Chapter 432: Chapter 431 Private Struggle Chapter 432: Chapter 431 Private Struggle “Brother Fang Zheng…”
Just as everyone was getting ready to eat, a groggy voice followed, and the next moment, Fang Zheng saw Tina wobbling towards the doorway. Unlike Natsuse and Midori who were dressed in maid outfits, the little one was still in her pajamas, looking half-asleep and utterly adorable.
“Ah, Tina, you're awake? Come join us for breakfast.”
Fang Zheng couldn't help but smile at Tina's drowsy appearance. Her genetic traits of an owl meant she was mostly nocturnal–lively at night but groggy during the day, which made her look super cute and clueless.
“Ah… Okay… I'm coming…”
Upon hearing Fang Zheng's invitation, Tina staggered over, then with a “heave-ho,” she planted herself on Fang Zheng's lap, turned her head, and opened her mouth towards him.
“Brother Fang Zheng… feed me…”
“You… okay then.”
With a sigh and a wry smile at Tina's puffed cheeks and open mouth, like a chick waiting to be fed, Fang Zheng split a bun in two, blew on one half to cool it, and then stuffed it into Tina's waiting mouth. The little girl gobbled up the morsel Fang Zheng had put in her mouth, then squinted her eyes, lazily opened her mouth once more.
“Brother Fang Zheng… I want more…”
“Of course… uh…”
But before Fang Zheng could finish, he noticed Natsuse and Midori glaring at him from both sides, in utter silence–and of course, they hadn't touched their breakfast at all.
Seeing this, Fang Zheng sighed.
“Alright, I'll feed you guys too, one by one.”
“Huh? Big brother, is that okay?”
“Well then, I humbly accept.”
As soon as Fang Zheng agreed, Midori's face turned crimson, while Natsuse stood up with an unchanging expression, stretched out her neck, closed her eyes, and opened her mouth. Fang Zheng then picked up the other half of the bun and popped it into the little girl's mouth.
“Perfect!”
Witnessing the scene, Aohara Enju swung her right hand forcefully from outside.
“I knew this method would work for sure!”
“Is that so?”
Sitting next to Aohara Enju, Red Dew Firefly looked at her with a somewhat eerie expression, while Aohara Enju nodded.
“Of course, first let Midori show off the charm of a cat-eared girl, then have Natsuse display the nature of a virtuous wife and good mother, and finally have Tina take the initiative to tempt Brother Fang Zheng! These three are all certain to be fatal attractsions for men! The most enticing aspect of little girls is their undefended and dependent behavior towards the opposite sex! Brother Fang Zheng is no exception, I can assure you that doing this will definitely win back Brother Fang Zheng's heart!”
“……Where did you learn all this from?”
“Obviously from the garbage dump in the outskirts, where I used to read lots of books, like 'Lolita Heaven' or something……”
“……Sigh……”
Fang Zheng felt that something was definitely off with these little ones today.
Although people like Natsuse had also clung to him before, generally, they would go about their own activities. But today, these little ones seemed determined to stick by his side. At breakfast, a drowsy Tina also came running over, sleepily opening her mouth to ask for Fang Zheng to feed her. Of course, to avoid favoritism, while feeding Tina, Fang Zheng also engaged in a “feeding PLAY” with both Midori and Natsuse.
Up to this point, he hadn't found anything strange, but what happened next was a bit odd.
After breakfast, Natsuse went to wash the dishes. Normally, at this point, everyone should be off doing their own things, but Tina and Midori just kept following Fang Zheng. One was dozily napping beside him, and the other seemed restless as a little shadow, pacing back and forth beside Fang Zheng.
This puzzled Fang Zheng because normally, the little ones would have gone off to do their own activities by now, instead of staying by his side like this. However, watching Tina half-awake and Midori sneakily glancing at him as if she feared punishment for any small mistake, Fang Zheng wisely chose not to ask.
After all, he would find out sooner or later.
With that thought, Fang Zheng settled down to go through the documents in his hands.
As the ruler of Heavenly Dao Palace, Fang Zheng had no shortage of matters to handle, but at least there were fewer than when he started. Back then, he had to start from scratch, repeatedly drafting and reviewing rules, regulations, and even the division of point redemptions. But now, things were on the right track.
Among the three Free Worlds under Fang Zheng's control, the World of Shana provided the greatest help to him. The Masquerade Ball held great wealth and power within the Void Domain. In fact, all the raw materials used in Fang Zheng's Heavenly Dao Palace were bought from Earth through the Void Domain and then transported by the Masquerade Ball.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been easy for Fang Zheng to meet the material needs of so many Cursed Children.
As for the Ironblood World, to Fang Zheng, it was more like a military barracks. Originally, Fang Zheng had also hoped to find some exploitable mineral resources in that world, but whether it was because the author of the Ironblood World had forgotten to “set up” such things or for some other reason, the Zerg had hardly made any discoveries in this area. And even when they did, most were already identified minerals.
As for the Black World, integration work had already begun. Those Cursed Children were moved from various gathering places to designated areas, then underwent medical checks. Those with high activity levels of the Intestinal Virus were prioritized for transport to the Heavenly Dao Palace, followed by teleportation to the Ironblood World for adjustments.
Of course, many of the Cursed Children were initially uneasy. Although quite a few had heard of the Heavenly Dao Palace, because of the discrimination they faced in the Black World, they were instinctively vigilant about their surroundings, as frightened as cats in a strange environment. To soothe these children, Fang Zheng had no choice but to have Natsuse and others form a group specifically to welcome and care for these Cursed Children, informing them as transparently as possible about what they would face next.
It was a necessary measure, given the Zerg's appearance–without clear explanation, the initial reaction on sight would certainly be…… right?
Indeed, there had been instances when Cursed Children, frightened after being brought to the Ironblood World, thought they were going to be used as food for these alien creatures, causing chaos on the scene. Luckily, Fang Zheng had issued orders to the Zerg not to harm the Cursed Children, and despite some mayhem, most of the genetic adjustments were completed successfully.
Of course, some matters still required personal attention……
“Dong dong dong.”
After Fang Zheng finished reading another document requesting the addition of professional course advisors, a knock on the door sounded, to which he casually responded.
“Come in.”
“Commander, I'm here.”
Upon hearing Fang Zheng's response, the study's door swung open, and in pranced the vampire, grinning from ear to ear.
For some reason, Fang Zheng noticed that the moment the vampire entered, Tina, who had been sitting next to him in a sleepily dozing state, suddenly opened her eyes, and Midori by his side tensed up as well.
“Good morning, Vampire.”
“Good morning, Commander.”
As she spoke, the vampire spun around in front of Fang Zheng, playfully winking at him.
“Guess what color panties I'm wearing today… Want to know?”
“Black, I suppose.”
Fang Zheng glanced under the little rascal's skirt and quickly responded. The vampire giggled, then pulled out a document.
“Here you go, Commander, today's documents.”
“Has the fleet formation for the mission been decided?”
While taking the documents, Fang Zheng started looking through them.
Because achieving the best outcome was essential for this mission, Fang Zheng had put considerable thought into discussing the formation with the Mind Models. Now it seemed they had come up with a plan.
“Yep, I'll be leading ten destroyers and escort ships, plus five cruisers, three battleships, and Unicorn's aircraft carrier… And, if you wish to continue using Iona as the flagship, it's best to upgrade her a second time.”
“Upgrade Iona a second time, huh…”
Upon hearing the vampire's suggestion, Fang Zheng furrowed his brow. He understood what she meant; Iona was currently a Stealth Bomber Ship, essentially a type of escort ship. As a flagship, she would certainly need to serve as a command center and couldn't just go out and bomb things stealthily like before.
But…
“Can Iona's core handle a second upgrade?”
“No problem. Musashi said she could take out cores 400 and 402. As long as they're handed over to Miss Nymph for parallel processing, Iona's computational power can be enhanced.”
“Alright then.”
Reassured by the vampire's answer, Fang Zheng nodded, then picked up a pen and signed his name on the document.
“I'll assign this task to Nymph and…”
“I, I can go notify Sister Nymph…”
Just then, Midori, who had been silent by his side, suddenly spoke up. She looked anxiously at Fang Zheng as if awaiting some kind of judgment.
“I'm very fast, um… Big brother…”
“Then I'll leave it in your hands.”
Although Fang Zheng didn't understand why Midori was acting out of character today, he wisely chose not to pry and handed the signed document to the cat-eared maid beside him. Accepting the documents with a relieved smile, Fumie Busei took them solemnly; the next moment, her figure vanished into a wisp of black mist.
Was there such a hurry?
Watching this scene, Fang Zheng was momentarily taken aback, but he quickly shook his head and refocused his attention on reviewing the documents. The vampire, having completed her job, lay on the nearby sofa, bored, rolling around. After a while, she lifted her head and looked at Fang Zheng.
“Hey hey, Commander, let's go do something fun.”
“Like what?”
As Fang Zheng checked another document, he asked without looking back, and the vampire rose, smiling and raising a finger.
“Like a date? Human males like to take females out shopping, right? So why not take me out for a spin? It's so boring here…”
“Well, I suppose I did reach a good stopping point…”
Seeing the vampire's playful insistence, Fang Zheng shrugged and stood up, setting aside the paperwork.
“Then, let's go out for a stroll.”
But at that moment, to Fang Zheng's surprise, Tina, who had been sitting on the side, seemingly half-asleep, now stood up as well.
“I want to go too, Brother Fang Zheng…”
“…Hmm?”
