Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

Upon seeing the Rolex, even Uluru couldn't sit still. He went straight to Red Wolf, took the Rolex, and began to examine it.

"Holy crap, it's genuine! Red Wolf, you're incredibly lucky! It looks absolutely amazing on you!"

Wei Long stood silently to the side, but finally couldn't take it anymore and ran upstairs to his room, sobbing.

"Uh... what's wrong with Wei Long? I rarely see him like this."

Red Wolf waved his hand dismissively and said:

"Oh, it's alright. This is just a necessary step in every man's growth. You know, there are differences between people. Think about it, the best thing you get when you raid a bird's nest is a cow's horn, while I, as someone raiding a bird's nest for the first time, have managed to get so many good things. Could you handle that?"

After listening to Red Wolf's words, Uluru thought about it and realized that he could actually handle it.

"It's alright, it's not like it's champagne, and even champagne isn't as good as the 'Barrel Uluru' that Xiao Hao mixed for me. None of that matters to me."

Red Wolf: Uh... Well, you're awesome.

"Hey Xiao Hao, did you guys also take a stroll around Longbow Valley this morning? What was that beeping sound we heard from the scouting arrows earlier?"

"I shot it? So what?"

Luna replied that the best news from the Super Star Station was that her probe arrow hadn't malfunctioned; otherwise, the problem would have been much bigger.

"You guys went to the Superstar Station? What, is there a bird's nest there?"

Roy asked curiously, "If we had known that, we would have gone to find Xiao Hao and the others. Maybe we could have secretly taken a couple of bird nests to satisfy our cravings."

Seemingly sensing what Roy was thinking, Zhang Hao took the golden bird egg directly from his pocket and proudly said:

"Roy, you shouldn't even think about it. There's no need to dig for these golden bird eggs. They're just outside the nest waiting for me to get them. I didn't go and fight with those Asara soldiers to steal these nests."

Red Wolf: Huh? Could it be... could it be that Xiao Hao is talking about me?

However, everyone's attention is currently focused on the golden bird egg in Zhang Hao's hand.

"Is this the golden bird egg that Roy mentioned before? It really is beautiful. Xiao Hao, can I touch it?"

Mai Xiaowen also came in and took the golden bird egg that Zhang Hao handed her.

"Wow, this is quite heavy. By the way, Red Wolf, you guys have raided so many bird nests, how come you didn't even see this?"

When Red Wolf and the others saw that their ultimate target had appeared in Xiao Hao's hands, they were speechless. To make sure that Wei Long was not thoroughly provoked, Roy took out his phone from his pocket, took a close-up photo of the golden bird egg, and sent it to Wei Long.

"what!!!!!!!"

As the door was kicked open, Wei Long shouted and jumped down from the second floor, running over to take a closer look at the golden bird egg he had been dreaming of.

"This...this is simply a work of art! No, I have to leave even earlier tomorrow, I...I absolutely have to get this golden bird egg with my own hands!!!"

The others looked at Wei Long, who was on the verge of collapse, with shame, and silently felt sorry for this incredibly unlucky fool.

"Weilong, actually I could use this gold brick to make a bird egg for you."

Seeing Wei Long's state, Red Wolf tossed the gold bar in his hand, as if it could be turned into a bird egg. He thought, "Why don't I make one for Wei Long? After all, right now..." Wei Long was practically suffering.

"No! What's made is definitely not the same as what I found with my own hands. I can definitely find it myself. I'm going to the training room. I'm going to practice my speed in taking bird eggs. I'm going to get that golden bird egg, I said!!!"

After taking one last, reluctant look at the bird egg, Wei Long returned it to Zhang Hao and turned around to head straight to the gym to begin his special training in collecting bird eggs.

"Hmm, Wei Long is a pretty good guy. I'm going to keep an eye on him and help him achieve his dream as soon as possible."

Terry looked at the enthusiastic Veelong with a look of satisfaction, and followed him in to help Veelong with this specialized training.

"So, Xiao Hao, you're the luckiest one. You found this golden bird egg on your first visit to this bird nesting area. I wonder if Wei Long will cause any trouble if he goes there every day."

Red Wolf looked at Wei Long speechlessly and sighed, "This is probably fate. If all else fails, I'll have to deal with this gold bar."

"Why go to Longbow Valley tomorrow? We've caused such a commotion today, it's probably about to explode over there. Let's take Weilong to Bakshi tomorrow and try our luck."

Chapter 356 Oh right, Mandel Brick!

As soon as he got up this morning, Reese turned on his beloved record player. Enjoying a luxurious breakfast while listening to beautiful music, he was in an exceptionally good mood.

"Damn, my luck has really turned around lately, hahaha, no matter what I do, everything goes smoothly. Now my Longbow Valley is all upgraded, and after the construction teams finish the Ouroboros District, I'm going to start talking to Youssef about the ownership of Asara."

Thinking about how his luck had been gradually improving lately, Reese began to enjoy life more comfortably.

Just as Reese was about to burst into song, the phone on the table rang.

"Damn it, who's calling me at this hour? They're ruining my fun."

Reis, looking annoyed, picked up the phone from the table and saw that it was Sayed calling. He was at a loss for words.

Reis: Sigh, that idiot Said, well, I guess I'll just have to accept it. After all, he'll be my great general protecting the country in the future.

"Hey, Said, what's up? Hamk is still asleep. I'll call you over as soon as he wakes up!"

"I'm not in a rush about Hamk's matter. I called to ask you what you plan to do with the Mandel brick you left with me before?"

After hearing what Said said, Reis was stunned for two seconds.

Wait, what is that? Mandel brick? Hmm... I almost don't remember it.

But after thinking for a few seconds, Reese slapped his thigh and said embarrassedly:

"Hey, Said, look at me. I've been so busy lately that I completely forgot about something this big. Uh... how's that Mandel brick doing now?"

After saying that, Reis felt a little embarrassed. After all, he had begged Said to keep an eye on this for him, but he hadn't contacted Audrey since then, and she wouldn't even answer his calls.

Reis was starting to wonder if Audrey had gone mad, otherwise why would she now abandon the Mandel brick that she had spent so much money to acquire?

Audrey: Thank you for remembering me, but it's been so long since my seventh day memorial service. Didn't you have any doubts before? I was your first sugar daddy, you know.

"I put it in the safe, it's very safe. Now I see that your Longbow Valley is almost rebuilt. How about it, do you want to take it back? But I have to tell you, you have to pay for the labor costs during the storage period."

Reis: Hmm~~~ That's right. It's always better to be straightforward with Brother Said. He's so direct when it comes to money. Anyway, I have money of my own, so I'll just give him more. It seems like I've been watching Said for so many years and he's only changed his cape once. Doesn't his underwear ever tear?

"Hahaha, sure, I've got things pretty much done here. I'll just give you a box of gold bars. Have Xiaobing drive it over, and you can take the box of gold bars back with you."

"Okay, I'll have someone send it over tomorrow."

After finishing his sentence, Sayyid hung up the phone immediately. Although he appeared indifferent on the phone, his slightly trembling hand after hanging up indicated that he was not as calm as he seemed.

"What's wrong with you? Why are your hands shaking so badly? Do you have Parkinson's?"

Sophia, who came to check if the homework was finished, asked Said curiously when she saw him looking like this.

"I...I just told Reis I needed some money for the labor costs of storing the Mandel bricks, and he...he gave me a whole box of gold bars!"

Said's voice trembled slightly as he said this. He hadn't thought that Reis wouldn't be so extravagant after the complete renovation and upgrade of Longbow Valley. After all, he had funded all the events held at his dam, the outskirts of Baksh, and his Longbow Valley.

Said: Something's not right, something's not right... Hiss... There's definitely something wrong here. I seriously suspect that Reis is being kept by someone. Otherwise, where would he get so much money? It definitely can't be from Asara's side, and it can't be from Hafk's side either. Could it be...?

Said also told Sofia about his idea, and Sofia was both amused and exasperated. What did he mean by Reis being kept? The image... she really didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"What are you talking about? Why don't you just say that Reese has a powerful backer? What do you mean by being kept? Don't ever say that I taught you how to use your language again. I don't have a student as stupid as you."

Saeed: I think I've been attacked again.

"Let's talk to Xiao Hao about it later. After Reese got this Mandel Brick, he won't cause trouble again, will he?"

For no apparent reason, Said's sixth sense seemed to be hinting at something, and Said also had a strange feeling that after Reese got his hands on the Mandel Brick, he would cause another wave of trouble.

"Let's call Xiaohao later. Now you'd better correct these mistakes properly, understand? I really don't know how you can still get these questions wrong after I've explained them to you so many times."

Said: This is the most desperate way to die in the world. Even finding Xiao Hao, our last trump card, is useless now? My whole life has been like walking on thin ice...

After half an hour of torture, Said excitedly retrieved his phone. Soon, even Sophia wouldn't be able to teach him anymore. Once he stopped studying, he would definitely give Roy a good beating to vent his anger.

Roy: (chewing) Are we being targeted again? Could it be that guy, Wei Long? (chewing) Bring it on, I, Roy, am not afraid of you.

After turning on his phone, Sayed also called Zhang Hao:

"Hey Xiaohao, I talked to Reis about that Mandel brick. He said he's free now, so I'm planning to return it to him tomorrow."

"Uncle Said, didn't you ask Reis for something?"

After listening, Sayyid also raised his head and said:

"Hmph, of course I want it. I just asked Reis for a whole box of gold bars."

Chapter 357 Packing

"Another chest of gold is on its way!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao further ruled out some of the forces behind Reis. After all, the organization that could provide so many resources couldn't possibly be a small group, considering that just building and upgrading Longbow Valley would require a considerable sum of money.

Moreover, Said just mentioned that he got another box of gold from Reiss. This box of gold shouldn't be underestimated. It was enough to trigger a war between these leaders before, and GTI might even get involved.

"That's right, I just wanted to ask Reis for his personal labor and storage fees, and I thought he would just give me whatever he wanted, since I haven't run into any trouble. But I didn't expect this guy to ask me for a box of gold nuggets right off the bat!"

Said was also very surprised, but since Reis was willing to give it, why shouldn't he take it?

“Hey Hao, I have a feeling that Reis has someone backing him up. We can’t find anyone this rich in all of Asara. I don’t think even the former King of Asara was as rich as Reis is now. I suspect that Reis is being kept by a sugar daddy.”

Zhang Hao:.....................

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao, like Sophia before him, was at a loss for words. Uncle Said's language skills were truly on par with Roy's. Could it be that Uncle Said had really been corrupted by Roy?

"Hehe, perhaps... perhaps Uncle Said is right. We should keep a close eye on Reis's movements. After all, he seems to be a huge obstacle to our liberation of the Asara region."

After listening, Said also agreed with Zhang Hao's point of view. After all, many of his men had already been tempted by the luxurious treatment offered by Reis. Fortunately, there were still quite a few people who were willing to stay and continue to develop the dam.

Said: Once I get this box of gold bars, I'll renovate our entire staff dormitory. What Reis can give, Said can give too!!!

After hanging up the phone, Sayed personally went inside the dam to retrieve the Mandel brick, and he will personally lead a team to escort it tomorrow.

"Lord Said."

When Asara, the shield bearer guarding the vault inside the dam, saw Said arrive, he straightened his chest and shouted at Said.

"Okay, open the vault door, I need to get something."

Saeed nodded to him, signaling him to open the vault door.

A long time ago, Xiao Hao had instructed him to strengthen the security of the vault. Now, the soldiers patrolling the area are all wearing level 4 helmets and level 4 armor. Although it is unclear why Xiao Hao did this, there must be a reason for it.

After opening the vault door, the first thing he saw upon entering was two machine gunners carrying large machine guns, who immediately greeted Said upon seeing him.

"Okay, you guys keep a good watch over this place. I'll upgrade your dorms in a few days."

Under the almost worshipful gazes of the Asara soldiers, Said went in and retrieved the mandel brick he had previously stored away.

“Commander Sayed, those who took the items need to fill out a form. This is what you instructed me to do before.”

The shield bearer Asara, who had been guarding the first gate, also came over with a piece of paper and whispered to Said.

"Oh, do you have a pen? I forgot to bring one in my rush."

Upon hearing this, the shield-bearer quickly took a pen from his pocket and handed it to Said, asking with some curiosity:

"Commander Said, didn't you say that Reis gave this to you? Is he planning to take it back?"

Sayed said to them as he filled out the form:

“That’s right, you’re very lucky. Once I return this, we’ll have the money to improve your living conditions. Follow me, Saeed, and sooner or later you’ll live a good life!”

Upon hearing Said's words, everyone inside the vault wore expressions of delight. They thought, "Commander Said is so kind! He not only treats us like human beings but also keeps improving our quality of life."

Soldiers at the dam: We are willing to give our lives for Commander Sayed and for the dam!

After filling out the form, Sayed took the Mandel brick back to his office.

"Speaking of this brick, do those people from Demulan still remember it? They even held a press conference specifically for it, but so far, they haven't come looking for trouble here. Could it be that what we have is just a sample?"

Saeed sat in his seat, fiddling with the Mandel brick. To Saeed, could such a small thing really cause a country to develop so rapidly? Was it really that amazing?

Seeing that Said was simply tossing the priceless Mandel brick around like that, Sofia used her aura to make Said obediently put the Mandel brick into a safe.

“You better watch yourself and don’t break this thing. You don’t remember anything Xiao Hao told you before, do you? This Mandel Brick needs to be deciphered with special equipment. What you have now is just scrap metal. But maybe Reis will actually take it to the Hafk Group to decipher it.”

After hearing Sophia's words, Said realized where his strange sixth sense had come from. So that was the reason. He had thought it was something else before.

"That's not my responsibility. I'm just keeping it safe for Reis for a while. If Reis can't handle it, let him go. I'm not going if you call me."

After placing the Mandel brick down, Sayed shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It's like you know how to use it just because you've deciphered it. I'd better just stick to farming with the soldiers at the dam."

"Report, Commander Said, a document just arrived from Reiss saying that the bird egg search for resources will be suspended for the next two days. Recently, some criminals have been causing trouble in their Longbow Valley and knocked out Asara Rocket Soldier who was in charge of guiding them."

Said: Huh?! Could it be... that shameless Roy?
