Light Speed ​​War

Chapter 214: Xiao Mei's Wish

“Xingquete, it’s simple. I want you to lead my people on this planet to rebuild their homes. I don’t want to use force anymore. You should know that if it weren’t for Zhou Yuan and the others pleading for me, I probably would have wiped you all out.”

When Linghu Ying met Xingkuite and the others, her opening remarks were so domineering.

Xingquete knew that he was now at their mercy, and if he resisted, it might really be as Linghuying said: the entire human race on this planet would be wiped out by the fleet.

Xingkuite agreed to Linghuying's request, but in reality, Xingkuite and his group became Linghuying's puppets.

Celeste and the others returned to Earth and began appearing on live television. Desperate and wounded humans always need some authority to comfort and rely on. When Celeste and the other officials appeared, people cheered and took to the streets to celebrate.

With the covert assistance of Linghu Ying's fleet, Xingkuite, as the leader of this planet, began its development. However, in terms of military affairs, the Xingkuite government only established a National Guard to maintain social order, neglecting other military bases and weapons. Even the newly formed Science Committee was staffed by Linghu Ying, who secretly established an Academy of Sciences system on the planet. This secret scientific research base was, of course, to conduct research on several technologies provided by Zhou Yuan-1 and his team, such as consciousness, cloning, and time machines.

In order to better control the Xingkuite government puppets, Linghu Ying dispatched special forces to be stationed in the new parliament building. The security system of the entire parliament building was personally designed by Xiao Mei. It was full of traps and mechanisms. Every move of these government leaders and officials was under the surveillance of the fleet.

Like a parched land receiving rain, Linghu Ying seemed to have become younger, radiant with ambition, and personally oversaw many matters concerning the fleet base and Earth's construction. Fortunately, she had her talented and beautiful best friend, Xiao Mei, to share her burdens and worries.

Linghu Ying began to think of Xiao Mei. Over the years, Xiao Mei had tirelessly dedicated herself to researching technology for her and her brother, making invaluable contributions. Xiao Mei was three years younger than her, still single and a virgin, which made Linghu Ying feel somewhat guilty. Linghu Ying began to consider how to bring Xiao Mei into this "family."

With the fleet's covert and powerful support and funding, the Xingkuite government rebuilt its homeland very quickly and with remarkable results. The people of Xingkuite were deeply loved and adored by their citizens. Having recovered from the trauma of the war two years prior, the world began to thrive again, full of vitality.

The four crew members of Zhou Yuan No. 1 conducted research at the secret scientific research base on Earth during the day and returned to the fleet base at night. Linghu Ying kept her promise; Pan Na No. 1 and the other two slept with Zhou Yuan No. 1 every other night, while she herself slept with Zhou Yuan No. 1 on another night.

Linghu Ying noticed a noteworthy topic emerging on the planet's internet: "Ten years from now, how should we face clones?"

The Starquat government issued a statement saying that the replicators were just a pretext for aliens to send spies to this world, and that there were no replicators or time machines. The time traveler from the future world was just a hoax by aliens before their invasion of this human planet.

This statement was drafted personally by Linghu Ying. Her purpose was, of course, to instill in the humans of this planet the same hatred and resentment towards Zhou Yuan No. 1 that the elderly official who was carbonized by the laser beam had. This would deprive Zhou Yuan No. 1 of popular support, making it extremely difficult for him to sabotage her plans. If everyone viewed Zhou Yuan No. 1 and his three companions as alien spies and traitors to this world, Linghu Ying thought, no matter how powerful Zhou Yuan No. 1 was, he couldn't possibly form a resistance army against her.

However, Linghu Ying still recalled Zhou Yuan No. 1 from that secret scientific research base on Earth back to the fleet base.

"Ah Ying, is there something important that you summoned me back?" Zhou Yuan asked Linghu Ying as he entered the room and saw Linghu Ying and Xiao Mei.

"Brother, I'm sorry to have kept you from your work. There's something I'd like to ask you."

"What is it?" Zhou Yuan No. 1 was unaware of the statement issued by the Xingkuite government.

Why didn't you mention the clone fleet to me?

"Oh, the replicator fleet. A hundred warships would have been enough to deal with them, let alone now with another four thousand. Ah Ying, I didn't tell you so you wouldn't worry."

"Brother, even so, we cannot let our guard down. It's a pity that we destroyed those small Death Star weapons."

"The small Death Star weapon also has its flaws; its energy storage can only last for one day, which is roughly one day of combat time."

"Xiao Mei, is there any way to extend the energy storage of the small Death Star weapon for a few more days?"

“Miss, I’ve analyzed the technology of the miniature Death Star weapon and the Dyson Cloud module. In my personal opinion, building the Dyson Cloud is beyond the capabilities of humanity on this planet. As for the miniature Death Star weapon, we can modify it; it has great potential.”

"Oh, Xiaomei, what do you mean?"

Xiao Mei glanced at Zhou Yuan No. 1, and Linghu Ying gestured for her to continue. "Miss, it's like this, we can make the small Death Star weapons larger. Although this will reduce some mobility, it will increase power and launch duration. We don't need to protect all the planets in the solar system; we just need to deploy large Death Star weapons above Earth."

"Big brother, what do you think of Xiaomei's idea?"

"Yes, Xiaomei is indeed outstanding."

"Big brother, besides being exceptionally intelligent, Xiaomei is also a beautiful woman."

After Linghu Ying pointed it out, Zhou Yuan No. 1 took a closer look at Xiao Mei. Although Xiao Mei was older, she still retained her charm and beauty, with fair skin and a very good figure. When Xiao Mei saw Zhou Yuan No. 1 looking at her, she lowered her head like a shy young girl.

Zhou Yuan shifted his gaze to Linghu Ying, "Linghu, is there anything else?"

"Is there nothing else? Are you going back to Earth?"

"Yes, you know, I get anxious when I have nothing to do."

"Is there a problem at the scientific research base?"

"Inspired by what Xiaomei just said, I want to go back and discuss that expanded Death Star weapon with Huo Jing."

"Xiao Mei, you should spend more time with your older brother in the future. The Death Star weapon must be implemented as soon as possible."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhou Yuan No. 1 bid farewell to the two and returned to the secret science base.

Seeing Xiao Mei's reluctant gaze as she watched Zhou Yuan No. 1 leave, Linghu Ying was preoccupied with her own thoughts and pondered what to do.

"Xiaomei, thank you for your hard work."

“Miss, it is my honor to work for you. If it weren’t for you, I would probably not be where I am today.”

"Xiaomei, I've always thought of you as a little sister. You need to take care of your personal matters too, right?"

Xiao Mei blushed. "Miss, I'm in the lab all day, I don't have time..."

"Xiao Mei, didn't I just say that you should spend more time with your older brother in the future?" Linghu Ying smiled slightly.

"Miss..."

"Xiaomei, I don't mind, so why are you? I'll take care of Panna and the others. Don't worry."

Linghu Ying placed her hand on Xiao Mei's hand and looked at her intently. This time, Xiao Mei saw sincerity in her eyes.

"Xiaomei, you can do research with your older brother and the others from now on. I know you like him too."

"Miss, I..."

"Xiaomei, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Stop talking, dress up nicely and sexy tonight, and come to my room. That's all."

"Yes, Miss." Xiao Mei knew Linghu Ying's temperament; she was decisive and ruthless. Once she set out to do something, she would do it, just like how she had been searching for Zhou Yuan for so many years.

Just as Xiao Mei turned to leave, Linghu Ying called out, "Xiao Mei, wait a minute." Xiao Mei turned back and walked up to Linghu Ying. "Miss, is there anything else?"

Linghu Ying looked around and then looked up, as if she sensed someone eavesdropping above. She approached Xiao Mei and whispered, "Xiao Mei, don't get too caught up in Zhou Yuan No. 1. Our master is not satisfied with our work in the first half of the year. He ordered us the day before yesterday to quickly acquire various technologies from the Earth Empire."

When Xiao Mei heard the word "master," a look of fear flashed across her face.

"Xiaomei, this isn't your fault, it's my fault. I've become infatuated with Zhou Yuan No. 1. So I advise you to be careful if you get together with Zhou Yuan No. 1."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Remember to come tonight."

"Yes."

Xiao Mei turned and left, and the door closed automatically.

After get off work, Xiao Mei ate a communal meal and returned to her room. Thinking about Linghu Ying mentioning "master," she couldn't help but tremble. Linghu Ying's invitation to her room tonight seemed to be a desire she herself was yearning for. However, the mission in her mind, including Linghu Ying's and everyone in this fleet, was to acquire the technology of the Earth Empire and to pursue Zhou Yuan. Their goals were the same.

Xiaomei looked at herself in the mirror, touched her face, and felt how real it all was.

Xiao Mei rummaged through her wardrobe and searched for a long time before finding a low-cut, bright red dress. In her memory, she had worn this bright red dress at the banquet held by the Academy of Sciences of the Earth Empire, the capital planet of the Nine Stars Orbiting the Sun System, to send off Xiao Mei and her three companions back to their home planet. Zhou Yuan had also attended the banquet that day. Tonight, she was wearing this bright red dress for the second time.

Xiao Mei put on this low-cut red dress and stood in front of the mirror. With her tall figure, proud breasts, and snow-white skin, Xiao Mei looked at herself in the mirror and could hardly believe it.

Xiao Mei felt as if she had returned to the farewell banquet of the Earth Empire. Watching Professor Huo Jing and Zhou Yuan talking almost face to face, Xiao Mei felt very lost. At that time, she felt that her decision to leave Professor Huo Jing was the right one. Otherwise, if she stayed in the Earth Empire and saw the two of them being so intimate, she would feel even more uncomfortable.

After returning to their home planet, Linghu Ying and her brother immediately approached the four of them, hoping they would join X-WORLD Corporation to develop a time machine for the company. When Linghu Ying mentioned wanting to use the time machine to find Zhou Yuan, Xiao Mei felt like she had grasped a lifeline and immediately agreed to help the siblings.

As Xiao Mei put on makeup, she thought about the past, but suddenly her mind went blank. She couldn't remember anything about what happened before she entered this world. Only a voice echoed in her mind, "Acquire Earth Empire's technology as soon as possible."

“Yes, Master,” Xiao Mei muttered to herself.

"Xiaomei, are you ready? Come on over." Linghu Ying's voice came through the bedroom call button.

"Yes, ma'am."

Xiao Mei in the mirror was stunningly beautiful. She turned around gracefully, walked out of her room, and the door closed automatically.

Xiao Mei and Linghu Ying's rooms are not far apart, about 220 meters apart.
