Chapter 182 Chapter 182
Chapter 182
Obviously it was impossible to start over again, and even Ethan, who had already exploded, did not stop talking.
"Would you mind putting your brain to good use while you're courting Marshal Theodore? I'm sorry I really haven't felt him staying well inside your skull these past few days - perhaps you should go to the infirmary?"
"--If you were to find that you still have a brain, you would know how offensive it is to stand in front of someone's door so early in the morning."
"Compared to you, those guys on the Internet who offend others everywhere seem to have become more amiable - at least they can be punished by the mastermind!"
These words first stunned the people present, and then they looked at Feng Li, who had become stiff, with strange eyes.
He still hasn't reacted. No one has ever dared to scold him in person. Even on the Internet, he has restricted them using the power of the main brain.
So he was still in a daze.
After Professor Ethan finished scolding, he stood there gasping for breath, his eyes full of mist, and he looked really angry.
No one present blamed him. Although Ye Ruian and Aaron were absent due to personal matters, people from the other two countries also stood on his side.
Although he cannot support him openly, not blaming him has already made his position clear.
After all, Professor Ethan's outburst seemed natural to everyone present. In fact, if they were Professor Ethan, they would definitely not be so good-tempered and allow the other party to harass them for almost three days before exploding.
Professor Ethan has managed to hold it in until now, without even swearing.
The people present couldn't help but look at Professor Ethan with sympathy.
Jiang Qi on the side was about to jump in front of Professor Ethan to help him block the prince of the Orc Empire.
Especially Feng Li's deputy, the look in his eyes when he looked at Professor Ethan was filled with sympathy to the extreme.
In fact, everyone knows that Professor Ethan will be harassed and flattered by other forces, and even subjected to various schemes during these three days.
After all, Professor Ethan has published countless papers on the ancient god ruins in the past two years. Although his titles are all "Ancient Lost Ruins", anyone who has a little knowledge of the ancient god ruins can read his papers.
However, most people were happy to see that Professor Ethan found the central figures of the other two countries as quickly as possible and formed a partnership with them.
The Human Federation was satisfied with the candidates. After all, one was a poor little kid who had just escaped from the hands of his abusive biological parents, and the other was a famous saint admiral of the Holy Star Empire.
These two people are more normal than all kinds of politicians with ulterior motives.
Professor Ethan's level might get him killed in the political circle, but between these two people, it is already a high level.
The situation for the other two countries is much simpler. Professor Ethan has already taken advantage of them by taking the initiative to get along with people from their countries. Everything after that will depend on how they handle it.
And after Professor Ethan and these two colleagues, the harassment against him was much reduced.
No one is a fool. Since Professor Ethan has already made his attitude clear, people from the other two countries will naturally not go too far.
——Until Feng Li appeared.
At first, the deputy thought that the idea he gave Feng Li was simply genius.
After all, he was just trying to pretend at first, and he didn't go for Professor Ethan, but tried to build a relationship with Ye Ruian.
Unfortunately, Ye Ruian didn't give him any face at all. He always ignored him and even called his deputy.
The deputy originally thought that Ye Ruian probably didn't want to be involved with the Crown Prince because of Ye Yu's matter - but then this idea was shattered by the recording provided by Ye Ruian.
"——What happened before was my fault, but I will be the team leader in the days ahead. Let's get along with each other in a friendly manner. After all, I am in charge of this project now."
"I know you don't want to get close to me right now, but it will be nice if we spend more time together."
"My father also told me to take good care of you. A sub-orc shouldn't be so arrogant."
Looking at Ye Ruian's expression that was gradually approaching anger, it was actually quite normal that the deputy couldn't say these words.
Professor Ethan and Admiral Aaron were still there at that time. The surprised looks they gave him almost made the deputy want to find a hole to crawl into.
——It’s a disgrace to the national level!
Fortunately, the entire process was kept confidential on the starship, and Feng Li’s image among the people will not be affected by this incident.
At this time, the deputy had already realized that there seemed to be some problems with Feng Li's execution of his idea.
He intended to stop Feng Li's behavior, but Feng Li found another target.
Professor Ethan.
Yes, I don’t know if it was because Professor Ethan politely persuaded Ye Ruian the last time Ye Ruian got angry, but Feng Li just went straight for Professor Ethan.
——God knows that the other party was just trying to dissuade him politely, and then he frowned after hearing Feng Li’s words.
At the beginning, the social etiquette at the national level was normal, and Professor Ethan could barely tolerate it.
However, after chatting a few times, Feng Li thought for some reason that he and Professor Ethan had a personal relationship, so all kinds of suffocating and offensive remarks like before appeared.
He said that Professor Ethan must have a hard time being so strong-willed. He told Professor Ethan about his understanding of the texts on the ancient gods' relics and even asked about Professor Ethan's love history in a self-conscious manner.
These were normal interactions in Feng Li's view, but every word touched Professor Ethan's sore spot, as well as the sore spots of everyone present.
So there was the scene where Professor Ethan finally couldn't stand it anymore and exploded.
The deputy really wanted to cover his face and leave, not caring about this mess, but unfortunately he still had to take care of Feng Li's affairs.
The person in charge of the project this time is said to be Feng Li. In fact, everyone knows that Feng Li is here just to gild his reputation, and the one who really does the work is his so-called deputy.
The deputy took a look at the people around him. It was great that all the people from the three countries were present. Moreover, these people were not low in importance either. They were deputies or specialized technicians or something like that.
But it's true, the low-level soldiers are working now, who has time to come and watch?
The deputy was thinking, still calculating in his mind how much apology gift to give them, but before the deputy stepped forward to apologize, he heard the dazed Feng Li finally come to his senses and subconsciously refute loudly.
"——How could I possibly like a male like Theodore???!"
Now the deputy was speechless. It seemed like you didn't hear what Professor Ethan just said, right? Those offensive words were not as offensive as saying that you like males, right?
I should have said that diplomatic rhetoric could have saved the day, but now...
The deputy felt like he was about to pass out.
At this time, Professor Ethan spoke again, his voice was icy but revealed a hint of sarcasm, "Really? It seems that I misunderstood. It's a pity that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said at the beginning that he wanted to reconcile with Ryan, but he spent most of his time with Marshal Xioyuan, and even asked about Fang Sen's schedule for the evening."
There was something wrong in the deputy's eyes.
Their proud prince actually asked about Marshal Theodore's schedule? Was he planning to meet him by chance?
Could it be that...
Is Professor Ethan right?
And at this time Theodore finally hurried over:?
What happened? Why is everyone looking at me?
Feng Li finally couldn't help it at this time. He was a domineering person by nature. He had already exceeded his task by being able to patiently please Ethan and Ye Ruian for three days. Now he was actually slandered for liking another male...
The deputy knew something was wrong as soon as he saw Feng Li's expression. He stepped forward and wanted to cover his mouth, but unfortunately Feng Li's hand was faster than him.
With a "pa--" sound, Feng Li directly knocked away the arm that his deputy extended, and spoke.
"Professor Ethan, I don't want to hear this slander anywhere else in the future."
After Feng Li finished speaking, he turned around and said to Theodore with cold eyes.
"Marshal Theodore, take care of your men."
Then he turned around and left.
All that was left was a bewildered look on the faces of everyone at the scene—and the deputy’s expression as if he had seen hell on earth.
Theodore was particularly bad.
Theodore, who was inexplicably stared at with contempt by everyone in the audience:...I just came here to be a peacemaker!
*
Fortunately, Marshal Theodore brought an adjutant with him to explain things to others, and Professor Ethan did not take Feng Li’s words seriously.
"I believe His Excellency the Marshal is not such a person."
Professor Ethan said.
Of course the original words would not be so mild.
"Your Excellency the Marshal is so stupid as to tell other people everything." These are Professor Ethan's original words.
Although it helped to clarify Marshal Theodore's reputation, to some extent it didn't seem to clarify much.
And Theodore's bad luck pales in comparison to that of another person present.
——Feng Li’s deputy apologized to everyone everywhere and was almost crying.
It is obviously not easy to climb to the current position at the age of 120 - it is a pity that he encountered the big trouble of Feng Li during this mission.
Fortunately, after Theodore cleared his own reputation, he also helped this deputy.
However, whether the people present believe this clarification or not is a matter of opinion.
As long as it's okay on the whole, it's fine.
The people present gradually dispersed, and 'Ethan' walked into his studio with a melancholy expression.
——Then he slumped down in his chair openly.
[I really watch Gao Fengli. I almost pointed out to him that Ye Ruian was abnormal, but he was still only concerned about those rumors. He even thought that a little rumor could affect Ye Ruian and Yisan.]
Gu Youxing and 777 complained.
Calling Feng Li stupid, he also knew to start from other reasons. After all, the professional abilities of these people were beyond doubt.
But if you say he is smart, he can't even say what the other person wants to hear when he wants to win people over, and every word he says hits the other person's sore spot.
[…At first glance, it is clear that he has never been beaten by society and has become overly spoiled. If he had a brother, or if the old emperor had lived longer, Feng Li would not be so arrogant.]
Gu Youxing said.
[Host, you are right, and it really makes sense that AI cannot replace humans. Originally, the company was thinking of letting us systems go on missions, and then we could just give each of us a biochemical body. Now...]
777 also said with a bit of a sullen tone: [Forget it. No matter how much our system simulates, we can’t simulate Feng Li’s behavior and the conversations he had just had—even if the system went crazy, it couldn’t simulate his response.]
777 really couldn’t understand why Feng Li was so confident. This didn’t make sense logically.
Unfortunately, most things in the real world are not logical.
As long as physics allows, anything is possible.
Fortunately, Gu Youxing only talked about Feng Li for a while and then changed the topic to the previous conference, and 777 also regained his spirit and started analyzing.
[Host, this time the project is to get the sample and bring it back safely. Do you have any idea? ]
777 asked curiously.
Of course, 777 was not asking for clues on how to get the things, but for clues on how the host could increase the difficulty of designing the mechanisms in the ruins.
Over the past two years, those missionaries have accumulated some popularity, and the ruins must have changed.
[It's ready. The robot is currently doing the final repair work. It will definitely give a surprise to those who visit the ruins this time.]
Gu Youxing said with a smile, and he also brought up the control panel in his hand.
On a distant planet, the interior of the ruins that had originally stopped suddenly changed again.
Upon seeing this, 777 stopped asking further questions and turned to ask the old prime minister at the conference.
[Host, the old Prime Minister should be fine, right? Will it cause any disturbance to the plan? ]
777 said with some concern: [After all, he is a ruthless person who has experienced everything from the Human Empire to the Human Federation. What if he realizes that there is something wrong with the ruins, or exposes the ruins...]
After hearing 777's concerns, Gu Youxing said directly: "Don't worry, he can't go down to the ruins at his age. At most, he can stay in the back. As long as he doesn't go down, the things he sends back won't be visible."
[After all, the items are real, it's just that the explanation is a little bit wrong. The Cthulhu foot skin powder in the statue is enough for them to study for a while.]
Gu Youxing said with a smile.
777 nodded. He knew that his host was always reliable in this regard.
Then Gu Youxing changed the subject and said, "But the key issue now is to get Feng Li to stay in the room. God knows I see Feng Li standing at my door every day when I open the door, and he alternates between Ye Ruian and Ethan standing at the door - should I be glad that he didn't count Aaron?"
Gu Youxing said this with gritted teeth, which was rare.
He had never met such an arrogant person in these worlds. Even Gao Wenjun could keep up appearances.
However, Feng Li...
[I am really afraid that he will come again. I might not be able to resist and attack him. Feng Li's behavior logic is really out of control.]
Gu Youxing said helplessly.
It’s a pity that Feng Li’s identity cannot be changed for the time being. After all, he is the crown prince. Under the current circumstances, it is definitely not a good thing for the Orc Empire to lose its only heir and cause turmoil.
Having said that, but...
[——Host, you actually just simply dislike Feng Li and don’t want to get along with him. ]
777 said it pointedly.
Gu Youxing nodded without hesitation.
“A-choo!”
At this time, Feng Li, who was in his room, sneezed loudly at the holographic image of his father opposite him.
*
After sneezing, Feng Li didn't care much about it. He continued to speak to his father on the other side of the holographic image.
"——That Ethan really didn't respect our Orc Empire. I approached him with good intentions and tried to please him in a humble manner, but look at what he said."
Feng Li said this with a cold and angry expression, and directly sent the surveillance data over.
However, the old emperor on the opposite side did not directly believe his son's words. Although he believed that Feng Li would not lie to him, he was sure that his son would embellish the truth a little bit.
Thinking of this, the old emperor listened to him while responding perfunctorily from time to time, and at the same time took out the summary report of his deputy over the past few days.
After seeing the report, the old emperor fell silent.
The report was written quite clearly, including when Feng Li started to contact Ye Ruian, when he was rejected by Ye Ruian with the recording, when Feng Li turned to Professor Ethan, and when Professor Ethan chatted with Feng Li. It was all written clearly and concisely.
Originally, he agreed with his son on a few words, but after the old emperor saw what his son did, he really could not agree with him anymore.
"Fortunately, he only communicated with me and didn't complain to others."
The old emperor thought thankfully.
Although I have offended everyone, offending everyone and offending everyone to death are two different concepts.
but……
The old emperor looked at Feng Li's miserable expression and sighed deeply.
The royal family of the Orc Empire has always had few offspring. In addition, the old emperor went out to lead an army in person when Feng Li was just born, and the queen has always doted on her children, which led to Feng Li's overbearing personality.
The key is that you can be domineering, but can you at least be a little smart?
It's a pity that they are not smart at all, and even their train of thought is quite strange - in this case, Feng Li beat up Ethan because he offended the dignity of the royal family, and they are right, but they just left without even making a diplomatic protest...
The Orc Emperor was worriedly thinking about how to make Feng Li's thinking process more normal.
I originally thought that this child would be fine once he grew up, but now it seems that I still have to intervene forcibly.
Feng Li didn't know what would be waiting for him after returning home. After he finished talking to his father and asked him to talk to Ye Ruian, he hung up the phone.
Then he curled up a sarcastic smile, thinking that maybe he would see those people begging for mercy later.
The Orc Emperor did call Ye Ruian, but it was not to mediate with Feng Li.
It was in order to grasp the latest developments on the starship. Even though Ye Ruian was equipped with an assistant, the old emperor was afraid that Feng Li would intervene and cause problems.
After all, that is immortality...
Who doesn’t like immortality?
The old emperor thought with a dark look in his eyes.
When the communication was connected, the old emperor immediately switched to the mode of a loving uncle and began to ask about the patient's well-being, and then asked unobtrusively.
"…Ryan, how are you getting along with Professor Ethan now? Have you been wronged?"
The Orc Emperor asked worriedly, which was completely different from his previous expression when he didn't even care about Feng Li's physical condition.
But the old emperor believed that given Feng Li's personality of seeking revenge for the slightest injustice, Feng Li would bring the matter to him without him having to do anything.
It is Ye Ruian who needs attention. He had just severed ties with the Ye family and left his adoptive parents to run this project.
This person is now the treasure of the entire empire, and nothing can happen to him.
Ye Ruian, with his arrogant silver hair, spoke like a well-behaved little wolf at this moment.
"No, Your Majesty, the people you sent to me are really dedicated and responsible, and Professor Ethan is a really good person..."
Ye Ruian blushed as he spoke: "Professor Ethan is really very gentle. Although he looks cold and hard to approach, he is very kind to children and very gentle!"
Old Emperor: ...Are you talking about that arrogant guy who didn’t even give face to the crown prince of a country and just opened his mouth to curse people?
The old emperor was a little confused when he heard this, but he still maintained his image in front of Ye Ruian and asked him to get along well with his colleagues.
"…Ryan will apologize to Professor Ethan on behalf of the royal family for what happened before. The compensation gift from the empire will be delivered through a special channel soon. I also hope that Professor Ethan will not have any complaints against the royal family because of Feng Li."
The old emperor said with a wry smile, which immediately made Ye Ruian, who was a little angry when talking about Feng Li, look embarrassed and made repeated assurances.
Only then did the old emperor hang up the phone contentedly, while Ye Ruian on the other end of the line smiled.
*
The next few minutes passed quickly.
Professor Ethan’s abusive words that day were never pursued by the Orc Empire. Instead, he received a personal apology gift from the emperor.
Feng Li didn't know how he was persuaded by his deputy. Apart from his eyes becoming more and more like a venomous snake, he didn't make any moves.
In addition, everyone present that day signed a confidentiality agreement, so the matter ultimately did not spread.
——Every time Ye Ruian looked at Feng Li, it was as if there were knives in his eyes.
Theodore was unlucky and was laughed at by Leander for a full half month. Even Harrison came out of his workshop and laughed at Theodore after hearing the news.
But it did not affect the work, and the old prime minister ignored the previous minor conflicts.
Today, they finally arrived at the planet D-5889, and they finally finalized the list of people to explore the ruins this time.
The lists of the three countries were all included, and Ye Ruian was indeed on the list - he participated in this project just for this.
Admiral Aaron is the ground support, while Professor Ethan is the consultant of the operation and Marshal Theodore is the commander-in-chief.
"Although it's dangerous to go down this time, your life won't be in danger. The Human Federation has developed a protective suit specifically for the ruins to protect against that mysterious power. Although it won't provide 100% protection, it can at least reduce the impact of the energy on people."
The old prime minister spoke seriously and made a promise in front of everyone.
"Please rest assured that no one will have their life delayed due to the lack of medical resources this time."
Leander immediately sighed, he was worthy of being the old prime minister, this time he directly scolded all the previous members of parliament.
Fortunately, the players present were all very serious. Even Ye Ruian, the deputy captain, had a tense expression on his face.
After the old prime minister finished his speech, all work began to proceed in an orderly manner.
However, the first step encountered problems.
Everyone was silent as they looked at the ruins site they scanned.
Planet D-5889 was originally a desert resource planet with depleted energy.
So who's going to tell them now?
——What’s the matter with the oasis that appeared above the ruins?
