"Tell this guy I'll be at the designated location in two weeks. Tell him to be prepared and not to be discovered."

Huang Cao, who was lying in bed, stretched and mentally closed the interface for handling official business. He tiptoed off the bed, trying not to disturb his sleeping wives next to him.

Aside from remotely controlling Sargon these past few months, I've mostly been enjoying the comforts and healing atmosphere of home.

As the national system gradually improves, the daily routine work that Huang Cao needs to handle is also decreasing.

Gradually, Huang Cao suddenly realized that he seemed to have a sense of déjà vu regarding the will of the star nations.

With such an efficient administrative system, one only needs to set a general direction, and the rest is implemented by subordinates.

This is undoubtedly a very efficient system, and it doesn't even generate much waste of resources.

Even the Cyber Ghost found it unbelievable, because such an almost ideal society had only existed in Pre-Civilization.

Chapter 531: The Passing Deer and the Failing Dragon

"Old Black Snake, when are you finally going to get stabbed to death? I'm getting impatient."

"Your Excellency, Master Huang, the plan is still several years away from starting. That silly dragon needs to train properly at the Saint Petersburg school for a few years; it's not that easy."

"By the way, how are that silly dragon's grades? Has her teacher sent you her test results?"

"Well, she never passed a math exam when she was studying under me, so I can't expect her to study well after she's no longer under my supervision."

Old Black Snake could only hope that this farce would end quickly so he could put his plan into action.

Whether Ursus will ultimately be destroyed or not, at least let me see some hope, but right now, that hope doesn't seem very great.

After hanging up the phone, there was also someone's exam score on Huang Cao's desk.

Alina, she's simply a genius.

After studying for less than a year, his grades in all subjects had already reached the passing level.

Then look at the test results for Talulah that the Black Serpent sent; the dragon's score is less than one-third of that of the Magical Deer.

Although it wasn't the same exam paper, the knowledge they learned was almost synchronous at this age, and besides, the overall difficulty of Master Huang's education was definitely stronger than that of Ursus's education.

Alina can only read, while Talulah received a complete education in Lungmen when she was a child.

Even so, the dragon still couldn't beat Alina, which speaks volumes.

On one hand, he's naive; on the other hand, he simply doesn't want to study seriously.

"Perfect timing. There are still two weeks until we meet that guy. I can go check on Alina and see how she's doing. After all, I used a rather crude method before."

After changing his clothes, Huang Cao glanced at his still-sleeping wives, then drove alone to the university in the capital of Utopia.

The university was very quiet in the morning.

Every student is working hard to learn the ever-changing knowledge; this is the essence of youth.

Without exception, every student's face, besides youth, also showed a determination unlike that of students from other countries, having long since shed the naivety of childhood.

They had to travel alone for three years before going to university.

This period of time is enough for them to change their outlook on life and to better understand the preciousness of their motherland on this land.

Huang Cao flipped through Alina's class schedule.

In order to cultivate more talents to infiltrate other countries, and considering that the people personally recruited by Master Huang generally do not have high academic qualifications, Utopia Capital University has specially set up an international class.

The program teaches high-density knowledge using the methods of a regular university, allowing students more time to experience the utopian education and atmosphere.

Clearly, anyone who catches Master Huang's eye is at least not a fool.

If she doesn't have classes that day, Alina usually spends her mornings studying in the library, frantically absorbing the knowledge she needs.

Huang Cao also came to the library. As the spiritual and powerful leader of the entire country, everyone he met on the way wanted his autograph.

Since I had nothing else to do today, Huang Cao patiently signed autographs for everyone one by one.

The Utopians who received the autographs realized that their leader didn't want to be too ostentatious, so they obediently left.

Hehe, this is the lord's autograph~.

Slowly push open the small door to the library study room.

In a secluded little corner, Huang Cao spotted Alina studying diligently.

Beside her was a pot of water and a piece of soft bread that didn't crumble and had no taste.

Huang Cao tiptoed over and sat down in front of her. "Ms. Alina, are you settling in well after Utopia?"

The fawn, startled by being called by name, nearly bumped its newly grown antlers into the bookshelf behind it.

"Mr. Huang, I'm so sorry, did I startle you? I was really being very rude just now."

The little deer lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at the man in front of her.

"It's okay, and there's no need to be so afraid of me. Just treat me like an ordinary person. I think you should understand now why I brought you to Utopia."

Alina was a little flattered. "Although I like it here, I think that with my abilities, there seems to be no one in the world more suitable than me."

"Learning this knowledge is easy for most people, but a resilient soul is extremely rare. You must believe that you are unique. I am just an investor who has taken a liking to your soul."

Huang Cao thought to himself, "Because only you can tame Talulah, this Red Dragon. Do you understand the value of an external brain?"

Encouraged, Alina put aside her inferiority complex. Having been ruled by the Ursus Nobles for so long, she couldn't change her mindset anytime soon.

"How are your math and physics grades going? You should also study chemistry more; it might come in handy later."

"Mr. Huang, I passed all of these, but it will take some time before I can achieve excellence."

Huang Cao glanced at the books on the table; they were mostly practical manuals for mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

These are also books recommended by the deer's teacher after careful selection, taking into account the students' future career paths.

After all, there won't be any problems for this little deer to solve in the wilderness in the future, so knowledge must be linked to practice.

"There's no need to delve too deeply into these things; getting around 80 points is about right. My recommendation is to learn more about the history and culture of different countries, and study the social structures and humanistic ideas of utopian societies."

It is well known that administrative positions in some academies are mostly held by liberal arts personnel, and this is often not due to disdain or oppression.

Rather, it's because the researchers are busy with their research. They spend all day on an experiment, so they don't have time to manage administrative issues. You can't expect them to work overtime after they've finished their regular workday.

Considering that the average education level of the Reunion Movement members is no more than primary school, Huang Cao can only make Alina suffer a little first, so that she can also learn some math and science.

The top leader is in charge of both administrative and practical positions; no one else in the Reunion Movement besides Alina could do it.

Talulah's grades are unsatisfactory!

In the early stages, she knew almost nothing except how to fight.

Huang Cao looked at Alina with a hint of pity in her eyes, and even began to wonder if she should have a few of her capable henchmen disguised as refugees to infiltrate the area and alleviate her future management pressure.

The composition of the Reunion Movement was disastrous; even after the Red Dragon was seduced and corrupted by the Black Serpent, its management remained extremely chaotic.

There were even several acts of mutiny, with large amounts of food being taken away, leaving everyone in danger.

I wonder if this little deer can withstand such immense pressure.

There are still a few years left, but it's impossible to cultivate a superhuman in such a short time unless he is truly exceptionally gifted.

"Okay, I will try to learn about this. I hope that Utopia will find it useful in the future, and I will definitely not let you down!"

Alina nodded, unaware of the "hell" that awaited her in the future.

Chapter 532: The Peipei Family's Escape

Half a month passed quickly. Under the advice of the women at home who wanted to find the Sargon sisters, Huang Cao boarded the flying machine and headed to Sargon with a helpless expression.

What sisters? That also depends on fate!

However, it seems that if we include Anma's original race in my household, deer and Sarkaz are the most numerous.

Feline is the least, because there's only one catgirl, Kal'tsit.

They arrived at Sargon without any obstacles, only to find themselves surrounded by endless yellow sand, and the Emperor of Sargon was located in the middle of this sand.

The Second Prince had been waiting for some time inside a cave.

Since he himself had little ability, no one believed he could cause any trouble, so they relaxed their surveillance.

One can only say just how appalling the Second Prince's behavior must have been for Sargon's royal family to be so dissatisfied.

Upon entering the dark and cool cave, Huang Cao saw Sargon's Second Prince, who was sitting with his legs crossed high.

"So you're the lord of that Utopia?"

"Knowing it was me, I still dare to be so arrogant. I think you're tired of living. Let's beat him up and show him why the flowers are so red."

Huang Cao was so angry he almost laughed. This guy's father had to be very respectful to him. He was really afraid that Utopia might eat Sargon if he wasn't careful.

How dare this guy?

"I am Sargon's Second Prince, what you've done is a death sentence!"

"Your laws have no effect on me. The current Emperor of Sargon is powerless, and you certainly can't be either. Besides, you didn't bring any guards with you."

The Utopia Warrior, who had received orders, were holding down the Second Prince, whose true form was a feline, and were beating him mercilessly.

After knocking him unconscious, pour cold water over him and continue beating him until he is completely subdued.

Less than half an hour later, after fainting several times, Second Prince Sargon finally had a chance to speak.

"Still not convinced? You've got guts."

Huang Cao looked at the Second Prince, who had woken up again, and couldn't help but say something.

"I give up, I give up! You didn't even give me a chance to speak! I gave up half an hour ago, you definitely didn't give me a chance!"

The Second Prince's surrender created an awkward atmosphere. Huang Cao, without batting an eye, had his men help him into a chair.

"Since you've come to see me, I've already had my subordinates convey the plan to you beforehand. What do you think? This is a very suitable deal."

Huang Cao blew a breath at the dejected man in front of her, and the injuries on his face instantly healed completely, which was extremely miraculous.

The Second Prince took a deep breath. "I'm willing to agree to your conditions, as long as you can help me ascend the throne. But you should keep your promise, right?"

"Of course. As the lord of Utopia, the owner of more than half of this land, would I lie to you? A person needs to keep their word."

Huang Cao silently complained to herself: Actually, I'm a plant, I don't need to abide by human trust.

After exchanging words, Huang Cao handed a leaf to the other person.

"Put this leaf into the public bath of your palace, and it will automatically search for your brother and father. You will then have a squad of guards at your disposal. Make sure to take over the palace as soon as possible. If you fail, my men can escape, but you cannot."

"I believe you also know that once your brother ascends the throne, given your past actions, he certainly won't spare your life."

The Second Prince fell into deep thought, then put the green leaf from Master Huang's hand into his pocket.

"You're right. Why can he be the King of Kings, but I can't? I don't think I'm any worse than him!"

Listening to the Second Prince's complaints, Huang Cao couldn't help but think to herself:

You are far inferior to your elder brother, the First Prince; your political acumen is even less than that of Talulah, who hasn't even graduated yet.

"I don't want any reward. Just remember my kindness after you succeed. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to repay me in the future. Also, I've had my men record the entire conversation between us."

"You're already on the wrong path; there's no turning back now."

The Second Prince nodded and then left the cave, followed by a group of Utopia Warrior who concealed their bodies with invisibility suits.

... a few days later.

Emperor of Sargon and his First Prince died at the same time, the cause of death unknown. In the same month, the Second Prince succeeded Emperor of Sargon according to procedure.

At the same time, the Utopia soldiers Huang Cao had just finished cleaning up the country's ecological environment were also deployed to the front lines.

The Second Prince was unaware of Master Huang's intentions, but this did not prevent him from amassing wealth after ascending the throne.

Because they believed in the promise made by Master Huang.

Therefore, he completely disregarded the utopian army on the border, which significantly reduced military spending.

Logically, this money should have been used for public welfare and infrastructure development, but the Second Prince transferred all of it to his own account, while the tax revenue generated from military affairs was not reduced as a result.

Previously, under the wise rule of the late Emperor Sargon, the chieftains scattered throughout the country had very limited power.

In order to consolidate his throne, the Second Prince began to delegate power extensively, and soon gained the support of local kings and chieftains, who all called him the most wise Sargon king in history.

With the support of Utopia, the Second Prince began to purge ministers who did not obey him in the court. As for the vacant positions, they were simply filled by paying more money.
