Chapter 269 - New Spirit Be (2/2)

Meng Chao gasped in amazement when he saw this, and he asked Ning Shewo softly, “Can they really produce pets that have all the functions mentioned in the promotion?”

“Spirit Creation is ambitious. They want to create a new generation of even more intelligent pets and think that the term ‘biochemical beasts’ carries negative connotations. It’s not suitable for them to use this term to promote their creations in the market, so they’re prepared to unify the standards of the new generation of intelligent petes and call them spirit beasts. They would be great helpers that cannot go missing from human civilization.

“Right now, their creatures have definitely not reached the standards of what they promote, but this is what they’re working on. They want to gather the advantages of guide dogs, hearing dogs, emergency relief dogs, police dogs, and even military dogs into one, and this creature would then possess the intelligence of a ten-year-old child. That way, they would be able to serve humans even better.”

“Is that so?” Meng Chao fell into deep thought.

Together they went into a reception room with a French window that looked onto the rearing pond of Giant Sandworms. In the room, they met one of the creators of Spirit Creation Creatures, Xie Xiaolei.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties with elegant air, but his eyes were intense, and he was full of life.

His clothes were casual and seemed to be randomly picked, but the texture of the materials was pretty good.

Even if the company was facing a major crisis, he still smiled nonchalantly, as if victory was in his hands.

He was the type of person that anyone would be able to tell that he was one of the creators of a high-tech company.

“Elder Ning, I’m really sorry for bothering you again.” Xie Xiaolei retained an elegant air as he apologized to Ning Shewo. Then, he extended his hand to Meng Chao and said with a smile, “Meng Chao, hello. Recently, your story has been circulating among the alumni of Agricultural University.

“I heard that you led the freshmen of the alliance of the five universities and won against those arrogant geniuses from Dragon City University, which allowed Monster University to feel proud of itself. As your senior, I have to thank you.”

Meng Chao blushed a little. ‘It’s no wonder why his business is so successful. His ability for praising others is amazing, and he does it so subtly too!’

Of course, he also sensed really powerful spirit energy ripples surrounding Xie Xiaolei, especially around his hands and brain. His vitality magnetic field was full of life, and he was a typical supporter-class superhuman. He might have already reached Heaven Realm as well; otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to have the ambition of unifying the standards of the new generation of intelligent biochemical beasts.

The three of them sat down, and Ning Shewo said, “Xiaolei, why don’t you tell us what is going on? I immediately came over after I heard the news, so I still don’t know the details. Just how did this happen?”

“Two days ago, three cases of biochemical pets attacking their owners happened one after another in Blessed Paradise, and it ended in a tragedy of three people dying and one person being wounded. The wounded went through great shock, so their mental strength index fell. This person is currently being treated in the hospital,” Xie Xiaolei said briefly.

Ning Shewo and Meng Chao looked at each other.

Blessed Paradise was a pretty high-grade commercial housing area. Even though it was not as lavish as Dragon City No.1, it was not a place where normal people could live.

The families there usually had a certain degree of economic power. They were the pillars of their units or fighting squads and had a lot of connections, so they could influence various areas to overturn Spirit Creation.

Ning Shewo thought about it and said, “Two days ago? You haven’t performed the corpse inspection?”

“The victims were all inspected. It’s already been verified that they were killed by the three biochemical pets. The three biochemical pets were killed by the neighbors and security guards who heard the ruckus. Their carcasses are a mess, which has been frozen and preserved. We haven’t performed a thorough examination on them. We asked you and Meng Chao here as witnesses to ensure that nothing goes wrong with the inspection of the biochemical pets,” Xie Xiaolei said.

When Ning Shewo heard this, his gaze became sharp. “Xiaolei, tell me honestly. Are there any problems with Spirit Creation’s creatures? I heard that you’ve tried a lot of extreme modification methods to create a new generation of spirit beasts. If this is really a problem with the company, then admit it honestly. If you have to be punished, accept it. Even if you go bankrupt because of it, this is still the best outcome.

“If you have ulterior motives and think that Agricultural University or I can save you, I will tell you straight away that even God won’t be able to save you. At that time, it’s not the police or court who will come to your doorstep, but the adjudicators from the Supernatural Tower, and you won’t even have the time to cry!”

“No way.” Xie Xiaolei defended his innocence. “Even though we’ve tried all sorts of rather advanced modification methods on the new generation of spirit beasts, these three biochemical pets who became violent are old generation models that were modified using well-developed methods. Nothing could have happened to them! There must be someone behind this!”

“Oh? Since you haven’t dissected the biochemical pets before, how can you be certain that someone may be scheming against you?” Ning Shewo asked.

“Because among the three deceased, one of them is from Heavenly Works, a competitor of Spirit Creations,” Xie Xiaolei said. “Right now, Spirit Creations and Heavenly Works are competing for a major project. Spirit Creation’s capital, time proposed for the project, energy consumption, and effect to the environment have all won out. But now, at this critical moment, a member of the middle-rank management was killed by one of the creatures from Spirit Creations. There’s no way such a coincidence can exist!”
