Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1343 Clues (5200+ words)

Yang Bo, transformed into Prince Holden, stood atop the castle.

Look at the cheering players below.

Yang Bo watched these gamers' live streams.

It must be said that these gamers did a lot of research, because they are very skilled in sailing.

However, players in the Empire have much better control than players in the Alliance.

Because the game players in Empire use neural connections.

These gamers were not robbing a merchant ship.

Instead, they encountered a pirate ship on the vast ocean.

This pirate ship has just been involved in a raid.

They are returning home with a full load.

Because these pirate ships were together when they raided, they would separate and go home after they had looted.

Then there was this unlucky ship that happened to run into these gamers.

These gamers modified the sailing warships.

Furthermore, the pirates' warships were fully loaded, so the pirates had no way to escape.

As for being more ruthless!

Is there anything more ruthless than gamers?

Moreover, these gamers' equipment completely outclasses those pirates.

Small catapults, giant crossbows, and rockets.

Then came the boarding action.

These wounded pirates were then used as test subjects by game players.

These gamers have been secretly working on antibiotics and performing surgeries.

And I must say, it looks quite professional.

The pirate prisoners were the ones who suffered the most, because different experiments had to be conducted on different injuries!
Then the group of gamers waiting at home saw the spoils of the returning players and became extremely envious.

They quickly tidied up and repaired the warships, prepared sufficient supplies, and then set off without hesitation.

The remaining pirate ship was damaged.

Yang Bo, in his capacity as Prince Holden, then issued orders to form a new raiding party.

The gamers who participated in the raid became rich. After paying taxes, the highest-paid player received 400 gold coins, and the lowest-paid player received 20 gold coins!

The profits for these game players are mainly divided according to their job positions and battle merits.

This instantly caused a sensation in the Second World!

On the one hand, the goods that pirates stole were all relatively valuable!

In addition, there's the pirates' savings!
Of course, everyone knows that gamers have a tough time on the ship.

For a whole month, we ate, drank, and relieved ourselves in that cramped space on the ship.

After meeting with these people, Yang Bo encouraged these gamers.

Then he went on to study his own mysticism, a behavior that gamers have become accustomed to regarding Prince Holden.

Two more days passed in the Second World, and Yang Bo returned to the Second World as Prince Holden!
Yang Bo stood on the castle, watching the team appear on the distant sea.

The team consisted of four warships, two passenger ships, and two merchant ships.

The ports within the territory simply cannot accommodate so many ships, so the first passenger ship will dock first!

Yang Bo could see eight ships on the sea, and the people on board were looking at their territory with surprise.

The men on the eight ships were all astonished to see Prince Holden's territory.

Because Prince Holden's estate is a hundred times better than people imagine.

Prince Holden's territory was originally a barren land.

The terrain isn't very good either.

But now it seems that this place is even better than the territory of ordinary nobles.

The town at the foot of the mountain has a port, a dock, and fishing boats.

Judging from the size of this town, it is larger than the towns of ordinary nobles.

And those terraced fields, layer upon layer!

And the pastures in the distance.

There's also an orchard!

And the castle standing halfway up the mountain.

The ship in the dock looks like a warship.

"Damn it!!" Many people on the eight ships cursed inwardly.

These people made such a big fuss just to show everyone the ugly side of Prince Holden's territory.

Then let Prince Holden's reputation be ruined!

"Your Highness!!" The butler was already dressed in formal attire, waiting for Yang Bo to change.

Yang Bo didn't care about these things at first, but seeing the expectant looks on the faces of the game players in the territory made him more interested.

Yang Bo also knows that many gamers are live streaming.

So, with the help of servants, he changed into formal attire and rode a tall unicorn to the port.

Prince Holden has three unicorns; the other two were the unicorns he stole from other nobles.

Prince Holden led the procession in full regalia, followed by his captain of the knights and twenty knights.

These knights were all equipped with armor.

When the first passenger ship docked, the first to disembark were the royal knights from the neighboring country who had escorted the princess to her wedding.

“Vic, captain of the first squad of the Ice Bear Knights, pays his respects to Your Highness!” Four knights disembarked from the passenger ship. The leader, with one hand on his chest, greeted Yang Bo, who had been waiting there.

The country that will be marrying Prince Holden this time is the Kingdom of Ross in the northwest. This country is stronger in terms of military strength because its conditions are worse!
It is located at a higher latitude, and its agriculture is the least developed.

"You've worked hard!" Yang Bo looked at the knights and cavalrymen disembarking from the passenger ship and realized that this matter was not so simple.

The Kingdom of Ross has sent so many knights and soldiers this time.

The kingdom also sent four warships, clearly there to watch them make a fool of themselves.

If their territory looks too bad, then the people of the Kingdom of Ross will definitely break off the engagement.

This was a huge humiliation for a prince.

The main reason is that Yang Bo didn't consider this aspect, because Yang Bo's development focus is not on this.

Then they started unloading all sorts of things from the passenger ship.

After the crates were carried to the port, they were all opened.

Prince Holden's butler and his men were there to take stock of the items.

This is the dowry from the Kingdom of Rus'!
When the game streamers saw the dowry, their eyes widened in amazement.

"This gorgeous outfit, the jewels on it all look real!"

"And that set of gold tableware with intricate patterns!"

"And so many exquisite costumes!"

"Games are still the best."

"You guys think if we kidnap Prince Holden now, we'll be rich!"

"You must be out of your mind. Even if you steal the gold coins, you won't be able to take them with you!"

"Tsk tsk!!"

The first passenger ship brought a rather valuable dowry.

The second passenger ship was the bride's, along with an expensive dowry.

To Yang Bo's dismay, the bride was only fifteen years old and looked like a little girl who hadn't fully developed yet.

But this little girl was wearing a low-cut dress (like the kind worn by Western noblewomen), with slightly curly golden hair and blue eyes!

The bride's name was Leon.

The royal family of the Kingdom of Rus was called Trier.

The princess's dowry included many clothes, luxury goods, spices, jewelry, and crafted gold and silver utensils.

The other two merchant ships also carried cattle, sheep, horses, and grain.

Leon has ten personal maids and a housekeeper.

Yang Bo sensed that the female housekeeper's mental strength was higher than that of an average person, about 1.5 times higher.

This housekeeper is a lady-in-waiting of the royal family of the Kingdom of Rus.

Yang Bo's heart skipped a beat: Could this be what the imperial family is looking for?
Yang Bo's exploration of the Second World is limited!

The main problem is the inability to explore on a large scale!

Because there are armed ships and space laboratories hidden in space.

Any energy fluctuations are easily noticed!
This limited Yang Bo's scope of activities in the Second World.

Although Yang Bo has the ability to fly and dive into the ground, he can't use it here at all!

Although you can do all sorts of things while invisible, your range of movement is also limited!

Based on the initial situation, there are still some anomalies on this planet.

First, there are mythical beasts like unicorns.

The size of these strange beasts suggests they have undergone mutation and breeding.

Then came the mystical and superstitious stuff! When it was time for the people on the four warships to disembark, Yang Bo immediately ordered them to be stopped!
Prince Holden is still a prince of this country.

Therefore, the people on the warship dared not disobey Yang Bo's orders.

The people on the warship started cursing!
The people of the Kingdom of Ross were aware of this situation, as Prince Holden had previously refused the marriage proposal.

This is an internal matter of another country, and it's not appropriate for the people of the Kingdom of Rus' to get involved.

Then a grand wedding was held the very next day!

However, only a limited number of people participated on Prince Holden's side.

Because the nobles who came to attend the wedding were all on four warships.

Now those nobles who attended the wedding have become a laughing stock!
The people of the Kingdom of Ross will surely laugh at them when they return.

“Leon…” On their wedding night, Yang Bo looked at the little girl. To Yang Bo, an ordinary person would have large pores and various smells.

“Your Highness, you can call me Alice.” Alice said, her eyes wide as she looked at Prince Holden.

“I have dedicated my life to the occult,” Yang Bo said.

So I'm sorry!

There will be no real relationship between us.

“And you are free here!” Yang Bo said.

"Hmm?" Alice tilted her head, somewhat confused.

"Your Highness!" Just then, Alice's housekeeper, named Aliya, appeared outside the door.

Aliya is twenty-four years old this year. Since Alice was born, she has been Alice's housekeeper!

"Your Highness!"

"Alice must have an heir!" Alya bowed to Prince Holden as she entered before speaking.

"My territory, my rules!"

"If you want to leave, then go ahead!" Yang Bo said, preparing to leave.

"Your Highness!!" Alia blocked Prince Holden's path.

However, Prince Holden violently shoved him away!

Then Prince Holden strode away!

The moment Yang Bo pushed the other person, he released a spiritual seed into them.

"A cult?" This Alya is actually a member of a cult.

Their name is the Moon Goddess Cult.

The highest pope of the Luna cult is called the Goddess of Moonlight.

The entire sect is composed of women, and their ultimate goal is to establish a female-dominated nation.

Because all countries in the Second World are now male-dominated, women in the Second World are merely appendages of men.

What interests Yang Bo is that the women in this sect possess several cultivation techniques similar to ancient martial arts.

The women in this sect are active in various shady organizations, acting as assassins, thieves, and con artists. They raise funds through these means or use their beauty to incite conflict between different parties.

Alya, on the other hand, practices a form of hypnosis.

This method was used to spy on secrets.

Yang Bo also discovered that Aliya's own memories were incomplete.

Clearly, they possessed superior mental strength. The powerful individual used certain methods to erase this memory!

There are similar methods in hypnosis!

"I just don't know if it was done by the Moon Goddess Cult or by the royal family of the Blue Water Empire."

"The royal family of the Blue Ocean Empire must have also taken notice of this Moon Goddess Cult."

"Mental strength is closely related to the soul!"

"Could it be that only the natives of this world can cultivate secret techniques related to the soul?"

"Is this why the Empire has been researching for so many years but still hasn't found a direction?"

"Even if the Empire used cloning technology to cultivate them, many people still haven't found any direction?"

Yang Bo knew this was highly likely, even though the Empire was very strong in soul research!
But that's all there is to it. The so-called strength is only relative to the other two countries!
Therefore, the imperial family has no way to read these people's memories; they can only obtain a small portion of them.

Yang Bo also knows why the three countries now ban cloning technology.

The majority of the population in the three countries is still born from natural embryos.

That's because the proportion of clones with superpowers is too low.

This is actually easy to understand; cloned genes don't change much.

Just like plants, if all of them were propagated using cloning technology, then these plants would not evolve, and their disease resistance and other properties would gradually decrease because viruses and other pathogens are constantly evolving.

Therefore, many plants are still propagated by seeds because seeds continue to evolve during the propagation process!
Human embryos also evolve continuously by adapting to their environment!
To date, none of the three countries have a definitive answer as to which segments of the human genome influence superpowers or talents!
Many scientists are inclined towards the soul!

However, humans have only observed existences similar to soul particles.

Even if we could capture these soul particles, we still wouldn't be able to decipher them.

"Interesting!!" Yang Bo found this second world increasingly interesting.

"Alia!" Alice looked at Prince Holden as he left, then at Alia who had been pushed down by him, and quickly helped Alia up!

"Your Highness!"

"It's fine!"

"His Highness will change his mind!" Aliya already had many ideas in mind, but she would not act rashly before she figured out Prince Holden's background.

Yang Bo returned to the place where Prince Holden was studying mysticism, and then left the Second World!
The next morning, Yang Bo transformed back into Prince Holden and saw off the wedding procession from the Kingdom of Ross.

Then they returned to the place where Prince Holden was studying mysticism.

Yang Bo returned to Lee John's warship and then sent an email to the Pirate Alliance using his hacker identity, demanding that they pay him 10% of the commission.

After receiving the email, the Pirate Alliance replied immediately: Sorry, we are pirates!

Yang Bo: What do you mean? Are you planning to renege on your promise?
Pirate Alliance: We are pirates, and we pirates have never given money to others before. Of course, if you are willing to work for us, then we are willing to give you a share of 210 trillion!

Yang Bo: Are you planning to break the contract?

Pirate Alliance: Yes!
Yang Bo: You just wait!

Then Yang Bo deleted his account on the hacker forum.

"Hehe!!" Yang Bo chuckled to himself!
Yang Bo acted because it would be abnormal not to contact the other party, given the large sum of money involved!

Yang Bo was also afraid that the other party would offer him money, because he simply couldn't accept such a large sum!
That's 210 trillion!
In fact, most of the money the Pirate Alliance obtained this time will eventually end up in Yang Bo's hands.

Most of it was used to compensate other pirate groups, which have now begun purchasing warships from the Empire.

From any perspective, the warships purchased by these pirate groups will end up in Yang Bo's hands, whether it's Lee John or Yang Bo himself!
So Yang Bo actually didn't lose out at all!

The Empire has agreed to sell the export-model C-class warships to the pirates.

As for the federal government's reaction, the Empire completely ignored it.

Because the federal government's reputation is now completely ruined; they can't even beat pirates!

The federal government wouldn't dare to say anything!

Because the federal government has already dispatched a special envoy to the Empire.

We are preparing to purchase a large number of Imperial warships!

The Federation plans to purchase more than twenty Class A warships, more than forty Class B warships, and one hundred and fifty Class C warships!
In addition, the Federation plans to build its own capital warships, but many components of the capital warships will have to be ordered from the Empire.

Both the Pirate Alliance and the Federal State of Madhya are currently spending money and actively increasing their strength!

The federal state of Madhya Pradesh has expanded its recruitment of soldiers and reformulated its officer promotion system.

People from the major conglomerates in Madhya Pradesh have no desire to become military officers now, because fighting against pirate alliances could easily result in their deaths.

In the past, these conglomerates' members served as military officers simply to make money, because they could receive salaries without working.

Now, if you're not careful, you might get killed by pirates. You won't even have all your money left, and your woman will be taken advantage of by someone else.

Therefore, many people from these conglomerates requested to resign.

"Looks like I've done something good!" Yang Bo stroked his chin after learning the details.

Yang Bo was controlling a Class B warship back to Karaya.

Taking advantage of this time, Yang Bo transferred the robots from Bart's Lab to the warship!
Upon returning to Karaya, these robots prepared to begin constructing the warship dock.

Yang Bo specially manufactured six super optical computers and then established an intelligent system!
This is the control core of the warship dock!

Besides manufacturing warships, the shipyard is also a space fortress.

Yang Bo knew that once his warship dock began construction, someone would definitely try to sabotage it.

Of course, the intelligent system of this warship dock is superior to that of other existing warship docks.

"I'm exhausted!!" Yang Bo felt a bit tired after finishing his work.

The main issue is that I've been expending a lot of mental energy lately.

On the one hand, we need to build a supercomputer; on the other hand, we need to send these robots to the warships via space teleportation.

One aspect is the consumption of one's own energy, and another is the consumption of mental energy.

Yang Bo also had to appear in Prince Holden's territory from time to time.

Yang Bo is now sitting on top of Prince Holden's castle, basking in the sun.

No one else is allowed up here!
As for Aria and Alice, they were wandering around the territory.

Yang Bo found these two people's ideas ridiculous!
They believed that the people in their territory were commoners, and they wanted these commoners to accept them.

Yang Bo let them do as they pleased. Anyway, these gamers would follow whoever offered them the most benefits. The cookies and other treats that Alice and the others distributed were immediately resold at high prices by these gamers.
