The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly

Chapter 144 Ending
"The Star Alliance's strength has reached this level?" Qian Rujin's team members were incredulous.

The Star Alliance was actually established around the same time as the Star Alliance.

The subsequent education and training system almost completely copied the Star Alliance model, so why is there such a huge gap in strength between the two?

They knew that no support had arrived, and the elites were busy taking on jobs to increase the number of students to be recruited for the next cohort.

"They must have hired some powerful outside help." One team member speculated with certainty: "I heard that Doug, Yuan Tingchao, and Ren Bing, who were recently promoted to five-star hunters, have all been recruited by the Star Alliance. The ones who made the move just now were probably them."

Qian Rujin remained silent. He was certain that the hunter who released the thunderstorm was neither an existing hunter of the Star Alliance nor one of the three newly promoted five-star hunters.

This battle was like a bucket of cold water, making him realize that his departure from the Star Alliance with a group of hunters had not weakened the Star Alliance's foundation.

This is enough to prove that the Star Alliance has many hidden cards in its hands, and this profound accumulation and unknown deterrent power is precisely what the Star Alliance lacks most.

Indeed, the choice of a school principal is very important.

Principal Yan's years of experience and extensive network of contacts are unmatched by ordinary people.

What made Qian Rujin's team even more bitter was that after all their hard work, the topic that generated discussion afterwards was neither the battles between the Star Alliance nor the strength of the Star Alliance.

Instead, it's about the well-coordinated duo of Yun Fei and Lian Xinyi, and the mysterious figure who single-handedly challenged the giant monster.

Ultimately, both the Star Alliance and the Star Alliance seem vast and distant to the average person.

People rarely have a glimpse into the inner workings of a large organization, so they naturally prefer to focus their attention on the hunters who shine with individual brilliance.

After all, the legendary stories of heroes are far more intuitive and engaging than understanding the complex tactical systems of an entire team.

The comments section and various discussions below the recorded video made Qian Rujin's team members feel embarrassed, as if a heavy hammer had been hit on their heads.

Fortunately, they only recorded the video for later editing and promotional purposes, and did not start a live stream, otherwise they would have been even more "disturbed".

Their team's performance has been largely ignored amidst the current media storm.

Because, in comparison, their fighting seemed too normal, so normal that it resembled hunting large animals with guns, reeking of a plastic hunter's mentality.

In fact, when they actually dealt with the Mystic Spirits in the contaminated area, they were far from being that incompetent.

It can only be said that, under certain circumstances, the actual operation (show) deviates significantly from the effect they envisioned.

Fortunately, the reporters were professional and realized that the content of the live broadcast needed to be changed when the live footage was heavily blurred.

He then skillfully turned the camera on himself and interacted with the online audience.

"Xizi, haven't you always wanted to do an in-depth interview about top hunters? Don't miss this opportunity, go and interview them, I want to meet the hunter standing on the greatsword." Several similar comments flooded the screen eagerly.

"I know that male hunter whose skin is so white it's unreal. His name is Lian Xinyi, and he's the son of Governor Lian," another comment followed.

"Hey, you guys better watch your step. We should just focus on the hunter himself, don't dig up his family!"

"Lian Da Lao's family background is alright, at least he won't be targeted by villains. Other hunters' families may not be safe, so please don't expose their privacy casually."

Rational comments deterred those who couldn't resist sharing their "well-informed" information.

Many people reported the comment that revealed Lian Xinyi's family background, but the comment was quickly deleted after being identified by AI, so it didn't have a big impact.

“Look at Xizi, she must be so shocked that she can’t speak.”

Moxi and his journalist friends looked at each other in disbelief, more than being shocked, they thought the Star Alliance was really good at hiding things.

"Let's turn off the live stream and talk."

Mao Xi said goodbye to the audience, "We can no longer broadcast the event live, please understand."

No matter how the audience tried to salvage the situation, all the reporters went offline.

If you're even a step behind, you'll be invited to the police station for a couple of days of questioning.

As soon as the live broadcast was cut off, the reporter in the passenger seat lowered his voice and said, "Listen carefully, we must keep that small figure we just saw a secret. If it leaks out, everyone here, including myself, will be subject to the most severe interrogation."

Some reporters were unconvinced, their eyes darting around as they secretly estimated how many Star Coins they could sell their exclusive scoop for.

Mao Xi saw this and knew he had to completely dispel their wishful thinking.

He explained from a unique perspective: "If the other party is an adult, there is still room for negotiation after the news gets out. But the other party is a minor, which means that she is naturally protected by an 'absolute shield' of the law. Think about it, even if... I mean, what if, the other party comes to our door because we betrayed her information, and just gets rid of us, according to the current laws, she doesn't even need to go through a formal trial. We would just die for nothing, understand?"

Those present were stunned by these words.

Originally, I planned that if someone came looking for information and offered a high price, I would keep it secret and conduct the transaction privately without anyone noticing.

From another perspective, the nature of the event immediately becomes chilling.

They don't have a powerful force behind them, and the other side was specifically trained to deal with the Mystic Spirits. Who knows if they might suddenly become mentally unstable?

This is not Mao Xi exaggerating.

The reason the government collectively manages these children with special abilities is to prevent them from causing trouble by using legal protection.

Children who awaken special abilities at a young age are, frankly speaking, potential dangers to society and "uncontrollable factors" that require high vigilance.

Centralized management, dedicated guidance, and shaping of values ​​can reduce many unnecessary social harms.

As long as someone awakens, both the Star Alliance and the Star Radiance Alliance will try their best to get them back into school, unless the other person's superpowers pose little threat to society, in which case all efforts will be in vain.

Therefore, upon closer examination, many seemingly bizarre or even harsh regulations often conceal profound considerations and foresight that are difficult for ordinary people to grasp.

In the entire interstellar society, ordinary people usually cannot understand the profound thoughts of the top designers, and those who make the rules do not need to deliberately try to figure out the specific thoughts of ordinary people.

They only need to build the framework and lay the track, and ordinary people will naturally move forward along this path and adapt and act in ways they can understand.

Just like the system of the Early Childhood Allocation Center and Star Alliance Academy. Parents happily send their children to Star Alliance, driven primarily by the tangible benefits, better living conditions, and a higher starting point in society.

As for the considerations behind this system, they don't need to know them, nor can they truly understand them.

Mao Xi's words completely extinguished the hidden flames in the hearts of some people.

When the military and the Star Police arrived with the confidentiality agreement, everyone obediently signed their names on it. Not to mention bargaining, even the thought of trying to gain extra benefits vanished without a trace.

Old Wang, who was in charge of cleaning up, and Xue Wanshan exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised by the unusually smooth progress. Old Wang couldn't help but ask tentatively, "You... really guarantee that you won't leak any information privately?"

The reporters nodded in unison, their eyes revealing a profound understanding.

Unless someone holds a gun to their head, they will surely remain silent about what they saw today.

Having addressed the issue of maintaining confidentiality at the scene, the focus now shifts to the core of the incident.

Why do parasites and deformed organisms appear in clubs?

The members of the Star Alliance and the Star Alliance were taken to separate hovercars for questioning.

Old Wang and Xue Wanshan then approached the club's employees, attempting to piece together clues about what happened before the incident.

When questioned, a club employee nervously recalled, "The entire floor where the incident occurred was booked three days ago, and we didn't know the lease term."

"During that period, we cleaners were strictly prohibited from entering that floor. The manager explained to us that the guests were very distinguished and had their own dedicated cleaning staff, so they did not need our services."

"By the way, the elevator has been breaking down very frequently in the past three days, but the manager hasn't reported it for repair."

"There's another strange thing. Someone once came to the club to complain that their family member couldn't be contacted after coming here for an interview, as if they had disappeared. But when we checked the surveillance footage, it showed that the person did indeed leave the club on their own."

Old Wang accessed the police station's internal electronic records and found the date the missing person case was reported, which was just the day before yesterday. Further details would likely require asking the officers at the station.

Leaving that aside for now, Xue Wanshan inquired about the club manager's character.

"Our manager is very good. He doesn't delay wages, and there's extra compensation and gifts for working on holidays. He's just a bit strict with his employees."

"The manager has been acting normally lately, and everyone is working hard for Mr. Lei's activities."

"The first floor was renovated the year before last."

“I have met the three guests before. I know one of them; he is indeed of noble status, the owner’s nephew. I have not met the other two.”

"There are so many customers coming and going, I can't remember them all. The manager can remember them, otherwise why would he be the manager?"

Old Wang and Xue Wanshan crossed their arms and watched as the manager was dragged out of the ruins. He died with his eyes wide open, his eyes wide open. During his escape, he was accidentally hit by a stone that flew up when the monster struck him.

Preliminary forensic examination indicates death by asphyxiation.

Whether it is compressive asphyxia or traumatic asphyxia needs to be determined using the institute's instruments or by performing an autopsy.

“We just finished investigating the origins of the last assassin, and now another nephew from the Hara family has arrived. Rich kids are the most difficult to deal with. I hope we don’t hand them over to me.”

Rich kids have professional legal teams, so police officers can often only conduct limited investigations.

A young policeman whispered something in Old Wang's ear. Old Wang was furious and poked the young policeman on the forehead, saying, "You think you're so smart."

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear; the Yuan Du family has arrived.

They weren't the only team conducting the investigation here; this young police officer, in a particularly cheerful mood, bumped into them, thinking that first come, first served.

Who knew I'd take on the most difficult task?

Old Wang could only suppress his temper and turn around to talk to the Yuan Du family, with Xue Wanshan following behind.

……

Two days later, Xingyuan obtained some crucial information through Liang's assistant's channels.

"According to the Yuan Du family, the identity of the two-winged monster you dealt with has been confirmed by them. It is the biological son of the Dong family's nephew, and its strength is roughly equivalent to a two-star spirit master. The reason why the Dong family's nephew arranged for him to be placed there is because a quantum filter network was set up there. The quantum filter network was originally intended to be a live/recorded viewing room for the Star Glory Alliance's web hunting, but their biological AI project failed, so it can only be left idle for the time being."

“The son of the owner’s nephew, this relationship is really complicated.” Su Ninglong couldn’t help but complain. “It seems that the Yuan Du family is quite honest. How do they plan to end this? Is someone instigating this behind the scenes? And how did that grand-nephew of the club owner become a monster?” Su Ninglong pressed.

"Honest? This is precisely their smartest crisis management tactic. By proactively admitting some facts and getting law enforcement to back them up, they can quickly silence public opinion and leave hostile forces and trolls with no leverage. The Yuan Du family is known in the industry for its speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness in handling negative public opinion." Lei Qingya opened her chat history with her mother and interjected, her tone tinged with lingering fear, "My dad is also under investigation. Fortunately, he doesn't have shares in the club, and the planning and execution of this event were outsourced to the cooperating film company. I have to say, my dad's ability to avoid risks is truly masterful."

Those parasites had nothing to do with him either; otherwise, if Lei's father had been arrested and imprisoned, Lei Qingya wouldn't have known what to do or how to help him.

Xingyuan continued to tell Su Ninglong the key points of the report, "Both parasites and the mutant are all superhumans, which is why they are so powerful after the mutation."

Xingyuan then brought up another point, "I remember you also experienced a simulator instance with the Yuan Du family before..."

"Who?"

“Yuan Duwei, you are the inner court students who caused fatal damage through medium fluctuations inside the elevator.”

Su Ninglong remembered; it was that violent madman.

"What is the relationship between Hara Watari and the club owner?"

"The owner of the club is Yuan Duwei's great-grandfather. The great-grandfather's nephew is Yuan Duwei's uncle. So the person who had the accident is of the same generation as Yuan Duwei."

"Was Yuan Duwei's great-grandfather related to the Star Alliance?"

"His second son is a major shareholder of Star Alliance, and his eldest son's son is a minor shareholder of Star Alliance."

Su Ninglong and Lei Qingya were both surprised. "This family is really amazing." They were amazed by the complexity of the other family members and their ability to control so many companies.

"Go on, tell me how those three turned into monsters."

"The reason given by the Yuan Du family is that these three people are too bored and like to mess around with themselves and do adventurous things. They have the strength of a two-star spirit master, but they have not received formal training to enter the contaminated zone. They believed some rumors and, in order to avoid being contaminated when entering the contaminated zone, two of them actively summoned secret spirits to parasitize them before entering the contaminated zone."
