[any: Your Majesty, eat everything, just please do not suffer. That person called Xu Bai something, had really no upbringing, I’m really so annoyed with him ah ah ah ah ah]
[Gululu: Cool! ! ! ]
[Pyrotechnic Love: Who took a screenshot when your Majesty’s filter halo was fully opened? i was dumbfounded and forgot to take a screenshot, begging kind people to send a copy to me to lick the screen, thank you thank you!]
[Flame: Just let it go, it makes him cheaper. The guards should be send to sack him violently, and then transport the sack to the abandoned Saturn mine by interstellar flight. ]
Wen Xingze had handled this matter very quickly, basically not giving Xu Baijing much of a look. But the existence of Xu Baijing, that troublesome person, still makes many parents feel uncomfortable.
What kind of brat is that! Obviously, they are both in their twenties, why their children are so cute, good and kind, while that Xu Bai whatever is so annoying?
So far, the first time the main task is fully completed, the familiar system sounded.
[Congratulations parents, the current main task successfully completed! Get skill points * 1, lottery ticket * 1. Since both targets of this task have exceeded the task, additional lottery ticket * 1 is awarded.]
[The original requirements for this task was to reach a popularity value of 1000 and gain the favor of two industry seniors.]
[Now Wen Xingze’s popularity value had already reached more than 1,300 and was still rising, while the industry seniors had also gained three favorites – Jiang Ye, Zheng Xiao and Inoue Ryuunosuke respectively.]
The additional completion of the task is surprisingly rewarding, it seems that this system still has so little redeeming features, parents thought.
……..
Manli Hotel.
One hundred and fifty thousand a night presidential suite, occupying the entire area of the topmost floor of the hotel, duplex living room, private garden, but also supporting entertainment room, sports room, bar. And because it was summer, so the fireplace was not lit.
The whole decoration style is on the Japanese side, simple and elegant, and not what Wen Xingze imagined, like exaggerated luxury crystal lights and what not, but the smallest details in this suite are extravagant and exquisite.
There is even a kitchen in here, does the occupants of presidential suite will ever do their own cooking? What would they do, experience life like a normal person and cook?
After Wen Xingze raised his doubts, the foreman answered: “Although our chef is also a three-star Michelin chef level, but many guests will still choose to bring their own private chef.”
These top noble-born people have very precious stomachs, they are not used to eating dishes made by anyone other than their own personal chefs, so all presidential suites are equipped with a kitchen.
Is this the joy of the rich?
Wen Xingze said, “Uh, I’m used to eating three-star Michelin.”
Foreman: “Mr. Wen, you’re joking. Your chef has arrived an hour early to prepare the kitchen, and the ingredients flown in are ready, so you can choose to dine anytime.”
Wen Xingze: “???” When did his family hire a chef?
That chef is a great craftsman. When manli’s chef saw them, all of them went to greet the senior respectfully.
Twenty minutes later.
The open-air hot spring pool overlooked the entire capital in all its glory, with the financial building across the street towering into the clouds.
The 3D circular projection theater was showing Wen Xingze’s favorite SpongeBob SquarePants theatrical version, with stereo 3D surround sound, giving SpongeBob some extra blockbuster feel as well.
Wen Xingze was feeling drowsy in the open-air hot spring, the bath salt was his favorite lemon sea salt flavor.
He refused to think about how it all came about and how much it cost. It was said that a masseuse would be provided with the spa, which Wen Xingze politely declined.
After a while, the foreman”s intercom dialed in, “Mr. Wen, excuse me, your tailor has arrived, I will arrange for him to come in after your bath.”
Wen Xingze who thought he wouldn’t be surprised anymore, “Tailor?”
“Yes.” Then the foreman explained, just like having a personal chef, these tycoons generally very rarely wear the sought-after luxury brands on the market, having special designers in Munich or Milan and having tailors come in for measurements every season.
“The twenty-three brands that Manli has settled into have sales clerks waiting outside your door with all the new seasonal models, so you’ll have to settle for a moment.”
Wen Xingze gave up thinking: “…… Oh, okay, good.”
After soaking in the hot spring, Wen Xingze simply showered and put on his bathrobe and walked out, and indeed he saw twenty-three counters in various uniforms lined up in the living room, each with a row of hangers on its own side to prevent clothes from creasing.
The price tag is followed by a large string of zeros.
Wen Xingze picked a set with the least number of zeros, thinking they would take the rest back with them. He didn’t expect the maids to move skillfully to pack up the rest, leaving the bags and gift boxes, after that the maids left.
Wen Xingze: “……” Don’t do that!
“Excuse me.” Next was the tailor came up to measure his shoulder width and leg length, asked some questions about his preferences, and then the tailor also left.
“Would you like to dine now?” The foreman asked.
“Just a moment,” Wen Xingze saw a large gift box in the living room with ‘to cub’ written on it, “is that for me?”
“Yes, the parents have prepared many meeting gifts for you, hidden in various corners of the room waiting for you to find them.”
The gift box was nicely packed and wrapped, with many model parts placed inside. A concept diagram on the side showed that a cloud palace could be put together from these parts after scale reduction.
The more he looked at the concept drawing, the more familiar it looked, but he could not recall where he had seen it before. Animation?
Wen Xingze put his hands on it, and it only took half a minute from getting started to giving up: “I will work on this for a whole year.”
Foreman said, “We will prepare it for you.”
In the next second, the door of the presidential suite opened and Manli’s CEO led a dozen suited executives in and nodded to Wen Xingze.
After the CEO projected the model on the wall for a short meeting, the executives rolled up their sleeves and started working without saying a word, only occasionally whispering to each other.
Half an hour later, the door opened again, and the executives came out in a line.
Leaving the assembled model of the palace was left in place.
Wen Xingze: “……”
This, Wen Xingze would like to say that this is not necessary, but he really do not know where to start.
That model is really big, a meter and a half high, and the details are also exquisitely done. Wen Xingze had to take a step back to see the full picture of the ‘palace’.
The overall style is very much like the ancient Greek temple, the dome is very high, the base is silver-white, as if sitting on top of a snowy mountain. The door of the model also can be pushed open, it was filled with gold, onyx, pearls …… countless gold and silver jewelry.
Next to the palace, the dragon is sleeping with its wings closed.
It seems to be guarding the palace, but the posture is like a pilgrimage. The dragon prostrated under the throne, bathed in the light of the sky
Wen Xingze reached out and touched the tip of the dragon’s nose.
At this time, he was the only one left in the whole empty room. He closed his eyes and heard the sound of the waiters pushing the food carts passing by, the sound of cicadas and traffic, the unique sound of the city in the summer, all far away.
It was as if the wind in the deserted snow was shouting and hurrying in his ears.
It was not long after he started playing “Desolation”. [t/n: the game]
That winter, Wen Xingze and the dragons were getting desperate. The dragons were huddled in their caves, shielding their only king under their wings.
Unable to forage for food in winter, they had to survive the longest harsh winter ever with the little food they had left.
Until the first day of spring. When Wen Xingze got up in the morning, he saw the seeds they had planted before winter had broken through the permafrost for thousands of years and taken root and sprouted.
It was like a miracle.
It was the only ray of life on this dying planet. Then from the seeds to the farmland and tribes, gradually there were traders from foreign planets coming and going to trade, and Wen Xingze accompanied the planet back from the dead.
Before leaving, he asked the dragon clan what building they wanted most on this land.
And without hesitation, the dragons replied, “A palace.”
— “In the Dragon Star, Your Majesty’s palace, to be very high, so high that no cloud can cover it above the vault of the sky, so high that it can be seen at a glance from the capital star.”
So the palace was built.
The dragons love money like thay love there life, but at this time, they didp not hesitate at all to spend their treasure. Gold walls, jade bricks and glazed tiles, they built a very high and tall palace at the top of the sacred mountain of the Dragon Clan, the Kanka Mountains.
The day it was built was also the day Wen Xingze was about to leave.
It was a palace built for him, but he stayed only one night. unable to go into his bedroom, he slept by the floor-to-ceiling windows, leaving only the windows open.
Thousands of giant dragons lay crowded and clustered outside the palace; they were so big that they lay all over the peak of Kanka Mountain. The dragons still had the habit of raising one wing slightly in their sleep, the position they had once used to protect Wen Xingze in the cave.
When Wen Xingze left by starship the next day, no dragons came to see him off, they were not good at parting. And that night, Wen Xingze received a delivery, a string of oddly shaped bracelet.
The bracelet is made of small round pieces of different color stone strung together, shiny like shellfish, but uneven and patterned.
It was the scales at the heart of the dragon race.
The palace was built really high, but it could not be seen through the atmosphere, let alone the capital star. But for countless days and nights afterwards, when Wen Xingze looked up at the Dragon Star from the Capital Star, it was as if he could actually see it.
The giant dragon soared beside the throne, bathed in the light of the sky, waiting for the return of it’s master.
Through the clouds, through the sky.
Through immeasurable distances and the long winds of eternity.
……..
His memory returned.
Wen Xingze let out a soft breath.
It turned out that they were all real.
The indoor circular projection is turned on at some point, with the familiar snow-capped mountains in the background and the wind whistling.
Several large faces scrambled to the camera, like elders learning to use their cell phones to talk to children for the first time, in an excited and thrilled tone.
“Your Majesty! Remember me, I’m Aster, I flew with you before-” The golden dragon also tried to turn around to show the scales on his back, but was pushed away by the silver dragon Will.
Will is a slow person. Wen Xingze can see that will have been fidgeting for a while, but still stuttered when speaking.
“I, I, I am Will. How are you there? I miss you… No, I really want you to be happy this time. I designed the plane this time, I, I, I…”
“Will, you’re wasting too much time!” A dragon yelled from behind, “Didn’t we say ten seconds per dragon? Everyone is still lined up!”
After Will, the silver dragon, came Emerald dragon.
Jade, a rare female dragon, stared blankly at the camera for three seconds before suddenly turning her face away. Wen Xingze saw her raise her wings to wipe the corners of her eyes.
“ Jade, why are you chirping, you’re obviously happy,” another dragon in the queue behind snorted, having forgotten that Emerald was originally a female dragon, and deliberately said loudly, “Your Majesty, you don’t have to care about us, we’re all fine.”
Wen Xingze: “……” He lied, he was clearly about to cry himself.
“I want to say one thing.”
After Wen Xingze finished this sentence, the camera side was suddenly quiet.
The dragons all have big eyes. Wen Xingze looked at the big round and nervous eyes, and suddenly wanted to laugh a little, so he could not help it.
He looked at the dragons.
Vivid and real.
Not at all like virtual modeling, much less like any AI system.
So he wasn’t the only one who was fully dedicated to it, and the days and nights he experienced were more than just his own wishful thinking.
There shouldn’t be anything more exciting than this.
“I’m sorry I haven’t visited you guys on Lonestar more often. And thank you …… all for being true,” Wen Xingze said, “I’m done, now you can start crying.”
Three seconds of silence followed.
Decibels enough to be recorded in the history books of the cry, resounded throughout the Kanka Mountains.
The giant dragons: “…… wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”
At the same time.
A high-end residential area not far away from Manli, the top floor.
Chi Yan rolled up his sleeves, holding the tablet with slender fingers, the shadows spilling from the bookshelf residing at his eyebrows.
He has a high nose, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, the screen fluorescent blue light reflected in the lenses, adding a touch of indifference to the sense of awe.
The sound of the dragons’ loud cries came from the Bluetooth stereo.
Side crying also with hiccups, now and then spewing out a snotty fire.
Chi Yan: “……”
He put down the tablet and turned to pick up the phone placed aside.
The dialogue box is still blank, staying at just added friends successfully when the system sent.
[you have passed your friend verification, now you can start chatting.]
The man’s eyebrows knitted up barely visibly.
