Chapter 126: Heading to the Divine Glory Empire (Part Two)

“With Number Eighteen on Base Star and Monica there, I don’t think any accidents will happen.”

Lei Yaotian mumbled to himself, as if comforting himself in a low voice.

“Don’t worry at all. Everything is under control.”

Wangcai assured Lei Yaotian again.

Lei Yaotian’s gaze looked out of the corridor window toward outer space, into the endless deep.

In this part of the starry sky, a few planets stood sparsely around. At a glance, these planets were clearly not suitable for living, because they appeared dark red or bluish-green. Without even imagining, one knew that the environment on such planets was very harsh.

“Did you understand all of Elder Mensa’s materials?”

Wangcai nodded. “I’ve read them all, and even made some improvements with Elder Mensa. It’s enough to remove any suspicion about us. Young Master, you don’t need to worry about this.”

“Then how is your progress in learning the language of the Divine Glory Empire?” Lei Yaotian asked again.

Wangcai smiled and replied, “Instead of worrying about me, Young Master, you should worry about yourself. You see, I am an Intelligent Lifeform. I can store that knowledge in my program. On the contrary, I’m a bit worried about you, Young Master…”

Uh!

Lei Yaotian froze for a moment, then understood.

Right, worrying about Wangcai was completely unnecessary. He was an Intelligent Lifeform after all; learning this stuff definitely gave him an advantage.

He laughed awkwardly. “I actually forgot about that.”

“Honestly, Young Master, how is your progress in learning the Empire’s writing?”

Lei Yaotian shook his head with a bitter smile. “After learning for several months, I’ve only grasped a little. Communicating with the language is fine, but writing characters is a bit difficult for me.”

Wangcai thought it made sense; the Young Master was different from him after all.

“Then Young Master, you should practice more in the future. Only then can you truly blend in. Besides, Elder Mensa and I plan for you to enter the Divine Glory Empire’s military academy for studies after you inherit Baronet Leipengte’s position.”

“I still have to go to school!”

Lei Yaotian almost jumped up.

He thought about himself, a guy almost thirty years old. Even though he had mutated and now looked like a teenager, the idea of going to school was just ridiculous.

But looking at Wangcai’s very serious expression, Lei Yaotian knew this was no joke.

“How could you think of making me go to school!”

Lei Yaotian felt quite helpless.

“Only by going to school, Young Master, can you truly learn some knowledge systematically. Of course, as your follower, I can also enter the academy. Your goal is to gain knowledge and then blend in. My main purpose is to learn their strategies, then send this knowledge back to the base to teach Artificial Humans like Tom who have intelligence.”

“So that’s your plan.” Lei Yaotian understood.

“Yes, Young Master.” Wangcai walked to Lei Yaotian’s side and stood still, his gaze also looking out the window into outer space.

“We must nurture those Artificial Humans because they are our own resources. Compared to the beings outside, they are more worthy of our trust. But the pity is, even though these Artificial Humans have intelligence, they don’t have relevant knowledge, so they can’t bear important tasks. This is something we must change, so Elder Mensa and I made this plan.”

Wangcai’s words made sense, but Lei Yaotian worried whether those Artificial Humans could learn well.

“Are you sure Artificial Humans like Tom Cruise can learn the strategies and tactics of the Great Cosmic Era?”

Wangcai nodded. “Don’t look down on them. Based on my own experience and memories, I’ve already transferred a lot of knowledge to them. I found their enthusiasm for learning is very high, and they absorb knowledge quickly and are very smart.”

“There’s such a thing? It seems you discovered they were unusual early on?” Hearing Wangcai say this, Lei Yaotian caught a hint of something.

“Sorry, Young Master. When we left the Asteroid, I already felt Tom Cruise wasn’t quite right. But at that time, I was afraid reporting to you would make you worry, so I didn’t report my suspicions for you to know. And I also took the chance to teach him a bit, which confirmed my suspicion.”

As for Wangcai not reporting to him, Lei Yaotian wasn’t angry and understood.

Because Lei Yaotian knew his own personality; if Wangcai had told him back then, it would have truly made him restless and uneasy, just as Wangcai said.

After all, Lei Yaotian was fundamentally a modern person. When facing unknown things, he would still feel quite fearful.

Having been an ordinary modern person for nearly thirty years, it wasn’t realistic to expect him to accept everything all at once.

“Also, regarding Artificial Humans like Tom Cruise, I’ve more or less examined their Loyalty Level toward you. No problems were found. Instead, what I worry about are Heavy Engineering Robots like 9527. After all, I can’t grasp their Loyalty Level.”

“What? You can’t control their Core Program?” Hearing this, Lei Yaotian asked puzzled.

On Wangcai’s chubby face, a helpless expression appeared.

“9527 has mutated. Its program has transformed into a mass of dark blue flame-like substance. I haven’t encountered such a substance before, so I can’t master it. Therefore, I haven’t acted rashly and have been observing its actions all along.”

Wangcai explained to Lei Yaotian.

“Over the past six months, I found that besides liking to think, it hasn’t taken any out-of-line actions. So I gradually became less worried. Also, you and I leaving the base gives it a chance to reveal its flaws, to see if it’s truly worthy of our trust.”

Sigh…

Lei Yaotian let out a deep sigh.

“Why are all the guys around me such weirdos.” Lei Yaotian thought to himself.

“Number Eighteen is mainly responsible for monitoring 9527’s actions. If it dares to make any unusual moves, I’ve authorized Number Eighteen to deploy all forces to eliminate it immediately.” As Wangcai said this, a fierce look appeared on his face.

This made the originally quite likable chubby guy look as scary as a monster ready to devour its prey.

“If, I mean if.” Lei Yaotian looked seriously at Wangcai. “If that 9527 shows any unusual movement, can Tom and Monica handle this guy? You know, he’s the Leader of those Heavy Engineering Robots.”

Actually, Lei Yaotian really wanted to say, “Just destroy it now!” After all, in Lei Yaotian’s view, nipping the bud in the cradle was the most correct choice.

But looking at Wangcai’s face full of little freckles, Lei Yaotian felt this guy probably had other plans.

“Young Master, I think you shouldn’t get too worked up. I said, everything is under control.” Wangcai raised his hand, fingers spread open, then suddenly clenched into a fist.

“Since you’re so confident, then I won’t ask more. With a Steward like you, I think I can rest easy.”

Since Wangcai had his own plans, Lei Yaotian was happy to go along.

After all, he had the Dimensional Trading Device in hand. Even if 9527 made any strange moves, it probably couldn’t cause big trouble. Moreover, he had already left Base Star.

“Young Master, after entering the Divine Glory Empire, your identity will be the posthumous child of Baronet Leipengte. And your mother was the Queen of the Saiya Tribe in the ‘Stellar Civilization’. You were raised by your grandfather. Some time ago, before your grandfather passed away, he told you about your Father. He also entrusted the Saiya Tribe to you. To find your Father’s homeland, and to prevent your tribespeople from suffering the harm of war, you led all your tribespeople from the southeastern universe into the Barren Star Domain. There, under harsh conditions, you settled your tribespeople. And you, carrying your Father’s remains, want to return to his homeland, to find your own ‘roots’…”

While the Space Carrier’s Jump Program was cooling down, Wangcai began telling Lei Yaotian the lies he and Mensa had revised.

As Lei Yaotian listened, the corner of his eye twitched.

“Saiya Tribe, isn’t that just Saiyans? In this universe, am I going to create the Saiyan species?”

Lei Yaotian found it a bit unbelievable.

“Why call it the Saiya Tribe?” Lei Yaotian interrupted Wangcai’s explanation.

“Young Master, it’s just a name. Why fuss over it? Anyway, these Artificial Humans will eventually need to be injected with Saiyan Genes. By that time, won’t they be Saiyans anyway…” Wangcai stared blankly at Lei Yaotian as he spoke.

“Forget it, it’s up to you. Like you said, it’s just a name.” Lei Yaotian felt he didn’t need to dwell on this issue.

…

Time passed bit by bit. Wangcai explained all the stories he and Elder Mensa had planned to Lei Yaotian. He let Lei Yaotian digest it all properly, so that after arriving in the Divine Glory Empire, he could follow this story accordingly.

“Shhhhh~~”

The Command Room door opened, and a male Artificial Human walked in.

“Commander! The Jump Program cooling is complete! It can be activated again!”

Wangcai nodded, then turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.

“Young Master, let’s go in. The Jump Program will be activated again soon; not taking safety measures is not okay.”

Then the two entered the Command Room, went to their respective seats, sat down, put on protective gear, and secured themselves in their seats.

“Wangcai, besides the Mecha Soldiers on the Warship, do I have any other protective forces?”

Lei Yaotian thought to himself: “When I arrive within the Divine Glory Empire’s borders, if I go out shopping, I can’t possibly bring over two hundred thousand Mecha Warriors, right? This isn’t war…”

Wangcai gave Lei Yaotian a ‘don’t worry’ look and said, “Besides Audrey, I’ve successfully created six more Gene Warriors recently. They are much more obedient than Audrey. And they have no problems with communication. They will be responsible for our safety in the Divine Glory Empire.”

Hearing Wangcai say this, Lei Yaotian felt relieved.

“Long-distance Jump Program activating. Countdown: 10, 9, 8…”

Bzz~ Bzz~ Bzz~ ~

The surroundings distorted. The Space Carrier began its long-distance jump again.
