Piao Hong paused for a moment. Then she went on. "According to DreamNet's calculations, there's a 64.78% chance they'll come our way.
If that's the case, we'll have a war on our hands. "
"Considering the distance, it's unlikely we'll have a war in the next few years.
But we need to prepare ahead of time.
That's why DreamNet hopes we can raise the fighting potential of our people.
We need to ignite the enthusiasm of the younger generation.
A battle between God Tier Consolidating Equipment Masters being broadcasted to the entire Alliance would undoubtedly be an unprecedented event.
You four Divine Monarchs are at the top of the god-team leaderboards.
Even if you don't show up today, we'll find you in three days.
These are the specifics. I hope that you can consider the future of humanity and participate in this competition. "
"Of course, DreamNet will provide you with ample compensation.
As long as you are willing to participate in this competition, in addition to the Fantasy Gene Potion mentioned earlier, each of you will receive an S-grade gem as a reward.
You'll also receive thirty percent of the profits from the broadcast.
That doesn't include advertising or distribution costs. Thirty percent is all you'll get.
It'll be enough for you to build your own mecha suits. "
Piao Hong paused. Zeus and Poseidon sank into contemplation.
Three monster planets. The words weighed heavily on their hearts.
The universe was vast, and no one knew just how many creatures there were out there.
Humanity had encountered many of them since the beginning of the Great Interstellar Expansion.
Some of them had been a threat to humanity, but they were few and far between.
They'd never appeared.
They were a threat stronger than a mothership.
But this time, the three planets were as strong as a Bastion ship.
The threat was terrifying.
It could be a threat to all of humanity!
"We're duty-bound!" Zeus replied after a moment's thought.
Poseidon said nothing.
Zeus's voice was low. "I'll contact the other two, and give you an answer as soon as possible."
"Alright.
But please be quick. "Piao Hong nodded to Zeus, and a red light surged on her body. Without saying anything more, she turned around and left.
Zeus turned to look at Poseidon, and Poseidon looked back at him.
The two of them didn't say anything and just turned into two rays of light.
He disappeared.
The simulation pods opened, and Lan Jue and Huali came out.
"What do you think?" Huali came in front of Lan Jue with some doubts in her eyes.
Lan Jue said, "The identity of the DreamNet Guardian is real. It's very believable."
Hua Li's brow furrowed. His handsome face looked a little melancholy. "You agreed a little too quickly.
This matter was a little sudden.
By the way, what do you want the Fantasy Gene Potion for? "
Lan Jue said, "Tang Xiao's Discipline isn't bad, and there's a lot of potential there.
But Jin Tao's innate Discipline is a little lacking. If I don't catalyze it, I'm afraid he'll only be able to reach level three.
I'll have to use some acquired methods. "
Huali looked at Lan Jue with surprise. "You're serious about taking these two disciples?"
Lan Jue smiled.
"Was that a good joke?"
"Damn!" Huali gave him the middle finger, her face gloomy.
Lan Jue's voice was unhurried. "Keep that pose and I'll take a picture of you and upload it to DreamNet. Let your fans see how wretched their idol is."
"Ah Jue," Huali said, "I haven't seen you in years, but you've become more shameless!"
Lan Jue said, "The first time I met Tang Xiao was in DreamNet. He was the one who told me that joke.
I almost got the short end of the stick.
Then he wanted to learn my Excalibur, so he asked me out to meet him.
I beat him up to vent my anger. "
Huali cracked her knuckles, looking at him maliciously. "Ah Jue, I suddenly thought of something."
"What?" Lan Jue looked at him quizzically.
Huali chuckled. "Some people can't use their Discipline well, so I wanted to vent my anger. What do you think?"
Lan Jue's face stiffened. "Let me finish!
With our strength, we couldn't beat him up for nothing. After venting our anger, I also used lightning to stimulate his body.
I didn't expect that, despite his wretched appearance, his Discipline to be so unique. There's a chance he'll evolve naturally. "
"Evolve naturally?" Huali's attention was diverted. She looked at Lan Jue in surprise. "That's rare!
Does that mean he has a chance of advancing to ninth level? "
Lan Jue nodded. "This fatty's endurance is far superior to the average man's. Beneath that wretched exterior lies a heart of steel.
And he's smart.
Of course he knew why I beat him up that day, but he still called me 'teacher'.
From his eyes, I saw a pursuit of a strong dedication.
And when he called me 'teacher' the next time he saw me, his eyes were sincere.
I have nothing better to do anyway, so I'll teach someone as talented as him. But how far he can go is up to him. "
"As for Jin Tao, what moved me was his craziness.
That kid doesn't care about anything when he's mad. His talent may be poor, but when he gets mad he's able to surpass himself by two hundred percent.
He's been repressed for so long that his desire to grow stronger is greater than Tang Xiao's.
I'll continue to examine their temperaments. "
"Are you done?"
Huali crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Lan Jue with a smile.
"En.
Come, let's go get a drink.
What do you want to drink? "Lan Jue calmly turned around and walked out.
"I just want to!
Qi! "
"Huali, you can't be like this!"
"I'll let you fart!"
"Ah … …"
Half an hour later.
"Do you want to talk to Boss, or do you want me to do it?" Huali asked Lan Jue while sitting on the floor in Zeus Jewelry Shop.
Lan Jue leaned on the chair and rubbed his face. His face didn't have any scars, but from his pained expression it could be seen that he must have suffered some inhumane treatment.
"I'll hit him!
I'll tell my brother that you hit me, humph! "Lan Jue said fiercely.
Huali said, "Have some integrity?
Don't complain to your parents like a child, okay? "
Lan Jue said angrily, "You hit a disabled person and you think you have integrity?
How could you hit me when I'm seriously injured? "
Huali blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering like a brush. Her blue eyes were full of smiles. "Didn't I heal you?"
Lan Jue said angrily, "Can you heal the pain in my heart?"
Huali suddenly froze, a strange light flashed in her eyes. "Hurry up, contact Boss!"
Lan Jue snorted and opened his communicator.
"Huh?" Lan Qing's low voice came from the other side.
"You're looking for me?"
"Yes," Lan Jue said, "I just ran into something with Ali in Dreamland …"
He told her what had happened in detail.
After listening to Lan Jue's story, Lan Qing was silent for a moment, then said, "I know about the Guardian of Dreamland. If you've confirmed the other party's identity, then this matter should be true.
Also, this matter is definitely top secret.
This news is very important.
I'll contact the higher-ups and see if they know anything.
As for the open battle, I agree. "
"Okay," Lan Jue said.
"How are you feeling?" Lan Qing asked.
Lan Jue said, "I'm fine, Ali helped me heal.
It should speed up my recovery. "
Lan Qing said, "Okay.
If there's nothing else, hang up. "
"Okay."
Huali watched as Lan Jue hung up and frowned. "If I didn't know you, I probably wouldn't have guessed that you two are brothers.
Don't be so awkward with your brother. "
Lan Jue shook her head. "It's impossible to say that I don't blame him at all. In his heart, official business is always more important than personal matters.
But when he came to find me this time, the little bit of hatred I had for him disappeared. "
Huali sighed. "Actually, he cares about you a lot.
After all, you're his only family. "
"Alright, let's not talk about him." Lan Jue waved her hand, as if to sweep away the suddenly oppressive atmosphere.
Huali said, "Continue the treatment later."
"Okay."
…
"Grandma Bess, I've washed and dried your clothes for you.
Sort them and put them in your cabinet.
I'm going home now. Rest well, and drink more warm water. "
Zhou Qianlin pulled down her sleeves, which she'd rolled up because she'd been working, and smiled at the old lady by her bedside.
The old lady looked very old. Her snow-white hair was just past her shoulders, tied up with a pink hairband. She wore a pink coat with the same undershirt underneath.
She was wearing black pants.
She was very thin, almost skin and bones.
But her pale green eyes were clear and without the slightest turbidity. She sat in front of the window, looking out, thinking about something.
"Grandma Bess, I'll be going then."
Zhou Qianlin walked over to the old lady, covered her knees with a small blanket, and then quietly left the room.
It wasn't until she was gone that the old lady turned to look at the door, a faint red light flashing in her clear eyes.
She slowly closed her eyes and pointed at the air with her right hand. Her skinny hand gradually grew larger, and each fingernail became crystalline. As she pointed at the air, a faint red light wove through the air like silk threads. Gradually, it formed the outline of a figure. Looking closely, one would be surprised to see that it was Zhou Qianlin, who'd just left. The red figure was incredibly lifelike.
"Go!"
The old woman shouted. Red light flashed and the silhouette formed by the threads of light disappeared without a trace.
The old lady looked out the window once more, her expression still wooden and calm, as if her mind was wandering.
Guess who Grandma Bess is!
