Chapter 983 Cunning
Jet told Emily what the Minister of Publicity had come to tell him before, and finally sighed and said: "The empire is so powerful, how can a small hunter's guild like mine resist it?"
The current Galactic Empire is a constitutional monarchy, and the royal family does not have much power. Emily has received almost no education in this aspect. If it were not for the recent changes, she would not even be exposed to this aspect of things.
After all, she is just a princess, not a queen or a prince.
Seriously speaking, she is just a girl who is a little cautious. Except for a stupid fool like Ling who has no brains, it is impossible for anyone else to be deceived by her clumsy methods.
So, she believed it.
"Uncle Jet, it's my fault. It's not for you to interfere in this kind of thing."
There was deep frustration in his tone.
"Good boy, it's not easy for you either," Jet touched Emily's head and said kindly: "From now on, I can live on the Hunter Planet with peace of mind. No matter how powerful they are, they only have one-third of an acre of land on the Hunter Planet."
, I can still protect you."
Emily said: "No, Uncle Jet, I must participate in the Strongest Hunter Competition. I must also get the qualifications for the Hunter Competition!"
Jet was stunned.
What the hell?
Qualification for Hunter Contest?
Is this your request?
Why do you need to ask for such a small thing?
There was such a big battle just now, I thought you were going to invite me to go out and fight those guys!
It’s over, misunderstanding!
The so-called wise man will always make mistakes. As an old fox who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years and can live for hundreds of thousands more, Jett has countless clever ideas. He knew that Emily came to the Hunter Planet as early as
At that time, I had a plan in mind.
But the only thing he didn't calculate was that Emily was a bit naive, and her request to him was just to qualify for the Hunter Competition!
However, Jet is worthy of being a guy who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years. His face changed slightly, his eyes hesitated, and suddenly, he seemed to have made up his mind. He said: "Emily? You...actually it's not impossible. Here.
After all, this is the Hunter Planet, and I am the president of the Hunter Guild after all. Although this strongest hunter competition has been taken over by the empire, I can also decide a quota.
Well, originally, I was going to give this spot to Zero and let him participate in this hunter competition. After all, participating in the hunter competition and becoming the strongest hunter has been his wish since childhood.
But now it seems that you are more suitable for this quota."
"Eh?"
This time, it made Emily feel even more guilty? She hurriedly said: "No, no, no? How can I ask for Brother Ling's place? That has been his dream since childhood..."
"What dream is not a dream? That kid can't participate this time, and there will be another one, but you can't. This quota belongs to you now. Otherwise? There are only so many days left, how can you get this quota?
?”
Is Emily still kind at heart? As a playmate since childhood, she is also very aware of Zero's dream. However, her own experience and destiny have made this spot a necessity for Emily.
"That's...ok. Thanks Uncle Jet!"
After saying that, Emily also made up her mind and said: "No matter what the result is this time, thirty years later, I will definitely help Brother Ling and become the strongest hunter!"
Jet laughed and said: "It's good if you have such a heart. Besides, this kid Ling has grown a lot in these years. Maybe he can obtain the qualification with his own ability?"
Emily nodded and said: "I hope..."
In fact, she didn't have much hope. According to Jet, the strongest hunter competition held this time has been completely controlled by the empire, and Jet doesn't have much power to interfere.
Under such circumstances, Zero has little hope of participating in the Strongest Hunter Competition.
She did not expect that the premise of everything was that Jet did not have much right to interfere, but in fact... haha...
On the other side, Luo Zhi looked at Ling, who had just ran back to the stall, and asked, "Why are you the only one coming back?"
"Ah... I brought them home. She seems to have something to discuss with her uncle."
"Have you eaten yet?"
"No."
"Then let's eat." Luo Zhi took out a table, which was filled with dishes. He estimated that there were twenty or thirty plates.
Ling looked at it for a moment: "Why are you preparing so many dishes?"
"At noon, it's time to eat. I originally thought you would bring those two friends over, so I prepared a lot of dishes. But I didn't expect...forget it, two people will also eat."
"How did the two of us eat so much?"
"If you can't finish it, just keep it. It will be the same if you eat it in the afternoon."
The food preservation technology in the interstellar era is absolutely beyond people's imagination. Let alone leaving it until the afternoon, even if it is left until next year, these dishes will still be hot and fresh.
After finishing the meal, there was indeed a lot left. Luo Zhi gave it to Zero for storage on the grounds that "these are prepared for you and your friends."
Ling also happily accepted it, but he didn't know that this was already Luo Zhi's plan.
In the afternoon, when preparing to eat, Luo Zhi asked Ling to take out the leftover meals for lunch, but Ling took out the storage device and took a look, only to find that there was only the lingering fragrance of the food left inside.
"Gone?"
"What? The food is missing? Is there anyone stealing our food?" Luo Zhi was confused, came over to take a look, and said: "The storage device is very complete, and there are no signs of prying or damage. This...can't be stolen by you.
Bar?"
"How is that possible? Do I look like the kind of person who steals food?"
"Um……"
"Don't hesitate!"
Luo Zhidao: "Forget it, it's just a little food, let's buy more. However, we'd better not do this kind of thing again in the future. If you want to eat, just say it. Do we still have this little money to buy food?"
"I didn't eat it secretly!"
Ling said righteously, but Luo Zhi didn't believe it at all.
That day, until before going back, Ling kept explaining, but Luo Zhi didn't listen.
In the villa, Emily was still there. When she saw Ling coming back, she greeted him with a hint of guilt in her eyes: "Brother Ling, you are back."
"Well, Emily, have you discussed your matter with your uncle?"
"It's been discussed, and I will live here during this period."
"Great! The strongest hunter competition will be held in a while. Emily, I will become the strongest hunter."
Emily smiled: "Well, I believe you."
After washing up, Ling lay on the bed, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Of course, it was not because of Emily, but because of the stolen food.
"No, I must prove that I am not the one who stole the food, but someone stole the food!"
A blazing flame burned in Zero's eyes. He immediately stood up, picked up the tools in his room, and started to make something.
Soon, Emily knocked on the door. After Zero opened the door, without waiting for Emily to speak, he said directly: "Sorry, Emily, I am doing something very important, which is related to my dignity. If you
If it takes too long to find something for me, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you."
Emily looked through the gap and saw the various tools and equipment in the room, and her heart tightened.
"The Strongest Hunter Competition is coming soon. Brother Ling is still working hard to qualify for this competition, but I..."
Thinking of this, the guilt in my heart deepened.
