Chapter 4068 Princess Raphael, a gold digger?
This enormous spaceship, resembling a mobile, colossal church palace, is named "New Century Loulan Light"... naturally, it is an asset of the "Void Bank" and does not belong to any private individual.
However, the only people who can be mobilized in the entire [Science Side] are the regional presidents, or designated specialists who are approved by headquarters after being reported by the regional presidents.
Undoubtedly, [New Century Loulan Light] is at its peak in both defense and offense – after all, [Void Bank] is rich, really rich.
Therefore, after boarding the spaceship, Sheryl was basically not worried about safety on the road, as no space pirate would be so foolish as to deliberately run into her.
But at that moment, Miss Sheryl suddenly remembered a witch with whom she had a complicated relationship.
"Will that guy show up?"
The ascension of the new emperor in Abriel is a rare major event in the science faction... Given that witch's personality, she probably won't miss out on such a spectacle, right?
"That guy? Which guy?"
While tidying up Sherry's personal belongings, Miss Xizi couldn't help but ask curiously.
Sherry, who was standing in front of the curtain wall where she could see the Milky Way, casually turned her head and said, "It's nothing, I just thought of a lyric. If you're tired, go and rest early. I still need to write for a while."
Miss Xizi had no doubts upon hearing this, as she knew that Shirley was composing a new song in preparation for a performance.
The room prepared for them was a rather luxurious suite. After tidying up, Miss Xizi quietly returned to her own room.
For the hard-working masses, the most therapeutic moment of the day has finally arrived—lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, and then thinking about what to eat to reward themselves.
But it will soon become incurable.
Her personal communicator suddenly rang at this moment—thinking it was a message from the work group, Miss Xizi's face darkened instantly, and she opened it dejectedly, only to find that it was not from the company's exploitation.
Instead, it was a familiar yet unfamiliar message channel from someone she hadn't contacted in a long time... It came from her gambling, often-runaway father: Xin Shisan!
After hesitating for a moment, Xizi finally decided to click on it.
It wasn't real-time communication... Xin Shisan, that gambling addict, couldn't bear to use Voidwalking—it's super expensive, after all. He only used it to send emails, and mostly for borrowing money.
"What excuse will you use this time?"
Miss Xizi sneered inwardly.
"Daughter, I'm currently working for a big shot, and I might not be able to come back for a long time. I've put some money in a safe at the [Void Bank], the password is [*******]. Don't open it unless absolutely necessary. Lastly, remember to take care of yourself, don't worry, love you, Papa!"
Miss Xizi stared blankly at the email, recognizing every word she wrote, but unable to understand it when put together.
"No, Old Deng... what are you going to do?!"
Suddenly panicked, Miss Xizi disregarded the exorbitant cost of the Void Roaming service and immediately made the call.
However, I received a notification that the other party was not in the service area.
"Out of service area..."
The entire Void Signal Network covers the four major aspects of the Void, as well as the first node, the Void Sea, which is almost fully developed, and parts of the second node area...
I heard they're still building a third node, but it's unlikely to succeed. It's just empty talk, something the operators use to fleece people.
Of course, there may be situations where there is no signal in some private and secluded places.
"Xin Shisan, what are you doing? You haven't stepped into the [Primordial] Channel, have you..." Miss Xizi's heart pounded with anxiety as she yelled at the black screen of the communicator, "Xin Shisan, get back here!! Don't you have to pay back the money you borrowed from me? Don't be stupid, you don't have the ability! Isn't it better to be a useless, lazy, gambling addict?!"
Roaring is obviously useless.
Miss Xizi looked at Xin Shisan's message over and over again with a complicated expression—it was depressing.
……
[Primordial] Channel, Second Node, [Great Secret Realm].
It is a secret realm, but it is composed of countless secret realms of all sizes, randomly jumping between each other, without any trace, like a maze from which one can never escape.
However, thanks to the continuous exploration by predecessors, there are still safe routes to leave.
Xin Shisan put away the communicator, then took a deep breath, a resolute look flashing in his eyes—for a gambling addict, no opportunity to win back his losses would be missed.
But he still couldn't understand why Boss Gao Changgong would actually bring him along... It couldn't be because his sycophantic appearance suited the boss's taste, could it?
After leaving (escaping) the gambling city of Eslord, the big boss led him directly into the Great Secret Realm.
Currently, it is located in the [Great Secret Realm], in a highly developed area called [Blood Abyss], in a small stronghold established by an immortal powerhouse.
There are many similar strongholds in the [Blood Abyss]. In fact, in order to break through to the third node, many immortal powerhouses will directly establish themselves in the [Great Secret Realm] and build their families.
They have been here for quite some time.
Every day, the leader would go out alone, leaving himself at the base to wait.
Xin Shisan actually had countless opportunities to escape, but this aloof big shot was just too mysterious—he was even able to see the Golden Empress in the Golden Palace of the gambling city of Eslord and still leave safely.
This might be the closest Xin Shisan ever got to turning his life around, and he couldn't bear to give it up.
Finally, after waiting patiently for a while, the boss was about to leave the base, and from the information revealed, it seemed that he was going to enter an area that had not yet been discovered.
The value of an unexplored area within a [Great Secret Realm] is almost unimaginable to Xin Shisan—even a tiny bit leaked out from between the fingers of a powerful figure would be enough to turn his life around!
You made the right bet!!
"Is the matter settled?" Gao Changgong glanced at Xin Shisan casually.
"It's nothing important," Xin Shisan chuckled. "Just leaving a message for my family... Boss, I'm ready and can leave anytime."
Gao Changgong said calmly, "You have family?"
Xin Shisan said embarrassedly, "I was originally from a small world, but I spent most of my life wandering in the void without achieving anything. I was disheartened (driven by lust), so I followed the example of my predecessors and started to have offspring... But I didn't raise any outstanding offspring. Instead, with the burden of a family, the road became even more difficult. I could only accept the reality that I was really mediocre. Every day I was busy making a living and had long forgotten what I was like when I first came here... The only consolation is that I have a daughter who is quite well-behaved."
Gao Changgong remained noncommittal, offering no comment, and walked straight ahead.
At that time, in front of the Golden Palace, Xin Shisan was able to keep up with his own pace—although he wasn't walking very fast, he was no longer considered "mediocre".
"Boss, wait for me!" Xin Shisan hurriedly caught up and asked, forcing himself to speak, "Can you tell me what area we're supposed to explore?"
"Secret Realm, [Mountain and Sea Thunder Marsh]".
【Shan Hai Lei Ze】?
Xin Shisan was overjoyed; it was indeed a new area he had never heard of before!
—We've struck it rich!

【Ether Galaxy】
Outside the governor's mansion, although waves of enthusiastic people cleared them out, there were still many people—Princess Raphael had clearly become the most popular person in the entire [Ether Galaxy].
This princess, who had been living away from the royal family, not only lacked any of the arrogance of royalty, but was also very approachable. She even took the initiative to come out of the governor's mansion to greet him warmly.
An old lady fell down, and Her Highness the Princess even came to help her up herself. Do you dare to help her up?
The number of "oxygen-deficient girls" trying to catch a glimpse of Princess Raphael is increasing every day.
Princess Raphael even issued an order, commanding the government of the Ether Galaxy to reduce taxes by 3% over the next five years and to establish a brand new foundation, the Ponzi Foundation, for various livelihood, education, and poverty alleviation causes!
Today, the Ponzi Foundation was officially established, and it will continue to raise funds in the future...
"...Why is it called 'Pang's Family'?"
"Pang means vast, and Shi refers to each and every one of us, the nameless ones! Her Highness said that we, the vast masses, are all great! We should all work together! The ocean of the people is boundless!"
"I see. As expected of Her Highness the Princess, those who returned from the outer perimeter are truly different!"
blah blah blah.
In front of the foundation building, Princess Raphael was holding a ribbon-cutting ceremony... Those present were naturally the dignitaries from [Ether Star].
"An attack on such a large-scale event would have disastrous consequences. Everyone must be on high alert and not let any suspicious person get away!"
Hamhamk, the governor's son and currently the captain of Princess Raphael's guard (a self-organized group), is currently reprimanding the guards.
"He has quite the presence! No wonder he's my son; he has the bearing of a great nobleman!"
Governor Marco Polo nodded with a comforting smile. Although he had not produced many descendants, each one was a masterpiece—Ham Hank being the finest of the fine.
“I also have high hopes for young master Hamhamk!” Xie Nan agreed wholeheartedly. “Only someone like you, Governor, could create such a high-quality talent.”
"Oh? Lord Nan thinks so too?" Governor Marco Polo felt as if he had taken a stimulant, and his whole body felt comfortable. "I think Lord Nan's genes are quite good! If there's a chance, we might as well exchange ideas!"
He already knew Miss Nan's identity—Princess Raphael's tutor.
In the future, they will most likely be able to gain imperial nobility by virtue of being the princess's alter ego—at least within the princess's territory, they will hold significant influence and thus be highly valuable to win over.
Gene exchange is, of course, for the purpose of further solidifying relationships of mutual benefit!
But let's not rush, let's see what Ms. Nan's attitude is first.
"Of course, of course." Xie Nan chuckled and said with a smile, "Governor, the princess has established a foundation for the great cause of people's livelihood on [Ether Star]. As the governor of [Ether Star], shouldn't you also show your support?"
Marco Polo slapped his forehead. "Miss Nan reminded me! I almost messed up something important. I really need to set a good example!"
"I've already prepared it for you. This is the subscription form," Xie Nan said with a slight smile. "Moreover, it's the foundation's first subscription form. I plan to frame it and place it directly in the foundation's lobby for future generations to admire!"
Governor Marco Polo immediately snorted, "Can we sign here? It's only 10 billion, no problem at all!!"
"Governor, you are truly magnanimous!" Miss Nan took a deep breath and said with great admiration, "As expected of the governor of [Ether Star], you took out 10 points of small world essence without even blinking. I really admire you, Lord Marco Polo!"
"...Huh?" Governor Marco Polo's breath hitched. "A small world? What?"
His first instinct was to snatch the contract back from Xie Nan's hands.
Ah Nan suddenly turned around with a nimble movement and shouted, "Governor Marco Polo, for the foundation's cause, support 10 billion Small World Origin Units!!! Applause!!!"
hiss--!!!
In an instant, countless eyes in the hall turned to him, some in shock, some in disbelief...
Click, click, click! Flash!
"As expected of Governor Marco Polo, he truly comes from an old, wealthy family..."
"Does this mean they're going to vote entirely for Princess Raphael? Isn't the governor's family a liberal faction?"
"Perhaps some news has leaked out from our ancestral planet?"
"Shall we invest some too? Putting aside whether we can gain some fame, the dividends are real, after all, it's backed by a royal princess... How about we invest more?"
"I need a subscription agreement!!"
"Three portions!!"
……
Governor Marco Polo's face instantly darkened—damn it, he'd been tricked by this inferior gene with only a head and no chest!
When he looked at that document, it clearly stated that it was only for the 10 billion empire [Faro]. How could it suddenly become a small world unit?
snort!
The governor, amidst the bustling crowd, flicked his sleeves, yet still maintained his semblance of composure, and turned to leave... He could only swallow this bitter pill for the time being.
Because he couldn't tell whether this was Princess Raphael's intention... or if it was just Miss Nan interfering.
“If it’s just a political donation to Princess Raphael, I can afford 10 billion!” Governor Marco Polo narrowed his eyes, looking at Miss Nan surrounded by people in the crowd. “But you’d better not let me find out it’s you…”
"Father!"
Ham Hank strode over, beaming with pride... He had become the captain of the prince's guard, and recently he had been enjoying unparalleled prominence in the elite circles!
Governor Marco Polo frowned. "What are you holding in your hand?"
"This?" Hamhamk said instinctively, "This is a piece of jewelry that I specially commissioned a master to design and create, to present to the princess! It cost ten million small world origin units!"
Governor Marco Polo's lips twitched slightly for a moment.
Hamham said to himself, "Father, do you think it can impress Her Highness the Princess? By the way, Father, I'm running low on funds. Could you give me 2 million first? Miss Nan hinted that Her Highness is a chosen one, and if I want anything to happen, I absolutely cannot be stingy... I think that makes a lot of sense! We are also a powerful family, and we should show the spirit of a powerful family! If we want to match the royal family, we really can't be stingy!"
Governor Marco Polo's blood pressure immediately spiked.
—Miss Nan?!
—And even hinted at it?!
"How the hell could I have created such an idiot like you?!"
"Father?" Ham Hank was taken aback.
Snapped--! !
The governor immediately slapped him in the face, "You won't get your monthly allowance for the next ten years!"
"dad???"
Snapped--!
"Get out!"
—M's so-called royal princess, she's just a gold digger!
