Esper X Family – Chapter 667 – Exploring the Candy Ship

The expeditionary fleet could truly be called a space marvel of the new era.

If advanced civilizations all had their representative monumental structures, then at this stage, Bluestar could already regard the expeditionary fleet stationed in the Solar System as its own iconic wonder.

And all of that was thanks to land conquered by Great Emperor Ye Ge and Great Emperor Xing Lan!

Every day, the public felt an overwhelming surge of emotion just looking at the satellite images.

If you asked what the current dream of Bluestar’s inhabitants was, most would probably say that it was to board one of these magnificent interstellar spaceships!

Who wouldn’t want to ride aboard an awe-inspiring super galactic battleship and follow the invincible Great Emperor Tong Yao on a grand, spectacular expedition?

Unfortunately, for now, the vast majority could only gaze from afar, unable to touch.

No matter how restless the gossip-hungry masses felt inside, they could only satisfy their cravings with the official satellite images.

This was a bitter pill for astronomy enthusiasts and military experts, who were practically itching to sell everything they owned to become the first to board the ships.

Yet, even the world’s richest individuals had no such opportunity.

The only ones to set foot on the ships first were Ye Yao and her closest circle!

No one was more qualified than her.

And now, Ye Yao was broadcasting a first-person livestream using her mobile device, the content being an exploration of the interior of the expeditionary spaceships.

“Ahem! This streamer has called in some favors to get the chance to livestream the expeditionary fleet on-site. Don’t overthink it, and don’t speculate. This has all gone through proper procedures!”

The moment she started the stream, Ye Yao put on an act to cover for herself, still refusing to acknowledge her true identity.

The people of Bluestar were already salivating over the mighty, awe-inspiring interstellar spaceships.

Ye Yao’s livestream undoubtedly ignited the enthusiasm and support of netizens worldwide.

If this wasn’t spoiling her fans, what was?

The barrage of comments exploded in celebration, and if you didn’t set up filters, you probably wouldn’t even see the stream’s content.

“I get it!”

“Streamer is like the blazing sun! I’m moved to tears!”

“If Lou Weiwei is the daughter of the sun, then our Streamer is the mother of the sun!”

“You’re flipping heaven and earth! How are you giving the Streamer an extra generation?”

“The Streamer sure has some solid connections, and a strong backing too. How is this even allowed on stream?”

“Those pretending not to know are playing along perfectly with the Streamer.”

The audience in the stream were all well aware that Ye Yao was essentially inspecting her own domain.

The negotiation results had been made public to the world.

It was said that the expeditionary fleet would remain in the Solar System for an extended period for human civilization to study, but it felt more like a gift to humanity, offered as an apology.

Strictly speaking, the entirety of human civilization could be considered the property of a certain mysterious streamer. By that logic, the expeditionary fleet was also the streamer’s personal property. It was perfectly reasonable!

Now that Ye Yao was livestreaming on-site, she truly wasn’t treating the audience like outsiders.

“Anyway, let’s start exploring. The spaceship beneath my feet is the famous ‘Candy Ship’, which I’m told is its newly assigned name.”

The moment she boarded the ship, Ye Yao kept her promise by renaming one vessel and gifting it to the Cubic Sugar.

The expeditionary fleet had quite a number of spaceships, so turning one of them into a mobile home wasn’t out of the question.

Moreover, the Cubic Sugar lacked any sense of ownership. She treated it as play, never actually piloting the ship, only running around everywhere like a lion patrolling its territory.

It probably wouldn’t be long before she got bored and latched back onto Ye Yao.

Ye Yao knew the Cubic Sugar all too well.

Of course, the name “Candy Ship” was serious, not just all talk. It had even been officially recorded by the Countermeasures Bureau and logged into the ship’s systems.

When Ye Yao said this, the viewers in the stream couldn’t hold it in anymore.

Naming a warship capable of destroying planets “Candy Ship”… was that something a human would do?

Anyone hearing it might think it was some kind of kiddie ride ¹ .

“Streamer, if Magical Girl Candy is threatening you, blink once.”

“How much did the Little Sugar Person fans pay you, Streamer? We, the Flower Leaf Cheer Squad, will double it!”

“Is there a ‘Flower Leaf’, ‘Wumi’, or ‘Lullaby’ ship?”

“How did the expeditionary fleet turn into a magical girl fleet? Why am I having such a strange dream?”

Ye Yao didn’t look at the barrage. Instead, she continued her exploration.

The one livestreaming now was just a fission body known to insiders as “Ye Tong”, while the real Ye Yao was touring the ships with her other friends.

They were the true “first tourists”.

“Next, let’s keep exploring. This Streamer is risking a ban just to broadcast this for you all. It wouldn’t be strange if the stream gets cut off at any moment!”

Ye Yao’s tone carried a cautious edge, as if she were truly livestreaming “at the risk of her life”.

“Streamer is joking.”

“Would you believe the Streamer gets banned, or that I’m Qin Shi Huang?”

“Enough talk, just send me 50!”

Then Ye Yao moved the camera, and soon a figure appeared in view.

That person was gazing out the window into space, with some mysterious small objects in front of them, which were painting tools like a sketchpad.

“Oh? I’ve suddenly spotted a mysterious person! Are they a crew member on the ship or a visitor from Bluestar? Let’s go interview them!”

Ye Yao approached Jiang Huashen, who was focused on his painting. She didn’t interrupt immediately but waited a few seconds.

Jiang Huashen snapped out of his concentration, looked at the adorable face before him, and naturally didn’t blame her for disturbing him.

“Boss, is there something you need?”

Toward Ye Yao, Jiang Huashen was undoubtedly full of respect.

Although she didn’t have much appreciation for art, she respected it!

Just bringing him to this quiet, novel painting venue was enough to make Jiang Huashen deeply grateful.

Not to mention the endless inspiration Ye Yao and those around her provided.

This debt of gratitude could never be fully repaid!

Even if he had to spend his life designing magical girl show scenes and concepts, he would accept it!

Following Ye Yao really led to a bright future!

Recalling those dark days when he followed Mu Luo, Jiang Huashen didn’t even dare to dwell on them, lest his mental state be affected and he slip into the wriggly abyss!

“Cut! Don’t call me boss right now. I’m livestreaming! Just treat me as some mysterious passerby streamer. I’m here to interview you!”

Ye Yao voiced her displeasure.

This exchange instantly amused the stream’s audience.

It also proved that they hadn’t rehearsed at all. They were just broadcasting whatever they saw, making for great entertainment.

The viewers recognized this person immediately.

“Isn’t this our veteran artist, God Jiang? He got to board the ship first, I’m so jealous!”

“Rumor has it that many famous magical girl designs, including Crimson Wheel and Void Heaven, were created by Jiang Huashen.”

“So we’re kindred spirits, God Jiang! You’re a true god! We adore you!”

Seeing Jiang Huashen quickly catch on, Ye Yao stood on tiptoes and held the microphone out to him.

“Excuse me, Mr. Jiang. What are you doing here?”
