CH 13

He Xile's ears turned red almost instantly under the astonished gaze of the two bosses. His toes curled, wishing he could pick out a Mount Everest and the Chinese flag on it from the Star Net on the spot.

Ahhhhh.

What the hell did I say just now!

He admitted that he was a led astray by that man named Ma Jieli, who dared to call it a photo album with some random photo, and dared to call it a high-definition video even after a blurry video!

"No, it's not like that..."

He quickly waved his hands. "I mean, he’s selling those human beings..."

The rest of his words were vague.

Unauthorized selling of other people's photos or videos was also an illegal event on Interstellar, infringing portrait rights, privacy rights, etc. Although He Xile was the person involved, he didn't dare to speak too loudly, for fear that the robot that had just taken away the man would also fall from the sky and forcibly take him away.

"Oh oh oh… so you meant that."

The boss coughed lightly and understood. "I do have his contact information here, but if possible, it's better to ask your parents to take you to the museum—"

Halfway through, the word got stuck in his mouth.

As the sudden realization dawned on him.

—Now it wasn’t like entering a museum at random and seeing humans directly.

It was said that the precious human firebrand, whose heartbeat was strangely revived, had now applied for full citizenship of the Empire, enjoying the same rights and obligations as them.

No wonder that Ma Jieli kept saying that he had the wealth code.

The topic of "human beings" has been on fire recently.

Let alone the citizen who was living in the Empire's main star, which was close to the Museum, who had seen humans many times over the years, those who live in remote galaxies, who had not been to the imperial capital in the past ten years, wanted to see the human face very badly.

Was it really true that a human being was as cute as people on the Internet said, and what would he look like after coming back to life?

Not to mention the place where he was living right now. It was the palace, and his guardian was the fearsome Majesty.

So if they wanted to see human beings again, didn’t they have to look for people like Ma Jieli who have "resources" in their hands?

And His Majesty...

As if thinking of something, the Uncle’s expression changed slightly, and he looked conflicted.

The boss next to him patted his shoulder and said, "If the kid wants to watch it, just give him the contact information. Anyway, there may not be a chance to see the real person in the future. Oh, yes, the dish I told you about last time, would you like to try it too? I bet that human being will not survive a month in His Majesty's hands. If you win, you can earn this amount."

Saying this, he made a gesture with his hand.

He Xile watched the two blink.

.....What did that mean?

“What are you talking about?”

Although the Uncle couldn't see his expression, he also knew that this kind of thing was not good to say in front of children, so he quickly stopped the boss and signaled that He Xile was still there.

The boss made a zip-up motion. "Okay, I’ll stop talking. You can't teach children badly."

"Come on, raise your hand, and I will give you Ma Jieli's contact information."

Drip A new communication number immediately appeared on his terminal.

He thanked the Uncle and the boss, and when he was about to leave, he still couldn't hold back and said seriously, "His Majesty is a good man."

The boss burst out laughing.

He made a pleading gesture, saying, "Yes, yes, it was me who said something wrong before, little friend, don't take it to heart."

He walked away a few meters, turned back, and saw the two joking around. He thought distressingly that, as far as his contacts went, everyone had bad opinions about His Majesty, but he was a good man. So, was it because the people here have a deep misunderstanding of His Majesty, or did he not know His Majesty well enough?

Or maybe both.

He Xile didn’t broadcast live tonight.

After a quick and happy dinner, he returned to his room and sent a message to the man named Ma Jieli, "Hello, have you come out of the Network Security Management Office? I have some business matters and would like to discuss them with you.”

The message sank like a deep sea, but he was not in a hurry.

He sat at the desk, turned on the terminal, and began to read the book he hadn't finished in the morning.

It was probably for the sake of getting kids interested in books, so books in the Empire were made with little animations, which were very vivid and interesting to depict the plot in general.

He was immersed in the story of a rabbit-eared girl leading the crowd to form a rebel army to demand the abolition of slavery when the terminal rang, and the 3D screen in front of him disappeared, pulling him into reality.

Ma Jieli, "Just got out. What's the business?"

He Xile said, "Can we meet on StarNet? It's not convenient to talk in the terminal."

"Okay," Ma Jieli responded.

Both parties agreed on the coordinate point, and He Xile logged on to Star Net.

As soon as he entered, he saw the target person at the agreed place, not far away.

Ma Jieli was still in a suit and leather shoes, but he wasn’t wearing a system pre-set suit, but real clothes. If you looked carefully, you could see some old traces, and the shirt inside was even a little whitish after washing.

There were a great deal of people coming and going around, and it was hot and lively.

Instead of selling photos or short videos about humans to the crowd, he leaned against the wall, his body slightly hunched, and his eyes fixed on a small piece of ground in front of him. The expression on his face was lonesome, and the whole person looked out of place with the hustle and bustle around him, without the greasy smile of his first meeting.

He Xile walked over and said, "Hello."

The man's eyes were slightly lax, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hearing He Xile's soft voice, he subconsciously straightened his body and was about to smile, putting on the most energetic state, but as soon as he met the masked child in front of him, he was taken aback.

The person in front of him was obviously a minor, he couldn’t have been the businessman who had contacted him at the terminal to discuss business.

Thinking of this, he was all relaxed again, looking over his mask, and suddenly said, "Oh... so it’s you, did you repent and come to me to buy things?"

He smiled wryly. "I asked you to buy it before, but you didn't buy it, now it's too late and are all gone."

Recently, the resurrection of human beings has caused a lot of noise, and even the administration has been stricter than ever.

In the past, human beings had no consciousness, and everyone turned a blind eye to his sale of such infringing items online, but now that people were alive and were still serious citizens, of course, it was different.

After he was brought into the Network Security Management Office, in order to prove his innocence, he had no choice but to recount what happened at that time. This also led to the search and destruction of all the photos and videos about human beings on him. All the gray income earned before was also fined together, and now there were even outstanding payments.

He Xile shook his terminal in front of him. "No, I'm the one who talked to you about business before."

Ma Jieli frowned and couldn’t believe what he said.

He had just returned from the management office and had not been here for long. This little doll in front of him couldn't possibly know what he was here for unless he was telling the truth.

So it was really him who contacted him.

Ma Jieli took a breath, and his eyes suddenly became darker than before, almost dull.

But when he looked at He Xile, he still forced a smile, reached out, and rubbed He Xile's head gently. "You child... well, Uncle is in a bad mood today, so don't make fun of me."

He Xile didn't dodge away.

He directly posted his terminal and showed him his identity information.

Ma Jieli glanced over casually.

Ma Jieli, "???"

Ma Jieli, "!!!" 

Instantly, he stood straight. “You.”

With just one word, He Xile put his hand on his lips, gesturing him to keep quiet. Ma Jieli froze for a moment, glanced at the crowd not far away, and understood.

He suppressed his excitement, and his eyes almost instantly turned red.

Heh!

Right in front of me!

He even stood up!

Long live human beings!!!

My God—

He was very excited but thinking of what happened when the two met for the first time, he was a little embarrassed.

He actually used those kinds of words to sell the concerned person’s photos and videos he took to parties! No wonder the human being exuded shock at that time and insisted on saying that he wanted to see the content before deciding whether to buy it or not...

Thinking of what he had done, his face flushed.

Looking at the little human being in front of him, he felt ashamed and uncomfortable and said incoherently, "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were this human being before, otherwise, I wouldn't sell you like that... No, I mean, I shouldn't have used your photos and videos to make money for profit. God, I can't believe I bullied such a…”

He used his hand to compare the height of He Xile. "A human being who looks like a child."

Ma Jieli was really frustrated.

When he looked at photos and videos of human beings before, he didn’t have any sense of reality. He just felt that the people on the screen looked small and should be cute, and there would be nothing more.

But when a human stood in front of him, it was much more shocking than the photos and videos he'd taken before, even though He Xile was wearing a mask.

He opened his mouth and felt that he had nothing else to say but an apology. He could only repeat over and over again, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Please forgive my reckless and improper behavior."

He Xile shook his head and said, “It's okay, you don't need to apologize to me."

He raised his eyes, locked eyes with the middle-aged man, and said, "I have studied the relevant domestic laws and know that all the money you've earned through this illegal income shall be returned to the party at three times the price, and there shall be a corresponding proportion of the mental distress fee."

These were all expressly stipulated.

He opened his hands with a serious expression.

Ma Jieli, "..."

He never thought that humans would come to ask for debts!

Looking at the small hand held out in front of him. He wiped his face and explained, "It's like this, this afternoon, I was just taken away by the people from the Network Security Management Office, and I have already paid the fine..."

He Xile blinked. "Isn't that why you got caught?"

Ma Jieli looked confused.

That?

Which?

He immediately came to his senses with a distressed expression. "You saw it all??"

He Xile nodded his head.

Then he said what had happened there, "That's it, so if nothing goes wrong, the money should be in your account within a week..."

Wow

He Xile's eyes immediately lit up. "Really?"

Ma Jieli, "Yes."

He added, "If you don't believe me, you can go to the communication link management office now, and they will have records there."

He Xile also didn’t hesitate to ask the management staff directly in front of Ma Jieli. The staff was very shocked when he received a call from a human being, who said on the spot that he would directly send the money to his account.

Ding dong.

A large sum of money arrived.

After taking a look, he saw that there were more than 10,000 star coins.

God!

It's a huge sum of money!

“Alright! Just wait here for me!"

He Xile's eyes sparkled, and he rushed to the food stall that he had been coveting.

Ma Jieli, "?"

What?!

The only honorable human being in the entire Empire wanted to eat food that only cost five-star coins from the food stalls on the Star Net, but he had to defend his rights and get compensation before he could eat it.

His Majesty abused the human stone hammer!!
