"Furthermore, as you can see, Rose's spatial abilities are very limited. On Earth, Sirin and the others use spatial techniques more simply than breathing, and they have a wide variety of variations."

"In conclusion, the Deno Galaxy's Gene God-Making Project tends to develop universally applicable abilities for these successors, making it robust but lacking in innovation..."

"Sirin and her companions are messengers blessed by the Nature God Gaia, giving them a home-field advantage, but they lack the endurance required for travel to outer space."

Welt and the others listened attentively, nodding frequently. These conclusions gradually corroborated and merged with their observations over the past two weeks, and were essentially insightful observations that cleared away the clouds.

"We have the home-field advantage, excel at internal defense, and can easily employ various techniques; you are better adapted to the environment of outer space warfare, understand universal laws, and by learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses, we can achieve coexistence and sustainability."

Therefore, let's seek common ground while reserving differences, and cooperate happily...

After Kevin's candid self-analysis, he shook hands with a somewhat moved Jagustin, and the atmosphere between them became even more harmonious.

After easily handling Jagustin's probing, the man pressed his advantage, extending another olive branch to try and get closer to her.

"After half a month of basic training and sparring, the Super God Squad has a solid foundation, and I'm ready to start the next phase of targeted training for them."

"Rose will learn Space Authority manipulation from me, while Mengmeng and Himeko's greatsword techniques are a good match. As for Yao Wen, I'll retrieve the relevant data on the previous generation's Herrscher of Rock for his reference and learning..."

"Furthermore, St. Freya Academy's S-class Valkyrie Durandal can teach Zhao Xin spear techniques, and the remaining few all have appropriate improvement strategies..."

Kevin unwrapped the candy, popped a plum candy into his mouth, and began to speak eloquently, sending detailed training documents to Jagustin.

But at this moment, strange gazes gathered around him, making Kevin feel uneasy. He couldn't help but touch his face and frown slightly.

Why are you looking at me? Is there something wrong with it?

After a slight hesitation, everyone spoke one by one.

"You actually devised a specialized training plan for them and so readily shared your basic skills, it's unbelievable..."

We thought you were just a slacker...

"So you didn't bring in the SCP Foundation's mixed team to physically punish students just to settle a personal score..."

"The huge sum of money you squeezed out of General Duca, at least you didn't lose out..."

Ada, Himeko, Welt, Jagustin spoke one after another, as if a cunning, treacherous smiling fox had suddenly transformed into an adorable husky puppy.

Kevin: "..."

The man's lips twitched, and his barely maintained composure gradually turned into a sinister grin.

"It seems I've been too kind; you might not be able to handle it?"

"Then let's do something exciting!"

PS1: Book recommendation. "The Tentacle Monster of the Fifth Watch" <The Godslayer Will Eventually Join the Chat Group>

If a system were presented to you, would you refuse it?

Even if...

Is that an abyss?

The following is the content...

Waibi waibi, waibi babi?

Currently, I owe 5 updates, which will be paid off before the end of the month. There will be another update around 3 o'clock.

Chapter 698, Section 731: No, you don't want to!

"Cocolia, give me three sets of equipment for the Memory Battlefield, plus 15 training Titans. For the goods ordered from Shenzhou, give me a 50% commission. You dare ask for a price, I dare give it..."

"Too much? How about I pack Welt up and give him to you?"

"Headmistress Theresa, I need that silly goose for a few days. She'll tell me about her mission. Her best friend Rita is in my hands; she has to work even if she's not paid! I'll collect her wages for her. Women with money turn bad!"

"Yuriko, I remember the SCP Foundation's task forces get paid for their missions. Don't be shy, just give me a list of market rates. Someone will reimburse you anyway."

"Discount? No way, they're not short of money! But you'll have to pay the processing fee."

Kevin made several phone calls in a row, successfully extorting money from four different companies. Then, he lay back in his chair, stretching out contentedly, leaving everyone dumbfounded and speechless.

"Sir, you're really trying to rip us off! The Ministry of National Defense budget isn't something you can just give us away like cabbage!"

Jagustin wore a bitter expression, feeling utterly helpless about how to explain this to his superiors. After all, they were running a "legitimate business," and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Don't try to fool me. I saw it during the communication. Old Du lives a frugal life, but his house is full of valuable stuff. Even if the Ministry of National Defense doesn't have the money, he does. He can make up the difference himself!"

Kevin revealed his unscrupulous and greedy nature, then crossed his legs, holding a large bowl of tea, like a landlord exploiting the poor.

Meanwhile, Welt and the others, who were almost sold off by someone, ignored Jagustin's pleading gaze and quietly drank their tea in a corner.

At this moment, Murata Himeko and Ada, seeing that someone's savings had been replenished once again, exchanged glances, slowly stepped forward, and each put their hands on Kevin's shoulders to knead them, their professional fake smiles somewhat creepy.

"A salvage team found a batch of top-aged Château Lafite wine in a shipwreck in the Pacific Ocean. Give me two barrels. How will you have a chance if you don't get drunk?"

"I want to wear Tiffany's new Angel Tears bag for you in person..."

One was straightforward and direct, the other subtle and alluring, but they shared the same goal.

Kevin looked up, gave a stiff smile, and politely declined.

"I'm focusing on my health right now, so I'll pass. It's better to live a simpler life..."

Just kidding. He finally managed to get some funds today, enough to cover the family's expenses. How could he possibly spend all of his hard-earned money on the luxuries of those two vixens?

As for temptation, don't be ridiculous...

Himeko is going to get drunk, and it's hard to say who will get the better of whom. Ada is a master of playing hard to get, and she's been teased before, so she's immune to it.

"Okay, I'll handle the fake accounts and transaction records. I only need 30% commission, guaranteed to be flawless..."

"I don't care, you have to pay me hush money, otherwise the news that you're rich will spread throughout the Hyperion tonight, and you won't have a single penny left..."

However, due to their long-term struggle with someone, Himeko and Ada have mastered the art of countering every move, one using wit and the other resorting to threats, stubbornly clinging to their prey.

"Twenty percent... Please, have some decency! My phone number is being bombarded with calls from credit card debt collectors!"

Kevin gritted his teeth and shoved the two fairies away. With faces full of grief and indignation, the two, having satisfied their desire to mock him, then leisurely let Kevin go.

"Me! Me! Me too! I want to buy a portion of the wine, former acting leader!"

"Bang!"

No! You don't want to!

Red-haired Tesla, who was also struggling financially, couldn't resist trying to skim some of the spoils when he saw the three of them dividing the loot so harmoniously and amicably.

However, as soon as the twin-tailed loli raised her hand, she was tapped on the head by the expressionless, messy-haired man behind her, and then dragged out of the area where the three looters were discussing.

You idiot, in their eyes you're just walking cash.

He's desperate for money right now, probably thinking about how to sell us to Cocolia for cash. And you're still hanging around in front of him?

Einstein and Welt exchanged a glance, secretly thinking to themselves, while the genius scientist rolled his eyes and shoved Tesla into a chair.

The red-haired girl, having missed a golden opportunity to make a fortune, could only squat dejectedly in front of the table, stealing some peanuts and a couple of ounces of beef from Jagustin's plate while continuing to drink the cheap wine in front of her.

Just as the teachers were getting into discussions about how to relax, the battle in the town of Dune was finally coming to an end.

On the field, Qilin was seriously injured, Cheng Yaowen was exhausted, and Zhao Xin and Rui Mengmeng, the two assault vanguards, were also struggling against the resistance of the two aces of the YoRHa Unit.

Fortunately, as time went on, Du Qiangwei finally perfected the algorithm and figured out the distribution points of the nearby enemy forces.

After settling Cheng Yaowen and Qilin, the female captain led Ge Xiaolun and Liu Chuang to form a triangular formation and carried out a forced demolition.

In close combat, the Wolf Pack Squad, clad in Thor's Hammer Power Armor, relied on their excellent mobility and reaction capabilities to weave and maneuver, skillfully utilizing light and heavy firepower and early traps, constantly adjusting their formation, which remained scattered but not broken.

Sniper Tina also opened fire at the right time, relieving pressure on the Wolf Pack Squad. However, with Ge Xiaolun and Liu Chuang as meat shields to block from the left and right, the chances of Du Qiangwei being hit were greatly reduced as she was on guard.

Du Qiangwei and her team, who had already latched onto the Wolf Pack Squad, charged forward amidst a hail of bullets and artillery fire, refusing to give up. Their monstrous physical prowess ultimately forced these mercenaries, who were subject to human limitations, to gradually reveal their weaknesses.

Despite having outstanding players like Leon and Chris, they managed to maintain the formation's offensive and defensive capabilities thanks to their extensive combat experience.

Even a novice can be overpowered. Under Liu Chuang and Ge Xiaolun's relentless assault, seven soldiers were quickly dismantled from their Tactical Exoskeleton, dragged out, and beaten unconscious.

Finally, the bell rang for the match. The Super God Squad, covered in injuries, managed to gather ten members, but at the cost of all of them, including the captain, being in a state of near-death.

It's difficult to judge who won or lost, but the progress made by both sides is undeniable.

After a long period of backstabbing and sabotage, the two teams finally met today. Once the dust settled, they stripped off their armor, lay on the ground, and awaited rescue.

Upon receiving the signal, the Floating Battleship that followed not only brought a medical team but also abundant supplies.

There should be a party tonight...

The teachers exchanged smiles, their eyes filled with satisfaction.

"Come on, let's pay up the bet..."

But when a sudden, deep murmur rang out from someone behind them, Jagustin and the others' expressions changed drastically, as if they had lost their parents.

"Nobody's here, sorry, the house wins all..."

Kevin smirked and tossed the RMB in his hand, feigning regret, his expression utterly irritating.

Given that Du Qiangwei and her friends had bet against them out of spite, the teachers who didn't have high hopes for the Super God Team naturally and honestly invested their money in the Wolf Pack Squad.

As the saying goes, nine out of ten bets are rigged, so it's impossible for him to be completely thorough. As the person in charge of the competition, manipulating things behind the scenes was extremely easy for him.

After all, how much do those kids earn? It's nothing compared to how much these teachers make money off the rich.

The teachers, unable to defeat this person who not only didn't feel ashamed but even took pride in harming his colleagues, and still owing him favors, could only swallow their anger and secretly decide to stay away from this cunning old fox in the future.

However, before the teachers could even leave, an urgent communication from North Star was sent directly into the Super God Academy's public channel.

An unusual earthquake has occurred in Sky Dome City!

"This situation is very strange. The police have already begun to cordon off the area and evacuate the crowd. The Super God Squad has arrived at the designated location first and is on standby, ready to advance!"

Dukao, with a serious expression, stood in front of his desk, his voice low and somber. The Sky Dome City, which was already under martial law, on the Illusionary Screen exuded a sense of impending doom.

Kevin, however, noticed his pupils contract sharply as he glanced at one of the members.

He saw a towering building at the heart of the sealed-off area, named -- Shencheng Pharmaceutical!

Chapter 699, Section 732: Celestial Meteor

In Sky Dome City, all major transportation routes connecting the core northern area are blocked off with police tape and isolation barriers.

Under the guidance and arrangement of the military and police, the massive flow of people has been completely transferred to the south of the city and has been leaving the city in an orderly manner.

The once bustling and prosperous neighborhood was now extremely deserted, except for necessary guard posts and institutions that were not easy to move, such as hospitals.

"What on earth happened over there? I rushed out like that! My cash and jewelry are still in the safe!"

"You know Raccoon City in the US, right? I heard there was a biological leak caused by terrorists in the subway station!"

"No, no, it seems like they dug up something strange at the construction site—dozens of eyeless snakes. Just like that, they coiled up and dragged seven or eight strong laborers underground. They haven't been seen alive or dead since. It's terrifying..."

"A snake? I heard that what was dug out was a ball of flesh that could move and bite. Once you were sucked in, all your bones and flesh were gone, leaving only your clothes!"

"What are you talking about? Don't scare yourself. The official statement has already denied it. It says that there was a management oversight in Shencheng Pharmaceutical's core laboratory, and a batch of mice carrying the virus escaped through the ventilation ducts and drains..."

"You've all heard of the plague, right? It's similar to that. The government moved everyone back because they were worried that if these beasts contaminated the water source, it would directly or indirectly lead to the spread of the disease. So they cut off the connection between the north of the city and the outside world to facilitate centralized disinfection and sterilization..."

At this moment, the residents who were housed in tents awaiting evacuation were discussing the matter and expressing their opinions.

As the People's Liberation Army soldiers in green uniforms stood guard all around, the panic brewing in the crowd gradually dissipated due to this sense of security.

Around noon, dozens of large transport planes flew over rows of tents and converged on the north side of the city, continuously dropping liquid activated Nano-proliferation Metal around the blockade line.

In just three hours, the ring-shaped metal wall that completely sealed off the entire northern area of the city was largely completed.

Accustomed to a life of ease, the people of Shenzhou, during their evacuation, were filled with doubt as they watched several tanks and armored vehicles being run over on the road.

It's just disinfection and rodent control, is all this really necessary?

As the tents were gradually emptied by the residents, a captain came to do the final inspection. The nearly 30-year-old veteran, following the scent, found a box of Yuxi cigarettes that had been abandoned and trampled flat in a tent.

The soldier's slightly yellow fingernails picked up a slender cigarette from the cardboard box, skillfully sniffed it, thoroughly enjoying it. After clearing his mind, he took out a lighter from his pocket, lit it, and took a satisfying drag.
