Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

Roy turned around and prepared to go find Shenlan, hoping that Shenlan could stand up for him. However, to Roy's surprise, after he wailed for a long time, Shenlan did not even pay attention to him. She just silently turned around and went back to the kitchen.

"Alright, stop yelling. Who do you think you are, Xiao Hao? Who are you trying to impress with your crying? You should just go and be Zoya's slave. Don't worry, we'll be coming to see you with some melon seeds later."

Roy: (╬▔皿▔)╯

But there was no other way; it was Zoya who had called me, and if I didn't go...

Roy could only sigh and dejectedly went to the bathroom to get his tools.

"See? I told you to stay away from Roy. Let me tell you, if he hadn't been laughing and had just sat here quietly, Zoya wouldn't have noticed us laughing so blatantly. See? This is the consequence."

After Roy left, it was time for Dragon and Red Wolf to burst into laughter.

Chapter 319 Another meeting?

After enjoying a delicious breakfast, Zhang Hao leaned against Luna and started playing on his phone. Looking at his chat history with [Zero] from yesterday, Zhang Hao felt a bit of a headache.

Could it be that Rometheus showed Zero something he shouldn't have seen? Zhang Hao absolutely refused to believe that the previously naive Zero would say such a thing.

Rometheus: I'm innocent! If I could say such sweet nothings, would I still be single for so long? Ella, why are you looking at me like that? You don't like me? Then come and hit me!

After considering Rometheus's personality, Zhang Hao silently ruled out the possibility that Rometheus had led him astray. After all, Uncle Rometheus was just as shameless as Roy, and he probably wouldn't say such sweet nothings.

Rometheus: Although what you said is indeed correct, why does it feel like something is a little off to me? Never mind, I'm going to continue upgrading my Relink brain-computer interface.

After thinking about it, Zhang Hao sent a message to [Zero].

Zhang Hao: [Zero] Tomorrow is the weekend, I'll come to Babel to visit you. You have to finish all your homework today.

[Zero]: What homework? Homework is for those who are not familiar with the knowledge points to consolidate their understanding. Rometheus said I am a genius and do not need such things at all.

Zhang Hao: ...............You bastard.

[Zero]: ? ? ? Xiao Hao, why are you saying that? Rometheus also told me that everyone has different strengths. I know that you really don't have any talent in this area, so you don't need to get so excited.

After reading the heart-wrenching words sent by [Zero], Zhang Hao felt exhausted. He thought, "Destruction is the only option." He never expected that even [Zero], who had vowed to protect him for life, was now looking down on him in this field.

Fortunately, he still had Uncle Said by his side, who was also a poor student. The thought that at least he didn't have to study anymore, while Uncle Said still had to bravely do the homework that Sister Sophia assigned him every day, helped Zhang Hao adjust his mindset, which was about to explode.

Said: Huh? So what? Is all your happiness built on my suffering? Sofia, look at this, even Xiao Hao doesn't have to do these annoying assignments anymore, but me, as the leader of the dam, I'm not fighting on the front lines, not working in the fields, and I'm just holed up in this little office doing my homework! I'll be laughed at by everyone if they find out.

Sofia: How about you cut your food in half today and then go farm?

Saeed: Okay, no problem. I knew Sofia, you're the best to me.

Meanwhile, at the Tower of Babel, Zero found Ella immediately and told her that Zhang Hao would be coming to visit for two days the next day.

"It seems you're happy that Xiao Hao is coming to [Zero], but why can't you smile? Although we didn't install the emotion module on you before, you should be able to feel your own emotional fluctuations now, right?"

Seeing that Zero, whose tone was full of "happiness" in front of her, still had the same expressionless face, Ella wondered if she should guide Zero to understand what emotions were through her.

"Why should we laugh when we're happy? Just like no one says we have to cry when we're sad. I can't understand how you normal humans understand emotions, but I think Xiao Hao can teach me."

Ella: Okay, I think I understand now. She doesn't want to learn from us, she just wants Xiao Hao to teach her. Well, I'll ask Xiao Hao for help when he comes tomorrow.

Seeing this, Ella didn't say anything more. After returning to the lab, she told Rometheus and then went to her computer as usual to start her work for the day.

After a while, Ella planned to bring this seemingly incredibly boring "Zero" along to keep her company while she worked. After all, "Zero" might call her "Mom" someday, so it was necessary to cultivate a relationship early on. (* /ω＼*)

Just as Ella sat down in front of the computer and started giggling to herself, a message from Mary popped up on her computer.

"Oh? Doesn't Mary have anything to do today? I didn't expect her to contact me on her own initiative. I'd like to see what this bookworm has to send me?"

Seeing that it was a message from Ella on her computer, Ella opened the chat box with great curiosity. Could it be that her best friend had some juicy gossip to share with her? She had to check it out.

But when Ella opened her chat window with Mary, she found that her boring best friend had not disappointed her.

Forget the sensational gossip, there are only a few lines of text on it.

Mary: Ms. Demoulins wants you to tell Rometheus that there will be a high-level meeting tomorrow night. Mr. Jacob personally gave her some instructions. Remember to tell Rometheus to come early and not to be late, okay?

"Sigh, how boring. Luckily, Xiao Hao helped us find this [Zero]. Otherwise, given Rometheus's personality, he probably wouldn't have just handed over the management of the Tower of Babel to me."

Ella thought of the recent high-level meetings, which were becoming more and more frequent. Rometheus was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes all the way to the solar system. When he was so angry, he could only criticize Demulan for liking to hold these meaningless meetings.

Fortunately, she was just a messenger. The reason Demulan didn't speak directly to Rometheus was probably because Rometheus had turned off his phone while conducting experiments inside, which is why he sent Mary to her to relay the message.

"Hey teacher, did you turn your phone off again?"

Ella also went into the laboratory and found Rometheus still working hard on the dissection table.

"Ugh, who's looking for me now? Wait, I told you to come and tell me... What does that old hag Demulan want now? I just confessed everything to her, is it necessary for her to harass me every day?"

Rometheus thought for a moment and realized that it was probably Demulan coming to find him again, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Teacher, you'd better watch your mouth. If Ms. Demulan were to hear any of these words, I think she would immediately drop what she's doing, grab her Polaris, and come after you."

Chapter 320 Rometheus: I feel so bad

"So what? She's harassing me every day, can't I even complain a little? Tell me, what does she want from me this time? I don't even have time to enjoy life anymore. I'm here every day upgrading and perfecting this Relink brain-computer interface. Especially now that Hamk is gone, we don't have any experimental materials left. But thankfully, it only needs some improvements before it's ready to be released."

Seeing Rometheus with dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyes, Ella felt a pang of sympathy and took a tissue to wipe the blood off his face. Then she told Rometheus the message Mary had sent her.

"Wait, Ella, hold on a minute. I might be hallucinating from staying up too long. You mean there's another high-level meeting, right?"

Rometheus quickly interrupted Ella, then leaned closer to her and asked again with a sincere expression.

"Although I really feel sorry for you, teacher, you haven't reached the point of hallucinations. Since you want to hear it, I'll say it again, okay? There's a high-level meeting at 7:30 tomorrow night, and Ms. Demulan specifically asked me to remind you not to be late."

"No! God! Oh no, I don't believe in God. Heavens, destroy me! I don't want this damn high-level position for even a day longer. I'm exhausted every day. I'm just an ordinary Relink brain-computer interface developer. Why do you have to torture me like this every day?"

Ella looked at Rometheus, who was acting crazy in front of her, with an expression of no surprise. She also had a headache. In the Hafk Group, countless people would fight tooth and nail for this high-level position. You know, in some smaller countries, the Hafk Group's top executives can sit on equal footing with the local top leader.

But after seeing Rometheus's mental state, Ella could only say that she had gotten used to it.

“Ella, oh my dear Ella, I’ve made my decision. From today onwards, you will be a high-ranking official in the Baksh region. I…”

Unfortunately, before Rometheus could finish speaking, Ella interrupted him, looking at the helpless and weak Rometheus before her, and said:

"Teacher, don't lie to yourself. Even if you want me to become a high-level person in Bakshi, it still has to go through a high-level meeting. So you should go and rest well later, and go to the space base for the meeting tomorrow. Oh, by the way, Xiao Hao will come to play tomorrow. If you want to cry, you can hug Xiao Hao and cry. Xiao Hao won't scold you."

After speaking, Ella quickly left the lab. She couldn't help it; she wasn't as passionate about her work as Mary. Perhaps having the right leader was really important, as it was immediately apparent in one's work attitude.

Ella thought back to how she hadn't really suffered much since meeting Rometheus in college and then being recruited by him to the Hafk Group after graduation. Rometheus was a very responsible teacher, and he practically taught Ella everything he knew. Even Relink brain-computer interface technology was something he had only taught to her.

When he first arrived at the Hafk Group, he was also by Rometheus's side, and at that time Rometheus was quite normal... at least he wouldn't act crazy in front of him like he does now.

It can be said that ever since Ella followed Rometheus in college, Rometheus has been personally guiding her, his only disciple. So it is quite normal for Ella to develop feelings for Rometheus.

"Never mind, never mind. This isn't the first time Rometheus has wanted me to be a high-ranking member to help him hold meetings. He should go and train Zero properly. I should just focus on dealing with these matters in the Tower of Babel."

Ella sat back down at her computer, opened the documents sent by different departments, and began processing them one by one.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . .

However, at this time, the space base...

"Mr. Jacob, are you sure you want Robert to be the head of the agricultural laboratory? I have some concerns about him..."

At that moment, in Demoulins' office, Demoulins was making a phone call with a serious expression in front of the window. On the other end of the line was Jacob Hafk, the largest shareholder of the Hafk Group.

"Hehehe, Demulan, I know you might have a different opinion about Robert, but... as of now, who in your Asara region do you think is capable of taking over the agricultural research laboratory?"

After listening to Jacob's words, Demulan thought that Richard was better than that idiot Robert, but then he remembered that tomorrow night was the night to issue Richard's death certificate, and he was speechless for a moment.

“Look at you, Demulan, you’re already busy enough managing a space base. Audrey has been assassinated, and Rometheus, well, he’ll probably throw a tantrum in front of me. So, Demulan, sometimes you need to put aside your prejudices against each other.”

Demurean almost rolled her eyes when she heard this. It wasn't prejudice, okay? In her opinion, it was completely impossible for Robert, that idiot, to do such an important corporate project well.

Robert: Desmulan, I challenge you to a duel! This is blatant slander against me. It's one thing to look down on me, but tell me what you mean by "completely impossible"? You're still relying on my funds to rebuild the industrial zone for your space base!

"Alright, I won't say any more. You can talk to them about this during your meeting tomorrow night. Besides, in my opinion, Robert is the most suitable person among you to build and manage the agricultural science laboratory. Don't rush to refute me, time will tell."

After Jacob finished speaking, he hung up the phone immediately, leaving Demoulan standing alone at the window, lost in thought.

"An agricultural science laboratory, built underground... Something feels off. I hope I'm not overthinking it. But now I realize that among the high-ranking officials still in Asara, the only one left who's dead or impeached is that idiot Robert."

Demulan then realized that Robert, whom he had initially thought would be the first to be killed, was actually the one who was doing the best among the three. It just goes to show that there is some truth to the saying that fools are lucky.

Chapter 321 Back to Babel Again

"Hey, [Zero], did you miss me? Where are Uncle Rometheus and Sister Ella?"

Early in the morning, Zhang Hao arrived in Bakshi. Coincidentally, it was also Weilong's turn to patrol Bakshi today, so Zhang Hao happily hitched a ride.

"I don't know, but I did hear Rometheus screaming last night. I don't know if he's dead."

[Zero] answered with a blank expression, but his eyes remained fixed on Zhang Hao, and he began to observe Zhang Hao from every angle.

"You've lost weight, you should eat more later."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao looked over with some curiosity. Had [Zero] already evolved to the point where it could directly see through his weight and height?

"Then can you tell if I've grown taller?"

After hearing this, [Zero] obediently looked Zhang Hao over again, and then said:

"Xiao Hao, you shouldn't lie to yourself. You're only slightly taller than me."

Zhang Hao: Damn it, do you really think I won't change? [Zero] Just you wait and see, I'll show you what reverse growth in Chinese martial arts really means. /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

9527: Oh?! So China has such techniques? It seems that no matter which world of China it is, it's always so amazing! But Xiao Hao, I'll say it again, don't deceive yourself. You'll just get shorter, becoming stronger is unrealistic. Oh, but you'll become even cuter! ('▽`???)

Zhang Hao: Why?! I want to be a 1.8-meter-tall handsome guy! Why can't I ever catch up to Luna and the others?! 〒▽〒

"Let's go inside. It's not good for us to just stand outside."

After saying that, Zhang Hao followed behind Zero into the Tower of Babel.

“Speaking of Zero, hasn’t Uncle Rometheus told the Hafk Group that he’s found you yet? You seem to have a lot of free time! How about you come work for our Special Operations Department on the side or something?”

After the two returned, Zhang Hao learned that Rometheus had not yet installed the Relink brain-computer interface specially prepared for Zero. He said that once it was installed, the high-ranking members of the Hafk Group would know that Zero, the war machine, had been found.

"Wow!!! Xiao Hao, you've finally come to see your Uncle Rometheus! Let me tell you, starting today... Oh, Ella, what are you doing again?"

Just as the two were about to enter Zero's room, Rometheus's incoherent voice and Ella's exasperated attempts to stop them came from afar.

"Will they continue to be like this after I left?"

Zhang Hao turned around and asked [Zero].
