'Reply failed.'
Xie Sen was stunned. He looked at the signal on the screen and saw that it was full. He refreshed the webpage and saw that the two most popular comments under the fight video had suddenly disappeared.
"What happened? Why did the two golden sockpuppets delete their replies? "
"I'm dumbfounded."
"My curiosity is getting stronger!"
There were even more comments from the netizens. They came up with various reasons for the two to suddenly delete their comments. Among them, the one with the most likes was that the two directors had exposed some important information.
At the Contract Beast Research Institute, a tall and handsome man leaned back in his office chair. He spread his hands and said to the man who was staring at him with a smile, "Don't be angry. See, I didn't say my guess, and the reply was also deleted."
"You still have the nerve to say that. Do you think I don't know? If I didn't discover it in time, you would have replied to your guess in your own comments after you fished!"
The man was tall and slender. He propped his hands on the desk and said with a straight face, "Mu Lin, can you grow a brain? You're such a chatterbox. Once something happens, you can't wait to let the whole world know."
Mu Lin leaned forward. The two of them were very close to each other. Mu Lin reached out and wrapped his arms around the man's neck. He raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you afraid of? Aren't you here?"
The man glanced at him and said, "I won't be your assistant for the rest of my life."
Mu Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "Why not? Gu Luo, no matter what, I won't agree to your resignation. "
Gu Luo took down the hand around his neck and said, "Let's get down to business. I just contacted Director Ma. His comment has also been deleted. Now, we have to think of a way to suppress the netizens' guesses."
Mu Lin shrugged indifferently and said, "This is very simple. Just give them a convincing guess."
"Simple? Think of one for me right now! "
Mu Lin said, "You have to follow my comments. Otherwise, contradictions will easily lead to wild guesses. It's a miracle, but it's not a plant. My bold guess … is that it's an animal!"
Gu Luo rolled his eyes. "You think it's convincing?"
Mu Lin tapped the table lightly. "If others say this, it won't be convincing. But if I say it, it's different. I'm an authority on contract beasts. After studying contract beasts for so many years, I've seen all kinds of contract beasts. It's not strange to see one that looks like a plant."
Gu Luo frowned. "When the netizens know the truth and your guess is wrong, it will affect your authority."
"What's wrong with that? Just explain why you're hiding it." Mu Lin looked at him with a smile. "Why? Are you worried about me?"
Gu Luo ignored him and turned on his wristband to make a call. "Let's make a backup plan first. I'll contact Xie Sen and confirm the specific situation before deciding whether to reply like this."
"There's no need to confirm. I'm sure that my guess — that he's a plant-type Contract Beast Master — is absolutely correct." Mu Lin's face was full of confidence. "There was a time when I was very interested in plant-type Beast Masters. After careful research, he fits the bill perfectly."
Gu Luo glanced at him. "Very interested? Indeed, other professional males don't know much about plant-type Beast Masters. Most of their dream lovers are long-eared rabbit contract beast masters. Only professional males like us almost all dream lovers are plant-type Beast Masters. "
"I'm not interested in that kind of thing. Are you jealous …"
The call was connected. Gu Luo put his index finger to his lips and signaled Mu Lin to be quiet. He asked politely, "Is this Xie Sen?"
Xie Sen remembered his father's words. He was worried that someone would investigate the chili tree and ask him about the situation. Therefore, as long as it was a call, he would answer it.
"Yes, who is this?"
Gu Luo went straight to the point. "I'm the assistant to the head of the Contract Beast Research Institute. We want to know more about your identity. Is it convenient for you to come to the Research Institute?"
Xie Sen was puzzled. "My identity?"
"Yes. According to our speculation, you're very likely to be a rare plant-type Contract Beast Master. Maybe you already know about it. You hid your identity very well."
Xie Sen was confused. What was a plant-type Contract Beast Master? He only had a plant-type System!
"Did you guys misunderstand something?"
"Although we're almost certain, to confirm the accuracy, we hope you can come to the Research Institute," Gu Luo said.
Xie Sen said, "I'm sure I'm not."
Gu Luo's tone was calm. "Are you worried that it will bring trouble if people know about it? We promise to keep it a secret for you. There are all kinds of speculations on the Internet now. If we don't deal with it in time, you will be noticed by more people. Only by confirming your identity and understanding the relevant situation can we formulate a perfect solution. "
Xie Sen was convinced. He had seen the heated discussions on the Internet. He was just worried that it would affect him. It was good that the other party could solve it.
"Okay, I'll go over later. I hope that after you confirm that I'm just an ordinary person who hasn't awakened a contract beast, you can help me dispel those messy speculations on the Internet."
"No problem."
Both parties hung up. Xie Sen searched for the address of the Contract Beast Research Institute and turned on the automatic navigation.
Gu Luo said to Mu Lin, "He doesn't seem to know his identity."
"That's normal. I've seen his information. He was adopted. In the past few years, because he hasn't awakened a contract beast, he has been ridiculed by his classmates. The public knows too little about plant-type contract beasts."
"What a pitiful child. I heard that he tried to commit suicide a few days ago. Fortunately, he was saved." Gu Luo sighed.
Mu Lin said, "Remember to contact the Ministry of Education. This year, plant-type contract beasts will be included in the Contract Beast General Knowledge Course. Although plant-type contract beast masters haven't appeared for many years, we should still know about them. Don't let Xie Sen's situation happen again."
Gu Luo looked at him and smiled. He lowered his head and recorded the matter in his work log. "Okay."
After Xie Sen arrived at the Research Institute, he contacted Gu Luo and was brought to Mu Lin's office by Gu Luo.
Mu Lin smiled brightly and stretched out his hand. "Hello, I'm Mu Lin."
Xie Sen was very surprised. Mu Lin was tall and sturdy. He had handsome features and looked very young. It didn't match his identity at all.
He politely shook hands with him. "Hello, Dean Mu. I'm Xie Sen."
"Don't be so formal. Can you let me see your plant-type contract beast?" Mu Lin asked with a smile.
Xie Sen looked at Mu Lin's confident face and suddenly thought of something. If he said that the chili tree wasn't a contract beast, then how could he explain its existence?
Now that he thought about it, it seemed that it was best to let them mistakenly think that the chili tree was a contract beast. He didn't need to think about how to explain it.
He summoned the chili tree. Mu Lin's eyes lit up when he saw the chili tree. He looked at it carefully and asked Xie Sen, "You can sense it, right?"
"Yes." Xie Sen nodded.
"It will listen to your orders?" Mu Lin asked again.
"Yes."
"Other than being a plant-type contract beast, there's no other explanation." Mu Lin concluded.
Xie Sen thought to himself, 'That's because you don't know about the existence of the system.'
Gu Luo said, "I've contacted the inspection department. It's best to give him a physical examination. We also need to record the relevant data. There's too little information about plant-type contract beasts."
"I don't want to," Xie Sen immediately said. "I don't want to be examined."
"Don't worry. We'll just use the equipment to scan him. There's no need for an injection. It won't hurt." Gu Luo comforted him. "Plant-type contract beast masters have very weak bodies. You look very thin and weak. After we understand your physical condition, we can formulate a corresponding nutritional adjustment method for you."
"No need. I'm fine." If the inspection showed that he wasn't a plant-type contract beast master, he would have to think of a way to explain it.
Gu Luo didn't expect him to reject it so much. He had a troubled expression.
Mu Lin looked at Xie Sen from head to toe. "Could it be that you're pregnant before marriage and are afraid that we'll find out?"
"Pfft …" Xie Sen looked at him in shock. "Are you kidding me? I'm a male … a male! I can't be pregnant! "
Mu Lin shook his head. "Almost all plant-type contract beasts are female. Moreover, they're all females with a high fertility rate. Speaking of which, I have to remind you. Remember to wear a condom when you come of age before marriage."
Xie Sen's mouth twitched. He said firmly, "I'm one of the few males. I can't be a female."
"That's very simple." Gu Luo said. "We'll know after a physical examination."
Xie Sen couldn't stand people questioning his gender. They said that there was very little information about plant-type contract beasts. They might not even be able to tell if he was a plant-type contract beast master.
In any case, his pepper tree was very persuasive as a contract beast.
He gritted his teeth and nodded. "Okay."
Gu Luo brought him to an examination room. The examination process was very simple. Xie Sen lay in an instrument that looked like a space capsule. After a while, he was informed that the examination was over.
He was brought back to the office. He sat on the sofa alone and drank water. Gu Luo and Mu Lin went to discuss his examination data.
Mu Lin looked at the data and said proudly, "I wasn't wrong, right? He's a plant-type contract beast master."
Gu Luo frowned. "A plant-type contract beast master needs to absorb plant nutrients to awaken. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer plants to eat. A plant-type contract beast master hasn't appeared for many years. His development is very slow. It's already a miracle that he's awakened now."
His gaze slid down from the examination data. "He's a female."
"That's very obvious. I've seen all kinds of contract beast masters, and none of them are as short as a male." Mu Lin spread his hands.
Gu Luo stared at him and warned, "You absolutely can't say this in front of him." He pondered for a moment. "Oh, he seems to reject the female identity. His physical condition is not good, so he shouldn't be stimulated psychologically. I won't tell him this for the time being."
"I think so too. Anyway, his physical condition is not good. Just remind him not to do adult activities." Mu Lin nodded.
Xie Sen didn't have to wait long before Mu Lin and Gu Luo returned to the office. Mu Lin said, "You're indeed a plant-type contract beast master. You're … a male."
Xie Sen smiled. "I told you." He patted his chest. "A man, a male!"
He secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, they didn't have a deep understanding of plant-type. He didn't expose himself and saved himself the trouble of explaining.
Gu Luo stifled a smile and coughed softly. "Your development is very slow. You're already an adult, but your body is still underage. It's best not to do adult activities for the next year. We'll see how your body is after a year."
Xie Sen thought about the fact that everyone here was male, so he didn't have any objections. He nodded. "Okay."
Gu Luo said, "Your identity is special, so it's not suitable for you to announce it to the public. The solution we're thinking of is for Dean Mu to release a comment saying that your chili tree is not a plant, but a plant-type animal."
Xie Sen was very satisfied with this solution. When he thought about the plants that would be activated later on, he had a flash of inspiration. "Why don't you say it's a mimicry beast? It can mimic all kinds of plants that it has seen before. Coincidentally, I'm a plant-type."
"Okay, that's more believable." Mu Lin nodded.
