Upon seeing this, the others also stopped chatting and began to observe what state Wei Long was in.

Even Zhang Hao, who was standing to the side, became nervous. If Brother Weilong had spat it out, he would have thought it was a normal phenomenon. But since Brother Weilong swallowed it all in one gulp, Zhang Hao couldn't help but worry that something might have really happened to him.

"Brother Weilong... are you alright?"

Zhang Hao cautiously approached to check on Wei Long's condition. Wei Long had his eyes closed and sat on the sofa as if in a meditative state, then let out a soft sigh.

"Xiao Hao, thanks to your delicious meal, I feel like I've broken through my own limits once again."

The others who heard this also expressed their confusion. What was wrong with Wei Long? Could eating meat really help him break through? However, only Roy's expression changed after hearing Wei Long say this.

"You...you've evolved again?"

Wei Long nodded lightly, and then, to everyone's astonishment, picked up the bowl of soup that had previously made him convulse and began to eat it heartily.

Seeing this scene, not only the onlookers, but even Zhang Hao, the chef, was dumbfounded. This... this doesn't seem right, does it? This is very different from what I had expected.

You know, my original plan was to prank Brother Weilong, and then I'd cook him a delicious meal to make him happy. But now... what's going on?

"We've finished eating, Xiao Hao. To be honest, the meat tasted pretty good, but the flavor was a bit lacking, and so was the smell. Speaking of which, how are we going to get rid of this smell? It doesn't seem like ventilating it overnight will eliminate it, right?"

Chapter 762 Ugh~ (4)

After finishing the "delicious" meal, Wei Long calmly wiped his mouth with a tissue from the table. If we could simply ignore the tears streaming down his face, no one would guess what had just happened.

"Well, I can handle that, but Brother Weilong, are you really alright right now?"

After Zhang Hao spent points again to have 9527 purify the murky air in the Special Operations Unit, he curiously asked Wei Long, "Doesn't this make you feel nauseous at all? After your epiphany, you just started to treat this as a delicacy?"

Zhang Hao: Me... Am I really too weak? No! It must be that Brother Weilong is too strong; this is completely beyond my expectations!

"Huh? Oh my god, Xiao Hao, you really know magic! The smell disappeared all of a sudden! Oh my god, my eyes are going to go blind! That stench was so strong!"

After smelling the fresh air, Wei Long looked at Zhang Hao with a bewildered expression. This Xiao Hao was indeed no ordinary person. At least his eyes wouldn't be watering from that extremely irritating gas anymore.

"Really? It really has no taste? I'll give it a try."

Roy glanced at Wei Long with some skepticism, worried that Wei Long might be saying this on purpose to get his money back. But after seeing Zhang Hao remove his gas mask, Roy decided to believe him.

"Wow, it has to be Xiao Hao again! No wonder he dares to play like this. Wait a minute! That bowl smells again. Wei Long, you better take it and wash it right now, ugh~"

Unfortunately, just as Roy opened his mouth, the lingering smell from the bowl rushed into his nostrils, instantly putting on a mask of pain and causing him to retreat backward.

"Tch, you can't even handle this little bit of flavor? Roy, you're still too weak!"

Wei Long looked at Roy with disdain, then silently gave Roy the middle finger before picking up his bowl and going to the kitchen to clean up.

Mai Xiaowen: Really? Roy, you're not kidding me, are you? Then I'll take off this gas mask.

After receiving affirmations from Zhang Hao and Luo Yi, everyone removed their gas masks.

Claire ran straight out of the room, then, looking utterly unconvinced, went to the kitchen and found Veelong washing the dishes. She immediately declared that she wanted to try what this thing that made Veelong convulse with pleasure tasted like.

"Look, I've washed this with dish soap several times, but there's still a lingering smell. Why don't you give it a try?"

After Claire tried to sniff the lingering scent in the bowl, she jumped back several steps as if she had been electrocuted, covering her nose.

"Ah! This smell... no wonder you couldn't stop crying back then, Weilong. This smell really is... like shit. How much stronger was the smell you smelled back then?"

Wei Long also raised his head and recalled the situation at the time. His mind, which was almost on the verge of unconsciousness, said:

"It's nothing much, just dozens of times stronger than the current smell. If you people hadn't undergone special scent training, you'd probably faint on the sofa."

Luna, who had come to check on the situation after hearing the news, asked curiously:

"Dragon, you actually received this kind of training? How come we've never heard you mention it before?"

Even Roy and Zhang Hao, who were standing to the side, couldn't help but lean over. Indeed, they seemed to have never heard Wei Long mention this past event before!

Wei Long, however, seemed lost in a very unforgettable memory, still tilting his head back at that familiar 45-degree angle, and said softly:

"This is actually not the training I participated in when I was in the army. You would naturally not know this. Even Xiaowen would not find this history when she checked my personal file."

When Zhang Hao saw Wei Long's expression of reminiscence, he couldn't help but think of a place that he was also very familiar with.

"Brother Weilong, did your eyes well up with tears when you went to the toilet at school back in the day?"

Dragon: Huh?!

Wei Long also turned to look at Zhang Hao with a surprised expression, and then said:

"Yeah, oh right, Xiao Hao, you're from China too. I almost fooled you again. But Xiao Hao, the shark meat you made this time smells even stronger than that toilet I used to use. Back then, I had to mentally prepare myself before I even dared to go in to poop."

"Yeah, not just Brother Weilong, I understand too, especially in the summer..."

Zhang Hao also grabbed Wei Long's hand, and the two of them began to reminisce about their youthful memories, full of "flavor," in front of Luo Yi and the others.

"Uh... thank goodness I've never experienced anything like this before, otherwise I would have really broken down. And could you two please stop talking? I haven't even digested what I ate tonight!"

Luna promptly interrupted the two who were getting more and more excited. If they continued talking, she would throw up everything she had eaten that night. Their conversation was full of "flavor".

"In short, Brother Weilong, I am completely convinced. You are the real strongman. Roy is not even worthy of carrying your shoes. Next time we go to the Tower of Babel, I will order a bowl of snail rice noodles and see if Uncle Rometheus can eat it."

Zhang Hao also fixed his gaze on Rometheus. This Uncle Rometheus had some masochistic tendencies, but he would scream and groan when being scalded from both ends, yet he would always look like he wanted more.

Zhang Hao: Roy has already given up. I don't believe I can't take down Brother Weilong, but I can certainly take down Uncle Rometheus!

Since they were going to the Tower of Babel in a few days anyway, Zhang Hao started to think about what surprises he should prepare for Rometheus.

Rometheus: Hmm?! Why do I feel a chill on my butt again? Could it be that something dirty has been hiding in my Tower of Babel lately? No, no, I really have to send my eldest son here tomorrow to find out what's going on.

Chapter 763 The Panicked Rometheus

"What? You're all coming to my Tower of Babel tomorrow? How come I didn't hear anything about this? Are you being so casual when discussing things?"

Rometheus, who had just gotten out of bed, felt like his world was collapsing. Could it be that his luck had been really that bad lately? Why did he feel a chill on his butt and back when he was sleeping, and then this morning he was given such shocking news?

Of course, what surprised Rometheus was not that Daisy and Demulan would come to his place tomorrow. Although the two of them gave Rometheus a headache, they were not enough to cause such a strong emotional fluctuation.

What truly surprised Rometheus was that Daisy had inadvertently revealed to him earlier that Deep Blue would also be coming to his Tower of Babel with Xiao Hao to discuss matters.

Rometheus was filled with fear of this deep blue being whom he had never met before, and it all started with Zoa.

Back when the young Rometheus and Zoya were studying Relink brain-computer interfaces at the same university, Rometheus often heard stories about this Soviet superhuman from Zoya.

However, in Zoya's words, these "glorious deeds" were usually about how Deep Blue disciplined her when she was disobedient. Based on Zoya's vivid descriptions, Rometheus developed a deep-seated fear of Deep Blue from that moment on.

Now, not only have he and Zoya parted ways, but Zoya also slapped him in anger. Rometheus doesn't believe that Zoya won't go to Deep Blue and tell him about it.

Rometheus: Zoya told me before that this Deep Blue Instructor is extremely protective of his own. This time he's coming... he's bound to come after me!

The thought of that legendary Superman standing in front of him made Rometheus realize that he was indeed scared; who could withstand that?

"Why are you reacting so strongly? What have you done this time that you've wronged me and Demurean? You didn't secretly sell my and her information to Hudson, did you?"

While Daisy was still wondering, Rometheus had already hung up the phone, feeling that he needed to calm down for a while.

Rometheus: No, I have to start saving myself. I can't just stand here and wait to die!

"Yes, I can call Xiaohao first and ask him to sound out Shenlan's side to see what they think."

Rometheus immediately thought of Zhang Hao. That's right, Xiao Hao was very much favored by Deep Blue, which was the safest way for him to get information from Deep Blue at the moment.

Rometheus immediately took out his phone and called Zhang Hao:

"Hey? Uncle Rometheus? Did you find out we're going to the Tower of Babel to find you tomorrow? Oh dear, I was planning to give you a surprise!"

After the call connected, Zhang Hao's voice came from the other end. Upon hearing Zhang Hao's words, Rometheus immediately asked:

"Xiao Hao, when you come to my place tomorrow, will that Instructor Shen Lan come with you?"

"Yes, this time it was mainly Uncle Shenlan who went to communicate with Aunt Demulan and the others. I'm here to be your cook. By the way, Uncle Rometheus, what do you want to eat tomorrow? Have you prepared the ingredients?"

Hearing Zhang Hao's words, Rometheus's anxiety finally died. Daisy hadn't lied to him after all; Deep Blue really was coming to his place tomorrow.

"Those... let's not talk about it for now. Xiao Hao, Uncle Rometheus has a favor to ask you. Could you please try to find out what Instructor Shen Lan thinks of me?"

Hearing Rometheus say this, Zhang Hao was also a little puzzled. Why did Rometheus suddenly want to know what kind of person he was in Deep Blue's eyes? After all, it seemed like the two of them had no connection at all, right?

But since Uncle Rometheus had made such a request, Zhang Hao felt he couldn't let him down! He immediately agreed.

"Just to ask what you think of Uncle Deep Blue? Fine, Uncle Rometheus, you just wait."

Zhang Hao then ran straight to Shen Lan, who was sitting on the sofa watching the news, and asked with wide eyes:

"Uncle Deep Blue, what kind of person do you think Uncle Rometheus is?"

Hearing Xiao Hao's question, Shen Lan put down her phone and, after thinking for a moment, gave her own assessment:

"He's a ruthless person. You know, back when your sister Zoya and he were classmates, she mentioned this kid to me quite a bit. At the time, I was actually planning to recruit this kid into the research department after Zoya graduated."

"It's a pity that this guy was too eager and too easily swayed. I know that the Hafk Group must have offered him very generous terms back then, which is why he had such a falling out with Zoya. But since it has already happened, I have given up the idea of ​​recruiting him as well."

"Now that he's in charge of the Tower of Babel, he'll probably never be able to leave the Hafk Group again. It just goes to show that we're on different paths and can't work together anymore!"

After listening to Deep Blue's words, Zhang Hao activated his Relink brain-computer interface, extracted the keywords from the conversation, and then sent them to Rometheus on his phone:

"Using any means necessary and acting too hastily; those who walk different paths cannot make plans together."

After clicking send, Zhang Hao happily ran upstairs to play games. Shen Lan looked at Zhang Hao in confusion as he left. What was wrong with Xiao Hao? Why did he suddenly ask her about Rometheus?

Deep Blue: And if we're really going to talk about it, shouldn't you, Xiao Hao, be more familiar with this Rometheus than I am? I only know about him from Zoya, and I don't even know if that girl Zoya had any ulterior motives.

Meanwhile, Rometheus in the Tower of Babel began to tremble. Was his reputation with Deep Blue really that bad? What was he going to do now?

Chapter 764 The Attentive Rometheus

And so, Rometheus walked back and forth in front of Zero and Ella, amidst their strange gazes, all the while muttering to himself, "What should I do? What should I do?"

"What's wrong with him this time?"

Seeing this strange scene, Zero turned to Ella and asked, "What's Rometheus doing here so early in the morning? Is something about to go wrong? Isn't he still here?"

"God knows, after all this time, haven't you gotten used to his jumpy personality? He's making such a racket here now, who knows, he'll probably go back to sleep in a little while."

Ella, on the other hand, seemed used to it. After all, this wasn't the first time Rometheus had acted like this. Having been by his side for so many years, Ella thought that Rometheus would just return to normal after a while.

"No, no, no! Ella! This time is different. Deep Blue, Instructor Deep Blue is coming this time too. Just think about it, with Zoya's petty personality, I don't seem like the kind of person who wouldn't complain to Deep Blue about what I did."

Zoya: Hehe, you're really good at judging people, but it's not a big deal if I talk to my dear instructor about it, is it? If you think what you're doing is right, why are you afraid?

"My dear son, could you protect my personal safety tomorrow?"
