Chapter 2

Metal, energy, it all boils down to money.

Two alien friends, Zeus and Poseidon, expressed their intention to return to a different dimension, and the basic condition for this was to repair their spaceship. Repairing the spaceship required metal and energy, and these things could be bought with money.

"Su, you're too poor! You must make money! Be a billionaire! Buy an island, develop it, set up a base, and then we can go to the other dimension to deal with the dragons and those backward native gods!" The two aliens often tempted Su Mo, reminding him every hour that he was very poor and needed to make money.

"Cars, houses, and women, none can be missing!"

"Men, women, and money, all are easy to handle!"

"Famous watches, famous bags, famous shoes, luxury is your life!"

Zeus and Poseidon were very good at changing their tactics, and each time they reminded Su Mo, they said something different.

Su Mo just smiled slightly. He thought that the two aliens probably suffered a bit of brain concussion when they landed on Earth, which is why they had become like this.

It was now 6:30 in the morning, and Su Mo, who rarely got up early, was strolling around the neighborhood. Along the way, he greeted the uncles and aunts he knew, while Zeus and Poseidon, the two goat-headed aliens, followed him from the moment they left the house!

In other words, ordinary people couldn't see Zeus and Poseidon!

"We never lie," Poseidon suddenly said.

Su Mo was a bit sad. The moment he had that thought, Poseidon spoke, clearly indicating that Poseidon had the ability to read human minds. Mind reading was a high-level skill; if he could read minds, pursuing girls wouldn't be so troublesome.

With mind reading, he could use it when confessing, see the girl's reaction, and know immediately if it would work or not. If it didn't, he could turn around without any hesitation.

"Reading brain waves is a basic skill that every goat-headed alien learns from a young age," Poseidon said.

Su Mo rolled his eyes. Indeed, the two goat-headed aliens, besides being invisible, could also read minds. They truly lived up to being aliens who once roamed different dimensions.

Su Mo suddenly stopped. In his line of sight, there was a suspicious figure. It was a young man, carrying a backpack, with eyes darting around, walking quickly, and looking quite panicked.

"Thief?"

This was Su Mo's first reaction. The neighborhood where he lived was an old one, requiring no access card, and the security guards didn't do much. Any normal-looking person could enter.

So, was this suspicious-looking young man really a thief?

"There's a gold watch, 5,365 yuan in cash, and three jade items in the backpack," Zeus said at this moment, his tone extremely calm.

Indeed, he was a thief!

Su Mo was shocked, amazed by Zeus's ability to see through things, and also by the thief's audacity to steal in the morning! Oh, right, it was the weekend, and most people were still in bed!

Now, the question before Su Mo was whether to catch the thief or not. Thieves were said to be dangerous, and if this thief had a knife or something, Su Mo, an ordinary person, would have a hard time dealing with him.

"Non-lethal weapons, capturing a thief is in line with the basic moral code of every goat-headed alien."

Poseidon spoke again. Su Mo only saw a beam of light shoot towards the thief, who screamed and fell to the ground, frantically opening his backpack and shouting at passersby.

"I'm a thief! I'm a thief! Come and catch me! Come and catch me!"

Su Mo was dumbfounded, thinking the thief must have a problem with his head to shout that he was a thief! Soon, the security guards came and took the thief away.

Poseidon then said in that extremely calm tone, "The light of the Force, mind control, is a survival skill that every goat-headed alien must learn before the age of three."

Well, the two alien brothers, you truly live up to being aliens, learning all sorts of survival skills from a young age. Two words: awesome! Su Mo thought, it was a good thing that ordinary people couldn't see Zeus and Poseidon, or they would have scared the neighbors.

The goat-headed alien heads were a bit off-putting. Human bodies with goat-like heads, even more bizarre than some of the goat-headed demons in Western fantasy films.

If he hadn't read many web novels and had a somewhat thick nerve, he would have been scared out of his wits long ago.

Su Mo looked at Zeus, then at Poseidon, and then at his own shorts and slippers. A thought came to him, and he put his hands in his pockets and swaggered out of the neighborhood.

The two aliens followed him on either side. At this moment, Su Mo felt like a big brother, with Zeus and Poseidon as his bodyguards!

Having two aliens as bodyguards, this treatment, this feeling, was really great!

A short while later, Su Mo arrived at the park, where some uncles and aunts were already doing morning exercises, practicing Tai Chi and sword dancing. Originally, Su Mo wanted to stay home and sleep in, but the two goat-headed aliens forcibly woke him up and made him come to the park to exercise. According to Poseidon, Su Mo's body was too fragile.

Not only weak, but also brittle.

"Su, we consider you one of us. Every goat-headed alien has a basic physical strength of 60, while yours is only a little over 4. Su, you're too fragile."

To put it in famous terms, in the eyes of the goat-headed aliens, Su Mo was a weakling with a combat strength of less than 5. Therefore, Zeus and Poseidon decided to give Su Mo special training.

"Comprehensive goat-headed alien combat techniques, basic level."

"Su, today you only need to learn the first move."

"Don't worry about fatigue."

"We have the best fatigue-relieving potions."

"Su, try your best!"

"Su, keep it up!"

In the alternating voices of Zeus and Poseidon, Su Mo's body was uncontrollable, his legs spreading like a split. For a moment, Su Mo seemed to hear a crisp sound. He knew Zeus and Poseidon were up to something, but as an ordinary person, he was no match for aliens. He could only sigh, thinking this time he really pulled a muscle.

While Su Mo was practicing the split on the ground, Zeus and Poseidon were analyzing the movements of the uncles and aunts practicing Tai Chi.

"It seems to be a combat technique."

"The lethality seems to be seriously insufficient."

"It's probably a simplified version; the complete version might be more lethal."

"It has the effect of strengthening the body, but it doesn't meet Su's needs."

The two goat-headed aliens looked at each other, then at Su Mo on the ground, and smiled simultaneously: "Our comprehensive combat techniques are still more advanced!"

After a quarter of an hour, Su Mo lay on the ground, panting heavily. He felt his legs weren't his own anymore. Not to mention the sweat all over his body, the test his legs had undergone was as easy as drinking water compared to the sweat.

"Perseverance is the foundation of success."

"Every drop of sweat lays a solid foundation for a strong body."

"A goat-headed alien who doesn't sweat is not a good goat-headed alien."

"A goat-headed alien who doesn't bleed is not a complete goat-headed alien."

Zeus and Poseidon encouraged Su Mo, but their tone was extremely calm, as if they were reciting some doctrine.

Su Mo wanted to complain but found he didn't even have the energy to do so. He didn't know why that split-like move was so powerful, draining all his strength in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Woof woof!"

Suddenly, a dog barked!

Su Mo was startled, his pupils contracting sharply. In his line of sight, a large, wolf-like dog was charging towards him!

"Ah! Be careful!" A woman's voice cried out from the side.

At this moment, the nearby uncles and aunts also saw this and shouted in alarm. The wolf dog had broken free from its leash, gone mad, and was about to bite someone!

"Huh?"

Su Mo was speechless. He didn't even have the strength to get up, let alone dodge the attack of the mad wolf dog. He could only look at the two aliens.

The two aliens, however, seemed to ignore the charging wolf dog, both lifting their goat heads to look at the sky!

"Damn!"

The mad wolf dog was incredibly fast, almost reaching Su Mo in the blink of an eye. Its fangs were bared, ready to bite! Su Mo could only close his eyes, cursing the dog's owner in his heart. How could someone secretly keep such a large dog in the city? What, were they that lonely?

Zeus took action!

The others couldn't see it, but they saw the mad, fierce dog about to bite the young man suddenly tremble. The next moment, it was completely charred, and soon they could smell the aroma of cooked meat.

"Mao Mao!" The dog's owner was stunned, letting out a piercing cry.

The uncles and aunts looked at each other, a fierce dog spontaneously combusting, this seemed a bit supernatural.

Su Mo also smelled the aroma of grilled meat and heard the discussion of the two aliens.

"Pure bloodline."

"Delicious meat."

"Grilled dragon is far inferior."

"Grilled birdman wings can't compare either."
