The Genius System Without Equal

Chapter 849: I’ll try my best

The rented apartment he used to live in now had a new occupant. The items were still the same, but the person living there was different. Memories from the past began appearing in his mind. Visions of him fooling around with Zhang Dashan, the images of him hanging out with Feng Wuhen’s five brothers at the balcony—all those memories flashed across his mind like the passage of a movie. He had mixed feelings, and it felt like he had traveled through time and returned to the past.

Crack! Crack!

Suddenly, there was a loud rumble coming from the enormous crack in the middle of the ninety-six-story building. The entire building split in two and collapsed onto one side with a thunderous crash. The building turned into a massive pile of smashed bricks, and debris spread all over the ground.

Xiao Luo rose to the sky and stared blankly at the collapsed building. It turned out that Xiao Luo was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. The building was already highly unstable, and all it took was the added weight from Xiao Luo for it to come crashing down.

He exhaled as he looked away from the rubble, confirmed his bearings, then flew toward the west suburb area of Jiangcheng. There was a stretch of mountains there, and the secret base that Tian Zhenxing had mentioned was hidden within one of the mountains there. Other than the various Hua Nation personnel, who were in charge of different bases, no one else knew its location.

Xiao Luo arrived at the secret base in a couple of breaths.

It was hidden atop a secluded conical mountain that stood like a silent giant about a kilometer above sea level. They had dug into the mountain and constructed a secret base within it. It was exactly like an ant’s nest with people living and working inside, like a colony of insects.

The radar had already detected Xiao Luo’s arrival even before he landed at the entrance of the secret base.

The heavy door of the entrance opened up. The director of NSA, Gu Zhanguo, and Dongfang Shuoyu walked out to greet him. Beside them stood King Kong and Lady Poison as well.

“You have… awoken?”

Xiao Luo looked a bit surprised as he stared at the stylish and charming Fu Yiren.

He did not hear any reply from Fu Yiren, but instantly detected a waft of her fragrance. She was already hugging him tightly.

“Mm, I wanted to be with you. I just couldn’t bear to die yet.”

Fu Yiren clung tightly to Xiao Luo. She breathed in the scent on his body with her eyes closed. She could not control herself when she laid eyes on Xiao Luo again.

Xiao Luo patted her on the back gently.

“Let’s go. We will talk when we are inside,” Gu Zhanguo said, raising his eyebrows.

Xiao Luo nodded stiffly.

“Director Gu, you are so insensitive,” Fu Yiren complained as she pouted her lips. She wanted to continue to hug Xiao Luo, but he had interrupted the intimate moment.

King Kong laughed, agreeing with her, and said, “You are indeed a little insensitive. Haha, haha…”

Gu Zhanguo gave a hollow laugh and did not know how to respond to the comment.

“Alright, alright. What is this talk about insensitivity? We are in an emergency now. It will not be too late for you to chit-chat like this when we’re inside,” said Dongfang Shuoyu, without mincing his words.

While Fu Yiren came across as blunt and forthright, she could sometimes be shy as well. At that moment, her face instantly blushed as red as a cherry.

Xiao Luo laughed and walked into the base. As he arrived at the second heavy door, he spotted a girl. She was wearing the NSA uniform and had a graceful figure. Her black hair was curled up and tugged inside the military cap. She had flawless skin with a snow-white complexion. Her eyes were clear and bright, her eyebrows had a delicate arc, and her soft lips looked like rose petals.

It was Ji Siying!

“Mr. Xiao Luo!”

Ji Siying ran to Xiao Luo. She was so nervous that she did not even know where to do with her delicate hands. She rubbed them nervously, and on her right wrist, Xiao Luo noticed she was still wearing the jade bracelet that his mother had given her.

“My mind is at ease now that I know you are safe,” Xiao Luo said as he smiled at her.

Xiao Luo had surprised her with what he said and she immediately beamed as she gazed warmly at Xiao Luo. “I am at ease as well now that I see that Mr. Xiao Luo is safe as well.”

…

Besides the members of the NSA, all the prominent leaders of the country were also in the sprawling base. Xiao Luo spotted some people from his company—Li Zimeng, Lin Chongdong, and the five brothers of Feng Wuhen. He also saw the boss of Chongshan House, Chu Yunxiong, and his daughter, Chu Yue. Then he saw his friends from Huaye University. Bai Ling, Zhu Xiaofei, Ding Kai, and the class leader, Huang Ruoran, were also there at the base.

With Xiao Luo’s arrival, they all gathered inside a spacious office and began chatting happily.

“Brother Luo, my Brother Luo… I am so glad to see you again at long last!”

Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai were ready to give Xiao Luo a bear hug.

“Go away! What do you mean by your Brother Luo? He is our Brother Luo.”

Feng Wuhen glared at them angrily. His hooligan-like mannerism scared Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai so much that the two backed away. The five brothers greeted Xiao Luo with brotherly affection and camaraderie.

“Brother Luo, we have missed you so much. Come, give me a kiss!”

Bam!

Xiao Luo kicked Feng Wuhen, who was pouting his lips and was moving toward him, and shouted, “Where did you learn this disgusting sh*t? Did you learn it from Zhang Dashan?”

“Brother Luo, you know Brother Shan the best indeed. I learned it from Brother Shan. Brother Shan is always teaching us the wrong things,” Feng Wuhen answered quickly, passing the blame over to Zhang Dashan.

Xiao Luo was speechless.

Li Zimeng walked over and called out. “CEO Xiao!”

She worked for Luo’s Workshop at the Xiahai branch, but she frequently traveled between Jiangcheng and Xiahai. When the alien race invaded, she was at Jiangcheng. When she survived the alien attack on the city, she ended up with the rest of the survivors and was brought to the secret base.

Xiao Luo nodded to acknowledge her.

Chu Yue was meeting her first love in person again. The happiness she felt at that moment was something no one else would understand. But of course, Chu Yue did not reveal her feelings and still addressed Xiao Luo in the same way as in the past. She called him a “pretentious d*ck”.

Huang Ruoran had mixed feelings. The encounter in Mei Nation gave a deeper understanding of Xiao Luo. In his presence, she felt like she would always be inferior to him.

Bai Ling was already a member of the NSA, specializing in computer science. She had thoroughly studied the twenty-four offensive and defensive methodology that Xiao Luo had left behind. In terms of computer skills, other than Xiao Luo, she was second to none in the entire Hua Nation.

“Xiao Luo, long time no see!”

Chu Yunxiong said with a smile. Half of his head of hair was white. He looked like an approachable person and was emanating spiritual energy all over his body. Though he was standing in front of Xiao Luo, the high-spirited energy he gave off was unmatched.

“Boss Chu.”

Xiao Luo nodded his head and smiled at him.

“The first time I saw you, I could tell that you were a special person. I always knew that one day, you will reach a stature that everyone would look up to you with respect. It seems like I am not wrong.”

Chu Yunxiong expressed his admiration, and it showed in his eyes. The businesses from Xiao Luo’s Luo’s Workshop and Jin Clinic were already catching up to his Chongshan House. In terms of business, Xiao Luo was already a well-known figure. Since he already discovered that Xiao Luo was a superior fighter, he now looked up to him with a respect befitting his newfound abilities.

Xiao Luo could only laugh, and after hearing that he did not know what to say.

Chu Yunxiong patted Xiao Luo on his shoulder and said, “I do not know if the human race can survive this crisis. But I think all hope of survival rests on the shoulders of people like you. Good luck.”

“Good luck, pretentious d*ck. Whack and chase the invading extraterrestrial being away!” Chu Yue pitched in.

Xiao Luo looked at Chu Yunxiong and then looked at her. With a wry smile, he replied, “I will try my best.”
