Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

"I'm writing my graduation thesis."

Zhao Hao was taken aback. "Huh? You're graduating soon?"

“Oh, I’m applying to graduate early. I’ll graduate with psychology and sociology at the same time.” She minored in sociology.

"Wow~ That's awesome!" Zhao Hao couldn't help but praise.

Elena is a smart girl, and she is also quite mature.

Even after becoming a superhuman, he continued to study diligently. He even earned a double degree! Impressive!

However, her abilities did indeed greatly benefit her studies and research. She's definitely a female protagonist with a "golden finger" in female-oriented novels.

Zhao Hao gently massaged her temples to help her relax. "So, what's the topic of your graduation thesis?"

"These are 'Psychological Changes and Root Causes in Polygamous Men' and 'An Attempt to Reshape the Social Behavior of Male Animals'."

"..." Zhao Hao stopped smiling and massaging.

"Hmm? Why aren't you saying anything?" Elena smiled, a slight upturn at the corners of her lips.

"Ahem! I won't disturb you while you're writing your paper, I'm off~" (He slipped away.)

Zhao Hao suddenly remembered that Hercules was poisoned by his own wife Ianella, and in the end, unable to bear the pain, he threw himself into the fire and committed suicide!

Even Hercules couldn't escape having an unvirtuous wife and unfilial children. How terrible!

Zhao Hao tiptoed away again... Wait, why did I say again?

Elena suddenly turned around and called out, "Wait!"

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Zhao Hao's voice trembled as he worried that Elena was going to "analyze" him, the experimental subject.

Elena walked over and hugged Zhao Hao, whispering in his ear, "After graduation, I want to have a child..."

Having children is wonderful!

Lilies are wonderful, but they can't have children. So they still really need me!

Wait, having a baby? I want to be a dad? I'm not ready yet!

Zhao Hao was still in a daze when he returned to his bedroom! I don't think I'm even 25 yet!

However, it seems like it's about time. Because once you advance to Silver rank, it might be difficult to leave behind descendants.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Olympian gods in Greek mythology are portrayed as beasts of burden, especially Zeus, who had countless children. He could practically have offspring from a tree stump.

However, their pantheon had special attributes at that time, and Zeus created special rules to prevent his prophesied son from taking his place.

Gods in other pantheons rarely have offspring.

In the Celestial Empire, the Jade Emperor had seven daughters, the Seven Fairy Maidens. How many other gods have you heard of who had children?

Erlang Shen? Liu Chenxiang? That's why they violated the heavenly rules!

This aligns with the natural order of things: the more powerful an entity is, the more difficult it is for it to reproduce and the fewer its numbers become.

If I were to advance to Silver rank and still want children, I'd probably have to resort to something like the Harvest Goddess. The greater the gap between me and Elena and the others, the less likely it would be.

"Ahem! This kind of thing needs to be practiced." Zhao Hao made up an excuse for himself and then went to the small world.

谷霚

Today is, after all, the last day of 83. Although it's not a holiday in the real world, it's a very important day in Zhao Hao's small world.

The passing of the old year and the welcoming of the new is a crucial moment for the world to begin a new cycle. As the master of this small world, Zhao Hao has many things to do.

For example, setting the theme for the small world's operation next year, measuring certain values, and modifying the operating rules.

Many things need to be changed, and ceremonies are still required.

For example, if Zhao Hao wants the small world to have favorable weather, abundant harvests, and thriving animals, then he needs to hold this ceremony.

The White Queen, Queen Jane, Queen Isabella, Little Red Riding Hood, and the Little Mermaid were all summoned to hold a fertility ceremony.

……

Preparing for pregnancy is a very formal matter, involving not only physical preparation but also psychological, financial, and many other aspects.

Since deciding to become a father, Zhao Hao's mindset has begun to change.

I'm going to be a dad soon, and the burden on my shoulders will be heavier. I can't be reckless; I need to be steady and reliable.

Well, it seems I've always been an old hand.

Let's remove that... We need to prepare some family assets, some "start-up capital" for the child who hasn't even been born yet! Other people's starting line is already at the finish line.

That's right, becoming a father means working even harder.

Zhao Hao began inspecting the construction of the dream world, carefully examining the Minions' experimental projects, and cutting projects that seemed unreliable, such as "cultivating new varieties of sea banana people," "alchemy surgery to maintain an erection," and "experiments on coexistence of diseases with Celestial Dragons."

And punish the Minions by making them sweep the streets!

Then, the workshops, factories, and resource outputs in the dream were reorganized, and the personnel in the dream were also reorganized.

Fantasy Westward Journey has been popular for several years now, and there are always those hardcore gamers who are fearless and dedicated to grinding. As they die more and more, they gradually lose more spiritual energy, and eventually they will be replaced by Zhao Hao's spiritual energy compensation mechanism.

Finally, as long as one dies completely in the real world, their soul will return here and become the "dream weaver" in Zhao Hao's dream.

Although you can continue playing the game, you've now become an NPC instead of a player.

But this is a good thing, it's better than people dying and becoming evil spirits in the underworld, right?

There are quite a few of these people, totaling over 300, with ordinary people and extraordinary individuals each making up half of them.

They formed teams, clearly defined responsibilities, and even assigned tasks within the game to prevent players from becoming aimless NPCs wandering around aimlessly.

Zhao Hao made further arrangements within the small world.

Previously, he had only just entered the Bronze level, so even if he had authority, the power he could leverage and the changes he could make were relatively small.

So most of the time it's very primitive "sowing" and "harvesting" behavior, producing some extraordinary specialties from a small world.

Now that I'm at Bronze 4-star, my psionic power level surpasses that of a normal Bronze 5-star, so there's a lot more I can do.

Modifying ocean currents, altering climate cycles, changing continental shifts, moving continental shelves, and constructing underground veins...

After a series of changes, the small world will gradually change according to Zhao Hao's ideas over a period of time.

The location, shape, topography, and climate of the land.

Then, with the help of several queens, Zhao Hao established several training institutions.

Humans play an indispensable role in fully developing this small world.

After several years of training, these qualified children will become Zhao Hao's tools, managing the small world according to his wishes.

Only then will Zhao Hao truly have control over the small world and be able to reap the greatest benefits.

……

After 84, Ami continued to make moves.

Actress-turned-President Lee Geun-ah signed the document approving the implementation of the "anti-ballistic missile system".

Its main weapons are space-based directed energy weapons and kinetic energy weapons, non-nuclear interceptor missiles, and hypersonic electromagnetic railguns.

This thing is aimed at the sky!

Shooting birds?

Zhao Hao was quite curious, so he asked Colt about it.

However, Colt could only shrug and shrug; he didn't know either.

In fact, he's actually starting to have some free time now.

The Liberty City branch of the Secret Service has gradually been sidelined by the American authorities. There's nothing you can do; when you're on someone else's turf, they'll find a hundred ways to mess with you.

For example, they might refuse to give you a visa, preventing you from attending the joint meeting.

Colt's hair has grown quite a bit now, which shows he's really bored.

"I'm completely clueless now," he said, tidying his impeccably clean desk.

"However, I have heard some things about it. This mysterious anti-ballistic missile integrated defense system is another major systems engineering project after the Apollo moon landing project. The plan consists of two parts: the 'space ballistic missile defense plan' and the 'anti-satellite plan'. It is said that the plan will invest 300 billion over 10 years!"

Zhao Hao was startled. What plan was it to invest 30 billion?

The Apollo program only cost 25.5 billion! And that was for manned lunar landings!

"300 billion? Really?"

Cole nodded: "It should be true. Recently, the higher-ups have been researching advanced regional psionic weapons; they're going to build large-scale psionic weapons!"

"A large-scale psionic weapon? I heard the Russians have something similar?"

"Well, it's very immature, barely usable. Didn't it break a large meteorite before?"

"What about Amei? What are they going to fight with that thing? They're not planning to fight the Russians, are they?" Zhao Hao was worried that the timeline would go astray and cause some kind of first psionic world war!

"No, no, it's not that bad," Colt said, waving his hands repeatedly.

Do you remember the Amsterdam moon landing?

"Didn't you say that all related projects and plans were subsequently shelved, and that we were no longer allowed to go to the moon?"

"Yes! They're afraid to go to the moon, and they're also afraid something on the moon might come to our planet. The situation is getting worse, and there's not much I can do to help you anymore. You need to be extra careful from now on; things are not looking good..."

Zhao Hao had barely settled in after returning from Colt's place when he received a call from Ma Xiaoyu.

"Brother Ritian, come quick! Your great-uncle is calling you!"

"Hey! You little brat, are you itching for a beating again? You wait here, don't go anywhere! I'm coming over and giving you a good spanking!"

Zhao Hao hung up the phone and rushed to the antique shop, wondering what Uncle Tie had called him for.

Upon entering the shop, as soon as the door was pushed open, the bell hanging beside the door jingled melodiously.

Uncle Tie stood behind the counter, wearing glasses and keeping accounts.

Zhao Hao was all too familiar with this scene; it was just like when he was working at the store a few years ago. It seemed like Uncle Tie had been standing there the whole time without moving.

"Uncle Tie, I'm here," Zhao Hao said.

"Please sit down. Do you need me to pour you some tea?"

"No need, no need!" Before Zhao Hao could even sit down, Xiao Yu had already brought out the tea.
