Beast Tamer: Super Lucky Starting Contract
Chapter 56 Meeting in the Southern Region
Just when Mo Xu and his companions were in trouble in the secret realm, a lot of things were happening in the outside world.
First, there was a big fight at the exit of Jiangming City, which was the culprit that caused Mo Xu to suffer an accident.
Even though Yu Long was a high-level king, he was still a dead thing after all, lacking spirituality, and was successfully killed by the combined efforts of the five masters.
A huge dragon corpse lay coiled in the wilderness of Jiangming City. Large tracts of clearings were cut out from the vast forest, revealing the horror of this battle.
If Mo Xu hadn't thought of the secret realm in a moment of desperation, the three of them would have surely ended up dead.
As the battle ended, the alarm in the southern region was finally lifted, and the military region went to the field to carry out the aftermath. However, because someone had previously filmed a video, the incident was still widely discussed online, and there were even many conspiracy theories.
"Is this...a dragon?"
"Fuck, there are no dragons now."
"I have inside information. My uncle said it's a king-level dragon in the wild."
"Your uncle is a piece of shit. My uncle is from the military district. This thing is just in the shape of a dragon. It is a million miles away from being a real dragon."
"What is dragon form? Please explain."
"The city won't fall, right? Is the southern region no longer safe?"
There was a lot of discussion online, so the Southern Military Region even held a press conference to explain the general ins and outs of the matter. It was said that a new secret realm had appeared in the wild, and a monster had escaped. It was not the real dragon in the legend, but a jade dragon statue that had become a spirit. This calmed down many of the rumors and speculations.
Even so, some people still smelled a different atmosphere. In a relatively peaceful era, being approached by such a demon beast, who can tell whether there is an "accident" behind this that only the top leaders know about.
In the Southern Military Region, Commander Cui showed no expression after listening to the spokesperson's report at the press conference. He said, "Alright, let's leave it at that. Go out and have someone call the group of people from the secret realm to come to a meeting. Oh, and call Venerable Bian as well."
The relevant personnel were all in the military area and had not gone back. After hearing the call, they came over one after another. They were the masters who had encircled and suppressed Long that day. Of course, there were others who had returned from missions in the wilds of the Southern Territory.
The last two to arrive were two old ladies, arm in arm, talking and laughing. They didn't seem to be there for a meeting but more like a group of girlfriends shopping, which was out of place with the solemn atmosphere in the office.
Some masters who were familiar with these two people complained in their hearts that only these two great gods dared to be so "unbridled" in the military region, especially the one who was called Grandma Bian by the outside world. I'm afraid she dared to play tricks even when attending the executive meeting at the alliance headquarters.
Commander Cui rubbed his forehead and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's discuss two things. One is the nature of this incident. We have already given an explanation to the outside world, but how to deal with it internally needs to be decided. The second is the secret realm. The level of this secret realm needs to be changed, and related research and supporting things also need to be discussed."
"Let's talk about the first one first," Commander Cui looked around at everyone, "Please feel free to speak up if you have any opinions."
"What else can we do? Whoever caused the mess should be held responsible."
The first person to speak was an old man who sat in a rather heroic posture and was wearing an old palm-colored vest.
This person is none other than the master sent by Jiangming City, Yuan Xian, the beastmaster who possesses the "Extreme Phoenix Bird". He also has another identity, that is, the principal of Jiangming City No. 1 Middle School.
When the young master riding the Pegasus heard what Master Yuan said, he retorted: "Master Yuan, you have a point. If that's the case, I'm afraid everyone here is responsible."
The young master who controls the Pegasus is called Chen Yuyang, and he is only 29 years old. If it weren't for Ju Conghan, he would be the youngest master in the entire Southern Military Region.
Chen Yuyang and Master Yuan had some grudges and they had never gotten along.
"If there is, then there is. I didn't say there isn't." Master Yuan retorted, "You can punish them together, but we have to rank them in order of priority. You are responsible for the dragon that escaped from that corner of the secret realm, so you are undoubtedly the main culprit."
"The portal is not far from the area you are responsible for. This means that your responsibility is no less than mine."
The two were tit for tat.
Although Chen Yuyang had the lowest strength among those present, he was able to go to the Southern Region for the cleanup this time because he was supported by people above to help him gain experience. However, something went wrong.
But he was the son of the Chen family, young and promising, so many people present did not want to offend him.
In addition, if it is determined to be a man-made disaster, then everyone present will inevitably be punished, so someone immediately tried to smooth things over: "Why are Lao Yuan and Xiao Chen so angry? Aren't they discussing it? They didn't say it had to be so serious."
This was a man with scowls. After he had played the role of peacemaker, he turned to Commander Cui and said, "Commander Cui, we are indeed responsible for Yulong's escape this time. But we can't blame Lao Yuan and Xiao Chen entirely, because the space-time portal did appear suddenly. If it hadn't happened, the beast wouldn't have affected the people no matter how much trouble he caused in the secret realm."
The master's words were much more pertinent. The time-space portal was indeed unexpected. Even a master like the old woman over there couldn't see through it for a while.
As soon as these words were spoken, several other masters also echoed them.
Another old woman next to the old woman surnamed Bian spoke. She had a dignified appearance and a calm tone, and it could be seen that she must have been a famous beauty when she was young.
"Commander Cui, I think since nothing serious has happened and the evil has been killed in the wild, there is no need to investigate further."
This person's words were obviously quite important. Commander Cui, who had just watched the masters quarreling coldly, also responded after listening to it: "Yes."
The old woman over there heard her bestie talking, and there were also a few younger people related to her in the field, so she also joined in: "That's right, Xiao Cui, what Lao Yue said makes a lot of sense, that's enough. The emergence of this space-time portal is not all bad, at least the research value has doubled."
"alright."
After everyone expressed their opinions, Commander Cui also expressed his position: "Then I will not impose substantial administrative penalties on this matter, but you will also be punished slightly. All masters who participated in this year's regular tasks will be criticized within the association, and 30% of their regular task remuneration will be deducted."
The masters present all breathed a sigh of relief, which meant picking up high and putting down lightly. As a master, he naturally did not rely on that little reward to make a living, but just did some superficial work.
Commander Cui didn't finish his words, and continued: "Chen Yuyang neglected to guard, and on this basis, he will be deprived of the epic materials provided by the association next month."
After hearing this, Chen Yuyang's face turned pale, feeling embarrassed and painful. After all, epic materials are only provided once a month, and even masters cannot get more than one, so they are very precious.
The other people present stopped joining in, fearing that they would get into trouble and displease Commander Cui again.
Chen Yuyang glanced at Master Yuan angrily, cursing in his heart: "If it weren't for this old man interfering, how could this happen?"
There was a disturbance in the Southern Region, and the person who suffered the most shame was Commander Cui, the apparent person in charge. But when he saw that the matter was settled, he let it go and talked about the second thing.
"Since Venerable Bian also mentioned the time-space portal, let's discuss the level of this secret realm. When we reported it during the previous raid, the level of the secret realm was determined to be a mid-level monarch. But now it seems to be more than that. Just talking about the time-space portal, I'm afraid it's enough to raise it to another level. In addition, we have made some discoveries in the past few days..."
Commander Cui did not go into details: "In short, it is not objective to be rated as a mid-level king. Now let's discuss whether to raise it to... Quasi-Immortal level!"
Several masters were insiders, and they followed the clues from the escaped Yu Long and found out something incredible, which could be said to be the biggest discovery in the Southern Region this year.
A master saw Commander Cui's expression and was a little puzzled: "Commander Cui, I think the Quasi-Immortal level is feasible. Since we have gained something in the Southern Region this year, it is a good thing. Why are you so hesitant? What's the reason?"
Commander Cui looked around at everyone and said, "This is exactly what I want to tell you. You all come from various cities in the south, and you are all leaders. You can represent your own side, so today we are all on our own, so let's talk behind closed doors."
Hearing this, all the masters sat up straighter, and even the most unruly old woman named Bian looked more serious.
Commander Cui said slowly, "Last month I held a very high-level meeting at the headquarters in the capital. I cannot reveal the specific content. What I can say is that this year, several quasi-immortal-level secret realms were discovered throughout China, and there were even two immortal-level ones."
"In other countries and regions, this situation is also more obvious. The number of secret realms unearthed this year is far greater than in history. The headquarters thinks this is some kind of "omen", so they issued an order that all secret realms above the quasi-immortal level discovered since last month must be taken over by the headquarters for research."
Having said this, everyone present could understand.
If the headquarters takes over the secret realm, then they in the Southern Region can only drink soup but not eat meat. How many resources does a quasi-immortal-level secret realm need? Even masters and venerables would be jealous.
Besides, the secret realm discovered during this raid is not truly fairy-level, it is far from it. Otherwise, no matter how courageous Commander Cui is, he will have no room for maneuver and must report it.
This secret realm is accessible to both quasi-immortals and high-level kings and can be "negotiated".
The old lady surnamed Bian was the first to speak up and said, "No, Lao Yue and I must personally handle this secret realm. No one from the headquarters can help. I will call your master in a moment. What a stupid rule."
The old woman surnamed Bian could say this, but Commander Cui, as the person in charge of the southern region, could not respond. He could only keep a stern face and show no emotion.
Master Yuan and the old lady surnamed Bian were old friends, and seeing this, he said, "Venerable Bian, isn't our secret realm a high-level king? Are there any quasi-immortal beasts? No. It just happens that there are some good things, but when can we find these good things, who knows?"
Master Yuan meant that we should decide on the king level first. As for the good things we discovered, that would be a matter for “later”. We should eat the meat ourselves first, and it would not be too late to change the level and report it later.
This not only complies with regulations, but also ensures autonomy.
When he is not angry with Chen Yuyang, Master Yuan has high IQ and EQ, and is a very experienced and wise man.
After hearing this idea, the other masters all thought it was a good idea, and one even "perfected" the suggestion, saying that they should put some of the good things back first and pretend not to know.
Each master could represent the attitude of each city, and after a few words, the entire south reached a tacit understanding.
Commander Cui nodded and said, "Okay, then we will set the secret realm to a high-level monarch level, and tentatively decide that Venerable Bian and Venerable Yue will be in charge of the research."
Old Lady Bian said to her old friend with a smile: "That's right, Lao Yue, if you can fully understand this space-time gate, we might be able to make a breakthrough."
Several masters were secretly shocked. If these two made another breakthrough, they would be the group standing at the top of the Chinese pyramid.
After the two major issues were finalized, the meeting came to an end. After that, there were only some miscellaneous matters, which were quickly resolved and the meeting was adjourned. The masters also prepared to return to the cities they were guarding.
At this point, the dramatic dragon-falling incident in the Southern Region came to an end.
After everyone left, Old Lady Bian stayed behind, obviously having something to say.
"Xiao Cui," she said solemnly, putting aside her usual incoherent expression, "Tell me the truth, is the 'recovery' about to enter a new stage?"
Commander Cui took a sip of tea and said nothing.
The old woman slammed her hand on the conference table and said, "You don't want to tell me, right? If you don't tell me, I'll ask your master."
Commander Cui said helplessly: "Master won't tell you either. This is top secret."
"He dares!" The old woman's girlish voice rose a few notches: "If he doesn't tell me, I will go to the Capital Military District and put up a banner saying that he raped me when he was young..."
Commander Cui became anxious and immediately stood up and covered her mouth, but the old woman started biting her.
Commander Cui dodged and said, "Auntie, please be quiet for a while. I'll tell you what I'm going to say."
Old lady Bian looked like a child who had found a toy, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes smoothed out a little.
"I can only say," Commander Cui sighed, "Headquarters suspects that it is more than just "resurrection"..."
The old woman's smug look disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by surprise.
