Chapter 32

Chapter 32

When Lu Wei woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the following day.

The sun was almost shining directly on his posterior.

Brother Earth yawned widely and summoned a care-taking robot to clean him up.

Damn it!

Your Majesty the Dog!!

If not for the fact that he was attending an interstellar conference at this moment, Lu Wei would have definitely given him a good beating.

After a hot bath and consuming both breakfast and lunch in one sitting, he finally had the energy to sprawl on his recliner and start gaming.

It had been four days since his last login to the Starship game.

Lu Wei entered the game.

Then, he saw a barrage of messages from K.

This guy must have lost his mind, sending him over seventy or eighty messages.

He single-handedly pushed their intimacy level to 100 just by texting.

???

Brother, you're flirting quite heavily here.

Lu Wei had assumed that after the previous encounter, the streamer would have gotten the hint and ceased pestering him.

Yet, here they were again.

K seemed to be lurking in the game, eagerly sending a voice message the moment he logged on.

"Finally online. Hiding won't help you. Your 'husband' is doomed!"

Lu Wei sipped on the dairy product prepared by his robotic butler and yawned lazily.

Lu Wei: "Brother, you're at it again."

K: "Your nonchalant act won't save you. Today's report will come out, and your military husband who skipped the grand military training could face dismissal or even imprisonment for desertion."

Not understanding fully.

But it doesn't stop Earth Brother from doing a quick search.

Grand Military Training.

Recently, all soldiers on Emperor Star were required to participate. Skipping such an event and still playing games would be considered dereliction of duty.

Lu Wei pondered.

You do have a point.

But what does that have to do with His Majesty the Dog, who casually skips his own royal duties? Your planet's king neglects even his court sessions, so how significant is a mere military training?

Lu Wei: "Bro, let me give you some advice. Instead of trying to evade, focus on improving your skills if you're not good enough."

K: ...

Despite knowing that this person is the receptive partner, I am still continually astounded by their unique linguistic style.

"He'll be investigated by the complaint center today, so just wait and see!"

"Oh."

After turning off the voice chat, K couldn't shake off an unsettling feeling.

Fudge!!

However, dodging military training was a certainty. This time, wouldn't those two finally face the consequences?

Not just K, this incident has caused quite a stir, attracting a substantial number of onlookers.

For a time, the otherwise quite leisurely reporting center received a considerable number of complaint letters.

It has become imperative to give this matter the attention it deserves.

The head of the complaints department had decided to personally investigate the matter, even wearing a body camera for the task.

Their first order of business was naturally to contact the military to identify the soldier who "played games during military training."

They immediately reached out to the military.

Military: "…Please calm down first."

They advised against the investigation, as whoever investigated would likely meet with disaster.

Leader of the complaints department: "We uphold righteousness and will fight against any violations to the end."

Military: "Uh, ha ha."

Leader of the complaints department: "Are you being intimidated? Don't worry, our complaints department reports directly to the royal family and wields considerable authority. Whoever it is will face appropriate punishment."

Military: "…"

Military: "That so-called soldier who neglected military training to play games is His Majesty."

Leader of the Reporting Center: "......."

??????

Who??

That was their damn Majesty!

Not to mention why the hell their King would play such a game, did they even dare to investigate their King?

What was there to investigate anyway?

The official account of the Reporting Center promptly released a statement:

"Recently, we have received numerous reports and have conducted an investigation which has proven them unfounded. We appreciate everyone's trust in our work."

What did this imply?

Did it mean that 'His Royal Fluffy Dog' had officially taken leave?

Netizens were racking their brains, but to no avail.

Due to the overwhelming public criticism, Lu Wei's gaming experience was affected.

No matter what game he joined, he would be forcefully surrounded by spectators.

It made the gameplay rather uncomfortable.

Moreover, Lu Wei had previously agreed with His Majesty the Dog not to play full-dimension games for three months.

Currently, it was still his secret indulgence, every moment was precious!

An anonymous commentator boldly interjected, "Your Majesty the Domesticated Dog, have you perhaps bribed the reporting center? Are you daring enough to meet in person offline?"

Lu Wei was in a state of emotional turmoil, and this person had just walked into the line of fire: "Come on, give me the address!"

Passerby: "..."

Wow, such an imposing tone, it's genuinely quite intimidating.

Passerby: "...Um, let's turn on the camera to get used to it first."

Lu Wei scoffed mockingly, "Coward."

This guy didn't resemble a recipient at all!

"Turn on the video!"

It was a public showdown.

This time, they saw His Majesty the Housebound Dog.

However, Lu Wei didn't reveal his face.

He made a taunting gesture towards the three-dimensional camera.

"Go ahead and gossip to your heart's content, just don't disturb me while I'm gaming."

Although insulted, the anonymous team member did not retort.

Not because he had gone mad.

It was because he saw the two rings on Lu Wei's hand.

One of them was a matching ring with his partner, made from an eternal sapphire.

Something that cost millions of star coins per gram – even the nobles among nobles couldn't afford it.

He had seen its pair during the public ceremony before.

Damn, it seemed to be genuine.

The other ring—

The passerby teammate took a deep breath and nearly passed out.

Very few people would fail to recognize the pattern on that ring.

Holy shit.

"Is that true?"

It's the emblem of Blue Star.

The most combat-effective species in the universe, the Blue Star clan?

And if I'm not mistaken, this ring is the symbol of power within the Blue Star organization.

Blue Star is renowned as an exceptionally powerful combat race, with an innate love for cosmic expansion. Had it not been for the current Emperor, Blue Star would not have willingly become a vassal to the Emperor Star.

For this race, there are only a few key terms:

Powerful, warlike, and supremely self-assured.

The Blue Star Ring, when worn by this individual, signifies that Blue Star will unconditionally protect them, at any time and place.

In other words, "This is one of ours, think twice before you provoke them."

Passerby teammate: Damn!!!

It's the real deal!

After Lu Wei mocked him, the stranger didn't respond for a while.

Earth Bro: "Weren't you up for an offline showdown? Give me your address."

"..." He'd have to be an idiot to challenge the entire Blue Star organization.

In a flash, Apology Guy prostrated himself: "Sorry, big bro, I was wrong. I shouldn't have followed the crowd and bothered you. Actually, I hold you in great admiration and respect. You're a beacon of light in my dark, stupid life! Mom called me for dinner, so I have to go. Wishing you all the best, happiness every day, and a sweet, loving relationship with your partner that bears many noble offspring! May you have two children in one lifetime!"

Confused Lu Wei, who hadn't said a word yet: ?

The troublemaker continued his apology: "I'm sure you're exceptionally intelligent, straightforward, and courageous, while your partner is handsome, clever, and resourceful. You two are the perfect match in the universe! Those who speak ill of you are mentally challenged and will surely be punished by heaven. I despise them on your behalf! With your broad-mindedness, I hope you'll forgive this lowly person."

Like a machine gun, he spewed out his apologies before swiftly logging out of the game.

He even hastily deleted his account, making it impossible for anyone to track him down.

Leaving Earth Bro utterly perplexed.

In the discussion thread titled "Uncovering the True Background of 'His Majesty, the Domesticated Dog'", numerous conspiracy theories abound, with onlookers seemingly enjoying the drama while believing themselves safe behind the veil of the Star Network.

A passerby, freshly awed by the power of the Blue Star ring, typed with a sarcastic smile:

[Believing the nonsense from your tabloids, I almost landed in hot water. Fortunately, I spent five years as a professional admirer, mastering the art of flattery like a rainbow-colored breeze. That skill helped me defuse the crisis swiftly! I advise you envious ones to calm down and not provoke the wrong people! Otherwise, you'll have nowhere to weep when the time comes.]

Soon, replies flooded in, asking for details about his experience.

But there was also suspicion, that he might be a heroic rescue envoy sent by His Majesty the Domesticated Dog to save face.

[Your Majesty, the Domesticated Dog, please switch to your main account to speak!]

"Such exaggeration, quite the boastful one!"

Passerby Brother: Hehe, in reality, it's even more exaggerated than what he described.

Many were curious, so Brother Passerby directly released a video of himself with "His Majesty the Housebound Dog."

Passerby A: [Watch it yourself, and you'll understand the value of my praising flattery. 3D Video.avi]

The video started playing promptly.

In the clip, His Majesty the Housebound Dog didn't reveal his face; instead, he made a mocking gesture right at the beginning of the 3D video. His hands were slender and elegant, indicating his youth, with a ring on each of his middle and ring fingers.

They shimmered under the spotlight, dazzling to behold.

It was almost blinding.

Tens of thousands of onlookers: Hmm, we've been mocked—

But that wasn't the main point!

The key focus was those two rings!

One was an eternal blue crystal, which was indistinct in the previous footage of the military husband, but now, through the repeated viewing of the 3D images, its authenticity could be confirmed!

The other one was—

The discussion forum was flooded with posts at lightning speed.

"Goodness me, it's not just the Eternal Azure Crystal Ring—did you all see that???"

[The Blue Star Power Ring!! Damn, is this for real!]

[What is this about the Blue Star's power ring?]

Representing the jewel of Blue Star, this ring is bestowed upon those who have earned the organization's approval. Whoever wears it signifies that they are under the protection of Blue Star, and any attempt to offend them will not go unchecked by the members of Blue Star.

[Is it that Blue Star? The planet of the ultra-powerful warrior race that reveres strength in the cosmos?!!]

[Holy sh*t!!! This is truly amazing!]

[So His Majesty the 'Domesticated Dog' has a partner from the Blue Star species? Damn impressive.]

[Not only is his partner from Blue Star, but they can even bestow a Blue Star authority ring. Thanks to the Star Network for letting me witness this!]

[Now I understand why the military husband would be drawn to His Majesty the 'Domesticated Dog' as a submissive partner.]

My goodness, how romantic! Am I the only one finding this incredibly sweet?

For Blue Star's species, they're the sole exception exempt from mandatory military training. This would neatly resolve the issue and confirm the accuracy of the reporting center.

Moreover, a partner who can bestow a power ring is simply extravagant!

Compared to that streamer K, who constantly puts on a show in front of the camera, using shallow tactics to gain popularity.

This is truly the interstellar number one darling couple!
