Chapter 425 - Rewards According to Deeds (1/2)

Once they were done talking about their injuries, the war situation, and Gao Ye’s survival, what came next was the joyous process of discussion about the rewards they would get from their contributions.

“Do you know that the leaders of the abnormal beast research department are mad with glee right now?”

When they started talking about this, even Lu Siya could not hide her joy. “The adjudicator court is an old law enforcement system in Dragon City, and compared to them, the research department has just been built, so we don’t have a strong foundation. Our resources, connections, equipment, and even our hard power is lacking.

“The adjudicator court also has a lot of criticisms toward our operations. They believe that the crimes conducted by abnormal beasts are about the same as those of lost people, so they should all be given to the adjudicator court to handle. The best would be to give more money and resources to the adjudicator court so that they could create an anti-abnormal beast squad within the adjudicator court itself. The government would then not need to set up another department.

“You can already imagine it. If we were tricked by the abnormal beasts’ scheme this time, didn’t manage to predict their real target, and just watched as the transmigration experts and investors were all killed, we would have failed horribly and ended up as jokes.

“If that really happened, not only would the adjudicator court seize the chance to attack the research department by saying that we can’t do our job properly, thus causing our budget and personnel next year to be largely diminished, the adjudicator court might really form an anti-abnormal beast squad within itself to fight against us.

“At this thought, cold sweat had broken out on the backs of the leaders of the research department.

“Thank goodness they have us, but more accurately, thank goodness we have you. You managed to predict each of the mastermind’s steps as if you have God helping you and helped us win beautifully.

“Based on the news that I received from various channels, the politicians in the Survival Committee and the bigshots in the Supernatural Tower are very satisfied with the abnormal beast research department’s performance. They believe that the experts should handle their own specialties, and so, when it comes to cases related to the abnormal beasts, they should all be given to the research department.

“The budget and the personnel arrangement next week will be a little more biased toward the research department. The research department and the adjudicator court will engage in a healthy competition, and it might help the two law enforcement departments to form an iron wall within Dragon City.

“In any case, after this battle, the research department has really risen to power, and we now stand as equals with the adjudicator court. You’re an off-staff member, but you contributed the most to the battle. While you were unconscious, the captain and the leaders in the department came to visit you while wondering how they should reward and cultivate you so that they would be able to compensate you properly according to your achievements!”

Meng Chao beamed at her after hearing those words.

In his previous life, during the later stage of the Monster War, the abnormal beast research department rose to power really quickly.

There was a period of time when it even replaced the adjudicator court as the strongest law enforcement department in Dragon City. When a problem of investigation popped up, they could mobilize all the resources in Dragon City, including the Red Dragon Army and the Supernatural Tower.

In this life, he managed to get on this “bullet train”, which should be really beneficial to his development in the future.

However, once the Monster War came to an end, the research department had disappeared without a trace. It was as if it had never existed.

That was something strange.

Logically speaking, even if the monsters were thoroughly defeated, the functions of the abnormal beast research department should have just 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 be upgraded to the Other World research department and continue researching the dwarves, elves, giant demons… and all the crazy locals of the Other World.

There was something odd about this, and it was not good.

Regardless of whether Meng Chao was willing, even if he was only an off-staff member in name, his future was already bound to the abnormal beast research department.

He had to find the reason behind why the abnormal beast research department had disappeared without a trace in the future and help it upgrade as well as maintain its throne as the strongest law enforcement department in Dragon City.

“Aside from this, Project 101’s Professor Lu Tianxing and the investors of controllable transmigration technology are also grateful to you. They contact me every day to keep track of your recovery and ask me repeatedly to notify them once you wake up so that they can thank you personally.”

Lu Siya paused for a moment before she said, “Professor Lu is at Deity Realm. He might have been captured by the mastermind and ended up in a very pathetic state, but that’s because he used all his spirit energy to stimulate his brain cells in the field of academia.

“The investors of controllable transmigration are all bigshots who are loaded with money and have the world at their beck and call. If you form good ties with these people, you and Superstar will gain immeasurable benefits in the future.”

Meng Chao nodded.

The Colonization Party was in trend, so if the Home Party could stand as equals with them, then their connections and resources were naturally unfathomable.

The investors of controllable transmigration might not be as rich as the nine great cultivation families, but they were not far behind them.

If it were not for the fact that they had so much money that they did not know how to spend it, why would they actually invest in the bottomless pit that was controllable transmigration technology?

“Next is the Agricultural University,” Lu Siya continued. “You have a good tutor and tutoress. Gu Jianbo and Li Yingzi stayed with you for an entire day and night. They only left at ease once they were certain that your condition had stabilized, that you were just drained in terms of your spirit energy because of the radiation sickness and because your cultivation realm rose too quickly, and you will slowly wake up after you’re replenished with a large amount of high-calorie substances.

“On the second day, the Agricultural University brought over a batch of Apocalyptic Beast materials and mixed them together with the supreme-grade crystals from Sky Pillar Corporation to create supreme-grade medicine that costs tens of thousands. That’s why you were able to reconstruct your blood vessels, nerves, and meridians within just a short three days.
