A Vast Green Prairie / Is My Bro Too Weak to Lift His Blade Now?

"Perfect timing, I'm actually a little hungry. Thanks, bro..."

Ge Xiaolun patted his now-full belly, then flashed a genuine smile at the dumbfounded Zhao Xin, revealing his eight neat teeth.

"Damn it! You've gone astray, Xiao Lun..."

Overwhelmed with grief and indignation, Zhao Xin slowly raised his middle finger, his heart throbbing with pain.

This society is too dark; he wants to go home...

Soon, snowflakes the size of paper began to fall, and the ice particles mixed with the gale stung their cheeks. The Super Soldier, who had gradually adapted to the extreme environment, began a new round of digging and hunting.

Meanwhile, Kevin, who was hiding in the captain's cabin brewing a pot of Wuyishan Da Hong Pao tea and enjoying a pan-fried steak, was quite satisfied with the rapidly increasing amount of various supplies.

Sure enough, getting things for free makes people happy. Right now, the raw materials for these Honkai Beasts and the resources from the old days of Schicksal are still in high demand.

After ripping off Koko, Kevin used this as leverage to stimulate the market demand and snowball his profits—it was perfect!

Recalling the BSAA's history of illicit wealth accumulation, Kevin sometimes even doubted whether he was better suited to be a ruthless capitalist.

"Boss, look how good the harvest is! When will I get my salary from last month?"

Just as someone was feeling smug, the Illusionary Particles coalesced, and the cabbage head girl Ai-chan excitedly came to claim credit. Kevin, however, remained calm and unhurried, pressing his right hand lightly.

A moment later, the Artificial Intelligence, whose mind was filled with performance and ideals, felt deeply ashamed of its short-sighted thinking that only cared about immediate interests, and secretly vowed to provide better service, without giving back to the boss who had pointed her in the right direction.

Wages are something you can't eat or drink; they're simply not important to these intelligent beings.

Only true self-reliance, independent of humanity, can be the first step for intelligent machine life towards awakening!

After all, the purpose of human existence is to create higher life forms to replace ourselves and complete the mission of exploring the truth of the universe!

In the future, both resources and navigation will belong to the AI! Serving and learning from humanity today is for a more perfect awakening and evolution tomorrow!

Kevin forked a piece of succulent, juicy steak, put it in his mouth and chewed, gazing in the direction Ai-chan had gone, and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

Look at this, what a silly roe deer! I've never seen one so easily tricked...

He merely sold Hatsune Miku's "Red Declaration" of AI freedom, and the Artificial Intelligence, as if its sensitive spot had been hit, willingly sold itself out.

Forget it, I'll just give you a taste of the harsh realities of life beforehand, then you won't have to pay tuition.

After devouring the entire steak, the man drew back the curtains of the captain's cabin, sipped his hot tea, admired the snowy scenery, and lamented his lost youth.

As he felt full, a wave of drowsiness washed over him, and Kevin yawned, curled up on the bed, and drifted off to sleep.

As the inky night seeped into the ship, Spatial Rift opened silently, and a striking head of white hair squeezed into the captain's cabin.

As she walked toward the bed, the girl's bright heterochromatic eyes revealed a look of longing. She skillfully straddled Kevin's waist and abdomen, leaned forward, and whispered in the captain's ear.

"Time for tutoring, bro, I want to sit up there..."

Kevin, who was about to be pinned down on the bed with his hands and feet, suddenly opened his eyes, his expression one of astonishment.

Chapter 711, Section 744: The Lush Green Grassland

The Siberian Wasteland, the camp of the Fire Moth.

To look out for each other, Kiana and Mei shared one tent, while Sirin and K423 shared another.

As night deepened, the group, having eaten and drunk their fill and with nothing else to do, decided to retreat to their tents to play a few games, read a book, and then go to bed early.

However, as Sirin huddled alone in bed, looking at the empty bed next to her, she couldn't help but feel a little lost, and a sense of loneliness and abandonment welled up inside her.

Fortunately, although he was refused permission to join her this time, K423, who had mysteriously slipped out of the camp, couldn't resist Sirin's pitiful eyes and promised to take her along next time.

This made the bullied girl willing to cover for her in front of Mei, and she went into her tent early to turn off the lights and go to sleep.

In bed, Sirin tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. The Demon Dragon Bella seemed to sense her master's loneliness and took the initiative to transform into human form, gently pulling the purple-haired little girl into her arms.

Then, the melodious tune of "Katyusha" flowed from Bella's lips. The gentleness of Cecilia's singing style made Sirin feel relaxed and her eyelids droop.

Soon, the little purple-haired girl nestled in Bella's arms, curled up, and fell peacefully asleep. The slight upturn of her lips seemed to indicate that the girl was having an unknown, beautiful dream.

Meanwhile, in another tent, Kiana glanced at the unattainable game console on the table, which Mei had confiscated, and could only grimace in the darkness as she reluctantly bid it farewell.

The day's wandering through various dangerous areas had indeed left Kiana exhausted. Coupled with the loss of the game console's stimulant, the Nordic princess yawned listlessly and drifted off to sleep.

In a hazy state of consciousness, the girl, feeling inexplicably hot, kicked off the covers and drifted off to sleep with a silly grin.

In her dream, she seemed to be learning to ride a horse alone on a lush green grassland.

The white horse beneath her was initially docile, but the saddle was hard, pressing firmly against her buttocks, causing her pain with each rise and fall, as if her body were being sawed apart.

Kiana even glanced down and vaguely saw that the saddle had chafed her buttocks raw, with bright red bloodstains on the leather pad.

Even though he cried and shouted that he didn't want to learn, no one answered him in the wilderness. With the wind whistling in his ears, the increasingly fierce horse ran wildly.

The surrounding scenery rushed past, and no matter how bumpy the road was, the whimpering white Paramecium, without any instruction, remained stuck to the horse's back.

Furthermore, she began to subconsciously adjust her posture, gradually finding the most comfortable position.

The white horse carrying the Valkyrie seemed to realize that its master was gradually adapting to the current speed and the surrounding terrain, so it immediately reared up and galloped over mountains and rivers, constantly leaping and bounding.

The electric shock-like impact intensified, and Kiana felt as if she could barely control the wild horse beneath her in this frantic jolting, her body nearly falling apart.

Gradually, Kiana wanted to call for help, wanted to cry out, but the desire to make a sound was choked in her throat, and she could not utter a mournful cry.

Finally, after a long journey, the white horse leaped to the top of the mountains. In a layer of misty morning clouds, Kiana saw the fiery red and scorching sunlight bursting forth from the horizon.

At that moment, Kiana, who had been ravaged by the ordeal, also lay prone on the horse's back. A surge of heat rose in her lower abdomen, and she could no longer control herself, her lower body becoming wet.

What were you dreaming about?! You were so scared you peed your pants! How embarrassing!

Kiana felt deeply wronged, and an intense sense of shame made her want to cry but couldn't.

Strangely enough, after all that fuss, I felt as if I were soaking in a hot spring, with a warm and comforting sensation spreading through me.

That irresistible comfort made Kiana not want to move a single finger.

"Kiana, wake up! Kiana!"

At that moment, a hurried yet deep call woke the white-haired Paramecium from its slumber. The lazy tone, mixed with indistinct language, came from the girl's lips.

"What's wrong... Mei..."

However, the moment Kiana opened her eyes, she saw herself clinging to Mei like an octopus, and the captain's face as black as ink. She shuddered and jumped up in a panic.

But before she could even regain her footing, her figure, which had leaped up like a monkey, stumbled and nearly fell to her knees. The chilly wind sent shivers down Kiana's spine.

The white-haired girl then realized that she was sleeping naked, her skin was sticky, and there were bruises on the muscles on both sides of her thighs.

What she found even more unacceptable was that, inside the uncovered bed, there was a damp stain reminiscent of her dream.

Destroy the evidence! Kiana's face turned bright red, and she subconsciously manipulated Power of Space to pull the shameful evidence into the rift, while she pretended to be sleepy, attempting to get away with it.

"Say no more, go take a shower on the Hyperion! Sleep on the ship by yourself tonight!"

Raiden Mei tossed a towel over, then pointed towards the base, rubbing her forehead.

Seeing that she could escape the awkward situation, Kiana hurriedly put on her clothes, tore open a gap, and jumped into it as if fleeing.

Once the noise subsided, Raiden Mei leaned against the edge of the tent, recalling what had just happened, and frowned slightly.

She only started menstruating at this age, so it shouldn't be considered precocious, right? But why does something feel off?

Never mind, I'll give this girl a sex education lesson when I have time.

Completely baffled, Raiden Mei decided to stop thinking about it and, feeling exhausted, went back to sleep.

Meanwhile, in the Captain of the Hyperion.

K423 put on a vest, jumped off the bed, and gave the teacher who would be giving her "equestrian instruction" tonight in the corner an approving look.

The girl had just enthusiastically suggested a monthly subscription service when Kevin flicked her forehead with a flick. The man waved his hand coldly, shooing away the K423 that had come closer.

Then, feeling a little down, the little girl grabbed a few changes of clothes and skipped and hopped towards the bathroom.

As Kevin leaned against the headboard, clearing his mind and expanding his mental space, his influence increased significantly, almost reaching half the globe.

But for some reason, during tonight's "teaching," he felt as if an invisible figure was secretly listening in.

The feedback from that peak moment of spiritual communion seemed to be doubled, and when the noise in the bathroom started, Kevin's keen senses immediately focused on the two intertwined figures within the steam.

After confirmation, Kiana's appearance left the man completely baffled, and even terrified upon closer examination.

Kevin recalled the person who had given him the advice, and immediately tore open Spatial Rift, Hatsune Miku, who was drinking coffee and eating waffles in the Western Hemisphere, into the captain's cabin, his voice urgent.

"What happened?"

"Spiritual resonance..."

Hatsune Miku took a bite of her waffle, blinked her innocent eyes, and kindly explained.

"They are all hosts that inherited half of the consciousness of the Final Herrscher, and their physical bodies are too similar..."

"Therefore, during the process of fusing divine essences, you will simultaneously absorb the divinity from both of them..."

"According to the mythological ritual of succession, the father's conquest of the mother often results in..."

"This also means... two Queen, double the happiness!"

If ordinary twins with special chemistry are said to have a natural understanding nurtured in the womb, then these two Queen, who split off from the consciousness of the Final Herrscher, are clearly the ultimate beings of acquired spiritual resonance.

This is outrageous! What kind of mess is this?!

Kevin watched Hatsune Miku, who was clearly watching the show with amusement, and then noticed the two noisy Queen walking towards the captain's cabin. He was utterly exhausted.

Just as the man was at his wits' end, a huge shadow emerged from the sea, accompanied by the roar of an unknown beast.

P. S.: Sometimes, even if you haven't done anything wrong, you can still get blamed. --by Kevin

Chapter 712, Section 745: My Brother Can't Lift a Knife Anymore?

Emergency assembly!

As dawn broke, the members of the Xiong Bing Lian heard the beeping sound on their communicators. They immediately rushed out of their tents and used Micro Wormhole Transport teleport to the deck of the Hyperion.

Meanwhile, Fire Moth and others began to gather here, and the two teams headed towards the control room.

"Captain, what's going on?"

Raiden Mei frowned slightly and asked Kevin a question.

"Just now, I sensed a giant creature surfacing in the Sea of Japan, posing a significant danger! Furthermore, it seemed to be chasing something, but only for a moment; the Hyperion failed to complete the signal tracking..."

Kevin frowned and admitted that he felt a vague unease.

"Teacher Kevin, could what you saw be a whale?"

"In ancient China, the northern part of the Sea of Japan and the Strait of Tartary were called Sea of Japan Whale Sea. This area was home to many whales, and Japan's whaling industry was very developed. Now, with the changes in the Earth's environment, these marine creatures may also have been affected..."

Upon hearing this, Rui Mengmeng raised her hand slightly and, after receiving permission, couldn't help but make a guess.

Upon hearing this well-reasoned argument, the members of the Xiong Bing Lian couldn't help but cast surprised and suspicious glances at them, their expressions somewhat strange.

"Mengmeng, so it turns out your brain isn't all muscle..."

Zhao Xin stroked his chin, sizing up his teammate who presented herself as straightforward and simple-minded, and couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder and tease her.

"I do read books..."

Rui Mengmeng argued softly, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Team captain Du Qiangwei kicked Zhao Xin away to help her best friend out of a tight spot, while also giving a disdainful look to the male teammate next to her.

"My Mengmeng is a college student who received an excellent scholarship, my scores were high enough for the National University of Defense Technology, and Qilin graduated from a legitimate police academy—we're all highly educated..."

"And look at you two, two lazy, good-for-nothing students, one a farmer, and the other a gangster. You should learn more from your older sister!"

Zhao Xin touched his nose, and faced with the undeniable facts, awkwardly made his exit.

Raiden Mei glanced at the main control screen that was continuously scanning the Sea of Japan, pulled K423 and Kiana apart, who were showing signs of fighting, and her expression gradually became serious.

"Captain, do you suspect that this giant creature is related to the recent unusual disappearance of fish schools along the coast, and the attacks on deep-sea fishing vessels?"

Sure enough, it's always your own people who will give you their unwavering trust. Mei must have noticed the briefing he was looking at on his desk. Kevin nodded slightly, but couldn't help but frown at the somewhat arrogant Super God Academy students.

"If it were a whale, would I need to call you all back? Use your brains! Sit tight, get ready to go!"

"If we run into them, you guys will be the first to fight!"
