Mechanical Adjutant: Detecting target structure... Compatibility meets requirements. Can proceed with Marine Armor skill source replacement. Replication complete.
"Captain! Is this new energy?" Arthur poked his head in.
Lin Fan said, "Iron Man's latest Arc Reactor."
"That's super awesome!" Arthur ran out, then immediately pushed in a cargo cart, placing his Marine Armor on the mechanical platform. "Mechanical Adjutant, modify my Marine Armor first."
"Permission: Recruit. Merit: 910. Does not comply with regulations, cannot proceed with modification. Please leave." The Mechanical Adjutant stiffly read out Arthur's rank and merit.
Arthur said dejectedly, "Captain...?"
"Understood. Mechanical Adjutant, the first batch of soldiers has recall and modification authority. Merits will be deducted later." Lin Fan gave a voice command to the Mechanical Adjutant.
Mechanical Adjutant: Permission confirmed. Rank: Private (Commander). Merit: 159300.
On the mechanical platform, Arthur's Marine Armor was disassembled, and its energy blocks slot was removed and converted into a second-generation Arc Reactor as the power module.
Mechanical Adjutant: New energy module modification complete, test run in progress. Operating System normal, neural sensor normal, somatosensory analyzer normal. New energy passed test. Added new maintenance mode: Charging. Commander, please set price.
"100 merit points." Lin Fan said.
Arthur said with a bitter face, "Captain... that's a rip-off."
"This is black magic to begin with." Lin Fan walked out of the barracks, but then turned back and said, "Boyka."
"Captain? What's wrong!" Boyka came over and said.
Lin Fan took out the Abomination Serum: "Try this when you're in danger."
"This is... Abomination Serum?" Boyka looked at the thumb-sized glass bottle in his hand, which had some markings on it.
Arthur ran over again at this moment and said, "Captain, what about mine? Mine..."
"It's different from your development direction, you don't need it." Lin Fan came to the office within the Base.
Arthur shook his head and said, "How could I not need it! Captain! You're being too biased!"
"Oh~ Now you know how to use honorifics. Too late." Lin Fan teased.
Jessica came over at this moment and said, "Commander, Gwen is here. Do you want to see her?"
"Let her in." Lin Fan waved his hand, dismissing Arthur.
Soon after, Gwen walked in, her exquisite pretty face filled with surprise. "Lin Fan, my family has safely escaped from the Amazon..."
"Don't you doubt me?" Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Gwen's Watery eyes.
A slight panic appeared in Gwen's eyes, and she pretended not to know anything, saying, "Lin Fan, what are you talking about? I don't understand. And you're scaring me like this."
"Would the dignified Spider-Woman be so easily scared? Gwen." Lin Fan said playfully, "The Zerg rescued your family from the Amazon, which is to thank you for your previous help to me. Without you, I wouldn't have inherited this military Base. For humans, an illegitimate claim is very fatal."
Gwen, distraught, walked in front of Lin Fan, tears streaming down her face, saying, "Why did you tell me? I don't want to admit that you were acting, I don't want to admit that you were using me. All those moments from school... I don't want to believe this is true."
"It's precisely because I want to keep you that I must tell you the truth. It's true, I was using you at first, then approaching your father George. Through his introduction, I was able to go directly to the elite troops. And in the Amazon, I deliberately held back, letting everyone die, so that I could inherit the military Base and exist as a leader of humanity, not a Dominator of the Zerg." Lin Fan stood up, pinched Gwen's cheek, and said seriously.
Gwen's eyes were already blurred with tears, and she choked, "I..."
"Now you know everything. You can forgive my use of you and join my forces to work for our future." Lin Fan released Gwen's cheek. "Or you can leave... and we will no longer owe each other anything."
Gwen suddenly hugged Lin Fan's waist and said, "I don't care about anything, but you can't plant your image in my mind and then run away. No... absolutely not... I want to be with you."
Lin Fan thought to himself that for a relationship that began with deception, he considered it pathological. If it were to continue, then it was clearly time for a showdown.
Although for Lin Fan, Zerg Queen modification could give the modified person absolute loyalty to the Dominator, emotions were not affected by it.
Lin Fan patted Gwen's back and said, "Since that's the case, you will be my woman from now on. Next, I will teleport you into my Zerg Swarm. You will undergo modification, and then you will be able to help me."
"Mmm. I'll listen to you." Gwen buried her pretty face in Lin Fan's body, inhaling his scent.
Lin Fan took out the Tesseract and teleported Gwen into the Third-Order Zerg Base 24897 meters below the ground. At the same time, he used a mental link to have Izsha perform the Zerg Queen modification on Gwen.
After sending Gwen away, Lin Fan looked playfully at the unclosed door crack and said, "Jessica, how long are you going to eavesdrop? What, aren't you going to talk to me about your thoughts? Actually, I still like you very much."
"Commander, I, I will always follow you. No matter if you are the Dominator of the Zerg. Always... always." Jessica, holding a pile of documents, with large glasses on her cute pretty face, said firmly.
Lin Fan teleported in front of Jessica, scaring Jessica into dropping the documents on the ground. Lin Fan gently stroked her cheek and smiled,
He said, "Don't be afraid. As my secretary, you need some skills. This is the Necromancer Apprentice's Handbook."
"Necromancer magic?" Jessica was a little confused. But she still took it.
Lin Fan then took Jessica's jade hand. "Since you've accepted my gift, then you'll surely accept my wedding ring, right?"
"What... what! Too fast... Commander!" Jessica was both surprised and delighted, as Lin Fan placed a very beautiful ring on her hand.
Lin Fan ruffled Jessica's bun and said, "Hahaha, silly girl, this is a spatial ring. Study it well. I'll test you when I get back."
