Once they were done talking about their injuries, the battle situation, and Gao Ye's life and death.
Next, it was time for them to be rewarded based on their contributions, which was a delightful topic.
"Did you know that the leaders of the abnormal beast research department are so happy that they're going crazy?"
When she talked about this, even Lu Siya could not hide the happiness on her face. "Compared to the adjudicator court, the old law enforcement organization in Dragon City, the research department has just been formed, and we're not as confident. Our resources, connections, equipment, and strength are still a distance away from the adjudicator court.
"The adjudicator court is also quite critical of our actions. They believe that the abnormal beasts' crime patterns are the same as lost people's, so they should be handled by the adjudicator court. It'll be best if they give the adjudicator court more budget and resources so that they can set up an anti-abnormal beast department. There's no need for them to start from scratch.
"I can totally imagine how big of a failure it would be if we were fooled by the exotic beasts' schemes and failed to predict the true target of their attack, watching as the transmigration experts and investors were wiped out right before our eyes. How big of a joke would that be?
"If that's really the case, not only will the adjudicator court seize the chance to attack the research department for not doing their job well, our budget and personnel for the next financial year will also be reduced by a large margin. In fact, the adjudicator court will really set up an anti-abnormal beast department to fight against us.
"When the leaders of the research department thought about this, they broke out in cold sweat.
"Thank goodness we're here. More accurately speaking, thank goodness you're here. You predicted the abnormal beasts' mastermind's every move as if you had the help of God, and you won a beautiful victory.
"I've received news from various channels that the politicians of the Survival Committee and the leaders of the Supernatural Tower are very satisfied with the abnormal beast research department's performance. They believe that everyone has their own specialties, and it's better to hand all the cases involving abnormal beasts to the research department.
"And the budget and personnel for the next financial year should be more inclined toward the research department. The healthy competition between the research department and the adjudicator court might help the two law enforcement organizations work together to form an iron wall in Dragon City.
"In any case, after this battle, the research department has truly risen to power, and it can now stand on equal footing with the adjudicator court. You're a non-staff member, and you're the greatest contributor. While you were unconscious, the captain and the leaders of the department came to visit you. They're thinking about how they should reward you and train you so that they won't let down your contributions!"
Her words made Meng Chao's face light up.
In his previous life, during the later stage of the Monster War, the abnormal beast research department rose to power very quickly.
There was a period of time when they even replaced the adjudicator court to become the strongest law enforcement organization in Dragon City. Once the title of an investigator rose, they could mobilize all the resources in the Red Dragon Army and the Supernatural Tower.
In this life, if he could get on this "special express train", it would definitely be of great benefit to his future development.
However, after the Monster War ended, the abnormal beast research department vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.
That was a strange thing.
Logically speaking, even if the monsters were completely defeated and the functions of the abnormal beast research department changed, there was no reason for it to disappear completely.
After all, there were all sorts of strange intelligent life forms in the Other World. The abnormal beast research department could totally upgrade to the Other World research department and continue investigating dwarves, elves, trolls, and all sorts of Other World locals.
Something happened here.
It wasn't a good thing either.
Regardless of whether Meng Chao was willing or not, even if he was just a non-staff member in name, his future was already tied to the abnormal beast research department.
He had to find the reason why the abnormal beast research department would vanish without a trace in the future and help it increase and maintain its position as the strongest law enforcement organization in Dragon City.
"Aside from that, Project 101's Professor Lu Tianxing and the investors of controllable transmigration technology are also very grateful to you for saving their lives. They contact me every day and pay attention to your recovery. They asked me repeatedly to inform them once you wake up so that they can thank you in person."
Lu Siya paused for a moment before she said, "Professor Lu is in Deity Realm. He might have been captured by the mastermind and ended up in a pathetic state, but that's because he used all his spirit energy to stimulate his brain cells and pour it into the academic field.
"And the investors of the controllable transmigration technology are all rich people who can do whatever they want. If you form a good relationship with them, it will be immeasurable for you and Superstar's development in the future," Meng Chao said.
Meng Chao nodded.
If the Home Party could stand up against the Colonization Party, which occupied the mainstream, then its connections and resources were naturally unfathomable.
Even if the investors of controllable transmigration technology had not reached the level of the nine great cultivation families, they were not far from it.
If it were not for the fact that they had so much money that they did not know how to spend it, there was no way they would have been willing to pour it into the bottomless pit of controllable transmigration technology.
"Also, Agricultural University," Lu Siya continued.
"You have a good tutor and a good tutor's wife. Gu Jianbo and Li Yingzi stayed with you for a day and night. When they were certain that your injuries were stable and that you were just drained of spirit energy due to the radiation and leveling up too quickly, they said that as long as you took in a large amount of high-calorie substances, you would gradually wake up, and they left in peace.
"On the second day, they brought a batch of Apocalyptic Beast materials from Agricultural University and mixed them with the supreme-grade crystals from Sky Pillar Corporation to create supreme-grade medicine that is worth more than ten thousand taels of gold. That's how they managed to reconstruct your blood vessels, nerves, and meridians in just a short three days.
"Based on their tone, Black Tortoise Zong Yue from Agricultural University's martial arts course was also very surprised by your performance. Once you recover and return to the university, he wants to personally guide you."
Meng Chao heaved a long sigh of relief.
He remembered how Black Tortoise Zong Yue had spent a lot of effort to place the beast soul brand in his brain when he rushed to the northern frontlines a year ago.
He had fought against the illusory Black Tortoise day and night and continuously practiced the Ultimate Style, which was why his cultivation realm and fighting strength had increased by leaps and bounds, and he had reached Heaven Realm so quickly.
At that time, he had even said arrogant words in front of Black Tortoise Zong Yue that he would help Agricultural University's martial arts course challenge Dragon City University's martial arts course, which lived up to its name.
He had never forgotten this oath.
He believed that it would not be long before Agricultural University's martial arts course became the strongest in Dragon City.
"In any case, we made the right bet this time," Lu Siya said with a grin.
"Even though you took a huge risk, the rewards are great. Connections, resources, glory, status, everything you want will soon come rolling in. You might even become an idol that everyone will pay attention to!" Meng Chao was so happy that he could not close his mouth.
He said humbly, "I don't think so. Ah, I don't think I'll become an idol."
"Why not? We've come at a good time," Lu Siya explained with a smile.
"It's like this. Based on the newest strategy the abnormal beasts are using, they want to intensify the conflict in Dragon City and sow discord between the Home Party and Colonization Party, as well as the superhumans and normal people. Didn't you come to the same conclusion when you tried to convince me the other day?
"To get rid of the abnormal beasts' schemes, the higher-ups are strengthening their propaganda and education. They want to learn and implement the ideals that superhumans are the weapons of human civilization and that the blood of the strong should flow for the weak. They want Dragon City to become more harmonious, united, and beautiful.
"For this reason, it's necessary to create a few model superhumans.
"With your status, fighting strength, and speed of leveling up, along with your ability to predict the enemy's schemes and kill the abnormal beast's mastermind, it would be a waste if we don't make you into a model. It would be a waste of all your hard work!"
She was right.
If he did not have the clue about the X-shaped eye, Meng Chao might have accepted it calmly and become an idol for Dragon City.
But now, he was a little worried. If he was too flashy, he might attract the attention of the abnormal beasts, Supernatural Entities, and even the mastermind who created the Supernatural Entities.
There were plenty of things that he could not hide, such as the fact that he had managed to predict the Demonic Abyss Eye's schemes and killed it.
But if that was the case, Meng Chao believed that he would not be too high on the monster civilization's blacklist.
At the very least, he would not be higher than the transmigration expert Professor Lu Tianxing and the others.
But if he worked together with the propaganda and became a hero that everyone paid attention to, an idol that countless teenagers idolized, and even appeared in the dreams of thousands of girls, his status would change.
In this way, he would definitely become a flag that fought against the monster civilization.
Even if it was just to destroy the humans' morale, the monster civilization might launch consecutive assassinations against him.
Meng Chao was not afraid of assassinations.
In truth, as a member of the Ghost Tribe in his previous life, he was skilled in Walking Corpse and Bizarre Stab, so he was familiar with more than one hundred assassination techniques.
But he had to think about his family, especially his sister.
Before he investigated all the clues, he did not want his sister to awaken to her Night Demon Bloodline ahead of time and turn into the Dark Witch, which would add a few more variables to the already chaotic battle.
After thinking about it repeatedly, Meng Chao decided to humbly tell Lu Siya that he had managed to successfully stop the abnormal beasts' scheme because of his superior's calm command, the Red Dragon Army's timely reinforcements, the unity of the citizens, and the powerful fighters' trust in him. Most importantly, Lu Siya had been supporting him from the side and had fought with him until the last moment.
Hence, the credit belonged to everyone. If he had to create a model hero, then everyone could be a model hero, and he had only done some insignificant work with everyone's support.
"Big Sis Ya, you know me. I'm a person who has broken free from low-class interests. To me, the title of model superhuman is like a fleeting cloud in the sky …" Meng Chao said sincerely.
"If the title of destroying the scheme and killing the abnormal beasts is really that important, then whoever wants it can take it. You just have to convert your reputation into money, stocks, property, or cultivation resources of the same value and compensate me with it."
