A Firework Show to Liven Things Up

Super Soldier Company, South Sea Fleet.

Looking at the images on the computer display, Du Kao's face darkened. He truly could not understand Di Lena's thought process. Why had she revealed her divine power in front of ordinary people, even if she had done so secretly?

That clearly defied logic!

Super Soldier Company, also known as the Super God Academy, was a special organization created to deal with extraterrestrial civilizations. Its members were all Super Warriors, although the Super Warriors currently on the roster had yet to join.

Lian Feng, a former De Nuo Engineering Gene scientist standing nearby, noticed Du Kao's expression and said, "Chief, Leina's actions were indeed a little excessive, but she did it to recruit Super Warriors.

"I investigated this girl's background. She is an intern police officer in Tianhe City, and her family background is clean.

"She is not part of our planned roster, so we cannot read her genetic model. I believe we can bring her in."

"God River Civilization was once the Universe's most brilliant top-tier civilization. Though it has already been destroyed, some of its genes survived and made their way to Earth Star.

"Find an opportunity to make contact with her. Given the situation ahead, we need more Super Warriors," Du Kao said.

"Understood," Lian Feng replied.

"Also, notify Leina. Tell that girl not to use her divine power recklessly," Du Kao reminded her.

"Young people are supposed to be a little flamboyant. That is perfectly normal," Lian Feng said with a smile.

"..." Du Kao.

"Oh, and besides that, the young man is the child of a director of Tianhe City's Angel Group. As far as I know, Angel Group seems to have been formed by some followers left behind by angels," Lian Feng continued.

"You mean there may be something related to angels within this young man?" Du Kao's expression shifted slightly.

"That possibility cannot be ruled out. Angels once came to Earth Star. No one knows what happened back then," Lian Feng analyzed.

Du Kao pondered for a moment before saying, "Forget it. We should not interfere with anything related to angels. When dealing with those super lifeforms, we have no secrets to speak of."

"Understood," Lian Feng said as she continued operating the computer.

The computer screen switched through countless images, each one representing a future Super Warrior.

Clearly, these prospective Super Warriors had long been under Super Soldier Company's watchful observation.

Tianhe City.

Di Lena had eaten and drunk her fill. She had polished off well over a hundred skewers of barbecue by herself, yet she was still not satisfied, her face full of enjoyment.

Qi Lin had been thinking about Di Lena's words the whole time. Xu Yi did not disturb her, instead drifting off on his own as he contemplated life.

"Well? Have you thought it over? Do you want to join us? This is a great cause. Miss this chance, and it is gone for good," Di Lena said.

"I still think it sounds unreliable," Qi Lin replied after hesitating for a moment.

"Fine, leave me your contact information. Think it over, then get in touch with me," Di Lena said without forcing the issue.

She rose to leave, and Wu Zhao hurried after her, her little face looking somewhat nervous.

"Wait," Xu Yi called out, his gaze falling on Di Lena.

Di Lena froze, then turned around and pretended to be calm. "What is it?"

"Nothing. Just settle the bill," Xu Yi said.

Qi Lin realized it a beat late and said, "That is right. You were trying to run off."

"No... no... how could that be? I am a god," Di Lena said, deliberately lowering her voice for the latter half.

"It is just that I did not bring much money today, so I do not have enough. We hit it off so well—how about you cover it first, and I will pay you back next time?" Di Lena said.

"You ate that much when you did not have any money?" Qi Lin asked.

"It was just too delicious. How about I treat you to some fireworks instead?" Di Lena said awkwardly.

"Fireworks?" Qi Lin did not understand.

Di Lena snapped her fingers, and countless blossoms of flame appeared out of thin air in the sky before exploding all at once.

The spectacle was quite grand and drew the attention of many people.

Even Qi Lin was captivated. Those fireworks were certainly extravagant.

"Pretty generous, right?" Di Lena said.

Qi Lin looked at Xu Yi, who merely waved his hand and said, "Fine. Those fireworks were not bad. They were worth a barbecue meal."

He had already seen through Di Lena's little scheme, but since she had gone this far, he could not exactly say much.

Besides, this barbecue restaurant was one of Angel Group's establishments.

Seeing this, Di Lena grabbed Wu Zhao and quickly ran off.

Qi Lin was still mulling it over as she said, "Xu Yi, are there really gods in this world?"

"Qi Lin, did you not see one?" Xu Yi asked.

"No, this is not what I imagined gods would be like. And Di Lena gives me a very unreliable feeling. She is not mature at all," Qi Lin said.

"Oh." Xu Yi appeared thoughtful.

"But you were pretty calm. Were you just pretending to be calm?" Qi Lin asked.

Xu Yi's behavior today had been completely unlike his usual self. Any normal person would have been shaken after seeing everything Di Lena had done.

"Tch. In the eyes of a Cultivator like me, gods are nothing but clouds drifting by," Xu Yi said casually.

"Hehe, keep pretending." Qi Lin rolled her beautiful eyes, the corners of her lips curving upward.

On the street, Di Lena and Wu Zhao ran out as if fleeing for their lives, gasping for breath.

"Goddess, you broke the rules. You abused your divine power several times today. What if it affected ordinary people? If General Pan Zhen finds out, he will definitely scold you," Wu Zhao said.

"This is Earth. Can Pan Zhen control what happens here? Besides, I only lit a little fire and set off some fireworks. It was not like I launched a flare. It is no big deal," Di Lena said carelessly.

"Besides, it is Du Kao's fault. He invited this goddess to be the captain of Super Soldier Company, but my monthly salary is only three thousand, and it does not even reach five thousand with the allowances. Buy this, buy that, and there is no money left. I cannot even afford barbecue."

Di Lena was full of resentment and clearly dissatisfied.

Wu Zhao adjusted the glasses on the bridge of her nose and said seriously, "According to data analysis, the average salary in Dragon Country is around four to five thousand. From that perspective, the salary Du Kao offered is fairly reasonable."

"Reasonable?" Di Lena looked up at the sky, feeling an itch in her head, as though a brain was about to grow there.

That night, Xu Yi walked Qi Lin home before returning to his private villa in Tianhe City.

However, the moment he entered, he saw a stern-looking woman sitting on the sofa.

"Mom, why are you here?" Xu Yi asked.

In truth, Xu Yi had sensed someone inside before he even entered. A Cultivator's divine sense was no joke.

If Xu Yi wished, he could sense every blade of grass and tree not only in Tianhe City, but across all of Earth Star.

Upon hearing him, the stern-looking woman—Xu Yi's mother in this world—immediately revealed a gentle expression.

Mother Xu said softly, "So you went on a date? I have thought Qi Lin was a good girl ever since she was little. You have good taste, kid."

"...Mom, were you not the one who asked Qi Lin to come over and teach me a lesson?"

Xu Yi asked in return, casually making a cup of tea for himself and his mother.

The tea was naturally ordinary tea, but Xu Yi had nourished and refined it with Spiritual Energy, making it far from ordinary.

When brewed with clear water, it could strengthen one's foundation, replenish one's vitality, and prolong one's life.
