…
Lu Liran heard his own heartbeat, which was as fast as a drum and as loud as thunder on a summer night.
His heart was beating fast, and a tickling numbness spread from his heart to his fingertips, then climbed up his arms and into his neck, scratching his dry and itchy throat.
Lu Liran never noticed that Ke Ji had paid attention to him in private. He thought that those few times of support were due to efficiency and luck. Until Ke Ji said it, he didn’t know that there was no such thing as coincidence and luck, only careful and deliberate arrangements.
He stood there in a daze, but his eyes couldn’t help but look into the other person’s eyes. His mind was filled with Ke Ji’s words. Those words were like the deep sea under calm waves, gentle and irresistibly attractive.
He fell deeply into the depths, and his breathing seemed to be drowned by the deep sea.
But Lu Liran thought, he was willing.
He opened his mouth slightly. After Ke Ji said so much, he felt that he should say something, but his mind was in a mess. Like a revolving lantern, scenes of them getting along quickly flashed through, from the first time he saw the commander’s super mecha as the starting point, to the first time he saw the Omega with the same name on the mountainside of Arlok, to the final blockade, the steel-blue steel giant in front of him served as the final painting.
Information overload, brain freezes.
Ke Ji looked at Lu Liran quietly. He knew how unexpected he was this time. What happened just now was not even in his plan. The first confession he wanted was not on a deserted island like this, let along under the setting sun.
But the impulse got the better of him, and after he finished speaking, he felt that it wasn’t bad.
As he said before, he was always waiting for a suitable time, place, and even atmosphere, and wants to arrange every meaningful first time for them beautifully and perfectly, leaving the best memory.
It’s just that time and opportunity will not always favor him. Now he just wants to seize every moment, no matter whether it is appropriate or not, no matter what the result is, as long as it is them, it is the best memory.
Ke Ji smiled slightly and approached Lu Liran—— Lu Liran did not retreat any further, which was a good sign, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart——He whispered: “I know this takes time to digest. I don’t want to burden you, nor do I want to get an answer and response immediately.”
“In fact, I didn’t want to tell you so soon. I hope that what I said today will happen one day in the future. When you see me, what you see is not the Commander-in-Chief of the Federation, but just me. I want to say this at that time, so can I wait until then to listen to an answer?” Ke Ji looked down at Lu Liran, his gaze lingering lovingly, and his low voice contained a hint of softness and pleading.
Lu Liran nodded in agreement almost without any resistance.
Seeing this, Ke Ji had a little smile on his lips. He stretched out his hand tentatively and brushed the purple flower liquid on Lu Liran’s chin with his fingertips. He changed the subject and asked: “Then do you still want to sleep in a separate shed now?”
Lu Liran’s eyes suddenly opened wide, and his ears suddenly turned red. He shrank back as if he had been burned, and stopped looking at Ke Ji’s smiling steel-blue eyes.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
He licked his lips, glanced across the skyline, then he coughed dryly and said: “It’s dark now. It’s too late to build another sloping shed, so…let’s do this for now.”

He thought dazedly, and was even confused for a moment not knowing what he should do next.
The Marine Police in the forest had almost withdrawn at the right moment. The Deputy Captain let the team and ran out of the forest with a beaming face. When he saw Lu Liran and Ke Ji staying on the beach not far away, he immediately called out loudly: “Mr. Lu! We found it!”
Lu Liran didn’t react. Found it? What did they find?
The Deputy Captain came over quickly, he raised his eyes and said with a smile: “Sure enough, it’s hidden in the rock-piercing banyan tree that Mr. Lu said. We have seized all the illegal poaching items of the poaching gang.”
Lu Liran said “Oh”, it turned out to be this.
He was not interested. Rather than this, he wanted to rethink what Ke Ji just said.
Lu Liran regretted it from the bottom of his heart. He should have released the drone, so that at least he could leave a video commemoration for himself.
Just relying on his eyes and brain, Lu Liran was afraid that he would forget the details and pictures in the future.
Moments like this are worth cherishing forever.
“As long as the host wants it, the system can grant the host’s wish!” The system persuaded in Lu Liran’s mind, “You only need ten whole nightmare grasses to exchange video records. Remember to keep the roots and flower buds intact.”
Lu Liran was obviously surprised.
“Is it a complete video record?” Lu Liran’s eyes flickered, asking the system in his mind
“Yes.” The system responded readily.
Lu Liran immediately decided to pull weeds.
“By the way, Mr. Lu, please leave your contact information and account information. After completing the procedures and value appraisal, we will call you along with your reward!” The Deputy Captain called out to Lu Liran, who suddenly turned around and was about to leave, and said quickly.
He was a little confused. Shouldn’t ordinary people be curious about what was seized and how much it was worth? Why does the person in front of me look completely uninterested and still wants to leave?
Lu Liran came back to his senses after hearing this: “Oh, good.”
He was so focused on the video records that he would redeem later that he had no energy left for the Deputy Captain.
Besides, the reward for the seizure was only one percent of the total value. How much money could there be?
After the Deputy Captain got Lu Liran’s account information, he didn’t wait any longer. He turned around and walked to the ship with several of his men.
“Deputy Captain, this is a big case! How much does it cost for so many things?”
“Stop talking, it’s 50 million.” The Deputy Captain seemed to be in a very good mood. The higher the amount of cases seized, the greater their bonuses. Besides, apart from a little trouble this time, not even the most worrying gunfight occurred. It was simply like picking up a large bonus for free.
When Lu Liran heard this, his steps suddenly stopped.
Fifty million?
One percent would be a half a million.
Not bad for just leading the way.
The team members at the back were still chattering away——
“I go, how long have those people been doing this?!”
“At least three or four years. Didn’t you see that after we moved the tree out, the entire trunk was almost hollowed out and stuffed? I saw that the two dried turtle shells and seahorses were infested with worms. It must have taken a long time.”
“It’s a huge profit in the first place, and there are so many rich people speculating on the market price, so 50 million is still too little.”
“That’s disgusting.”
Lu Liran lowered his eyes. He stopped listening to what was said next and turned around to walk back to where he had pulled out the nightmare grass.
Even if he had ten people, he wouldn’t be able to prevent poaching. He had already done everything he could, and he didn’t want to let the bad things he could do nothing to disturb his current good mood.
Ke Ji didn’t understand why Lu Liran ran away without saying a word, but seeing the obvious relief on Lu Liran’s face, he felt relieved and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Ten whole nightmare grasses were exchanged for the system, which gave him the complete video records.
Lu Liran twitched the corner of his mouth, looking at the extremely impressive progress bar, and finally understood why the system handed over the complete video so generously this time.
This includes all the recorded videos he has bound to the system, and it would be a huge workload to cut out a certain section of them.
Lu Liran found a small pond, then sat quietly on the rocks to catch the sea breeze, and a small movie began to play in his head.
From the time he just first met Ke Ji…
“Why are you just sitting here?” Ke Ji’s voice suddenly broke in.
It took Lu Liran a second to realize that this was a voice from reality. He quickly cleared the small movie in his mind and looked at Ke Ji: “…I’m just sitting here.”
“You won’t boil the salt anymore. Are you avoiding me?” Ke Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Lu Liran.
After he finished speaking, he sighed softly.
Lu Liran was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. When he heard Ke Ji’s sigh, he felt his heart clenching. Hearing this, he immediately said: “Of course not!”
Ke Ji raised his eyes and looked at him quietly.
“I was…” Lu Liran pursed his lips. He didn’t want to tell Ke Ji about the existence of the system. After all, he didn’t want to expose such an unusually high artificial intelligence before he fully explored what it was and what its purpose was, lest Ke Ji get involved in trouble.
“As long as you’re not hiding from me.” Ke Ji interrupted Lu Liran’s hesitation. He didn’t come here just to ask questions. After confirming that Lu Liran did not distance himself because of what he just said, he breathed a sigh of relief, then he smiled slightly and said, “Come and help me see if the boiled salt can be used.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Liran immediately stood up and nodded in agreement.
When the two returned to the beach camp, Lu Liran saw what Ke Ji had cooked. It must be salt. There were some small black dirty spots in it. If he looked more closely, he could see blue crystals precipitating out.
Obviously it’s no longer useful.
Lu Liran twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn’t help but glance at Ke Ji, and saw the man glancing at him with an innocent face: “Well? Did it work? Cooked the salt the way you did. It just doesn’t look like it’s the same.”
Lu Liran：“……”
More than different.
Sunnyshies: Speaking of the system, what I like about the author is the author never wrote an MC that hides secrets. Even in the author’s other works, they won’t speak but never hides anything, and in the end will tell their close relative and lover about their own secrets in the end. It makes me suffocated if the mc never told anyone about his secrets, its like hiding a piece of himself. Anyway, that’s it…recommend everyone to look at the author’s other works.
Yeah. Like except if there’s a rule that they can’t or something why don’t you talk about your system, your rebirth or your transmigration ?! Like they are married with three kids but the other still don’t know ?! That’s a huge deception thank you for translating !
Bruh I’m so surprised LuLiran realised the confession was for him, he’s so dense I half expected him to be like ‘oh damn, that omega the commander is talking about must be so lucky I’m jelly’
So glad the confession was made and understood by our slightly thick EQ mc! Hahahaha! Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣❤️
