Chapter 172: Everything Is Under Raymond’s Control!
Raymond had only grown more curious about this energy cube.
He already had nuclear fusion on his side.
Even long-distance space voyages would no longer be a problem for him.
Studying this thing would take time.
Yesterday, in order to study the correlation between fatigue and nutrition, Raymond had spent a total of nearly nine hours.
This didn’t mean that Raymond’s brain was not working, nor did it mean that the system’s plug-in was not working.
The point was that this was alien technology, and he had no point of reference to refer to.
Every problem needed to be solved by himself. Even if he had the Ultimate Learning Mode, and his brain was working at superhuman speeds, it would still take him much longer.
On top of that, this energy cube was not what he needed the most.
He could dismiss this as a backup power source, but there was no need to waste time on it.
“Minister Angelo, I don’t think there is a need to study this for the time being. I already have a nuclear fusion reactor. What do you think…”
Raymond looked at Angelo.
Previously, in order to get that body, Raymond had agreed to Angelo’s request.
Although Raymond could leave the facility without a word, it wasn’t necessary.
If he explained himself, Angelo would support him as usual.
Without waiting for Angelo to speak, Alpha began protesting.
“Raymond, you promised that you would help us study this energy cube!”
“Yes, but I didn’t say that I would study this first. I cannot prioritize this just yet!”
“Then where are your priorities? If this thing is developed, it can benefit the entire human race!”
Alpha pushed his stand forward.
But Raymond saw through the excuses. Alpha was just dead curious about this cube.

“My nuclear fusion reactor is already developed. It can also benefit the entire human race!”
Raymond hit the nail on the head.
“That’s not the same, we…”
Alpha wanted to continue but was interrupted by Angelo.
“Minister Alpha, I agree with Raymond on this matter.”
Alpha said anxiously, “But…”
“No buts!” Anjiro was firm.
Raymond’s focus should be on transporting the humans out of earth as fast as possible.
He shouldn’t waste it on this redundancy.
“Minister Angelo, you may know what I need right now. However, I need to tell you something!”
Raymond said solemnly to Angelo.
“First, it’s about strengthening the existing systems. Interstellar flight is nothing like we’ve been prepared for. If the system isn’t enough, it’s a waste of resources. Dying in space would be almost hilarious and it’s all our fault for not being prepared.”
“Second, instead of building spaceships, we could try growing our spaceships. You see where I’m coming from with this, right?”
“Third, hibernation pods. If you see anything remotely close to this, you must inform me immediately!”
“Fourth, get your people to buy a large amount of metal quickly. A plasma engine isn’t something that can be made from ordinary steel. I’ll give you the specific raw materials list later.”
“Fifth, personnel selection. You should be aware of how important that is.”
“Sixth, DNA collection…”
Raymond spoke at length with Angelo.
After hearing a few of his demands, Angelo began to record them on his phone.
He realized that Raymond, who seemed to have no goal, had already made a plan.
Every one of them fit the current conditions.
Moreover, Raymond was not a stubborn nor prideful person.
When he found out that the alien technology was useful, he immediately used it.
On that point, Angelo gained newfound respect for Raymond.

Raymond said all of this in front of Alpha.
He had done this deliberately.
Alpha may not know the specific reason, but he would gain a glimpse of the full picture.
If it was an ordinary person, Raymond would have shooed them away.
Alpha was not only the director of the First Research Institute, but he was also a scientist.
He would be able to streamline the process.
Raymond had set his mind to making use of every available resource, manpower, and facility.
“Next, I have to return to the island.”
Angelo asked, “Do you still plan to play along with that silly programme?”
Angelo hit the nail on the head.
“For them to watch me? No, I don’t have that kind of hobby. When the time is right, I will reveal the truth. In my opinion, they have the right to know about this. Moreover, the cameras on the island are now completely under my control.”
“When will we be seeing you here again?”
“It depends on whether you do find anything I need!”
After saying that, Raymond turned around and left.
Even if Angelo found technology that made vat-grown spaceships possible, Raymond still had to work on his conventional spaceship.
That thing represented the peak of human civilization.
It was almost time to start forging the keel.
Just as Raymond was about to go back, Riven’s voice rang in his earpiece.
“Master, did you bring me my body?”
“Oh, I almost forgot!”
In fact, Raymond didn’t dote on Riven that much.
Riven only enabled him.
The body truly attracted him.
Soon, Raymond arrived at the location of that body.
When he first saw it on the screen, Raymond was already enamored.
But when he actually saw it, Raymond almost couldn’t take his eyes off it.
“Sir, the hormones in your brain are rapidly increasing. Please control your emotions! Take a deep breath!”
“Cough cough!”
Raymond deliberately coughed twice and took a few deep breaths under the guidance of Tuesday.
Suppressing his impulse, Raymond tore off a piece of his own clothes and covered the woman’s body.
Although it was covered, Raymond couldn’t help but keep daydreaming.
This woman’s magic was undoubtedly very potent.
He didn’t know what the aliens were even planning to do with such an amazing appearance.
It was everyone’s ideal image.
“Amitabha! God, Jerusalem, Hubble! Zeus, the Sea King, Athena!”
Forcefully suppressing his emotions, Raymond rolled the body to its side.
Almost immediately, he spotted something on her nape.
It was obviously an input jack, one to inject a consciousness.
But Raymond did not know how to access it just yet.
“Tuesday, find a plug similar to this interface!”
A robot quickly walked in.
It took a glance at the interface of the body and started searching.
In terms of finding specific things, one had to count on AIs.
Humans…
Forget it, the human brain was sick.
They failed to spot items that were dangling right before their noses.
They seemed to have been designed to trip over their own shoelaces.
Artificial intelligence, on the other hand, did not have that problem.

Nighthawk
Ancient tombs hold mysteries and treasures that many cannot even begin to imagine. From magical traps to deadly monsters, mechanisms are established to keep these tombs shut. However, there are brave souls who dare to risk their lives for the allure of riches and glory. Those who rob graves and storm tombs are known as Nighthawks. Lucrio Law, the young heir of Tosa, doesn’t care about graves or tombs. In fact, he doesn’t care about much besides drinking, gambling, and womanizing. But when circumstances leave him ensnared by a centuries-old curse, Luc is forced to walk the path of a Nighthawk, searching for the cure to his curse and discovering that some things are meant to stay buried. Author's Note: - This story will contain litrpg elements like Titles, Skills, and Levels. - MC will not become instantly powerful. I plan for a slower grind with a focus on the characters themselves rather than their abilities. - This is my first attempt at a litrpg story, so please leave any comments/suggestions you have!
8 100Legend of the Seven
Humans were cast out of Eden for committing the original sin. Now Seven will answer, should Humanity live forever? But first, join Team Six in their rescue mission turned daring prison break from death. Author's Corner: Welcome to the Legend of the Seven series #LOTSseries, my Guardians.This is my first novel turned webnovel. I'm returning to this fictional world after a 6-year hiatus with a lot of personal growth and insight. Insights gained from being a lifetime reader.I was the kid who read Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I was the new adult who read I Shall Seal the Heavens and Ark. I've lost count of how many fictional worlds I've visited and lived through for I grew up on western novels but discovered eastern novels in my college years. This is my attempt to marry those two literary styles.It's my hope that this journey becomes more than just a book. If you're reading this simply expecting an ego power trip then turn back. There'll be action but with a lot of metaphysics and discussion on life with its accompanying issues. I strive to ground and make this webnovel relatable with verisimilitude. This webnovel is about choice. Freewill and its consequences. I give my characters autonomy to do and be themselves which sometimes leads to me rewriting and replotting because of pleasant surprises from my characters. Even the character who dies within the chapter they are introduced can have a massive impact with several ripples. So, there'll be stories on love and loss, hope and despair, but most importantly, it'll be a story. Release schedule: M, W, F - I aim for afternoon (1pm to 6pm) MST. I'm working on a project, codenamed "Guides' Sanctum", to make LOTSseries even more alive with special voice-overs, extra stories, behind the scene stuff, and so much more. But it can only come online when certain benchmarks are reached. The listed goals will help us get there. Goals:50 readers will unlock 4 chapters a week - Extra release on Thursday100 readers will unlock 5 chapters a week - Extra release on Tuesday250 readers will unlock 6 chapters a week - Extra release on Saturday500 readers and Project Guides' Sanctum comes online!Links:Lotsseries.blogspot.comSocial:@tonyswag0 - twitter@lotsseries - FacebookI'm thrilled at what is happening and what is still to come. Never be afraid to drop a comment. My DM is open. I'll work to keep this work free to access but I ask you to enjoy it from official sources so that you can be part of the discussion. There's magic in reading together to form a shared experience.Again, welcome aboard, my Guardians.
