"Hope?" Gu Qing Shan was a bit doubtful.
"That's right, that's how politics is, you can't do whatever you want just because you've become the President, there are too many gains and losses, so the people have to be put aside first, every party has to prioritize their own benefits, your political enemies will always oppose you regardless of whether they're right or wrong, so there's always a lot of restraints that you can't escape from — — - but what you've done has given me hope"
"You flatter me"
After chatting for a bit, the President went straight to the point: "Actually, there's something that I want to ask your opinion on"
"Please go ahead"
"I want to open up the Genetic Modification Serum's usage rights" saying so, the President observed Gu Qing Shan's expression.
"Martial Potential Enhancement Serum? I have to say, that's a very wise choice "Gu Qing Shan nodded.
"You really think so?"
"Of course" Gu Qing Shan answered, "everyone should have a chance at Genetic Modification to increase their chances of becoming a Professionist"
"With the Martial Potential Enhancement Serum, everyone can at least become a 1-star Martial Artist. This way, when we face the Man Eater Fiends, our chances of survival will greatly increase, that's a really good thing"
The President continued: "But a lot of people — — you know who I'm talking about, they're worried that Genetic Modification will cause social unrest, that it'll make laws useless"
Gu Qing Shan answered: "The Fuxi Empire has three times as many Professionists as we do, yet the Empire is still strong and prosperous without any unrest"
He continued: "From the Genetic Modification Serum itself, we have the Martial Potential Enhancement Serum, Fuxi has the Elementalist Awakening Serum, and the Holy Empire has the God's Chosen Awakening Serum — — in other words, even if all of our citizens are injected with the Genetic Modification Serum, the individual strength of our citizens won't be at an advantage among the three countries"
"Then, why don't we do it?" he concluded.
"You mean, you support me in doing this?" the President asked to confirm.
"Of course I do, with how tense the situation is right now, this is a good thing for every citizen — — - but the 9 Lords might not be too willing"
"Ignore them" the President smiled happily: "There's going to be an international conference to discuss this matter, at that time, all the leaders of the various countries will be there"
"Ah?" Gu Qing Shan was a bit interested, asking: "The other countries also want to do this?"
"That's right, I want you to tell me about it"
"Me?" Gu Qing Shan was taken aback.
"That's right, it's no longer a secret — — the inventor of the Blazing Angel virus, the discoverer of the Man Killer Fiend virus, as a scientist, your name is now quite famous, you're quite influential on the international level" the President said.
"As a scientist, it's more useful for you to talk about the pros and cons than a bunch of politicians."
"Do you really think so?"
"That's right, the Fuxi Empire's Emperor is a practical person, no matter what others say, he'll always listen" the President said.
"If we have his support, this matter will be much easier."
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then nodded: "That's fine, Impartial Goddess will help me remember the time and place, remind me when the time comes"
[Understood, sir] Impartial Goddess replied.
The President stood up and extended his hand. "Thank you very much for your help."
Gu Qing Shan also stood up and shook the president's hand. "It's my honor."
The President sent Gu Qing Shan out of the door, and the two of them chatted as they walked until they reached the small shuttle.
After they left, one of the President's aides came into the office.
This is the President's most loyal follower, ever since before the election, he's always been by the President's side, taking care of various matters, earning him the title of "President's Hand".
Everyone trusts him.
While staring at the door, he quickly took out a small glass bottle.
The cork was roughly pulled open, the yellow liquid inside quickly melted into the President's cup of tea.
Even after that, no one showed up.
He breathed out in relief, fixed his collar and went out with his hands in his pockets.
An hour later, Gu Qing Shan arrived at Jang Young-ho's place.
This was a villa built on top of a mountain, a single door and courtyard, no other structures.
The villa had all the necessary facilities, even a boxing ring.
Jang Young-ho had already been notified by Impartial Goddess, waiting for him at the door.
"You're really something, leaving the Man Killer Fiend brothers to me while happily running away by yourself" Jang Young-ho complained.
"I'm sorry, I had something more important to do at the time" Gu Qing Shan smiled, "did you two get along well?"
"If you ask me, Ye Fei Li is quite nice, but what's up with that bro who came later?" Jang Young-ho pointed behind him.
Gu Qing Shan walked past him and looked into the room.
Only to see Liao Xing sitting on the sofa, holding a pipe in one hand and a bottle of beer in the other, his eyes glued to the projection screen on the wall.
On the screen was a popular idol drama of the year.
"Ah, look at this chick, what a great body, I'll have to find a chance to warp her here" he muttered.
Gu Qing Shan patted Jang Young-ho's shoulder, saying: "He's an old pervert, but he's a great researcher, you don't need to worry too much about him"
"Alright" Jang Young-ho said, "I helped you deal with the world's number one Man Killer Fiend, you need to help me out as well"
"What is it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I did something a few days ago" Jang Young-ho said.
"Speak"
"… It's hard to say" Jang Young-ho suddenly became a bit shy.
"If you don't want to tell me, I'm leaving" Gu Qing Shan walked towards the room.
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you" Jang Young-ho hurriedly pulled Gu Qing Shan back and said.
"Hm — — you know my God's Chosen Skill, Black Cat"
"I know, it's very useful when it comes to finding things"
"Things haven't been going well lately, so my family's elders are worried about my personal life, urging me to find a partner"
"And then?"
"I was bored, so I summoned Black Cat"
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised: "You used Black Cat to find a partner?"
"That's right, I was just bored and wanted to have some fun, but as soon as I said I was looking for a partner, Black Cat immediately ran out, so I had no choice but to follow it — — - if I didn't, it would get angry"
"So you followed Black Cat and found your dream lover?" Gu Qing Shan was even more surprised.
Gu Qing Shan organized her words a bit, then said: "Listen, God's Chosen Skills are sometimes unreliable, you don't need to — — -"
Seeing the expression on Jang Young-ho's face, he slowly shut his mouth.
Jang Young-ho was smiling, his eyes were misty, as if he was staring at a faraway place.
"I know her, but this is the first time I've seen her in person" he muttered in a low voice.
Recalling the scene at the time, he cleared his throat: "She's not really a dream lover, she's just fated to meet, hm, fated to meet"
"Then go chase her, what does this have to do with me?" Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused.
"The problem is, this is a bit hard" Jang Young-ho sighed.
"With your Zhang family's power, there's nothing hard" Gu Qing Shan said.
"It's because the 9 Lords don't really get along with her family's old man, and you have a good relationship with her old man, so I'm asking you to help"
"What do you want?"
"Take me with you, get to know her old man a bit, change his impression of her first"
Gu Qing Shan smiled: "You're thinking quite deeply, who is it?"
"The President's daughter"
"… So that's why"
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then said: "That's perfect, I'll be attending an international conference soon, you can come with me, I'll introduce you to the President"
"Alright!" Jang Young-ho was overjoyed, patting Gu Qing Shan's shoulder: "You're a good brother!"
At this point, the door opened.
The two of them turned to look, only to see Ye Fei Li retracting his bone-spiked wings, landing on the ground.
There were open wounds all over his body, but they've obviously been treated, no more blood flowed out.
Impartial Goddess' voice came from the Holo-Brain: [The Plague Man Killer Fiend has been killed by Ye Fei Li]
"Thank you" Gu Qing Shan smiled and said.
"It's nothing, killing it will help me evolve even faster, not to mention Impartial Goddess' comprehensive medical care"
Saying so, Ye Fei Li's eyes were full of surprise, staring at Gu Qing Shan.
"You've gotten stronger" he said.
