Even when subtly inquiring, the women in Huang Cao's household rarely mentioned his childhood, and it's highly likely they didn't know anything about it.

After much thought, the Miss Doctor suddenly realized that Ya'er might possess a feeling of motherhood.

But this feeling... no, the maternal feeling in Shu is fundamentally different from that in Ya'er.

Although Shu is much, much older Yelagond, she always has a youthful air about her, perhaps due to her figure and experiences.

Shu was only the sixth child in her family and didn't take care of others all the time, so her temperament was more like that of an elder sister who was like a mother.

Since being startled awake last time, Yelagond has been taking care of all the Siergrag people almost around the clock.

So even now, Ya'er's maternal instincts are practically overflowing from the screen, and her expression is incredibly gentle, as if she would never get angry no matter how much she's bullied.

Thanks to that feeling, Ah Cao's brain must have been hit hard with an elbow at that moment.

In addition, Ya'er's voice is soft and gentle.

So even though it offended the Great Beast, Huang Cao spared it and instead repaired its den.

I never expected that Master Huang would judge people by their appearance. He probably enjoys it now, though he's more rational than before, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to use troops.

The Doctor couldn't help but sigh, "Although I didn't have much contact with my family in my past life, I still managed to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by love during my childhood."

As for whether she misses her parents or family now, Miss Doctor is rather carefree, and besides, there are other people in her family who take care of her, so she is at ease.

But Ah Cao's situation was much worse than his own. You could tell from Ah Cao's dull nature that he really didn't want the harmonious atmosphere of his family to be broken.

Therefore, the addition of any woman requires the consent of everyone else; otherwise, there is no chance at all.

This approach involves handing the problem over to someone else, allowing the problem itself to interact and learn from the experience.

There are no major problems at the moment; at least the harmony in Master Huang's home is inseparable from the fact that someone is so dense.

Thanks to the extremely high quality of the wood, the women could let Master Huang go out and play without worrying about him suddenly bringing someone back every day.

They were even able to brazenly create small groups to guide people in winning over Ah Cao, and actively invite others to join.

"Perhaps, Yelagond..."

What is the fundamental contradiction between Siergrag and Utopia? The Doctor came with a mission, but he cannot simply complete the mission; completing the mission does not mean the problem is solved.

Yelagond wanted to maintain sufficient freedom for Siergrag, but Master Huang only granted this freedom to the great nation of Yan Country.

If every country were to make such a demand, wouldn't that resemble a feudal system where everyone acts independently? Would that still be considered a unified Terra?

Therefore, the Doctor believed that this method was absolutely unworkable and that no exception should be made for Siergrag.

Chapter 697 Penguin Logistics has become Penguin Music.

"Completing the task is easy, but solving the problem is difficult."

Siergrag is doomed to lose. The Originium Authority is in the hands of the Miss Doctor. She can simply disable it, and Siergrag won't even be able to burn the stones.

All roads were completely blocked.

"Continue to intensify the influence of public opinion. I want to see if the major families can withstand the consequences. At the same time, promote Utopia's status in the outside world. With a two-pronged approach, fear combined with guilt, I want to see if Yelagond dares to manifest himself and rebel against Utopia at this time."

About a week later, Siergrag finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Food and energy prices have begun to rise sharply, while the currency is also depreciating significantly, making it difficult to maintain market stability even with government intervention.

With the prices of advanced industrial products skyrocketing, the Originium Furnace is truly no longer viable.

Silver Ash, together with several major families, mined Originium located in Siergrag, creating numerous jobs and providing a way out for many struggling to make ends meet.

It's just a little harder than before, but everyone can still bear it, as long as they can afford to eat.

But can Siergrag's economy sustain a stable domestic economic cycle?

Money is not a simple matter of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

The Originium veins beneath Siergrag are not abundant, and the concentrators use the most primitive refining methods because all of Utopia's machines are broken down and cannot be moved at all.

The pollution and damage caused are indescribable, and the qualified Originium produced must be put into the furnace of the High-speed Battleship as soon as possible to ensure national security.

These are all fixed expenditures, making it almost impossible for them to give back to society.

My Utopia dares to unleash its fleet, do you dare refuse?

Therefore, it is conceivable that in order to maintain the most basic functioning of society, logging is ultimately necessary.

Pollution from the Originium refining plant, the ever-increasing number of Originium Infections, and the damaged ecosystem.

The key point is that even if all these measures were taken, they could not compare to the economic growth brought about by utopian support, and the living conditions of ordinary people would still not be able to return to what they were before.

Disease, cold, and hunger will randomly select a large number of unfortunate people, quickly creating class divisions.

Now we just have to wait and see...

Meanwhile, somewhere on Rhodes Island.

The Great Emperor and Master Huang are selecting some talented individuals.

"Hello boss, my name is Lemia, or you can call me by my codename Exusiai. I'm good at making all kinds of pies, and I'm also very good at doing odd jobs."

"But what Penguin Music needs is musical talent." The Great Emperor opened his mouth slightly, seemingly unwilling to accept the Lateran in front of him.

The main reason is that Lateran and Utopia have always had a bad relationship, and Master Huang is sitting right next to them.

"Actually, I can rap."

"You're accepted. Also, meet your colleagues: Texas, Lappland, and Croissant."

Whether Utopia and Lateran are good or bad is none of my business, all I need is music!

The Great Emperor wouldn't care about such trivial matters, and of course, Master Huang wouldn't care either.

As expected, Penguin Logistics still needs to be grouped together—no, it should be called the Penguin Band now.

Exusiai had successfully joined the company, quickly received a uniform and happily headed to the dormitory with her new friends and luggage.

The Great Emperor turned to Huang Cao: "Master Huang, why were you staring at that young girl? Could it be that she has a mysterious past?"

Huang Cao: "No, I was just thinking that she will become the face of the Sarkaz in the future, in a sense sweeping away a certain basic impression of this race."

The Great Emperor was somewhat shocked. "This little girl with wine-red hair is so capable, I didn't realize. What impression has she changed?"

"Bust size," Huang Cao said seriously, her tone devoid of any desire.

The Great Emperor touched his penguin beak; the little girl had seemed quite flat just now...

No, it does have a slight curve, and as long as it has a curve, it can easily outshine a lot of Sarkaz women.

But with so many people in a race, there are bound to be a few exceptions; that's not enough to change stereotypes.

"Your the Great Emperor, the stereotype I'm referring to is the stereotype that Lateran girls don't grow after reaching adulthood. Look, this Sarkaz angel will undergo a dramatic transformation in a few years."

If we're talking about epic tales, we have to look at Sister Da Lei from the Sarkaz lore, and our own Sister Lemia.

Exusiai shattered the stereotype of growth, successfully transforming from an A-rank character at launch to a top-tier character.

This was absolutely amazing; Huang Cao was stunned when he first saw the CG short film.

Exusiai has grown so fast! Although many skins have been detailed, the New Energy Angel skin is the most visually striking, and at first glance, it already looks like a large cup.

Huang Cao: "The Great Beast are on their way. By the way, have you thought of a name for the team yet?"

The Great Emperor: "I haven't decided yet. How about we call it Ocean and Land?"

Huang Cao: "The name is too ordinary. Let's change it to one that matches our status."

The Great Emperor: "I was just thinking about it, Zaro, Dolly, you two, stop just standing there watching and come over here and think about it too!"

Upon hearing the Great Emperor's words, a wolf and a sheep emerged from the wall, their faces beaming with obsequious smiles.

Dolly: "Oh dear, our bodies aren't as normal as yours. Don't scare the newcomers. As their managers, we naturally have to consider their well-being."

Zaro's head was floating in the air, clearly indicating that he agreed with Dolly's words.

"As for the name, how about Deep Blue Earth?" Dolly suggested. "Those Great Beast ladies come from the ocean, while these girls come from the land. I think it's perfect."

The Great Emperor flatly rejected the proposal. "My nickname is 'The Great Emperor,' not 'Blue Penguin'! Absolutely not!"

Zaro said, "How about calling it Deep Blue? It's so elegant, it includes both ocean and land—the ocean is deep blue, and the land is deep blue."

Dolly: "It doesn't sound good. 'Ocean and Earth' would be better. Why don't we hear what Master Huang has to say?"

After chattering for a while, the Beast Lord decided to pass the task on to the most powerful among them Master Huang.

Huang Cao stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "The Canglan Tree, what do you guys think of this?"

"It reminds me of something unpleasant." The Great Emperor curled his lip; clearly, he knew about the Deep Blue Tree Project.

After all, those who live long enough will always find some strange and unusual things in the dust of history.

The other two thought the name was about right, and that if the band managed things well, it should last for decades.

Moreover, the main investor is Master Huang.

The scene shifts to the dormitory on Rhodes Island, Croissant asks Exusiai curiously, "I'm curious, you seem to be only half-baked in music, so why do you want to join a band?"

Exusiai replied with unwavering determination, "I want to cure my sister's illness!"

Chapter 698 The Sunset Fade, the Band is All Here!

Exusiai came to Rhodes Island to cure her sister's illness.

As everyone knows, thanks to a certain heartless male angel, Xiao Le's sister Lemia, was shot and is still lying in bed unconscious.

It is also well known that Lateran and Utopia have always had a strained relationship, and the latter is the most advanced country on this land, with an extremely strong medical system that can even reattach your head if you lose it.

Because of the extremely poor relations between the two countries, the hospital in Utopia in Lateran charges exorbitant fees, and the Papal Hall will not reimburse such high costs.

Moreover, the company has been struggling financially these past few years in order to repay Master Huang's debts, so it's already a good thing they didn't ask you for indulgences!

Lemia and Lemia, these two sisters, came from a wealthy family, but they were far from being able to easily access the most advanced medical equipment.

Even if they sold all their possessions, they still couldn't access Utopian medical technology in Lateran.

Other places won't work either, because Lateran people will inevitably be targeted.

Utopia charges over a thousand times more for high-end medical care in Lateran than in the home country, yet even at such high prices, there is still a shortage of beds available each Lateran.

Someone will always die, someone will always have an accident, someone will always get sick.

This land has never been safe.

Exusiai thought that if she, Sankta, could make a name for herself in the entertainment company under Utopia, she might be able to earn money and perhaps even get the Utopias of Lateran to grant her sister special treatment and allow her to use that medical device.

The thought filled Lemia with enthusiasm.

Sister! Wait for me!

While other people's children take their parents' surnames, Lemia takes Lemia's surname, which is enough to show the relationship between the two.

Not long after, several band members from the deep sea arrived in Rhodes Island.

As soon as they entered, the girl band members sensed that this island was something special.

Why do people of the same ethnicity cluster together?

In "Sunset Fade," the roles of each member are very clear: singer Aya, bassist Alty, and drummer Dan.

There's also guitarist Frost.

Among them, singer Aya can be considered the leader of everyone, with fiery red hair and golden eyes.

They could sense from afar that there wasn't just one Great Beast on the island, but rather a group of two or three.

If the band members weren't all clones of Great Beast, they wouldn't be harmed even without their original bodies; they could simply start over in another location.

Otherwise, they would really think this was Hongmen Banquet.

Huang Cao clapped her hands. "Hello girls, you may not know me, but that's okay. From now on, I'm your boss. I've already changed your dorm rooms."

"From now on, you eight girls must work together to contribute to the collective's music cause and pursue your own dreams and freedom together."

The deep-sea Great Beast had already gathered a fairly complete understanding of Texas and the others' information while they were on their way.

As the team leader, Aya tentatively inquired, "So, we're going to have the older members mentor the newer ones? But their ages..."
