up those two cats?"
Kaili: “???”
Kaili was confused, but his body was still very honest. He subconsciously walked over and picked up the cat.
Even though it was soft and fluffy, Kaili still looked confused.
ah?
Why are you in a hurry?
Although Lord He Xile was going to training and they did need to continue their experiments, there was no need to rush, right? There was still a few minutes of time to say goodbye. After all, Lord He Xile seemed to like kittens so much.
Moreover, His Majesty's appearance always makes me feel...
It's like...
When Kaili thought of a possibility, he shuddered for a moment and immediately threw the idea out of his head.
And most importantly—
Your Majesty actually remembers his name? Is he already so famous?
