"Xiao Hao, did you learn about Relink brain-computer interfaces when you were in GTI?"
As Rometheus walked and explained things to Zhang Hao, he suddenly asked Zhang Hao a question that caught Zhang Hao off guard. Relink brain-computer interface—who doesn't know that? Sister Zoya even explained it to him, but he just hadn't understood it.
"Yes, I know it. It seems to be quite famous."
Rometheus: Uh... just quite famous? Looks like GTI didn't tell this kid about the interests involved. This Relink brain-computer interface is more than just famous! Wait for me to send the video of the press conference... Oh, there hasn't been a press conference yet. Never mind then.
"So what's your attitude towards Relink brain-computer interface? To be honest, the person standing in front of you who might seem a bit unreliable is actually one of the inventors of brain-computer interfaces!"
Seeing Rometheus suddenly strike a rather flamboyant pose in front of him, Zhang Hao suddenly felt that he and Roy might have a lot to talk about, after all... the two of them seemed to have some mental issues.
"Well, I think it's alright. After all, it can restore the sight of those who are blind, those who are deaf, and those who have nerve problems in their hands and feet. It's quite a great invention. It's just that you, Uncle..."
Zhang Hao: I've already given you face. I hope you won't go any further in the same direction as Roy. Thank you. The Secret Service already has enough of a character.
Ella: My soulmate! You are my soulmate! Finally, someone understands my pain. Seeing my family like this, do you know how tired my heart is?
"Oh, hehehe, it's not really that great, but since you're praising me like that, I'll take it as you're serious, hehehe."
Hearing Zhang Hao say that, Rometheus happily accepted the praise from Zhang Hao.
“【Zero】, was Rometheus like this in front of you before? No wonder you ran away. If Roy acted like this in front of me every day, I probably would have run away too.”
"Sigh, he's alright. I wonder what's gotten into him. Anyway, I don't know him. o(￣┰￣*)ゞ"
"Let's go check out the technology zone inside the Tower of Babel. I usually work there improving my Relink brain-computer interface. Once I'm done debugging, I'll install the latest and most powerful one on you and [Zero], allowing you to directly command the troops and heavy weapons in the Baksh region. What do you think? This is priceless outside!"
Rometheus looked at Zhang Hao with admiration. What a good kid! He speaks so nicely. If that damned Demulan wanted to take him away, he would really be reluctant. He would have to ask for more money.
Thinking that Zhang Hao would inevitably become Hafk's man and a good friend of his eldest son [Zero], Rometheus waved his hand and decided to install Relink brain-computer interfaces on the two little ones, enabling them to directly control the Baksh region. It wouldn't be too much to ask Demurland for some of that later!
Rometheus: Hehehe, if Xiao Hao stays here comfortably and doesn't leave with Demulan, wow, that would be so much fun! Seeing this every day after my experiments would be pure bliss! (*^▽^*)
Seeing Rometheus start chuckling inexplicably as he walked, Zhang Hao quietly moved a little further away from him. Zoya had told him before that being around idiots would make him idiot too, so Xiaowen and Luna stopped letting Roy and Weilong see him.
Wei Long: Damn it! I'm just a little bit of a chuunibyou (delusional person), how could you compare me to that idiot Roy? It hurts my feelings! /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
Roy: I've been betrayed three times. (;???Д??`)
Zhang Hao hadn't expected that the seemingly serious doctor in the game would actually be such a friendly person, immediately pulling him into the core area of the lab. If Zhang Hao were to take a few photos and show them to the higher-ups at GTI, they would probably start a meeting that very day.
"Xiao Hao, look, this is a Relink brain-computer interface specifically designed for children and minors. Compared to the other, standard Relink brain-computer interface, I've specifically reduced the size for children..."
As Rometheus pulled Zhang Hao along, watching Rometheus excitedly tell him about the Relink brain-computer interface that had been improved specifically for classification, and about his dream, Zhang Hao suddenly felt that Huff... might not be as bad as he had imagined?
But... looking at the excited Rometheus, Zhang Hao could only say: I really don't understand, stop talking! /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
After Rometheus had finished talking and his throat was dry, Zhang Hao quickly stopped Rometheus, who was about to finish his water and continue telling his story:
"Dr. Rometheus, let's visit another place. I'm a little tired too."
Rometheus glanced at the time and exclaimed, "Wow! I didn't expect I'd been talking for so long! And Xiao Hao is the first person who's ever listened to me for so long! I'll definitely have Zero learn from him in the future!"
"Are you tired? No rush, Xiao Hao. Anyway, the other two places aren't very interesting. One is the interrogation area, which is a bit bloody, so you're too young to look. As for the mechanical area, I haven't been there many times. I did go to see it when Zero made a mess of it after his escape. Come on, let me show you your bedroom!"
After saying that, he led Zhang Hao directly to the bedroom that had been prepared before Zhang Hao met with Black Hawk. As for why Rometheus was so sure he could get the man there, he only said:
"I've already sent such a large military unit to 'invite' them; surely most people wouldn't refuse such an offer?"
Red Wolf/Mai Xiaowen/Luo Yi: You're amazing! I'm going back to tell Zoya!
Chapter 214 What? You lost Xiao Hao?
"Say that again if you dare? Xiao Hao's been arrested?!"
After Red Wolf and his group returned to the Special Operations Department, they saw that Deep Blue and his group had also returned and were talking to Zoya. Deep Blue and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Red Wolf and his group return, but then they looked around and thought, "Huh? Something seems to be missing."
Upon learning that Zhang Hao had been "invited" to the Tower of Babel, Zoya and Luna were furious. They rushed to Red Wolf and Mai Xiaowen, grabbed them by the collar, and began to question them about how they had protected Xiao Hao.
Roy, who was relieved not to be picked up, quietly moved aside. It was a relief that he hadn't been bothered this time.
"Roy, where are you going? Come here and tell us all the details of what happened. If you miss anything... you'll have to deal with it yourself."
While the two were frantically explaining, the rest of the people looked at Roy, who had hidden to the side. Shenlan went over and pulled Roy back. After placing him in the middle of the group, Shenlan and the others ordered Roy to tell them everything honestly. As for the punishment, Shenlan would settle it with him later.
Roy: Waaaaah, Xiao Hao, I miss you so much! I really miss you! Now that you're gone, everyone's bullying me! ヽ(*。＞Д＜)o゜
After everyone heard the three people recount their experiences, Shen Lan felt sorry for Zhang Hao, this sensible child.
"Although this was indeed the best solution at the time, I am still angry about it. So you know what you should do. Now that our communication system is damaged, we need to work with someone called Wuming to restore our communication system and try to contact Xiaohao. What you are doing is your chance to redeem yourself."
After Shen Lan finished speaking, Mai Xiaowen and Red Wolf immediately jumped out:
"Report! I can remotely control the system to help restore communication information quickly."
“I am willing to infiltrate Hafk and work with Nameless to help with the recovery.”
Shen Lan looked at the two serious-faced men and nodded in satisfaction. Then, he casually turned his gaze to Roy, who was still scratching his head in frustration.
"And you, Roy, aren't you going to do anything?"
Roy was almost in tears. This brainless idiot, hurry up and think of what he can write! If he can't think of anything soon, he might as well be dead! Why is that all he knows?
"I... um... I'll give everyone a massage? It'll be really comfortable! It's good for your health, really, my master taught me that."
Mai Xiaowen/Zoya/Luna: No, how about my Xiaohao gives me a shoulder massage instead?
Seeing Shen Lan's face gradually darken, Roy anxiously pondered for a moment:
"I...I...don't rush, let me think about it. I can. If Red Wolf gets hurt, I'll bandage him!"
But what greeted him were the merciless words spoken by Deep Blue:
“Weilong, you got a demerit for Xiaohao falling down last time. Now you have a chance to redeem yourself. Mai Xiaowen, Honglang, you two need to get moving. If you don’t get any news about Xiaohao by the day after tomorrow, you’ll be in the same boat.”
Mai Xiaowen and Red Wolf couldn't help but shudder as they watched Roy being dragged back to the room by Weilong, screaming in pain.
Red Wolf: No, no, if that happens, I'd rather die in Hafk. If that happens, I'll be too ashamed to face anyone. And that guy, Wei Long... he's really playing dirty tricks. No, no, I must complete the mission successfully.
Mai Xiaowen: No, no, I doubt the sexual orientation of those two stinky women. It seems there are quite a few lesbians in Zoya's country. Ugh, disgusting. If I remember correctly, Luna joined GTI to find a woman. How awful that slut is trying to steal Xiao Hao from me! Vicious slut, and she's... I must protect my innocence.
Red Wolf/Mai Xiaowen: Please rest assured, Captain Deep Blue, I guarantee the mission will be completed.
Seeing the two's resolute expressions, Shen Lan nodded in satisfaction. If he remembered correctly, his superiors had reported to him that the leader of the Tower of Babel was the same Rometheus that Zoya used to know. Since Xiao Hao had escaped from there, he must hate it. It seemed he needed to speed things up. If all else failed, he could just call on that guy Said.
"Come on, let's discuss the plan. Zoya, you should also tell these two what happened on your end."
So Red Wolf and Mai Xiaowen sat down on the sofa with everyone and started discussing how to restore the communication system.
"You mean, this Nameless guy is planning to go directly to Hafk's information station and physically install one of our Special Operations Unit's signals inside? How can that be feasible? Anyone there who knows even a little bit would be able to spot it immediately, and then they'd steal all our information. Does Nameless even know that?"
After listening to Zoya's unnamed plan, Mai Xiaowen immediately jumped in and said that such a plan would not work.
"Wait here. I'll go back to my room and set up a small, normal signal station. Then, I'll have Nameless and Red Wolf try to destroy one of them and replace it with this one. This so-called information station is actually a virus. They definitely won't be able to detect it, and it will be more stable than the one we used before. But you absolutely cannot be discovered."
Zoya also contacted Wuming immediately and relayed Mai Xiaowen's plan. After waiting for a long time, she finally got an "OK".
Zoya: I want to kill you! What are you pretending for? Just like the old Rometheus, all pretentious. Pah! My Xiao Hao is much better.
“Okay, let’s do it this way. Zoya, give the nameless signal to Red Wolf and let those two discuss what to do. I also need to put pressure on the higher-ups. It would be unreasonable not to provide heavy weapons resources this time. Hafk has even extended his reach to us.”
"But Deep Blue, you didn't seem to have let Xiao Hao join GTI before, did you? Would those stingy guys up there be willing to give him a spot?"
At this moment, the well-behaved Uluru raised his hand to speak. It seemed that although Xiao Hao had indeed passed their test, the higher-ups at GTI were still unaware that there was now a white-haired ball of fur in Asara's Special Operations Department.
"Hmph, Wei Long has been beaten so badly he's lying in bed unable to move, and Mai Xiaowen has been directly threatened by Hafk's men. Can't that be used as a demand?"
“Deep Blue, you’re not lying…you’re absolutely right. I’m willing to lose a leg like Dragon, and you can ask for more.”
"Your country is no good, you can't get it at all. China can put more pressure on you. It won't do you any good if you die."
Uluru: Damn it! I'm going to block the bridge at the spaceport!!! (╬▔皿▔)╯
Chapter 215: The Gold for Me?
Longbow Valley, Amiya Town.
After being shot in the buttocks by Demulan, Reiss easily had the doctor remove the bullet. Seeing that the familiar spiral pattern was not on it, Reiss almost cried with excitement.
Reese: Damn it, De Moulin is still the most honest one. That little bastard before was really cunning. I was wondering why I didn't feel anything this time.
At this time, Reis had already received the construction teams sent by the United States and the large amount of HAF currency that had been promised to him on the phone. Everything that had happened here recently made Reis feel like he was in a dream.
"Is this the black card with 20 billion HAF coins? Hehehe, hahaha, I've never had so much money in my life!"
Reis lay on the sofa, toying with the black card containing 20 billion Haff coins. He was now the richest man in Asara, and Yusef was no match for him. It was time for him to start making waves in Asara.
"Someone, go see that safe? There are 100 million Haff coins inside. Give me 100,000 Haff coins to everyone who survived in Longbow Valley, 1 million to each of you individuals, and the rest is yours to gather men for me, understand?"
Reis casually pointed to the safe behind him. After his Diamond Queen Hotel was blown up by that hateful old woman Demulan, Reis realized that he was short-handed. Now, as a super-rich man with 2 billion Haff coins, Reis generously took out all 100 million Haff coins that Audrey had given him to recruit more people.
"Lord Reis, ...is this too much money?"
The bodyguard who had been following Reiss couldn't help but swallow hard as he looked at the safe filled with gold nuggets. How much money had his boss gotten from that mysterious partner? He actually took out 100 million Haff coins to recruit soldiers.
The guard said: "Brothers, this is the first time I've fought such a rich battle! We've chosen the right people to follow, brothers."
"More? You can figure out what to do with the extra. Give those soldiers some extra benefits and let all of Asara know that working for me, Reis, means more money! Oh, and by the way, take 500 million to Said and have him buy some equipment. He's a leader, after all. He still has to come to see me on a nearly broken bicycle. He's my ally, after all. Tell him to prepare his men. Once I finish the renovations here, I'll start looking for trouble with that bastard Hamk."
"Yes! I'll have someone come and move it right away."
"Damn it, you piece of trash! You can't even lift a penny, what can I expect you to do? Move aside, let me show you."
Reis looked at the bodyguard in front of him who couldn't even lift a super-sized safe, and stood up with a look of disgust, shoved him aside, and then, after activating his muscles, Reis prepared to show this bodyguard what strength really meant!
"You better watch out, you bastard! You never train, so I'll just... huh?"
After exerting force, Reis was stunned. Something was wrong. Had this safe... been moved?
The guard also said:
"Yes, I understand, Boss Reis. I will definitely train harder in the future. You can start performing now."
Reese: Damn it, did I use too much force? How come it doesn't feel like it moved at all? It's just a big box of gold, right? I really don't believe it.
"Holy shit!!!!!"
Seeing the guard's expectant look, Reis gritted his teeth and slightly moved the oversized safe.
Guard: Oh no, Boss Reis looks embarrassed! Should I say I didn't see anything? Can I go back now?
Reese: Damn it, that bitch Audrey got me stuck back then. What did she want with that whole box of gold? I had nothing better to do than put it all in a safe. I think I'm going crazy. Damn it, I must have talked too much with Said. No, no, I should go to the dam less often in the future.
"Ahem, well, I'm not feeling well today. Did you not see anything just now?"
Reis coughed awkwardly twice, then looked at his sweating bodyguard with a murderous expression.
"No... Lord Reis, I didn't see anything, really I swear, I've had an eye disease since I was a child."
Before he could finish speaking, the guard was interrupted by Reis:
"Alright, alright, stop arguing with me. Go get someone to bring you a bag. Damn it, I'm going to compose music, don't bother me!"
After saying that, Reis quickly walked to another room. Luckily, he only lost face in front of one person. It's okay, it'll be easier to deal with in the future, hehe.
The guard quickly summoned several of his trusted men, who brought sacks to collect the large pile of gold.
. . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . .
"What? This was sent to me by Reis?"
In the manager's office in the east wing, Said stared blankly at the large bag of gold in front of him, looking incredulously at the guard who had come to deliver it.
"Yes, Boss Reis asked me to pass on a message to you: as his general, what kind of nonsense is it to be so poor? Use this money to buy some equipment and such, and once his Longbow Valley is rebuilt, we will go together to attack Hamk."
Said stared blankly at the bag of gold worth 500 million, then turned to look at Sofia, who was also somewhat dumbfounded, and nodded to the guard to indicate that he understood.
"Oh, by the way, Lord Said, our boss Reis told you not to ride your old bicycle to Longbow Valley anymore. He said it's embarrassing for him to see it. If you really don't have the money, just call him and choose a new one!"
"Ah?! Then... then please thank Reese for me, I'll consider it."
Said: Huh? Where did this Reis make his fortune? Wasn't he going to get beaten up by De Moulin? I remember Xiao Hao telling me that their house was bombed? How come his money keeps increasing despite all the bombings?
Reis: Bro! Don't you know what protagonist's halo is? Huh? It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, your big brother won't forget to help you rise to prominence. When I become the emperor of Asara, you'll be my great general guarding the frontier!
"Do you think this guy Reis dug up Asara's old royal tomb?"
Upon opening the bag, Sayed was nearly blinded by the sheer amount of gold inside. He said he had never seen so much gold in his life.
"No, no, I need to tell Xiaohao the good news. I should call him!"
Saeed also excitedly took out his phone to call Zhang Hao, but it showed no signal.
