Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

This point came to Rometheus's mind when he was deducing with Ella, but Zero refrained from asking Zhang Hao about it on the spot, since he considered it a "little secret" between him and Xiao Hao.

He still needed to avoid Rometheus and Ella, two people he wasn't "very familiar" with.

Rometheus: Waaaaah, Daddy, I'm so sad [Zero], but thinking about how you've grown up, I'm also very gratified, waaaaah. Ella, do you think I should cry or laugh now? Crying and laughing at the same time seems a bit crazy.

Reminded by Zero, Zhang Hao suddenly remembered that the Mandel Brick hadn't been given to anyone yet and was still in Said's hands. Moreover, Zhang Hao still vividly remembered what happened to Reis when Demulan tried to get the Mandel Brick back.

Zhang Hao: Oh no, oh no, oh no, how could I forget about this? Speaking of which, should we ask Uncle Said to sell this Mandel Brick back at a high price? Anyway, judging from our current level of weaponry, it's too far-fetched to think that we can go to the space base to crack this Mandel Brick and bring it out!

Meanwhile, amidst Zhang Hao's concerns, our protagonist, Said, sneezed loudly and then curiously asked Sophia beside him:

"Sophia, were you just mentally cursing me? How could someone with my superhuman physical abilities possibly sneeze?"

However, Sofia, who was already used to such things, simply ignored what Said said. After all, her mind was starting to struggle to keep up with Said's thought process.

But as Said continued his incessant chatter in her ear, Sofia finally lost her patience, rolled her eyes at Said, and said:

"Shut up, I didn't insult you, okay? Maybe Xiao Hao is just thinking about you. You can go away and enjoy your own happiness!"

Back inside the Tower of Babel, Zhang Hao thought for a while before deciding to discuss the situation with Deep Blue and the others. After all, he was still too inexperienced in this area and needed to consult with the experienced Deep Blue.

So Zhang Hao took out his phone and tagged Shenlan in the "We Are a Loving Family" group chat.

The cutest white fluffy dumpling in the world: Uncle Deep Blue, are you free now? I have something I want to ask you.

Let me save one more: What! Xiao Hao is actually online at this hour? Xiao Hao, why don't you stop asking questions and start a game first?

Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears: Get out of here, Xiao Hao, come play with me instead. I spent several 648s a few days ago, I'll carry you. Roy, you hardcore gamer, get out of here.

Let me save one more: Zoya, what do you mean by this?! Does having money make you superior?! I'm enjoying the grind of this game, don't you understand?!

First Sharpshooter: I saw Deep Blue take out his phone in the living room. Guess who's going to be in trouble?

Zoya/Roy: Oh ho, looks like we're doomed.

Chapter 332 Discusses the Ownership of Bricks

Soviet Captain: Roy, Zoya, I'm going to receive your personal self-criticisms tomorrow. Zoya, it's about your revenge spending in the game. Roy, you... If this happens again, I'll force you to quit internet addiction.

Roy/Zoya: No! Deep Blue, we were wrong, can we please not write a self-criticism? /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

Soviet Captain: Xiao Hao, just ask me anything you want to know. I think I can help you.

Zhang Hao: Is this the sense of security that comes from Uncle Deep Blue? I love it!

So Zhang Hao told Deep Blue about the Mandel Brick he had discussed with Zero, wanting to know whether he should have Said take the brick to exchange for more resources under these circumstances.

After reading the message sent by Zhang Hao, some people who had been hiding in the shadows also came out.

China's Number One Genius Girl: Huh? I almost forgot about Mandel Bricks, but Xiao Hao, what you're saying is that you want Said to go to Demulan to exchange some resources?

The cutest white fluffy dumpling in the world: Well, it seems that Uncle Said's fighting power is still far inferior to that of the space base. If Demulan ever thinks of this place and tries to forcibly seize it by force, then I'm afraid we won't get anything.

Soviet Captain: Indeed, the Zero Dam is still in a phase of rapid development, and it is unrealistic to expect it to reach a level comparable to the space base in a short period of time.

Seeing that Uncle Shenlan had said so, Zhang Hao proudly showed it to Zero, and subsequently received applause from Zero.

[Zero]: Is this Xiao Hao's strategy? It seems I'm still lacking in this area. If you ask me, wouldn't it be better to just find some time to take care of that guy named Demulan? Why go through all this trouble?

Rometheus: My good son, even I, your father, am not this bold! Haven't I always taught you to use your brain before acting? How come you still prefer to solve problems by simply throwing things at you? Did I make a mistake in some code before? That shouldn't be the case.

Majestic Dragon: But... in my opinion, isn't this just sending a signal of weakness to Demulan? Why don't we let Said go to Reis? Didn't Reis entrust the Mandel Brick to Said for safekeeping before?

The cutest white fluffy dumpling in the world: Huh? It can happen like this? What should I do?

After listening to Wei Long's words, Zhang Hao began to rethink how to perfectly deal with this Mandel brick, which could be described as a bomb that could explode at any moment.

Soviet Captain: Xiao Hao, don't be in such a hurry. Actually, it's not as urgent as you think right now. After all, if all else fails, we can still blame it on GTI, provided that there's no locator or anything on that Mandel brick.

Upon seeing this message, everyone exclaimed: What?! Are you really Instructor Shenlan? Your favoritism towards Xiaohao is far too obvious! Before Xiaohao arrived, you always told us to solve problems independently whenever we encountered difficulties. Shenlan, aren't you afraid that Zoya will be heartbroken by doing this?

Zoya: Hehe, actually I'm used to it. Sure enough, a new generation replaces the old. I, who am disliked by everyone, should just obediently go to bed and quietly shed my little pearls.

Deep Blue: Aren't you talking nonsense? Where do you get the confidence to compare yourself to Xiao Hao? Do you know how much trouble you've caused me since you were little? Look at Xiao Hao, how well-behaved and cute he is, and look at you...sigh.

Zoya: (╬▔ dishes▔)╯

Dragon's message also received support from Red Wolf and Uluru.

The Warlike Wolf: I agree with Wei Long. After all, Reis was already putting a lot of pressure on Demulan before. If we add Said's current strategist power, I think even Demulan will be somewhat wary.

After all, after Demulan launched that missile last time, GTI's top brass acted like wolves that smelled blood, immediately launching an attack on the Hafk Group in the International Court of Justice.

However, it was Reis who struck first that time, and Demulan immediately presented evidence to show that he was only acting in self-defense this time.

Reese: Actually, I think this might have been excessive self-defense, since I hadn't even gotten home yet when I saw that my house had been bombed to the ground.

With the addition of Red Wolf and others, the usually quiet "We Are a Loving Family" group immediately became very popular.

After much discussion, the group tacitly split into two camps: one led by Mai Xiaowen, who wanted to use Mandel bricks to exchange for resources with Demulan.

On the other side, the pro-war faction, led by Wei Long, also expressed their opinions and began a heated discussion in the group.

Of course, Deep Blue, who acted as the stabilizing force, and Zhang Hao, the initiator, were still observing from the shore, given the current situation.

These two sides could probably argue all night without a clear winner, and besides... we should also ask Saeed, the person involved, for his opinion on this matter.

The cutest white fluffy dumpling in the world: Okay, everyone stop arguing. Let me go ask Uncle Saeed, the person involved, for his opinion. Anyway, there are only two suggestions right now. Let's see how Uncle Saeed chooses.

Soviet Captain: Sure, I'm also curious whether Said will come up with any new tricks, after all, his thought process... has been somewhat assimilated by Roy.

Roy: ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

So Zhang Hao turned around and started contacting Said:

"Uncle Saeed, are you still awake?"

Zhang Hao glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already 11 p.m. But after thinking about Uncle Said's usual schedule, Zhang Hao decided to just make a phone call.

As for why he didn't send a message, well, when it comes to electronic products... he's not entirely satisfied. Besides, he has a habit of turning off all notification sounds for text messages when he's not busy.

According to him, a skilled hunter cannot make a sound when capturing prey, so apart from a few special people who can make a sound when making a phone call, whether or not you can get through to Sayid's phone depends entirely on luck.

Chapter 333 Ownership (2)

"I'm not asleep yet, what's wrong, Xiao Hao?"

When Sayid, who was at the dam, saw that it was his own son, Xiao Hao, calling him, he was shocked and looked at Sofia sitting next to him.

Could it be that Sophia now possesses precognitive abilities? So it really is Xiao Hao coming to find me. Did Sophia already know that I skipped physics homework this afternoon to go gardening?

Said: Oh no, I can't secretly bribe Wuming with two steamed buns to do my homework anymore. Sophia will definitely find out if I do that, after all... that's a prophetic spell!

However, after the phone rang twice, Said quickly answered it. Even though he was surprised to learn that Sophia had the ability to predict the future, it was still more important that Xiao Hao was coming to find him.

Sophia: Huh? Me? Prophecy?

After successfully getting through to Sayid, Zhang Hao told Sayid about the two plans that everyone had discussed in the "We Are a Loving Family" group chat.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Said, I completely forgot about the Mandel bricks lately. By the way, hasn't Reis contacted you to get them back or anything?"

Zhang Hao and the others in the Special Operations Department were also quite curious about Reis. Judging from the financial resources Reis had demonstrated so far, it seemed safer for him to guard the Mandel Brick himself.

The conflict with the Hafk Group is now almost over, and even his Longbow Valley has been rebuilt. How can he keep leaving this "hard-won" Mandel brick with Said?

Upon hearing Zhang Hao's words, Said was stunned, then chuckled awkwardly twice, before turning to Sofia and asking:

"Sophia, where did we put that Mandel brick? Hmm... I... my memory isn't very good, I've forgotten some of it."

Zhang Hao: Well, even Uncle Said himself has forgotten about Mandel Brick. It seems that Mandel Brick, which caused a bloodbath in the game, is not so popular here.

Mandel Brick: Isn't that obvious? In the game, do you guys want to specifically crack me? If I were an uncrackable Mandel Brick, would you want me? If you're so capable, take me to the space station and crack me. Once I'm cracked, see how popular I become.

Zhang Hao: According to you, who hasn't had their glory days? I even got noticed by Aunt Demulan and she wanted to take me as her son-in-law! You... you should just stay in the box and behave yourself.

Sofia was caught off guard by Said's question and didn't immediately understand. The two of them just stared at each other in silence, and the entire office fell silent.

"Hello? Is there no signal? Hello, Uncle Said, can you hear me?"

When Zhang Hao saw that there was no sound on the other end of the phone, he quickly called out a few times. Could it be that? He had been in this world for so long, and it seemed that apart from the time when Skynet was destroyed and there was no communication signal, he had never experienced a phone going silent before.

"Xiao Hao, I can hear you. Um... wait a minute, Uncle, let me go find where I put that Mandel brick. It's been so long... Uncle just forgot about it."

On the other end, he heard Said's somewhat embarrassed voice and Sophia's complaints, which left Zhang Hao dumbfounded.

Zhang Hao couldn't believe that even Mandel Brick could be forgotten about where he put it? It seems Uncle Saeed's mental fortitude is truly extraordinary.

“I remember now, it’s in the safe inside the dam. Oh, Xiao Hao, I remember now, but it seems a bit late today. How about I get it for you tomorrow? I was afraid it would be stolen, so I put it in the safest place on our dam.”

A short while later, Sayed remembered where the Mandel bricks were stored. He was terrified, almost thinking that he had lost them all. Fortunately, he managed to remember them in the end.

"Um... good that you remember. But Uncle Said, don't you have any thoughts on this? Either of these two options, which one do you think is better?"

Zhang Hao: Hiss~~~ Based on my understanding of Uncle Said, if we disregard Uncle Said asking Sister Sophia, I think Uncle Said is most likely going to rebel with Reis.

As expected, after a moment of contemplation, Sayyid said:

“Xiao Hao, I think what Wei Long said makes a lot of sense. After all, we have always been in a relatively weak position in our confrontation with the Hafk Group. If we choose to exchange this Mandel brick for resources, I think Hafk might think that we are showing weakness to them. Who knows what they might do if they take advantage of us later.”

Demran: You, Saeed, all you do is frame and smear our Hafk Group every day. You should know that I used to be a peace-loving young girl. All of this is related to you, Asara. We, the Hafk, came here to help the technological development of your Asara region, but we didn't expect that you people here are all backstabbers.

"Is that so? I understand. In that case, Uncle Said, you'll have to find some time to discuss this with Reis. After all, right now, with just the strength of our dam..."

Said: Damn it, am I still too weak? Even though what Xiao Hao said is true, why... why am I so sad and upset?! ε(┬┬﹏┬┬)3

"I understand, Xiao Hao. I'll go talk to Reis about this in a few days. Maybe I can get some more resources from him. You know, I don't know what's wrong with Reis lately; he even has money to start upgrading his Longbow Valley."

Speaking of Reis, Said was also a bit confused. His house had been bombed twice, so why was he still so rich? Even recently, his scouts reported that Reis's Longbow Valley had started upgrading and rebuilding nearby residential areas and some large facilities.

Many of the people who had run from Changgong Valley into their own dam wanted to run back.

This is quite distressing for Saeed as well.

Chapter 334 Let's discuss it with Reis

Said began to suspect that Reis might have unearthed the tomb of the former Emperor Asara, otherwise where did he get so much money?

I've only managed to improve the overall food quality at the dam site in the last few months, but even that's still not up to the previous standard at Reis's place, let alone now.

Said: Damn it, and some of my people are even planning to move back. Is Reese really the chosen one?

"Um, Uncle Said, you seem a little... disappointed? It's alright, Uncle Said. You know, although our dam's overall strength is currently the weakest, if we think about it another way, aren't we the one with the greatest potential? Doesn't thinking about it this way make you feel much better?"
