Chapter 61: Second Clone, Forever the God!

"You..." Doctor Yuan had completely lost his composure. "Billions of lives in the Star Glory Empire, how is that none of your business!"

Li Yu was instantly amused. He stopped rummaging around, pulled up a stool, and sat right in front of this Imperial Noble.

"I say... Your Royal Highness..." His expression was odd. The title sounded far more like teasing than genuine respect.

"Aren't you taking yourself, and the Imperial Nobles, a bit too seriously?"

Doctor Yuan's expression turned ugly. Even though he had been stripped of his Imperial Gene—which was essentially equivalent to being expelled from the nobility—he still had his pride. Li Yu's words had struck a major nerve.

"How many years have the Imperial Nobles ruled the Star Glory Empire?" Li Yu asked, but he did not give Doctor Yuan a chance to answer. "No need to recite that long string of numbers."

"Would such a colossal entity suffer massive damage just because of you, a guy who had his Imperial Gene removed?"

"That is underestimating the Imperial Nobles far too much."

Doctor Yuan fell silent. He pursed his lips, trying to say something to refute the claim, but could not find a single argument.

"Furthermore," Li Yu continued, "the Universe will keep spinning no matter who is missing."

"Believe it or not, if the Imperial Nobles collectively dropped dead today, tomorrow some Celestial Nobles would swoop in with an organized ruling class to fill the void."

Doctor Yuan grew even quieter. He opened his mouth but appeared increasingly dejected. He had no way to refute this theory either.

"We could pull out two squads of talented people capable of ruling an empire right here from Heavenly Desolation Star... Seriously, do not think too highly of yourself," Li Yu said earnestly.

This sort of thing had happened countless times in the history of his previous life. Every rebel leader gathered a group of people from the surrounding towns and villages, ultimately ruling over vast territories.

And they still managed everything in perfect order.

Patting him on the shoulder, Li Yu added, "Just do a good job being a Pretty Boy. You have no idea how many people envy you."

"Even so... I am unwilling..." Blazing flames reignited in Doctor Yuan's eyes.

"No one asked for your opinion." Li Yu shook his head, instantly extinguishing those flames.

Mo Duo looked at Li Yu with a peculiar gaze. She strongly agreed with his uselessness of imperial nobles theory just now.

Hunter analyzed the situation from a more realistic perspective. Li Yu was absolutely right, but... it was of no use.

The ones who could command the Star Glory Empire with a single word were still the Imperial Nobles.

"How are you going to find that lady?" Mo Duo asked.

Doctor Yuan closed his eyes, wrapped up tightly.

"This guy is obviously unwilling to disclose it."

Li Yu glanced at Doctor Yuan, who looked as if he were ready to die a martyr's death. The doctor definitely knew his little lover's contact information, but he clearly refused to give it up.

"That depends on whether my baby can come through for me," Li Yu muttered in a low voice that no one could understand.

The local star began to shine on Heavenly Desolation Star exactly at six o'clock, and a critical problem soon followed—the patients had also arrived.

These loyal Believers of Doctor Yuan could not be deterred from their pilgrimage, even with Dark Star Flying Vehicles hovering outside.

Who would act as the doctor became crucial. Li Yu did not want Dark Star to increase their surveillance over a minor issue like agitated patients.

"Are you going to strip or not? If you don't take it off, I am going to do it for you."

"You... you classless brute!"

"Sorry, here I come."

"Get away! I will do it myself!"

Ten minutes later, Rubber Gloves snapped onto Li Yu's hands. He placed a Mechanical Mask over his face. Dr. Li was online.

Doctor Yuan was not completely naked. He was covered in a layer of soft, Black Form-Fitting Armor Plates that perfectly outlined his physique.

"By the way, can the length also be adjusted using the Imperial Gene?" Li Yu asked with a hint of envy.

Doctor Yuan had no desire to speak. He remained silent and was shoved directly into the Mechanical Box by Li Yu.

Hum!

The Mechanical Door opened, and the first patient walked in.

"Doctor, why do I feel like you are a bit different today?" the plump older woman asked with some doubt.

"My throat hurts. I do not want to talk," Li Yu pointed at the Holographic Screen.

"Doctor, you really must take good care of your health." The woman was genuinely concerned, the wrinkles on her face bunching up.

'It really is tough on His Royal Highness,' Li Yu thought, suppressing the urge to throw a punch.

Having observed for an entire day yesterday, he had mostly learned to mimic Doctor Yuan's responses, presenting everything on the Holographic Screen.

As for external injuries... Li Yu could not handle them. He simply sterilized the wounds and bluffed his way through, though everyone was slightly puzzled.

However, Li Yu's height and build were very similar to Doctor Yuan's. Combined with his silence, no one noticed anything amiss for the time being.

During his breaks, he reverted to his true appearance and strolled outside, reassuring the people from Dark Star that everything was normal and nothing was wrong.

It was not until night fell and it was time to close the clinic that Li Yu let out a long sigh of relief. He did not even have time to check the newly refreshed System Log.

Growing Impatient, he yelled, "A bunch of Cursed idiots! They aren't sick at all; did they just come to let that damn guy touch them!?"

He was Cursing Loudly right there, venting all his pent-up frustration from the day. Several times, he could tell those people were purely taking advantage of the physical contact.

One guy even commented on how the doctor's fingers had somehow gotten thicker today, and Li Yu almost could not hold back his fists.

Hunter and Mo Duo could hardly contain their amusement but forced themselves to hold it in. Only after venting for a full ten minutes did Li Yu reluctantly check today's System Log.

[Day Five - Transformers World: Megatron was born, and you became his highly valued subordinate.

You knew the final outcome, so you decided to complete the unfinished mission and kill Tom.

Tom was heavily guarded. You disguised yourself as a soldier to get close to him but were exposed. Left with no choice, you had to kill his girlfriend instead.

Tom now hates you to the bone...]

'Damn! Clone One is on a killing spree,' Li Yu thought in surprise. He had not expected the Antagonize the Protagonist route to have such a massive impact.

Clone One was not necessarily working for the Decepticons; he simply held a grudge against Tom.

He received no rewards this time, but Li Yu could accept that. It wasn't possible to get good stuff every single day.

[Day Four - Dune World: The pursuers from House Atreides arrived, causing heavy casualties among the Fremen. You unleashed your incredible might, completely routing the pursuing forces.

You witnessed the true power of the Fremen—walking alongside the Sand Worm. The Aura on your body earned the favor of the Sand Worm.]

[Acquired Special Item: Spice. Do you wish to extract it?]

'Baby, my sweet baby! Second Clone, forever the God!'

Li Yu originally thought it might take several days to farm Spice again. He never expected the Sand Worm to actually favor the Second Clone.

It was likely the influence of the Savior (Pseudo) Talent.
