To 9527's utter bewilderment, Zhang Hao immediately took out his phone and sent a text message to Weilong.
Zhang Hao: Brother Weilong, imagine you have three boxes in front of you, which one would you choose?
Wei Long: Hmm... If it were me, it would be the one on the far right.
After putting down his phone, Zhang Hao said with a confident expression:
"I choose the one on the far right. Brother Wei Long's fighting power will definitely give me a boost."
Chapter 376 Press.....Massage?
Zhang Hao's actions completely stunned 9527. What is this? Wouldn't it be better to ask Roy than to ask Wei Long?
"No, I'd like to interview you. Why did you have to ask Wei Long? Do you think he's just lucky?"
Zhang Hao, however, remained the same as before, saying confidently:
"Well, what else? Brother Weilong pulled out a dazzling bird egg today. Doesn't that prove that Brother Weilong has really good luck? So naturally we should trust Brother Weilong again this time."
Wei Long: Waaah, Xiao Hao, from now on, you're the most discerning person in the Special Operations Department! That's right, your big brother Wei Long is the luckiest person in the Special Operations Department! Tonight I'm going to play poker with Roy to prove myself.
Roy: Oh? I've always had the ace in my hand. Kid, don't even think about beating me at the poker table. At the Secret Service's poker table, even Deep Blue isn't a threat to me!
"Alright, since you trust your Brother Weilong so much, then I'll go ahead with it. You're sure it's the one on the far right, right? Once you've chosen it, you can't change it."
Zhang Hao nodded. He had made his decision and wouldn't back down. He was a real man, a man of integrity. How could 9527 see him like this? It was truly heartbreaking.
"Then let you open it yourself. And remember what you said? Since you said you wouldn't regret it, then you can open this box yourself."
After he finished speaking, the box on the far right floated to Zhang Hao's front, and Zhang Hao opened it without hesitation.
"Give me my money!!!!!"
However, as the box was opened, the small ball of light inside merged into Zhang Hao's body. At this moment, 9527 congratulated him without any emotion:
"Congratulations, host, you have acquired a normal quality massage technique. Once you are proficient, you can help your dear sisters relax. Also, seeing how pitiful you are, I will add a fascia knife technique to your skill. Next time, you can give anyone you don't like a good scraping."
But Zhang Hao was completely dumbfounded. What the heck? Ordinary? Massage technique? What could he do with this?
"No, 9527, wait a minute. What do you mean I pulled out such a useless skill pack from this high-level lottery box? Are you sure you're not messing with me on purpose?"
9527: Look, look, this is our Xiao Hao who never regrets his moves. I bet he'll come to me again to act cute and beg for forgiveness later.
"Waaaaah, 9527, my best 9527, you can't play me like this! You've gone too far! You might as well have given me a medical specialty or something. Giving massages to Sister Xiaowen and the others... isn't that like a lamb being led to the slaughter?"
9527: (Cat is shocked) Oh! So you knew? Well, thinking about it this way, isn't it actually a good thing?
"I asked you before, whether you wanted to trust your 'Brother Weilong'. Where did your confidence go? I kindly told you so many times, but you just wouldn't listen. Now that you've drawn this thing, who can you blame?"
At this moment, Zhang Hao could only look at 9527 in front of him with teary eyes, trying to use his cuteness to make 9527 pity him, but it was clear that 9527 had already solved the problem at its root.
9527: Hehehe, I can just close my eyes and not look at Xiao Hao's side. I'm such a little genius.
"Waaaaah, 9527, are you really going to just watch me go to the battlefield with such a completely useless skill? I'm going to die a horrible death!"
"Oh, Xiao Hao, don't worry. Besides, every time you guys go on a mission, aren't you always the one hiding behind Luna or Mai Xiaowen, giving us information? And even if we take a step back, you know Said and his people on Asara's side, and you know Rometheus on Hafk's side, right? Even if Demulan captures you, she'd love for you to become her son-in-law. If you ask me, you should just focus on increasing your charm to save Asara!"
Zhang Hao listened to 9527's rather "absurd" suggestion with a black line on his face. What a joke! He had to be strong! He had to be like Uncle Shenlan in the future, possessing the power to protect everyone and the power he wanted to protect.
What kind of skill is it to rely on acting cute and charming? Maybe it's just that Demulan's daughter happens to like her type. I don't feel like I've changed anything even after I've improved my charm.
9527: Um...................Of course, that's assuming you're an adult. Maybe.....................you'll see some really exciting scenes. Yeah, by the way, what happened to that potion I gave you before that made you an adult after drinking alcohol?
"Xiao Hao, where did you put the potion I exchanged for you before? Haven't you drunk it yet?"
Looking at Zhang Hao, who seemed depressed, 9527 asked curiously where she had put the potion she had exchanged earlier.
"Huh? What potion? Where did you put it? I was asleep last night, and I went to Rometheus's place first thing the next morning. I didn't see the potion you mentioned. Anyway, you should go back. I want to be alone."
Seeing that there was no more entertainment to watch, 9527 raised his eyebrows helplessly, then sighed and went back. It can only be said that Xiao Hao was not born with any talent for fighting. He had clearly reminded him so many times, but he still insisted on believing in his big brother Weilong.
"Sigh, I guess I'll just have to honestly save up points to exchange for some physical stats. Why am I so unlucky!"
After being disturbed like this, Zhang Hao lost interest in playing games. He took off his coat and lay back on the bed. Now, only sleeping could comfort him. He decided to go to sleep.
Weilong, who was wiping the colorful bird eggs, said: "Hehehe, these are my treasures. I must keep them safe. When I return to China, I will show them to those guys."
9527: Sigh, poor Xiao Hao, have you ever thought that after Wei Long used up all his luck to find this bird egg, if he chooses these things again, he'll be even more unlucky than usual? Sigh!
Chapter 377 Graduation Ceremony
That day, Demoulins was sitting in his office as usual, drinking coffee and slacking off. As for why he was slacking off...................
There's no way around it, Mary is just too capable these days. She basically doesn't need to come to Desmulan for instructions on those little things every now and then. Plus, after Richard, the former board member, was impeached, there's practically nothing left for Desmulan to do.
If I had to say, checking on the progress of the industrial park renovations with my M700 when I had nothing to do was probably the most tiring thing Demoulin did every day.
"Ugh, it's really boring to have nothing to do, but I was so busy before... so this is better."
Demulan leaned back in his chair, picked up his coffee cup, and took a sip. So this is what Rometheus usually does? That bastard really knows how to enjoy life. This kind of life is indeed very comfortable.
"These ignorant people of Asara, I really don't know what they are resisting. What's wrong with exchanging their rare metals for the buildings we helped build and the high technology from Hafk? I should have taken Xiaohao back to meet my family's Kami. If we hit it off, we could have gotten married and I could have taken better care of myself at home."
But whenever Demulan thought about Asara's current situation, he felt a headache coming on. Having Youssef was already a headache enough, but now it seemed that Reis had found a backer and was being shameless by refusing to return the Mandel bricks. Now Demulan's headache was even worse.
What's going on? Something always happens when I come here, right? Zha Reis was blown up into a boss. And now that I've put Claire in Tide Prison, is there going to be a riot there?
Demoulin: Ugh, it's really upsetting to think about.
"Jingle Bell."
Just then, Demoulins's phone rang.
Demulan picked up his phone from the side and saw that he had just thought of his wife, Cammy, who was calling him. Demulan quickly answered the phone and tried his best to speak gently to Cammy:
"Hey, Cammy, what's up with your mom?"
Upon hearing that Demulan had answered the call, Kami said with some delight:
"Mom, I... I'm graduating soon. There's a graduation ceremony here that parents and children attend together... Would you be able to come here with me then?"
Upon hearing his beloved daughter's request, Demulan glanced at the recent time he had sought revenge on Reis and asked:
“Honey, tell me the date of your graduation ceremony first, and I’ll see if I have time then. Asara has been a little quieter lately, so maybe I can attend your graduation ceremony.”
After Cammy finished telling him the date of the graduation ceremony, Demulan immediately checked his work schedule for that period.
After carefully checking the date, Demoulins smiled and said:
“No problem, Kami. Mom won’t be absent this time. I’ll fly back to attend your graduation ceremony and bring you here with me. You can also learn from your senior, Mary.”
After hearing such good news, Camille happily agreed. It was wonderful! She would see her mother soon. She hadn't seen her mother in so long.
"Oh right, Cammy, Mom sent you Xiaohao's picture last time. Did you see it? What do you think? Do you like him?"
Just as Kami was still immersed in the joy of meeting Demulan, Demulan's words came over the next second, which completely baffled our innocent Kami.
"Ah...ah?"
"What do you mean 'ah'? Didn't you see? It's the perfect son-in-law that Mom has found for you, Cammy. You really have to listen to Mom. Trust your mother's judgment, okay? Xiaohao thinks he's a perfect marriage partner. In a few days, Mom will go over there and 'bring' him over for you."
Demulan: Rometheus, I've raised you for so long, it's time you gave me something in return. Don't let me down at the crucial moment.
"Oh no, I saw the photo. By the way, Mom, aren't you being a little too hasty? That Xiao Hao... he's not even an adult yet."
Thinking about this, Kami's face flushed red. She...she had only just graduated from university, and her mother was really in such a hurry.
"Hey, Cammy, this is where you lack experience. Look, Xiao Hao isn't an adult yet, but we can wait. If you really can't resist, that's okay too. If you commit a crime, Mom is here. Even if the sky falls, Mom will hold it up for you. It's just... Xiao Hao is still young, you'd better be more restrained."
After hearing that sentence, Kami's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Was that really her usually kind mother on the other end of the phone? How could she say something like that?
Rometheus: Hehehe, you can even chat with me like that? You really think your mother is some kind of respectable person? Don't you know how old your mother was when you were born? If your father hadn't passed away early, who would know how many younger brothers and sisters you have now? (●ˇ?ˇ●)
Demulan: (grinding the North Star) Rometheus, you know quite a lot, don't you? Looks like I can't keep you around.
"Mom! I..............I'm still young, and how could I possibly do something to such a tiny cutie..............I should at least wait until he's an adult, okay?"
Upon hearing what Cammy said, Demulan, being someone with experience, immediately understood. It seemed that his daughter was quite satisfied with Xiao Hao. No, no, if his daughter could really make Xiao Hao her husband, it would seem that he was the one who was marrying above his station.
Demulan: Sigh, there's nothing I can do. My Camille was already the cutest in the world, but what can I do? I just discovered Xiao Hao.
Chapter 378 Geheros
"Commander Geheros, speaking of which, we haven't been back to Tide Prison for so long. Without you there... wouldn't some unexpected things happen?"
In a certain country, the warden of the Tide Prison, Gheros, was walking down the road with a Hafk soldier. After seeing what had recently happened in Asara's area, the soldier behind him asked with some concern.
"I believe in Demulan. She will take control of the situation in the Asara region. Our biggest task now is to expose the dark side of GTI to the world by making these accusations against the high-ranking members of GTI."
Wearing a mask and with an air of nonchalance, Gherros finished speaking and walked straight into the building in front of him. GTI... what a fascinating organization.
"Hey, wait for me, Commander Geheros."
. . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . .
"Wow, those two prisoners are fighting! Li, aren't you going to come and see? This is going to be hilarious!"
Meanwhile, inside the Tide Prison, Claire was like a curious child, peering through the glass of the upper office, her eyes wide with wonder as she watched the two Asara people below, whose initial shoving and pushing had escalated into a full-blown fight.
"What's so interesting about this? When those troublemakers were first locked up, you could see them fighting every day. You know, the people of Asara aren't as united as you think. Even the people of Asara here are divided into two factions."
Claire glanced back at Li, who was still reading, and then darted to her side, asking a question.
"You mean the commoners and the people from the raven's side, right? You haven't told me in detail yet, so tell me quickly."
Unfortunately, Xiao Li was still engrossed in the book in her hands. This book was the one Claire had brought earlier. After Xiao Li found out that she had brought a whole backpack full of books, she began her book-borrowing journey.
"Maybe next time, I need to read a book. Why don't you go watch those two fight?"
"Waaaaah, Xiao Li, you can't do this to me! What's so interesting about these books anyway? It seems like their only purpose is to hypnotize me. Don't you get bored reading them all the time?"
Under Claire's persistent harassment, Xiao Li could no longer concentrate on his book. He reluctantly put it down, sighed, and said:
"Sigh, I really don't understand where you get all that energy. If you don't read, what are you doing bringing so many books here?"
"Just for show."
Xiao Li:...............................
"So what do you usually do when you're out, besides looking at your phone? It's boring here, but surely you can find something to have fun about here."
Xiao Li asked curiously, "This Claire has so much energy. She keeps saying she's bored, but she'll do anything to keep herself from being bored."
"Hmm... running, shooting, mountain climbing, skiing... I can't do any of my usual hobbies here. It's really frustrating. I wish I hadn't agreed to let Ms. Demulan come here in the first place."
Hearing this, Xiao Li was speechless. These hobbies... it seems they really don't fit in here.
Take what happened a while ago, for example. Claire couldn't stand being in the office any longer. It seemed like if she had stayed there for even a second longer, she would have fainted on the spot.
Helpless, Xiao Li gave her the right to move around freely as long as nothing went wrong. Otherwise, she was really afraid that this lively and active girl would become dull-witted from staying in the office all day.
Having received permission, Claire didn't waste any more words and ran straight out of the office, as if there were some kind of monster inside.
After successfully escaping the "man-eating" office, Claire, having nothing to do, picked up a baton and began patrolling the tidal prison. However, she had walked through these areas countless times, and after a short while, Claire felt extremely bored.
"Ah! Luna! Xiao Hao! You guys have to save me! I'm so bored I'm about to explode! Seriously, is there really going to be a riot here? Why is it always the same? I'm so bored I'm about to ascend to heaven!"
But there was nothing she could do; even throwing a tantrum wouldn't get her phone back. Desperate, Claire could only continue wandering aimlessly until...
(Sniffs) Ugh, looks like the cafeteria is serving the same food again today? I'm so fed up! Why do I always feel like I'm living the same day over and over again here?!
Upon seeing the cafeteria not far ahead, Claire sighed again. Eating the same food every day, she felt like she was becoming tasteless. Couldn't the chefs here change things up from time to time?
She had been thinking that the chefs here might cook something special for her after she got tired of the food, but when she went there excitedly, she was told that Gheros had made a rule that everyone had to eat the same thing, and that the head chef had to decide.
When she couldn't get special treatment, Claire immediately went to the head chef, hoping he could change up the menu when he had some free time.
“Miss Claire, we would like to, but you have to understand that there are not many edible vegetables on this land of Asara right now. The resources from headquarters will take some time to arrive. We have already tried our best to make these repetitive dishes taste very good, but if you are tired of them, there is nothing I can do.”
Claire, who had nothing to do this time, suddenly had a good idea and immediately walked towards the kitchen.
A short while later, Xiao Li, who was still processing documents in the office, was startled and stood up by Claire's powerful kick to the door.
"Look, Xiao Li, this is a dish I made myself. You're in for a treat today."
Xiao Li then saw the dishes Claire was holding... Thankfully, they still looked like food, just a little burnt.
Why did I get into Chapter 379? (1)
