After hanging up the phone, Qi Yuan informed Lv Cheng in advance and then handed Gao Changze his business card.
Mom and Uncle's family found a little brother on the road, and everyone was amused by him, chatting and laughing as they walked upstairs.
Qi Yuan had thought that by postponing the organization's appearance until after the New Year, he could allow the staff of the Duty Bureau to enjoy a peaceful New Year's holiday. However, while Dragon Country celebrated the New Year, other countries didn't care about this.
Under the strong demands of SS-level Superhumans from the other four Five Major Countries, investigations that had been ongoing in various countries began to explode with scandals. Some took advantage of their family backgrounds to stir up a storm of blood and rain, others made desperate counterattacks before being executed, and some even declared independence as individuals or organizations.
Humans almost universally admire strength. In the eyes of some, the actions of certain organizations and outlaws are seen as individuality and courage to rebel.
Teenagers around the world began to exhibit puzzling behaviors, leaving Qi Yuan dazzled.
Dragon Country's vast netizens quickly moved these stories to the domestic internet. After filtering out most of the meaningless gossip, several new posts appeared in front of Qi Yuan.
[The Ancient God Cult claims that the gods will eventually descend upon the world]
[Is there any expert analysis of the data released by the Ancient God Cult?]
[In-depth analysis of the data released by the Ancient God Cult, welcome for rational discussion!]
He clicked on the last post. Contrary to the usual trend, the post was filled with long paragraphs of text and screenshots, looking more like an academic exchange than a typical forum post.
After reading it, Qi Yuan thought that either this generation of netizens was outstanding, or the public relations department of the Duty Bureau was working overtime again.
The Ancient God Cult abroad was unscrupulous, revealing all the top-secret information, including the concepts of SS and SSS levels for the first time. The leaked information also included the abilities of SS-level monsters.
Combined with the Sakura Island Incident and the survivors of New York City speaking out on the internet, people began to understand SS-level and above monsters.
Perhaps sensing that the information couldn't be suppressed, the data pages of major countries started updating to calm the public's panic.
From the screenshots shared by netizens, the certifications of priests and others had become SS-level Superhumans.
[When will our country update the data? Qi Yuan must be an SS-level Superhuman or above, right? I'm more curious about the Nine Seats' power rankings. After all these years of debate, who has been wronged?]
[+1, thinking about SS-level Superhumans being told by S-level Superhumans' fans that they don't deserve the top spot, I can't help but laugh.]
[I've already bookmarked the post, waiting for the excavation.]
Qi Yuan thought of the post he had previously bookmarked, hoping he could dig into it soon.
[Does no one care about the monsters in San Zhu? Are humans going to end?]
[Why worry so much? The higher-ups know better than you.]
[Is it possible that Qi Yuan also wants to celebrate the New Year? (dog emoji)]
[I admit he's strong, but don't blow him out of proportion. If he could solve it, he would definitely prioritize the monsters in San Zhu.]
As soon as the last comment appeared, fans and critics, along with neutral commentators, started a heated debate, with data battles and personal attacks flying back and forth.
Each found their opponents and argued enthusiastically.
The house always wins, and Qi Yuan watched them fight with a smile.
At this moment, Aunt Zhu Xiaotong brought the dumplings to the table, calling everyone to come and taste them.
The little brother washed his hands and ran over excitedly, trying to find the "trash" he made among the beautifully crafted dumplings.
Thinking he had found it, the little brother happily scooped the dumplings into his bowl.
However, when Qi Yuan went to the kitchen to help get the bowls and chopsticks, he had already seen the "limbs" floating in the soup. What the little brother had found was just a replica.
The sound of the Spring Festival Gala echoed in the room, serving as background noise like most people did.
Fireworks rose in the night sky, announcing the arrival of the New Year.
Reflecting the brilliant colors of the fireworks in his eyes, Qi Yuan gazed into the distance.
In the new year, he set a small goal: to become a god!
The next day, countless videos caused a huge uproar, and the whole world was in an uproar.
—The SSS-level monster in San Zhu, just recognized as the strongest monster, was solved by a mysterious organization!
...
Meng Ya, once a prosperous city in San Zhu, was now an "empty" city.
San Zhu already had a relatively strict caste system. After superhumans appeared in the world, the higher-ups reclassified the levels, making life increasingly difficult for those in lower classes.
Perhaps the superhumans and rulers who were once high and mighty never thought that one day, they would die because of the poor people they never cared about.
Before the Ancient God Cult revealed the information, the soldiers sent by the San Zhu government to seal off the area still needed to deal with visitors. But after the Ancient God Cult exposed the truth, no one was willing to come here anymore.
Residents of nearby cities, the wealthy had all moved away, leaving only the poor behind.
The soldiers of San Zhu yawned, their hands pressing on their necks as they turned their heads. This period had been incredibly boring for them.
In such a dangerous place, even the boldest businesswomen dared not approach, let alone date.
"Hurry up, hurry up, this time I'm definitely going to win back my losses."
Someone shouted again to start a card game.
In an instant, the foul smell of smoke and alcohol mixed together rose again.
During this time, someone had a thought of taking a look at the Meng Ya monster, but was nudged by someone next to him, urging him to hurry up and play, so he forgot about it.
The noisy gambling sounds rose to the sky, and they weren't worried about being held accountable.
If the monster were to cause trouble, they would be the first to be affected, not waiting for any accountability.
If someone went in...
The whole world knew that Meng Ya was home to an SSS-level monster. Coming here to die was simply asking for it.
In the corner, the shadow moved, and the person hiding in the dark sneaked away.
He followed the path he had taken and successfully met up with his companions.
"Blaine, how was it?"
Seeing him, his companions' eyes lit up, and the three of them surrounded him, urgently asking.
Blaine grinned, showing more than eight teeth, and raised his thumb with his left hand, "Hey guys, they're completely unguarded, easy to pass."
"I told you."
Mellen's face flushed with excitement, and he clenched his fist.
Bernice, the only woman in the group, couldn't suppress her smile and stepped forward to high-five Blaine.
However, someone was having second thoughts, timidly saying, "Really won't be a problem?"
"Fried,"
Mellen hoisted his backpack higher, his face not looking too good, "No one's forcing you. If you're scared, you can go back."
Fried had asked Mellen to recommend him to join the exploration team, yet he was acting so cowardly. Mellen felt a bit embarrassed.
Doused with cold water, the expressions of the other two also turned sour. They pursed their lips and unconsciously twitched their noses, a subconscious expression of disapproval and disdain.
