Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

Five seconds later, Demulan grabbed Rometheus and Zero, one in each hand, and pulled them back, pinning them to the sofa. He warned them:

"You two stay right here, you're not allowed to go anywhere, understand? Can't you see Xiao Hao is still teaching my Cammy how to cook? What are you two trying to do over there?!"

Seeing Demulan's unwavering stance, Zero, unusually, refrained from arguing. Instead, he silently pointed at Rometheus and said:

"He's the one who wanted to drag me there. Go find him."

Demulan also glared at Rometheus with murderous intent, but Rometheus remained defiant, even taunting him:

"Why are you meddling in the affairs of young people? Let me tell you, Xiao Hao is very popular. Trying to make your Kami take shortcuts won't work. A momentary passion is nowhere near as good as the companionship that grows over time."

Upon hearing Rometheus's words, Desmoulins was silent for a moment, then grabbed Rometheus and stared at him intently, demanding:

"Very good, very good. Now you'd better give me a detailed and honest report on Xiao Hao's situation. What's the situation with GTI? How many people are still interested in Xiao Hao?"

"Heh, just give up. I promised Xiaohao I'd keep it a secret. How could I possibly let you know about something like this? Just give up on that idea."

Rometheus: The main problem is that I only know Zoya. Would I betray her? I know who hits harder. If Zoya finds out, she'll really beat me to death. This might not be a joke.

Just as the two were at an impasse, Kami came out carrying a large bowl of fried rice with eggs and called out:

"Xiao Hao said it's about time to start eating, he'll get some vegetables and come over!"

Seeing that his own Camille had also finished spending time alone with Xiao Hao, Demulan decided to let Rometheus off the hook for now. However, when he thought of the women in GTI who were also eyeing Zhang Hao, and looking at his own innocent and naive Camille, Demulan became worried.

Rometheus was right. Kami's biggest rivals were the women who were always by Zhang Hao's side. Demulan wasn't naive enough to think that those women would actually treat Zhang Hao like their younger brother.

It is said that women understand women best, and Demulan could imagine the "deep and hot" days that Xiao Hao had in the Special Operations Department.

"Wow, Xiao Hao, your cooking skills are amazing! This fried rice is so delicious, it tastes different from what you get in high-end restaurants. Although the food in those restaurants looks amazing and they say it's made by top Chinese chefs, I feel it can't compare to yours at all!"

After tasting Zhang Hao's fried rice, Daisy couldn't help but praise it, saying that the taste was amazing and she wanted to have a second bite after just one. Moreover, the large bowl in front of her looked extremely comforting.

Meanwhile, Rometheus had already skillfully filled his specially made large "basin" to the brim and was eating pork chop with one hand and fried rice with the other.

"Of course! Every time I come to Babel Tower, I look forward to Xiao Hao's cooking. Speaking of which, with so many people here, shouldn't we have a toast or something?"

After Claire took a pork chop from Rometheus, she said something that everyone agreed with. Then, she and Ella went to the kitchen refrigerator and took out Zhang Hao's favorite iced cola.

"Come on, let's raise a glass together, cheers!"

Zhang Hao: Hiss~~~ I think I've infiltrated Hafk's ranks directly, haven't I? Seriously, I'm on both Asara's and Hafk's sides, tsk tsk tsk, looks like I have quite the potential to be a spy!

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

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

Meanwhile, inside the Special Operations Department, since Zhang Hao was going to be taken to the space base for several days, the head chefs in the kitchen had changed to Wei Long and Luo Yi.

What? You're asking why Terry wasn't allowed to come? Well, the kind of healthy meals Terry eats aren't really appealing to normal people. So, with Veelong and Roy volunteering, the head chef position went to these two.

But seeing that the three women clearly had a poor appetite, Roy asked curiously:

"No, what are you three doing? This... is the food we made not good? I think it's already very good. Don't tell me you're missing Xiao Hao. It's only been a few minutes, and you're already like this?"

Mai Xiaowen also sighed and said:

"You don't understand, Xiao Hao has been taken to someone's space base, how can I have the appetite to eat? Ah!!! I really need to replenish Xiao Hao's energy right now."

Faced with Mai Xiaowen's sudden outburst, the other two women surprisingly refrained from arguing, because they shared the same sentiment.

"Tsk, why don't we just see if we can video chat with Xiaohao after we eat? What are you guys worrying about?!"

Chapter 530 Mai Xiaowen: My Xiao Hao!

However, Roy's words clearly had no effect. The three women still looked like the world was not worth living in. After all, even Xiao Hao was gone, and their energy was almost completely depleted.

"Hey, eat a couple of bites and go to sleep. The pillow is mine, and you two can divide the rest among yourselves."

After casually taking a couple of bites of Roy and Weilong's "masterpiece," Zoya got up and put the bowl back in the sink. She then mentioned that she had pre-ordered a pillow with Xiaohao's scent before going upstairs.

After sighing, Mai Xiaowen glanced at Luna, who was also sitting next to her and seemed uninterested, and asked:

"Hey, the pillow's already been taken. What about the blanket? I'll just sleep in Xiao Hao's room from now on."

However, Luna seemed to be thinking about something and ignored Mai Xiaowen, which made Mai Xiaowen even more curious. What was Luna thinking? She wasn't even very enthusiastic about taking Xiao Hao's bedding. There seemed to be something wrong with her.

"What are you thinking? You're not planning to go to the space base to find Xiao Hao, are you?"

Mai Xiaowen couldn't help but joke, but after she finished speaking, Luna turned around in surprise:

How did you know what I was thinking?!

Mai Xiaowen: Where's Shenlan? Where is Shenlan? Hurry up and refresh Shenlan at the Special Operations Department to wake this Luna up. She's got some nerve. Neither Zoya nor I dare to even think about it.

Mai Xiaowen quickly advised, "What is Luna thinking? How are you going to the space base by yourself? Do you really believe that Demulan is telling us GTI? That's just a lie to trick Xiao Hao into going there."

"What on your mind? Do you really think that old woman Demulan's daughter has taken a liking to you? The good thing is that Xiao Hao is coming back the day after tomorrow. If he had stayed there for a few more days, I would have taken Uluru to her space base to play with my little plane."

Mai Xiaowen felt a pang of pain when she thought about how that old woman's woman was now frantically trying to make her presence known to her son, Xiaohao. It was too agonizing; Xiaohao wouldn't be back for another two days.

“That’s true. I was thinking of contacting Claire, but then I realized she doesn’t have the authority to go to Xiao Hao’s place. Given Demulan’s personality, she’ll probably put Xiao Hao and her daughter in the same room.”

Upon hearing Luna's reasoning, Mai Xiaowen immediately put on a mask of pain, saying, "Okay, sister, stop talking. If you keep going, I'm really going to cry. How can you say such things with such a calm expression?"

Mai Xiaowen: I only regret that I can't invent a war mech, otherwise I would like to see who else dares to mess with my Xiao Hao. These people are really too terrifying. Why are they all targeting my Xiao Hao? Do they all want to commit crimes and go to jail?

Mai Xiaowen also turned her grief and anger into appetite. With a mournful face, she turned into a heartless eating machine, leaving Weilong and Luo Yi sitting opposite her stunned.

"Xiaowen... what happened to her?"

"I don't know. I guess Xiao Hao stopped giving her too much stimulation, and her brain's CPU is fried. It's okay, she's a computer expert after all, so repairing her own CPU shouldn't be a problem."

As soon as Roy finished speaking, he was hit by Mai Xiaowen's outstretched hand. This guy's mouth is as foul as ever. Next time, I should put the two of them in front of Demulan. That way, I can teach Demulan a lesson.

Demulan: Heh, that's useless. I've been tempered by Rometheus, and my mind is as hard as steel. Nothing can attack me now.

"I'll video call Xiaohao tonight, but you... you should probably just forget it. I'm afraid you'll break down if you see a strange woman next to Xiaohao."

Thinking of that scenario, Luna silently dismissed the dangerous idea. She decided to video chat with Xiao Hao instead, since she possessed an invincible mentality.

Luna: Sigh, I was hoping to coax Xiao Hao into relaxing a bit before Shenlan came back. Shenlan will probably be back in three days, or at least very soon. I guess I can't win against those two. After all, I'm the most rational one among them! (Looks proud)

Let's turn our attention back to the Tower of Babel. Having finished lunch and stretched a bit, Rometheus glanced at Demulan, who was sitting on the sofa talking to Zhang Hao with a "loving" expression, and urged him:

"Come on, come on. You were in such a hurry before, and now you're not in a hurry anymore? Go to the operating room and wait. Daisy, you come in with us and keep an eye on things. Don't blame me if Demulan has any problems later."

Daisy couldn't help but say after hearing this:

"Heh, Rometheus, you don't really think that if you just obediently install it for her, she won't come looking for you if something goes wrong later? You still have to cover after-sales service, bro!"

Upon hearing this, Demulan coughed awkwardly twice. How could Daisy tell so much truth in front of Xiao Hao? He should maintain his "kind" image in front of Xiao Hao.

"Ahem, don't worry about that. I'm still very reasonable. Rometheus, think about how you guys messed me up before. Did I ever blame you? So don't worry, I'm still a very kind-hearted and reasonable person."

After speaking, Demulan smiled at Zhang Hao, who was standing to the side. He regretted it after being angered by Rometheus and losing his composure, which led him to act violently in front of Xiao Hao. He should have asked Claire to take Xiao Hao away first.

As a result, I didn't get to fight to my heart's content, and Xiao Hao might misunderstand me as someone who only knows how to use force.

Rometheus: Do you think people need to misunderstand this? Do you think they're as blind as you? Do you think I got those injuries from your weak touch? If Xiao Hao really gets away, I'm afraid I'll be lying on the sofa and won't be able to get up!

After Demulan finished speaking, he followed Ella to the operating room. Daisy also stood up and followed closely behind Demulan. This time, she could also take a good look at how the Relink brain-computer interface was installed.

Chapter 531 I am now a gaming genius!

After seeing them all go into the operating room, the four people left outside looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Um... Cammy, have you finished downloading the game? Uncle Rometheus will need some time to install the Relink brain-computer interface on Aunt Demulan. How about the four of us play a game together?"

Zhang Hao is quite confident in his current gaming skills. After acquiring god-like learning talent, he only spent one day successfully honing his gaming skills to the level of a game streamer, after all, he learned by following online tutorial videos.

Zhang Hao: Hehehe, next time I'll copy Sister Xiaowen's skills again, then Sister Xiaowen won't be dragging me down to rank up anymore, I'm going to make Sister Xiaowen's eyes light up!

Kami took out her phone, opened the game she had just downloaded, and looked at Zhang Hao somewhat awkwardly, saying:

"I've never played this kind of competitive game before, so I might hold you guys back. Please forgive me!"

However, upon hearing these words, Zhang Hao's eyes immediately lit up. He then grabbed Kami's hand and said confidently:

"Hehehe, don't worry about that, Sister Kami. You can leave this to me with complete confidence. With me here, there won't be any problems. I'm a pro at this game!"

Hearing Zhang Hao's confident words, Claire couldn't help but burst out laughing. She couldn't help it; in her current impression of Zhang Hao's gaming skills, he always seemed to be the one dragging her down.

This time, Claire was surprised that Xiao Hao would put on an act in front of Miss Cammy. After all, in her eyes, Xiao Hao's skill level seemed to be about the same as that of a player who had only been playing for a short time.

Claire: But I still understand Xiao Hao very well. After all, he's a teenage boy who wants to show off his skills in front of girls. It's just... I hope Miss Camille doesn't surpass Xiao Hao too quickly.

"Hey Hao, how about you and Miss Kami go bot lane this time? I'll go mid and jungle with [Zero]. With this split, we can basically win no matter how we play."

After hearing Claire's "heartwarming" suggestion, Zhang Hao nodded. This was a good idea; if Sister Cammy came to assist him, she could better see his amazing skills.

Claire: It seems like there's no problem handing the top lane to Xiaohao, since it doesn't really matter whether he's there or not. But let's forget about it. Let Xiaohao interact with Ms. Camille more. Ms. Demulan should be quite satisfied with that!

The four random players also entered the game. Zhang Hao acted as Kami's teacher, helping her quickly skip the tutorial. After adding them to the team, Zhang Hao started the game immediately.

Zhang Hao: Hehehe, it's time to put some pressure on the other side.

Claire, however, was thinking about how she could help Xiao Hao gank the bottom lane as much as possible later. It would be quite embarrassing if the enemy team crushed their lane in front of Kami.

But Claire thought about Zhang Hao's usual nonchalant expression after being beaten up, and silently put the thought of Zhang Hao causing shame out of her mind.

Claire: Oh, why am I overthinking this? With Xiao Hao's mentality, we don't need to worry about him at all. If this were going to explode, Xiao Hao would have stopped playing games long ago, given his skill level.

Unlike Claire, who was thinking about how to help Xiao Hao, Zero remained cold-faced. After playing a game with Zhang Hao before he went to cook, he immediately noticed that Xiao Hao's skills were not quite right.

Zhang Hao dominated the game in just 8 minutes. You should know that he couldn't even achieve this in the AI ​​training camp, but he did it in ranked matches.

At the same time, the observant Zero immediately noticed that in just a few days since they last ranked up together, Xiao Hao's rank had already reached the same level as hers.

You know, Zhang Hao had told me before that he really hated having someone else play for him to rank up (of course, being carried by Xiaowen and Ling doesn't count (●'?'●)). And with Xiao Hao's invincible tendency to drag the team down, even Mai Xiaowen couldn't possibly drag him to this rank in such a short time.

Mai Xiaowen: Damn it... This is the most shameful thing in my life! You little drone, stop talking! If you say another word, I'll blow you up with my drone.

Kami looked at Xiao Hao, who was carefully teaching her, with sparkling eyes. In her eyes, Xiao Hao was the embodiment of perfection. He was cute, could cook well, and was now patiently teaching her, someone who didn't play games much, how to play.

If she weren't so shy, Kami would have loved to run up and give the little boy next to her a couple of bites.

Kami: Xiao Hao smells so good, he must taste really good to eat, hehe. (?'?`?)

"Come on, Sister Kami, let's buy the support items and go help [Zero] start with the red buff."

Claire, upon hearing Zhang Hao's initial plan, looked on in surprise. What?! Xiao Hao's first move isn't to gather in the mid lane for a team fight? This... is this really the same Xiao Hao who used to mindlessly feed first blood?

What surprised her even more was what followed. In the subsequent matches, Zhang Hao's ability to get wards placed by Kami and his predictions about the opposing jungler made Claire feel completely unfamiliar.
