"This verification isn't over yet? It's been two hours!"

"Qinghou didn't tell us what this test was, I suspect that the commander is plotting against the boss."

"Let's wait a bit longer. If there's a problem, Qinghou will definitely be the first to discover it."

……

During lunch, Perkins and Rebecca ate while whispering among themselves, and Selena was also listening to the gossip.

When Selena heard the Commander request to verify Wen Ming's skills in his bedroom, she couldn't help but hand over a knife: "Is it possible that the Commander is planning to verify the boss's skills in bed?"

Perkins and Rebecca looked at Selena in surprise, but Selena smiled without saying a word and continued eating.

Let's start fighting already.

Eat melon, eat melon.

But what Perkins said next almost made her spit out her food.

"So, the reproductive module is really usable?"

Rebecca immediately switched into scholar mode: "Theoretically speaking, all the modules of an artificial human are no different from those of a human, so she should be able to experience everything."

Now that you put it that way, I understand what she wanted to verify.

In the original storyline, countless mechanical lifeforms and androids tried to imitate human reproductive behavior, but all of them were ineffective and completely useless.

If Your Excellency wants to confirm that we are not imposters, then this is definitely the most direct way to verify it.

If it were me, I'd probably have the boss demonstrate it in various ways, and even use different methods to test the activity and authenticity of those hundreds of millions of dollars.

Perkins' eyes immediately lit up with gossip: "What kind of test? The mouth? Which one?"

Selena covered her face in exasperation: "What are you all focusing on? Shouldn't it be that the boss is..."

"What happened to me?"

Selena's words were interrupted by Wen Ming in time. The three women turned their heads together and saw Commander White and Wen Ming standing to the side watching them.

Selena's expression changed, then she smiled charmingly: "The boss has gained another capable assistant. I've heard that Commander White's command and combat abilities are extremely strong."

Wen Ming glared at Selena, then led Commander White to the open kitchen: "What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you."

"This is the first time I've eaten food made by real humans. I'll eat whatever you make."

White's eyes held a hint of excitement and anticipation, completely lacking the decisiveness and composure he displayed as a commander.

At this moment, she seemed to have unleashed her full nature, and also seemed to have been infused with more humanity.

It's incredibly popular.

She seemed to be coquettish, charming, and also like a wife having a tender conversation with her husband who was coming home from get off work.

This completely different demeanor from the morning left Perkins speechless: "What happened in the last two hours?"

"I don't know what happened, but I want to eat the food my boss cooks."

Like a little glutton, Rebecca took her rice bowl and went straight to the counter in the open kitchen: "Boss, I want fried rice."

"Okay, 2B, A2, 9S, what about you guys?"

Wen Ming looked at the group of 2B who had been waiting for a long time. 2B seemed to have already decided what she wanted to eat: "Ramen, please."

When A2 ordered food for the first time, the cool and stylish young lady was unsure what to order. In the end, she said, "Ramen, thank you."

9S said, "I want fried rice, thank you."

"Alright, everyone just wait."

Wen Ming quickly took out the flour and started kneading the dough.

White, 2B, A2, and 9S sat quietly at the bar, watching Wen Ming knead the dough and make noodles.

The steam rising from the soup pot, the noisy restaurant, the people coming and going, the occasional ringing of the telephone...

An unprecedented feeling kept washing over me.

This is what real life is like.

The life we ​​used to simulate was so fake.

When the first bowl of ramen was placed in front of White, for some reason, tears welled up in her eyes, and she sincerely thanked Wen Ming.

"Congratulations, you are about to become a true living being."

Wen Ming smiled as he looked at White, quite satisfied with everything before him.

In order for them to be able to live happily in the future, it's time to let Bulma go all out to produce the mass-production T800!
Mechanical life form?
Let's see if Bulma's upgraded robots are more powerful, or if you alien creations are more powerful.

As for where the money comes from?
Wen Ming looked at Commander White.

This is a mining planet that has been abandoned for tens of thousands of years.

This is a completely unclaimed resource!
I'm going to dig and dig!
……

After lunch, Wen Ming pulled White, Tony, Bulma, Qinghou, 2B, and A2 together to discuss their strategy for the NieR: Automata universe. Harley also joined in, insisting on eavesdropping.

"The first step is to take control of all orbital space stations, which means taking control of the entire command and all the androids."

Wen Ming looked at White: "This step will involve blood and fire, so I will send the Blue Queen and the Transformers to help you complete it. Only by completely controlling all the androids can we work together to fight on the ground."

"understand!"

Commander White sat upright, her legs together and slightly tilted to the side, a ladylike posture that made Tony's heart itch: "I can help too."

This mature and sophisticated woman actually has a virtuous wife side?
Isn't that so alluring?
"Your turn is coming soon."

Wen Ming gestured for Tony to calm down, then looked at the Blue Queen: "The second step is for Bulma, the Blue Queen, and Tony to work together to develop a firewall against the Logic Virus, and to investigate the 'backdoor' programs in bunkers and all orbital space stations, so that there will be no worries about the total war."

If possible, please develop a virus program targeting machine lifeforms, to fight fire with fire.

The logic virus was a catastrophic program virus for the YoRHa forces and the bunker. The bunker's "backdoor" was deliberately set up by an android named Number Nine when perfecting the YoRHa project in Genia. This was the most important reason why the bunker was breached by machine lifeforms and the entire YoRHa force was wiped out.

These two concerns must be addressed in advance.

"Look at me!"

Tony had been holding back his anger ever since 2B looked down on his AI last time, and this time he was determined to get revenge.

Mechanical life form?
Watch how I take you all down.

"The third step is to bring Altair 2 from the universe of A Certain Magical Index there and use the space-based weapon 'Large-caliber Ground-to-Ground Laser Cannon' to attack all key military facilities of the mechanical lifeform forces on the ground every hour."

With a maximum irradiation radius of three kilometers and a temperature of 4,000 degrees Celsius, this space-based weapon can inflict devastating damage on all critical facilities of mechanical lifeforms in the shortest possible time.

At the same time, all arsenals will be used to produce the second and third space-based weapons at full capacity, striving to allow all mechanical life forms in the world to experience the power of space-based weapons in the shortest possible time.

In future full-scale ground wars, space-based weapons can also provide powerful fire support.

Upon hearing about space-based weapons, A2 showed an excited expression.

If we had had such a space-based weapon back then, our comrades wouldn't have been wiped out.

Then, A2 shook his head again.

Even with space-based weapons, YoRHa A-type units were originally test units, and their ultimate fate was to fight to the death.

The command needs operational data for YoRHa under extreme conditions to make the next generation of YoRHa more advanced.

"You need to do a good job of protecting Altair 2. So you can use it as bait to continuously lure mechanical lifeforms to attack Altair 2, which will continuously deplete the mechanical lifeforms' space combat power."

Fortunately, we possess powerful missiles from Elysium, which can easily destroy any mechanical lifeform that gets close to Altair 2.

"White, you need to get the arsenal to produce this weapon at full capacity, and then equip it for Altair 2, the bunker, and all the orbital space stations."

"Boss, your plan is absolutely perfect."

Harley casually offered a compliment, but Wenming waved his hand and then looked at 2B and A2: "There is one important reason why you have suffered repeated defeats, and that is the EMP bomb."

In response to this EMP bomb, the first priority should be to deploy space-based weapons to target the EMP production facilities of the machine lifeforms.

Secondly, we need to upgrade the communication modules between all of you and the space station to quantum communication. This will allow us to equip you with combat capability detectors, which will prevent you from being ambushed and will also facilitate your ground combat operations.

Finally, we need to add Elysium's energy shield and Dragon Ball's force field shield to you. With these two shield systems, you can greatly offset the effects of EMP bombs.

These two shield systems will also be equipped on the Transformers to prevent them from being affected by EMP.

Upon hearing that it could increase the chances of defending against EMP bombs, White, 2B, and A2 once again showed expressions of delight.

The boss is amazing.

"In the fourth step, Bulma will go all out to produce the upgraded T800 robot. Your bunkers can also produce it at the same time. Then, the robot army will be used in conjunction with your android army and YoRHa forces to launch a full-scale ground war against the machine lifeforms."

At the same time, Tony will provide you with a continuous supply of weapons.

War is extremely expensive, so, White, you must trade me the mineral resources of your universe, and then I will repay Bulma and Tony.”

White nodded without hesitation and said, "All our resources belong to you, and I will fully cooperate with you in mining mineral resources."

Furthermore, I will give you all the technological data of our universe, which you can freely exchange for resources.

Tony felt a pang of sympathy when he heard this.

Falk.

Judging from this, this mature and powerful female commander is already completely devoted to Wen Ming?

How could it be so fast?

No, I heard it took two hours.

Is this bastard as fit as me?

He must have used the medical pod to replenish his ammunition midway through the journey.

Don't ask me how I know.

……

One battle plan after another was presented by Wen Ming. White, Qinghou, Bulma, Tony, and Harley offered their opinions from time to time, and the plans were continuously improved and then submitted to the supercomputer for simulation.

In just one afternoon, a comprehensive, detailed, and systematic operational plan was formulated.

Finally, when Wen Ming saw White off, he took her hand and said, "Don't blame me for not sending humans to the battlefield. I don't have many combat personnel here, and none of them have been enhanced. Once they have been enhanced and have superpowers or magic, I will consult their opinions before sending them to the battlefield."

At the same time, I will also issue hiring missions to powerful transmigrators from other universes.

"You have already helped me a lot."

White's eyes gleamed with unprecedented fighting spirit: "When I take over the entire planet, I'll give it to you as a gift."

"Be careful, I'm waiting for you to come back and be my secretary."

The tenderness in Wen Ming's eyes made White's blue eyes blush slightly, and his boundless pride vanished instantly: "Don't worry, I'll be your first operations secretary."

Just then, Harley suddenly raised her hand and squeezed through: "Boss, let me go. There has to be a real human to make it easier for Commander White to prove that she has found a human."

"Alright, but you absolutely cannot go to the battlefield."

Wen Ming thought about it and agreed that it made sense, so he didn't refuse.

Harley was immediately delighted: "Boss, are you worried about me?"

Wen Ming ignored her and instead looked at Miss 2B: "2B, you should also be careful."

Miss 2B nodded emphatically and said, "Don't worry, boss. I promised to protect you for the rest of my life, and I will definitely return from the battlefield safely."

Wen Ming couldn't help but ruffle her silver hair: "I'll be waiting for you."

Miss 2B squinted her eyes like a kitten. It was the first time she had felt such heartfelt care, which completely exposed her shy true personality, despite her usually aloof demeanor.

Wen Ming then walked up to A2: "A2, I can't persuade you to give up your resentment towards the headquarters, but war is cruel and ruthless, especially when it comes to the life and death of a race. Many actions can become extreme in such situations. I'm not agreeing with the headquarters' actions, but I want to remind you that you should put aside these resentments for now and take down your greatest enemy—the mechanical lifeforms—first?"

"Thank you."

A flicker of pain crossed A2's eyes, but she nodded rationally and said, "If I wanted to take revenge on headquarters, I would have stormed the bunker long ago."

I know very well who the real enemy is; I am a soldier.

Seeing her trying to suppress her grief, Wen Ming couldn't help but step forward and hug her: "You must come back alive. I'm waiting for you and 2B to become my bodyguards."

"I will, I definitely will!"

A hint of panic crept into the cool young woman's eyes; this warmth once again made her unable to maintain her facade.

Wen Ming's next sentence made her completely doubt that her energy core had been neglected for many years, causing her legs to go weak.

"Don't cut your long hair, you should be yourself."

In the original storyline, after A2 killed 2B, who was infected by the Logic Virus, she cut off her long hair and inherited 2B's will, becoming more decisive and completely overwhelmed by revenge.

Wen Ming's words almost brought A2, who already knew the plot, to tears.

"Also, when you get back, if you want to go for a walk, can I come with you?"

A2, who loves taking walks, has a nickname: "Walking Maniac". When Wenming teased him, A2 finally couldn't keep up his persona: "Be careful, I might stab you to death while I'm taking a walk. That's how I killed 2B in the game."

"A warm welcome."

Wen Ming hugged A2 tightly again. He knew that A2 was the strongest and the most vulnerable among these people, and she always had a will to die.

Wen Ming didn't want such a good girl to lose her life on the battlefield, so he kept giving her more courage and reasons to live: "We made a promise, no cheating allowed."

A2 shyly buried her head in Wen Ming's arms, and after a long while, she finally replied, "Okay."

"Boss, I want a hug too."

Yuan Ying flapped his wings and came to Wen Ming's side. Wen Ming pushed him aside without hesitation: "This time, you will follow Commander White's orders. If she complains to me, see how I deal with you."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Yuan Ying chuckled and landed on Commander White's shoulder: "Beautiful Commander, let's go. Watch me take down those little guys who usually look down on you in just a few minutes."

Qinghou didn't say much to Wenming. She knew how worried her boss was. She waved to Wenming, but after letting go of A2, Wenming reached out and pulled her over, giving her a big hug: "Be careful, the Logic Virus is not simple at all."

"thank you boss."

Qinghou smiled and happily led the shrunken Transformers, along with White and the others, toward the crossroads.

This time, Ninth Brother also went along.

"War is coming!"

Bulma was deeply moved; for the first time, the little girl experienced what it meant to feel melancholy.

Wen Ming ruffled her blue hair: "There will be more wars like this in the future. Just like your world, there is no war, but there are things more cruel than war, such as Piccolo Daimaō, Saiyans, Frieza, Androids, and Majin Buu."

Any one of them would be more terrifying than the entire army of the NieR: Automata universe combined.

A resolute glint flashed in Bulma's eyes: "We were caught off guard before, but this time, I'm determined to use my androids to defeat these great demons."

"I believe you!"

Wen Ming accompanied her back to the underground laboratory: "Now that we have the android technology from 'NieR: Automata,' I feel your android technology reserves are almost complete, right?"

"That's not enough. These technologies can only produce androids with a combat power of a few thousand at most, which can't even beat Nappa."

Bulma declared with high spirits, "My first android must have a combat power of over 10,000."

"Go for it! I believe you can do it!"

After cheering on the Dragon Ball girls, Wen Ming didn't disturb them too much. Instead, he found Rebecca, who was busy at work, and said, "The war is about to begin. We need to speed up the cultivation of herbs and Senzu Beans."

"Don't worry, boss. The cultivation of these herbs has been successful. I can make three cans of emergency spray every day."

With the energy replenished by the Arc Reactor, the cultivation of Senzu Beans has accelerated. I estimate the yield to be around 10 beans per week.

Rebecca's progress completely exceeded Wen Ming's expectations. He couldn't help but hug Rebecca and give her a big kiss: "You must be exhausted these days?"

"Not tired."

Rebecca blushed and shook her head. She glanced towards the door, where Perkins was openly watching again.

Wen Ming coughed lightly: "Perkins, you stand guard at the door and don't let anyone in. I need to have a good talk with Rebecca about the yellow herb."

"A yellow herb that can increase physical limits?"

Perkins' eyes lit up immediately.

She was exceptionally eager for anything that could enhance her strength: "Don't worry, boss, I promise I won't let anyone bother me."

Seeing Perkins walk out excitedly, Rebecca couldn't help but laugh and say, "Boss, you always manage to handle her so easily."

“I’m not lying, I really do want to talk to you about the yellow herb.”

Wen Ming looked at Rebecca with a serious expression: "So, did the test go well? Can you increase your physical limits?"

Rebecca was somewhat disappointed to see that Wen Ming really wanted to talk about the yellow herb, but she quickly turned around and walked to the hydroponic column of the yellow herb, and introduced it to Wen Ming: "I have extracted the essence of the yellow herb, red herb and yellow herb according to the method in the game, and obtained a potion."

After administering this drug to mice at different dosages and comparing the results, I concluded that this drug can significantly improve the vitality of mice.

I'm experimenting with different ratio combinations in an effort to find the optimal one.

The next step is human trials. After Professor Erskine found out, he wanted to add this drug directly to his super soldier serum. We have already input the relevant data into Haihou's supercomputer, and the simulation results should be available soon.

Upon learning this, Maya also wanted to add the potion to her Extremis virus to neutralize its violent reaction.

Upon hearing that Professor Erskine was going to add a new drug to the Super Soldier Serum, Wen Ming couldn't help but shake his head. These mad scientists really shouldn't be allowed to see anything good.

The Super Soldier Serum already enhances the user's metabolic function and all bodily functions, allowing them to reach the peak of human potential. Now, with the addition of this life-enhancing agent, how strong will the future Captain be?
The 50/50 split has become a 60/40 split?

"Have you named this medicine yet?"

Wen Ming stood behind Rebecca, looking at the rows of hydroponic columns in front of him, and felt as if he were seeing countless powerful Perkins.

"No."

Rebecca shook her head and turned to look at Wen Ming, who lowered his head and said, "Let's call her Rebecca Life No. 1."

"what?"

Rebecca wanted to object, but her mouth was immediately gagged, and she was quickly deprived of oxygen: "These are herbs brought by Ida Wong, I can't keep them to myself."

"This was extracted by you, so let's name it after you."

Wen Ming forcefully picked up Rebecca and placed her on the lab table beside him. Rebecca was immediately confused: "Do we still need this medicine? Do we still need to conduct human trials?"

"Of course, this medicine definitely has a lot of room for development. I'm going to drink it like sugar water in the future."

Wen Ming's words made Rebecca's face turn completely red: "Then I'll continue, continue, continue my research."

"I believe you can do it."

"Boss, I need to do a physical exam for you. It's been a long time since I've done a bed check-up."

"It's because you're always busy."

"Isn't my goal to get you Rebecca Life No. 1 as quickly as possible?"

"Then I'll hurry too."

……

"The 'realm that belongs only to oneself' allows the ability user to ignore the limitations brought about by the principle of uncertainty."

As described in the hypothetical experiment 'Schrödinger's cat', different possibilities exist in reality. By controlling their observation of the microscopic world and realizing the possibilities they choose, those with superpowers can use laws that are different from those of ordinary people to distort the microscopic world, thereby affecting the macroscopic world.

This is the theoretical basis of superpowers; only by understanding this can one develop superpowers…

After dinner, when Wen Ming arrived at the activity room, the Queen was explaining the theory of "a reality that belongs only to oneself" to John, Marcus, Perkins, and others.

It was clear that John, Marcus, and the others were all feeling dizzy and disoriented, with Perkins feeling as if he were listening to gibberish.

Fortunately, the Queen of the Sea is a very advanced AI, so it simply says: "You can also simply understand 'your own reality' as delusion, preconceived notions, and the power of belief."

Based on this assumption, a person with special abilities would grow their abilities due to their firm belief that they can become even stronger.

Upon hearing this, Perkins clapped his hands and exclaimed, "I finally understand what that means! Daydream, isn't it?"

Marcus and Max immediately burst into laughter.

The virtual image of the sea queen nodded: "You can explain this basic theory in a way that you can understand. After you have learned the basic theory, with the help of Misaka Mikoto, I will use drugs, hypnosis and sensory deprivation techniques to give you your own reality."

However, if you can't understand these theories, even if you possess the abilities, you won't be able to develop them into powerful superpowers, what you commonly call "leveling up."

Perkins didn't understand what she heard, but she did catch one sentence: "It is possible to have abilities through drugs, hypnosis, and sensory deprivation techniques."

That's fine, as long as it can be activated.

As for the final level of ability, just practice.

It's like killing someone; as long as you keep practicing, you'll eventually surpass Baba Yaga.

The assassin's understanding is that simple.

"Queen of the Sea, to what extent has your calculation of the activation of superpowers progressed?"

"Everything is ready. We can now proceed with the assessment of everyone's qualities, which is also a talent test."

After the test, their superpowers can be activated.

The Queen's words prompted everyone present to cheer in unison: "Come on, come on, let's start now!"

Besides John, Perkins, Marcus, Charon, Max, and the others were eager to improve their strength.

It was only because Rebecca kept reminding them that they needed to prepare the relevant medication that they managed to suppress their impulse.

The group arrived at the medical room, and Dr. Erskine walked in at that moment, making the large medical room suddenly feel crowded.

Seeing the eager crowd, Dr. Erskine couldn't help but sigh, "What's the rush? Once the perfect version of the Super Soldier Serum is made tomorrow, you can inject it to unleash your potential and then activate your superpowers. Your future potential will definitely be higher than it is now."

Paskin chuckled and said, "Doctor, stimulating first and then strengthening, the effect is the same."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade them otherwise, Erskine had no choice but to say, "I've modified the medical pods so they can be used to scan your bodies and determine your talents. Now, lie down one by one."

Without saying a word, Paskin was the first to lie down.

"Come on, I want to see what my superpower really is."

Erskine walked to the control panel and clicked "scan".

"Om-"

The robotic arm began to rotate slowly, and a virtual human figure gradually appeared on the control screen. After the human figure was completely scanned, several lines of letters appeared on the screen.

Everyone crowded around, and Wen Ming glanced at him and shook his head, saying, "Paskin, you'll probably be stuck being my bodyguard for the rest of your life."

Paskin felt a chill run down his spine: "Boss, what do you mean? Am I powerless?"

She had been waiting for this for so long, and although she had already prepared herself mentally, hearing Wen Ming's pitying tone still brought her to tears.

Am I really a useless person?
Just then, Dr. Erskine read out the text on the control panel.

When she heard the result, Perkins' face lit up with ecstasy. She threw herself into Wen Ming's arms and showered him with kisses on the head.

"Boss, you're so mean! You scared me to death!"
