Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

Zoya: Damn, I've never seen Old Deng so gentle before. When I was little... sigh, it's all tears! But thinking about it, if Xiao Hao were standing in front of me, I guess no one would have the heart to say anything to him.
Meanwhile, in Luna's room, Zhang Hao was once again treated like a kitten, placed on the bed and petted by Luna.
"Xiao Hao, I really don't know what's wrong with you. You smell so good every day! The only downside is that there's a hint of Mai Xiaowen and Zoya's scent in your mouth. Did they bully you last night?"
Luna nestled against Zhang Hao, sniffing him gently, and asked:
"Hmm~~~ No, Sister Zoya and Sister Xiaowen just cuddled me while I slept. Why didn't you come last night, Sister Luna? Were you being ostracized?"
Luna scoffed dismissively.
"Hmph, those are just two weaklings' fear of me, the king. Xiao Hao, think about it, the fact that the two of them teamed up to resist me only proves my strength, doesn't it?"
Zhang Hao could only agree with these three women, who were all starting to develop into "masters of verbal sparring," because if he exposed them, his kidneys would be attacked the next second.
"Come on, Xiao Hao, the pajamas you left here don't smell anymore. You've just finished lunch, so I've prepared a new pair of pajamas for you. Come on, put them on and sleep with me."
As Luna spoke, she took out another set of fluffy pajamas from the wardrobe and placed them in front of Zhang Hao, looking at him expectantly.
Zhang Hao: I......................I knew it.
Chapter 480 This is the staff dormitory
"You're the Little Li Claire was talking about, right? Hmm... You can rest here for a few days. In a few days, I'll have Mary prepare an entry test for you. If everything goes smoothly, you can officially start working as Mary's assistant next week."
Inside the space base, Xiao Li followed Mary to Demulan's office and saw him up close. Demulan was a legendary figure who had survived a near-facial explosion, was among the first to undergo Relink brain-computer interface experiments, and successfully became the Hafk Group's leader in the Asara region.
"Yes, Ms. Demruyn, I...................I will definitely prepare well!"
After hearing what Demulan said, Xiao Li changed her usual dejected image and immediately became Demulan's number two fangirl. Mary, who saw this, nodded with satisfaction. It seems that her future assistant has a pretty good eye for talent.
Mary: Not bad, not bad. Even though he was framed by villains and imprisoned in Tide Prison for two years, his judgment is still so sharp. No wonder Claire always told us how good this Li was.
"Okay, you should go and get some rest. Here's my contact information. I'll let you know when there's an assessment."
After exchanging contact information with Mary, Xiao Li walked excitedly towards the dormitory building. Had he been assigned such an important position as soon as he arrived? He definitely had to make a good impression.
"By the way, I haven't checked which room I have yet. Let me see how far it is from Claire's dorm."
At this moment, Xiao Li realized that he hadn't had a chance to see where his room was. He then took out the room key that Mary had given him earlier, and then took out his phone to look at the room that Claire had told him about.
"Hmm? Right next to Claire's...?"
However, when Xiao Li learned that he had been assigned to the room next to Claire's, he did not show a happy expression. Instead, he sighed heavily towards the sky.
"It seems that my peaceful life is gone forever."
Xiao Li couldn't help but recall the time when she and Claire were still in Tide Prison, when that boundless guy almost took over her entire room.
If Xiao Li hadn't forced her to take her blanket back, she believed Claire would have actually moved her bed from her room to her room the next day.
Claire: This is a real social terrorist. Now that I've been assigned to the room next to hers... I hope she doesn't just kick down the door and barge into my room when she has nothing to do.
As for the luggage she had brought, Mary sent soldiers to put it all back in the room. Xiao Li went straight into the dormitory building and found her room on the second floor.
"Wow, is this the staff dormitory at the space base? The environment is much better than Bakshi. Compared to Tidal Prison... this is truly paradise!"
Looking at the well-equipped and spacious room in front of him, Xiao Li was briefly surprised before starting to pack his luggage. Although he had prepared bedding and other items, it would still take him a while to arrange all his things.
"Hey?! Little Li, you're back! I knew I heard someone coming upstairs from my room, it really is you! Are you getting ready to tidy up your room? Well then, let the selfless Claire help you!"
The moment Xiao Li opened the suitcase in front of him, Claire's voice came from the doorway, and the next moment, Claire appeared in front of Xiao Li, smiling as she spoke.
"Okay, could you help me organize the books and clothes in that suitcase? I knew you wouldn't stay in your room properly. By the way, shouldn't you be taking better care of your leg? Why are you walking around here?"
Xiao Li pointed to the box and bag on the other side. Claire went over and opened them, starting to arrange the books and other items from the box on the desk, and hanging the clothes from the bag on hangers in the wardrobe.
"Oh, what's this? You all love to fuss over nothing. You and Mary, look at Ms. Demulan, she has never said anything to me. Do you know how amazing my physique is? This is just a minor injury, nothing serious."
Claire couldn't help but start complaining to Li, making her promise that she would never become like Mary, otherwise she'd have two people constantly nagging her, and Claire would have nowhere to cry.
Claire: Just thinking about that feeling is despairing. Mary and Little Li are with the Hafk Group, and even if I escape to the Secret Service, Luna is still waiting to scold me. Of course, having Little Hao to balance things out makes it bearable. Hmm... it seems like it's time to bring up the GTI thing.
After the two of them had been busy for about half an hour, they had finished packing everything up. Looking at Claire's bandaged leg, Xiao Li advised her:
"Alright, Claire, I can handle the rest myself. You should go back and rest first. I need to get some rest too after I finish tidying up. I have an assessment in a few days, and I need to be well-rested to prepare properly."
Claire nodded in agreement, and after stretching, she said to Little Li:
"Is there still an assessment? It should be easy for you, I believe in you. I'm going back to get some sleep now. I've been sleeping in the infirmary for the past few days, which has made me a bit sleepless. I'll take a shower and go to bed after I get back. I'll come find you again when we have dinner tonight!"
As Claire spoke, she walked towards the door, waving to Li as she did so, indicating that she would begin special training in a few days once her leg was healed.
Chapter 481 Roy became withdrawn?
Dam No. 0
"Ugh, I'm so bored. Ever since I graduated from high school, I haven't had to do those headache-inducing problems anymore, but why... now that I'm free, do I feel so empty inside?"
Said was sitting "alone" on the top of the dam, looking down at the dam that was developing better and better, and the dam top that was constantly expanding and being built. He couldn't help but sigh.
"You're bored? If you're so bored, why don't you come and help?! You didn't sleep at all this morning and dragged me out of my room to work as a farmhand, and you just sit down and start sighing, huh? You're really not human!"
Meanwhile, Wuming, who was working like a slave, couldn't help but say when he heard this "cheapskate" actually have the nerve to sit here and sigh. If he had known that running to this place with Said would lead to this situation, he would have been better off staying in the Special Operations Department. At least there, no one would drag him out of bed to work before dawn.
Rometheus: See, see! I told you before, you'll regret not listening to your elders, child! You're still too young! (●'?'●)
"You just wait, Said. I'm going to tell Sofia on you in a minute, and you'll be punished!"
However, to Wuming's surprise, this time he didn't see any panic on Said's face. On the contrary, he seemed a little excited.
Anonymous: I knew none of the people I follow are normal. This Said has evolved into a masochist, hasn't he? Before, when I made him do homework every day, he was crying and begging for help. Now that there are no more homework, he's even looking forward to it, isn't he?
Just then, Sayed's phone rang in his pocket. Sayed took it out and saw that it was Xiao Hao calling him, so he answered it immediately.
"Hey! Xiao Hao, what's up? What?! You're planning to bring Roy over to relax? Him? Roy? Relax? You're saying he's withdrawn? Are these really the characters I recognize? Why are they all put together? I can't understand them at all!"
Upon hearing that Zhang Hao and Wei Long planned to bring Roy over to relax and alleviate Roy's autism, Said was completely dumbfounded. Was that even a coherent sentence? How could Roy be associated with autism?
"Um..........................This is a bit complicated. I'll explain it to you when I get here. Oh, right, Uncle Said, Roy just said he wants to eat braised pork for lunch. Wait a minute! Roy, aren't you still withdrawn? Why are you thinking about braised pork? You're not planning to go to Uncle Said's place to freeload, are you?"
After hanging up the phone, Said silently looked at Wuming, who immediately tensed up, jumped back, and assumed a defensive stance before saying:
"What are you looking at? Picking up Zhang Hao was clearly your task, okay? Why are you looking at me? I don't even know them... Except for Xiao Hao, especially that yellow-haired one, that's Roy, right? I hate him the most, and the second most annoying one is that buzz cut guy. Those two guys are too scum."
Upon hearing this, Said couldn't help himself and started convulsing right in front of Wuming. Wuming was dumbfounded when he saw Said suddenly convulsing in front of him. What was this guy doing? Why did he suddenly start convulsing?
"It's okay, but in that case......................then you definitely have to come with me! Come on, what are you standing here for? Come with me to pick up those blond guys and buzz-cut guys you hate the most, hahaha!"
Said snatched the hoe from Wuming's hand, threw it aside, and pulled Wuming along to wait for Zhang Hao and the others to arrive.
"No! Why are you pulling me? Can't you just call me Abel? Didn't I tell you I dislike those two people?!"
Since Nameless was no match for Said in terms of strength, he was eventually dragged to the door by Nameless.
“Abel is going to make braised pork. Are you going to go pick him up and you’re going to cook? Do you know how bad your cooking is? Even the dogs here who are starving wouldn’t eat it.”
"You...don't we have a chef here? You're just making excuses and making personal attacks on me, acting like your food is delicious!"
Looking at the nameless man who was furious in front of him, Said also curled the corners of his mouth under his mask. Yes, this was an excuse, and it was a personal attack, but he hadn't lied. The things that the nameless man made were really awful. When he saw the pie that the nameless man made, even he, who was always thrifty, told him to throw it away immediately.
Sayed: I didn't want to discourage the kid, and I planned to eat a bite to encourage him no matter how bad it tasted. But when I saw a lump of charcoal in front of me, I knew I had to waste food this time, and I would never let this guy into the kitchen again.
The two then arrived at the dam entrance and waited. During this time, Said called Sofia to let her know. After learning that Xiao Hao was also coming, Sofia immediately began to organize some recent dam-related documents.
Zhang Hao: Ah! Something's not right. Why is my work ethic suddenly burning? Wasn't I just here to let Roy out for some fresh air? Looks like I'll have to deal with something at the dam again.
Ten minutes later, the car driven by Wei Long appeared in front of Said and Wuming.
"Wow! It's rare to see you come to pick us up in person, Saeed. Come on, get in the car. We'll drive right up to the administration building for you."
Wei Long rolled down the car window, gesturing for the two to get in quickly. He hadn't been to the dam in a long time, and wondered if he should go and have a real man's fight with the crocodiles there.
After Sayed and Wuming got on the bus, they saw Zhang Hao and the protagonist of this incident—Roy.
Chapter 482 Xiao Hao, it's all up to you!
Looking at Roy's sorrowful and helpless face, Said turned away again and convulsed for a while before turning back to Roy and asking:
"Hey! What's wrong with our Roy again? Why does he look so gloomy? Come on, tell me what's going on."
Roy: Actually, you can laugh out loud. Even if you're wearing a mask right now, I can tell how much you're laughing through your old face underneath.
“Said........................Have you ever seen an Eastern demon? Do you know how terrifying it is when someone is possessed by a demon?”
Roy leaned back against the chair, looking dejected, and said sadly. Said and Wuming exchanged a glance, both of them looking bewildered. This guy really was just like Xiaohao said on the phone.
"Hey! Roy, you really are something else. You're such a grown man, and look at Xiao Hao and Wei Long, two genuine Chinese people. Do you think they would believe in such things as evil spirits? You, if you ask me, you're just scaring yourself."
As a fearless man, how could Said possibly believe in ghosts and monsters? From a young age, his father had told him that as long as he had a weapon, he was fearless, and even without a weapon, the thought of his fists made all evil spirits seem meaningless.
"Oh, Said, you don't know, yesterday Xiaohao, Xiaowen, and I spent the whole day trying to persuade him. To be honest, all he did was have a little bad luck while playing Monopoly, but he kept saying he was possessed. Sigh, I really don't know how to talk to him, even though everything went back to normal afterward."
"No! Weilong, you don't understand, you would never understand. Although my luck and everything have returned to normal now, it's probably because of the physical exorcism from Nuomi and Shenlan yesterday. But that brat... he must be hiding right now, and he'll definitely come back at some point!"
Hearing Roy say this, Zhang Hao and Wei Long shook their heads helplessly once again. It's really difficult to wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. Seeing this situation, Zhang Hao was speechless. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have just spent more points to increase his luck value.
"Next time, Brother Weilong, please don't take Roy to see those Hong Kong movies. Look at what he's become! Sigh, what can you do? How can he believe all that stuff in the movies?!"
Wei Long could only shake his head helplessly. The problem was that he hadn't just brought Roy to watch those Hong Kong movies; Red Wolf was right beside him too. But who knew that Roy would believe everything he said?
"Hey, it's okay, Roy. You have to think about my Xiao Hao. Think about it, besides studying, Xiao Hao is good at everything, just like me. When the time comes, we can let Xiao Hao learn how to exorcise you. Think about it, we're both from China, so it'll be a piece of cake for Xiao Hao to perform the ritual for you."
Said jokingly offered his suggestion, but to everyone's surprise (except Roy), this seemingly absurd joke immediately caught Roy's eye, making him look at Zhang Hao and say:
“Yes, Xiao Hao, with such pure Chinese blood, you can definitely get rid of the evil spirit on me completely. I thought about it, and yesterday Shen Lan used physical methods to briefly exorcise the evil spirit from me, precisely because he is not Chinese.”
Zhang Hao/Weilong/Said: This........................From this perspective of understanding, it can only be said that it's Roy who's right.
Looking at Roy's expectant face, Zhang Hao swallowed back the words that were about to come out. After exchanging a glance with Brother Weilong, he looked at Roy and nodded "solemnly".
"That's right, Roy, don't worry. As soon as I get back, I'll start learning how to exorcise evil spirits. So, feel free to have fun today, everything will be fine."
Now that they have a way to stabilize Roy's emotions, they naturally can't let it go. Zhang Hao and Wei Long decided to go back and create some special effects to fool Roy.
After all, it was Roy who kept scaring himself. He woke up this morning with a stiff neck, but he still insisted on bringing up supernatural things.
"Come on, let me take you to my fields. I'm sure you'll feel better after seeing the fruits, vegetables, and crops I grow. Oh, by the way, Xiao Hao, Sophia said she's compiled all the recent information and wants you to go over and give it to her for reference. But don't look at me, I really have no interest in this kind of thing! I'm off now."
Under Zhang Hao's astonished gaze, Said, the leader of the dam, immediately grabbed Roy and ran away. After a brief moment of thought, Wuming and Weilong also turned around and followed Said's footsteps, leaving Zhang Hao standing there dumbfounded.
"Xiao Hao, good luck! We're all roughnecks here, so you'll have a bit more work to do as the dam's strategist. Bye-bye!"
