Rose was silent for a few seconds before slowly raising her head. Her beautiful eyes held a hint of grievance and stubbornness as she looked at Qin Chuan and asked earnestly:
"You've been carrying me around all this time, is it really just because you need my genes to help you stabilize spacetime? Am I just... a tool?"
Hearing her question so bluntly, even with a hint of self-deprecation, Qin Chuan couldn't help but chuckle.
He nodded and admitted, "That is indeed the main reason."
Rose's heart sank instantly, and her nose felt a little sore.
But then she heard Qin Chuan add with a hint of a smile, "However, there are other reasons as well."
"what reason?"
Rose pressed for an answer almost immediately, a faint glimmer of hope rekindling in her eyes.
"As for other reasons, it's naturally because Comrade Du Qiangwei is beautiful and pleasing to the eye. During breaks from work, she can also enjoy the beautiful scenery and relieve fatigue."
Qin Chuan found her nervous yet expectant expression amusing and deliberately drew out his words with a smile:
"If this were a grown man with time-space genes, I would definitely find another way to solve it, and I would never keep it around with me every day."
"You!" Rose was completely taken aback by this answer. Her cheeks flushed crimson, and she glared at him, both ashamed and angry. "You're a god! The supreme god of Earth! How... how can your thoughts be so... so low-class!"
She complained, her tone tinged with reproach, but for some reason, the bitterness and disappointment in her heart were instantly replaced by an indescribable joy and delight, and she couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of her mouth.
To cover it up, she hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to be focused on cutting the steak that had just been served.
"So... he didn't just treat me as a tool after all..."
The thought swirled uncontrollably in her mind.
The meal ended in this subtle and pleasant atmosphere.
After the meal, Rose thought that Qin Chuan should finally return to the Super God Academy to supervise the training of the Super Soldier Corps.
Unexpectedly, Qin Chuan stood up again and said to her, "Let's go see an old friend."
"An old friend again?" Rose was already somewhat used to Qin Chuan's elusive nature and wide circle of friends. "Which god or demon is it this time?"
Qin Chuan looked at her, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "This old friend, strictly speaking, is neither a god nor a demon. However, I guess he is definitely your idol."
"Idol?" Upon hearing this, Rose immediately curled her lip in disdain. "I'm not one of those little girls who idolize stars. I don't have any idols."
As a professional soldier, she admires strength and discipline and has no interest in the entertainment industry.
"Oh? Is that so?" Qin Chuan didn't argue, but just smiled and walked out first. "Then you'll find out if you follow me."
Rose followed along, somewhat skeptical.
The two left the city and arrived at a secluded villa in the suburbs, which looked quite tranquil and had a Chinese courtyard style.
"Who lives here?"
Rose became even more curious.
Qin Chuan stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
A moment later, the villa door was opened from the inside.
A furry monkey face with a thunderous mouth and piercing eyes suddenly popped out and shouted impatiently, "Who is it?! Disturbing my peaceful sleep?!"
When that face came into full view of Rose, she was frozen in place as if by magic, her mind went blank, her eyes widened, and her mouth opened slightly involuntarily.
Even breathing suddenly stopped!
This! This! This really is her idol! Or rather, he is the childhood and even current idol of countless people across China!
Qi! Heaven! Great! Sage! Sun! Wukong!
Which Chinese person didn't dream of wielding the golden cudgel and wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace when they were a child?!
Chapter 22 Corporal Education, Island Nation's Transformation
Inside the villa, the familiar monkey face was stunned for a moment upon seeing Qin Chuan, then burst into a light of surprise!
"Huh?! It's you! Old Qin! Hahaha! Fourteen hundred years! I, Old Sun, thought you'd disappeared into some unknown corner again!"
Sun Wukong scratched his ears and cheeks excitedly, his golden eyes filled with the joy of a long-awaited reunion.
But then a hint of worry appeared on his face as he peered cautiously behind Qin Chuan, "This time... he won't suddenly disappear in a flash again, will he?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan smiled slightly and gestured to Rose, who was still frozen in shock beside him: "Don't worry, with her here this time, things should be stable for a while."
Sun Wukong then noticed the almost petrified Rose, blinking his fiery eyes: "Oh? Isn't this Old Du's red-haired little daughter? What are you doing with Old Qin?"
Although he didn't fully understand the relationship between the two, his hospitable nature made him immediately step aside. "Don't stand there! Come in, come in! I, Old Sun, just got a few jars of good wine, let's have a taste!"
Entering the living room, which was filled with classical Chinese charm, Rose was still not fully recovered from the shock of seeing her childhood idol. She subconsciously stood at attention and mechanically replied, "Report! I am on a mission and cannot drink alcohol!"
Sun Wukong waved his hand dismissively: "Hey! There aren't so many rules here! Old Qin, come on, let's have a good drink!"
Qin Chuan naturally did not refuse. He sat opposite Sun Wukong, broke the clay seal on the wine jar, and the rich aroma of the wine instantly filled the air.
The two toasted each other and drank heartily. Although they had only met briefly 1,400 years ago, they seemed like old friends.
After a few rounds of drinks, Qin Chuan put down his wine bowl and explained the purpose of his visit: "Great Sage, I've come to see you today because I need your help with something."
"Oh? What is it? Just say it! Why be so polite with me, Old Sun?"
Sun Wukong, gulping down wine, mumbled a reply.
"I'd like to ask you to 'educate' a bunch of greenhorns," Qin Chuan said calmly. "Give them a real combat rehearsal in your own way. Let them understand in advance what it means to be outmatched and capable. Otherwise, they might die without even knowing how they died when they actually get on the battlefield."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong scratched his head, somewhat puzzled: "Educating new recruits? Why don't you go yourself? I remember clearly, 1,400 years ago, when dealing with those Fiery Sun brats, you were much more ruthless than I, Old Sun."
Qin Chuan shook his head: "I already know them, and if I were to take action, it wouldn't achieve a real combat effect. They would feel dependent and take chances. But you are different."
He glanced at Rose, who was listening intently beside him, and continued:
"You are a hero and idol in the hearts of many of them. It would be most effective for you, the 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven,' to give them a taste of their power. Afterwards, when they learn the truth, they will only regard it as a rare experience and will not harbor any resentment."
Sun Wukong blinked his fiery eyes, pondered for a moment, and found the words to be reasonable and quite amusing, so he readily slapped his thigh:
"Alright! Leave this to me, Old Sun! When do we start?"
"Soon." Qin Chuan raised his wine bowl. "Come on, let's drink first!"
After a satisfying meal, Qin Chuan took his leave with a dazed Qiangwei. Before parting, Qin Chuan specifically instructed her:
"After we get back, we'll keep the details about Sun Wukong and the upcoming 'special training' a secret for now."
Rose instinctively stood at attention: "Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"
But his eyes couldn't help but dart towards the villa.
Upon returning to Super God Academy, Rose was immediately surrounded by the members of the Super Soldier Corps, whose gossip-loving spirits were burning brightly.
"Sister Rose! Tell me quickly! Where did the principal take you?"
"Did you go on a date?"
"What did you see? Something delicious or fun?"
"Did the principal do something to you...?"
A barrage of questions came at Rose, making her blush. Although she remembered her orders to keep her mouth shut, she was struggling to keep up with the various outrageous speculations, especially about the date, and was on the verge of losing her composure.
Fortunately, Qin Chuan's voice rang out at the right moment, as if it had magic, instantly silencing the noisy scene: "Quiet down, everyone."
Everyone immediately fell silent and looked at him.
Qin Chuan glanced at everyone and said in a serious tone, "We just received urgent intelligence. Death God Karl has used the Great Clock to temporarily summon the Victorious Fighting Buddha Sun Wukong from Earth's mythology."
"What?! Sun Wukong?!"
"real or fake?!"
"Holy crap! Monkey King?!"
An uproar erupted below, with everyone's faces filled with shock and disbelief.
Qin Chuan continued to lie through his teeth:
"However, the summoning process seems to have gone awry. Sun Wukong is in an extremely unstable and berserk state and is currently active in the southwestern mountainous area, where villages have already been destroyed. Your mission is to find and subdue him before he causes further destruction and harms more innocent people."
This news was like a bombshell, leaving everyone stunned.
How long have they been training? And they're already going to face mythical figures in real combat?!
"This... this is going to be a real battle so soon?" Ge Xiaolun's voice trembled slightly.
"The opponent is still Sun Wukong..." Zhao Xin swallowed hard.
Qin Chuan said seriously, "Reality is cruel. You never know which will come first, the unexpected or tomorrow. As members of the Super Soldier Squad, you don't have time to grow slowly. Lena!"
“Here!” Lena stepped forward.
"You will lead the team. Depart immediately for the target area to carry out the mission!"
Led by Lena, the members of the Super Soldier Squad, filled with a mix of nervousness, excitement, and fear, boarded the transport plane and flew towards the coordinates given by Qin Chuan.
They had no idea that what awaited them was a merciless "spare the rod and spoil the child" from their idol.
Just as the Super Soldier Company began their first real combat test.
An island nation that faces China across the sea.
Morgana appeared in the sky above Tokyo, looking down at the bustling and crowded city below, a cruel yet delightful smile curling at the corners of her lips.
She opened her arms, and dense, inky dark energy, accompanied by invisible demonic gene spores, spread rapidly like a plague, merging into the air and seeping into the water...
Within just a few hours, alarming mutations began to appear across the island nation!
The most shocking scene occurred during a prime minister's press conference, which was broadcast globally.
The prime minister, who was giving a passionate speech, suddenly convulsed violently, his skin turned blue and purple, bone spurs emerged from his forehead, and he let out an inhuman roar. In front of the whole world, he transformed into a hideous low-level demon!
Panic swept across the entire island nation in an instant, like wildfire!
The demonic gene spread faster than anyone could have imagined, causing more and more people to mutate, attack each other, and completely collapse into order...
As Qin Chuan said, the demon gene only amplifies inner desires and the dark side.
However, the mutation rate and proportion across the entire island nation are astonishingly high, as if silently proving some unbearable reality—on this land, those who truly yearn for the light, have a firm will, and can resist temptation are extremely rare.
When images of the dramatic changes in the island nation were transmitted via satellite to the conference rooms of world leaders, everyone felt a chilling fear!
