Chapter 268: Titus' Invitation
Looking at the growth history of Li Yu that can be found, it can basically be summed up in one word - ruthless and profit-driven!
Whether it was directly choosing to kidnap emperors and nobles in order to survive on Tianhuang Star, or causing great destruction in the no-man's land.
And the activity tracks that could be were all accompanied by blood and gore.
When he became an A-level life form and completely came into the eyes of Guixing's top leaders, this information was no longer a secret.
His growth rate is astonishing, which has aroused the curiosity of many people, but basically everyone thinks that this will be a sharp sword.
At the same time...no one associates him with the word "loyalty".
Grade A...Klein is already a springboard that can give him the greatest help. The right thing to do now is to throw himself into Taitaste's arms in time.
Even if Li Yu abandoned Klein, no one would laugh at him. It was just a matter of interests.
But on the contrary, this guy refused, which surprised many people.
What else could Klein give him? Many people could only think of the ridiculous rumor not long ago - that Klein and Li Yu had a mutual affection for each other.
Perhaps Klein's greatest benefit is her identity as a princess. If she could really marry into the royal family of Star, it would be much more promising than joining Titus.
What a pity... If Li Yu really has this idea, there will be many people waiting to laugh at him. Royal scandals... haven't happened for a long time.
The information on paper made it difficult for them to truly understand Li Yu. Perhaps Hunter knew a little about Li Yu, but Mo Duo knew a little more.
As for the others... Li Yu could only laugh.
Max and Edwin were sent away mainly to inform him in advance about Tigor's summons.
According to Max, the review of the Meteorite Fleet is already more than halfway through, and no problems have been found so far. It will be completed in about three days.
Tigor summoned him at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon. In the morning, Tigor will give a video speech to all the citizens of Guixing.
An explanation will be given for the recent violent incidents on Guixing and the Xinhe virus issue, and a bounty will also be issued at that time.
Li Yu pondered for a while and found some photos of Tigor on the Internet. The ruler of Guixing looked very majestic.
After going through the possible conversations, Li Yu remembered to send a message to Kansa. He had nothing to do anyway, so he decided to see what had happened to Zijing.
"Zijing wants to start a separatist war..." Kansa's words really made Li Yu's heart skip a beat.
"Separatist War?" He repeated the word, stroking his chin, looking at Kansa with a strange look in his eyes: "You didn't start it, did you?"
"Let me make it clear that I am not yet capable of participating in such a major event. Don't even think about asking me to help you."
Are you kidding... Zijing is, after all, a large civilization supported by the Star Empire, with a territory covering dozens of star systems and extremely strong overall strength.
Kansa: “…”
He was a little speechless and explained: "I want to... but I don't have the ability to do that. I am Prince Sast."
Li Yu suddenly realized and couldn't help laughing: "I thought you were causing trouble by launching an anti-discrimination campaign."
Kansa seemed to be hesitant to speak, with a complicated expression... This made Li Yu's eyes slightly widen, and he had a guess: "It can't be related to the anti-discrimination movement."
"Yes..." Kansa said helplessly: "Because the amethyst core was intercepted by Sast, the radiation plan has been delayed."
“In addition, the anti-discrimination sneaker movement is getting more and more intense, and there are unknown forces fueling it.”
This matter was Kansa's life-saving talisman at the beginning, but later it became increasingly out of his control, and he himself was even dragged into it, unable to extricate himself.
Amethyst's radiation plan is to make the entire Amethyst race evolve into a species with amethyst on their foreheads.
But this requires the help of the amethyst core, but Sast intercepted the core.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Seven days ago...Prince Sast announced that he had removed the amethyst on his forehead and became a true 'Amethyst Man'. He also launched a liberation movement, demanding the removal of the amethyst on his forehead."
"This has directly triggered public opinion, and now many people have asked me to remove the purple crystal on my forehead as well."
"The Star Empire has no reaction to this?" Li Yu was a little puzzled: "A split amethyst should not be what the Star Empire expected."
"Maybe not in the past..." Kansa shook his head and sighed, "But now as Amethyst grows stronger, the top leaders have changed their minds. The Star Empire has expressed dissatisfaction many times, but the top leaders believe that given the current interstellar situation, the Empire will not take action against them."
"And now that external forces have entered the game, it is very likely to develop in an unpredictable direction."
Although the current interstellar situation seems peaceful on the surface, various confrontations are constantly taking place beneath the surface. The top civilizations are like sharks roaming around, and they will flock to wherever there is meat to eat.
The benefits that could be brought by splitting the amethyst were so huge that no one could resist.
"That's interesting..." Li Yu was happy to see it happen. He didn't have any good feelings towards either Amethyst or Prince Sast, so let them split up.
Kansa's eyes flickered. Li Yu stared at Kansa on the screen and said jokingly, "You contacted me not to let me in, right?"
"If I go in with my small body, I'm afraid I'll be crushed to pieces."
Kansa shook his head. He was not that stupid, even though Li Yu was a celebrity on Guixing Network some time ago.
But how could he not know that, although fame on the interstellar network was useful, it was not great enough to defy the will of heaven and earth.
Amethyst is also a huge creature. If the strength of each individual does not reach a certain level, it will definitely not play any role.
"If I go to Guixing, I hope you can protect me." Kansa's words were beyond Li Yu's expectations. He came here to find a way out.
Zijing's situation has become so bad that Li Yu's eyes flickered... but it seems to be the case.
With the Star Empire as its backer, it turned a blind eye. Various forces began to stir up trouble. Sast jumped into the lead and led the charge, causing chaos.
"I can bring a lot of resources..." Kansa hinted. Li Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "We are all friends. When the time comes, you can treat Guixing as your home."
Kansa held back what he was going to say next, and he might have thought it was Tigor who was talking to him.
After hanging up the call, the hunter who was slowly committing suicide raised his eyelids and glanced over: "This kid actually trusts you so much."
His own family might be doomed, but Kansa turned to Li Yu for a way out, which was enough to prove his trust in Li Yu.
"I saved him after all, it's not normal for him to trust me." Li Yu lay down in the high-end massage chair next to him and continued, "What do you think of Zijing?"
The hunter changed into a comfortable position, put the cowboy hat on his head, and said lazily: "It is the routine operation of the Star Empire to suppress disobedient dogs. In the end, the empire will take action to quell the dispute, but Zijing should be in a very bad situation at that time."
"That means the amethyst won't split..." Li Yu's body rose and fell along with the massage chair.
"It shouldn't be ..." The hunter thought for a moment and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it depends on how many resources those forces can take away."
After all, the Hunters are a high-level fleet of the Star Empire and are familiar with many of the Star Empire's operations.
"...In the past, what kind of forces would be involved in such things?" Li Yu was a little curious.
"Too much..." The hunter lifted the cowboy hat covering his face, not knowing whether he would be suffocated by the smell of his own hair oil.
"Returning Stars...Spiritualists...Holivias...even Reformers...and a large number of civilian forces..." The hunter briefly described several forces. The former was three of the four founding civilizations of the Civilization Alliance.
As for the last founding civilization, it has been in a bad state recently and has no ability to intervene.
When a whale dies, all things come to life, let alone a large civilization like Amethyst.
The hunter sighed a little: "The so-called universe is similar to the garbage dump of our Tianhuang Star. As long as there is any sign of decline, a large number of hyenas will rush over."
"This sentence..." Li Yu looked at the hunter with a strange expression, and said with emotion: "It's quite philosophical. I thought you were committing chronic suicide by lying down every day."
Putting the cowboy hat back on his head, the hunter was speechless, refused to communicate, and started his slow suicide again.
Li Yu originally wanted to lie down until tomorrow and experience the feeling of chronic suicide, but unfortunately Klein's call interrupted his plan.
"Your Highness..." Li Yu smiled gently and looked at the screen in front of him. Klein was sitting on a luxurious chair with nothing in front of him. His long legs crossed came into view.
Her slender white fingers supported her cheek, and her eyes seemed to be looking down at Li Yu, like a queen.
Why is this woman's temperament becoming more and more different, Li Yu muttered to himself. He remembered that when he first met Klein, she looked like a girl next door.
She asked in a lazy voice, as if casually: "Why didn't you tell me that you were leaving the experimental base?"
"I was just about to tell you." Li Yu remained calm, and the hunter gave him a contemptuous look.
Klein's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he snorted coldly, in a very low voice. If Li Yu had not become an A-level life form, he might not have been able to feel it.
“Come with me somewhere tomorrow…” Klein’s tone was full of unquestionableness and a little emotion?
"I'm going to see His Majesty Tigor tomorrow." Li Yu frowned.
"My business is in the morning, and you will go to see your father in the afternoon." Klein obviously knew about this and saw through Li Yu's evasive trick.
"This..." Li Yu seemed a little embarrassed: "Where to go?"
“Titus’s Banquet!” Klein’s tone was a little cold.
Li Yu's heart suddenly jumped, and he stared at Klein's delicate face. Could it be that this woman was so angry that she wanted to mess things up because I was poached?
I heard that Titus has a lot of powerful men under his command. Can I stop them all by myself?
“Have you seen enough?” Klein’s tone lacked any emotion.
Automatically ignoring these two sentences, Li Yu asked: "Your Highness, why are you going to Titus's banquet?"
Klein's tone was slightly deep. "Of course it was Titus' invitation. My elder brother... has only spoken to me a few times in these years, and this time he actually remembered to invite me to his party."
As long as it doesn't involve a fight... Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Although he rejected Titus' invitation , it didn't mean he would make an enemy of him.
Li Yu paused, and then said: "I invited you, why don't you go by yourself? It would be bad to bring me along."
Klein suddenly sneered, and looked at Li Yu, saying in an inexplicable tone: "Titus not only invited me, but also specifically asked me to take you there."
The crux of the problem turned out to be here... Li Yu suddenly realized. No wonder he always felt that Klein's mood was a little strange today.
She should also know that he rejected Dean Porto, but Titus still invited him. How could Klein be happy?
But why did Titus invite him? He wanted to recruit him. Was he so sincere? Or did he have other plans?
Klein urged, “Let’s go to Titus’ palace together tomorrow morning.”
Then she paused, looking a little embarrassed, with her long white legs in stark contrast to the black dress.
"I... won't treat you unfairly." This sentence was obviously a response to Li Yu's rejection of Dean Porto.
Klein knew that she did not have the resources to cultivate a Class A life form unless she asked her mother for help, but she was naturally unwilling to ask now.
In her opinion, Li Yu’s decision not to join Titus was a gesture of loyalty to her.
Li Yu smiled warmly and nodded, "Your Highness, this is what I should do."
Looking at Li Yu's smile, Klein hung up the call in a hurry.
"You really deserve to die..." The hunter couldn't help but sigh.
Poor Klein, he was played around by Li Yu.
The hunter reminded: "Have you ever thought about what you will do when Modo wakes up?"
"Klein and I are innocent. Why are you talking so much when you are just a nobody?" Li Yu warned, throwing out a golden arc of electricity.
It made the hunter shudder and twitch, but it did no harm.
The day passed with the hunters cursing.
Early the next morning, Li Yu took Klein's exclusive car to Titus' palace.
Six mechanical war horses pulled a dark golden carriage, which was carved with intricate patterns and royal patterns.
This royal car has an identification chip inside and enjoys many privileges here.
Titus' palace is not in the Star-Forging Palace, but on the satellite of the main star, which is enough to show his special status.
The mechanical warhorse spewed out blazing flames, soared into the sky, and accurately avoided all aerial vehicles.
The interior of the carriage uses space expansion technology, and is many times larger than it appears. The anti-gravity engine on the chassis emits a faint glow.
Li Yu and Klein sat opposite each other. The maid lowered her head in the corner, waiting for instructions. The atmosphere seemed a little quiet.
Klein wore a luxurious and exquisite black dress with golden silk embroidered on the hem.
"Your Highness...what is the main reason for this banquet?" Li Yu asked, having a rough idea in his mind.
“I’m not sure either…” Klein pondered, “Titus holds this kind of banquet from time to time. Only people with high status in various circles on Guixing can attend. There are even envoys from foreign civilizations.”
"It is very popular among the upper class of Guixing. Being able to attend Titus' banquet is almost a symbol of status."
