The portable grandfathers that appear are all problematic.

Xue's law was clearly able to understand the elders' intentions.

A leader who isn't particularly bright but is very capable, is a woman, is a descendant of the previous Dragon King, and doesn't seem to have much ambition or desire—this is simply the perfect example of a leader.

Then we'll trick this silly boss into going on maternity leave, preferably so she doesn't interfere with internal power and politics. Hey, that way the power will be firmly in the hands of the elders, but since the boss is this silly girl, she'll take the blame if anything goes wrong.

She really is... a leader like Liu Chan... no, like Liu Shan.

Xue's Law immediately began to brainstorm a series of convoluted fictional and political elements, and he even wondered if the fact that the child was chosen as the Tyrannosaurus God also had the function of facilitating communication with him.

Suddenly, Xue Dinglu realized that this group of elders actually had some skill. He even felt that the other side was as difficult as an entire civil service group.

However, this is their family matter, and it's possible that the elders simply want to find a leader to take the blame, which is none of Xue's business.

After a friendly handshake with the Silver Dragon King, the two sides reached an alliance agreement. At the same time, the dragons were required to abide by the four basic principles of the Loose Mouse Clan Head: not to interfere in the affairs of the Loose Mouse Clan dynasty, not to reveal their identities to the Loose Mouse Clan, not to engage in large-scale bloody battles with the Loose Mouse Clan, and to abide by the existing laws of the Loose Mouse Clan...

Both sides reached a friendly consultation, established a mutually beneficial bilateral alliance, and worked together towards the common goal of peace and progress.

……

“Hey, northwest of Salem (37°17 N, 80°03 W), come here.” Xue Dinglu made a call to an acquaintance, adding, “By the way, are Old Austin, Howard, and the Greeks with you? If they are, come along, there’s something important here.”

The doctor across from me, Xue Dinglu: "..."

He was calling his parallel world self, the doctor Xue who was obsessed with medical and biological research.

Soon, a large truck arrived, and after the truck stopped, Xue Dinglu saw a familiar friend.

Hector!

"Xediles!"

The two exchanged fist bumps, and the others gradually got off the truck. After greeting each other, they stared blankly at tens of thousands of... dragons?

The dragons have filled the dense forests around Salem town. If this place weren't uninhabited, it would have caused a huge uproar around the world long ago.

“This is…” Old Austin, who had just gotten off the truck, was stunned for a moment, unable to believe his eyes.

Dragons? Or so many dragons?

What the hell? Xue Lude has been missing for the past few days. Where did he come from to bring back so many dragons? These dragons are incredibly powerful, practically invincible in this magic-free world.

Let alone a world without magic, they originally existed as weapons of war. If this thing were placed in Olympus during the Age of Gods, it could overthrow all the gods in Olympus except for Zeus.

All of them, including Typhon, can be shredded.

This immense power stunned the group for a moment, but after Xue Dinglu finished explaining the whole story...

Their expressions became even stranger.

"You mean we have to settle these tens of thousands of dragons?" Doctor Xue looked at Xue Dinglu with dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept well. "Or we could just merge up and leave this to you to worry about."

Xue Law: "..."

No, how can you be so lazy?

Through chatting, Xue also learned about their situation.

After Xue left, Hector and his group established a mercenary company and bought all the no-man's land in Salem, but they hadn't had time to start clearing it yet.

The company's members are the same people from the previous rescue team. Their goal is to eliminate the plant monsters, so they set up a company to cover their tracks. At the same time, the mercenary company can effectively fight the plant monsters all over the world and make money along the way.

The company was founded not long ago, and their funding currently relies entirely on loans from Old Green and Howard.

But they really have the financial strength, directly borrowing hundreds of billions, I wonder which rich kid they robbed.

In short, they founded a company and prepared to make great strides.

“You’ve chosen a location that’s right next to ours. We just bought this land not long ago… Oh well, then this land will be the dragons’ home. Let’s find another place to set up our company…” Old Green scratched his head.

In fact, the area is sparsely populated, and with the previous disaster, land here is dirt cheap. That's why they bought thousands of hectares of uninhabited dense forest as their base, so that they could carry out some shady research and training.

But for now, let's temporarily house the dragons in this thousands of hectares of uninhabited land. They can then deploy a large mystical barrier.

Besides, if the dragons were to transform back into human form, retract their tails and other features, they would simply be seen as cosplaying in the human world, which wouldn't be a big problem.

So Xue, acting as a bridge between the two sides, discussed the matter with the Silver Dragon King and the elders on the dragon side, and a basic agreement was reached between them.

It's worth mentioning that the Dragon Clan holds Doctor Xue in high esteem. They probably consider him a twin of Xue's Law, hence their politeness.

"Seeing how much the dragons trust you, we'll entrust the diplomatic work here to you from now on," Hector patted Doctor Xue on the shoulder and teased him with a smile.

"Please let me go, I'm going to die suddenly if this continues."

"But we're a mercenary company, can we recruit dragonmen to be our henchmen?" someone asked.

"Can I marry the Dragon Girl?" This was the voice of Howard, the widowed gigolo.

Xue Law: "..."

other people:"……"

Naturally, someone dragged Howard out and beat him up. These Greek ancestors taught Howard a lesson as easily and pleasantly as disciplining their grandson.

There are many things to do and many problems: the problem of the dragons' habitat, how the dragons can integrate into this world, how the dragons can avoid being noticed by the neurotic mold, and many other miscellaneous and trivial issues that must be considered.

After all, it involved the relocation of tens of thousands of dragons, and Xue Dinglu simply shrugged off and left the mess to them.

Xue Lu only needed to think about bringing the dragons home, but those behind them had much more to consider.

"Forget it, there are too many problems. Panicking won't help. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Let's just give them autonomy here. I'll handle the mold and the government." Old Austin said in the end.

This is the simplest way. They will soon be able to access enough energy, and then they can control the entire area within a radius of several hundred kilometers around Salem. Anyway, this place is sparsely populated, and everything is in ruins because of that catastrophe.

It's a mess, but things are slowly getting back to normal.

"Have a meal before you go. Our base isn't far away," Hector said, patting the truck's steering wheel.

He has actually learned to drive.

“Okay, I’ll have a meal and then I’ll leave,” Xue Dinglu said.

After greeting the dragons, the group left. The dragons, knowing that this dense forest and the nearby mountains were their territory, also began their vigorous construction work.

Hector and Xue's Law chatted about their recent amusing incidents, the hilarious blame-shifting during the recent US election, and how Xue's Law had become a new superhero in the world, etc...

The truck was driving along a country road when suddenly it stopped, as if it had hit someone.

The people in the car were stunned for a moment. What if someone was really killed? They hurriedly got out of the car to check and found that a plant-like monster had been smashed to pieces by the truck. Half of its body was stuck in the wheel, and the other half had been thrown far away.

Xue Law: "..."

It seems necessary to let the dragons come and gnaw on these vegetative people and the remaining sacred trees. Isn't it a tradition for dragons to gnaw on tree roots?

Dragons are supposed to gnaw on tree roots... right?

"Hey, it's this thing again. No need to call insurance. Let's go, I thought it was a speed bump." Hector continued to get into the truck, which didn't even bother to remove the plants and fungal spores stuck on its wheels, and just drove off.

Chapter 249 The Development of the Modifier: Charm, Time Stop, and Hypnosis

Xue Dinglu was speechless as he looked at the vegetable-like person whose buttocks were stuck in the car wheel and whose entire body had vanished.

He wasn't quite clear on what it meant for 6 million of these monsters to be distributed around the world. They probably make up about 10% of the total population. If a city has more than 100 million people, there would be about 10 of these creatures hiding in the shadows.

This density ratio already far exceeds the ratio of homeless people or people with infectious diseases around us.

So during this period, the entire planet Earth was in complete chaos. Now, many countries are trying their best to restore order in their own ways, and dealing with these people in a vegetative state is already a huge challenge.

In many places, they simply openly display the virus, letting it run rampant in the shadows, leaving only spontaneously organized militias to resist it.

It's like they bumped into two of these things while they were eating a meal, and this was in a sparsely populated place like America. In a densely populated area, everyone would have to carry weapons to move forward slowly.

On the truck, the others kept telling Xue about how troublesome this thing was: how many there were, how difficult it was to dispose of the corpses, how it was hidden, how it liked to hide in dark places, how it liked to be buried underground, and how many of them could even drill holes in trees and hide inside the trunks.

Because they are plant-like creatures, things like thermal energy detection are completely ineffective.

Xue Law: "..."

He really hadn't expected the aftermath of this sacred tree to be so troublesome.

This is after he rescued almost all the people and restored them to human form during the war on his home soil.

If this happened in another world, the entire world would probably be completely ruined.

He could only sigh. Even if he could use a cheat engine to delete them one by one, 6 million was still enough to keep him working until he was old without eating or drinking.

Therefore, Xue's law immediately understood the harshness of this world.

It seems we'll have to call in help to clean this up. Even if tens of thousands of dragons were thrown in, it wouldn't make much of a splash. After all, there are 600 million vegetative people, which means that each dragon would have to arrest more than 10,000 vegetative monsters.

As Xue was thinking, the truck had already stopped at a large American-style rural estate.

One by one, the truckload of people got off the truck. After traveling several kilometers, the vegetative person who had been stuck to the wheels of the truck had long since disappeared. They seemed to have gotten used to the days when they could drive a truck and have this thing stuck to the wheels, and they didn't even care.

The group chatted as they walked into the large manor, where the sound of a television could be heard from inside.

Pushing open the door, Hercules was sprawled on the sofa with a beer and fried chicken in his hand, watching TV while his phone automatically played a game. With fried chicken and beer beside him, he was clearly living the life of a couch potato.

Even after only a few days, Xue Daolu felt that this thing might have gained weight. Why is its belly sticking out?

Can you still see your toes when you look down now?

"Hey, you're back," Hercules greeted, as news reports came on the television.

"Vice President Vance accused the Deep State of a conspiracy that caused this disaster. Those 'dinosaur people' in the Deep State are still thinking about overthrowing the world. We must fight the 'dinosaur people' to the end." A female reporter relayed the vice president's words with a mocking tone.

Hercules, sipping his beer, burped and then burst into laughter, pointing at the television and saying, "The political struggles of later generations are really interesting, accusing each other of being dinosaur people, hahaha, there are no dinosaur people in this world..."

Laughter echoed through the night.

But no one else could laugh; everyone fell silent.

After laughing for more than ten seconds, Hercules froze, looked at the silent crowd, and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

The group remained silent, staring intently at Hercules, all wearing strange expressions, and simultaneously glancing oddly at the television...

"Ahem, the 'dinosaur people' they're talking about don't really refer to the descendants of dinosaurs, right? It's probably just a metonym. I remember they used it to refer to the deep government or something like that more than ten years ago..." Xue Dinglu explained quietly.

“No, quite a few people actually believe that dinosaur-men are secretly ruling the world, and they’ve even made quite a few movies about dinosaur-men,” Howard, with his panda eyes, explained from the side.

Xue Law: "..."

Now look what's happened! Those rednecks are more than a decade ahead of the curve, and now real dinosaur-men have actually descended upon the earth.

Some people explained to Hercules that tens of thousands of dragons now live in the mountains of Salem Forest. They are all descendants of dinosaurs who have finally returned to Earth after tens of millions of years.

Hercules was also stunned. Watching the US election news on TV where the two sides were calling each other "dinosaurs," he speechlessly changed the channel.

"That's it for now, let's eat first."

……

Xue Dinglu stayed here for another night. He kept operating the modifier throughout the night, mainly to understand the mess in this world and to familiarize himself with his new ability.

He had destroyed all his previous Noble Phantasms, and although he was decisive when he did so, he was filled with heartache afterward.

However, he doesn't regret it. If he had to do it all over again, Xue Luding would still choose to throw away all his treasures to gain the support of millions of dragons and the six dragon kings.

The world consciousness did not let Xue Dinglu suffer a loss; after he had used all his Noble Phantasms, it gave him such an all-powerful and outrageous Noble Phantasm.

【Modifier (EX~???): Forged with the authority of a world consciousness as its core, it possesses permissions similar to those of the world authority. It can arbitrarily create and summon its own imaginary creations, and can arbitrarily modify its own state. Even on other planets, it can perform small-scale permission modifications with itself as the core (similar to modifying attacks to be infinite, making itself invincible, time-stopping, charming, hypnotizing, controlling gravity, controlling electromagnetic force, strong and weak forces, etc.).

Note: The energy to run the mod is provided by that world consciousness, but the cost of using the mod is still borne by yourself. Please ensure you have sufficient mana.

Xue Dinglu realized the power of this ability. For example, with the modifier, he could modify the attack power to be infinitely large, to the point that he could instantly kill the apostles in the Black Mist Council.

However, it also requires the same effort as instantly killing an Apostle-level being.

In other words, as long as he has enough blue bars, he can even survive the Big Bang with the cheat code.

This Noble Phantasm truly lives up to its name, forged with the World Authority at its core. It can effortlessly achieve functions such as creating illusions, modifying values, rewriting constants within a certain range, and stopping time.

Xue Dinglu tried time stop first, and the next moment, he felt as if the whole world had been paused instantly.

He realized that this was not a real "time stop," but rather that his speed had instantly increased to millions of times his previous speed.

According to relativity, the flow of time in the world is slowed down by millions of times for him. Therefore, the entire world is slowed down by millions of times in the eyes of Schrödinger's law, which is a kind of time stop.

"5 seconds..."

"6 seconds..."

"7 seconds..."

"Buzz!" Time stopped and disappeared. Xue Luding collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. This was still on his home planet. Time stop could only last for 7 seconds. His magical power was still too scarce.

A 7-second time stop is still too short.
