My carefree life in space

Chapter 66 A Call from the Imperial Star

Imperial Star, Imperial Research Institute.

"Have the results come out yet? What were the findings?" Dr. Ellison, the director of the Imperial Research Institute, asked his assistant Zhou Yang anxiously as he looked at the data on the virtual screen in front of him.

Recently, two magical things suddenly became popular on the Imperial Star: elixirs and spiritual fruits.

These two substances are said to have miraculous effects. Scientifically rigorous researchers initially did not believe it, but more and more people have come forward to confirm that the effects of these two substances are indeed as rumored.

This forced them to take it seriously, so they arranged for people to stake out those two stores. As soon as the stores had new arrivals, no matter what they were, they would snap them up first.

Until yesterday, thanks to the efforts of the entire staff, they finally collected all the goods from those two shops. As soon as they got their hands on the items, they immediately began analyzing and studying them.

If we can unravel its mysteries, it will undoubtedly be a great joy for all of humanity across the galaxy.

Therefore, as soon as the experimental data came out, Ellison asked the question before his assistant could even report it.

Other researchers gathered around, waiting for Zhou Yang to announce the results.

"According to the experimental data, the main ingredients of these pills are herbal plants, including roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits. Different pills have different ingredients and proportions."

Everyone looked at each other, bewildered. It was as if this explanation hadn't been given at all; they couldn't understand why these so-called elixirs had such miraculous effects.

Zhou Yang could see everyone's confusion. He was also quite helpless, but he still continued to explain, "Although we have isolated these plant components, they are not within our scope of knowledge. We have not found any matching components in the entire research institute's database."

These words only deepened everyone's confusion. Logically, the most comprehensive data in the entire interstellar space should be in their research institute. If even they didn't have it, then where did the makers of these pills get the raw materials from?

"Could it have come from some undeveloped planet?" some people speculated.

“It’s unlikely. Although we’ve never seen these mother plants, the extracted components show no signs of contamination. On the contrary, their activity is extremely high, a quality that plants from undeveloped planets could not possibly possess,” someone immediately countered.

"So, even if we know all the ingredient ratios, we still can't replicate it?" Ellison asked unwillingly.

“That’s right.” Zhou Yang waved his hand and replied helplessly.

"What about the spirit fruit?" Some people were unwilling to give up and wanted to break through from another angle.

"This is also a point I want to emphasize. In the analysis of the spiritual fruit's components, we discovered that some of its ingredients also appeared in the elixir," Zhou Yang provided an important piece of information.

Those with quick minds had already figured out the connection: "In other words, the raw material for the pill is actually spiritual fruit, or at least spiritual fruit plays a significant role in it."

"This also means that the suppliers of the pills and spiritual fruits are actually the same person, or rather, from the same place," someone added.

Everyone present showed expressions of understanding, but then another problem arose: where did these pills and spiritual fruits come from? Nobody knew. Even the major families couldn't find them, so they had no chance.

"No, there is one person who might know, or rather, definitely."

Ellison's words focused everyone's attention on one person.

Indeed, the spirit fruit first appeared in the Mo family, and Mo Ze, whom everyone thought could not survive, returned alive. If you said he didn't know the specifics, probably no one would believe you.

The scene fell silent again. The truth was right there, but it wasn't something they could easily grasp.

Haven't you heard? To avoid being harassed, the Mo family couple have gone off somewhere to hide away and haven't returned yet.

“This is a matter of great importance concerning the future of the empire. I will go to His Majesty and ask him to contact that Marshal Mo. I believe His Majesty will not refuse this request that is beneficial to the empire,” Ellison concluded.

When everyone else nods at the same time, it is indeed the most effective method.

Mo Ze, far away on planet M19, received a special communication, one that he could not ignore.

"uncle."

"Aze, since you're alright, why don't you come back to the Imperial Star? If I hadn't looked for you, would you have never contacted me?"

Indeed, the one making this communication was none other than the supreme ruler of the empire, His Majesty Emperor Jin Hongyu.

Dean Ellison approached him, hoping he could help contact Mo Ze. Only then did Jin Hongyu realize that his nephew hadn't contacted him since returning.

Of course, the spirit fruit doesn't count. After all, it wasn't delivered to him personally by Mo Ze.

Jin Hongyu was among the first to taste the spiritual fruit, and Mo Kun dared not leave him out of the list. Putting aside his status as emperor, he was also Mo Kun's brother-in-law; how could Mo Kun not send him good things?

After tasting it, Jin Hongyu naturally understood the preciousness of the spiritual fruit. In his opinion, Mo Ze probably wouldn't have any more of such a precious fruit. In addition, since Mo Kun and his wife had left the Imperial Star, he stopped paying attention to the matter.

Therefore, when Dean Ellison told him about the importance of elixirs and spiritual fruits to the future of the empire, and their possible connection to Moze, he personally contacted Moze.

"I'm injured and recovering, otherwise I would have gone back long ago." Mo Ze lied through his teeth, trying to get away with it, but unfortunately His Majesty the Emperor was not easily fooled.

"Stop making excuses. Your story has spread throughout the StarNet. Don't think I don't know." Mo Ze wasn't embarrassed at all, his lie was ruthlessly exposed.

"I'll find time to go back..." Before Mo Ze could finish speaking, Jin Hongyu's voice came from the other end.

"Don't bother looking for time. Someone has come to me begging to see you. You should come back as soon as possible, and bring your fiancée with you. As an elder, I should give her a little something."

Next, Jin Hongyu relayed Dean Ellison's request to Mo Ze.

After hanging up the call, Mo Ze knew that this trip to the Imperial Star was unavoidable. As for Shu Shu, he didn't actually want her to appear in public so soon. But what if she misunderstood and thought he didn't want her involved in his life if he didn't bring her along?

When Lin Shushu saw Mo Ze's troubled expression, she thought something had happened. After learning the details, she made a decision for him directly.

"Go back by yourself. I don't want to go to the Imperial Star for the time being." The Lin family is on the Imperial Star, and now is not the time to confront them, so she won't go.

Although it aligned with his own thoughts, the thought of not seeing Lin Shushu for a few days made Mo Ze regret it a little. "Why don't you come back with me?"

Lin Shushu was speechless. It's not like we'll never see each other again, why is he being so clingy?

No matter how reluctant Mo Ze was to part with Lin Shushu, he eventually left M19 Star alone.
