413: Bad talent

“The Valefor made a move?” He felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

With the Valefor taking action, he wouldn't have to painstakingly negotiate with them anymore.

“Stall them first.”

His lips curled into a smile, and his mood suddenly brightened.

Galaxy, especially that bitch Ms. Bliss of the War God Clan, just you wait.

.........

Valefor arrived in the Machine Country as a member of the Mechanical Clan, this being the core area of the Mechanical Clan.

The entire country was filled with a sense of future technology, with intelligent facilities and high-tech products everywhere. Maglev trains ran in the sky, while mobile squares on the ground automatically moved you as soon as you stepped on them. The buildings in the city were like steel beasts, exuding a metallic luster.

“This armed force is truly terrifying! Even ordinary residential buildings can transform into mechanical warriors, and countless laser cannons, anti-air laser cannons, and other weapons are hidden underground,” Valefor exclaimed.

Invisible light waves continuously swept over his body.

“This verification method is also very powerful, capable of identification at the genetic level; if it were other imposters, they would have been exposed long ago. Fortunately, my disguise can alter at the genetic level.” Even a common scanning and identification method was enough to reveal the true forms of anyone below the Demon Lord level. Facing such a powerful Mechanical Clan, Valefor’s expression gradually became serious.

His intuition told him that this mission might be full of challenges and difficulties.

“Hello! Welcome to the Machine Country, may I ask what brings you here?” A Mechanical Clan member walked over with a smile, inquiring as per usual.

“I’m here for an internship. My name is Allison, and I’m from the Galaxy. I interned here once a hundred years ago,” Valefor had already prepared his answer, his tone very natural.

In fact, Allison was an intern at the Machine Country’s biological laboratory, highly regarded and anticipated due to his outstanding talent.

To successfully infiltrate the Machine Country, a suitable identity was essential. And coincidentally, Allison from the Galaxy was the best cover.

“Okay, information verified. Your previously submitted entry application has been approved and meets the entry requirements.” The Mechanical Clan member cleared the way, and unconsciously used an honorific.

To be able to enter the Machine Country’s laboratory, one had to be a true elite.

The Garden of Eden, the true core of the Machine Country.

It was also the true core of the Mechanical Clan.

Here, countless cutting-edge technologies and advanced scientific discoveries were born.

Valefor, disguised as Allison, had lost count of how many times he had marveled.

The core area of another civilization invariably displayed the superiority of that civilization.

In this situation, even he, who was well-traveled and knowledgeable, felt like a bumpkin in a grand garden.

“This Mechanical Clan is truly prosperous. Perhaps after conquering the Galaxy, they can be treated with courtesy. With their addition, the demons will enter a golden age.”

He finally understood the saying that technology is the primary productive force.

The Mechanical Clan did not have a large population, but with the help of intelligent machinery, they ranked first in the entire Galaxy.

Valefor soon arrived at the biological laboratory.

“Allison, I’m delighted to receive your application. Welcome back to the Garden of Eden,” a Mechanical Clan member had been waiting for a long time.

Valefor, who had captured Allison and read his memories, naturally knew who this was.

“Teacher Ivan, haven’t I hit a bottleneck? So I wanted to come to our lab to see if I could find some inspiration.”

His so-called bottleneck was not a bottleneck in terms of level.

It was a bottleneck in terms of creation.

Allison’s potion had indeed just entered a bottleneck period.

“Ah ha, then you will definitely gain a lot in the lab.”

Just like that, Valefor completely infiltrated the biological laboratory.

Only...

“Allison, what’s wrong with you? Your technique has become more proficient, but your comprehension, why has it become so stupid?”

“Is your brain filled with shit? Can you really operate like this?”

“I’ve repeated it to you five times, why do you still not get it? Before, I’d repeat it half a time and you’d understand.”

“Idiot, can this potion react with Fusion?”

“Bullshit, you idiot, idiot, get out of here right now, go back and reflect. If you’re still like this tomorrow, you’ll never be allowed in the Garden of Eden again.”

Valefor was thrown out of the laboratory.

He was dumbfounded.

He had originally thought that with his many years of experience and Demon Lord-level comprehension, impersonating a laboratory intern would be simple, wouldn't it?

It turned out he had overestimated himself and underestimated the difficulty of experimental work.

He, Valefor, the Sixth Demon God, a powerful individual of Demon Lord level, a top-tier expert who had pulled off countless astonishing heists, was a complete idiot when it came to potions and biological experiments.

“Damn it, why can’t I even pretend well with that guy’s memories?” Valefor was extremely frustrated.

He even felt that he was already being suspected.

“I must change my identity immediately. This identity is probably already exposed.” Valefor felt a strong sense of crisis.

In fact, he wasn't wrong.

“Boss, I think the intern who recently arrived is not right.” The teacher who was guiding Allison directly reported the situation.

“Oh? Let me check, Allison? What’s the problem?”

“He’s stupid in a way that’s unlike his original self. We Mechanical Clan members don’t experience such a significant drop in comprehension. It’s very likely that he’s an outsider impersonating him or has been controlled/possessed.” The teacher’s voice held some sadness; as for the Allison who was impersonated, he was probably on the verge of death. He really liked this student.

“Understood. The Mechanical Guard will act immediately.”

Valefor, still using Allison’s identity, began searching for his next target.

But what bothered him was that this guy was a homebody and didn’t have many friends.

“That genius friend of his who has five-rule Fusion is worth paying attention to. I didn’t expect to have such an unexpected surprise on this trip to the Galaxy,” he recalled another matter.

However, he could just keep that in mind for now; solving the current problem was more important.

“Let’s pretend it’s love at first sight,” Valefor’s lips curled up.

Stealing a heart is still stealing.

He was quite good at charming the opposite sex.

The Mechanical Clan had no biological sex and could not reproduce autonomously, but they had cognitive genders.

They often constructed their physical bodies based on their cognitive gender.

Aside from not being able to have children, there was no difference from normal two sexes.

Valefor scanned his surroundings; this was a recreational area.

There were various drinks and entertainment options.

So there were many people.

Most of the Mechanical Clan members gathered in groups of three to five; there weren’t many solitary individuals.

Valefor scanned the area and locked his target on a lone Mechanical Clan lady.

Alone, a lady, was the best target for striking up a conversation.

Her appearance was exquisite (self-sculpted), her figure was alluring, and her scholarly aura was very charming.

“Having a brief flirtation in a foreign land also has a unique flavor,”

Valefor licked his lips.

Walking towards the lady.
