Why not just eat it directly? It's not like others can rummage through its belly. How come you've become stupid instead of smarter after being human for so long?
Initially, because of this matter, Ruan Mingchu had a late-night talk with Mu Yu.
"You really want some snacks?"
Mu Yu: "I don't want to. I just want to practice on it since it's pretty strong. Otherwise, it'll eat your food, drink your water, live in your house, and not do any work. It's just wishful thinking."
Ruan Mingchu was speechless.
Indeed, Ruan Mingchu had been supporting Banlan with his own money, including Liya, Liye, and others, all of whom were personally funded by him.
Mu Yu snorted twice, "Anyway, it's your money that's used to buy it, so it's okay for me to take a little bit, right?"
It seemed there was no problem at all, and Ruan Mingchu was convinced, "Whatever you say."
As they ventured deeper into the Seventy-Seventh Star System, Ruan Mingchu's warship slowed down, primarily to evade the reconnaissance of the Divine Miracle, and also because Ruan Mingchu wanted to take the opportunity to assess the actual situation.
The intelligence provided by the spies was too vague.
Ruan Mingchu thought that the Miracle Organization had given the Star Beasts a specific route to cross the border, but he didn't expect that apart from the planet that the Miracle Organization currently occupies, the rest of the planets have been ravaged by the Star Beasts.
This was completely beyond Ruan Minh Thu's expectations. Why did they even bother establishing a nation in the first place if they were going to act this way? It's utterly incomprehensible that someone who wanted to become emperor would allow star beasts to wreak havoc on his territory.
Something unknown had happened, Ruan Mingchu thought with certainty after looking at several lifeless planets.
The most likely scenario is that the current leader of the Miracles organization is not the same person who led it before.
They haven't even gotten their feet on the ground yet and they're already fighting? That can't be right. After all, the Miracle Organization has existed for so many years and done so many bad things. They can't be that stupid.
Ruan Mingchu couldn't be sure either, after all, the things the Miracle Organization was doing now were exceptionally idiotic.
The Miracle Organization has over three million full-time combat personnel, but there are many others in other roles, totaling over one hundred million. However, this number is still too small for a planet that is not small.
Combat personnel patrolled the outer reaches of the planet in warships, completely enclosing it, ensuring that not a single star beast could fly inside.
Researchers were scattered across the planet, continuing their research, oblivious to the noise and chaos outside.
Those in charge of administration, the leading group, all gathered in one city, the main city of the main star of the Seventy-Seven Star System.
Nguyen Minh Thu's goal was the main city.
Leaving the elite squad and warship in space, Ruan Mingchu, Mu Yu, and Banlan boarded a spacecraft and, using Mu Yu's space skills, effortlessly entered the main planet.
They were probably overconfident in the outer defenses, as there were almost no defenses inside the planet. Soon, Ruan Mingchu and his two companions arrived outside the main city.
After hiding the aircraft in the suburbs and disguising themselves, the three entered the main city after dark.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yongyang, the adjutant representing Ruan Mingchu, who was located outside the Seventy-Seventh Star System, sent a letter to the Miracle Organization, inviting the organization's first divine envoy, the one who called himself the Divine Emperor, to have a cordial and friendly exchange with His Highness the Crown Prince of the Empire.
This is an arrangement made in the open to attract their attention. It would be best if the First Divine Envoy accepted the invitation, but there would be corresponding arrangements in place if he did not accept it.
The route to the main city that Ruan Mingchu blindly chose was not very good. It seemed to be a night market, with loud music playing everywhere, and the most lively places were almost packed with people.
There are probably many places as lively as this within the empire, but this liveliness just doesn't feel right here.
It's a Star Beast Tide, an exceptionally intense one that happens only once every ten thousand years. And now, there's still a steady stream of Star Beasts emerging from the border. There's also a Star Beast lurking in the shadows, whose strength is unknown and who may even possess intelligence. Yet, they seem to have absolutely no sense of crisis.
How incredibly confident do they have?!
After taking a few steps, Ruan Mingchu's face turned almost green.
Extravagance, indulgence, depravity, decay...
One disgusting word after another popped into Ruan Mingchu's mind as he dodged hand after hand that tried to touch his chest, abdomen, and buttocks. The veins on Ruan Mingchu's forehead throbbed.
Luckily, Mu Yu and Ban Lan were waiting for him in the restroom outside, otherwise they would have exploded here.
Although she was furious, Ruan Mingchu didn't overlook any of the important details.
Just as Brother Yin said, most members of the Miracle Organization have undergone surgery. As far as the eye can see, each person has some animal features, such as ears, tails, or claws. Larger animal features are gone, but at least you can still tell that they are human.
Suddenly feeling a gust of wind behind him, Ruan Mingchu dodged to the side, only to be forced step by step into the shadows of the alley.
A handsome young man with fox ears grinned smugly at Ruan Mingchu: "Little brother, where can you hide now?"
Ruan Mingchu silently picked up the terminal and opened the selfie function. What he saw was indeed an ordinary, somewhat ugly face that looked at least in his forties.
He didn't understand.
61 Question Mark Fox Ears' brain is about to explode
Ruan Mingchu silently turned off the terminal, stretched his wrists, and thought that it would be a disservice to God not to accept what had been delivered to his door. He just hoped that his brain wasn't as crippled as his eyes.
The fox-eared boy assumed Ruan Mingchu's silence was tacit agreement, so he swayed closer to Ruan Mingchu and reached for his abdomen. The outline of six-pack abs was revealed beneath the carefully concealed fabric, a rarity in the main city where everyone worked in an office.
Slurp, slurp~ The fox-eared boy swallowed the overflowing saliva, his heart filled with anticipation.
However, just as his hand was about to touch the abs, the person suddenly disappeared, followed by a "crack" sound from the neck, and the fox-eared boy lost consciousness.
Ruan Mingchu squinted at the man, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him along the wall toward the toilet.
Occasionally, someone would give him a knowing smile, and another person, after being rejected when he tried to join them, chose to follow them.
Ruan Mingchu had no choice but to knock out the rabbit-eared boy who was following them after they entered the secluded area.
In the accessible restroom, Mu Yu and Ban Lan glanced at the two little boys Ruan Mingchu had brought back, then quickly looked away.
The two of them were each holding a corner of a snack bag that read "Spicy Rabbit Jerky".
Banlan said, "Spicy rabbit is delicious! There's only one bag left. The fox hasn't tried it yet. How can we make it delicious?"
Ruan Mingchu: ...
The rabbit-eared boy, upon regaining consciousness, was so frightened that he closed his eyes tightly, his two long ears completely covering his head.
The fox-eared boy didn't dare to move. He wanted to flirt with a muscular, handsome guy and eat him, but not in this way!
Ruan Mingchu pretended not to see the five words on the packaging: "It's not for eating."
Banlan gave a disappointed "Oh," clutched her snacks tightly, and looked determined that her snacks would not be taken away!
Mu Yu released his hand; when serious matters are at hand, one cannot act like a child.
"Have we been discovered?" Mu Yu asked.
Ruan Mingchu shook his head, his lips opening and closing several times but unable to speak. He went over the words in his mind several times but still couldn't figure out how to embellish them, so he simply said, "He's blind and has taken a liking to this face, trying to seduce him." As he spoke, he pointed to the fox-eared boy on the ground, his face full of complicated expressions.
Before Mu Yu could react with surprise, the fox-eared boy on the ground jumped up and retorted, "Pah! You're the one who's attracted to that ugly face that looks like dried cabbage! If it weren't for your amazing figure, I wouldn't even acknowledge you!"
He blurted out the curse in a fit of rage, only realizing afterward that he was now a lamb to the slaughter, and quickly covered his mouth.
Mu Yu listened to his words and looked at Ruan Mingchu's body, unable to disagree with the phrase "superb figure." He then silently looked down at himself; although he was a bit short, he wasn't far off!
Yeah, I'm not bad myself.
Ruan Mingchu sighed, feeling that Mu Xiaoyu's brain seemed to have become even less sharp after meeting Banlan.
"Xiao Yu, you and Banlan continue playing. I'm going to interrogate them."
Both the fox-eared and rabbit-eared men looked quite innocent, but since they were members of the Miracle Organization and had undergone modification surgery, they were no good. Ruan Mingchu naturally wouldn't show any mercy. A quick search of their mental seas revealed that whether they went mad or became crippled was entirely their own fault.
The fox-eared and cat-eared boys then realized what was happening. The fox-eared boy pointed at Ruan Mingchu, his voice trembling slightly, "You're from the Empire? How did you get in? What do you want? The main planet is full of our people. I advise you to think about your escape route before you do anything."
After the initial surprise came composure, and she even turned around and threatened Ruan Mingchu, while secretly sending messages through her hidden hand. Fox Ear's mental fortitude is truly remarkable.
The rabbit ears were rather poor; they just lay there, too afraid to do anything.
Fox Ears' ability to handle crises and adapt to changing circumstances is indeed impressive, but unfortunately, he encountered Ruan Mingchu, whose scruples and schemes were laid bare to him.
This space had long been shielded by Ruan Mingchu's mental power; information from the outside could not enter, and information from the inside could not leave.
Ruan Mingchu did not answer any of Fox Ear's questions. He raised his hand, and Fox Ear was gripped by an invisible spiritual force. It wouldn't kill him, but it would make him uncomfortable.
Judging from all the signs, Ruan Mingchu felt that the fox ear must have a high status in the miracle, and keeping it might be more useful than looking at his memories, since there was another one next to him anyway.
The rabbit ears trembled, then suddenly felt a sharp pain and instantly fainted.
After so many practices, Ruan Mingchu's technique of invading other people's mental seas and browsing their memories has become highly refined. If the rabbit ears cooperate, it will only hurt for a short while.
After seeing the memory of the rabbit ears, Ruan Mingchu's expression turned into that of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.
Can someone explain to him why this person dedicates himself selflessly to the cause of reproduction every night for thirty days a month?
Oh, after being modified, not only were their physique and strength enhanced, but their desires were also amplified.
Ruan Mingchu: ...
How are we any different from beasts if we act this way?
Ruan Mingchu wanted to skip this kind of information, but this kind of thing was more important to Rabbit Ears than work. Eighty percent of the memories were mixed in, so Ruan Mingchu could only hold his nose and sift through the information.
The fox-eared boy struggled, Banlan chewed on dried meat, while Muyu stared at Ruan Mingchu.
Ruan Mingchu's thoughts were written all over his face; his furrowed brows were so deep they could crush an insect, and his disgust seemed to burst through the roof.
"Just how many crimes has this person committed?" Mu Yu wondered to himself, "How could he have angered Ruan Mingchu to this extent?"
Ruan Mingchu sped up and quickly extracted useful information. The rabbit-eared boy was a low-level clerk in the intelligence department of the Miracle Organization, with no real power, but he handled a lot of tasks.
Many nobles and military officers in certain star systems have colluded with the Divine Relics. Although they haven't directly committed crimes, they have indirectly caused many negative consequences. Ruan Mingchu plans to settle accounts with them once the Divine Relics are dealt with.
Rabbit Ears didn't know much, but there was indeed some turmoil at the top of the Miracle organization, and they were in the midst of a power struggle. The two sides were evenly matched and neither had time to deal with the outside world, which is why the current situation has arisen.
In addition, Nguyen Minh Thu also obtained some information about the Miracle Intelligence Department, such as its personnel and organization.
And that's all we know about the fox-eared boy's identity.
Ruan Mingchu altered Rabbit Ears's memories with his mental power and planted a bomb, then withdrew from Rabbit Ears's mental sea.
Rabbit Ears quickly got up from the ground, its eyes lifeless.
Ruan Mingchu said, "Go back and get some sleep."
Rabbit Ears nodded and turned to leave.
Fox Ears was utterly shocked by what he saw. What had happened? Was Rabbit Ears in cahoots with them? Otherwise, why would they let him go?
Killing Rabbit Ears directly or keeping him imprisoned would definitely attract the attention of the divine forces. So Ruan Mingchu did something to Rabbit Ears, making him forget what happened that day and replacing it with memories fabricated by Ruan Mingchu.
After finishing with Rabbit Ears, Ruan Mingchu looked at Fox Ears. Thinking of the hand that had reached out to him and Fox Ears' words, Ruan Mingchu felt that Fox Ears was even worse than Rabbit Ears. Not wanting to be corrupted by those things again, Ruan Mingchu knocked him unconscious again.
Before Fox Ears was knocked unconscious, he kept asking himself why.
Nguyen Minh Thu said, “There’s a hotel nearby that doesn’t require ID registration, let’s go there and rest for the night.”
Mu Yu naturally had no objections. Looking at Ruan Mingchu's tired face, he wanted him to rest even more than Ruan Mingchu himself did.
