However, there's no longer such a thing as the X Organization. Miss Helen's new identity is the Queen of Tarot!
Helen was still smiling. But her smile was cold, her bewitching eyes fixed on Chen Xu, as if she wanted to devour him alive!
Chen Xu was taken aback: "The X organization merged into Tarot?" His mind raced. No wonder the Emperor was so focused on conquering his own Dominion Island to become the world's number one power, even saying he'd abandon research into the Earth's core energy. So the X organization no longer existed. Previously, Tarot obtained the ruins of the Mu civilization and began researching the Earth's core energy. This Helen, since she claimed to have the blood of a previous civilization, probably already knew about the Earth's core energy. For decades, Tarot and X competed, likely fearing the other would master the secrets of the Earth's core energy first, much like the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States… And now the outcome was strikingly similar: the Soviet Union collapsed. As long as they eliminated themselves, one power would remain the dominant force in the world!
However, after hearing Li Da's explanation, Chen Xu realized that he had already destroyed the X organization. Chen Xu never expected that his initial intention in using those two unicorns was merely to cause some trouble for the X organization, but the final result was surprisingly good, completely trapping them and even forcing him to slaughter most of the genetically modified warriors he had painstakingly trained. In the end, he had no choice but to merge with Tarot.
At this moment, Chen Xu felt very proud.
Seeing Chen Xu's smug, self-satisfied expression, Li Da sighed: "That's right, you certainly have the right to be proud... You were just an ordinary person in this world, someone who seemed like an ant in our eyes. But unexpectedly, in a mere six years, you surpassed us, and even, with a small scheme, directly destroyed a top-tier organization... And if it weren't for the fact that we still have the Earth Core Force, which allowed you to come to Tongchi Island, our current strength would be far from enough to pose a threat to Tongchi Island."
"However, in the end, we still won!" Li Da grabbed Zhan Jing and sneered, "As long as we control SMMH, we'll be number one!"
Upon seeing Zhan Jing being taken away, everyone gasped in shock, but unable to move, they were all filled with anxiety.
Zhan Jing closed her eyes and said, "Kill me."
Li Da laughed and said, "How could I bear to kill you? I'll need your help in the future!"
Zhan Jing coldly replied, "You're dreaming!"
"Dreaming?" Li Da laughed, turning to look at Chen Xu: "If you don't agree, your apprentice and little lover will be finished."
Zhan Jing was somewhat annoyed: "What nonsense are you talking about?! I have nothing to do with him!"
"Nonsense?" Li Da laughed heartily. Helen beside him also laughed heartily, saying coquettishly, "Little sister, stop being so stubborn. You, the mighty God of the Internet SMMH, have given all your achievements, profits, and reputation to this little guy. What else could it be but liking him?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
She walked over, grabbed Chen Xu by the collar, and instantly produced a gleaming weapon. Pointing at Chen Xu's eyes, she smiled coquettishly at Zhan Jing and said, "I'll give you one more chance. I'll ask you again, do you like him? If you say no, then this guy is useless to us. He caused my painstakingly built X organization to vanish, I can't let him off so easily. If you say no, I'll gouge out his left eye first, then his right eye, then his ear, and then one finger after another... You choose, I mean what I say. I'll count down from three, three, two..."
Guan Yi and Gao Xiaojie both cried out in alarm. As the dagger drew ever closer to Chen Xu's eyes, Chen Xu himself showed no panic, simply staring calmly at Zhan Jing.
Zhan Jing gritted her teeth, her face deathly pale. When she looked into Chen Xu's eyes, she saw an incredibly calm gaze.
"Okay! I like him! Is that enough?" Zhan Jing said, almost crying, "Put the knife down!"
Helen chuckled, but her words left Guan Yi, Gao Xiaojie, and Chen Xu speechless.
She...she really likes me?
At this moment, Li Da asked on Chen Xu's behalf, "Heh, do you really like him? Don't lie just to save him." He and Helen exchanged a smile, both quite satisfied with this cat-and-mouse game.
"Yes!" Zhan Jing closed her eyes. Two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks: "Kill me!"
"Do you really like me?" Chen Xu suddenly asked. Zhan Jing didn't answer, but she nodded slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Chen Xu smiled as he looked at Zhan Jing's open eyes. Their eyes met, and at that moment, they both saw the emotions in each other's eyes—emotions that couldn't be faked!
Back then, at that first meeting, the girl with a tuft of light blue hair sat there quietly...
Back then, the first person I saw when I entered the virtual world was that girl with a tuft of light blue hair...
Chen Xu had been avoiding this feeling, but after he had Gao Xiaojie and Guan Yi, these two beautiful girls, how could he possibly be so greedy?
And Zhan Jing probably thinks the same way. He already has Guan Yi and Gao Xiaojie, so why should he get involved?
I agreed to impersonate SMMH for Chen Xu. More than anything, I wanted to do something for him in my own way…
It turns out that both of them were suppressing their feelings.
Chen Xu smiled, a very happy smile. He glanced apologetically at Guan Yi and Gao Xiaojie, noticing that the two women had thought about it for a moment and then nodded approvingly and encouragingly at Chen Xu... In fact, with their intelligence, they had already noticed the subtle and ambiguous relationship between the two.
Even though we are all in dire straits right now.
Chen Xu looked into Zhan Jing's eyes and said, word by word, with utmost seriousness, "Jingjing, I love you."
Zhan Jing smiled too, tears and smiles blooming at the same time. This was the first time she had smiled so brightly and so dazzlingly. Her radiance even overshadowed Helen standing next to her!
"Tsk tsk, it's really touching..." Li Da couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to say something.
But Chen Xu suddenly turned grim and shouted, "Shut up!"
"What did you say?!"
"I told you to shut up!" Chen Xu looked coldly at him and Helen: "Do you really think you've won?"
"What does this mean?" A sense of unease crept into Li Da and Helen's hearts.
Chen Xu smiled smugly and shouted, "Erfei, you've been watching the show for free, haven't you?! The movie's over! Turn on the lights and clear the theater right now!"
Everyone present, except Chen Xu, was stunned.
In an instant, everyone's vision blurred. The surrounding scene immediately changed; it was no longer pitch black, but... they were all in a large hall! Chen Xu, Guan Yi, Gao Xiaojie, Zhan Jing, and Yi Shuihan, except for Chen Xu, all looked completely bewildered.
Before them stood Helen and Li Da, equally bewildered, but they still looked like "Grandpa Guan" and "Huang Xiusha." Between them was a huge, sturdy, transparent glass barrier separating the two groups.
Gao Xiaojie exclaimed, "This is the Virtual Fantasy Hall!"
"What's going on!" Old Master Guan roared from outside the glass, slamming his fist against it, but the glass didn't budge.
Inside the control room, amidst the earthmoving in the main hall, a portly young man, his eyes practically disappearing with laughter, chuckled over the loudspeaker: "Senior Brother, that was quite a performance!"
"What on earth is going on?!" Helen was going crazy because they were completely trapped in a small space, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break through the glass dome.
Not only her, but everyone except Chen Xu was stunned. Zhan Jing's face was still wet with tears. She seemed to have thought of something and glared at Chen Xu fiercely!
A smug, overweight voice rang out: "Welcome to the Emperor and Empress of Tarot Island for a visit and meeting. This is the Virtual Fantasy Hall, a more advanced terminal of the Virtual Illusion System. After entering the Virtual Fantasy Hall, you don't need a virtual helmet; you can directly enter a realistic virtual world through hypnotic waves... Just now, you all actually arrived here for a visit, but our monitoring department discovered that the butler's brainwaves completely contradicted the data recorded in the files. Therefore, what you are about to experience will take place entirely in the virtual world. We've also taken this opportunity to separate you all with protective shields... Senior brother, that was quite a show! I have a recording here; would you like to watch it again?"
Were we just in a virtual world?!
Not only Li Da and Helen, but even Guan Yi and the others who are constantly exposed to the virtual world didn't notice anything. Thinking back to what happened at the last moment, their faces flushed red. At that moment, it seemed that the chubby young man had turned on the recording and was reliving it; Chen Xu's affectionate voice blared from the speaker: "Jingjing, I love you!"
Chen Xu roared, "Erfei, you can go to hell!" Guan Yi and Gao Xiaojie exchanged a glance, then laughed and ran to Zhan Jing's side to take her hand. Zhan Jing, however, was already blushing with embarrassment and kept her head down, refusing to look up.
"You're all going to die!" Suddenly, Li Da, who was imprisoned, roared, "Let's all die together!"
Then, Li Da's body suddenly swelled up, like a giant balloon. Helen, standing nearby, paled and frantically pounded on the glass, screaming hysterically, "Help! He's going to self-destruct! I don't want to die! Chen Xu, let me go! Please! I have all the information on the X organization, information on the previous civilization, and I still have my body. Please save me! I'm very valuable to you!"
Li Da laughed maniacally, his body swelling to twice its original size. He roared, "Die! Die together! My explosion using the Earth's core energy is enough to destroy a building. A mere bulletproof glass shield can't stop my explosion at all!"
Helen screamed, "No!"
With a deafening "BOOM!", Chen Xu stood in front of the three girls, not to block the impact of the explosion, because Li Da's self-destruction hadn't even shaken the glass dome. This was a glass dome made of the latest molecular technology, which couldn't even be broken by a small-yield nuclear explosion, let alone a mere self-destruction.
He was only blocking the view of the three girls, because inside the glass shards, everything was a bloody mess. Li Da was completely shattered, and Helen, half of her body blown away, still clung to life, staring intently at Chen Xu, her lips moving to utter two words: "Save me."
"I'm sorry." Chen Xu glanced at her coldly. "You have no value to me."
Helen's eyes lost their sparkle.
Tarot, X, the last remaining leaders, ultimately perished amidst the technological products of the All-Conquering Island...
The Emperor and Helen are both dead. The X organization and Tarot have lost their last remaining strength. The virtual program Mivad was finally captured online by Chen Fei, locked in a hard drive, and completely destroyed.
In a villa on a small Caribbean island, the warriors of All Eat Island arrived just in time. They killed all the modified humans and rescued the imprisoned Old Master Guan and Xie Zhan, along with other core members of the butler team.
The old man angrily exclaimed, "That bitch Huang Xiusha, she actually betrayed me!"
The captain of the rescue team was none other than Wolf Fang, the special forces member who had protected Chen Xu in the past. Wolf Fang grinned and said, "Mr. Guan, lust is a double-edged sword. That woman has been plotting this for a long time... well, hurry up and get on the plane, your daughter is getting married!"
"Huh?" The old man was stunned: "Didn't she say she was going to marry that girl surnamed Gao at the same time? I haven't agreed yet! Besides, if they both marry at the same time, won't the country care about public opinion?"
Wolf Fang grinned, his eyes practically disappearing from his teeth: "That's because your son-in-law is capable. The Special Marriage Act of Tongchi Island has been passed. It doesn't restrict the number of marriages a man or woman can have, but if someone marries more than one person, they need to have their property notarized first, and all of their marital property will be divided equally."
Grandpa Guan was startled: "Holy crap! This kid's amazing! He's managed to give away two-thirds of Tongchi Island's assets just by chasing girls?!"
"It's three-quarters!" Wolf Fang laughed. "Sorry, the bride has been added again, so there are three now."
"Holy shit!"
Tongchi Island was brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
Guan Yi and Gao Xiaojie, both dressed in white wedding gowns, were teasing each other. Outside, all the major media outlets in the world had gathered. This was the first time such a grand wedding—one man marrying three women—had been held in this Eastern country. And all three girls were so charming and beautiful that it made men all over the world green with envy.
"By the way, where's Jingjing?" Gao Xiaojie and Guan Yi arrived at Zhan Jing's room, only to find the composed girl sitting by the window in a daze, not yet dressed in her wedding gown or even with makeup on.
"Ah! Jingding, why haven't you put on your makeup yet? We don't have much time left!"
Zhan Jing slowly turned her head and gave a bitter smile: "Xiao Jie, Guan Yi, I... I'm not getting married."
"Huh?! Why?" The one who said this was not Guan Yi or Gao Xiaojie, but Chen Xu, who had just walked to the door to peek at the bride changing clothes!
Seeing Lian Xu enter, Zhan Jing blushed. She said, "Really... Chen Xu, I... I'm sorry." Before she could finish speaking, tears began to fall.
Chen Xu panicked and exclaimed, "No way, Jingjing, what's going on? Why are you suddenly not getting married again?"
Zhan Jing just shook her head with tears streaming down her face. After a long while, she said, "Before, when I said... when I said I liked you, I didn't know that everyone was in the virtual world at the time, and you weren't actually in danger. I only said that to save you. Guan Yi and Gao Xiaojie are both good girls. It's already rare for two people to share a love story. I don't want to add anything more to it. I'm sorry."
"Jingjing, don't be like this!" Gao Xiaojie and Guan Yi were also anxious. They kicked Chen Xu aside and advised, "It's nothing, don't think too much about it."
Zhan Jing wiped away her tears and forced a smile, "I always forced my way in, I don't want it to be like this... Chen Xu, let it go, okay? Just let me continue to be your teacher, let me continue to play the role of SMMH, this is the only thing I can do for you."
"I don't need you to play this role anymore!" Chen Xu looked somewhat exasperated. He glanced at Gao Xiaojie and Guan Yi, then gave them a meaningful look. The two women understood perfectly: Chen Xu wanted to deal with her alone.
The two women exchanged a glance and then went outside.
Chen Xu reached for Zhan Jing's hand. Zhan Jing tried to pull away at first, but Chen Xu held it tightly, and she couldn't pull away, so she stopped moving. Chen Xu looked into her eyes: "Jingjing, I love you, I really love you. Don't you love me?"
With tears welling up in her eyes, Zhan Jing wanted to refuse, but in the end, she couldn't help but nod.
"Then why don't you get married?"
“But, but I really can’t imagine the three of us marrying you. I’m sorry, I’m very traditional. Chen Xu, please let me go. Tongchi Island is thriving right now, and you’re very busy. Don’t take up any more of your time with me. I’m already satisfied that I can help you in your career as an SMMH member.”
"Busy my ass!" Chen Xu couldn't help but swear, taking Zhan Jing's hand and placing it on his heart. "Jingjing, after we get married, we'll travel the world. We can leave the All-Eat Island business to Yi Shuihan. I don't want to be the world's number one. We have enough money to squander for the rest of our lives. We can't keep wasting it on work! I established All-Eat Island partly to deal with Tarot and the X organization, and partly... for that 'Special Marriage Act,' for you two. How come you backed down at the last minute?"
"I……"
"I told you, on my wedding day, I would tell you my last secret: the true existence of SMMH. Now, I can tell you..."
Do you remember when I first entered university? On my very first day, our dorm room was robbed. My laptop was stolen, so I…”
When Zhan Jing saw Chen Xu take out that notebook from the future and listened to him recount one story after another, she was dumbfounded.
The truth is...unbelievable!
No wonder Tarot, X, and the whole world couldn't guess Chen Xu's trump card... If he hadn't revealed it himself, no one would have ever guessed it!
"Currently, in the Tongchi Island computer room, controlling three supercomputers is a pseudo-artificial intelligence, just like Xiaomin. It was designed by my grandson Chen Fei based on his personality."
"You mean..." Zhan Jing looked troubled, "You just wrote a note, and then the future sent you a supercomputer?"
Chen Xu nodded solemnly: "That note is currently in the vault of a Swiss bank..."
Zhan Jing gritted her teeth and said, "You can go out first. Let me think about it. Give me five minutes, okay? Just five minutes. I'll give you an answer in five minutes."
Chen Xu scratched his head. Finally, he nodded.
