Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

Bai Yue took a deep breath and asked another question.

"Xiaoyi, how many exchange points are needed to buy the smallpox vaccine?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao 1 immediately changed his voice to a machine-like calculation voice without any emotion.

"One vaccine only costs 10 points of public opinion. The population of Wenqu Capital is 300,000. If we were to vaccinate everyone, that would cost... a whopping 3 million points of public opinion!"

At this point, Xiao 1's tone suddenly became joking.

"But, if we wait until the epidemic is raging, 100 doses of special medicine will only cost 1 point of public opinion. So, you only need 2000 public opinion points to save the entire city. Compared to the huge number of 300 million, isn't this much easier to achieve?"

"Xiaoyi, how much public opinion have I accumulated now?"

Bai Yue seemed not to hear what Xiao 1 said, and just asked seriously.

"Hmm, let me see. It's currently at 1550 points. Hmm, it seems you've been doing a lot of good deeds to collect public opinion points during your time on the ship!"

Xiao 1 responded in a relaxed tone.

"Great! All of these public opinion points will be exchanged for smallpox vaccine! And, from now on, every time you accumulate 10 public opinion points, they will be automatically exchanged for vaccine. No further questions asked!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yue announced solemnly.

"No way, player! That's an astronomical sum of 300 million points. Even if you vaccinate them, they won't be grateful to you. Besides, they might think it's a blessing from the Bai Ling Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony. You won't get any benefit at all!"

Xiao 1 showed a shocked expression in front of Bai Yue, and then tried to dissuade him anxiously.

"Since I've chosen to help them, I don't mind whether they thank me or not. Even if there's no profit to be made, what can I do?"

She shook her head gently, as if mocking the shallowness of all the utilitarian talk in the world. In her eyes, Xiao 1's words were just a wisp of wind, not worth mentioning.

“There are some things that are right that cannot be easily measured by the word ‘profit’. Even if the road ahead is filled with thorns and difficulties, my heart remains as firm as a rock and I will gladly face it.”

After saying that, Bai Yue's lips curled up in a gentle yet firm arc, and at this moment, the rumbling sound of her stomach abruptly interrupted her conversation with Xiao 1.

"Your Highness, we didn't mean to interrupt your thoughts. Please don't be angry!"

When the two little girls saw Bai Yue's gaze coming towards them, they were so scared that their knees went weak and they fell to the ground with fear on their faces.

Seeing this, Bai Yue felt both amused and pity in her heart. She hurried forward, gently helped them up, and spoke softly.

"You two kids must be hungry, right? Your little bellies are protesting, and you can't suppress them easily."

After saying that, she took out two steaming and fragrant meat patties from her wide sleeves as if by magic. The tempting color and aroma instantly made the two little girls swallow their saliva.

Bai Yue looked at them, a smile on her lips, and cunningly put forward conditions.

"Do you want to eat this delicacy? Then you have to agree to a small request of mine. From now on, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to kneel down to me. There are no so many rules between us."

"But my sisters always say that the master is the sky, and not kneeling is disrespectful and will be punished!"

Xiao Cui's voice was as thin as a mosquito, and her eyes flashed with fear and confusion.

"I have no intention of interfering with others, but here, your knees belong only to you. You don't need to bend them for me. If you insist on doing so, then this delicious meat pie will probably end up in my stomach!

As she spoke, she deliberately shook the meat pie in her hand gently in front of the two children.

Xiaohong and Xiaocui looked at each other, then nodded solemnly to Baiyue, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

Seeing this, Bai Yue's smile widened. She happily handed the meat patties to the two little girls and watched them taste them with satisfaction, her eyes full of doting.

And behind all this warmth and harmony, some special voices are having a unique dialogue in the void.

"Oh, what a stupid human!"

A voice with a hint of teasing echoed in the void.

"Yes, it's really stupid!"

Another voice echoed.

"She could have easily reaped the rewards, but she chose to take that thorny path without asking for anything in return... She's truly the dumbest player I've ever met!"

The last voice concluded with a hint of emotion.

“But he is also the most interesting player!”

"Yeah, I've seen so many smart people, so now I find this particularly stupid one quite unique!"

The two voices in front answered together as if they had agreed on something.

"Huh? From what you said, you want to give her a helping hand?"

The last voice asked doubtfully.

"...If she can carry through with her 'stupidity' to the end, we might consider it!"

The first voice answered solemnly.

"Yes, isn't there a very interesting word in the human world called 'hope'? Perhaps her 'stupidity' is the ray of hope that we cannot understand, yet are curious about?"

The second voice responded as if in deep thought.

"Hope? That's such a complex and abstract concept. But since you've made your choice, I won't stop you. Just follow your wishes and see whether she's truly stupid or truly hypocritical!"

Although the last voice still had a cold tone, there was a subtle hint of tenderness and expectation hidden in it.

When Xiaohong and Xiaocui licked the meat pie crumbs at the corners of their mouths with satisfaction, Baiyue smiled and handed them two bowls of sour plum soup.

As the gulping sounds ended, Bai Yue spoke to them.

"Okay, now that we've had enough to eat and drink, let's go for a short walk to digest it!"

"Yes!"

Although the two little girls had only a vague understanding of the word "digestion", Bai Yue's words were like supreme orders to them. So, like two newborn chicks, they followed Bai Yue closely and walked out of the yard.

“This place is so peaceful and quiet, it’s so relaxing!”

Bai Yue carefully observed her surroundings as she walked, secretly wondering which wall could be her shortcut to quietly leave the house.

At this time, Xiaohong finally couldn't suppress her curiosity and anxiety, and she asked cautiously.

"Princess, this is the most remote part of the palace. I heard the sisters privately say that only those whom the prince dislikes are placed here..."

"Well, they are right. The prince really doesn't like me. No, to be more precise, he really, really hates me!"

Bai Yue nodded to indicate her agreement with Xiao Hong.
