Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

Page 16

During this time, Wei Long and Said also had a very pleasant conversation. The two first talked about Zhang Hao. Wei Long kept sharing Zhang Hao's daily life in GTI with Said, while Said asked him about his daily habits like an old father.

Then Said talked to Weilong about the theories of Chinese governance that Zhang Hao had presented to him in the office last time. Weilong was surprised after listening to them. He did not expect that Xiao Hao would know so much about Chinese military management methods at such a young age.

"Oh my, Xiao Hao is the hope of our Asara region. You know, ever since we started using the training methods he taught me, our soldiers have become much easier to manage. When we clashed with Hafk's group, they followed orders and their casualties are much better than before."

Said looked at Zhang Hao and proudly told Wei Long that since he started to implement simple military-style management on his soldiers, they had improved greatly in every aspect.

Zhang Hao, who was in front, was also a little embarrassed by the praise. He scratched his head modestly and said:

"Hehe, it's all thanks to Brother Weilong and the others for teaching me. Besides, I also hope that the Asara region can be liberated soon, and my lost memories haven't been discovered yet. Uncle Said, if you have any information about me in the Tower of Babel, remember to tell me!"

"Don't worry, I'm going to see Reis in a while. He's well-informed and should be able to get the information you need."

As Zhang Hao's precious darling, Zhang Hao would try his best to fulfill all of Zhang Hao's requests.

After dragging back two large crocodiles, the people who had been hosting them and the two women who had been watching from above were stunned. Weren't they supposed to be going fishing? These fish are probably a bit vicious.

"Someone, make us a big campfire. We'll roast some for dinner tonight. This other one, you can give it to the kitchen to handle. Give it to the wounded soldiers and children first, understand? The rest you can divide among yourselves. This is an extra meal today!"

Those who were hosting them quickly accepted the crocodile that Said handed over. This was a real treat! They didn't usually get to eat meat. Hunting would be a waste of bullets. They would only send people to hunt for extra food after they had captured a batch of Hafk's weapons.

I never expected Lord Said to bring back such a huge crocodile today. This is enough for everyone to have a good meal.

Watching those people happily carrying crocodiles to the kitchen, while another group began setting up a campfire outside, Said decided to take a few people to properly appreciate Dam Zero.

After waiting for Wei Long to go upstairs and change his clothes, Said also dried his clothes by the fire, and then led the group to the scenery above Dam Zero.

"Look, the railway above this dam is the most important route for transporting supplies to us. I strengthened the defenses in this area after listening to Xiao Hao's advice. Hey, Xiao Hao was right. Those damned Hafk wanted to attack here, but we managed to hold them off."

Looking at the railway in front of him, which wasn't even part of the game's broken-rail map, Zhang Hao felt a surge of curiosity. He jumped around on it, looking at the unbuilt structures, and turned to Said to ask:

"Uncle Sayed, what are you building?"

"I want to build a large warehouse here. After hearing what you said, I started thinking about building a warehouse to store supplies. You know, although we are poor now, things are slowly getting better. Once these warehouses are built, we will start stockpiling some supplies."

Sayid gestured to the open space in front of him, indicating the area to be divided, and continued:

"After you told me last time, I started to consider the situation after our dam broke ties with the Hafk Group. If this railway is really blown up, then this large warehouse will be enough for everyone to hold out for two months. At that time, we will have a way out whether we attack or retreat."

After walking around for a while, the sun was about to set, and the group returned to the visitor center.

At that moment, a bonfire was set up next to the fountain, which was dry, with barbecue ingredients and two bottles of cola laid out beside it.

"To be honest, we're a bit poor, please don't mind. But don't worry, I'm pretty good at grilling fish, and this dinner will definitely satisfy you."

Said took a wooden stick, skewered the crocodile, and put it on the fire to roast. He also made some incisions on it. Soon, the aroma of meat wafted out.

Meanwhile, Wei Long shared his feelings about Said with the two, which lowered their guard against Said. In Wei Long's opinion, Said was a person he could get along with!

Said and Zhang Hao sat together by the fire. While Said was fiddling with the meat, he told Zhang Hao about his plan to team up with Reis to deal with Hamk.

"Xiao Hao, although you told me that you can't get too close to Reis, our common enemy this time is Hamk. What do you think of this operation?"

"No problem. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. It seems that neither of you two would be a match for Hamk if you fought one-on-one. The probability of you two joining forces is indeed higher. But as I said, Reis is a very slippery guy. Although you two are saying that you want resources and he wants land, if you really join forces to defeat Hamk, I think there is a high possibility that Reis will betray you. You should be careful about that."

After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he paused, thinking about the details of playing Ouroboros on the computer earlier. After telling Said about it, he solemnly instructed him in the end:

"If you can defeat Hamk, you must get that tank if it's not totaled. This tank is the culmination of Hamk Group's technology, and it uses the power of Mandel Bricks. Pull it back and let Uluru and Terry see if it can be repaired. If it's repaired, it will greatly increase your combat power."

After the two finished their conversation, it got completely dark. The group gathered around the campfire to enjoy the delicious "fish and meat." Wei Long and Said drank a few bottles of wine, while Zhang Hao was caught in a storm of being fed by the two women. And so, Zhang Hao's wonderful vacation began.

Roy: (╬▔皿▔)╯ Why am I stuck stuck in the infirmary picking my toes?! Why?!

Chapter 33 My sister had a nightmare

After finishing their dinner, the group prepared to go back to rest. Said arranged a time and place to meet Zhang Hao the next day and then left.

After returning to his room, Zhang Hao sent the photos he had taken of Wei Long and the photos of everyone eating grilled fish together to Luo Yi. Sure enough, Luo Yi called him 3 seconds later.

"Zhang Hao! You won't play with me, fine, but now you're actually trying to tempt me. You better pray you don't get sick in the future. If you do, hmph, I'll show you what the bitterest medicine in the world is."

"Oh? That's such a pity. I was planning to bring you some Asara specialties back with you and ask Deep Blue to let you come with me next time. I didn't expect you to be threatening me now. Tsk tsk tsk, you've taken my kindness for granted."

"Hey, hey, hey, what you just said was actually by Roy. I, the Bee Doctor, love our little Hao Hao the most. You wait, I'll go teach him a lesson later, hehehe. Remember, bring back a gift, and take me out to play next time!"

After a brief tug-of-war with Roy and hanging up the phone, Zhang Hao began preparing to take a shower.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, there was a knock on Zhang Hao's door.

As soon as Zhang Hao opened the door, he saw Mai Xiaowen walking in wearing pajamas and carrying a pillow.

"Xiao... Sister Xiaowen, what are you doing now?"

"Little Hao Hao, I'm a bit of a light sleeper, I can't fall asleep without holding you. Go take a nice shower, I'll be waiting for you in bed!"

Mai Xiaowen gave Zhang Hao a flirtatious wink, then skillfully climbed onto his bed, hiding under the covers except for her white pubic hair peeking out at him.

Seeing Mai Xiaowen already taking over his bed, Zhang Hao could only shake his head helplessly. There was nothing he could do; she was his good older sister, so he could only spoil her. Anyway, the bed was big enough for four people to sleep in. Was this guy treating him to a presidential suite? He'd like to try the King's Room at Longbow Valley next time he had the chance.

As the sound of water running in the bathroom began, Mai Xiaowen started her operation.

"Hehe, let me see where I put Hao Hao's underwear? Oh~~~, found it! (●ˇ?ˇ●)"

Mai Xiaowen tiptoed to the bathroom, reached out and touched Zhang Hao's clothes, then buried her nose in Zhang Hao's clothes like a pervert and gave him an epic lung-like experience.

"Ugh~~~, damn it, what's this smell? The internet says little boys smell sweet, right? Hmm~ no, upon closer inspection, it does smell a bit like Hao Hao's usual scent, but why does it smell so fishy today!"

The moment she smelled it, a strong fishy odor was inhaled into Mai Xiaowen's lungs, and she immediately began to gag. But upon reflection, Mai Xiaowen was horrified to discover that the smell seemed to have aphrodisiac properties.

So, not believing in bad luck, Mai Xiaowen once again unleashed an epic lung-bursting performance.

"Ugh~~~~~~ No, no, no! This isn't the boyish flavor I wanted, it smells like crocodile all over!"

After her second attempt, Mai Xiaowen resignedly put the clothes back where they were. She never expected that she, who should have been surrounded by the boyish scent, would be nauseated by the fishy smell of crocodile.

Actually, when Sayed was gutting the crocodile that afternoon, Zhang Hao also came over. So the enthusiastic Sayed started to teach Zhang Hao how to take out the crocodile's internal organs. If Mai Xiaowen had come and given Zhang Hao an epic lung-passing experience at that time, she probably would have been knocked unconscious on the spot.

Having failed to achieve her goal, Mai Xiaowen could only sheepishly lie back down in bed, staring longingly at the bathroom, thinking of that small figure.

After Mai Xiaowen waited anxiously for five minutes, the bathroom door opened, and Zhang Hao, with his fair complexion and delicate features, came out after drying his hair. He had just sat down on the edge of the bed when Mai Xiaowen, her eyes already red with anger, grabbed him.

"Mmm~, that's right, this is the taste, it's so blissful!"

Holding the soft, fragrant little Hao Hao in her arms, and inhaling the scent emanating from him, Mai Xiaowen was like a kitten who had just taken a catnip, constantly rubbing against Zhang Hao and making the purring sounds that only kittens make when they are comfortable.

Zhang Hao was held tightly in Mai Xiaowen's arms, helplessly watching his charm value approach 90. Previously, System 9527, looking at this useless host, sighed and gave him a big gift package. Upon opening it, he found that it gave him an additional 30 intimacy points with everyone he knew, which would further enhance his relationship with everyone.

Take the last time Luna barged into my room while Mai Xiaowen was away, for example. That combo completely stunned me, and just thinking about it makes my body feel weak.

Mai Xiaowen, on the other hand, has become even more possessive of him. Now she tries to stick to his side all the time. For Zhang Hao, who has been single for two lifetimes, happiness has come too suddenly, but trouble has followed.

"I never thought I'd see the kind of chaotic love triangle I only saw in novels in my past life happening to me. It's really agonizing. Both sides are my flesh and blood. Am I supposed to tell them to stop arguing and that they're all my wings...? Forget it, it's too early. I haven't even grown any feathers yet."

Zhang Hao, who was being passively pampered by Mai Xiaowen, sighed deeply. This feeling of being willing but powerless was too agonizing.

After playing around with Mai Xiaowen for a while, the two of them prepared to go to sleep, since they had arranged to meet with Said in his office the next morning to help him deal with some tricky issues.

Mai Xiaowen hugged Zhang Hao tightly, giving him a face wash while rubbing his head.

Goodnight, Hao Hao.

"Okay, goodnight, Xiaowen."

Just as the two were about to turn off the lights, a loud knocking on the door broke the silence.

Mai Xiaowen: I have a bad feeling about this.

"Xiao Hao, are you asleep? I'm coming in!"

Before the two could react, Luna pushed the door open and entered. She was carrying a pillow, just like Mai Xiaowen, and was saying:

"Oh, Xiao Hao, I just had a nightmare, it was so scary! Come here and give me a hug to comfort me."

But as soon as she finished speaking, Luna saw Mai Xiaowen lying next to Zhang Hao. In an instant, her gentle demeanor vanished, and Mai Xiaowen did the same. The atmosphere between the two instantly became tense.

"Oh my god!!! Our big sister Luna actually has nightmares and needs little Hao Hao to hug and comfort her? It's so pitiful that she can't find a companion at her age."

"Hmph, I was just waiting for the one destined for me, and now I've found him. Unlike you, all you do is talk and talk, you have no skills."

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Zhang Hao decided to stop holding back and shouted:

"Stop arguing! You are all my dearest people. Seeing you like this makes me very sad!"

After Zhang Hao finished speaking, the two stopped for a moment. Just as they were about to explain to Zhang Hao, he interrupted them.

“You are all my family here, and I don’t want to see you arguing like this every day because of me. I think we can all get along peacefully. Come on, Sister Luna, the bed here is big enough. Let the three of us make do tonight and there won’t be so much trouble, right?”

After hearing this, Luna quickly lay down next to Zhang Hao. She was already quite satisfied with the outcome; at least Xiao Hao still cared about her.

However, Mai Xiaowen on the other side was not so easy to talk to. She put her hand directly on Zhang Hao's waist, pinched a piece of flesh and started twisting it, which instantly made Zhang Hao gasp.

"Hmph! You little brat, you've got some wild ideas. Are you going to say we're all your wings next time? You're so young and already learning these bad habits. You must have been corrupted by Roy. I'll deal with him when we get back. You just wait here!"

Roy: I'm innocent! I'm a warrior of pure love!

So, after the lights were turned off, another battle began under the covers, and Zhang Hao could only endure it all with a bittersweet feeling.

Chapter 34 The Dam Strategist

The moon was already high in the sky, and in the stillness of the night, Zhang Hao was experiencing the most blissful and most painful thing in the world.

Luna had wrapped her entire body around Zhang Hao's right side, her head resting next to him, her breath hitting his face, and occasionally she would breathe into his ear, causing Zhang Hao to shiver from time to time.

On the left, Mai Xiaowen curled up, trying to get as close to Zhang Hao as possible. She put her head in Zhang Hao's arms, savoring the scent of little Hao Hao, and gradually became sleepy.

Zhang Hao lay between the two men, not daring to move. Although he usually started dreaming at this time, he was afraid he would have insomnia today.

"Hehe, Xiao Hao, just kidding. Goodnight."

Luna, who was beside Zhang Hao, seemed to have noticed his distress. She stopped teasing him, closed her eyes, and leaned against him quietly.

Seeing that the two of them had quieted down, Zhang Hao also adjusted his breathing and began to think of a way to force himself to shut down.

And so, the night passed peacefully. (Tonight is Christmas Eve.)

. . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . .

The next morning, Zhang Hao wearily opened his eyes. Although he hadn't been sleepless all night, he hadn't been able to calm his restless heart and fall asleep until midnight.

Mai Xiaowen opened her eyes, but to her surprise, the first thing she saw was not her beloved Xiao Hao, but that hateful old woman Jin Luna.

The two women are currently resting their heads on Zhang Hao's chest, facing each other.

Mai Xiaowen quickly turned her head away and saw Zhang Hao's bloodshot eyes. She asked with some heartache:

"Little Hao Hao, didn't you sleep well last night? Humph! It's all that old woman's fault. She never acted like this when I used to put you to sleep."

Luna, who had been pretending to be asleep, stopped pretending when she heard Mai Xiaowen slandering her. She opened her eyes, looked at Mai Xiaowen, and said:

"Hmph, you're really crying wolf. If I weren't here, I guarantee Xiao Hao would be pampered and sleeping comfortably in my arms. What are you looking at? Mine is bigger than yours, wanna compete?"

Zhang Hao sighed wearily. If he had taken one of them to sleep with him, things might not have turned out this way, because with two heads pressing on his chest, he really couldn't hold on!

"Alright, sisters, stop arguing. Let's go downstairs for breakfast. I still need to go see Uncle Said later."

Zhang Hao quickly stopped the two women from arguing. He was tired and just wanted to help Said finish those things as soon as possible so he could get back to GTI, find his own bed, and get a good night's sleep.

After a quick wash, Zhang Hao and his group went to the cafeteria on the first floor. Wei Long was already sitting down and eating breakfast. He waved to Zhang Hao and the others when he saw them come down.

After inviting everyone to sit down, Wei Long noticed the bloodshot in Zhang Hao's eyes. He then looked at Mai Xiaowen and Luna, who were still attacking with their eyes, and instantly understood what had happened to Zhang Hao the night before.

Weilong: Roy said I'm a clueless straight man, humph, I'm smart! I knew at a glance that Xiaohao was dragged out for tutoring last night and didn't choose Xiaowen, so Xiaowen got jealous and then... (*￣０￣)ノ

"Hey Xiaohao, don't put so much pressure on yourself. I guess the assessment that Shenlan mentioned is mainly to motivate you. There's no need to push yourself so hard. Just get a good rest tonight, and you can study when you get back."

Three people: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Zhang Hao was too lazy to say anything more at this point. After quickly finishing his breakfast, he wiped his mouth and said to them:

"I've finished eating. I'm going to find Uncle Said now. You guys can wander around here if you're bored. Someone will be following you anyway. I'll be back as soon as I go."

After saying that, he dragged his heavy steps outside.

After seeing Zhang Hao walk away, Wei Long was about to tell Mai Xiaowen not to push the child so hard, but he found that the two of them had already gone upstairs. So he had no choice but to give up and asked someone to take them to stroll around the dam.

When Zhang Haocai reached the main gate, he saw that Said was already waiting for him there.

"Good morning, Uncle Saeed!"

"Good morning! Hmm? Xiao Hao, did you not sleep well last night? Are you having trouble sleeping in a new bed? Should I get you one of those beds you usually sleep in?"
