Qilin Comes Calling

"Our Earth's understanding of the Angel Civilization is extremely limited."

"However, I have heard some rumors about them."

"They claim to be the King of Gods, in other words, the highest civilization in the Known Universe."

"But I've only heard some rumors about them and have never had direct contact."

"They pursue the justice in their own ideals. I have no idea why they've descended to Earth this time."

"But personally, I think it's necessary to establish contact with them."

After Du Kao finished speaking, everyone else in the meeting room slowly nodded.

"However, establishing communication with them probably won't be easy. Given Earth's current technology—even with the technology of the Deno Civilization added in—if they don't wish to reveal themselves, it'll be very difficult for us to track them down."

At this point, Du Kao stopped speaking and looked toward Leina, who was sitting across from him, signaling for her to talk about the Taotie from Airport Road last night.

"The Taotie Civilization belongs to the Styx Galaxy. There's an almighty God there named Death God Karl, who enjoys studying death."

"And the civilizations within the Styx Galaxy all enjoy slaughtering one another or invading other civilizations, creating death to please their god."

At this, a fat old man on the other side of the conference table frowned.

"We don't like the concept of gods."

"Uncle Huang, space travel aboard spacecraft relies on speed and fragile life forms. It's impossible to travel from one galaxy to another that way."

"Then the Super Gene project began. A god is merely a designation for someone whose Super Gene has reached a certain level."

"They call me a god too—the Sun Goddess."

The fat old man slowly nodded and raised a hand slightly. "Understood. Please continue."

"The Taotie's descent is bound to be centered around slaughter. I suggest activating the Black Great Wall Plan that Pan Zhen once mentioned to you."

Everyone nodded one after another, and after another round of idle discussion, the decision was finally settled.

The Super Soldier Company was officially established.

Just after the Super Soldier Company plan was finalized, Du Kao's gaze locked onto the Super Soldier in black armor with Golden Wings on the large screen.

"Lian Feng, have we found this person's information?"

Everyone turned to look at Lian Feng again.

"Yun Zhao, twenty-four years old, a native of Juxia City. The records show that he's a native of Earth."

As Lian Feng spoke, she had already brought up Yun Zhao's information.

Everyone looked through it and nodded repeatedly. Only Leina remained completely uninterested.

"A Jie, go make contact with him and bring him into the Super Soldier Company. Earth is in grave danger. Every additional source of strength gives us another safeguard."

"Yes."

A Jie hurriedly stood and replied.

Facing Du Kao's confidence, Leina curled her lips inwardly.

You people want to recruit Yun Zhao? Who gave you that confidence? She couldn't be bothered to say anything. She had only come to make friends and beat up a few Taotie along the way. As for everything else, she would stay out of it whenever possible.

Knock, knock, knock! At Yun Zhao's villa in Juxia City, Yan and the other three women were, as usual, lounging around at home and watching dramas.

Yun Zhao, meanwhile, was studying in his room.

When they suddenly heard the knocking, Yan and the others froze. Ling Xi was the first to get up and open the door.

"It's you!"

Seeing who was standing outside, Ling Xi was somewhat surprised.

It was none other than Qi Lin, whom Ling Xi had met several times before while accompanying Yun Zhao.

"Hello. Is Mr. Yun Zhao here?"

"Looking for God? He is. Please come in."

Ling Xi invited Qi Lin inside. Once they reached the living room, she said, "These are all my sisters. This is Sister Leng—you've met her before. This is Sister Yan, and this is Sister Azhui."

"This is Qi Lin."

Ling Xi introduced her to Yan and Azhui as well.

The two women smiled, nodded, and invited Qi Lin to sit down.

"I'll go upstairs and call God. Qi Lin, wait here for a moment."

Leaving those words behind, Ling Xi hurried upstairs and knocked on Yun Zhao's door.

Qi Lin sat on the sofa under the scrutiny of three pairs of eyes, feeling extremely uncomfortable. She had caught a glimpse of these people in the car yesterday, but she hadn't seen them clearly.

Now that she could see them clearly, she couldn't help feeling astonished. All three women were stunningly beautiful, each possessing her own unique charm.

She naturally knew that they were all angels. She couldn't help thinking that the angels in Western mythology weren't entirely fictional after all. At least, the claim that angels were beautiful was completely true.

"Miss Qi Lin, what brings you here?"

Yun Zhao was somewhat surprised when he heard that Qi Lin had come looking for him, but he quickly got up and went downstairs.

The moment Qi Lin saw Yun Zhao, she stood up and gave him a salute.

"I came to thank you for stepping in yesterday, Mr. Yun Zhao."

"It was nothing. I just happened to be passing by."

The four angels all rolled their eyes at once upon hearing this.

Yeah, right. You clearly rushed over ahead of time because you wanted to play the hero and save the beauty.

Qi Lin also found it rather amusing, but she couldn't laugh.

Yun Zhao wasn't embarrassed in the slightest. He invited Qi Lin to sit down again, while Ling Xi thoughtfully poured her a glass of water.

"Thank you."

Qi Lin accepted the water and thanked her, then looked at Yun Zhao. "Mr. Yun Zhao, I heard from Qiang Wei that you're like her—a superpowered person. Is that true?"

"A superpowered person?"

Yun Zhao was slightly taken aback, then smiled and nodded.

"You can understand it that way."

Of course it is. After returning yesterday, Qi Lin had decided to visit him personally. On the one hand, it was to express her gratitude. On the other, she had spent the entire night thinking about how to speak with Yun Zhao without revealing that she knew too much.

"I never believed in superpowered people before. That was until I met Qiang Wei. She also said that I might have some kind of superpower, but that it needed to be activated, and she didn't have the ability to do it."

At this point, Yun Zhao seemed to understand what Qi Lin meant. He didn't question how she knew that she possessed a Super Gene, since she was friends with Qiang Wei, after all.

"You do have a dormant superpower inside you. Activating it is simple. If you trust me, I can help you."

Yun Zhao smiled as he spoke.

"Really? Then what do I need to do? Or what do I have to give in return?"

Her straightforwardness left Yun Zhao somewhat stunned, but he quickly recovered. He raised two fingers.

"I'll give you two choices. How about you hear them out?"

"Okay."

Qi Lin nodded and immediately became serious.

"First, let's talk about your Super Gene—well, the superpower as you understand it."

"It's a superpower with very low potential. Its upper limit for growth isn't very high."

"My first choice is this: I'll help you activate your Super Gene—your superpower—and you'll follow me from then on. I can provide you with resources to raise your upper limit for growth."

"Of course, you can also choose not to follow me. I'll still activate your superpower for you. Consider it a gesture of goodwill between acquaintances."

"Those are the two choices. Which one will you pick?"

Hearing this, Qi Lin pretended to frown and ponder. She remained silent for quite a while, her pretty face repeatedly showing signs of inner conflict.
