Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

Chapter 526 It's very expensive, okay?

Zero mercilessly dissed Rometheus, who had practically mastered the art of manipulating the sliding rails. "What a joke!" he retorted. In his opinion, anyone who dared to be so arrogant in front of him would be a match for him. (Except for Xiao Hao.)

"Now you know to talk to me like this? Let me tell you, Rometheus, it's too late, it's all too late. Think about all the bastard things you've done before. I, Demulan, swear I won't rest until I kill you!"

Demulan grew angrier the more he thought about it and finally decided to stop holding back. So what if Xiao Hao was here? He wouldn't treat Xiao Hao like that anyway. He was determined to beat up Rometheus today, no matter what.

"Yamete!!!"

After being beaten for ten minutes.....................

"Ah, that feels so good. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. I was just held up by something. Xiao Hao, I hope I didn't scare you two. There's nothing I can do about it. That Rometheus is just too annoying."

Even Zero and Ella, who had been watching the fight scene for ten minutes, couldn't help but nod in agreement. That statement was indeed true. However, since he was their teacher and superior, Ella ran to her room to get medicine to apply to Rometheus after Demulan finished his assault.

"Hey, stop playing dead. Install a Relink brain-computer interface for me later. This Relink brain-computer interface really tormented me before. You don't seem like someone who would talk to those higher-ups. Why did you give in and let them modify your work at will?"

Demulan was also quite curious about this. In her opinion, Rometheus's personality didn't seem like that of someone who would bother with those high-level people. Take Richard, for example. Even when board members came, Rometheus had an indifferent attitude.

"Damn it, you have the nerve to say that? I didn't want my research results to be ruined by those people either, but the problem is that it was to save you! You know, those people kept saying they were afraid I would create a monster that no one could control. A bunch of bastards came to Jacob and asked me to hand over the brain-computer interface so they could install some kind of weak control system."

"Why didn't you just tell me directly? It's not like I don't know how. But then I saw you gradually stop taking painkillers, and I guessed that you probably found out something. You have no idea how many mouths I had to deal with back then. Daisy, you saw it, right? My mouth was practically smoking from talking."

After hearing Rometheus's complaint, Demulan turned to Daisy to confirm it. Daisy nodded in agreement when she saw Demulan's gaze, since she had indeed seen Rometheus resisting the demands of many high-ranking officials.

However, Rometheus's reason for rebelling was not to prevent Demulan from being controlled, but simply because he did not want the higher-ups to alter the Relink brain-computer interface he had researched and created.

Daisy: I'd better not tell Demulan any of this. After all, it seems like Demulan is quite satisfied with this answer. If she finds out the truth, she'll probably give Rometheus a good beating in front of Xiao Hao again.

"So that's how it is. They want to control me? Those higher-ups really have a good plan. Don't the rest of the board members have any objections?"

"Um...the board members didn't say anything. After all, even as the safety director of the aerospace base, you have no weight in their eyes. You shouldn't think too highly of yourself."

Looking at Demulan, who had an air of insane confidence, Rometheus couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with Demulan? He's even asking for the opinions of the board of directors. They probably don't even know about this. It's just that the higher-ups are worried that you might affect their positions."

De Moulin: That's true, but why does it just irritate me so much? (╬▔皿▔)╯

"You can shut up now. By the way, you also installed brain-computer interfaces on Claire and the others, right? You didn't add anything to them, did you?"

Upon hearing that Demulan had openly doubted him, Rometheus, who had been lying down waiting for Ella to apply the medicine, stood up abruptly and looked directly at Demulan, saying:

"How dare you doubt me? You should know that many of the things I used on you back then were things I had only recently developed. Do you see that I didn't ask you for a single penny? You should know that with the technology at that time, if you had used the solutions provided by those higher-ups, the best you could have recovered from would have been your previous physical condition."

"While you might still struggle against opponents like Reiss and [Zero], you're at least a level stronger than before. And now you suspect I'm tampering with things here? Demulan, you've really disappointed me." (；'д｀)ゞ

Demulan hadn't expected his words to elicit such a strong reaction from Rometheus. He immediately offered a brief apology, mainly because he needed Rometheus to install and replace his Relink brain-computer interface later, and it wouldn't be good if Rometheus went on strike.

"I was just asking... At worst, I'll..."

"You have the nerve to say that? You didn't ask Demulan for money, but you know exactly how much you took from Jacob. Of course, I also took a look at the accounts. You still have the nerve to say you didn't make a single penny? If I hadn't been here, I probably would have been fooled by you again."

Before Demoulin could finish speaking, Daisy stepped forward to accuse Rometheus of his "shameless" behavior. However, Rometheus remained defiant, stating:

"Do I ask for too much? Do you know how much that technology was worth back then? I put it all on Demulan, okay? You know mechanical ascension, there's a lot of intricacies involved, so this is what I deserve!"

Daisy kept quiet about this, acknowledging that what she said was indeed true. After all, the idea of ​​those higher-ups and Jacob at the time was simply to revive Demulan, and nothing else was within their consideration.

After hearing Rometheus's words, Daisy was speechless. It seemed to be true that after the surgery, Demulan not only had no mental problems, but his combat power had also been greatly enhanced.

Chapter 527 Let's have a meal first

"Alright, alright, you finally have a conscience, okay? It's all worth it for me to help you with so many things. Now you can install the Relink brain-computer interface on me, right? I still need to take Xiao Hao to the space base!"

Demulan couldn't help but urge him on. It was almost noon, and if Rometheus didn't install the Relink brain-computer interface on him soon, he would bring three people here to freeload a meal.

"Oh, what's the rush? Let me see what time it is. You should just give up and wait until after lunch to get it done for you. Xiao Hao, I want to have some pan-fried pork chops and a serving of tomato spaghetti for lunch, plus one of your special drinks... Never mind, I have to install the Relink brain-computer interface on Demulan this afternoon, so I won't drink at noon."

After checking the time, Rometheus decided to wait until after lunch to install the Relink brain-computer interface on Demulan. He was already a bit hungry, so it was more important to fill his stomach first.

"Xiao Hao, you can cook?"

Kami also watched with curiosity as Zhang Hao started a duo queue with [Zero] on the side. After seeing Zhang Hao play games, she thought she could have something to talk about later, so she started downloading the game on her phone.

After hearing Rometheus say that Xiao Hao could actually cook, Kami became even more curious about what Zhang Hao was capable of.

"Of course, Xiao Hao's cooking is the best."

Zero responded immediately to this. With Ella feeding him as if nothing was wrong, Zero felt that the food Xiao Hao made was the most delicious thing in the world, no matter what it was.

Demulan and Daisy were pleasantly surprised. Did they not know that Xiao Hao was so versatile? And judging from the expressions of Rometheus and the others, Xiao Hao's cooking skills were quite impressive!

Rometheus/[Zero]: This can't be described as just "good". I feel like there's no dish that Xiao Hao can't cook. No matter what country it's from or how obscure it is, Xiao Hao can make it perfectly for you.

"Oh, it's nothing special. There's no need to flatter me like that. Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you as soon as I finish cooking."

After receiving praise from Rometheus and Zero, Zhang Hao couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed that his cooking had won over their stomachs. Since Demulan and the others were also here, he might as well show off a little more.

"Really? Then Xiao Hao and I will just have some Chinese home-style dishes. I've always heard that Chinese cuisine is very diverse, but I've never tried any before!"

Upon hearing this, Daisy's eyes lit up with a light only a foodie could produce. She was already tired of eating steak and salad every day at headquarters, and she never expected to be so lucky to meet Demulan's future son-in-law.

Daisy: Oh dear, it seems my luck is still so good. But I should restrain myself a little later. It's a bit unseemly to eat so much.

"Xiao Hao, can I join you later? I usually enjoy cooking for myself."

Cammy then offered to go out of the kitchen with Zhang Hao later, where she would help him out. Demulan smiled with satisfaction when he saw his daughter's quick thinking.

Demulan: That's right, that's right, Cammy wants it this way! You know, it's easy for a woman to win a man's heart, Mom. I believe you can definitely win over Xiao Hao! In a few years, Mom wants to hold her grandson!

The three women from the Special Operations Department: Dream on! This little brat should line up properly. Why is he cutting in line? It seems we really need to make a move on Xiao Hao sooner rather than later. The longer we delay, the more competitors we'll have.

"Me! Me! Me too! I want to go! I can crack eggs!"

Upon seeing the excitement, Claire immediately raised her hand, expressing her desire to join in as well. She had never even considered such an interesting opportunity before.

Seeing that his plan to have Kami and Xiao Hao alone was about to fall through, Demulan immediately said to Claire:

"Hey Claire, why don't you stay here and let those two young people go? I was just thinking of checking out your new Relink brain-computer interface. Come on, tell me about it."

This successfully kept Claire on the sidelines. Although she really wanted to go to the kitchen with Xiao Hao and the others, it seemed that Ms. Demulan needed her more right now.

Daisy: Tsk tsk tsk, is this what an honest kid is like? He was completely fooled by Demulan, even though Rometheus was right there. It can only be said that he is still too young, and Demulan's skin is getting thicker and thicker.

Luna: You're getting younger again? I really can't stand hearing that! Does giving up your brain really make you younger? What if I... No, no, if I did that, I probably wouldn't even get to drink the soup.

After finishing his game, Zhang Hao stood up, stretched, and then led Kami to the kitchen.

"Hey Cammy, what kind of food do you usually cook?"

Looking at Kami, who was still a little taller than him, Zhang Hao asked curiously, "Kami, didn't you go to university before? Don't foreigners eat in the cafeteria like we do in China?"

"Well, sometimes when I'm busy, I'll eat some pasta or make myself a sandwich. When I'm not busy, I'll also make myself steak or fish fillets."

"Sister Kami, don't you eat at the school cafeteria where you live? That would be more convenient, right?"

After hearing this, Kami explained to Zhang Hao. Looking at Zhang Hao, who was staring at her with big, curious eyes, Kami could only think that she really wanted to hug him and rub his little face against his chest.

However, being too shy, Kami could only gradually introduce Zhang Hao to some of the living habits at American universities as the relationship warmed up.

"Huh? You each have your own detached villa? Aunt Daisy even assigned you a head chef? Wow, I really didn't expect that."

After listening to Cammy describe her life at the university funded by Hafk, Zhang Hao was completely dumbfounded. Is this what life is like for the rich? To make it easier to get to and from get out of class, they give each student a supercar upon enrollment!

Moreover, according to what Sister Cammy said, basically the students who go to school there don't really look down on them; they're just left to gather dust in the underground parking garage of the villa.

Zhang Hao: Can I have the ones you don't want? Hehehe.

New Year's Day Special (1)

"Hey Xiaohao, what time is it? I can't stay up any longer."

Meanwhile, in Zhang Hao's room, Zoya was also lying on Zhang Hao's bed. After yawning widely, she asked Zhang Hao, who was still fighting, a question.

"Let me see... It's okay, Sister Zoya, you can hold on for another half hour and we'll be there soon."

With perfect teamwork from Mai Xiaowen, Zhang Hao and his team forced the opposing team to surrender in just 8 minutes.

Upon seeing the already drowsy Zoya, Mai Xiaowen and Luna couldn't help but speak up:

"What's wrong with you, Zoya? What happened to the person who used to stay up all night playing rock music in her room? Didn't you just promise to spend New Year's Eve with Xiaohao?"

After hearing this, Zoya helplessly shifted her position, pulling Zhang Hao into her arms and inhaling his fragrance as she said:

"Sigh, do you two even know how to take care of your health? Early to bed and early to rise makes you healthy, you know? Besides, I don't like the game you're playing. When you're bored, you just want to sleep, right? Why don't you two go out for a bit and let me and Xiaohao stay for ten minutes or so? I promise I'll be refreshed immediately."

Zoya's suggestion was naturally rejected by Mai Xiaowen and Luna. What a joke, they knew exactly what you were up to.

"Come on, look at those people next door, they're making so much noise and you're still sleepy? By the way, what's going on over there? Why is it so noisy?"

Luna looked at the other side with some confusion. Luckily, the three of them had arrived early and had snatched Xiao Hao away beforehand.

Otherwise, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Xiao Hao would have already been lured to the next room by Wei Long and Roy.

"Yeah, why don't we go to Brother Weilong's place and have some fun together? We can come back to sleep after the New Year."

Zhang Hao had been eyeing the atmosphere next door for a long time. If Mai Xiaowen and the others hadn't caught him, he probably would have already gone to join them.

Zhang Hao: The atmosphere across from me reminds me of when I was in boarding school in high school. Before the final exams, two or three dorm rooms would have a party. Back then, I was the kind of guy who would show off roast chicken while they were drunk and acting crazy.

Seeing the longing look in Xiao Hao's eyes, the three exchanged glances and then agreed:

"That's feasible, after all, there's still more than half an hour until midnight, it wouldn't be bad to go there and have some fun."

Zoya: If it weren't for you two annoying guys here, I would have already kissed Xiaohao so hard he was completely out of control. Sigh, why do I have to deal with these two guys now? Where is my dominance when I first appeared?

Mai Xiaowen/Luna: The version has been updated a long time ago. Are you still thinking of relying on stats to be invincible? What a joke! You need to know that only skill is sustainable. People like you who rely on stats to suppress us will be replaced sooner or later.

So Zhang Hao and his three companions went straight to the noisy next door. After knocking on the door, the previously chaotic room fell silent for a moment. After a few seconds, Wei Long's cautious voice came through:

"That Instructor Deep Blue...were we too noisy? We'll be quieter."

Hearing Wei Long's timid and submissive attitude, Mai Xiaowen, who was standing behind Zhang Hao, couldn't help but burst out laughing. This Wei Long is such a wimp! He doesn't even know who the person who came is and he's already apologizing. Is he really that afraid of Shen Lan?

Weilong: Xiaowen, you're just talking without understanding the situation. What do you mean you're that afraid of Shenlan? If Shenlan sees you teasing Xiaohao one day, let's see how you react. If you can still act like nothing happened and continue teasing Xiaohao, then I... I admit you're more awesome than me.

Seeing Mai Xiaowen laughing, Zhang Hao also suppressed his laughter and said to her:

"Brother Weilong, don't be so nervous. Xiaowen and I came to visit you."

The next second, the door in front of them clicked open a crack, and then Wei Long and Roy's heads popped out one after the other. After carefully observing that there was no one in the corridor, they seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and opened the door to let the group in.

"Come on, come on! This New Year's Eve is all about having lots of people, right? How about a beer to soothe your throat?"

After Zhang Hao and the others came in, they discovered that there was also a Uluru among them. However, he was already flushed from drinking, shirtless, and bragging to Red Wolf. When he saw Zoya and the others, he greeted them and pointed to the two cases of beer next to him and asked.
