Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

In the Ganwu Continent of the virtual universe, in a manor on the lava island.

Many members of the second generation of the Royce family chatted in the extensive garden of the manor. Compared to the younger generations who like to play virtual games, they prefer to enjoy a quiet and leisurely life with their families.

Entering the manor, Li Qi walked towards the garden.

Mother Winnie was very surprised by Li Qi's appearance. She stood up and walked over quickly, "Eleven!"

"Mother."

Due to participating in the Peak Genius Competition, Li Qi has not seen his mother for more than a year and misses her very much.

Mother Winnie walked over quickly, hugged Li Qi, and said, "I was shopping outside just now, and we were all discussing what kind of genius competition you won in the second place on November 1."

"Eleven is awesome!" Then Winnie held his face, kissed his forehead, and praised: "As expected of his son!"

"Mother..." Li Qi broke away from his mother's arms and said helplessly, "I'm almost a hundred years old."

"I know!" Winnie said forcefully: "But you are not married yet. As long as you are not married, you will always be a child in my eyes!"

Faced with his mother's urging to get married, Li Qi also knew that he wanted to have grandchildren. After all, it was impossible for him not to be envious when he saw his family full of children and grandchildren.

"You also know my current situation." Li Qi sighed: "I spend all my time practicing, and I really don't have time to find a lover."

"Really!" Winnie complained softly.

She also understood the pressure on her son. In order to prevent the family from losing the pasture, her son, who was extremely attached to his family, resolutely left the family and went to Chaoguang Academy to fight for entry into the stellar training camp.

After entering the Star Training Camp, I haven’t been back home for eighty years. For a person who loves his family, this is a great torment!

"Why don't you and father reconsider the opinions I mentioned before?" Li Qi carefully suggested: "Will you try harder?"

"You're such an adult now..." Winnie slapped Li Qi on the back, then rolled her eyes and turned back, "You're not even in shape yet."

Li Qi smiled and followed his mother in the direction of the family elders.

The elders greeted Li Qi one by one, "Eleven."

"eleven!"

…

Li Qi responded with a smile, "Daddy!"

"aunt!"

…

"Dad." Li Qi sat next to the family steward, Huo Lu, "I won second place in the Peak Genius Competition this time, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Lava Empire gave me ten galaxies as a territory."

"What!"

"Ten galaxies!"

"The Lava Emperor is so generous! He directly gave away ten galaxies!"

Hearing this, the elders around were shocked. They had lived in the virtual universe for a long time and understood what ten galaxies were.

At the same time, they also knew that Li Qi was not a big talker. Once he said it, it would probably become a fact.

"The Lava Empire will host these ten galaxies for five hundred years." Li Qi continued: "I can cancel the trusteeship at any time within five hundred years."

"Good trusteeship!" Big Daddy Holu nodded and said: "With the current strength of the family, we are unable to manage the territories of these ten galaxies. The trusteeship of the Lava Empire cannot be better."

"That's right." Other elders on the side also agreed.

They are all self-aware. If the family is allowed to manage a planet, it may not be a big problem, but they do not have the ability to manage countless living planets in ten galaxies! "By the way, eleven." Sixth father Gary Buel asked: "When will you return to Kuka?"

Hearing this, other elders also listened attentively, especially those female elders who had married in. Their families often asked when Li Qi would come back and if they had anyone they liked.

Li Qi shook his head and said: "I am now a core member of Virtual Universe Company. I have to obey the arrangements of Virtual Universe Company and have no time to return to Kuka."

"That's right." Gary Buell nodded, "When you join a force as big as Virtual Universe Company, you naturally have to obey the arrangements. It's normal to be subject to some restrictions."

After hearing the conversation between Li Qi and Gary Buell, her mother Winnie felt uncomfortable, but she also understood Li Qi's difficulties and helplessness.

"I will arrange for family members to learn management knowledge." Holu said: "I will try to manage it normally after taking over the territory of ten galaxies in five hundred years."

"That's right." Li Qi suddenly remembered that after winning second place in the Peak Genius Competition, he received a huge cash reward.

"I set up a bank account and transfer funds into it regularly every year."

A screen of light appeared in front of him, "In addition to the net tax dividends from the territory as expenses, the funds in this account will be used as the family's training fund, with the goal of promoting all family members to star level."

"Promote all members to star level?" The elders were surprised by Li Qi's words.

According to their understanding, the star level of an ordinary life planet is Tubawang, and even the former Kuka planet did not have many star levels.

But now, Li Qi wants to upgrade all family members to star level. It should be noted that more than 80 years later, the Royce family has more than 200 family members. This is still the situation where many family members are not married. Down.

In tens or hundreds of years, it is not impossible for this number to double. By then, training all members to star level will require a terrifying amount of resources!

"Eleven, this plan is a bit unrealistic." Holu disagreed with Li Qi's approach. "Resources should be used on talented members to cultivate more strong people."

"Dad, I mean all the members of the current four generations!" Li Qi explained: "Our four generations are the foundation of the family."

"In addition, we also need to strengthen the control of family members." He continued: "Now the family has ten star systems as its territory, and I am in the core layer of the virtual universe company. There will inevitably be people with ulterior motives approaching and using family members."

"So..."

Before he finished speaking, Sixth Dad Gabriel said: "I suggest that the family implement a streamlined policy in the future. Family members should be refined, not numerous."

Hearing this, the other elders looked at Gabriel with unfriendly eyes, especially those female elders who married in.

"This..." Huolu was a little undecided, turned to Li Qi and asked: "What is Eleven's opinion?"

"Eleven can't worry about these trivial matters." Gabriel said directly: "Notify father, third brother and seventh brother to hold a meeting and decide. It's best to call other children as well."

Hearing this, the eyes of those married female elders became even more unfriendly. This is to exclude them from the family's decision-making level.

Li Qi glanced at his sixth father, Gabriel, and then said, "That's it."

"In the future, any major decisions can be made in meetings." After saying that, he stood up and walked into the house.

"Sixth!" Holu sighed, "You're a bit too much."

"I'll go see Eleven." Gabriel stood up and chased Li Qi.

After he left, the garden suddenly started to discuss, and the topic was about what he had proposed before.

...

Li Qi leaned against the wall, and when Gabriel caught up, he sighed, "Sixth father, this is different from what we discussed before."

"Eleven! It's best for me to do this." Gabriel said lightly, "You are the pillar of the family, and you have to practice in the Virtual Universe Company. I can't let you worry about these trivial matters."

"Your eldest father is too soft! There must be someone in the family who can intimidate others, and I am the best candidate!"

"Don't worry." Gabriel's voice was extremely solemn, "I will try my best to prevent the family from becoming a burden to you!"
