Shit shovel officer dressed as the emperor

After waiting for a few days, they really did not come back.

There is no noise from the little guys, no fluff from them jumping up and down, the room is always neat and quiet, so quiet that Jingxi feels suffocated.

He felt that he needed to go out to get some air, but he was also worried that after leaving, he would miss the little ones who came back.

He just cleaned Lao Ha's sleeping mat over and over again, replaced the cow's hut with fresh sawdust, and made a soft ball of fluff collected before—Xiao Hui would definitely like this new toy.

Then, he mechanically walked around the room over and over again, unable to calm down at all, and unable to sit down properly.

Only when he moved, his empty heart would feel better.

At this moment, the door of the house was knocked suddenly.

Jing Xi rushed over with one stride and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was his collaborator Gao Chang.

Jing Xi laughed at himself, greeted in a low voice, and then turned around to let him in.

Gao Chang glanced around the room, and slowly walked in behind Jingxi.

"They haven't come back?" Gao Chang asked.

"Yes," Jingxi poured Gao Chang a glass of warm water, "I haven't."

Jingxi asked Gao Chang to sit down, and sat on the opposite sofa by himself, listlessly: "Sorry, I have some... Starnet classes may be suspended for a while."

"It's okay, I know you're not in a good mood recently," Gao Chang shook his head, and then turned his head, not knowing what he was looking for, "They...I mean your pets, what did you leave behind?"

"?" Jingxi didn't understand.

"It's just... something special." Gao Chang asked cautiously.

"Special things?" Jing Xi shook his head in confusion, "Of course not, they are just ordinary little animals."

Gao Chang rubbed his hands, hesitant: "You should know that I am from a noble family, but you may not know much about nobles and royal families."

Gao Chang is a tall middle-aged man, wearing a set of loose overalls that don't fit well, with a slightly general belly and middle-aged fat, with a kind personality. He opened a small company selling agricultural products in the capital of the planet.

From the appearance, this middle-aged uncle with unkempt appearance does not have the slightest aristocratic temperament in the legend-in fact, the nobles and royal families in this world are somewhat mysterious, and there is not much information on the star network.

"I really don't know very well," Jingxi finally became a little curious, "I thought it was just a kind of... class difference?"

"Not exactly," Gao Chang shook his head, "or, at the very beginning, not."

The emergence of the royal family and nobles can be traced back to the earliest days of interstellar civilization. At that time, human beings were still trapped on the parent star, and it was difficult to even go to other planets not far away.

A sunspot storm, or other unknown source of interstellar radiation, changed all that.

A very small part of human beings has a genetic mutation, and the appearance of the first emperor of the empire officially opened the prelude to the interstellar era.

"Members of the royal family and nobles can enjoy more privileges in the empire, but also have to bear more responsibilities than ordinary people," Gao Chang said, "The earliest nobles were genetically evolved, they were stronger than ordinary people, and they were also early interstellar pioneers. "

"Only those who rush to the forefront can get the honor. This is what the first emperor said most often." Gao Chang's eyes lit up when he talked about the first emperor.

"It's amazing," Jing Xi was surprised. He didn't have much impression of the background of the novel—it was just a romance novel after all. "I mean, I never thought that this world would be so special."

Then, he asked curiously: "Then your ability... Sorry, if it's private, just pretend I didn't ask."

"It doesn't matter, my ability is not strong, I can only increase the growth speed of plant seeds," Gao Chang said with a smile, "The ability of nobles is actually not a secret, but something happened later, and the territory of the empire is large enough. I no longer deliberately promote it, but even slightly developed places know this common sense.”

Obviously, the agricultural star that Jingxi is in is not among them.

"But... does this have something to do with my pet?" Jing Xi was still a little confused.

"When genetic evolutionaries use their abilities, they will have some animal characteristics." Gao Chang stretched out his big hands, and then, Jingxi saw that those hands turned into a pair of furry bear paws, and a grass seed in the palm could be used quickly. With an incredible speed, two tender green leaves trembled slightly.

Jingxi was a little frightened, but couldn't help feeling amused: "Very...cute."

For a middle-aged uncle, this may not be considered a compliment.

Gao Chang smiled good-naturedly, turned the big bear's paw lightly, and returned to normal: "It's a bit awkward, but it's still practical."

"I heard, just heard," Gao Chang said, "a genetic mutant with more powerful abilities can turn into a beast, just like a real beast."

"That's definitely impossible," Jingxi shook his head subconsciously, "Little Hui and Lao Ha are very ordinary animals, at most a little smarter, cows may be a little different, but there are no traces of humans at all."

They are normal cats, dogs and rats who like to gnaw on bones, like to take a walk, run around the house and often shed their fur.

If a genetically evolved person becomes like this—is that called degeneration?

"So I'm not sure..." Gao Chang shook his head, "However, I always feel that they look like the ones in the ancient records. You know, pets have changed a lot since they left their home planet. "

Jingxi was taken aback. He was a traveler who thought Xiaohui and the others looked normal, but for the natives of this world, perhaps, this is a very rare atavism?

But now Jingxi is not in the mood to care about their specialness, he just wants to know where his little cuties are.

"If so, how can I know why they suddenly disappeared?" Jing Xi asked.

"Maybe they were discovered and taken away by the imperial patrol," Gao Chang could only guess wildly, "or, they just remembered and went back? I'm not sure if those advanced evolutionaries can keep their minds when they change—" ―After all, I have only heard some legends.”

"Of course it would be the best if this is the case," Jing Xi forced a smile, "But I probably will never know, thank you for coming to comfort me, I will be fine soon."

"That..." Gao Chang's words did not come out of his mouth.

"What's wrong?" Jing Xi heard that he still had something to say.

"It's not impossible to find out, the Royal Archives of the parent planet has information on all evolutionaries." He said hesitantly.

"That's too far away." Jing Xi said with a smile.

"No, no, no," Gao Chang shook his head again and again, "Now there is an opportunity, His Majesty the Emperor is in the post-election, and the rules this time are completely different from before."

Jingxi almost sprayed out, why did he go back again?

He even felt that this incident was ridiculous from the beginning to the end-an emperor needs to find his partner in the entire interstellar, and this kind of plot can only appear in strange love novels.

"This is a great opportunity for you to board the home planet!" Gao Chang's eyes lit up, "Of course, the chance of being selected is very small, but the home star is rarely open to the outside world. I don’t know where your pets are going.”

"More importantly," the middle-aged uncle looked more solemn than ever, "We can prove that we are right!"

Jingxi really didn't understand why this person cared so much about that long history.

"It doesn't matter if others say it's nonsense," Jing Xi said, "It's just something that has passed long ago."

"But this is related to the glory of my family!" Gao Chang, who has always been good-tempered, showed rare stubbornness, "The things you said are very consistent with the records in a book left by my ancestors, but everyone thinks That book is a forgery."

Obviously, this matter is very important to Gao Chang.

"So, I would like to ask you to help me prove that my ancestors were not liars!" This cheerful middle-aged uncle, a strange nobleman who was always slovenly and had different interests, begged Jingxi so sincerely for the first time.

Jingxi was stunned for a while: "But...there are only 1 places, and the entire empire has a population of more than one trillion. I guess I can't be selected!"

"The total is 900 billion, and it will exceed 8000 billion soon," Gao Chang corrected, "but you still have a great chance, and you may have the opportunity to know what happened to your pet—even some Might see them again."

"But it's still too difficult," Jing Xi smiled and shook his head, "Besides, I didn't sign up."

"I have a quota! It depends on whether you are willing to go." Gao Chang immediately looked at him attentively.

Jing Xi was taken aback, but felt a little funny again: "I'm just an ordinary person, what to waste this kind of quota, you can find it from your relatives and friends, they can definitely help you too."

"No, no, no, I think you can do it!" Gao Chang said very firmly, "This time is a little different from before. His Majesty the Emperor has clearly rejected the candidate recommended by the Senate, so the post-election process has entered the last link - the whole people Public election, even if it is a public election, in the past, only the evolutionists were notified—some accidents probably happened this time.” Gao Chang explained.

...It sounds like a presidential election, and it's a very dodgy one.Jingxi complained secretly.

"But it's still a waste of my quota if I go," Jing Xi said.

"I know you are a non-marriage advocate," Gao Chang said sincerely, "You can take this opportunity as someone paying you to go on a trip. That is the mother planet, a place that ordinary people can't go to at all."

This uncle with a simple and honest appearance did not hesitate to encourage Jingxi to take advantage of the royal family.

"I'm sorry, I still have to look for my lost animal." Jing Xi still shook his head again and again, and declined with a wry smile.

"No matter what, you can still think about it carefully, I'll wait for you to change your mind!" Gao Chang still said when he left.

What a mess... Jing Xi shook his head helplessly, and closed the door.

He wasn't in the mood to think about that right now.
