With that thought in mind, Han Fei stared at the plant for a couple of seconds.
Some information surfaced in his mind, almost instinctively.
An old goat was walking upright along the road at a leisurely pace. Then a green-skinned lizard snuck up and cut the plant down. Next came an unbelievable sight.
The plant actually started up a giant slot machine.
"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!!!"
Han Fei shuddered and snapped back to his senses.
"Wolves, and, sheep, sheep, yes, sheep!"
"That sheep with grass growing on its head!"
Han Fei remembered. Wasn't this Slow Goat? The movie version, no less!
"Black Star, this plant may be a new kind of environmentally friendly energy source. We'll need to run tests to be sure, but it definitely doesn't fit with the scientific laws we know. Tell the researchers to be ready when they study it. They shouldn't make a fuss; they need to keep an open mind."
Han Fei gave the order.
"Yes. Which laboratory should I send it to?"
"Send it to Number Zero."
"Understood. The order has been issued."
Afterward, Han Fei glanced at the pool, took off his clothes, jumped in, and started swimming.
Several days later.
As it turned out, the task Han Fei had assigned was completed perfectly.
It was just that...
Rumor had it that several researchers had begun questioning their entire lives.
They were currently relearning physics and chemistry.
Their conclusion was that this might, perhaps, probably, actually be a new kind of energy source.
And it was a kind of practically limitless energy.
A single plant could supply a city's energy needs, and after being picked, it could stay active for about a month.
What's more, this plant could be propagated. All you had to do was put it in the ground and let it grow wherever it pleased.
It absorbed nutrients just like ordinary weeds.
The only difference was that it didn't grow as fast as weeds. It was a little slower, that was all.
If that wasn't limitless energy, what was?
It completely defied the law of conservation of energy.
That wasn't all. This thing could potentially replace Light-Shadow Stones in future interstellar colonization!
"From now on, Green Baby—no, let's call it Wisdom Grass. We need to strictly control the number of Wisdom Grass plants!"
"Classify it as confidential."
Han Fei said this with a touch of emotion.
It hadn't turned out quite as he'd expected.
But this first pull hadn't disappointed him after all.
In his good mood, Han Fei decided to start fishing for bottles again right then and there.
This time, though, he'd try a different approach.
After his first pull, he'd refused to give up. For the next few days, right up until yesterday, he'd used the targeting method.
The results had all been junk.
Today, he planned to simply go for three pulls in a row.
As usual, he bathed, changed clothes, and burned incense as he prayed.
"Spirits of heaven and earth, hear my plea..."
His hand plunged into the washbasin.
Beneath the shallow water...
Less than three seconds later, he pulled his hand out with a glass bottle about as long as his forearm.
He pulled out the cork.
A kitchen knife that looked positively magical appeared, its handle shaped like a dragon.
Han Fei realized what it was almost instantly.
"Heh. One step closer to immortality?"
He joked to himself, set it aside, and began murmuring again.
"Spirits of heaven and earth, hear my plea..."
This time, his hand went into the bathtub.
He repeated the process.
He pulled out the cork.
A rope?
Han Fei stared blankly for a moment.
Then he fixed his eyes on the rope, trying to see what made it special.
Just like he had with the plant.
As it turned out...
An image of someone hanging themself flashed through Han Fei's mind.
That was the very rope they'd used.
The final bit of information surfaced.
"Black Star, take this. To be safe, run a full inspection and follow protocol."
At last, Han Fei walked out of the room.
He looked outside.
A newly built swimming pool, still unfinished, came into view.
He'd gotten used to living here and didn't want to move to the villa, so he'd had them dig a pool here instead.
What?
Too little time?
Sorry.
That was the power of money.
He repeated the process once again.
It took just three seconds this time, too. It seemed that unless he used the targeting method—the one-in-three method—it wouldn't take long.
But...
This time...
Something seemed to have gone wrong.
The moment the bottle was pulled from the water, Super God Universe underwent some inexplicable change.
It felt almost as if it had been bullied, giving off a sense of sorrow.
But no one in the entire world could detect it.
At the same time...
At a certain point in time in Super God Universe...
A body suddenly vanished into thin air.
A silver-haired woman nearby turned grave, as if facing a formidable enemy.
A golden-haired woman slowly flew over.
Meanwhile, back on Earth...
Han Fei had fallen completely silent.
Tell me...
Was it possible...
That, well...
When fishing for bottles, you could sometimes pull one from your own universe? That wasn't impossible, right?
The universe was vast, full of wonders.
Even if what came out was a person, that wasn't impossible either, right?
Put that way, it made sense—no, it was a lot easier to accept.
Just look at what I pulled up.
A silver-haired beauty.
The genes of every Chinese man were stirring.
Han Fei nodded, then dropped the silver-haired woman from his arms onto the ground with a smack. She'd felt really nice to hold.
He leaped backward.
"Armor Integration!"
The Wind Eagle Armor covered his body.
He activated the Talisman's power, slowly floated into the air, and warily watched the person lying on the ground.
To be honest...
Ever since arriving in this universe...
He'd imagined facing off against plenty of potential enemies.
Anyone who'd appeared in the original story, friend or foe, he'd considered the possibility of fighting them. He'd even tried to put together precautions wherever possible.
Among them...
The angels ranked just below the Demons and the God of Death as a threat.
And the silver-haired woman before him was the second-in-command of the Angel Civilization!
Hexi!!
A scientist known as the brain of the entire Angel Civilization, the Heavenly Foundation King. In the original story, she'd reached king-level combat strength—meaning she was a fairly powerful Fourth Generation God with a Sacred Body.
An extremely dangerous person!
According to his original plan, he should stay as far away from someone like her as possible.
So what was going on now?!
