Chapter 192 - Star of Bliss

The room was dimly lit.
The crimson red skirt with the black undertones had a stately drape. It seemed unreal as it hung in the dark closet. Wu Jin blurted out, “You wear it––”
The big boss raised his gaze and said slowly, “Okay.”
“I’ll wear it.”
Wei Shi walked slowly out of the dressing room. His features were deep and serious, and his straight black hair was dignified yet charming. The beautiful long dress dragged on the ground, and the original handsome features had morphed into an indescribable cold gorgeousness. His thin lips were bright red like blood and made Wu Jin’s cheeks turn red in an instant!
An unrivalled beauty!
Imperial elder sister Wei Shi slowly curved his lips in a cool smile, shooting an arrow straight through Wu Jin’s heart––
“Little Witch?”
Wu Jin woke up and almost performed an instant sit-up on the recliner.
Researcher Song was startled and almost jumped back in surprise. He then spoke in a concerned manner, “Don’t train too hard. Look at how tired you are and how deeply you were sleeping. What kind of dream were you having…”
The bright, shadowless lamp shone down from above.
The electronic clock showed that it was 9 AM.
Last night had pa.s.sed by in a flash.
Before going to bed, Wu Jin had insisted that he wouldn’t wear women’s clothing and had entered a full-on scuffle with Wei Shi until the big boss had no choice but to take away the dress regretfully.
There was no chance that he’d wear female clothing.
From now on, there was absolutely no way he’d wear women’s clothing again in this lifetime!
In fact, when Wu Jin proclaimed loudly that ‘If it has to be worn, then you wear it!!’, Wei Shi had only held up a small skirt against Wu Jin’s body and gestured briefly, “The cub also wants to see you wearing it.”
WTF?! Hadn’t the cub already merged with you?! He wanted to see it himself, yet he pulled Little Wei into the fight!! Also, where did the cub come from?!
Early in the morning, 7 AM.
Wu Jin still had two dark circles under his eyes as he went to have his facial camouflage implanted.
The reclining chair that Wu Jin was leaning back in was set at a 30 degree angle from the ground and was covered with a layer of pink velvet. It seemed to have been refitted from some type of manicure and eyelash salon seat. Researcher Song stood next to Wu Jin and stuck his head close to observe the proceedings while tsking in amazement.
Wu Jin blinked his eyes. The skin on his face felt a little sticky.
The person responsible for implanting the camouflage was a capable professional woman. She gestured for Wu Jin to reach out, and he could feel a slight itchiness at his fingertips. Wu Jin bowed his head and saw that his fingertips had been covered by a faint layer of film, completely transforming his fingerprints.
“It’s done.” The woman’s voice rang out, “The camouflage will soon become a film layer, and the outermost layer can be removed within three seconds. There are a total of two layers, just in case.”
“Mister Wu, please go to the back and change your clothes.” The woman rolled her eyes at the idle Researcher Song and handed Wu Jin a folder, “Your new ident.i.ty and background introduction. And the cat––”
A staff member who was carrying a cat carrier immediately handed it over to Wu Jin, trembling as they did so. The cat carrier bore scratch and bite marks all over it.
The cat inside was obviously unhappy!
Wu Jin accepted the cat carrier.
There was a swish, and a white cat jumped out!
“……” Wu Jin looked at it for a long time before recognizing that it was the black cat that the big boss had raised, only it had been dyed white.
“Camouflage requirements.” Researcher Song quickly moved out of the white cat’s attack range and explained to Wu Jin, “This cat had been trained and can be used at critical times.”
A cat that had run out of R-Code Base on its own wouldn’t have an ordinary cat’s genes. Researcher Song whispered to Wu Jin in a low voice and made a gesture to mean that this d.a.m.ned cat would start scratching people whenever it heard the word ‘R-Code’.
“The cat has been on camera at Crosson before and was clearly black as charcoal. It’s too eye-catching. Last night, we secretly dyed its fur while it was sleeping, and it exploded when it woke up this morning!”
During their conversation, the white cat gouged at the wallpaper in the lab again and again!
The lady who’d helped Wu Jin with his camouflage shook her head, “It doesn’t like white. That’s fine, catch the cat.”
Wu Jin helped catch the cat and pressed it down on the experimental table.
The female researcher picked up the bio ion spray paint, “What color should we change it to?”
Wu Jin was struck by inspiration and opened up the terminal, displaying a series of leopard cats and tabby cats for the cat to choose from. The white cat reluctantly poked at an image.
The female researcher rolled up her sleeves and began to spray paint, “Leopard cat spots, right? The cat’s fur isn’t long enough, so how about covering it with a coat of fake fur––”
The black cat suddenly started to struggle.
The female researcher understood, “Got it. It doesn’t want to become a leopard cat, it just likes the spots.”
The three people and a cat stayed in the lab for a long time.
The final design for the cat was a Bengal leopard cat.
Wu Jin was sweating from the exertion when he went into the dressing room. The coat hangers were lined with coats, windbreakers, and accessories. Even the b.u.t.tons were c.u.mbersome and luxurious. In the background information, Wu Jin’s new ident.i.ty was that of a youngest son of a middle-cla.s.s aristocratic family at the frontier of the Empire.
A young master who could just count money while lying down.
A full body mirror stood at the back of the dressing room.
The Wu Jin in the mirror only looked similar to the original one. His eye sockets were deeper, his facial features more conspicuous, and the originally round eyes were a little more elongated and slender.
Wu Jin felt that he now looked like a mixed blood Wu Jin. He had clearly been a pure Little Witch before!
The youth removed his coat and attempted to put on the expensive clothing piece by piece.
10 o’clock.
Everyone who was setting out had been somewhat camouflaged.
The star ship waited quietly in Floating City’s Star Harbor. Wei Shi came out of the interrogation room, and a group of robots carried precision instruments onto the transport vehicle––
The dressing room door opened with a bang.
Wei Shi narrowed his eyes.
A youth in white clothing stood at the door. The tailored jacket imitated the style of Imperial ceremonial soldiers, with slightly modified lines and a smooth cut. A decorative copper knife hung at his waist, and he wore numerous elegant silver ornaments.
––An ignorant young master who only knew to show off his wealth was exquisitely shown in this scene.
However, Wu Jin didn’t look obnoxious.
He looked dazed and confused and didn’t seem to have any attack power.
Wei Shi was satisfied.
A meow rang out, and the little leopard cat rubbed against Wu Jin’s knee before jumping up to his neck.
The brown speckled fur looked expensive and gorgeous. The cat’s round eyes met with Wu Jin’s slender ones, and the expensive youth reached out to scratch the cat’s chin.
Wei Shi strode forward and drove away the black cat disguised as a little leopard cat.
He personally wrapped a pure white cape and hood around Wu Jin.
It was still winter in the Empire.
Wu Jin quickly went on alert.
The big boss wasn’t even going in disguise! Not only was he not wearing women’s clothing… At this time, he was even wearing casual clothing, and he’d only covered his face with a thin layer of camouflage film––
Wu Jin asked about the big boss’s ident.i.ty, “Who are you?”
Wei Shi tied up the cape for the young master, then took out a monocle from his pocket and placed it on Wu Jin’s left eye. The fine gold frame added a layer to Wu Jin’s brows, making his features appear fine and delicate.
At the side of the small round face, the chain that hung down from the lens was gentle and elegant.
Wei Shi was expressionless, but his mood was cheerful.
“I’m your bodyguard.”
The star ship set out from Floating City Base.
Wei Shi had taken less than 20 people with them. According to Researcher Song, bringing more people would be useless.
After all, they were only going to try and get their hands on the modified drug formula in the ‘seed technology’.
Wu Jin was nervous, “What if we can’t get it?!”
Researcher Song didn’t seem concerned, “We’ll just steal it. Every genetically modified person with the emotional lock is a desperate bandit. Take a guess about whether or not the recipe holder is scared of death or not. If it really doesn’t work, there’s also political pressure. Speaking of which, the d.u.c.h.ess from last time––we’re here.”
The party arrived at the transit Star Harbor.
Wu Jin quickly put in his ident.i.ty chip and disguised himself as an imperial aristocrat as he entered the first cla.s.s channel.
At the other end of the connecting port, a larger and more luxurious star ship was berthed and quietly waiting.
In front of Wu Jin were two aristocratic ladies in fluffy dresses. They would look back at Wu Jin from time to time, talking and laughing happily between themselves. On Wu Jin’s side, he was only escorted by his bodyguard.
Wei Shi was expressionless.
Wu Jin was so nervous his small curls were about to stand on end––
The flight attendants respectfully asked Wu Jin to stretch out his hands for the security check.
“Wait a minute.” Wei Shi spoke slowly.
The flight attendant paused.
The leopard cat in Wu Jin’s arms twisted coquettishly as the young master raised his chin and pursed his lips. His att.i.tude was very proud, as though he didn’t want to say a single word. The captain of his bodyguard picked up the cat––
The probe found no unusual traces.
The two of them pa.s.sed the security check and successfully entered the cabin.
The star ship that was headed towards the ‘Star of Bliss’ was occupied by n.o.bles, businessmen, and politicians who walked on the s.p.a.cious and clean red carpet in comfortable and fluffy slippers.
Wu Jin’s appearance soon attracted a small amount of attention.
A beautiful young master holding a cat was always a pleasant sight to see. However, the youth’s jewelry and clothing materials were only of a medium to upper grade, and were even a little overdone. Most of the pa.s.sengers in the cabin had sharp eyes, and except for one or two people who wanted to chat him up, everyone else finally moved their attention away.
Wei Shi escorted Wu Jin into their private cabin.
The door closed.
The youth sat on the sofa that was half covered with fur and raised up his small round face, waiting for Wei Shi’s instructions. His pale cheeks were a little flushed from the warmth of the cape, and the slightly reddened eyes behind the single monocle held inexplicable temptation––
The young aristocrat’s bodyguard bowed his head.
Wu Jin: “!! Ahhhhh––”
Wu Jin: “Whoa––Wuwuahh––”
The flight attendant knocked on the door politely.
Wei Shi: “One gla.s.s of gin, one Moscato. Thank you.”
Inside the private cabin, the beautiful youth was lying down on the sofa and covering his face with a pillow. The flight attendant respectfully closed the door. The n.o.bles in this era really wouldn’t stand if they would sit! If they could lie down, they wouldn’t even sit up! No wonder these beautiful barons and princes would all become fat when they grew up!
Wei Shi turned his head and picked up the Wu Jin who was attempting to suffucate himself up with a pillow.
The virtual screen slowly opened up.
In addition to the drinks list, the first cla.s.s cabin also had its own private bar that contained several common drinks. Wu Jin poured out a bottle of mineral water that cost 17 credits for himself and the big boss. Meanwhile, the Empire’s political news was broadcast on the screen.
A new round of elections in the House of Lords had just begun, and the canva.s.ser for votes in the news report was the d.u.c.h.ess.
Shao Yu’s mother.
“Young Master Shao died on the 13th last month. The Duke of Lan never appeared in public until yesterday…”
Under the strong lighting, the d.u.c.h.ess looked haggard as she nodded to the media. In the lower left corner of the broadcast, there was even a photo put up for contrast from a few years ago. At the time Shao Yu had just arrived at the empire, and this iron fisted woman had hugged her long lost son and burst into tears.
“Thank you.” The d.u.c.h.ess rejected the microphone that was handed to her and spoke in a weak yet firm voice. “I will not be running in this election. I’m just an ordinary mother who just said goodbye to my child.”
Wu Jin: “……” Wait a minute, Shao Yu was still alive!
The eyes of the reporter holding the microphone grew sour from these words.
There were people behind him who still had questions.
The d.u.c.h.ess spoke hoa.r.s.ely, “… Equal rights? Yes, last year, my campaign slogan was ‘radical development’, but now I just want to speak for the weak. I’ve lost Little Yu, but there are still tens of thousands of genetically modified who are still struggling in hospital beds and suffering like he was. I can stay out of politics, but I have to speak up for them. Not only the genetically modified, but also the unemployed, children in welfare homes, ex-Imperial soldiers, transgender people…”
The footage shrank down to show the real-time voting curve for the House of Lords.
The d.u.c.h.ess, who’d declared that she was ‘unwilling to run’, was in first place.
Wu Jin: “……”
The door opened, and Researcher Song came in carrying a gla.s.s of orange juice.
Researchers who often lived in laboratories had to have hands that didn’t shake. Researcher Song had always been against alcoholic beverages.
The researcher shot a hateful look at the d.u.c.h.ess.
“She’s a political genius.”
“That’s how voting is. They pity the mother who lost her young son and like to listen to beautiful slogans.” Researcher Song shrugged, “However, I hope that she can win the election.”
“Politicians are all the same, but Floating City can control her. What’s more, we’re going to delve into the drug formula this time and need her to lead the way.”
Wu Jin nodded.
Researcher Song patted Wu Jin on the shoulder and projected their plan of action into the air.
“The Star of Bliss. The most luxurious paradise for n.o.bles and capitalists in the Empire. Well, it’s a paradise for adults.”
“The most important thing––it was the place where the d.u.c.h.ess handed over the reagent several times. No matter who the supplier is, they must have been a.s.signed to the Star of Bliss. This time, the soldiers from Floating City will follow the d.u.c.h.ess’ research team and take the reagent. I’ll be in the same team as Brother Wei and Little Witch.”
“The reagent we’ll be taking this time is the initial inducing reagent for the emotional lock. I will separate out the sample as soon as I get it and compare it with Little Witch’s blood.”
Wu Jin understood.
The origin of the emotional lock was the initial reagent, but the ‘master key’ for the emotional lock was himself, as a scabbard. What Researcher Song wanted to do was compare the ‘initial condition’ with the ‘final solution’ and restore the ‘problem’ that was destroyed in the R-Code Base.
Then, he would work out a ‘general solution’ that could be applied to every genetically modified person.
“So.” Researcher Song raised up his gla.s.s, “I wish us every success.”
The taste of the sweet, dry white wine lingered on the tip of the tongue.
The virtual screen was playing a drama series from the Empire, and there was an ad for the Stardust Cup in the middle.
In the era of interstellar navigation, the survival shows seemed to be an indispensable part of entertainment in every star region. Bravery and resourcefulness were praised by people from different nationalities and cultures.
Wu Jin flipped through the duty-free sales catalogue in the cabin.
The black cat was busy climbing the curtain.
Wei Shi was watching Wu Jin.
Wei Shi glanced over, “Buying the necklace?”
666 white diamonds surrounded a large pink diamond.
Wu Jin: “It’s for women!”
Wei Shi: “What about the gun.”
The Star of Bliss’s ‘mechanical punk lolita’ retro themed monopoly. Buy the set and get a small gift (hand made Gatling gun, retro pocket watch, copper ring necklace).
Wu Jin: “……”
Researcher Song remembered the scene of Brother Wei bringing the dress back from the Crosson Show and sighed, “The world of fans…”
There was a ding-dong sound.
The ship had reached the port.
Wu Jin tossed the duty-free catalogue back onto the bookshelf and got off the ship with the leopard cat in his arms.
Researcher Song pulled Wu Jin back, “It’s the Star of Bliss, the Star of Bliss! Since we’re here, we should have some fun!”
Wei Shi beckoned.
Wu Jin obediently walked over to the big boss and stood still.
The man slowly undid the top b.u.t.ton of Wu Jin’s tight collar, “I’ll teach you.”
Juurensha: Hahaha, WS I’m sure you’d make a great domineering Jie!
xiin: decadent Wu Jin… yum.
