Zongman: My Smart Group

As she spoke, Lin Mo shed painful tears, looking at the sunset on the horizon. Under the setting sun, there lay her lost dreams!

The system looked at Lin Mo, who was slowly wailing and rolling on the ground, and said wearily, "Host, let's get up first, okay? You're embarrassing like this."

Lin Mo rolled around on the ground, shouting, "No! You have to pay for my dragon! You have to pay for my dragon!"

Host: "No matter what, there's nothing I can do. I'm trapped inside your body and can't get out. Host, don't be too sad. Although you've lost Connor, it doesn't mean there won't be opportunities in the future. As long as you keep checking in, not only Connor, but even the End Emperor will have to obediently become your mount."

Lin Mo, you need to be busy, asked in surprise, "Really?"

System: "Of course it's true. See the power of the angels? You think the power of the gold-level angels is just a joke? It can crush the Emperor of the End in a minute."

Lin Mo quickly stood up, dusted himself off, and said, "Okay, I believe you. I hope you won't disappoint me. Time to go home for dinner!"

Seeing Lin Mo so quickly forget about the matter, the system felt like it had been tricked, but upon closer inspection, it seemed like it hadn't been deceived at all.

How could anyone fall for that? Everyone knows their host is an idiot. With that kind of intelligence, who could they possibly fool?

And that was indeed the case. Lin Mo hadn't lied to the system. He was a very easygoing person; he believed that if he gained something, it was a blessing, and if he lost something, it was fate.

Since I can't be a dragon knight, then so be it. Although I still really want to be one, out of sight, out of mind. I'll just pretend this never happened! My actions just now were simply a way of venting my emotions.

Walking home, Lin Mo suddenly sighed and said, "My whole life has been like walking on thin ice. System, do you think I can ever reach the other side?"

"..."

Chapter 25 Dr. Genus

Deep underground, in a little-known experimental base, a bespectacled man with a hairstyle reminiscent of the "Funeral Love Family" (a popular Chinese folk art movement) kept flipping through the experimental reports in his hands.

His long hair covered his left eye, but it couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes. His hands trembled slightly. After so many years of perseverance, he finally saw hope!

He is the founder of the House of Evolution, who has even deciphered the mysteries of the human body and achieved rejuvenation! He is the super genius who attempts to single-handedly drive the human race to complete its evolution—Genus!

Genus exclaimed excitedly, "This is it! This is it! The ability to grow stronger all the time and survive in any extreme environment! This is the evolution I've always dreamed of!"

Just then, a gorilla suddenly walked in and spoke in human language: "Dr. Genus, Ashura has gone mad again."

Genus's expression stiffened, and he sighed, saying, "Didn't we just let him vent last week? Why is it starting again? Fine, this time we'll just send over 100 clones for him to kill."

The gorilla exclaimed in surprise, "Dr. Genus..."

Genus looked at the test tube containing one milliliter of blood in his hand and said with a smile, "I have found a better test subject. There is no need to keep Ashura, this failure. Let's just consider it his last indulgence."

The gorilla nodded and said, "I understand."

You must know that the person in front of you is hailed as a god of biological science. He not only single-handedly cracked the mysteries of the human body and achieved the feat of reversing aging, but his cloning technology is also extremely mature. He has countless clones of himself.

Moreover, their bio-engineering technology is world-leading. In the House of Evolution, there are quite a few talking animals like myself, and they are also extremely powerful!

The most powerful of them all is the Asura. Various tests have shown that, in its normal state, the Asura can easily slaughter an entire city! Conventional firearms are completely ineffective against it, and it is even immune to nuclear radiation!

Moreover, he also has a second Asura mode. Once activated, his mind will be plunged into endless slaughter, fighting unconsciously for seven days and seven nights. His own power will be enhanced in all aspects, more than 10 times that of the normal mode!

And this terrifying creation was made by the hand of Genus, which shows how extraordinary he is!

The order was quickly issued, and all of Genus's clones changed their expressions upon hearing the news!

How can you be so selfish!

However, they did not resist, but instead walked with trembling legs toward the place where Asura was imprisoned.

In the brightly lit room, Ashura furiously pounded the ground. Standing 5 meters tall, his enormous body resembled a small mountain, giving off a strong sense of oppression.

It has a hard shell, mostly dark brown or black in color, with a metallic sheen. Its head has a huge single horn, like a sharp spear, thick and hard, as if it could easily pierce any object.

It also has a pair of huge wings on its back, which can be several meters wide when spread out. The wings are covered with intricate patterns, like exquisite carvings.

This creature, resembling a rhinoceros beetle, is none other than the undisputed strongest member of the House of Evolution—Asura!

Ashura roared furiously, "Murder! I'm going to kill people! Genus! Let me out! I'm going to delete everyone!"

A clone of Genus walked in shakily, sweating profusely, and said, "Asura, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, blood and foam splattered all around him in the next second. The other clones swallowed hard and went in one after another.

"Nowadays……"

"cannot……"

"Let you out..."

"Can……"

"Kill us..."

"100……"

Each pause represented the death of a clone. Although Ashura did not answer, he already knew the news. Knowing that there were 100 people to kill, he became completely bloodthirsty and no longer held back, but began the massacre!

Even people on the ground felt a slight tremor.

Watching the blood gently sway in the test tube, Genus sighed helplessly. It seemed he had to get rid of this experiment as soon as possible; such a failed work was a hidden danger!

Genus: "Mosquito Girl, go and bring back the person in the data. Remember to bring him back intact, without the slightest damage! He is an indispensable step in advancing human evolution!"

A scantily clad, exceptionally beautiful woman smiled and said, "Yes, Dr. Genus."

In order to better survive in human society and handle some matters for the House of Evolution, she possesses two forms that are somewhere between a human and a monster.

You should know that the waters of this world are not as deep as they seem.

………………

The blinding sunlight shone on Lin Mo's face. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the bright world, and instantly widened his eyes: "Holy crap, system, what time is it now?"

System: "Let me see, it's 11:30 now."

Lin Mo hurriedly got up to change his clothes and said, "Damn you, system! Why didn't you wake me up? You made me so late! I'm doomed, Professor Hiratsuka is definitely going to kill me!"

System: "Don't worry, host. Have you forgotten that you also have the ability to trace the timeline of Detective Conan? It's Saturday now. We didn't call you because we wanted you to have a good rest."

Lin Mo stopped halfway through putting on his pants, looking bewildered, and said, "Saturday?"

System: "That's right, the timeline is chaotic, so you can be considered a different kind of immortality now, host."

Lin Mo picked up his phone and checked it. He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming it was Saturday. He took off his pants again, changed into floral shorts, flip-flops, and a white T-shirt, and lay on the bed watching videos.

System: "Host, you've been sleeping for so long, shouldn't you find something meaningful to do?"

Lin Mo took a sip of the nutrient solution and said, "System, you don't understand. There are too many colorful things on the internet. I'm just training my willpower."

The system watched Lin Mo collect, like, and recommend videos featuring beautiful women, and said speechlessly, "Just say you like beautiful women. Besides, you have so many anime heroines around you, aren't they all prettier than the ones on your phone?"

Lin Mo shook his head and said with a profound expression, "You don't understand, do you? Distance makes the heart grow fonder."

Unfortunately, before Lin Mo could even finish watching the videos, there was a knock on the door, so he had to put down his phone and go to open it.

As soon as the door opened, Yukinoshita Haruno's energetic voice rang out: "Good afternoon! Little brother Lin Mo!"

After saying that, he squeezed in.

Lin Mo said helplessly, "Good afternoon, Sister Yang Nai, what can I do for you?"

Yukino Yukinoshita smiled and said, "Of course I'm here to see how Lin Mo has been doing lately. You seem to be doing well. By the way, have you had lunch yet?"

Lin Mo: "No."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "In that case, I'll treat you to dinner. We can discuss your job situation. You agreed to join, but some people haven't contacted you for three days."

"???"

Lin Mo was completely bewildered: "What the heck? What are you talking about?"

Yukino looked at Lin Mo's genuine expression and felt a pang of guilt in her eyes. It seemed that the aftereffects of the car accident had caused Lin Mo to forget about it. This had been evident since he was discharged from the hospital, but she hadn't expected it to continue.

Yukino stepped forward and patted his head, smiling as she said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to introduce you to an easier job. Stop daydreaming, let's go out quickly!"

After saying that, she took Lin Mo's hand and walked out, not giving him a chance to refuse.

Lin Mo: "System, what's going on?"

System: "Forbidden Magic Domain"

Lin Mo: "Useless system, leave the group!"

Chapter 26 Mosquito Girl Attack

Just like that, Lin Mo was dragged out in a daze. It wasn't until he was in the car that he came to his senses and asked in confusion, "How could a grown man like me just get patted on the head like that?"

Seeing Lin Mo's dazed expression, Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but poke his cheek again, laughing as she said, "Hahaha... Touching Lin Mo's head really brightens my whole day! Besides, isn't it normal for an older sister to touch her younger brother's head? Or do you hate your older sister?"

Seeing Yukino's heartbroken expression, Lin Mo decided not to buy it at all. He reached out and haphazardly touched Yukino's head, messing up her carefully styled hair.

Looking at his masterpiece, Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction and said, "Now we're even."

Yukino Yukinoshita was still completely bewildered, never expecting Lin Mo to suddenly make a move. By the time she realized what was happening, her hair was already a mess.

A dangerous glint flashed in Yukino's eyes as she smiled and said, "Little brother Lin Mo, come here and let your big sister love you properly!"

Lin Mo was naturally not going to fall for it and said seriously, "Sister Yang Nai, you might not believe it, but I have a disease that makes me die from being loved."

Yukino immediately pounced on her: "Since you know I don't believe you, don't say it out loud!"

As she spoke, she reached out to grab Lin Mo's hair. Lin Mo quickly pressed down on Yukinoshita Haruno's head and leaned back desperately, saying, "Haruno-nee, we're even now. Don't be so shameless, or I'll make you regret it!"

Yukinoshita Haruno sneered, "Is that so? I don't believe it!"

Lin Mo didn't say anything more. He directly activated the overclocking mode, straightened Yukino Yukinoshita's hair, and tidied her hair up, making it look even better than before!

Then she looked in the rearview mirror and asked, "Does it look good?"

Yukino felt a momentary daze and saw her beautiful self. Hearing Lin Mo's words, she was stunned for a moment before reacting and laughing, "Hahaha... Yes! I'm really beautiful!"

How long has it been since I laughed this happily? It really has been a long time.

Yukinoshita Haruno quickly stopped smiling and turned to look at Lin Mo: "Thank you."

Lin Mo waved his hand smugly: "It's no big deal. You'll know how good my cooking is once you use it!"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Then I'll have to ask Lin Mo to fix my hair from now on!"

Lin Mo: "As long as the money is right, there's nothing I can't do!"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Hahaha... Okay, I'll pay you your salary later. I'm not chatting anymore, let's go eat first."

In a fairly upscale restaurant, Lin Mo ate heartily without any regard for his image. Yukino Yukinoshita rested her cheeks on her hands, smiling quietly as she watched Lin Mo eat, without even touching her chopsticks.

Unable to bear Yukinoshita's constant staring, Lin Mo finished the last bite and looked up.

Yukino immediately pushed the food in front of her to Lin Mo and said with a smile, "If it's not enough, you can eat mine first. Don't worry, I haven't touched it yet."

Lin Mo shook his head, wiped his mouth, and said, "Sister Yang Nai, is something on your mind?"

Yukinoshita Haruno paused slightly, then smiled and asked, "Why would you think that?"

Lin Mo: "It's just a feeling. Of course, it's also possible that I'm wrong."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Haha, little brother Lin Mo, I didn't expect you to be so smart. You guessed right, I do have something on my mind."

Lin Mo straightened his collar and said with a hint of gossip, "Ahem! Sister Yang Nai, if you don't mind, could you tell me? I'm known in the martial arts world as the 'Mentor of Counseling'! I can give you some advice, and maybe things will get better if you keep talking to me. I mean, I mean, your troubles."

Yukino looked at Lin Mo in surprise. Had he just said something outrageous?

Seeing Lin Mo's gossipy expression, she couldn't help but wonder if she had misheard. She must have misheard.

Yukino Yukino sighed and said, "It's not really anything to worry about, I'm just feeling a bit tired. I've been working a lot lately, so I'm taking some time to relax."

Lin Mo said in surprise, "Work? Do capital even work? Shouldn't it be relentlessly exploiting its employees?"

Yukinoshita Haruno retorted angrily, "Don't compare me to those heartless capitalists! I still have a conscience! Besides, our family business is just a family enterprise, not a corporation!"

Lin Mo: "Same, same."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "It's different!"

Suddenly, Yukino Yukinoshita's tone softened, she sighed and said, "Why am I discussing these things with you? Let's eat. What do you know, you're just a kid."

Lin Mo quickly puffed out his chest and said very seriously, "I just turned 18 this year! I'm already a mature expert!"

Yukinoshita replied perfunctorily, "Alright, alright! Then, may our Lord Lin Mo begin his meal?"
