Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

At this moment, Wuming lost his previous coldness and could only show the same expression as Roy, while pleading with Sofia to delete the video that could make him jump off the building.

"Sophia, don't worry about him. I'll buy you a gold necklace later. Don't delete it, keep it safe, okay?"

Chapter 261 Nameless: Am I the Second?

"Did I... lose?"

Nameless lay on the ground, utterly dejected, muttering to himself. Meanwhile, Said squatted down beside him, quietly watching Nameless, who looked utterly hopeless. So what if he had just been beaten up? Why was Nameless acting like he was about to die? Was his mentality really that bad? Said thought to himself that when he was a kid, his father used to toss him around all the time.

"Hey, are you alright? If you're not feeling well, why don't you go back? I'm afraid that if you fail the mission one day, you might do something rash and jump off the building to commit suicide."

Said: This guy's mentality is terrible. He's nowhere near as good as Roy. Roy's mentality is the best I've ever seen in my life. Even after being beaten like this, he's still the same old guy, asking me every day if we have any Heart of Africa so he can bring one back for his wife.

“You… I acknowledge you, Saeed.”

"Hmm? Oh, thank you."

After recovering, Wuming thought that since Said was so powerful and had a rather mysterious strategist, it seemed that joining Zero Dam was indeed a good decision.

"Hey, you lost. You'd better listen to me obediently from now on, understand? You can still move, right?"

Seeing that Wuming had recovered, Said walked over and reached out his hand, and Wuming was immediately helped up.

"Yeah, you're the boss, what do you need me to do?"

Nameless also resigned himself to his fate. It was a fact that he couldn't beat Said. He had been too arrogant before. It seemed that the leaders in the Asara region weren't as bad as he thought. It seemed that the leader he killed before was indeed a piece of trash.

"Come on, now that you've joined us, you're part of our dam. Hmm, your skills are indeed excellent; you could rank second here. Come on, I, as the leader, will personally take you to your dormitory and give you a proper introduction to our Zero Dam."

Seeing the nameless figure become "obedient" in front of him, Said nodded in satisfaction. That's more like it. Isn't it better to be well-behaved? I wonder if he's as smart as me. If he is... I'll hand over my homework to him. It's normal for the second-in-command to help the first-in-command with his homework, right?

But if someone isn't as smart as him, Sayed says he'll have another study partner. How can someone with such strength be without intelligence? They must undergo the baptism of advanced mathematics from China together.

Sofia: What are you thinking! I'm still self-studying advanced mathematics in China. You should go and study those Chinese high school math textbooks first, you slacker.

"Is this really a dam? How come it's different from the information we received from Hafk?"

Nameless followed behind Said, heading towards the newly built staff dormitory on the dam. This area was now under Abel's management. He wondered if Abel would cry when he told him that Said's combat strength had risen to fourth place.

What? You're asking who's third? Zhang Hao, who's currently in the Special Operations Department with a crying face, will tell you the answer.

"Hmph, you still have intelligence from Hafk's side, but what good is Hafk's outdated intelligence? Do you even understand the power of our dam working class? We are communists, not something the Hafk group can fathom. At most, they only know about the situation on Reis's side."

Said also began to tell Wuming about the management and development plan that Zhang Hao had previously told him, as well as the things that Zhang Hao had taught him in the political books he had been reading recently.

After being impacted by this set of revolutionary culture, our nameless person couldn't help but begin to re-examine the rapidly developing No. 0 Dam in front of them.

"We're here. This is our newly built staff dormitory. Because we couldn't get an elevator, the lower floors were given to elderly people with mobility issues. You, as a young person, will live on the top floor. You don't have any objections, do you?"

Said also brought Wuming to their newly built dormitory building. Wuming looked at the building in front of him, which was full of Asara style, and nodded silently. Although it didn't look as good as Hafk's, he would just consider it as experiencing the Asara style.

"Hey! Abel, come here for a second, let me introduce you to someone!"

Saeed also saw Abel not far away and quickly waved him over.

"Hmm? Commander Said, who is this gentleman next to you?"

Abel: Wow, where did this person come from? He looks all high-tech.

"This is Wuming, just a defeated opponent of mine. By the way, this person was recommended by Xiao Hao. I made a prediction for you: you'll be the fourth-ranked person in the dam from now on. Aren't you happy?"

"Sir, this joke is not funny at all."

"Hey, it's been so long since you've held that shield of yours. Just be a proper civil servant, you know? There aren't many literate people on the dam to begin with. Go get him a room on the 6th floor later, you know? From now on, he'll be a part of our dam. Do you guys want to have a chat?"

"Um... Hello, I'm Abel. If you're new here and there's anything you don't know, feel free to ask me."

After Abel finished speaking, he extended his hand. Wuming originally intended to just nod and let it go, but when he saw Said looking in their direction, he reluctantly reached out and shook hands with Abel.

Abel: Wow, so aloof, so cool. I want to be like that next time a new person comes.

"Alright, alright, let's go look at the others first. You go get back to work. Remember to ask the kitchen to prepare an extra dish for lunch to welcome the new member."

"No...no need, I don't like that atmosphere."

Wuming quickly spoke up to stop him. He had previously thought that this Said was a cold and aloof type like himself, but now he realized that Said was actually quite arrogant. If he really had to show his face in front of so many people, he might as well just jump out of a window.

Saeed: If you've been a leader for so many years, you wouldn't be socially awkward. Even if you were, you could manage to overcome it. How could you be socially awkward when so many people are watching you?

"Okay, okay, then bring the food to my office later, okay? We'll eat together."

After saying that, Sayyid led the nameless man on a tour of his proudest work, the dam's fields, which had consumed countless hours of his life!

"Young man, are you surprised? Praise me! This is the field I've poured countless hours of effort into, and it will yield a bountiful harvest this autumn!!!"

Chapter 262 Said: I'm just keeping a low profile

With a proud expression, Said introduced the "oasis" he had created in the sandy desert of Asara to Wuming. By the time of the autumn harvest, the grain would be enough to sustain them through the winter. In addition, the land that was still being reclaimed and greened was still being cultivated. Even Wuming was slightly shocked.

"All of this? You guys were the ones who caused this?"

"Of course, do you know how difficult it is to cultivate such a large piece of land in this desert? Half of the money for our dam was spent here, but we have now survived the most difficult period. During that time, it was fortunate that Reis next door helped me draw a lot of firepower, which allowed me to develop in peace."

"Didn't you put the majority of your resources into military matters? You know, even though your dam is poor, it's still a hot commodity in the eyes of some people. Having the ability to defend yourself should be the priority, right?"

"We also have two heavy tanks, five light tanks, one reconnaissance helicopter, ten troop carriers, five anti-aircraft vehicles, and Asara's largest force here. Is that enough? If you insist on saying we don't have missiles, then I'll accept it, but apart from the Hafk Group, which has missile strike capabilities, there's nowhere else here, right?"

After Said finished speaking, Wuming's eyes lit up. Missiles were indeed an important strategic point, but it was impossible to launch missiles at Asara at will unless Hafk and Asara completely broke off relations. So it seemed that Said's forces were indeed the strongest in the Asara region.

Reis: Hey, hey, hey, those heavy weapons I ordered haven't arrived yet. Otherwise, I'd show you what the allure of money is. Damn it, everyone's ordering five sets right away. Hafk? Hafk is nothing. In a little while, I'll be ascending the throne!

"Where did you get so many weapons? Didn't you say you used half of your money to develop this land?"

"But...you didn't ask me how much money I actually have!"

After hearing this, Wuming took a step back and began to re-examine the King of the Dam in front of him.

After another careful observation, Wuming said, puzzled:

"You're such a country bumpkin, are you really that rich? Why do you dress so convincingly all the time?"

Saeed: (╬▔皿▔)╯

"Shall we practice?"

"Actually, you're quite insightful. The question is, where does the money for your dam come from?"

"Hmm, let me think. We're currently selling our Asara handmade wood carvings and some unique ornaments. Although we don't make a lot of money, it has provided jobs for many people. Besides, there's a railway right next to us, so we also earn money from the maintenance here, collecting rent. In addition, Youssef and Reis give me some money from time to time. Most of these weapons are imported from abroad."

Anonymous: What a clever way to make money! Is this the deceptive power of Sayyid? Dressed like this to beg for food more easily? But you know what, it's actually quite useful.

"Hey! What's wrong with your eyes? I can tell you're thinking something very impolite."

Seeing the nameless man's gaze directed at him, Said glared back defiantly. He had been living and eating with the locals and hadn't spent a single penny on himself. Of course, this new cloak, which Sophia had made for him, didn't count.

"Alright, alright, it'll be almost lunchtime by the time we get down. Let's go back, let's go back. After we finish eating, Abel will take you to your room. You should rest for a few days. We'll start assigning you missions soon. I'm going to go with Reiss to kill that beast Hamk."

Wuming didn't say anything and followed Said back to his office.

. . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . .

"Dinner's ready, Xiao Hao. Are you still playing in your room? Call Luna and Xiaowen down to eat with us."

Inside the Special Operations Unit, Shen Lan noticed that Xiao Hao was still in his room at mealtime and hadn't come out. She called out twice towards the second floor, and then Mai Xiaowen's voice came from behind:

"Okay, Deep Blue, we'll go down right away."

Inside the room, Zhang Hao was cornered by the two men and, with a bitter expression, recounted his entire experience of meeting Claire and how she was tricked by Rometheus into running away.

"Oh? Xiao Hao, you mean you couldn't resist because she's very strong? Then how did you push her away when Rometheus found you before?"

Seeing Luna closing in step by step, Zhang Hao was on the verge of tears. What was Claire doing? Why did she have to provoke Luna? Did she think he was having too easy a life?

"Hey Luna, are you done asking questions? Deep Blue is calling us down for dinner."

"Hmph, since you've already said it, I'll let you off this time. But next time, don't play with Claire too much, okay? Playing with idiots will make you stupid too."

Zhang Hao: Waaaaah, Uncle Shenlan, don't worry, I'll definitely take care of you when you get old. You're like my dad in this world! o(TヘTo)

At the dinner table, Shen Lan suddenly asked Zhang Hao:

"Xiao Hao, you said before that Said and Reis would team up to target Hamk, right?"

Zhang Hao nodded. What's going on? Does GTI's higher-ups also want to take action against Hamk? Just how much trouble does Hamk cause? It seems he's offended everyone on Asara's side.

"Then he's completely finished. The spies planted in Hafk by the higher-ups have sent back intelligence saying that the Hafk Group is also going to take action against Hamk soon. If the three parties join forces, I think Hamk probably won't even last a day."

"Huh?! Wasn't his tank given to him by the Hafk Group? How come the Hafk Group is now getting involved and trying to take him down?"

It was rare for Wei Long to be attracted by this news, so he slowed down his eating speed, and Roy took advantage of this gap to launch a frantic attack on the braised pork ribs in front of Wei Long.

“Weilong, you weren’t here yet, right? I remember I told you before about the huge explosion that occurred when the Hafk Group held a press conference. It was after that that Demulan became the safety director of the space base.”

"Uh, I know, but what does this have to do with Hamk?"

"It was after that explosion that Demulan took the hit of the bomb to protect a high-ranking member of his team. The mastermind behind that explosion was Hamk, who was considered the strongest person after Yousef at the time. However, after being sanctioned by the Hamk Group, Reis began to show his face in public."

Wei Long: 666, this guy is a complete idiot, no wonder he's being hunted down by three forces.

Chapter 263 Encouraging Learning (Bonus Chapter)

(Thanks to Li Du, who loves lettuce and rice crackers, for the extra update!)

"What? You said you wanted to come find me?"

Early the next morning, Zhang Hao received a call from [Zero]. Had he had a falling out with Uncle Rometheus? Why did he suddenly want to come see him?

"Or you can come to me. I don't know what's wrong with Rometheus. Last night he came to my room with a huge pile of books and said he wanted to teach me how to study."

“【Zero】, listen to me, this book is good stuff, we have to learn it. Look, you have Uncle Rometheus teaching you personally, you'll definitely learn it very quickly.”

[Zero]: Can you please stop laughing when you say that? I've never seen anyone like you.

"You come to class with me. I can't handle Rometheus alone, he's too noisy. You come to class too, or I'll come find you."

Zhang Hao was about to try and persuade him a little more, but then Rometheus's voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Xiao Hao, look, my good son is just waiting for you to come. Don't worry, since I didn't intend to cram that knowledge into [Zero] when I created him, I now have a very strong obligation to teach him knowledge, and I'll teach you as well."

Zhang Hao: Hmph, I've endured countless tortures from Sister Xiaowen, like sneaking my phone to take pictures of the questions in the middle of the night, writing the words for tomorrow's dictation on the front page beforehand, and begging Sister Xiaowen to let me off the hook. I barely made it through, and you guys actually want to drag me back to go through it all again? Sorry, I refuse!

"【Zero】Come if you want, but remember to drive a car that won't be monitored by the Hafk Group. Also, don't tell Uncle Rometheus the coordinates when you go back. Let him continue being a lonely old man."

Rometheus: Waaaaah, why did my Zero learn from Xiao Hao? This kid doesn't study, what if he becomes illiterate?! (;???Д??`)

"Waaaaah, I was wrong, my dear. Daddy won't force you anymore. Don't run away again. I'm doing this for your own good. Sigh! You'll understand later."

Zhang Hao: Uh... Are all parents in the world like this?

"By the way, [Zero], could you give the phone to Uncle Rometheus? I have something to say to him."

I heard that Zero also handed the phone to Rometheus:

"Hey, Xiao Hao, are you planning to stay at my place for a few days? I'll ask Ella to prepare some good dishes for you!"

“Without Uncle Rometheus, I would have just returned. I wasn’t thinking of going back. But didn’t you say you wanted to persuade Nameless to join GTI? I failed. As soon as he heard you say you wanted him to join GTI, he immediately joined the Asara Guard.”

Rometheus: ...................

"Xiao Hao, didn't you explain something to him clearly? How could he have joined Asara as soon as he heard me? This... this is unlikely, isn't it?"

But what Zhang Hao said next was like a sharp blade piercing straight into Rometheus's heart.

"How could that be, Uncle Rometheus? I told him exactly what you told me before, word for word. I even emphasized that it was you, Uncle Rometheus, who made him sell some of Hafk's information to join GTI. So this is entirely your own problem."

"Then...then him, sigh! Why are all the kids around me problem children? Can't they just listen to the advice of those who have been through it all? They all act on impulse, sigh!"

Rometheus felt exhausted. Although he might seem a bit unreliable, he had lived for quite some time, and his judgment wasn't that bad. The only problem was that he couldn't just leave the Hafk Group easily.

"By the way, Xiao Hao, do you know that Wuming joined Asara's team?"

Rometheus, thinking of Nameless's shabby eyes, which were just like his bastard father's, asked curiously, "Don't let him go to that poor bastard Said's place. If his equipment breaks, he won't have any money to repair it."

Said: I'm not saying anything because you're right, but which of these leaders in Asara can repair Nameless's equipment? You just know how to say my dam is poor, huh? You better pray you don't get hit by our Asara-specific missiles in the future.

"Who did he join? Said's group, I guess. Anyway, he heard that Said was going to cause trouble for Hafk, so he went there directly."

Rometheus: Good heavens, I really am. Zoya, Wuming, and my eldest son, their judgment is really bad. People say that choosing the right path will make your life a hundred times easier, but you all just choose the hardest path. Xiaohao and Ella are much better at judging people.

"Oh well, this kid is just being immature. Maybe he'll understand my good intentions once he suffers over there."
