My portable grandfather refreshes every week

Nothing happened in Yujin City that day, except for the Akatsuki members who were secretly developing their own networks there, who were busy with their own activities.

After all, as long as you recruit people to join your downline, your status will continuously rise, and the feedback from this increase in power is countless times stronger than any other incentive.

Furthermore, whenever the Akatsuki recruits someone, the other person immediately gains power, and this miraculous birth makes newcomers believe it without a doubt.

Thus, the Akatsuki organization took root in Tulip City and began to develop rapidly.

Soon, the Alban family discovered the Akatsuki's underhanded actions. After all, Tulip City was the Alban family's backyard, and it was impossible for them not to notice the problem.

"This organization formed by the branch family is quite interesting. Are they distributing bread and water to the commoners for free? Why are they doing this?" The third elder of the Alban family, who was in charge of intelligence gathering, scoffed after seeing this intelligence.

"I guess Roland City doesn't have enough people, so they're trying to take more people away this way," the elder said.

"Tsk, I never thought that Roland's Alban would be in such a sorry state now. Hundreds of years ago, who would have thought that they were still the main family line?" The Third Elder's words were tinged with regret.

Although there are minor conflicts within the family, they are generally afraid of both the hardship of splitting up the family and the potential for a "Land Rover" (a metaphor for a family's rapid growth). If one branch of the family develops particularly rapidly, even to the point of surpassing the main family, they will definitely try to put pressure on it.

But if a branch family was almost wiped out and is now only able to maintain its position by finding a son-in-law for a young girl, they would only sigh and lament, while secretly preparing to provide some financial assistance.

At the very least, although many people died in Roland's branch, they controlled the entire city. If it develops well, Roland City could very well become a city completely controlled by the family, like Tulip City, a hundred years from now.

"That's how it will be tomorrow. Send some of the more frustrated members of the family to Roland City, and provide them with some other supplies. As for the Akatsuki's underhanded tactics of recruiting people, let them be. After all, Roland City's population this year may not meet that person's standards," the First Elder said.

Speaking of "that person," the Third Elder sighed and said, "Yes, that person's appetite is growing bigger and bigger. Now he actually wants us to have an annual population growth of more than 3%, and for each of our cities to have a population increase of at least one million in 10 years. And we can't cut back on the women we have to offer as tribute. What are we going to do..."

"Sigh..." The Grand Elder also sighed.

For some reason, that lord proposed the "Prosperity Plan," which all nobles were required to implement, so that the lower classes wouldn't be exploited too much...

But how can they meet Your Excellency's demands for tribute if they don't exploit the common people? How can such a large family operate if they don't exploit the common people?
As for the "Prosperous Children Plan," it's giving them a real headache. How can a city increase its population while still providing 5 women every year?

Isn't this making things difficult for these nobles?

"Alas, that lord doesn't understand our hardships. Achieving this population growth rate is so difficult, so very difficult!" The Third Elder also sighed.

"We can only take advantage of the patriarch's return this time and have him whisper sweet nothings in that person's ear," the First Elder said, while they themselves harbored rebellious thoughts.

"Is that gentleman getting too old and starting to have problems?"

They had this question because the head of the Alban family had become more and more acerbic in recent years, as if she were going through menopause, and it was even obvious that she was different from the portrait of her when she was young.

This led others to wonder, do gods also grow old?

……

Meanwhile, the Akatsuki organization, which had completely occupied the entire city of Roland, began to accept Xue's arrangement that all those who had reached the quasi-legendary level must go to other cities to develop their downlines.

Originally, Roland City's network of contacts had been almost completely developed. At this point, all the accumulated contradictions within the loosely organized Akatsuki would erupt.

After all, if an organization is thriving, all the contradictions and injustices will disintegrate on their own, and the people under its command will work hard to make a living. However, when development stagnates or is even hindered, all the pent-up contradictions will gradually erupt.

Roland City will soon enter this situation, because the entire city has been occupied by the Akatsuki organization. More and more people are unable to recruit downlines, and as their strength cannot be improved, many people begin to feel anxious and even start fighting for territory and downlines.

If left unchecked, this turf war and the struggle for downlines will only escalate, to the point that these kids who originally hated gangs will become new gangs in a very short time, and do even worse things.

The only way to prevent this contradiction is to allow the organization to continue to develop and grow stronger.

This is the instruction given by Xue's Law: to establish Akatsuki branches in other cities, develop subordinates in other cities, and thus increase power, gain higher status, and better resources.

In that instant, the Akatsuki members in Roland City went mad. They frantically packed bread and rushed out of Roland City, heading towards cities they knew of overnight, all in an effort to get ahead of their competitors in developing their downlines in new cities.

They all gained extraordinary powers, and even when developing their downlines, they could completely eliminate their fatigue. This sense of pleasure and satisfaction from the increase in power...

To succeed, you must first go crazy and charge forward with all your might!
They all carried as much food as they could and rushed to other cities to recruit more people, earn money, and then sell the food to develop even more recruits!

All of this is happening very quickly.

……

Meanwhile, in the space of consciousness, Xue's Law silently moved a little further away from Faust.

However, they all agreed to Faust's plan to possess Harley Alban, poison her, and then get close to Mephisto.

Although this plan was incredibly ingenious, even Xue, who was well-informed, felt a deep-seated fear.

This is no longer the emotion provided by the fleeting sands, but a fear from the deepest part of my heart...

A tech geek?

Damn tech geek!
Possessing one's own female student and then having sex with one's own male student—is this some kind of astonishing wisdom that a human could come up with?

Both Su Su and Xue Dinglu felt as if the universe had exploded in their minds, with countless strange and twisted plans being forcibly crammed into them, as if trying to strengthen their intelligence.

Xue's Law has to admit that Faust is the strongest in terms of astonishing wisdom!
Xue Law admires even this level of ruthlessness towards himself!

It's important to understand that possession isn't a matter of remote control; the actual sensations are fed back to the soul. To make his plan more reliable, Faust didn't hesitate to possess a woman and poison her at point B, thus completing his grand scheme.

With such ruthlessness and decisiveness, Xue Dinglu and his companion seemed like green recruits in his presence.

Faust, the sacrifice was too great...

Similarly, just how much does he hate Mephisto? To the point that he's willing to go to such lengths?
Xue Dinglu was frightened and silently returned to his dormitory in the academy. At this moment, Su Su finally spoke up: "Brother, Faust... he's really ruthless..."

“Yes…” Xue Dinglu was speechless.

Both of them felt a chill run down their spines. They hadn't expected anyone to actually do this, but they both agreed to the plan because it would indeed increase the success rate and deliver a devastating blow to Mephisto at a crucial moment.

Xue's Law even began to conceive of what kind of poison could affect the Apostles, preferably one that would not be detected by the Apostles, or one that, even if detected, would only bring benefits.

However, at the moment Xue's Law is detonated, it will cause him unparalleled damage.

This kind of poison, Xue's Law, really exists!

Bacteriophage (Xue Lingshu Limited Edition).

This is a special mutation that only occurred in the youngest daughter. It is a special bacteriophage that evolved by chance due to the special environment of the Super Iron Curtain and after devouring billions of infected Shub insects.

This special bacteriophage has already achieved symbiosis with the Divine Tree, and Xue's Law, the apostle, once studied the body of the Ninth Apostle, which is essentially in a state of being one with the Divine Tree.

After consuming the fruit of the divine tree, the apostle became one with the tree, essentially changing in the direction of the tree.

While those bacteriophages that have evolved and changed through the cursed blood may not be able to kill the divine tree as decisively, they will certainly be able to affect the apostles as well.

But this raises another question: how can we prevent the apostles from detecting those bacteriophages?
For now, Xue's theory is based on the principle of "Aizi".

The core strategy involves transmission through bodily fluids to maximize the transmission rate. Simultaneously, specific modifications are being made to adapt to the conditions within the apostles' bodies, and to ensure Mephisto remains undetected…

Xue took a deep breath. This was the only way. He would have the bacteriophage disguise itself as other organs in the cell, such as mitochondria, telomeres, or other RNA, so that it could enter Mephisto's body and begin to hide.

The explosion only begins when Schrödinger's law controls their detonation.

To achieve this is incredibly difficult... exceptionally difficult, requiring even Faust, the one who spread the bacteriophage, to engage in a profound and incomprehensible exchange with Mephistopheles...

But Faust remained silent, only saying that any method was acceptable, and that his feelings and thoughts should not be taken into account.

Xue Law: "..."

Afraid.JPG
Even when he was modifying this bacteriophage, he was afraid...

"Brother, are we really going to follow this plan?" Su Su shrank back timidly. What she had seen today was an eye-opener for a child who had become a shrine maiden at the age of six.

Along with fear and dread, a strange sense of excitement also arose.

Faust x Mephistopheles...

No, no, no! Su Su, don't think about these weird scenarios!
She started to cover her face, feeling a little embarrassed.

If Xue Luding knew that this silly witch was having such lewd thoughts, he would probably kick her out of his consciousness space without saying a word, so that these pieces of trash wouldn't taint the magic academy he built.

"Although I'm very reluctant, this is indeed the best way to distract Mephisto..." Xue Dinglu sighed.

Although this plan is so despicable it's practically grotesque, even bordering on the bizarre or grotesque, even the despicable Hughes himself, upon seeing it, would probably exclaim, "Holy crap, bro, that's fucking weird..."
But Faust was right; it was indeed the best way.

First, Xue's Law has always been gambling, betting that Mephisto didn't care about the situation of these small fry, and also betting that he hasn't used the World Authority recently. It can be said that he's been gambling on everything.

But if Faust really succeeds in his plan, at the very least Xue Dinglu and the others will know Mephisto's current situation. Furthermore, if Faust is ruthless and squeezes Mephisto so much that he won't be in the mood to care about anything else for a while…

Although it was still very abstract, Xue's Law agreed to the plan and immediately retrieved the previous bacteriophage samples to begin drastic modifications and the injection of cursed blood.

This time, we need a virus that can truly kill gods; the cursed blood has already begun to smoke.

"Brother, what can we do now?" Su Su picked up the bread again and started eating. Recently, more and more people have been borrowing power from her, so her appetite has increased a lot.

Later on, even bread might not be enough; she might need to eat branches of the sacred tree directly.

"You?" Xue Dinglu looked at the silly girl and said, "You should learn the art of bread making as soon as possible."

The Akatsuki's expansion into other cities was actually hampered by food; Xue's Law couldn't simply open portals everywhere to deliver bread to other Akatsuki members.

He dares to open portals randomly in this world. Mephisto will probably find him in half a day and say, "Hey, 13th Apostle, your days of opening portals randomly in my house are over. Get out of my house now."

His identity and purpose will be completely exposed.

It's even possible that the Mist Council will learn that they are the Apostle who has been hunting down Apostles, and thus begin to hunt them down.

However, the biggest obstacle for the Akatsuki organization to expand into other cities was the food problem!

The method they are using now is naturally to rob gangs, but this is not a long-term solution. Many members who are expanding their market reach are unfamiliar with the new cities and people, and they are not even able to rob gangs.

To ensure the Akatsuki organization can develop more rapidly, at the very least they won't be troubled by food shortages.

Therefore, Xue Lude wanted Su Su to learn the bread-making technique so that she could connect this technique to all other Akatsuki members.

After all, all the Akatsuki members borrowed power from Susu, so theoretically they all have Susu's skill set.

The only problem was that Su Su's skill list was all too vague and didn't help in combat at all; even a dog would shake its head at it.

"Ah... I'm learning, I'm learning..." Su Su immediately revealed a pained expression.

After realizing that Xue Dinglu had been watching her, she put down her phone and prepared to snuggle under the covers, at least that way she wouldn't be nagged by Xue Dinglu.

"Get up and learn the art of bread making! How can you sleep at a time like this?" Xue Dinglu grabbed her shrine maiden outfit and dragged her out of bed.

Su Su once again revealed her pained expression.

Xue Dinglu could only sigh, and said as if he were trying to persuade Xiaolongniang, "Susu, this is very important to me. Although Faust has already made another plan, my original plan will not change..."

"That is to take the vast majority of people in this world and escape, and then annihilate this planet in one fell swoop..." Xue Dinglu's voice came. Su Su immediately fell silent. She knew this plan, or rather, this was the original plan. The development of the Akatsuki organization and the desperate methods of pulling down its subordinates were all for this moment, so that it could take hundreds of millions of people away from this planet in one fell swoop.

Therefore, in order for the Akatsuki organization to develop faster, she must learn the art of bread making so that other members who develop their own networks can increase the number of members without any worries about food and water.

“Su Su, I could spoil you before because we’re friends and comrades-in-arms, and I didn’t discipline you. But now, I have to keep you in check, because the sooner you learn the bread-making technique, the more people we might save.” Xue Dinglu sighed.

He really didn't want to do this, after all, Su Su had already helped him a lot. Without Su Su as his super-powerful energy bank, he might only be able to use the Divine Tree as a power bank.

But Xue Lude was uneasy about the Divine Tree, fearing that those connected to it would be destroyed in an instant, just like the humans in other worlds who were devoured by the Divine Tree.

The divine tree not only devours corpses, but also fertilizes souls.

Just like the Titan civilization of old Grin, they all died the moment they connected with the Evil Eye, and this tragedy happened even before the Evil Eye had woken up.

The Divine Tree and the Evil Eye are of the same level.

Seeing Su Su like this, Xue Dinglu finally pulled out his trump card: "How about this, if you complete the bread-making technique today, I'll grant you a small, not unreasonable request in the future."

"Hmm!" Su Su immediately perked up and asked, "What do you mean by 'not excessive small conditions'?"

"Any condition that won't make me hate it is fine."

"That's a deal!"

……

"To succeed, you must first go crazy and charge forward with all your might!"

"If you can endure hardship, you'll only suffer for a while; if you can't, you'll suffer for a lifetime."

"Join the Akatsuki, and you'll have bread and water!"

Major cities are still being secretly invaded, but the problems of food and water have become urgent issues for many people.

"Boss, we're running out of food. Should we take a break after we take in this batch of people?" Someone was counting the food in the warehouse and starting to get anxious.

This food was obtained after they had just robbed a gang. Although their propaganda claimed they had a continuous supply of food, they actually relied entirely on fighting to sustain themselves. They would recruit a group of people, take down one gang, and then use the stolen food to recruit even more people and take down an even bigger gang...

But even so, there's always a sword of Damocles hanging over your head.

"I've already contacted the organization, and they'll send 100 tons of bread, but it'll take at least 10 days..." The leader sighed, but...

They will not stop developing their downlines. After all, she can now even feel that her power has reached the level of a near-4th tier!

The Akatsuki organization does indeed provide an unlimited supply of bread and water, but this isn't the case for those traveling to other cities. They carry a limited amount of food, and it's not as easy to obtain food in every city.

"I'll figure everything out. We'll distribute all the food from the warehouse and continue expanding our network!" she decided immediately.

Later, when she saw those giving speeches to new members, she felt a little itchy to speak up and went up to give a speech on the spot.

Once, she was just one of those people below, looking helplessly at the esteemed Professor Xue on the podium.

It was that man's speech that gave her the courage to live, and at the same time gave her boundless hope and courage for the future. While shouting "Victory!", she has gradually come to where she is today.

So she immediately went up on stage and addressed her followers: "Gentlemen, although we sleep on the floor today, we can be nobles tomorrow! In our future, it will be a world filled with bread and flowers, not the world we have now. Everyone can become a noble! Victory!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Big Sister, we love you so much!"

A chorus of cheers erupted from below, but she remained unperturbed, saying, "There's no need to respect me; everyone should respect Lord Xue!"

"Oh!"

Cheers erupted again from below. Despite the food running low, the leader still brought out all the remaining food.

If they don't have enough supplies when they take over the next gang stronghold, everything might fall apart...

But now she had no choice but to take this gamble, and she gambled that she could get enough food.

Just as those who knew about the food problem began to feel anxious, suddenly, a brand new spell came from the engraving.

Breadmaking!
At that moment, their faces showed surprise and even disbelief.

At the same time, the quick-witted group instantly understood why the Akatsuki base never lacked food, with a constant supply of bread and water; this bread-making technique was the best proof.

Now, all of them have learned the art of bread making, and even those they recruit can directly learn this art!
This is a true, devastating blow to the nobility!
This situation occurred with almost all Akatsuki members who expanded their ranks. After the Bread Technique was added to their skill list, many of them began to think creatively, and their extraordinary wisdom emerged one after another.

As a result, Su Su soon felt that more and more people were asking her for help. She had just learned the bread-making technique and was now eating bread non-stop.

Meanwhile, Xue Luding was also busy modifying the strongest bacteriophage in Su Su's dormitory.

Time flowed by slowly. Xue Dinglu and Su Su were both in the space of consciousness, while in the outside world of reality, the two lay on the same bed, like an intimate couple. But in fact, they were both disconnected, their souls busy with other things in the space of consciousness.

This was recorded by the members of the Alban family who were monitoring from outside, and they reported it to the higher authorities.

The following day, the family sent someone to inquire about the situation in Roland City. Su Su behaved very well this time, neither humble nor arrogant, much like someone whose entire clan had died and who was filled with resentment, as well as with worry and concern for the future development of the family.

This performance, which seemed to be a natural rendition, stunned Xue Dinglu. He never expected that Su Su could have such acting skills.

At the same time, they also obtained the intelligence they wanted most.

Harley Alban will return to her tribe tomorrow, which will be the best time for them to make their move.

Even more importantly, it must be a single, decisive strike that produces immediate results, without escalating the situation.

This made the three of them very nervous, after all, the head of the Alban family was a near-5th rank, a standard demigod.

At the same time, because of her special relationship with the Apostles, Xue Lude even suspected that she might also possess some of the Apostles' power.

Therefore, upon meeting, Xue's Law and Faust prepared to launch a full-scale attack, all of which would be on the level of the soul, in order to avoid making a big fuss.

With Xue's Law assisting and Faust as the main attacker, Xue's Law would find an opportunity to contact the head of the Alban family, and then forcibly pull her soul into the consciousness space countless times in an instant, and begin to try to stuff countless pieces of garbage information into her brain, even bizarre information originating from Zeus.

This massive amount of junk information would crash her brain, and Xue's Law would repeatedly and forcibly pull her soul into the consciousness space. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Faust would directly possess her.

In this way, the real head of the Alban family would become a prisoner within Xue's consciousness space, while Faust would take control of her body and approach Mephistopheles, resulting in a bipolar reversal.

And taking advantage of this time, Xue's Law must poison Harley Alban's body in a very short time so that Faust can transfer the bacteriophage to Mephisto.

Poisoning at point B is Faust's wisdom, and also a poison point that Mephisto can never escape.

Despite the plan being abstract, unethical, and even devoid of any aversion to despicable schemes, Xue, unusually, remarked this time, "You are indeed a bit extreme..."

But he eventually agreed to the plan.

However, Xue's backup plan was to teleport all the members of the Akatsuki organization away in an instant, and then call on Captain Singal to fire a planet-destroying cannon at this world.

However, Xue's Law will not use the backup plan before the main plan fails, because even though the Akatsuki has started a period of rapid development, the SuSu Connection only has 500 million members at present.

Compared to the billions of people in the world, these 500 million are just a drop in the ocean.

Xue's Law would not have forced the use of this final plan unless it had been completely exposed.

"I hope everything goes well," Xue Dinglu thought to himself. He didn't actually know whether he would come out on top if he used only his soul to engage in an information collision attack with a near-5th-tier demigod.

Faust had great confidence in him because he believed he was an apostle, but Xue Lu knew he was a fake apostle. He had not eaten the fruit of the divine tree, and his true strength was only that of an ordinary 4th rank.

Although he can use Genesis and manipulate the Divine Tree to attack in a battle, his normal level 5 combat power can be guaranteed. Furthermore, if necessary, he will release the Void Authority to erode him, allowing himself to fully embrace the power of the Void.

But in reality, his soul was only at the fourth level.

"Brother, we will win!" Su Su said, seemingly having overheard Xue Luding's mutterings, as she frantically munched on her bread.

Xue Law: "..."

Actually, he was initially confident that he would win, with only a 10% chance of failure. But as soon as you said "you will win," Xue's Law felt like he was doomed.

Xue's Law stopped being superstitious and began to prepare the countless pieces of junk information in his mind. He also felt that even if Harley Alban had lived for hundreds of years, her ability to process information should not be as good as Xue's Law, a college student who had lived for 18 years in the information age.

This is a war between soul and information. If Harley Alban could easily accept Xue Law's collection of garbage information gathered over 18 years of the information age, Xue Law would definitely not hesitate to demonize her, forcibly bewilder her with his illusory authority, and drag her into the consciousness space.

The greatest power of empty authority is to corrupt others.

I just hope we don't have to go that far.

……

Time flies. Xue's side has made all the necessary preparations, Faust is ready to possess a body, and the bacteriophage specifically designed for the apostles has been cultured. Even Su Su is eating like crazy on this day in order to provide power to more people.

And on this day, Harley Olden arrived!
The entire Albanian family welcomed their patriarch as if she were an emperor. As the most powerful and influential member of the family, she was, in effect, the emperor of the human world, the only empress.

However, the head of the Alban family was not dressed in particularly extravagant attire. She wore a lace petticoat and an elegant long dress, and her delicate blonde hair and blue eyes, flawless youthful face, and graceful aristocratic demeanor all highlighted her perfection.

Even after hundreds of years, she still looks like a 16-year-old maiden, as if she stepped out of a classical oil painting, surrounded by a soft and holy halo.

When Faust saw this familiar person, he seemed to be transported back to that day hundreds of years ago.

That day, the girl came to his academy. She was only 12 years old at the time, and her pure blue eyes were filled with innocence and longing for academy life. She said, "Teacher Faust, I will become your most outstanding student from now on!"

At that time, Mephisto was just a lowly apprentice enigmatic, gazing at her with longing...

However, Faust soon saw that during the hymn party, when he proposed abolishing the system of prostitutes and gangs, his former student was the first to jump out and oppose him: "Teacher, your idea is too extreme. It will cause chaos in the world. Your plan is just wishful thinking!"

In an instant, Faust returned to reality. He looked at this most familiar stranger again, but this time she was high above him, like an empress looking down on all her servants.

Faust perhaps understood why everyone had tried to stop him back then.

Harley, will you, who were once so kind, innocent, and pure, become like this...?

"Faust, prepare for battle." Xue Dinglu's words interrupted his reverie.

Before the plan began, Faust asked, "My lord, in your current state, are you capable of stripping Harley's soul away in one fell swoop?"

"We will win." Xue Dinglu chuckled, displaying his confidence.

Although he was still a little apprehensive, and despite being prepared to launch tens of thousands of terabytes of junk information attacks at any time, coupled with the forced absorption of his soul by the consciousness space, he could only say that he had done everything he could.

Now, let's begin to carry out this most despicable plan in history. (End of Chapter)
