Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Xiao Ce then addressed the directors, saying, "Gentlemen, what are you doing? Are you standing at attention like me?"

They clearly didn't understand Xiao Ce's joke.

They looked at each other, bewildered.

Xiao Ce stopped joking with them and asked directly, "Alright, no more joking? You need me for something, right?"

Hearing Xiao Ce's straightforwardness, the director nodded: "That's right... Mr. Xiao Ce, we did come here because we have something we'd like to ask you..."

Xiao Ce saw the director's expression, nodded, and then gestured for him to speak.

After seeing Xiao Ce's words, the director nodded respectfully and then said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, I would like to ask you what kind of allocation you have for us?"

After hearing the director's words, Xiao Ce looked at the expectant expressions on the faces of the people around him.

He then asked the crowd, "Gentlemen, what are your own thoughts?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the people on this side looked at each other, seemingly a little nervous.

Seeing their reaction, Xiao Ce said to everyone, "Alright, aren't you embarrassed? You've already come looking for us, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

The director said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, let me be frank. Some of us have seen everything here, and they all like it and want to stay. But we came here with you, and since you brought us here, we have to listen to you."

"Of course, there's another part: I just want to follow you, wherever you go. Because I feel we can leave with you... because we know you're not an ordinary person, and following you might allow us to see many sights we've never seen before..."

"Of course, whether to stay or leave, it will be up to you..."

No wonder this director is in charge; he speaks very logically and clearly.

Xiao Ce said to the director, "I really haven't considered it. Actually, I didn't have any particular intention in bringing you all here; it was just something I did on a whim..."

"Furthermore, don't think that just because I brought you out, I want to control you... I'm not that kind of person. You are all independent individuals, and you are free to come and go..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, they were taken aback, as they had not expected him to say such a thing.

What followed was deep emotion, a profound sense of being moved...

Xiao Ce smiled at the director and then said, "Of course, as you all know, you are different... your bodies are actually different from ordinary people, so this is both an advantage and a disadvantage... you will inevitably be seen as outsiders, so... it won't be easy for you to truly live an ordinary life..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the director nodded: "That's the same thought of mine, and it might even bring danger."

Xiao Ce looked at the director and said, "Who among you wants to stay, and who wants to come with me..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, everyone was a little unsure and looked at each other in confusion.

They looked at each other.

The director said, "What are you afraid of? Mr. Xiao Ce wants to help us. No matter what choice you make, Mr. Xiao Ce will firmly come to our aid..."

After hearing the director's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded in agreement to the other technicians.

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the technicians finally mustered their courage...

He nodded and then came out.

Eight people from their group walked out.

“Mr. Xiao Ce, we want to stay. Although we want to leave Lost Island, we still prefer stability... We don't really like wandering…”

"Before, we didn't know where to go, and we knew that returning to Xiao Kingdom wouldn't be easy... But when we arrived here, we found that this place is very similar to Xiao Kingdom, and most importantly, it's full of people from Xiao Kingdom. Moreover, they shouldn't be far from Mr. Xiao Ce..."

"So, we're planning to stay here. Of course, Mr. Xiao Ce, if you need our help, we'll be there immediately, without hesitation..."

Xiao Ce listened to their conversation, smiled, and then said, "No problem, how about this? You two stay here and follow my brother Xiao Yang. He's the top leader here and has a lot of influence. Besides, you're technical staff, so you'll be conducting research on some related projects here..."

"With their protection, you won't be treated as outsiders. How about that? You'll also have a way to make a living."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, they all nodded, their faces filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao Ce... We are willing..."

Seeing this, Xiao Ce said to them, "Alright, then you can stay here from now on. I don't think those people at the base will come looking for you, after all, you're nothing to them... So, don't worry. Even if they do come looking for you, do you want to go back?"

Xiao Ce asked them, and after hearing his words, they shook their heads vigorously, then said, "We don't want to... we definitely don't want to go back..."

Xiao Ce nodded, then said to the group, "Alright, since you don't want to go back, if any of them come looking for you, just bring me up and say that I arranged for you to work here. They should give me some face because I closed Lost Island."

These people nodded with emotion after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

As he spoke, Xiao Ce looked at the three people in the director's group.

Xiao Ce said to the director, "Director, are the three of you going to follow me?"

The director looked at Xiao Ce with a hint of expectation, and then said, "Not bad, Mr. Xiao Ce, what do you think? It's just that we may not have much of an advantage, but we can learn from them."

Xiao Ce looked at the three of them and nodded: "Alright, if you want to come with me, that's fine... but have you thought it through? Following me could be life-threatening..."

The director, his eyes gleaming with fanaticism, said, "I'm truly not afraid of mortal danger... I've realized that living longer in the past is pointless..."

After hearing the director's words, the two people beside him nodded: "That's right. Looking back, although we've lived for many years, every day is the same..."

After hearing the director's words, Da Lei subconsciously said, "Director, weren't you all very afraid of dying before?"

After hearing Da Lei's words, the director gave an awkward smile and then said, "Times have changed... Back then, on Lost Island, we had no choice. Our only choice was to cherish this immortal body... But now, we have a choice... Since we have the choice to live well, there's no need to be afraid of death..."

After listening to the director's words, Xiao Ce nodded: "Okay, I can take you with me... but I only have one request for you to follow me."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the director looked at him earnestly and said, "Mr. Xiao Ce, what do you mean..."

Xiao Ce said to the director, "Loyalty."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the director nodded without hesitation: "Mr. Xiao Ce, no problem...we can definitely do it."

Then, perhaps feeling that words were too weak, the director said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, just look at my performance... In fact, no matter how much you talk, it's better to do things..."

After hearing what the director said, Xiao Ce nodded: "Okay, then you can come with me."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, the group was filled with excitement.

Then he said to the director, "By the way, none of you have names yet, right?"

They all nodded in agreement.

Xiao Ce said, "It's not good to be without names here... You should all come up with some names."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, everyone nodded, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Then he looked at the director.

The director then looked at Xiao Ce and said, "Mr. Xiao Ce, could you please give us a name? Our memories of the past are quite hazy, especially our names..."

After seeing their smiles and hearing their words, Xiao Ce fell into deep thought. He then said to the director and the others, "Let me think about it..."

They nodded.

Xiao Ce suddenly had an idea: "How about this? Since you've all forgotten your previous surnames... I'll give you a surname. From now on, when I mention this surname, I'll know your origins... As for your given names, I'm not your parents, so it's not appropriate for me to name you..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, everyone nodded without saying anything more.

Just then, Xiao Ce said to them, "Since you all came from Lost Island, you shall all be surnamed Lost."

The director was the first to nod: "Okay, the surname Mi is good. Then Mr. Xiao Ce, I'll call you Director Mi."

Upon hearing the director's name, Xiao Ce twitched: "Is that a name?"

Xiao Ce said the first half of his sentence, but thought to himself the second half, "Aren't you taking advantage of me...?"

The director said, "Everyone just calls me Director, it's to make it easier for them to remember me..."

Xiao Ce nodded after hearing what the director said.

Following closely behind were the two people beside Director Mi, who were going to walk with Xiao Ce.

“Mr. Xiao Ce, my name is Mi Long.”

"Then I'll call myself Lost Tiger."

"Dragon and Tiger? That's right. Were you two brothers before?" Xiao Ce asked the two of them.

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the two waved their hands and said to him, "Mr. Xiao Ce, we are not brothers, we just get along well."

Xiao Ce nodded, and then the others began to name their children.

"My name is Mi Jin, my name is Mi Yin, my name is Mi Cai, my name is Mi Fu, my name is Mi An, my name is Mi Shou, my name is Mi Bao, my name is Mi Cong!"

These people, true to their Xiao Kingdom origin, couldn't escape the so-called auspicious wishes in their names...

Just then, Xiao Yang arrived.

He peeked in cautiously, seemingly wanting to come in, but also appearing somewhat worried.

Upon witnessing this, Xiao Ce directly addressed Xiao Yang, saying, "Come on in, Xiao Yang... come in if you want..."

Xiao Yang entered after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

Before he could speak, Xiao Ce asked Xiao Yang, "Is everything ready?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang nodded and said, "That's right, brother, we can set off anytime!"

Xiao Ce nodded: "Alright, before you leave, there's one more thing I need you to do..."

Xiao Yang nodded respectfully to Xiao Ce: "Brother, what do you say..."

Xiao Ce looked at those who wanted to stay.

Then he said to Xiao Yang, "Xiao Yang, go and settle these eight people in. They're all in your hands. Aren't you going to get involved in the automotive industry? These people were technical personnel before, so give them some training and you can make good use of them."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang nodded repeatedly: "Okay, Brother."

Xiao Ce nodded and said, "There's one more thing... These people are not simple. You need to be careful. They don't need to eat or drink, and they don't seem to get tired..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang turned to look at the people who had come from Lost Island.

His face was full of surprise, his eyes widened, and then he said to Xiao Ce, "Isn't this an immortal?"

Xiao Ce said with a smile, "He's not an immortal either."

Xiao Yang continued, "Is it a robot? The kind of powerful robot you're talking about?"

Before Xiao Ce could answer, Xiao Yang excitedly chimed in, "Big brother, you've given me so many precious things... I have no way to repay you..."

Seeing Xiao Yang's excited expression, Xiao Ce smiled helplessly, then waved his hand and said, "They're not robots. I don't really understand them either. But they're more capable than ordinary people. Just settle them in properly... They have almost no combat ability, but you can imagine how tireless they are, so I believe they can learn very quickly by doing research..."

"Of course, one day when I figure out exactly what these people are, they might have another purpose, so just settle them down..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang nodded solemnly: "Okay, big brother, I understand."

Xiao Ce added, "You still need to be careful about their special circumstances... You must do your best to protect their special status and prevent others from seeing it..."
