"Fine, fine," Adam replied as he gently stroked Lorelie's hair, who shot a gloating smirk at Aphrodite, whose eyebrow twitched.
[Lizziethetruepower (Palalxia): Did Diva Lorelie just shoot Diva Aphrodite a gloating smile?]
[OfficialMuriel (Aqua Primus): Looks like it.]
[OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): That's my girl. 👍]
[LadyErkath (Deverinian Prime): Who knew she had such a mean streak. 🤣]
{"Got it."} The leader of team two suddenly said as the lines of code on the universal hacking tool all stopped moving before the display flashed green for a couple of seconds before going blank.
The leader removed the tool and stored it back in the pouch on his belt just as the door to the safe opened with a slight hiss.
Inside was an assortment of items, including numerous data drives, folders that appeared to contain paper documents, bags of white powder similar to what Adam had seen in the drugs den on Trillion and several differently coloured small bottles of liquid.
[Superhearofangirl (Earth): Are those drugs? It looks like the powder we saw that gang packing up back on Trillion.]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): You mean that Party Time stuff?]
[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): Probably.]
[Justiceistruth (Earth): What's the owner of an entertainment company doing with that shit?]
[MercheadAnderson (Palaxia): I'm more curious about what's in the bottles.]
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): Medication?]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Normal people don't store medicine in a safe, idiot.]
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): They do if it's the kind you buy from shady dealers down back alleys.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): And you know this how?]
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): Saw it in a movie.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Uh huh, sure. But you're right; it's probably some kind of illegal medication.]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): It could also be drugs.]
[HackerSu (Trillion): Or performance enhancers.]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palaxia): Maybe it's Biggus Dickus.]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): …. You're kidding, right?]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palaxia): About what?]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): That name is this some Monty Python sketch?]
[Puntanghunter69Ver2 (International Space Station): I was thinking the same thing 😂]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palaxia): It's the name of a drug that temporarily enlarges a man's dick and increases his body's energy production so that he can go longer.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Damn. I wish my ex-boyfriend had some of that.]
[CEOHopkins (Earth): Agreed.]
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): You mean like Viagra?]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): That just gives the guy a boner; it doesn't make his dick bigger.]
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): Your dick gets bigger when you have a boner.]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): … I can't really disagree with you there. But that's not what they're talking about.]
[CEOHopkins (Earth): Couldn't they come up with a more suitable name?]
[Justiceistruth (Earth): Well, I guess it does exactly what it says on the tin. 😂]
[Whostolemyduck (Earth): What are the side effects?]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): None, really. Unless you count having to drink diluted Nagareen cum.]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): WTF! When you say cum, you mean?]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Cum, semen, sperm.]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): Oh fuck. 🤮]
[Most of the male Earth viewers: 🤮]
[Superhearofangirl (Earth): Why are you men getting all disgusted by that?]
[CEOHopkins (Earth): Yeah, you ask us women to drink it all the time.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Fucking hypocrites.]
[CEOHopkins (Earth): Any other side effects?]
[HackerSu (Trillion): Your body enters a state of exhaustion for a short while after the effect wears off.]
[CEOHopkins (Earth): That's kind of to be expected, though, since it was working overtime producing extra energy.]
[Whostolemyduck (Earth): Then why is it illegal?]
[HackerSu (Trillion): Because it's never passed universal health tests and been authorised for official sale.]
[Whostolemyduck (Earth): Why?]
[HackerSu (Trillion): Some unknown chemical or something that they failed to analyse. Since they couldn't confirm it, they couldn't allow its official sale.]
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): Sounds fishy to me.]
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Probably smells it too since it's cum. Kekeke]
"I see what you mean," Adam said, turning to Aphrodite before adding, "most people don't know the secret about it."
[HackerSu (Trillion): Secret? What secret?]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Yeah, tell us what you mean, streamer.]
"It's not surprising; who would want to admit what happened to them after using it? Also, the Nagareen who produce it aren't exactly going to advertise it, are they?" Aphrodite replied with a smirk.
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Trust Diva Aphrodite to know about Biggus Dickus.]
[HackerSu (Trillion): She seems to know some secret about it, I guess she told the streamer.]
[MercheadAnderson (Palaxia): Come on, streamer, fill us in.]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palaxia): Yeah, what's the big secret?]
"Are you going to tell them?" Aphrodite asked curiously as she read the chat.
"I will let you decide whether or not to reveal it," Adam replied.
"Why?" Eri asked curiously.
"Because I doubt the Nagareen race will be happy once this information becomes public knowledge. They will most likely go after the individual who revealed the information, me," Aphrodite replied in understanding, while showing Adam a grateful smile.
"So what will you do?" Lorelie asked with a concerned look.
"Is that concern I see in your eyes, Diva Lorelie?" Aphrodite teased.
"For my friend's friend, don't go assuming anything," Lorelie scoffed, causing Adam, Aphrodite and Rowena to chuckle.
"I think a bit of Stacey's stubbornness is rubbing off on you," Adam commented with a smile.
[OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): I'm not stubborn, even if I was, what's wrong with that?]
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): That's what someone stubborn would say. Kekeke.]
[HackerSu (Trillion): For once, he's right, Stace.]
[OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): You're agreeing with 1000yearsofdeath over me? 😳]
[HackerSu (Trillion): Just that you're stubborn about some things.]
[OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): Hmph 😤 Whatever.]
[HackerSu (Trillion): See 😊]
[OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): 😠]
"Stop teasing poor Lorelie and answer the question," Rowena said to Aphrodite.
Aphrodite thought for a moment before saying, "While I don't fear one or two Nagareens since I can easily handle them, I don't particularly want to make an enemy out of the majority of their race. So I think I might keep quiet about it for now."
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Booo.]
[Justiceistruth (Earth): Lame. I wanted to learn the secret.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): It's probably the correct decision, to be fair. Biggus Dickus is big business for many in the Nagareen race.]
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): Don't you mean BIG business? Kek.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): So lame.]
"I guess you also don't want to interfere with that other group's use of it," Adam stated, but seeing Aphrodite's confused look, he added, "the one you're talking to about the toys."
[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): Toys? Why would a group that wants toys be using Biggus Dickus?]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Maybe the streamer is talking about sex toys?]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Seriously? Who the fuck uses those things? They suck.]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): Women commonly used them on Earth.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Well, seeing as you don't have access to VR sex movies like Diva Aphrodite makes, I can understand why.]
"Oh!" Aphrodite said in understanding before continuing, "Yeah, that's not really a concern. While they do provide Biggus Dickus to their clientele, it doesn't earn them many credits."
As the group was talking, everyone saw the leader of team two reach into the safe and retrieve a rectangular card that looked similar to a bank card on Earth.
{"Got it."} The leader of team two said as he pinched down on one corner, causing a holographic projection to appear above the card showing several sets of numbers with what seemed to be a small section of a circle that was slowly disappearing as they looked at it.
{"Good, give us the codes,"} Number Nine ordered.
{"Standby, the codes are about to reset."}
"What's that?" Adam asked curiously.
"Impressive, they actually have a rotating code lock," Rowena said with surprise before adding, "I wouldn't have thought a mid-level company like this would pay the credits for one."
"It's a super high-level lock that only the rich and powerful tend to have on their safes or doors they don't want people getting through," Aphrodite explained after noticing Adam's still confused look.
"Let's take safes, for example. I'm sure you know that normal safes either have a code or a password that the owner can set and then has to enter every time they want to open the safe. Or maybe access cards, where you normally need to put the two access cards into access ports at the same time on opposite sides of the safe door, meaning you need two people to open it.
A rotating code lock is a lock that has its code randomly reset to a new code at random intervals. Because of how it's so random, it's practically impossible to hack with the universal hacking tool as we witnessed before."
"So the different lines of numbers are the code, and that circle that is disappearing is the timer that shows how long before the code changes?" Adam asked.
"That's correct, though, as I said, the time the code remains the same is always different. Sometimes it's so short that even the owner of the safe doesn't have enough time to input the codes before they change again."
"That seems strange, having your own door that even you can't access," Adam replied with surprise.
"Maybe, but it guarantees that it's practically impossible to hack."
