As soon as she got back to the room, Daisy collapsed onto the sofa with a yelp, looking completely exhausted, and complained to Desmulan:

"Wow, I didn't expect your space base to be so big! My feet are so tired after walking around. Do you have a massager? If not, Demulan, why don't you give me a massage?"

Demulan chose to ignore Daisy, who always liked to flirt, and turned to share with Zhang Hao and the other kids the embarrassing moments and setbacks Rometheus had suffered in front of him over the years they had known each other.

"Hey! Demulan, that's not fair of you! I want to hear it too!"

Amidst the commotion, Zhang Hao learned quite a bit about Uncle Rometheus's embarrassing past. He immediately planned to go back and share it with Sister Zoya. He figured that if Sister Zoya heard this news, she wouldn't be able to help but laugh out loud.

As for the eldest son, [Zero], he silently activated the Relink brain-computer interface and began recording the speech-to-text data. This would be excellent material for future criticism of that Rometheus.

[Zero]: I'm completely blown away by this win.

"Hey? Aunt Demulan, is that an AWM? It's so beautiful."

After listening to Demoulan's stories, Zhang Hao, who was about to go upstairs to take a shower and rest, also caught a glimpse of a black and gold AWM hanging on the wall. The noble black and gold color scheme instantly attracted Zhang Hao's attention.

Zhang Hao: Oh~~~ What a charming AWM lady! Sorry M700, it seems this AWM is more attractive than you.

"Oh, that was something Daisy got for me from somewhere. I thought it looked too flashy, so I just hung it on the wall as a decoration. It looks like you like it, Xiao Hao. Why don't you pick it up and try it out?"

"Really? Hehe, I'd really like to see."

After gaining Demulan's approval, Zhang Hao went over and took down the AWM hanging on the wall, then carefully examined it.

"It looks great. When I get back, I'm going to ask Uncle Uluru to get me an AWM like this too."

After playing with the AWM, Zhang Hao decided to go back and mix more custom-tuned versions to discuss with Uncle Uluru and have one customized for him as well.

Uluru: Oh! A gun with stickers on it can be traded for a whole bunch of special cocktails that Xiao Hao personally mixed for me? I've hit the jackpot! Xiao Hao, come back soon, I drank all the drinks you mixed for me last New Year's Day!

"Hey Xiaohao, I remember you used to always carry an M700, right? Can you handle this AWM?"

Seeing Zhang Hao put the gun back, Demulan glanced at his own defenseless Kamie, and then his eyes lit up as he came up with a brilliant idea.

"Hmm... I do usually use the M700, and I don't think I've ever tried the AWM before, but judging from my current strength, it seems like using the AWM wouldn't be a problem."

After careful consideration, Zhang Hao truthfully replied that within the Special Operations Unit, it seemed only Uncle Uluru and Sister Luna would choose the AWM, and Sister Luna, like Sister Xiaowen, usually preferred the R93. If his sniping skills were paired with an AWM…

Zhang Hao: If that were the case, that bastard Reis probably wouldn't be alive now. Back then, the M700 could only make a small hole in his butt. If I had been using an AWM, I probably could have shot that guy through the butt on the spot. If that were the case, there wouldn't have been so much trouble later.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hao couldn't help but show a look of frustration. It was a pity that he wasn't strong enough to control the AWM back then. But to be honest, after getting used to the M700, Zhang Hao's bond with it grew stronger and stronger.

"That's easy, Xiao Hao. You and Kami can go to the shooting range tomorrow and try it out. You can also teach my Kami some basic shooting skills. Look at my Kami, she's grown up but has never even touched a gun before. As her mother, I'm really worried about her."

“No problem, Ms. Demulan. Although I’m not good at other things (mathematics, for example)... I seem to be good at it now. I’m quite confident in my shooting skills. Don’t worry, Cammy. With me here, I’ll definitely be able to train you to be a qualified sniper.”

Upon hearing that he had the opportunity to become a teacher, Zhang Hao accepted without hesitation. "It's just shooting, isn't it something you can do with your hands?"

Zhang Hao: Just thinking about being able to show off in front of Aunt Demulan and the others again tomorrow makes me a little excited.

Seeing Zhang Hao agree so readily, Demulan beamed and told his friend Kami to prepare well, as this training session would be a great opportunity for the two of them to get close. He added that when Xiao Hao was teaching Kami shooting stances...

Demulan: Hehehe, I've discovered that I'm really good at matchmaking now. Oh my, all my wisdom is overflowing!

Luna, far away at the Special Operations Department: Something's wrong! My radar suddenly jumped. Does this mean I really miss Xiao Hao too much? No, I have to start preparing now on how to snatch Xiao Hao away from those two women when he comes back. I really can't hold back any longer!

"Okay, it's settled then. Cammy, you little ones should go back to bed early and don't stay up too late playing on your phones. Aunt Daisy and I will chat for a bit more before going upstairs."

After watching the children chat as they walked upstairs, Desmulan looked at Daisy with pride and said in a self-satisfied tone:

"How about that? Isn't my ability to seize opportunities amazing? Tomorrow, when Xiaohao and Kami are interacting, I'll give Kami a little help. Tsk tsk tsk, overtaking on a curve is just around the corner."

Daisy, seeing Desmoulin's excitement, couldn't help but smile as well.

"You, you should think about whether you can still trick Xiao Hao from the Special Operations Department."

Chapter 546 The Unique 9527

After hearing Daisy's words, Demulan's previously unrestrained smile froze on his face. Yes, he had managed to lure Xiao Hao away while he was playing with Rometheus.

But what about next time? Demulan wasn't naive enough to think that the women in the Secret Service would actually release Xiao Hao again. Thinking of this, Demulan couldn't help but look at Daisy with a mournful gaze.

Can't you just have a moment of happiness? Before you could even enjoy yourself for two seconds, you got a bucket of cold water poured on you, and now Demulan is annoyed again.

"Sigh, do you have any ideas? I can't possibly go to the Secret Service to ask for people, can I? Not to mention we don't even know where the GTI's Secret Service is, even if we did, I still wouldn't be able to get the people."

Seeing Demulan's troubled expression, Daisy said she couldn't help him. She couldn't think of a solution for the time being. It seemed that the only solution was for Xiao Hao to want to come here himself.

However, the possibility of that happening is... Daisy can only say that it's pitifully small. Demulan said before that the people from the Special Operations Department treat Xiao Hao like a treasure. Even if Xiao Hao wanted to come to this space base next time, I guess those GTI people wouldn't agree.

Roy/Wynn/Uluru: Hey!!! That's not quite right. Actually, we're quite interested in the space base/bridge. If Xiao Hao is willing to bring us next time, we'd be happy to go!

"You should take it one step at a time. Let's see how Kami and Xiao Hao interact tomorrow. Maybe Xiao Hao will be captivated by your Kami in just one day."

"Sigh, you're right. Let's go upstairs, take a shower, and go to sleep. I need to rest too. I forgot I had a new Relink brain-computer interface installed today. I need to go to bed early."

Demulan thought about it and decided to give up. He figured he couldn't come up with a solution no matter how hard he tried, so he might as well go to sleep.

Meanwhile, in Zhang Hao's room, Zhang Hao and [Zero] were also beginning to explore the functions of the newly installed Relink brain-computer interface.

"Wow, this has a visual enhancement mode? Let me try it... Wow, I feel like I have superhuman vision! No wonder everyone said that Aunt Demulan's sniping skills are invincible in Asara. With this vision pack, she's invincible."

At this moment, Zhang Hao was just like someone who had never seen the world before seeing high technology for the first time, trying out the various skills equipped in the Relink brain-computer interface with a look of surprise.

"Yes, there's also enhancement for hearing and smell, but I don't need it. This enhancement doesn't work on me at all. I think it's because my hearing and smell are already beyond the amplitude limit of this Relink brain-computer interface."

[Zero], who had installed the Relink brain-computer interface a day earlier than Zhang Hao, started introducing some of the functions that he had figured out the night before, just like a senior.

"Wow, it even has AI functionality? Let me see..."

Like a curious child, Zhang Hao began to try out various new functions, but as he used them, he suddenly felt a sense of unease for no apparent reason.

"Hiss...wait a minute, with this AI, this looks like a low-spec version of the 9527?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a disgruntled 9527 flew out of Zhang Hao's mental space, pouting and saying to Zhang Hao:

"Hmph, you brat, how could you compare me to that low-level AI? There's a whole dimension between us, okay? Besides, can that AI even be the same as me? I even gave you special training before. Waaah, you bad Xiao Hao."

Seeing 9527 starting to throw a tantrum in front of him, Zhang Hao tried to appease her with a smile:

"Oh, okay, okay, it was my fault, 9527. I shouldn't have compared you to me. You're my one and only 9527. Don't be angry!"

After Zhang Hao's long and earnest persuasion, 9527 finally stopped rolling around in front of him. Then, seeing [Zero] silently watching everything, he greeted him.

"Hey, long time no see. How are you doing? Getting used to this body?"

[Zero] also silently nodded towards 9527. Has that shapeless blob from before turned into a tiny person? It looks smaller than itself, which is good.

[Zero]: I'm no longer the shortest. I've found someone even smaller than me, though others can't see it.

"Hey! [Zero], you can see 9527 too? I thought you couldn't see 9527 like everyone else after you remodeled your body."

Zhang Hao was also surprised to see [Zero] able to communicate normally with 9527. 9527 then offered an explanation:

"Of course, before he was in your mental world, and his body was exchanged from me, so it's normal for him to be able to see me, okay?"

Upon hearing 9527's explanation, Zhang Hao showed an "I see" expression. So that's how it is! He had thought 9527 was malfunctioning, but now it all makes sense.

9527: I'll say it again, I'm not some low-level computer AI, and I'm not going to have any bugs, you brat Xiao Hao!

"Although I don't think much of this thing called Relink brain-computer interface, to be honest, it's really impressive that Rometheus and Zoya are able to see this in this era. If it can be mass-produced, it will definitely make a huge contribution to this era."

After scanning the Relink brain-computer interface installed on the back of Zhang Hao's head, 9527 rarely praised it. If Rometheus were here and could hear what 9527 said, he would probably proudly say that 9527 has a very good eye for talent.

"Oops~~~ It's getting late, I'm going to sleep. Want to go together, 9527?"

At this moment, Zhang Hao also yawned widely, then rolled into the quilt, rubbed his eyes, and extended an invitation to 9527.

"Hmph, are you still a child? You want me to sleep with you? But... but since you've put it that way, I'll reluctantly sleep with you for a while."

Chapter 547 The Power of the AWM

Seeing 9527's arrogant expression, Zhang Hao smiled. Well, it was actually quite cute.

"Remember to turn off the light for me, okay? Love you."

9527 pouted and looked at Zhang Hao with dissatisfaction. Then, she was about to turn around and ask [Zero] to turn off the light, but when she turned around, she saw that [Zero] had also quickly crawled into the quilt and snuggled close to Zhang Hao, blinking at her with his "innocent" eyes.

9527: I... I'll endure it. You just want me to turn off the lights because you can fly, right? Xiao Hao, you've become naughty too. Looks like I'll have to call you Little Fox from now on.

"Crack!"

9527 reluctantly flew to the door, clicked off the room light, and then immediately flew to the bedside, lying down next to Zhang Hao's head. Looking at Zhang Hao, who was already asleep with his eyes closed, he whispered:

Goodnight~~~

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

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

"Wow, Xiao Hao, how did you do that? Even frying an egg smells so good! This is much better than what Demulan made before!"

After eating the breakfast that Zhang Hao had prepared for everyone, Daisy praised it as she ate, saying, "This is so delicious! Xiao Hao's cooking skills are comparable to those of top chefs in the United States!"

"Hehe, Aunt Daisy, as long as you like it, that's fine. If you want to learn, I can teach you too. It's actually not difficult."

Seeing everyone enjoying their meal, Zhang Hao smiled with satisfaction. As a chef, what could be more gratifying than seeing everyone eating so heartily?

"Phew, is this the Yangchun noodles from your China, Xiao Hao? It's really worth learning how to make. Eating a bowl of noodles like this in the morning would be so satisfying."

After finishing the last sip of soup in his bowl, Demulan couldn't help but show a satisfied expression. It was clear that the Chinese had a higher quotient for food; they took about the same amount of time to make a sandwich, but gained a much greater sense of satisfaction.

Demulan: It's the same protein, starch, and fat, but I guess I'll have to learn how to use chopsticks next time. I think the [zero] one is much more convenient to eat with chopsticks.

After finishing breakfast, Zhang Hao followed Demulan to the target range at the space base with great interest. During this short time, Demulan also used the opportunity to flirt with Mary and handed over his tasks to her.

Mary: Don't worry, Ms. Desmoulins! I will not let you down. No matter how difficult it is, I will do everything I can to get it done.

When Daisy saw Desmoulins assigning Mary the work that was supposed to be hers right in front of her, she looked at Desmoulins as if she were a ghost:

"Are you really Demulan? Where did you hide the Demulan I know? When did you become so good at slacking off, actually letting Mary do all the work? You weren't like this before, that 'Rolling King'... mmm mmm..."

Demulan quickly covered Daisy's mouth. They were still in front of Xiao Hao and the others. Could Daisy please not undermine me at this time? Besides, I've always been a role model for Kami. Couldn't you just whisper something in my ear?

"Haha, it's nothing, Daisy just ate too much and is a little dizzy. Let's go to the shooting range first."

Even after Demulan finished speaking, she still didn't dare to let go of Daisy's mouth, afraid that this girl might suddenly have a fit and say something. She still had to save face in front of Xiao Hao, okay? She didn't want to end up like that Rometheus.

Rometheus: Damn it, what did I do to deserve this? All I did was perform the sliding kneeling act in front of Xiao Hao. Apologizing is a good habit, okay? Xiao Hao will definitely understand when he grows up.

After walking for about ten minutes, the group arrived at the shooting range near the space base. However, this shooting range was located on the periphery of the space base. The advantage of this was that the shooting targets could be adjusted to a very far distance, eliminating the limitations of indoor shooting.

"Come on, Xiao Hao, how about we try out the AWM first?"
