Cecilia looked at the person on the screen. This young man’s resume was excellent, but for some reason, he just didn’t like him.
Even from a simple photograph, he could see the deep ambition in the young man’s eyes.
Such ambition in a young man capable of competing for the position of Federation Chairman should have been normal, but for some reason, Cecilia felt uncomfortable.
However, he didn’t say much. No matter who the next Federation Chairman was, he didn’t care.
This matter was much simpler than establishing diplomatic relations with the insect race. With hardly any hesitation, Aji became the next Federation Chairman.
The murderer of Sabuna had not yet been found, but it was not good to keep the body of a former Federation Chairman for too long. So, the first thing Aji did after taking office was to bury Sabuna’s body.
He handled this matter with dignity and grace. As for what was truly going on inside, only Aji knew.
The meeting lasted for a whole day. After it finally ended, Cecilia rubbed his neck and stood up, walking towards the exit.
Why did a meeting take so long? His back ached from sitting. Oh, it was so tiring. He needed to contact the little chubby cub.
So, the little chubby cub, who had only been in kindergarten for one day, received a communication from his father as soon as he got out of school.
Cecilia seemed to be neither on the Insect Planet nor on Bella Planet. There were many people coming and going in the background, all stealthily looking in his direction, seemingly curious about who could make Cecilia show such a gentle smile.
Cecilia pretended not to see them, his eyes full of smiles as he boasted to Luo Qi: “Luoluo, Daddy came to Earth for an interstellar conference today. The insect race will establish diplomatic relations with many races, and Luoluo will have more good friends in the future.”
After speaking, he looked at Luo Qi with a smile, his meaning as clear as could be.
Luo Qi naturally understood and responded enthusiastically, “Daddy is amazing! I love Daddy the most!”
Cecilia felt pleased and smiled, “Daddy, how about I take you to Earth to play next time? Although Earth isn’t as big as the Insect Planet, nor as beautiful, nor as advanced, it’s still quite interesting.”
Lin Zhiyuan, who had heard everything behind him: “……”
Luo Qi nodded. He also missed Earth, but he supposed the current Earth must be different from the Earth of the past.
“Daddy, you don’t need to take me. I’m going to Ye Mu’s house to visit next weekend too.”
Ye Mu, who was following Luo Qi, nodded in agreement, looking a bit happy.
Cecilia, on the other end of the communication, was not very happy. Tsk, he forgot about this.
Cecilia hung up the communication with a dejected expression, secretly pondering how to disrupt Luo Qi’s travel plans for the next weekend.
Although it was a bit immoral, he, as a new father, just couldn’t be separated from his little cub!
Besides, what morality did an insect race need? What was that, could it be eaten?
Ye Mu watched Luo Qi put down the communication and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Luo Qi was also quite surprised, “My dad said he went to Earth to attend an interstellar conference.”
Ye Mu nodded, “That’s a good thing.”
Luo Qi also nodded, “Let’s go, we’re going to have dinner.”
111, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked, “How did this happen?”
Luo Qi was startled, “Brother 1, where did you go? What happened?”
111 looked bewildered, “Why is it that after I haven’t been online for a long time, as soon as I log in, your dad is attending an interstellar conference? Is this some sci-fi movie?”
Luo Qi frowned, “What do you mean? Don’t think you can just say whatever you want because you’re my silly system!”
111 tsked, “You’re asking for a beating, aren’t you? Why don’t you understand that according to the insect race’s usual path, they would be aloof and distant throughout the galaxy.
His voice grew quieter, “Even with you, you shouldn’t have gotten along so well with the outside world so quickly. This is different from what’s written in the plotline…”
Luo Qi didn’t hear the latter part clearly, but regarding the insect race’s aloofness, he retorted:
“That was because the outside world had prejudices against our insect race. Now that they know we insect race are all easy to get along with, of course they are willing to establish diplomatic relations with us.”
111 was speechless, “You’re the host who has integrated into the world the fastest that I’ve ever seen. You really seem like a native insect race member.”
He waited for Luo Qi’s reply, but Luo Qi remained silent. After a long while, he said softly, “I am a native.”
111 was at a loss for words. It seemed he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly tried to cover it up, “It’s good that the host can integrate into the world. If someone as silly as you, Luo Qi, were discovered by Cecilia to not be from this world, you’d be in trouble.”
Luo Qi became even sadder. Yes, he hadn’t told Cecilia about this yet, and he didn’t know if Cecilia would still consider him his son after knowing about it.
111 stopped talking. When it was manufactured, it didn’t have a program for comforting people. This was making things difficult for the system!
It stammered, “I didn’t mean that, I just meant… you understand, what I said just now didn’t mean anything, don’t overthink it.”
Luo Qi said, “If you don’t know how to speak, then just shut up.”
111: “…Okay.”
It really stopped talking, and Luo Qi felt a little unaccustomed to it. This time, 111 didn’t retort, and he forgot to ask what 111 had been doing these past few days. Why hadn’t he seen it for so long?
Never mind, he would ask it next time. Luo Qi put the matter aside and walked towards the dormitory with Ye Mu.
It was still the small grove by the dormitory entrance, still the same small open space, still where Luo Qi and Ye Mu met Zhao Ritian after dinner.
Zhao Ritian stood solemnly under a small tree in the distance, seemingly waiting for someone. When he saw Luo Qi and Ye Mu approaching, his eyes lit up.
Luo Qi took a step back, “…What do you want this time?”
Zhao Ritian quickly said, “I’m not here to cause trouble, I’m here to find you.”
Luo Qi raised an eyebrow. That still sounded like he was here to cause trouble.
Zhao Ritian walked up to Luo Qi and said, “I’m here to make friends with you.”
Luo Qi slowly typed out a question mark?
Zhao Ritian, the young master of a pirate group, had done everything from chasing cats and dogs to climbing roofs and tearing down tiles since he was young.
The only thing he had never done was make friends with people.
He looked at his toes, his cheeks turning red:
“My father communicated with me and said that the pirate group had verbally agreed to establish diplomatic relations with the insect race. I don’t understand what diplomatic relations mean, but I think it means the insect race and the pirate group are friends. So, I’ve come to make friends with you.”
