Morgana wanted to flatly refuse Lin Xiao, but when she thought about her plans for coming to Earth, she ultimately could not bring herself to say no.
"Fine, I accept your terms. But you cannot reveal the news of my arrival on Earth."
"Don't worry about that. We on Earth don't worship the Angel Civilization. But if they find out on their own, don't blame us."
Morgana's words finally let Lin Xiao breathe a sigh of relief. Although the nuclear restriction order had also appeared in the original story, his presence was bound to change the future.
"Crow! Bring Soton over here!"
Lin Xiao and Morgana looked at each other without speaking, waiting for Soton's arrival.
Before long, the sound of a helicopter came from the sky. A military helicopter appeared on the horizon, with a huge iron cage hanging beneath it. Soton was inside.
Clang!
After dropping the huge iron cage holding Soton, the helicopter fled at top speed. Both the Super God Company and the Super Soldier Company had watched the entire battle. Crow was scared out of his wits and flew the helicopter at fighter-jet speed.
"This is the crocodile. He's yours now. I hope you remember today's promise!"
The moment Morgana saw Soton in the cage, she was pleasantly surprised.
A third-generation super soldier, and a beast-type one at that. He was practically the perfect super thug. The frustration of being ambushed earlier was swept away at once.
Looking at Morgana's expression, Lin Xiao sneered inwardly. He had his own reasons for giving Soton away. It was not exactly an undercover operation, but at the very least, Soton was a hidden nail.
The tiny mechanical surveillance bugs integrated into Soton's body could effectively gather information on Morgana's movements.
Soton had undergone many experiments at his hands and had long lost his fighting spirit. Even if Lin Xiao stood still and let him attack, the guy probably would not dare make a move.
Besides, Soton knew at most about the laboratory. Lin Xiao was not afraid that he would leak any secrets.
If Morgana tamed Soton, she would merely gain another glutton. Of course, he could still be somewhat useful against other forces.
"Morgana, then I'll be taking my leave. Whether you can tame Soton will depend on your own abilities."
After saying that, Lin Xiao withdrew the Black Gold cage restraining Soton and turned to leave the ruined Huang Village.
After collecting T-1000's wreckage, the three Terminator T-X units followed Lin Xiao away.
Only Morgana and a blank-faced Soton remained. As for how Morgana would tame Soton, Lin Xiao could roughly guess. Nothing more than beating him up, then offering him a few benefits.
"Lin Xiao, are you okay?!"
The moment Lin Xiao entered the command vehicle, Qi Lin rushed over and asked anxiously.
"I'm fine. Get some rest. You used up a lot of mental energy."
Although Lin Xiao's face was pale, he was not seriously hurt. He had only expended too much energy. Qi Lin's face was even paler than his, which made her look pitiful.
"Lin Xiao, Morgana won't go back on her word, will she?"
Lian Feng's trust in the demon queen was practically nonexistent. She was deeply worried that Morgana would turn hostile after receiving what she wanted.
"Don't worry. Morgana is still a renowned powerhouse in the universe. She won't do something as dishonorable as breaking her word. At most, she'll pull a few small tricks. Let's head back!"
Lin Xiao entered a command. The command vehicle transformed into a fighter jet and flew toward Super God Academy.
This battle did not reveal as many shortcomings to Lin Xiao as the previous ones had.
It had seemed to last a long time, but aside from the initial ambush, they had spent the rest of it taking a beating.
It had been a complete crushing defeat. No matter how much they reinforced their current equipment, it would not change the outcome. They needed a new breakthrough in technology.
Looking at the Terminator T-X units, which were nearly reduced to skeletons, and the wrecked T-1000, Lin Xiao made a decision.
Super Blue Gold was already no worse than any metal in the universe. Creating something beyond it would be extremely difficult. It was time to let that go.
Lin Xiao's next direction should be large-scale equipment. Greater size would bring greater power and allow for more powerful weapons to be installed.
Artificial intelligence also needed improvement. He already had a direction in mind, and if it succeeded, it would be an enormous leap forward.
Morgana did not break her word. After taming Soton, she left. As for which country she would go ruin, Lin Xiao did not care.
This battle gave the Super Soldier Company a tremendous shock, and the intensity of their training began to increase.
Meanwhile, the Super God Company waited for the new genetic serum called Dawn Light.
With Lian Feng's help, Lin Xiao combined Hulk's and Soton's genes to create the newest growth-type genetic serum.
Besides basic physical enhancement, Dawn Light no longer had fixed abilities. Instead, it would focus on developing a specific ability according to each person's talents.
For example, a sniper's dynamic vision, extreme long-range sight, and even abilities such as x-ray vision could be developed as they grew.
Likewise, for someone talented in speed, their reflexes, muscular coordination, and other attributes would receive focused development.
Reaching Zhao Xin's level of speed was impossible. That was a special gene developed over countless tens of thousands of years. Lin Xiao could not replicate it. But in terms of physical strength alone, the War God Squad would absolutely not lose to the Super Soldier Company.
After resolving the soldiers' genetic issues, Lin Xiao announced a new research plan.
The two new projects were large-scale War God Mecha and evolutionary artificial intelligence. The rest of his time was devoted to increasing his brain development level.
Although the results were minimal, it was at least growing slowly. Even his trips to the little woods with Qi Lin had greatly decreased.
Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion. The combat strength of both super squads increased rapidly, especially that of the Super Soldier Company.
As expected of super genes capable of producing gods. In this regard, Lin Xiao truly could not catch up. This was not Earthlings' path.
"Boss, we're heading out!"
"Mm, go on. As for genetics, this is all I can do for now."
Crow saluted Lin Xiao and led the War God Squad members out of the laboratory.
Just moments ago, Lin Xiao had injected them with the Dawn Light growth genetic serum.
Just as he had said, this was the limit of his talent in super genes. After all, Lian Feng, a genetic engineer, had completed this thing.
The War God Squad had received their new genetic serum and changed into Black Gold Battle Robes. In high spirits, they went out to challenge the Super Soldier Company.
As soon as they left, the communicator rang. Lin Xiao saw that it was Du Kao and quickly accepted the call.
"Lin Xiao, the two squads have been training very well lately. I'm planning to transfer you to the Giant Xia. War is drawing near."
"No problem. It doesn't matter where I am. On the Giant Xia, I can keep a closer eye on my little bugs too."
Lin Xiao nodded at Du Kao. He had no objections. He would be going there sooner or later anyway.
"The squads' training has been good, but I want to give them a live combat drill. I invited Sun Wukong to test them."
"Are you kidding me? The War God Squad has already encountered Sun Wukong. How would that test them? Wouldn't it just be the same as training? I've also prepared a live combat drill."
Du Kao frowned. He had not expected Lin Xiao to say that, but his brow quickly relaxed.
"That's fine. Then they can drill twice. Just tell them Sun Wukong has been controlled. Arrange your own drill and wait for my notice."
"Fine. I'll wait for your notice."
After the call ended, Lin Xiao took out the Blue Stone necklace and continued studying the complex blueprints within.
If he wanted his own strength to make a leap forward, he had to raise his brain development level to 50% as soon as possible and evolve a body better suited to his brain. Only then could he fully unleash this power.
At noon the next day, in Super God Academy's cafeteria, both squads were present in full for once. Even Lin Xiao had come.
Everyone sat in their seats, staring silently at the few slices of jerky on their trays.
That morning, Lin Xiao had said he would treat everyone to a nutritious feast. No one had expected it to be just a few slices of jerky.
"Everyone, eat up. This is super nutritious jerky. One small piece is worth several cows. It's insanely expensive!"
"If I didn't know you, I'd really think you were messing with them."
Qi Lin complained weakly. Lin Xiao's emotional intelligence was genuinely low. This time, he had sincerely wanted to treat everyone to a meal because they had all been training hard lately.
He was not wrong, either. He had brought out what he considered the best and most expensive food. Naturally, it really was expensive. In terms of value alone, it was worth far more than a few cows.
Unfortunately, he had overlooked what everyone else would think. Even when she looked at the jerky on the tray, the only word that came to Qi Lin's mind was shabby.
"Eat up. Whatever the boss treats us to, we eat."
Crow was the first to make a move. He grabbed a slice of meat from his plate and stuffed it into his mouth. Meat was meat, after all.
"Mmm, it's delicious! Who said they didn't want any? Give it to me."
Crow's expression changed instantly. He grabbed the remaining jerky and began wolfing it down, while his eyes swept over the other people's trays.
"Damn it, no way. Could anything the boss gives us be bad?"
The rest of the War God Squad quickly snatched up their jerky, afraid Crow would steal it. They all began tasting it.
"Damn, it's so good!"
"Yeah, how can jerky taste like this?"
"Holy shit, it tastes like chicken and it's crunchy!"
Every member of the War God Squad showered it with praise, continuously stuffing the jerky in their hands into their mouths.
"Really?"
Liu Chuang skeptically picked up a piece of jerky and put it in his mouth.
"Holy shit. It really is delicious!"
With Liu Chuang, their big brother, having tested it first, the Super Soldier Company naturally stopped hesitating and began eating their jerky as well.
For a time, praise filled the entire cafeteria. Lin Xiao proudly winked at the girls, as though showing off his cooking skills.
