Chapter 254: Chapter 242: Siege, Lift Him Up! Lion’s Big Mouth, Makes People Shiver! (2/3)

Qian Lang said with a gentle smile, "Captain Chu, are you interested in joining the Longhua District’s Scientific Research Institute? A part-time position is also available!"

"I represent the government of the district, and I formally invite you to join us."

Chu Feng was speechless. Join? What sort of thing is joining, to be researched?

"Sorry, I am still a student and I need to focus on my studies. I am afraid I don’t have time for a part-time job," he declined flatly. Only a fool would agree.

Ge Yunsong, Lin Zhong, and Xu Tianci also looked at Qian Lang disapprovingly, thinking he was trying to steal a march on them?

Lin Zhong said indifferently, "Secretary-General Qian, have you finished asking your questions?"

I want to say not yet, but you guys might want to gang up on me, right?

Qian Lang muttered internally, stood up, and shook hands with Chu Feng, revealing a sincere smile, "Captain Chu, we have now fully understood the situation.

"On behalf of the government, I thank you for your significant contributions to Longhua!

"Once the situation is verified and reported, the government will formally commend and reward you..."

"Don’t talk about later, Secretary-General Qian. Promising big but delivering little is not a good habit.

"Even an old scholar like me knows that in Longhua, we value rewarding contributions and punishing mistakes. Dragging this till later loses its meaning.

"Whether it’s thanks or a reward, you should consider what Chu Feng needs and apply for those,"

Ge Yunsong interrupted with a smile, winking surreptitiously at Chu Feng and whispering through transmitted voice, "Old man has stalled him, you can aim higher!"

Qian Lang kept his composure and said with a smile, "What rewards can be given isn’t something I can decide at my level, and reporting it will take some time, but I assure you that I will expedite the process..."

Before he could finish, Xu Tianci chuckled and said, "Chu Feng has made such great contributions and earned us so much military merit, our Demon Annihilation Army knows how to repay debts of gratitude, we are not stingy to our benefactor.

"The storeroom door is already open, here’s the list. You can choose anything we have, receive it the same day; we will handle the procedures."

"..."

With these words, they directly undermined Qian Lang, blocking his prepared speech.

Lin Zhong, not to be outdone, waved his hand boldly and said, "The Demon Elimination Army too, send Captain Chu the list!

"Pick whatever you want, choose the most expensive ones, I’ll cover the expenses!"

"..."

Well then.

The three of them were in perfect sync, taking turns speaking, effectively reversing Qian Lang’s attempt to control the narrative, creating a bit of a no-win situation for him.

Agreeing readily may appear overstepping.

If he didn’t agree, once he left, these competitive fellows vying to show themselves off might even trample over him.

He was quite favorable towards Chu Feng, and the situation was turning somewhat disadvantageous for him.

However, he was an experienced politician, calmly picking up his tea cup, sipping from it while his mind raced.

A moment later, setting down his tea cup, he smiled and said, "Principal Ge does make a point, so please Captain Chu, tell us what you need.

"I will report it and ask the superiors to consider it, trying to meet your expectations, but I can’t give any definite promises."

Ge Yunsong curled his lip, these bureaucrats all talk the same way, they say the right things but play their Tai Chi really well.

...

The principal’s got backbone!

Chu Feng silently gave Ge Yunsong a thumbs up in his mind.

He was indeed facing a problem right now, one that even Lu Lin couldn’t solve, and he had mentioned it before, making this a good time to bring it up.

Lu Lin was standing at the back of the meeting room, making eye signals to him.

Chu Feng made up his mind, took the lists from the Demon Elimination Army and the Demon Annihilation Army, and glanced over them, his eyes instantly dazzled.

The densely packed items on the list fully displayed the sincerity of both the Demon-Slaying and Devil-Eliminating Army.

Chu Feng felt dizzy looking at them; obviously, deciding what to choose wasn’t something he could do quickly.

He put away the list and asked,

"Secretary-General Qian, I need a high-grade ultimate skill, preferably of Heaven Rank. Do you think you could push for that?

"In this battle, I realized that I hadn’t been able to fully utilize my combat power..."

His voice trailed off as he noticed everyone’s expressions across the room weren’t quite right.

"..."

Silence!

The meeting room quieted down, everyone’s expression turning a bit weird.

Alright, does Chu Feng think too little of the items on the list?

"This Lion’s Mouth really opens wide, demanding a Heaven Rank Ultimate Technique right off the bat!"

It created another problem for Qian Lang.

Heaven Rank Ultimate Techniques aren’t just about having or not having them.

There are many experts in the district, some of whom definitely possess Heaven Rank Ultimate Techniques.

The issue is whether or not they are willing to give them away!

Ultimate Skills are generally closely related to Secret Techniques, and often one can deduce the general operational methods of the accompanying cultivation techniques from the Ultimate Skills.

Giving someone the Ultimate Skill that accompanies a cultivation technique is tantamount to completely exposing one’s own techniques to them.

Unless it’s passed on to one’s own sons or grandsons, or perhaps a disciple or apprentice who is as dear as a son.

Otherwise, who would agree!

However, Heaven Rank Ultimate Techniques generally need to be combined with the corresponding cultivation techniques to enhance one’s Qi effectively!

This forms a vicious cycle—

An Ultimate Skill that doesn’t expose the cultivation technique isn’t a Heaven Rank Ultimate Technique.

If a Heaven Rank Ultimate Technique is given away, the cultivation technique will undoubtedly be exposed!

Moreover, Ultimate Skills also pertain to personal safety issues; they are what many experts can rely on in dire situations, the last and strongest force.

Experts at this level will certainly have enemies, whether outside their race or within.

Might as well expect there to be a lurking enemy nearby, waiting to bring them down.

And when facing deadly danger, whether it is about survival or dragging the enemy down with them, most likely they’ll rely on the Ultimate Skill they have.

But if the Ultimate Skill is leaked, and the enemy is forewarned...

Then just wait to die, no one can save you!

So, no one would risk their life to contribute their used Heaven Rank Ultimate Technique, at most they’d contribute something of the Earth Rank or lower.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Qian Lang, who wore a smile but his body stiffened slightly.

Curious to see what this old fox would say.

...

"..."

Qian Lang silently looked at Chu Feng, feeling a deep chill.

The people in this conference room had all become his enemies.

All eager to press him hard!

It was incredibly chilling!

But after a moment of contemplation, he still had to say, "Captain Chu, I’m sorry, but the district can only provide Ultimate Skills of the Earth Rank and below.

"If you need it, we can award you an Upper Earth Grade Ultimate Skill, but for Heaven Rank... you would need to become a disciple of one of the Martial Arts Grandmasters and learn from them."

Chu Feng felt slightly regretful. Don’t they have any in the district?

As for becoming a disciple, let’s forget it.

Building trust is not easy, changing a master and exposing secrets would be disastrous.

Ge Yunsong smiled faintly from the side: "Upper Earth Grade? Yan University has those too; it’s a small matter, no need to bother the government.

"Why not switch to a Mixed Origin Force for protection, complementing ’Law of Heaven and Earth’, wouldn’t that be proper?"

Chu Feng’s eyes immediately lit up!

Right, Mixed Origin Force works too!

Not only could it be a game-changing trump card, but it could also add a Self-created Martial Skill when needed!

He had long wanted to know if Upper Heaven Grade was really the limit for Martial Skills.

Given a chance, he could definitely create two top-notch Martial Skills above the Heaven Rank!

"..."

Qian Lang stiffened even more.

Only Yan University had the capability!

Only this Old Ge liked to lead the way!

Mixed Origin Force, that’s essentially the foundation of Mixed Yuan experts, it would be odd if they were willing to give, where to even ask for it!

Submitting this report, right after it’s handed in, it’ll get critiqued!
