Chapter 263 Multi-layer Game
No wonder Max has no other serious friends besides Edwin, and people of similar status to Max no longer play with him.
His status was not as high as Max's, and he got it all through flattery, so he was too lazy to get involved.
"And the credit for the origin of the Xinhe virus has been erased..." Having said that, Max looked at Li Yu resentfully.
Li Yu pointed out Dark Star, so there was naturally no Max involved, at least no credit left on paper.
Ignoring Mark's gaze, Li Yu asked, "What happened to my emergency order?"
"There is such an order, but it is not urgent." Max said with a little envy:
"The military completed the capture of Kaletes not long ago and has sent him to the laboratory for genetic modification. They need some of your genetic characteristics to be used to modify him in order to avoid rejection."
"Klein just happened to tell me that you were in trouble, so he used this as an excuse to issue an emergency order."
Li Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, the A-level life form was finally approaching.
In a good mood, he patted Max on the shoulder and said, "Boss, I will help you wash away the title of 'the shame of the second generation'."
"Thank you very much." Max forced a smile and didn't take Li Yu's words to heart.
Li Yu thought about it and went straight to the Zhuxing Palace.
"Boss, where are you going? The military laboratory is not in that direction." Marx asked puzzledly.
"Let's go find His Highness Klein first." Li Yu replied.
Max looked strange: "You are not active in becoming an A-level life form, but you are going to find Klein directly?"
"It seems that the recent rumors have some basis for discovery."
Hearing this, Li Yu paused and frowned, "What rumors?"
"It's just... Clay had a falling out with Horus because of you fighting against Queen Vimala. Horus hasn't been with her recently." Mark explained, with a hint of sarcasm:
“Some people also say that Klein has taken a fancy to you, tsk tsk…”
Li Yu immediately felt something was wrong when he heard this: "Who spread all this?"
Max was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but said, "Fuck, is it true?"
Li Yu did not deny it, but asked who spread it, which was enough to prove some problems.
"Are you sure you want to know?" Li Yu glanced at him.
"This..." Although Max was curious, he shuddered when he thought of Vimala's cold eyes and shook his head: "Forget it..."
According to Max, this was a rumor that had only recently spread among the upper echelons of Guixing. Many people were laughing at the joke and teasing Klein for falling in love with a "mud-legged peasant."
This is aimed at Klein... and it also involves him, Li Yu pondered.
On the journey to Klein Palace, Li Yu learned a lot of information from Max.
Although he was away for a short time, a lot of interesting things happened.
The mermaid princess left her home planet and went to another civilization. It was said that the civilization had just abolished the freedom of abortion for female creatures, which triggered large-scale protests. They urgently needed a person with interstellar reputation to speak for them.
Also, Horus has been in the spotlight recently because he was attacked for no reason by the soldiers of the Star Forge Palace.
"Being attacked for no reason?" Li Yu paused slightly, with a smile on his face.
"Yeah..." Max said excitedly: "You don't know, this is just the beginning. During this period of time, Horus was attacked eight times in total, and they were all ordinary people with no strength."
"After investigation, it was discovered that they were all good people in the eyes of their neighbors and friends, but they attacked Horus for no reason."
"Haha... it means Horus is a bad guy." Li Yu said with a smile, and then asked: "How to deal with those attackers?"
"I didn't do anything..." Max explained, "Strictly speaking, it wasn't an attack. I just threw some things that had no lethality at Horus."
"That is, he was detained for a few days and then released."
"Horus is so depressed that he hasn't gone out in the past few days."
"Haha..." Li Yu felt secretly happy when he thought of that old bastard's depressed face.
Klein naturally knew that Li Yu had returned to Guixing, but he didn't expect him to come directly to him.
"What happened? Why are you so happy?" Klein asked, feeling happy when he saw Li Yu grinning.
"Ahem..." Li Yu coughed twice, forgetting to pay attention to his expression. He shook his head and said, "Nothing, I just feel sad for Lord Horus' recent experience."
“Teacher Horus…” Klein’s expression was strange, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise: “I’ve been a bit unlucky recently.”
"Have you been to the military laboratory?" Klein was a little confused. It seemed that no matter how he calculated the time, he would never make it.
"No..." Li Yu said as if it was a matter of course: "I will come to you directly after I come back. I will go to the laboratory later. There is no rush ."
Klein was slightly stunned and lowered his head in panic. His slender fingers slid back and forth on the holographic screen, as if he was looking for some information. His hair blocked her delicate face, so his expression could not be seen clearly.
“Your Highness…” Li Yu saw that Klein was slow to get to the point, so he could only hint, “…plan…”
Klein suddenly realized and felt a little disappointed. After sorting out his feelings, he looked up and said, "The top management has approved the reward."
"Whoever solves the Xinhe virus will be awarded the right to use the large laboratory of the Sword Bearer Medal for ten years, as well as a reward of 100 billion star coins..."
There are many other detailed rewards, but they pale in comparison to the three main rewards.
[Sword Bearer Medal] Guixing's high-level medal is also extremely precious. This medal has not been awarded in nearly fifty years.
A large laboratory refers to a laboratory that can independently research complete branches of science and technology.
Such rewards are indeed generous to a certain extent, and you will never get this level of compensation through normal transactions.
Li Yu only cares about large laboratories. This thing is too expensive and cannot be operated without trillions of star coins.
With the help of this large laboratory, Payton can study advanced genes obtained from various worlds.
Although the right to use it is only for ten years, now that it is in his hands...it's hard to say.
“But this is too much. If you’re alone, you’ll easily become a public enemy,” Klein added.
She suggested issuing a reward, and Li Yu came up with a solution. This was too fake and too much.
Li Yu nodded and said, "I've thought about it. Bringing Max along with him, with the help of General Ethel, we should be able to share some of the firepower."
"This is best..." Klein thought for a moment and agreed with Li Yu's suggestion.
Klein did not ask too many questions about the Ordos incident. Perhaps she guessed something, but she just glossed over it.
“One more thing…” Klein bit his lip subconsciously, but then let it go.
This was her habit when she was nervous in the past, but she hasn't done this for a long time since she turned evil.
"Someone has been spreading...rumors recently. They should be targeting me. I just had the intention of entering the decision-making level, and someone is targeting me."
Li Yu looked calm and nodded, "Max has already told me, if there is anything you need me to do, just tell me."
Klein looked out the window, his eyes moving, and whispered, "I just feel embarrassed to have involved you in this."
Li Yu...why is this woman so hesitant?
The two chatted for another half an hour, strengthening their relationship and making their friendship more stable so that it wouldn't be capsized someday.
Max squatted at the entrance of the Star Casting Palace, looking left and right, taking in all the beauty.
Although with his status and position, many girls would come to him if he just made a flirt, this kind of appreciation always made his heart beat fast.
"Don't look anymore, let's go..." Li Yu woke Max up.
"Oh..." Max was still unsatisfied and said subconsciously: "The military laboratory is ready. I have never seen someone like you who is still hesitating when the chance to become an A-level life form is right in front of you."
"Don't go to the laboratory, go find your father first." Li Yu shook his head.
"Looking for my father?" Max scratched his head and said hesitantly, "Why look for my father? He's been a bit anxious lately."
"Sword Bearer Badge...do you want it?" Li Yu glanced at him.
"Sword Bearer Badge!?" Max screamed, attracting the attention of nearby passers-by and their puzzled looks.
"Keep your voice down!" Li Yu scolded.
"Boss, is this true... Don't lie to me, my little heart can't stand the deception." Max held Li Yu tightly.
"If you want it, stop talking nonsense and take me to find your father."
Although Max was suspicious, he thought there was nothing to lose, so he took Li Yu to find Ethel.
Ethel is in a high position of power, and not everyone can meet him easily. If it weren't for Max, the "traitor", Li Yu probably wouldn't be able to meet him, and a series of complicated procedures would be required.
Brought to the study by Ethel's guards, Ethel was wearing casual clothes and had a frown on his face.
According to Max, Ethel has been summoned by Tigor frequently in the past few days, and it is unknown what they are discussing.
"Your gene chain is almost ready. What do you want to talk to me about?" Ethel's tone was not polite. His eyes fell on Max, who was like a quail next to him, and his brows frowned even deeper.
Li Yu didn't care about Ethel's tone and said straight to the point: "I have a sword bearer badge that I want to give to Max."
As soon as these words came out, Aixel stood up directly, and an unimaginable aura rushed towards him, making Li Yu feel as if he was facing the top predator in the universe.
There was a golden light flashing in his eyes as he glanced at the guards beside him.
The guard understood what Athel meant, lowered his head and clicked a few times on the smart terminal, then nodded to Athel and walked out.
Aisel's tone was deep, staring at Li Yu: "So Klein's proposal was ultimately reflected on you, what a calculation..."
"You misunderstood..." Li Yu shook his head: "I just learned about this too. My friend is from the Different Dimension Camp, a powerful research institute. They just found out a solution and told me not long ago."
"Although I am willing to solve the problem for Guixing, the two things are too coincidental and may be misunderstood by someone with ulterior motives, so I come to seek your help."
Ethel sneered, and naturally did not believe Li Yu's words. He narrowed his eyes slightly and mentioned another thing:
"Soon after you pointed the finger at DarkStar, DarkStar announced through its voice channel that you were the one who spread the virus. Many people scoffed at this and thought that he was taking revenge out of rage."
"Now it seems... that's not the case."
Li Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a deep voice, "I only know that it was the Xingyao Empire that spread the virus on Guixing."
Ethel was silent, his eyes fell on Li Yu. Li Yu was not afraid and looked at him calmly.
For Aysel, although he loves Guixing, this does not conflict with pursuing his own interests.
Max was a little confused. What were his father and Li Yu talking about? He couldn't understand.
"This is too bad, and the way they eat is too ugly..." Ethel shook his head, but looked at Max. The Sword Bearer Medal was enough to wipe out the stain on Max, and...
He gritted his teeth and added: "We have to find someone else to share this medal."
Li Yu laughed immediately. Ethel was just too proud to let go of her pride.
This matter is indeed rather bad. It feels like there is a solution but they are not offering it, but are just trying to grab the benefits. It's not a good way to look at it.
Li Yu hesitated for a moment and suggested, "How about Edwin?"
"Prince Cornell?" Ethel suddenly remembered that when Klein proposed the reward, Prince Cornell supported it.
I guess... after he knows this , his expression will probably be very interesting.
As for refusing the Order of the Swordbearer, Axel believed that Connor would not refuse.
Even if the three of them were awarded the Order of the Sword-Bearer together, it would be enough for Edwin and Max to gain considerable political capital.
Under normal circumstances, the chances of receiving a medal of this level are very rare, and even if there is one, it will not be awarded easily, as it will be delayed by other bigwigs.
This time, it was a rare collective approval, because no one thought that the solution would appear within Guixing.
As for whether the Xinhe virus could be solved, Aixel did not ask Li Yu too much.
Cheating Max and cheating Ethel are two completely different things.
The only thing that made him think more was Klein. If this matter was accomplished, he would be inclined to favor Klein to a great extent.
This is inevitable because Li Yu is Klein's man.
However... Klein is backed by Vimala, and this iron-blooded queen has a great influence...
Athel's eyes flickered... I don't know what he was thinking about.
…
"...You mean you have a solution to the Xinhe virus, but the top leaders will soon issue a reward..." After Max figured it out, he was confused.
Is it still possible to play like this?
Isn’t this…is this…the privatization of state-owned assets?
I'm so stupid.
Oh...it turns out I'm also a beneficiary, so it's okay.
Li Yu glanced at him like a fool and said, "Okay, stop being shocked. Go find Edwin and tell him about this."
"He is much smarter than you. He should understand what is going on. There is no need for me to go. I want to go to the military laboratory."
Max didn't hear Li Yu's teasing. He felt light-headed when he walked now. He nodded blankly. It was not until Li Yu left that he came to his senses and murmured in a low voice: "This boss really didn't admit his mistake ."
Although it may not sound good to say this out loud, the "shame of the second generation" has already been hung on my head. When the time comes, I will wear the medal on my chest and meet everyone with my head held high.
