Goradya, the Genius / From That Day On, Two More People in This World Were Heartbroken
Your Majesty, the Supreme Master Huang: First Army Group, Second Army Group, and Third Army Group, in descending order of the length of time personnel have not taken leave, complete the handover work. Then, proceed to Siergrag for mandatory leave. The first batch is tentatively set at 3,000 people, lasting for one month. Each Legion Commander is requested to compile statistics. This process will be repeated every six months until everyone has completed their leave!
All Legion Commander in the group: Received!
Then a large group of ordinary soldiers and Abundance Warrior complained bitterly.
They all expressed that they did not want to take a vacation and could continue to dedicate their loyalty.
Of course, resistance is useless; if Master Huang gives you a leave of absence, you have to take it.
Your Majesty, the Supreme Master Huang: I believe in your loyalty, but I love my people. Don't they want to accept my love? Do you hate me?
How could I possibly dislike the great Master Huang? I love you so much!
This direct way of expressing affection left everyone in the group speechless.
Then hundreds of thousands of people flooded the group with little hearts, as if they had been seduced by a succubus.
"My God, your soldiers seem to be more fanatical and devout than my followers."
Ya'er felt a chill run down her spine upon seeing the chat logs. If all these fanatics were to rush into Siergrag, they could probably beat her to a pulp.
"But what is this little cube? It looks quite intricate."
This thing is called a cell phone.
Huang Cao left the group chat and returned to the desktop, where the wallpaper was a family photo of Master Huang and his wives.
"You really have a lot of wives, almost more than my Saintess."
Ya'er was already used to it; Master Huang's physical condition was indeed good, and she estimated that even with several Great Beast added, he would be about the same.
The only thing to worry about is the quality of the bed.
"I'm leaving in a few days, aren't you going to give me a goodbye hug?"
"Give me a cell phone, and I'll hug you."
"You're so clever, go earn your own money."
Seeing that Shu and Xi had already entered the painting, Huang Cao prepared to continue comforting his soldiers and also check what infrastructure work needed to be done.
At the foot of the mountain, atop the Utopia settlement, stands a small Golden Tree. Through this Golden Tree, long-distance communication is possible, and there's nothing else to solve regarding communication.
So let's try to improve logistics as much as possible. The construction of the airship is also on track. There is no above-ground or underground railway between Utopia and Siergrag.
Why not just use spaceships to transport supplies? We can't let our soldiers suffer in this harsh, cold land.
Siergrag has beautiful scenery, but it's a bit poor.
When the base was first established, his men ate so much salted meat that they almost turned into dried salted fish.
However... Huang Cao felt it was best to refrain from commercial promotion in this country for the time being, and also avoid dumping goods.
Because Siergrag's situation is very special.
The people living here are not very enthusiastic about material desires; their spirits are entirely devoted to religion, so it's better to have one's soldiers as a contrast.
As long as their own soldiers are doing well, the people of Siergrag they see will naturally feel a certain amount of longing for them.
After finishing a day's work, Huang Cao lay in the bathtub and glanced at her work schedule.
"The annual Sargol visit day is almost here again, and it just so happens that Lamian have prepared a tenth birthday present for Goradya..."
Chapter 484: The Genius-like Goradya
Sargol, Undersea City United Secondary School.
As a genius, Goradya had already completed all the elementary school courses on her own at a very young age, and passed the grade skipping exam smoothly, skipping all the way to middle school.
She then spent another year completing all the courses of secondary school, and by the age of twelve, she had almost finished all the courses of Sargol University.
It's a pity that Sargol's program prevents her from jumping so fast, otherwise, someone of Goradya's age would have already graduated from university.
She is currently attending her graduation ceremony at the Capital High School.
It's boring, but it's very relevant to real life.
People who appreciate a sense of ritual genuinely like it, while those who don't naturally won't bother coming, but most schools still require their students to attend.
"He will come." This is a very certain statement.
At only twelve years old Goradya sat alone on a bench, the lights of the sea shining on her, making her look like a beautiful Elf of the deep sea.
Moreover, the "he" she was referring to was male, Goradya was holding a communication device that resembled a mobile phone.
However, unlike most of Sargol's communication devices, the communication device in Goradya's hand had a Golden Tree pattern printed on the back.
The internal mechanical structure is also clearly inconsistent with existing Sargol technology.
Not long after, dozens of meters away, amidst the noisy crowd, Goradya accurately recognized the man's footsteps.
Relaxed, cheerful, and confident.
This is the way Master Huang moves; he doesn't care about anyone's opinions and goes wherever he wants.
Goradya raised her head slightly, a smile appearing on her youthful yet beautiful face.
"Mr. Huang Cao, you are three seconds ahead of schedule. I am very pleased."
Like a daughter rushing into her father's arms, Goradya leaped into Master Huang's embrace.
Huang Cao affectionately stroked the girl's forehead. "Our Goradya is truly remarkable. She completed all her studies at the young age of twelve and even got into the best university. She's much smarter than I was at that age."
At twelve years old, one is at the age of daring and fighting. Huang Cao was playing in the mud at six years old, and he was still playing in the mud at twelve.
For no other reason than that mud is really fun.
"Where's your aunt? Isn't she coming to your graduation ceremony?"
"She will only attend my inauguration as consul, and I've already told you that, and you already know it, she is my mother."
Goradya nestled in the boy's arms, not wanting to mention that woman.
If we count from the first day she saw the Huang Cao, Goradya had known it for a full seven years.
Today's graduation ceremony happens to be her birthday, but unfortunately, Hratya has never shown her even a shred of care throughout the entire event.
Perhaps in the immediate afterlife, while still breastfeeding, Goradya felt she might have experienced maternal love, but now that love had completely vanished.
Sometimes, even Goradya wouldn't see this so-called biological mother more than a few times a year.
However, she did not feel lonely.
Even Hratya didn't know that during the time Zhou Dao was without his mother, Goradya would chat with Master Huang and his family every day.
The land dwellers gave her love and care during her childhood.
"Where should we go today? I don't get many chances to come to the deep sea~" Huang Cao said with a smile, holding Goradya's hand.
"Let's go to the Consul Museum. I want to find a job that helps me understand myself. I'm going to become Sargol's youngest Consul."
"As expected of my little Goradya, you're much better than me. And here's this necklace for you, it's a birthday gift from your sister Shu and Sister Lamian."
Goradya was delighted to accept the necklace and had Master Huang put it around her neck.
Huang Cao's body is quite tall, a full 1.8 meters, so the Little Swordfish is still a bit shorter than him.
The two walked to the museum, where the appearance of the Huang Cao did not attract much attention, since the Aegir do not have any special racial characteristics.
As Sargol's only land ally, Utopia's strength has been acknowledged by the Agor civilization after a brief contest.
Because both sides had already engaged in a fierce battle of high-end combat capabilities, the Sargol civilization suffered a major defeat.
Utopia conquered this civilization with its strength, making the leaders of Sargol even more eager to pursue the technology of the Pre-Civilization.
A strong desire for development led this civilization to gradually slide into the abyss, falling into the trap set by the former.
The two arrived at the Consul's Museum. After a brief visit, Goradya stopped next to an empty portrait.
"Years later, my photo will hang in this empty frame."
The girl's tone was firm and left no room for argument.
"I have no doubt about it," Huang Cao nodded, speaking with great confidence.
Then Goradya suddenly laughed, her voice tinged with joy, but mostly with sorrow.
"You've said countless encouraging words to me before, but even now, if I only listen to what you've said today, my mother has never said so many in her entire life."
Hratya never encouraged her daughter; in the woman's words:
"Only after I become the governor will you truly be my daughter."
The maternal love this wicked woman provided was not even as warm as the warmth that Shu, thousands of miles away, offered.
The only feeling Goradya had towards her mother was gratitude for giving her life.
Based on this premise, she was still willing to regard this woman as her mother.
I don't want to become like her.
When she was very young, little Goradya made this wish.
"Mr. Huang, have you heard of the Deep Sea Hunter project?"
"I've not only heard about it, but my technicians have also offered some assistance, but unfortunately, it hasn't been very effective."
"I bet it's because you, Mr. Huang, haven't been truly committed. Otherwise, how could this technology have remained stagnant for so long? The Abundance Warrior of Utopia are far more powerful than the Deep Sea Hunter."
"Oh dear, we were discovered so quickly?"
Huang Cao was a little embarrassed because he hadn't actually shared his techniques.
Goradya continued, "Once I become the governor, I want to become a Deep Sea Hunter, completely break free from her control, and fight for greater power for her, as a way of repaying her for raising me. Then I will have absolutely nothing to do with her anymore."
"By then I will become a part of Sargol, fighting for civilization, and perhaps one day I will be able to set foot on land."
"I still support your decision, just like before. You will definitely succeed."
"Thank you, Mr. Huang. Let's go. It's my birthday today, we should go out and enjoy a nice meal. Food printed out by a printer is anything but delicious."
Chapter 485: From then on, there were two more heartbroken people in this world.
Sargol's life is quite colorful.
But only when Master Huang came would Goradya have a spare moment to run out and feast.
After all, she currently has almost no financial means and has refused the financial support offered by Master Huang.
In a sense, Hratya was right; only by becoming strong can one have a chance to break free from control.
During the meal, Goradya looked at the man in front of her, a sense of unease lingering in her heart.
She then voiced her hidden worries.
"Will you still come to see me after I grow up? That woman has been acting strangely lately, constantly saying bad things about you to me."
"Of course I will, I'll always be your friend."
"That's good. People at school say I'm weird, and not many of them are trustworthy."
"Why don't you wait until your official rank surpasses Hratya's, then find an opportunity to get your revenge? There's an old saying in Yan Country: 'A higher rank can crush a lower one.'"
Goradya smiled gently. "That is indeed a good idea, but it may not succeed in the future, and I still don't understand why my mother is so afraid of you."
Perhaps you already know, but you're just afraid to face the truth.
Suddenly, Goradya asked, "Do you think it's possible for Sargol and Utopia to coexist?"
The future Captain Swordfish is very smart; she already knew Huang Cao's purpose in coming to Sargol when she first entered society several years ago.
However, she couldn't understand why, until now, Sargol's higher-ups hadn't reacted to Utopia's probing actions.
Could it be that they've all betrayed us? But what would they gain by betraying us and joining a land-based civilization?
"Will we become enemies in the future?" Goradya asked again.
"Very likely."
Huang Cao no longer concealed anything. Although she didn't want to hurt the Little Swordfish in front of her, the war and the path to unification could not be stopped.
If Goradya really did stand in front of him when she grew up.
Huang Cao wouldn't hesitate at all; the day after her coming-of-age birthday...
