The Arab Spring, that whirlwind of change etched in memory, finally brought about some alterations under its own Butterfly Effect.
Not only were certain extended changes expedited, but the first country to erupt was Tunisia, a North African nation quite distant from Israel and not sharing a border.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that, despite the civil war breaking out in Tunisia, Israel has not faced much suspicion, and the neighboring Arab countries have not sounded the alarm.
However, Yang Xiaoyou, with her Future Memory, understood that Tunisia was also one of Mossad's ignited targets.
Due to the foundation of Hive Security Company in Algeria, the changes in Tunisia had forcefully inserted themselves into the mix. With prior preparations in place, Hive Security Company had already reaped substantial benefits from this sudden outbreak, staying a step ahead.
And this was merely the beginning; the subsequent series of opportunities arising from these changes were enough to propel Hive Security Company to catch up with those long-established firms that had been around for decades or even centuries.
Perhaps because of Tunisia's role as a trigger, the United States, eager to flex its muscles for its interests in Tunisia, announced ahead of time that two Humanoid Combat Weapon prototypes had completed their basic tests.
With the assistance of the Anti-Lock System, their impact far exceeded expectations.
They even proclaimed it to be a revolutionary superweapon that would change future battlefield dynamics.
Simultaneously, after several significant news items emerged that diverted most attention, p finally stepped forward to promote their own research achievements.
They had developed a terrifying technology that allowed direct mental interfacing between the Human Body and the virtual world.
When this news first broke, many dismissed it as a joke or exaggerated advertising. However, under the impact of other 'real' major news stories, the influence aligned perfectly with p's predictions, thrusting them into the spotlight.
Yet some forward-thinking individuals began to take notice of this immensely promising technology. Another faction within Hive Security Company began to defend p according to their plans.
Hive Security Company was not lacking in operations; its core members had matured into capable individuals. Nevertheless, during this period, being involved in two world-shaking events simultaneously consumed a considerable amount of energy.
As such, their ability to mobilize forces into the Chinese Empire became quite limited. Yang Xiaoyou estimated that she would have to bolster her plans against the Red Dragon herself.
Fortunately, having recently absorbed duh and Laiwei, she could borrow their strength when necessary to address urgent needs. Currently, Charming Shadow had been assigned to carry out preliminary preparations.
However, after experiencing such changes repeatedly, Yang Xiaoyou had already made comprehensive arrangements in advance. With a group of core team members as fierce as wolves, he didn’t need to worry too much about anything other than the situation with the Red Dragon.
As for the Red Dragon, he would have to wait for a few personnel to be reassigned and also for the Liang Family to prepare and cooperate. During this period, he indeed found himself relatively free.
Well, of course, it was relatively speaking.
“Ah!! How many times have I told you?” Looking at Dream Butterfly, who was in a crooked sleepwear and trying to sneak over to steal his computer, Yang Xiaoyou felt a wave of helplessness wash over him.
This fellow wasn’t even wearing a bra. She had just thrown on a sleepwear, and this kind of caretaker role during this time truly left him mentally and physically exhausted.
“I’m wearing underwear,” Dream Butterfly replied while struggling to carry the main unit. She looked up at Yang Xiaoyou and blinked.
“Underwear isn’t everything.” The corner of Yang Xiaoyou’s eye twitched as he heard that remark, letting out a powerless groan.
“It’s okay; I believe in it.” Dream Butterfly said with a serious expression, which genuinely made Yang Xiaoyou feel like he was about to collapse.
Comparing her to the dangerous individuals mentioned by Luo Guohui last time was quite amusing; it was funny how he had hesitated back then.
Fortunately, during this time, he hadn’t been without achievements. With Dream Butterfly, an unparalleled existence in mental power, providing close guidance, Yang Xiaoyou could barely manage to use those ‘magical tools’ normally.
Moreover, his own potential in the Spirit Realm was not inferior to Dull Butterfly's. After beginning to absorb the unique methods developed by Dream Butterfly over more than a decade in the laboratory, his own Spirit Realm started to steadily improve.
However, Dream Butterfly had spent too long researching Aspects; catching up in a short time was clearly impossible. Due to both sides being nearly equal in their endowments in the Spirit Realm, the gap between them now resembled an insurmountable chasm.
After Yang Xiaoyou's realm improved, Dream Butterfly could also enhance at the same speed.
She specialized in her field; her rate of improvement wouldn’t lag behind Yang Xiaoyou’s much.
But one thing Yang Xiaoyou could confirm was that as long as things continued like this, he believed he could reach the same realm as Dream Butterfly before him.
Moreover, since he could now start utilizing those magical tools, Yang Xiaoyou often used lollipops and similar treats to entice Dream Butterfly into helping him store these items.
Exchanging snacks for treasures that money can't buy allowed the quietly wealthy Yang Xiaoyou to forget some of the troubles that came with taking care of the Fool.
This Treasure Buddy had to be taken away at the right opportunity.
Every time Yang Xiaoyou thought about this, looking at Dream Butterfly made her mouth water, leading this sensitive yet somewhat daft fellow to believe that Yang Xiaoyou wanted to eat her.
"Hey? You're still alive, what a rarity." After a month of running around, Chen Wuyou finally arrived in mid-August, her travel-worn appearance failing to conceal her inherent elegance.
Seeing the 'alive' Yang Xiaoyou at home, she even showed a look of surprise despite her fatigued expression.
Yang Xiaoyou, who initially wanted to help carry her luggage, felt a surge of frustration at the remark, "You're still alive?" It was utterly infuriating.
"Hehehe, not bad, much better than I imagined. How about this: just skip university and let me pay you to take care of her," Chen Wuyou said after checking on Dream Butterfly's condition, her eyes filled with a green light as she looked at Yang Xiaoyou.
This made him shiver involuntarily.
He didn't really care about university; the main reason he stayed was to accompany Qi Menglu and the others, trying hard to grasp the increasingly rare normal life.
However, if he had to take care of Dream Butterfly all the time...
Imagining those hellish days made him start pulling out a bunch of grand excuses for himself, from his parents' expectations to the country's nurturing, as if he were some kind of future savior.
"Tch, such a good opportunity that others would beg for. If you don't cherish it, Namekian, then fine. Don't come crying later," Chen Wuyou said somewhat resentfully upon hearing what seemed like Ming Ning's stubborn refusal.
"Yes, yes, it's my fault for not cherishing it; I'm lacking ambition," Yang Xiaoyou replied, fully complying as long as she was willing to relent.
However, he soon became curious and asked, "Sister Wu You, what kind of magic do you plan to use to get her on stage?"
"Hmph, do you think I'm as foolish as you? Based on my daily observations, when a flat-chested girl gets focused on something, she completely forgets her surroundings and immerses herself in it. That's what I'll be using—just need to modify the stage a bit. I've been busy with this lately; it's really exhausting." After lying back on the sofa and rubbing her shoulders, Chen Wuyou couldn't help but look smug.
"That is indeed a method. However, some aspects during the performance will depend on your improvisation," Yang Xiaoyou said as she stood behind her and helped knead her shoulders a bit to relieve her fatigue, making Chen Wuyou let out a comfortable hum.
"Well, just look at who I am. There won't be any problems later on. Yes, that's right, don't stop. Where did you learn this technique?" Yang Xiaoyou lay comfortably to the side, enjoying the massage from Chen Wuyou.
"I'm just an old Chinese medicine practitioner. I'll give you some nourishing prescriptions later, along with some self-regulation methods. It's just work; don't overexert yourself. No matter how much money you make, it's all for living, right?" After softening Big Sister's shoulders, Yang Xiaoyou complained a bit.
This workaholic really didn't care about her health; she might face many issues in the future.
"What do I need to learn? Aren't you here?" Chen Wuyou yawned comfortably and spoke as if it were obvious, causing Yang Xiaoyou, who had been feeling a bit sentimental, to sulk again.
"Damn! It's the first time! Our first concert! And it's being held in our city! If we can't get tickets, we might as well jump off a building together! No way, we have to camp out overnight; we have tents and everything!" Half-asleep, she grabbed her phone. Hearing her friend Huang Wei's excited voice on the other end, Yang Xiaoyou naturally hung up and went back to sleep.
However, she soon felt that familiar soft touch again; it was Dream Butterfly sneaking in with a pillow. This girl's stealth skills guaranteed her nighttime 'attacks' had a success rate of over 90%, with the 10% failure rate being when she slipped and bumped into something that woke her up.
Having grown accustomed to it—or perhaps numb to it—Yang Xiaoyou instinctively began to take off her sleepwear to help her change.
Just as she was halfway through undressing, the door swung open. Chen Wuyou's figure appeared along with her voice: "Have you seen that silly girl? I woke up and found her missing!"
Yang Xiaoyou, caught in the act of undressing Dream Butterfly, froze and stared blankly at Chen Wuyou.
She had slipped away a bit too early; now she had to prepare for tomorrow's tears.
