Chapter 249 It Seems Like It's Solved

The matter of the Aerym elves seemed to be resolved all at once, and Hao Ren felt a sense of relief in advance. In the end, it seemed that he hadn't put in much effort: just some thinking and making a decision. But as the saying goes, some things can only be done by certain people—this was the only thing Hao Ren could do, and he was the only one who could do it.

However, he knew very well that his troubles were still to come. Relocating an entire race wasn't something that could be done with a phone call. From now on, his work had just begun, and his task would not be completed until these elves safely arrived at their new home and confirmed that they had adapted to the local environment. So from now on, he would have to get busy.

Before going to Hesperia to inform her of everything, he needed to organize the progress here into a report and send it to Raven 12345.

"Do you think Raven 12345 will kill me if I tell the whole truth?" Hao Ren asked the data terminal worriedly while organizing the report. "I'm blatantly exploiting loopholes. I feel like just this sentence in the report is enough to get struck by lightning: 'Based on my needs for exploration, mining, and scientific research on this planet, it is necessary to build essential outposts and settlements, and I hereby summon 1,076,520,000 elves, who are both tenants and employees…'"

Lili squatted on the bench listening to Hao Ren reading the report, tilting her head and scratching her face with her paw: "Landlord, to be honest, being struck by lightning once might not be enough…"

"You don't understand Officer Raven. After seeing this report, she definitely won't be angry. Instead, she'll think that Hao Ren's temperament is a perfect match for hers, like thunder striking the earth…"

"The way you describe it is no different from being struck by lightning," Hao Ren slapped the data terminal back on the table. "You talk like you understand her."

"Heh, I almost crashed her system several times when she was messing with plug-ins. I gained a profound understanding of Officer Raven in the face of death. You must show your imaginative side to make her feel good—because her brain has a hard time reacting to normal signals."

Hao Ren spent a lot of effort to create this report of more than a thousand words, filled with various details of courting death and broad ideas. He felt that he was really not suitable for this kind of writing work, but reports were really something that had to be written. After he entered everything into the terminal, he pulled Lili over as usual: "Help me proofread…"

Although this husky usually looked unreliable, her identity as a "literary worker" was indeed real. The various funny images she revealed around Hao Ren and Vivian were just because she didn't have to pretend to be human anymore after getting familiar with each other, so her true nature was revealed. Lili took the data terminal and helped Hao Ren correct some inappropriate grammar, and then deleted some overly suicidal sentences and unnecessary details. When she sent it back, the one thousand words were only seven hundred left…

"It's still not more than eight hundred words. I didn't even write enough eight hundred words the year I took the college entrance examination. I probably won't be able to get over this hurdle in my life." Hao Ren shook his head, looking at the report that was much more pleasing to the eye after Lili's correction, and then sent it out. Then he sat in the chair and silently waited for thunder. If there was no thunder within five minutes, it meant that the data terminal's judgment of that five-digit psychopath was correct.

As a result, five minutes passed, and nothing happened. Raven 12345 sent back a sentence: "Reading, wait a moment, no comments yet."

It seemed that this hurdle was over. As long as the cosmic deity on duty had no objection, it meant that there were no longer any obstacles to the Aerym elf immigration.

The rest was to go to Hesperia to explain the situation. However, Hao Ren felt that this matter could be put off for a while: he and Hesperia needed to rest, and the bat-dog and Izhaks also needed to rest. This group of people rushed all the way from Earth, and before they could even warm their seats, they caught up with the thruster explosion. After the explosion, they followed up with all-weather disaster relief, and then holed up in the room to write reports or hold meetings with a group of elders. Neither Hao Ren, the superman, nor Hesperia, the high-level mage, could withstand this kind of consumption. They really needed to rest for a day. Moreover, that Captain 883 was still busy running long distances, so he wasn't in a hurry, and others couldn't be in a hurry either.

Lili was quiet for a while before lying on the table and humming. She was hungry and super bored, and the latter should be especially fatal for a husky. There was no good food here, but Hao Ren's personal space was always filled with enough food to stuff Lili to death four or five times, but boredom was really unsolvable: the Aerym society had no movies or games, no public entertainment, and there wasn't even a place to stroll on the street. This highly strained society had long abandoned all activities that could not generate value. The people had no resources to play, nor did they have the leisure. Hesperia was shocked when she saw a large balloon with a banner hanging on it. The boredom of this place was conceivable. Moreover, the city outside was still in a post-disaster state, so it was even more impossible for Lili to run around and play. Hao Ren felt sorry for the girl humming there, so he handed over the data terminal: "Why don't you play Tetris for a while?"

"Why can't you use me to do something serious, you bastard!"

"No, I have to restrain my instincts. People here are suffering a disaster. I can't indulge in playing," Lili suddenly became righteous, as if she wasn't so heartless. She came to the window and looked outside, "Well… it seems that the Royal District is clearing obstacles. Landlord, give me spicy sticks. I've finished the ones I brought."

"You don't eat properly all day long." Hao Ren took out a few packs of spicy sticks from his personal space and handed them over. Lili grabbed the snacks and walked to her room. After a while, he heard faint noises coming from the far distance. A royal guard rushed in: "Just now, a huge white monster jumped off the terrace from your floor, and now it's scratching the wall in front of the Royal District barrier—do you know about this?"

Hao Ren fell directly from the chair. Only then did he belatedly realize the relationship between Lili mentioning the Royal District outside was clearing obstacles and the spicy sticks: that husky with super-strong mobility actually ran to help again, and this time she went in her transformed state!

Several people quickly ran to the window and sure enough, they found a husky two or three stories high circling anxiously, digging pits, and jumping up and down at the edge of the Royal District. It was obvious that she wanted to go out but was blocked, and around her was a circle of elves who were on guard and at a loss, and the two sides were struggling to communicate. When that idiot went out, she probably didn't think about anything (or maybe her brain was empty after eating too many spicy sticks), and now it was probably difficult for her to explain the situation to the gate guards with her ability to only howl after transforming. Vivian immediately showed an anxious look, and opened her wings with a crash to fly over: "I'll go and watch, she's more likely to cause trouble after transforming!"

Hao Ren hurriedly reminded: "Go to Lili's room and see if she left her clothes, and bring them to her."

Although Vivian had taught her seriously several times, Lili had not yet learned the trick of not destroying her clothes when transforming, so she had to change clothes every time she transformed. This also led to Vivian always having to follow behind that idiot's butt to carry her forgotten clothes. Fortunately, Lili had only transformed a few times so far, and she only ran to the wasteland behind the house to transform when she wanted to get some air on a full moon night, so it wasn't too much trouble for others. Hao Ren only found one thing interesting: these two were originally enemies, but look at them now, except for occasionally quarreling, how do they look like enemies?

The elven soldier who had come to report the situation was stunned. Hao Ren smiled wryly and explained to him: "Hehe, the one who jumped down just now is one of our people. She wanted to go to the city to help clear obstacles."

The elven soldier left in a daze. Hao Ren felt that another good child had been ruined by the pit-filling creatures around him. But he didn't have time to sigh more, because Raven 12345's voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Yo, looks like you're having a good time over there?"

Hao Ren quickly straightened his expression: "All thanks to the organization's training…"

He knew that Raven 12345 had indeed come to ask for details after reading the report.

"Get out of here, you're learning to be like this," Raven 12345 sounded in a good mood, "I've finished reading the report, your thinking is quite broad. I originally guessed that you would find a way to move those elves, but I didn't expect you to send them to my side—it's really kind of you to remember that planet."

"Then this matter…"

"Approved, it's not a big deal anyway, and you chose to handle this matter with your personal ability and a private company, so I don't need to mobilize the Empire's colony ships for you. As long as you don't use the Empire's colony ships, the whole thing can be positioned as a local action below e-level. As long as the premise of civilization preservation is not violated, everything else is easy to say. The management regulations of the macro-world are much looser than they were back then—by the way, these should all be reminded by the terminal next to you, right? Exploiting loopholes in these regulations and event characterization customary laws doesn't seem like a skill that a rookie can master."

Hao Ren silently looked at the data terminal, and the latter immediately turned off all the lights on its body and lay on the table pretending to be a coaster.

For the first time, he felt that this terminal was quite useful.
