Chapter 239: The Puppet's Wishing Pool

Sheng Man clapped her hands sharply, "Ziyuan, you are just too rational, thinking too much. If you like him, go for it. Never mind if the melon is ripe or raw, just pluck it and take a bite. Boys aren't as complicated as you think. We support you. Find a time to get him drunk; I have experience in this area..."

The dormitory instantly erupted into playful chaos, once again filled with laughter and joy. Compared to Tan Ziyuan's over-analysis, Sheng Man was someone who dared to love and dared to hate.

"Wait, wait, my God, my God, look quickly!!!!"

In the bar at Kepler-5 Base, staff members would choose to relax and rest here after a busy day, playing billiards or card games—specifically, the transforming cards with 3D projections, like Mobile Suit Dragon Slayer.

A Youyou ordered a "Black Night Rainforest" cocktail, a local specialty that included a type of edible giant mushroom from Kepler. It was quite unique. On Kepler, plants were sometimes more terrifying than animals; these giant mushrooms could reach heights of five or six meters and release high-voltage electricity. They grew in clusters, yet they had no offensive power during the day and were incredibly delicious.

Polina had dragged A Youyou along; perhaps it had been too long since she had a friend to chat with, as Polina clung to A Youyou like a piece of sticky rice cake. Of course, A Youyou was quite happy too; nominally she was Su Yu's assistant, but she really wasn't interested in business matters.

"A Youyou, A Youyou, you really are my little lucky star!" Polina rushed up and hugged A Youyou, "Do you know? Li Ge is actually in Tianjing, and he has already entered the Mid-Season Tournament. My God, I found him!"

Polina spun around in excitement, and A Youyou couldn't help but smile, "Are you that happy? Tianjing's strength isn't very strong; they might not even make it past the Mid-Season Tournament?"

"A Youyou, although you Moon people are very strong, that's only because Li Ge didn't participate. As long as he participates, no one is his opponent!"

A Youyou was stunned, "Have you looked at Tianjing's overall roster?"

"Ah, roster? What roster? With him there, nothing else is needed!" Polina laughed, "Give me a stronger drink, I want to celebrate!"

A Youyou chuckled, "Polina, in any championship, individual strength is the foundation, but strong team strength is the key to winning the title."

What kind of love potion had that senior fed her?

Polina took a large gulp, and her whole spirit lifted, "I wouldn't say this to anyone else, but since you are my friend, I'll tell you secretly: once he gets serious, no team or rule matters. The gods of the Apocalypse stand on both sides, only the Mawang sits in the middle!"

Polina's face was brimming with pride.

"Who came up with such cheesy lines? I need a strong drink to calm my nerves too," A Youyou said. "A Youyou, do you know Li Ge???" Polina suddenly realized the issue.

"If you are talking about the same person, I might need to get to know him all over again."

"Wow, that's great! Can you help me bring him a gift?" Polina blinked her large eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering.

Puppet opened a blank personal homepage. No one knew who the first person to discover it was. Countless Puppet Fans, when starting their first EMP match, habitually wanted to check if Puppet was online. Since they didn't have Puppet on their friends list, they could at most see if he was online, with no other information available. In this era, personal privacy protection was very strict. No one knew who had inadvertently discovered that a small lightbulb tag had appeared above Puppet's personal avatar; this was the sign that Puppet had opened a personal homepage.

It spread from ten to a hundred... spreading geometrically. In a single night, this blank homepage suddenly gained over a hundred million followers.

It directly broke the single-day growth record for Weibo, and this was without any promotion. That night, all Weibo staff were called in for emergency overtime as the servers crashed. Fans from the Solar System were flooding in frantically. Not only that, although there was nothing on the homepage, the personal homepage had a comment function, and crucially, Puppet had not disabled it.

If heaven gave you a chance to leave a message for your idol, what would you do?

Within one night, someone's Weibo became a place for confessions, challenges, and prayers. At first, there were mostly challenges, but soon female fans entered, and it

became a confession wall. Although they didn't know what Puppet looked like, the girls' imaginations certainly leaned toward him being even more handsome than Fan Liweite. But in the end, none of this could withstand the terrifying "wish-making fans."

"Boss, I'm ranking up tonight, wish me success!"

"Respectfully invite the Puppet God to possess me, sweep across the army, and be invincible!"

"Boss, I'm only 56 points away, please bless me. Once I succeed in ranking up, I will come back to fulfill my vow!"

"Boss, my original major was aquaculture, and my goal was to be a Sea King, but now I've decided to take the military academy entrance exam. I want to become the second-best Mecha King in the universe!"

"Confessing to the girl I've had a crush on for a long time tomorrow, please possess me, God, and bless me with success on the first try!"

In the Dormitory, they were sleeping soundly. The first to wake up was Wuzang. It was clear that yesterday's training hadn't exhausted him; instead, he felt a sense of renewal. This was the result of a solid foundation. This novel challenge had excavated his potential, and Wuzang could feel the strength in his body and a very intense hunger.

Li Hao also woke up. The two looked at each other without speaking, then got out of their light beds to wash up. Zuo Xiaotang and Ma Long were still snoring away; Zuo Xiaotang's snoring was quite something—it had rhythm and even a swirling tail note.

Perhaps the sound of the door closing was a bit too loud; Zuo Xiaotang turned over and struggled to open his eyes, though it was unclear if he actually did, and mumbled, "Who's snoring? Ah, hoo~~~ hoo~~~~"

Li Hao and Wuzang at the door both had good hearing. Li Hao couldn't help but laugh on the spot, while Wuzang to the side was a bit confused.

"You're not laughing at this???" Li Hao opened his mouth.

"Ah, yeah... haha." Wuzang laughed awkwardly. Along the way, Li Hao couldn't even straighten his back.

The Giant Insect training continued. Starting from the afternoon, they continued with the five-person confrontation. With yesterday's experience, the five of them were clearly more determined. On one hand, they had a better grasp of safety; on the other, it was their own strength. With composure, they weren't as disheveled as yesterday. Watching them crying and howling, in reality, they had all seriously pondered and thought about it at night. Mental confrontation also required technique and methodology; it was the same principle as physical tempering—brute force was the most inferior method.

Long Danni didn't come, but Jeris and Tan Ziyuan were there, and Sheng Man had come too. Jeris suddenly felt that this wasn't such a bitter chore; men and women working together didn't feel as tiring.

"Jeris, does your pair of glasses have any special functions?" Sheng Man asked, curious as she watched Jeris tapping away constantly.

"This? It's for analyzing body energy distribution and Mental Entropy Value."

Then Jeris's glasses became a toy for the three of them. Sheng Man watched the six people below confronting the Giant Insects; Wuzang's energy was the strongest.

"Jeris, what is Mental Entropy Value?"

"Simply put, it's the Zone Value, or Z Value for short. It belongs to a type of energy that follows the law of entropy increase, and it is the future direction of human development."

"Oh, then why can't anything be seen on Li Hao?" Sheng Man asked curiously. Jeris smiled smugly, "Gods are not something mortals can peer into."

The three girls looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh; this person was actually quite humorous.

"Jeris, how awesome is Li Hao?" Lu Lingxiao asked, "Tell us about it, so we have a baseline."

Jeris had a very good impression of Lu Lingxiao; this girl clearly had a simple personality, and her spirit was relatively clear.

Jeris pushed his glasses coolly, "Long Danni's luck is truly good. I can only say that Brother Li will take Tianjing Martial Arts to a position that the past, present, and future have never reached."

The three girls were a bit speechless. There were actually many boys around them who liked to exaggerate, but no matter how exaggerated, they wouldn't boast like this.

"Oh, then we shall wait and see." Sheng Man watched the focused Ma Long below; her melon was very sweet!

On the distant Kepler Planet, at Ontario 5 Base, a convoy was preparing for a field operation. Two full squads, 24 mechas, two large equipment armored vehicles, two heavy hunting vehicles, and 5 off-road vehicles—this was an external inspection operation for Base 5.

Inside the armored vehicle were the

inspection personnel. Su Yu and A Youyou were also there. Both were full of curiosity about this field operation. Su Yu was conducting a comprehensive inspection of the surroundings of Base 5; she was deciding whether to continue investing in Base 5.

Under normal circumstances, anyone with even a slight opportunity would definitely be full of interest in Kepler. This was the future of humanity and would even directly determine the political and economic landscape of humanity.

But the Daliven Family was, after all, one of the few major families on the Moon, deeply rooted, and they had obtained some information that others could not. Humanity had gone from being bold and confident at the beginning to being "cautious" and "taking it one step at a time" now. They cited reasons like the threat of Giant Insects and development difficulties, but in reality, these were not the core issues at all.

Humanity had obtained the coordinates of Kepler and activated the "Wormhole" to jump. Everything looked so perfect; everyone initially believed that God had favored humanity. A very small number of people were worried, but they were all drowned out in the joy of the interstellar Great Age of Discovery, until the fleet arrived and encountered its first attack. The Giant Insects were not as backward as humanity had imagined.

Overall, the losses from that attack were bearable and were among the possibilities predicted, but the details revealed were a wake-up call for humanity. Human nature had flaws, but they were not fools!

The scale of the Giant Insect attack clearly carried a certain degree of anticipation. Then the Alliance began to re-evaluate this leap forward, and then problems surfaced one by one. The first and foremost was the Wormhole.
