The news of Officer Lyao bringing back the starstone pales in comparison to the attention drawn by his statement that "ten SSS-tier betas are not as valuable as one Yuri."
"Darn it. That sly fox Officer Lyao is once again spreading such notions on the interstellarnet," Daleks fumed, cursing out loud. "If he truly favored Yuri, would he let her comb through the Sea of Consciousness for fifteen hundred alphas every day?"
Ender looked at Daleks with surprise. "I didn't expect you to see through it all."
Daleks became even more irritated. "Do you think I'm a fool? Officer Lyao just wants everyone in the Alliance and across the stars to know how good he is to Yuri. Then he can ruthlessly exploit her. This way, if Yuri speaks ill of him in the future, no one will believe her. People would only blame Yuri, labeling her as an ungrateful wretch."
Ender gave Daleks a thumbs up. "You're the clear-headed one here."
