"Maomao! My Maomao!" The dog's owner cried her heart out.

Not sure if it was because of the smell of the roasted meat, Su Mo regained some strength, glanced at the dog's owner, and was surprised to find that it was a young beauty.

A pretty face, tears like pear blossoms, she was truly heartbroken.

"Since ancient times, beautiful women have been lonely."

Su Mo sighed, slowly got up from the ground, ignored the roasted dog on the ground, and turned to leave! Raising such a big dog, she must be very lonely, and such a woman must be very scary! So, it was better to leave before she reacted!

When Su Mo disappeared, the beauty seemed to finally react, ran to the roasted dog, and cried again.

"Pity, a good dog." Not far away, an old man sighed, but it was unclear whether he was lamenting the dog or the dog meat.

...

At Su Mo's home, in the living room.

Su Mo sat in the living room watching TV. He was the only one at home. Every summer, his parents and older sister would go on a trip without him. Originally, he used to go with them, but after an accident, Su Mo no longer wanted to travel.

Five years ago, in the summer, on Mount Emei, Su Mo met an old monk. The old monk said that Su Mo had a connection with Buddhism and asked him to become a monk. Su Mo, of course, did not agree. Later, he would encounter the old monk at every tourist spot, each time saying that Su Mo had a connection with Buddhism.

Thus, Su Mo had to give up traveling.

Su Mo had just told the two aliens about this, and was waiting for their explanation. It was too strange to encounter the old monk every time he went out.

Zeus and Poseidon discussed rapidly, speaking in a language that was neither Chinese nor English, which Su Mo couldn't understand. After about ten minutes, the two aliens stopped discussing.

"Su, except for the first time you saw the monk, all the others were not real, but not hallucinations either. They were mental imprints left by the old monk inside you," Poseidon said. "Based on our inference, the old monk is likely a human with extraordinary mental energy and has learned some mental control techniques. To expel the mental imprints, you can only rely on yourself."

"Su, study our comprehensive combat techniques from the planet of goats. After mastering the basics, you will be able to expel the mental imprints left by the old monk in your body."

Upon hearing this, Su Mo leaned back on the sofa. During the morning exercise, he had only practiced the first move for less than fifteen minutes before his strength was completely drained. To master the basic level of the comprehensive combat techniques, who knows when that would be?

The old monk was quite despicable, but fortunately, the old bald monk only appeared when he went on trips. If the old monk suddenly appeared while he was taking a shower or watching a movie at home... Su Mo shook his head repeatedly; just thinking about it was terrifying.

"Brothers, is there any way to quickly improve my overall abilities? Physical modification? Brain development?"

The technology of the planet of goats should have a way to directly modify Earthlings!

"Sorry, dear Su, our spaceship has less than 1% remaining energy, not even enough to start. The modification equipment is on the spaceship, and the prerequisite is to start the spaceship," Poseidon replied.

"Minimum required energy is 5%," Zeus added.

Su Mo was silent. Without the spaceship starting, everything was in vain. Poseidon had mentioned a way to recharge the spaceship, and the practical action that could be taken was to connect the palm-sized flying saucer model to the power outlet!

However, once connected, it would cause a major power outage!

After a moment of silence, Su Mo spoke: "Poseidon, will recharging the spaceship cause any disasters, like explosions?"

To be honest, Su Mo was somewhat tempted. Eliminating the travel nightmare of the old monk would be great for him. But if recharging caused power lines or power plants to explode, that would be bad.

Su Mo was uneasy.

"Recharging is absolutely safe! I swear by the horns on my head!" Poseidon was extremely serious.

"Su, please trust the technology of the planet of goats!" Zeus was also very serious.

Then, Poseidon smiled and said to Su Mo, "Su, if you are worried that recharging will cause damage to China, we can go to the United States."

"Go to the United States? How?" Su Mo was very curious. Taking a plane, aside from the visa issue, his parents definitely wouldn't give him money.

Poseidon smiled mysteriously, got up, and entered the bedroom. In less than a minute, he came out with something. He placed a cube-like metal box on the coffee table, then lightly pressed it, and a light door was projected on the wall.

"This is..." Su Mo was surprised. Could this thing allow instant teleportation?

"Earth... travel coordinate system. Twenty years ago, we returned to Earth and established this travel coordinate system. With the system, we can teleport from one end of Earth to the other. The travel coordinate system consumes the energy of the coordinate nodes and our own energy, so, Su, don't worry."

High-end!

Grand!

Classy!

Looking at the metal box, Su Mo praised it repeatedly. With this thing, he could go anywhere without needing a car or a plane! In the morning to the United States, in the afternoon to the United Kingdom, in the evening to Japan! The Earth travel coordinate system was truly a magical device!

"My energy is only enough for one teleportation per month."

"My energy is also only enough for one teleportation per month."

Poseidon and Zeus spoke one after the other.

Su Mo was speechless. It turned out that this thing also had limitations. One teleportation per month meant that Poseidon and Zeus could only make a round trip together.

"Brothers, why can't you recharge the spaceship yourselves?" This question had been mentioned before. Poseidon said they couldn't connect the spaceship to the power outlet themselves, and Su Mo couldn't understand why. Were they, as aliens, afraid of Earthlings?

Poseidon and Zeus looked at each other, and Poseidon said, "Su, if it were twenty years ago, this wouldn't be a problem. Now, we are extremely weak, and Earth is not as simple as you see."

Poseidon paused, pointed at the ceiling, and continued, "The most important point is that if we do it ourselves, we might be scanned by something on a certain sphere outside Earth. Once discovered, we can only say goodbye to Earth."

The two aliens looked at each other and began to recite with deep emotion.

"The universe is vast, and there are wonders everywhere."

"Beyond the stars, there are higher heavens."

"Life is not easy."

"We must cherish every moment."

Three minutes later, Su Mo was already in a room of a chain hotel in New York, USA.

Teleportation was an extremely strange experience. Su Mo's head was still a bit dizzy. He seemed to hear a series of moans and English curses from the room next door, apparently from a man and a woman.

"What to do? Should we change rooms?"

Su Mo looked at Poseidon, who shook his head, then at Zeus, who also shook his head.

"Alright." Su Mo took a deep breath, picked up the palm-sized flying saucer, and quietly walked to the power outlet. Something strange happened; a metal prong extended from the flying saucer.

"American people, don't blame me. I was forced by two aliens to steal your electricity."

Aiming at the outlet, Su Mo closed his eyes, and with a push, the flying saucer's prong inserted into the outlet!

"Fuck!"

The power went out! The man and woman in the next room cursed!

The power went out!

Su Mo opened his eyes and looked out the window. The previously bright and bustling city was now rapidly falling into darkness! The power was cut off floor by floor, and one could imagine the view from above the United States!

With the building where Su Mo was as the center, the bright United States was turning dark! Circle by circle, the darkness quickly swallowed the entire United States, even extending to Canada to the north!

"Energy absorption complete, remaining energy 3%, preparing to teleport." In the darkness, Su Mo heard Poseidon's reminder.

Su Mo quickly pulled out the flying saucer, feeling a bit panicked, and asked Zeus to quickly start the coordinate system to teleport. The trip here used Poseidon's energy, and the return trip would have to rely on Zeus.

A light door was projected on the wall, and Su Mo was pulled by the two aliens, one on each arm, and stepped into the light door amidst the intense sounds of the couple in the next room!

Dizziness, intense dizziness! This was the feeling of teleportation!

Fortunately, the light quickly returned, the illusion became real, and the living room, the sofa, and the familiar home appeared.

Home!

"Can't take it anymore!"

Su Mo threw the flying saucer and rushed to the toilet, where the sound of vomiting soon followed.

Zeus and Poseidon looked at the faintly glowing flying saucer, smiled at each other, and sat on the sofa, leaving a space in the middle for Su Mo.

Su Mo stayed in the bathroom for half an hour, vomited, and took a shower. Teleportation not only made him dizzy but also left him drenched in sweat.

Wrapping himself in a bath towel, Su Mo sat between the two aliens. The TV automatically switched to a news channel.

"The latest report from our correspondent: At 23:23:23 U.S. time, a century-scale power outage erupted. The power outage instantly covered all of North America, and the losses caused by this outage are currently being calculated... Our station will continue to follow up on the North American power outage..."

Su Mo took a deep breath, looked at Poseidon, who chuckled, and then at Zeus, who also chuckled. Clearly, the two aliens were very satisfied with their trip to the United States.

A moment later, Poseidon, while eating an apple, said:

"Su, we will continue next month." Zeus, on the other hand, quietly ate a banana, preferring bananas to apples.
