The Leader remained calm without a change in his expression.
Wang Teng shrugged. No matter what the answer was, they had already started the research. What could he do?
Were they going to release the creature and say, âThis is all a misunderstanding. Letâs be good friends in the future.â
Bullshit!
Wang Teng looked at the creature in front. He remembered something and asked, âDid you say itâs very powerful?â
âYes, more powerful than any human martial warriors.â The Leader was exceptionally serious.
Wang Teng was shocked. An idea flashed into his mind, and he blurted out his thoughts, âSo the countries on Earth want to decipher a path to become stronger from it?â
The Leader looked at him in admiration. âYouâre indeed smart.
âThatâs right. We want to find the secret to becoming stronger from it. We have only reached the general stage. If we donât achieve a breakthrough, we will be at a disadvantage against star beasts, dark apparitions, and unknown aliens.â
âWhat have the other countries found out?â Wang Teng asked again.
âI donât know.â The Leader shook his head. âThis is why I brought you here.â
âI donât think you brought me here just to see this alien, right?â Wang Teng asked with bright eyes.
âThere will be a global exchange event soon. It will be held on Mount Saint, and only youths aged 25 and below will participate in this event. I want you to represent our country for the event,â the Leader said directly
âA global exchange event?â Wang Teng was puzzled. He had never heard of this event.
âIt has been held many times, but normal people donât know about it.â
âDo you want me to find out what the other countries have discovered?â Wang Teng asked.
âThat is one reason. I also hope that you can suppress the younger generations of the other nations to show the strength of our country.â The Leader said, âOur performance has always been average. But with the current changes in the world and the restless star beasts and dark apparitions, we need to display more power to have more initiative.â
Wang Teng understood. He was there to be a coolie. They called him over from Donghai and went an entire round to tell him this.
He had reached the brigadier general stage and was close to becoming a low-tier general. He had probably surpassed all the younger generation talents in the world.
âWhat benefits will I get if I agree?â Wang Teng smiled and asked. He didnât agree immediately.
âIndeed, you wonât commit yourself until you get what you want.â The Leader smiled and asked, âWhat do you want?â
Wang Teng hesitated before saying, âI took many treasures from the Darkland and want to turn them into cash. Can you help me settle this?â
âYou took treasures from the Darkland!â The Leaderâs expression turned weird. He was a little surprised. âHow much?â
âA few trillions,â Wang Teng said shyly.
âPfft!â The three commanders who had been silent all this while widened their eyes in surprise and looked at Wang Teng as if he were a monster.
The Leader choked too. He kept quiet for some time before he said, âIâll ask someone to take care of them. Just pass them to me later.â
Wang Teng nodded. âCan I observe this alien?â
âWang Teng, we have gathered the top talents in the nation, but no one managed to find anything. Donât waste your time,â the scrawny commander couldnât help but open his mouth.
âIâll just take a look,â Wang Teng sniggered.
âSure. Iâll ask someone to open the cabin,â the Leader said. âNo need, Iâll use my spiritual power,â Wang Teng said.
The Leader nodded his head. It was recorded in his data that he was a divine spirit master. Hence, he wasnât surprised.
Wang Teng noticed that the two attribute bubbles were already disappearing, so he immediately sent his spiritual power out.
He picked it up.
Constellation Force (Fire)*10
Constellation Force (Fire)*12
This is? Wang Teng was flabbergasted.
Constellation Force!
And it was a fire element constellation Force.
As the constellation Force merged into his body, Wang Teng felt a certain change.
He pulled out his attributes panel and looked at his Force column. There was a new Constellation Force (Fire) entry: 22
This constellation Force was different from his other fire Force. It seemed strangely more powerful.
However, this wasnât the time to look into it. He pretended to use his spiritual power to scan the alien a few times before retracting it.
Suddenly, the alien opened its eyes.
â%&ï¿ Â¥*#â¦â It struggled frantically and made strange and inaudible sounds with its throat.
âQuick, quick. Give it a huge jab of anesthetic. Donât let it struggle,â the person-in-charge who was talking to the Leader just now shouted.
The staff around them started to get busy. After a series of operations, the anesthetic was injected into the alien through one of the tubes.
The alien gave a frustrated and angry roar. Its eyes popped out, and it went back to sleep again.
The Leader and the others seemed used to this scene. They shook their heads helplessly.
Wang Teng glanced at the Leader and then at the alien. Suddenly, he found this fellow a little pitiful.
It had been locked up for 18 years and was treated as an object of study. Its life was dark.
âDid you discover anything?â The Leader asked.
âItâs Force seems powerful.â Wang Teng thought for a moment. He didnât want to say anything at first, but he figured it wasnât good, so he gave an ambiguous answer in the end.
âThat is the direction of our research. Unfortunately, we havenât found a way to alter our Force,â the Leader said.
âYou think that this Force is a mutation of our Force?â Wang Teng read between the lines.
âHigh possible,â the Leader said.
Wang Teng nodded in deep thought.
âAlright, you have taken a look at it. Do you have any other requests?â the Leader asked.
âThatâs all. I agree to go for the global event.â Wang Teng didnât make any requests and agreed to the Leaderâs suggestion.
âLetâs leave.â The Leader walked out of the laboratory.
Wang Teng threw a sad look at the alien in the cabin. He wished that he could gain more attributes bubbles from it, but this wasnât a place he could enter whenever he wanted.
He didnât make this request just now because it was too sudden, and he was asking for too much.
After they came up, the three great commanders arranged Wang Teng and Dan Taixuanâs lodging and let them rest. Three days later, Wang Teng would board the military aircraft heading to Mount Saint. As they watched him leave, the lofty commander asked curiously, âWhy didnât you ask him about the rock body? He seemed to have found the path forward.â
âWe will know what we need to know. He will tell us when he feels he can say it,â the Leader smiled and replied.
The three commanders were silentâ¦
