I'm the boss because I have a harem of anime characters.

The fact that Morgan and DuPont could rationally and quickly unite did not mean that others would choose to do the same. After all, the Dragon of Desire had planted far too many landmines in America, so many that, according to the Dragon of Desire's standards, the offerings that met the criteria for sacrifice were simply insufficient to meet their needs.

In Texas, the chosen contractors have entered a chaotic battle mode, with two contracted superhumans who are eyeing the same sacrifice fighting each other. Although both know that this matter cannot be exposed to the public, their deadlines are approaching and they must obtain the sacrifice, which has directly led to the situation escalating into a death match between superhumans.

From the perspective of passersby, the two "supermen" were wreaking havoc with terrifying destructive power. A single punch or kick could send the other flying hundreds of meters away, smashing all obstacles in their path, or they could simply lift a passing road roller and smash it at the other.

It seems these two have gone completely mad; the initial restraint has vanished, and all that's left is a fight to the death.

These scenes were naturally captured by passersby and uploaded to the internet, including to the observer's live stream.

The world's attention instantly turned to the United States, because this was a battle between two native superhumans on Earth. In other words, Earth's native camp had begun to have its own superhumans!

However, the destruction caused by superhumans is truly terrifying, causing governments around the world to worry about the social problems that would result from a large influx of superhumans.

Even if such a group only accounts for a few percent of the population, or even just a few hundred people, the damage they cause is unimaginable. They could turn a region into a Gaza Strip under Israeli control in no time.

But while the world was enjoying the spectacle, other countries soon found themselves in a different situation, as similar incidents occurred in their own countries. In a street in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, two superhumans got into a fight, which escalated into a three-way brawl. The People's Liberation Army had already arrived to handle the situation, but the casualties were already a fait accompli.

The good news is that Fairy Yunmeng arrived shortly afterward and suppressed all three parties with a wave of her hand. The bad news is that all three are from the Southern faction and are contractors of the Dragon of Desire. Their deadline is two days later, and this action was a last resort.

Great, now everyone's having fun.

At least the Celestial Empire had Fairy Yunmeng to help them. Although the follow-up problems were already a mess, at least the most critical superhuman conflict was resolved. But other countries that weren't so lucky were plunged into chaos in no time. The whole world seemed to have become a paradise for superhumans overnight. Superhumans were everywhere. Any country without superhumans was considered an old thing that hadn't kept up with the times.

"It was the work of the Dragon of Desire. He signed contracts with many contractors, but he did so very casually, which caused many superhumans to reach the death line of sacrifice during this period. They had no choice but to come out collectively to find a sacrifice, and that's how they ran into this."

The explanation given by Fairy Yunmeng was very simple, but the first three rows were completely baffled.

Because these three captured superhumans are not only from the Southern faction, but their targets are also local powerful and wealthy individuals, or at the very least, heirs of the Ma family merchants. If this gets out, the country will face a Permian-Triassic mass extinction in the political, economic, military, and cultural spheres.

Is there any way to tell the difference?

"There's no way to prevent them from exposing themselves. We can't just find them one by one and beat them up to test them, can we? Or should we have all the officials and businessmen perform jumping off a building from the sixth floor? Only those who are unharmed are superhumans."

The method given by Fairy Yunmeng is very simple, but can it even be used? What's the difference between that and formatting the core of a country's legitimate military and the Three Realms? Perhaps a few powerful figures can make a life-or-death loyalty judgment with the awareness of sacrificing themselves for their country, but most people certainly can't. They have big families and big businesses, power and money in their hands, why would they risk their lives? Isn't that something that lowly people should do?

The central government is in a real bind. If these bad apples aren't rooted out, it's obvious what will happen next.

If a corrupt official with pent-up desires emerges every now and then, what will the people think? How can the government maintain its credibility?

Unless, of course, the Celestial Empire also has its own superhumans who are loyal to it.

Section 60: Rotten? Not even close!

Developing talent is a long process, let alone developing a loyal talent.

Considering that this talent will become an extraordinary being who can take on a thousand men and even make modern weapons despair, the upper echelons of various countries feel that the future is bleak. Their painstakingly built system of internal power succession is about to be destroyed by the cruel reality.

Putting aside other considerations, when a superhuman walks the earth, the possibility of him doing whatever he wants far outweighs the possibility of him being selfless, because that's human nature. Most people in positions of power are like that. Do you really expect those below to suddenly become people who serve the country and its people after they suddenly gain power?

My friend, it's like the proletariat suddenly becoming collectively selfless, striving for progress and being positive and upward-looking. The ones who should be crying are the streetlight ornaments.

Those who are willing to serve the country and its people will surely first eliminate a group of privileged individuals.

Those who are unwilling to serve the country and its people will accelerate their own downfall, along with those who have already benefited from the system.

The idea of ​​wanting everything is fine in news articles, but in reality, trying to do that will only result in losing what you want, losing what you can have, and losing what you absolutely need.

Of course, you should still have dreams, what if they come true? (laughs)

During the internal meeting, the bigwigs of the Celestial Empire sat upright, each with a serious expression. Now, important matters could only be resolved in small meetings, especially since this matter involved the conflict between two major factions within the country.

The Yangtze River divides the country into north and south, a result of the combined influence of politics, economy, culture, and geography. The officials who are now facing problems are either from the Jiangsu-Zhejiang faction, the Shanghai faction, or the Shenzhen-Hong Kong faction; in short, they are basically from the southern faction.

In this situation, the Southern faction certainly couldn't retort, "Putting aside the facts, don't you Northern factions have corrupt officials?!"

Yes, every faction has its bad apples, but the reality is that the damage caused by the Southern faction far exceeds the problems within the Northern faction. You can't blame others for your own incompetence. Even if politicians can be shameless, you can't show your ugliness in a small meeting like this.

The final outcome of the discussion was as expected: those extraordinary individuals who had been bound by the Dragon of Desire would be dead in two days. Moreover, those who had been captured were now in Fairy Yunmeng's hands, and other factions couldn't do anything about it. The only thing left to do was to conduct an internal investigation, especially into those old bastards who had been in poor health in the past but had recently recovered well.

They're really old bastards, after all, they might have sided with the Dragon of Desire.

Until these people truly demonstrate their extraordinary power, no one can determine whether they are truly fallen.

It's so frustrating, just thinking about it makes my head hurt. After going through all this mess, those people will definitely be more cautious and careful in their actions, or they'll choose a safer place to strike.

If it's not feasible domestically, it's possible abroad. Look at the surrounding small countries; aren't they all easy targets?

So a group of retired old perverts actually went to other countries under the guise of tourism to find suitable sacrificial offerings.

In their view, the Celestial Empire has a resident high-level superhuman who is someone they cannot contend with. However, the world is not just about the Celestial Empire. The centralized power of the surrounding small countries is far inferior to that of the Celestial Empire, and there are countless separatist forces in the localities. Targeting the powerful figures in these places is no less difficult than targeting them domestically.

"They're all smart people, so let them be. Anyway, it's the powerful and wealthy who are dying."

Qin Shan didn't care how hard these people tried to find loopholes; the final interpretation was in his hands anyway.

Moreover, the situation in the country will gradually turn into a civil war among the powerful and wealthy. After all, the superhumans themselves can also be sacrificed. Sacrificing contractors to the Dragon of Desire is also one of the ways to prolong life. This system has been a battle royale mode from the very beginning.

Do you think the contractors of the Dragon of Desire can unite?

Naive, young man. Even if there are no internal conflicts among them, Qin Shan can use the extraordinary power attached to them to force them to lose control of their emotions, or after a certain period of time, demand that they offer more sacrifices, forcing them to focus on other similar individuals and help them merge into their own kind.

But what's even more deadly is the Observer Live Room, which should now be called the Observer Consulting Platform. It's a portal website that integrates the functions of Bilibili, Douyin, Weibo, and other internet platforms. Because the website's logo is a golden eye, it's also jokingly called "Golden Eye Network" by netizens.

Although this website does not generate any revenue from creative work, it is absolutely free, so people from all over the world can speak freely on Golden Eye Network. There are arguments and conflicts, but even in the process of arguments and conflicts, both sides will continue to deepen their understanding of each other. Eventually, everyone will start to think about some things, especially when these things are closely related to themselves.

The hottest topic on Jinyan.com right now is the corruption situation in our country, and then things gradually became outrageous.

Although China was criticized for "not being executed for corruption," the world was surprised to find that some of the other five permanent members of the UN Security Council had minor flaws, while others were utterly despicable.

Then the pressure was reversed back into their own countries, causing headaches for governments around the world.

But things aren't going well for the Celestial Empire either. They've already put several corrupt officials to death under pressure, and at least they've managed to do so with some dignity. But the pressure hasn't lessened at all. The Celestial Empire has always had zero tolerance for corruption. If an official's abilities are on par with Heshen, then at most they'd choose to let him die with some dignity. But if he's even worse than Qin Hui, then not emptying the magazines would be a disservice to the people who have lost precious time because of him.

In short, bureaucrats have been subjected to intense scrutiny, forced to accept constant and comprehensive oversight. After all, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever. In the past, they could remove a trending topic, manage the platform, or even shut down the internet, but that's no longer possible. They can't do anything about Golden Eye Network.

Many officials hate Golden Eye Network to the core. If this were in the past, they would have been sent for re-education on a pretext of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble." It has touched the interests of all officials. If you don't die, who will? The value of official protection is really something else!

But times have changed. Since they have changed, we must accept this change. However, the issue of whether or not to strictly enforce the law is still being discussed internally, and the debate is so heated that it looks like a civil war is about to break out.

There's no way around it. This isn't like right after liberation. Many people still have dirty laundry. If we were to conduct a strict investigation, based on the execution standards for Liu and Zhang back then, they would probably be executed with a Type 1130 close-in weapon system.

"Admiral, do you think they'll seriously clean up their own rotting flesh?" Saratoga asked.

“I don’t know, but I’m sure, so I’ll give them a year to consider it.”

A year from now, according to history, the Abyss Gate incident in the capital will occur. If the situation remains the same, then let the bigwigs handle it themselves. I believe they can live up to the expectations of the country and the people.

After all, sometimes the contributions of those who sacrifice themselves are greater than those of those who were alive.

But at that same time, Qin Shan would show no mercy. For the sake of the thousands of heroes who should not have sacrificed themselves in the previous life, Chongfa must die!

Chapter 61: The Nighttime Battle Between the Wife and the Sister-in-Law Breaks In!

(This is the second update for today. Do you guys still have any coins? Monthly tickets and recommendations? If not, even a comment would be appreciated (*cw))

"We can't just wait like this. Richelieu has succeeded; I must take the initiative!"

"The midnight snack is ready. I'll send it over to the Admiral now."

The night is long and I have no intention of sleeping.

It's said that Qin Shan hasn't had a normal night's sleep lately; his bedroom is like a battlefield (sigh).

Although Qin Shan was a remarkable man who had tasted all the delicacies of the world in his previous life, the past is the past, and the present is the present. If you want to treat ship girls as the past, why don't you compare them to when you were still a fertilized egg?

In short, once you've tasted the sweetness, you'll crave it. Now, if I don't hold onto something while sleeping at night, I feel like the day is incomplete.

Shut up, you shameless old scoundrel! Is this your excuse for having women on both sides? Look at who's on your left and right!

Okay (v)c, Qin Shan opened the door to a new world, and that night, he won over his wife and sister-in-law.

You're getting more and more of a beast, aren't you? How can you face the Khan, whom even Yui Shinno couldn't have?! (laughs)

Cough cough cough, that's a bit of an insult to Qin Shan. The reason why the battle turned from a two-person duel to a three-way melee is mainly because today's objective environment has led to a change in subjective consciousness. By relying on human subjective initiative, the objective material world has been transformed, ultimately resulting in an unexpected outcome.

In layman's terms: Richelieu had other tasks today, so he wasn't home in the evening. Then his wife and sister-in-law launched a surprise attack (his wife was there to bring him a midnight snack, mutton soup, you know what I mean (~―▽―)~). Unexpectedly, the two sisters appeared in Qin Shan's bedroom at the same time, just as Qin Shan was about to go to sleep.

Your synchronization rate is so low you could probably go play Crimson Storm.

This scene was indeed very awkward, but as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

"Sister, since you're already here, don't be so polite!"

Without a word, Saratoga launched an attack, pushing Qin Shan back while Lexington watched in stunned silence.

Good heavens! My sister-in-law has turned against us!

Seeing that it hadn't even gotten the first taste of the soup, and that someone else was going to snatch the second, Lexington finally couldn't sit still any longer and decisively chose to join the battle. As a result, the battle situation instantly escalated from Coral Island to Midway Island, and even included the Battle of Leyte Gulf.

It was a scene of deafening gunfire, roaring airplanes, fluttering colorful flags, and boundless energy.

That evening, Qin Shan completed a project worth over 10 billion yuan and won the favor of two beautiful women.

Qin Shan, with the mere body of an ordinary extraordinary being, fought fiercely against two major American aircraft carriers and achieved a glorious victory. This was one of the most glorious nights in human history! (Confirmed)

Since they're already sleeping in each other's arms, they don't have many reservations when chatting in bed. After all, they're so close that they've exchanged genes, so what can't they say? At least the ship girls won't ask you for a male-male pact.

"Admiral, don't forget your midnight snack."

Having just warmed up thoroughly and achieved a harmonious union with Qin Shan, the wife got up and brought over a bowl of warm mutton soup.

Logically, it should have cooled down long ago, but Lexington used her extraordinary skills to keep it warm. Even if it had been left out for two or three hours, or even for two days and two nights, the temperature would still be just right for eating. Truly a virtuous and gentle Mrs. Lexington.

"It's mutton soup, sister, you really are... sob sob."

Withdrawing her right hand that had flicked her sister's forehead, Mrs. Lie looked at Qin Shan with tender affection.

That was the kind of gaze that would make any man fall for it, and besides, it was only natural to replenish one's energy after a major battle.

Fortunately, he was a superhuman. If he were an admiral with an ordinary physique, he would probably have to consider a full organ replacement within a year at most, as there would be no way to save a single drop of his life.

"Admiral, is the mutton soup delicious?"

Saratoga smiled and hugged Qin Shan from behind. At this moment, everyone was completely open with each other, so this intimate contact made Qin Shan feel as if the horns of war had sounded in his world again.

Since that's the case, why be so polite? Even a savior needs to rest, right? Now is the time to enjoy life. We can talk about everything tomorrow!

The next day, as Qin Shan rose from his reverie, Bei Zhai's voice echoed in his mind.

"Admiral, that guy named Banmian has woken up."

"Noodles? Noodles for breakfast? Wait, noodles, that alien's awake!"

"Admiral, did you have fun last night?" Beizhai's voice sounded somewhat resentful.

"Hmm? Beizhai, how did you know? I remember you were busy with Xiaozhai at the island base."

"I went back to get something last night."

There's no need to say more; Qin Shan knew what Bei Zhai had overheard.

Although the room was very soundproof, that was for ordinary people. If it were a ninth-tier ship girl, she could hear the sounds in the room clearly with just a little concentration.

"Ahem, I see. You came back last night. You must have had a hard time."

It was so awkward, so incredibly awkward, in every sense of the word.

"Admiral, come over later, I have a gift for you."

"Gift?"

"You'll find out when you come here."

The wife and sister-in-law also woke up, or rather, they had actually been awake for a while and even knew that a fourth person (a ship girl) had come to the villa last night, but the Lexington sisters were just...

Well, dragging the other girls in here is a bit unfair. Besides, we should consider the Admiral's feelings. There are already too few seats with just two people; are you trying to play mahjong when you're one short?

If North Carolina wants twin sisters, that's between her and Bismarck.

What, you mean Xiaozhai?

Hey! There's a beast who escaped from Loli Island here. Take him to the Federal Penis-Pussing Bureau for some penis-penetration!

It's quite rare that breakfast this morning was ordered as takeout. Qin Shan naturally brought portions for everyone else as well. We'll all meet at the island base together. Currently, Qin Shan's main work is done at the island base, which will serve as a backup home when he settles down in the future.

Upon arriving at the island base in World One, Qin Shan went to find Bei Zhai alone.

"North Carolina, I'm here. Where's that alien?"

"Just woke up. Oh, right, Admiral, a gift."

Bei Zhai handed over an exquisite sketchbook, which Qin Shan opened with curiosity.

With a snap, Qin Shan closed the sketchbook expressionlessly the next second.
