A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 146 Matchmaker System (Bonus Chapter for Donations)
The original site of the Zero Point Research Institute was in the Imperial City, but due to long-term losses, it was later moved to a remote small town to save expenses.

That city is quite close to Green Field City, only a few hundred kilometers away.

Shen Tang and his group set off in the morning and arrived in the morning.

Unlike the grand and tidy research institute I had imagined, this research institute looked old and dilapidated, like a makeshift operation, which was hard to believe.

Shen Tang checked the address several times to make sure she hadn't gone to the wrong place.

"Who are you looking for?" The guard at the gate yawned lazily, his beard unkempt, probably not having been trimmed for months.

Shen Li and Jia Lan frowned.

Is this lousy place really not a scam?
Shen Li turned to look at Shen Tang and said gently, "Little Tang'er, there are so many excellent research institutes in the Empire. Why don't we go somewhere else? I also know some people who work at research institutes."

Shen Tang had already raised her favorability ratings with all four of her beast husbands quite high, and since they would be living together in the future, she didn't hide anything from them and told them about her plan to develop inhibitors this morning.

The beastmen were all surprised, but in fact, they had noticed that Shen Tang had been collecting raw materials for the inhibitor these days.

I was only shocked for a moment before I quickly accepted it.

They all had doubts about where Shen Tang got the inhibitor formula, but without hesitation, they didn't ask any further questions.

They're not blind or stupid.

She has seen all the changes in her these past few days.

Whether it's appearance, demeanor, or personality.

There are some things she wants to pretend she doesn't know, and they don't need to expose her.

Anyway, they like their current life very much, and they like Shen Tang even more now. They just pretend to be confused while remaining clear-headed and they are quite happy.

Shen Tang was unaware of what the beastmen were thinking. After hearing Shen Li's words, she hesitated.

The director of this research institute is too shabby.

It's hard to imagine that a rumored scientific genius is in charge there.

Even if the team did have some research elites back then, under such harsh conditions, the core talents would have all left long ago, leaving only those who did odd jobs.

But having already come all this way, leaving like this left her feeling somewhat unwilling.

Shen Tang decided to ask first and see what the situation was like before making a decision. "I have a project I'd like to collaborate on with your institute. May I go in and announce it?"

The guard frowned in surprise, then got up and went inside to announce the news, muttering, "People still want to collaborate? That's strange. This research institute is almost bankrupt; there are hardly any people left..."

Soon, several orcs wearing white coats came out.

They seemed somewhat distracted, looking at the newcomer with surprise.

The five men were handsome and had an extraordinary bearing; they were clearly wealthy and noble.

It's unbelievable that someone of that status would approach their research institute, which is on the verge of bankruptcy.

A bear-like beastman suddenly recognized Shen Tang, "Wait, I've seen you before. Aren't you the former imperial princess who was deposed, the one on the headlines?"

Upon hearing this, the others recalled the headline news they had seen a few days ago and recognized Shen Tang's identity.

The respect in their eyes vanished, replaced by disdain.

I thought a benefactor had come to help me, but it turned out to be a useless good-for-nothing.

"She really has become much prettier, just like the rumors said. But what's she doing at our research institute?"

"Rumor has it that this useless princess is only interested in handsome men and spends all her time researching how to bully women and dominate men. When has she ever been interested in scientific research?" "Heh, who knows what she's thinking? Maybe she just wants to find a research institute to gild her resume? What's the use? Her reputation as a useless good-for-nothing has already spread throughout the empire. It will only make people think she's more pretentious and hypocritical."

"That's right, our research institute is almost bankrupt. If she really wanted to do something big, why would she come to us?"

"Moreover, I heard that this deposed princess's entire fortune was confiscated, and there are news reports that she is heavily in debt. Where would she get the money to cooperate with us?"

"Please leave, esteemed lady. Although our Zero Point Research Institute is in decline, it is not a place where just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come."

Their mouths were full of sarcasm.

Xiao Jinjun's face darkened, and he spoke coldly, "We've come all this way, and this is your attitude? Since when do people who get paid to work dare to be so arrogant!"

Those who know us will think we've come to cooperate with you; those who don't will think we owe you money!

Shen Li smiled enigmatically, "I'm afraid I already know the reason for your firm's bankruptcy."

Jialan coldly swept her gaze across them, "Call your manager out here!"

Lu Xiao's attitude was appropriate. "We have come here sincerely to seek cooperation. Please introduce us to the dean."

The staff members looked rather unpleasant after being subjected to such sarcastic remarks.

Some of them recognized Shen Li and Lu Xiao, and swallowed their sarcastic remarks.

"The dean is in the laboratory on the second floor. Please wait in the reception room first."

One of the females was relatively gentle and led them into the research institute.

Shen Tang and his group followed.

After waiting in the meeting room for more than ten minutes, a tall man arrived.

He was wearing a white lab coat, had brown hair and green eyes, and wore glasses. He was handsome and refined, and his whole demeanor was elegant and composed.

The moment he appeared, the system excitedly exclaimed, "Wow, host, this man is pretty good too! Gene A-grade, recommended four stars! Should you try to win him over as well?"

Shen Tang's lips twitched slightly. This lecherous system really didn't forget its mission, constantly helping her find high-quality men.

If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a matchmaking system!
With her four beastly husbands at home still not fully conquered, she had no time to indulge in the pleasures of other women.

Fortunately, A-rank was not a mandatory target, so Shen Tang, having no interest, muted the system's voice.

The man extended his hand and smiled gently, “Welcome, distinguished guests. I am Wayne, the director of the Zero Point Research Institute. I have already reprimanded those few people who spoke rudely, please don’t take it to heart.”

Shen Tang was surprised that the dean was so young. She raised her hand to shake his and smiled, "It's a pleasure to meet you too."

Wayne was a straightforward man. Without much small talk, he got straight to the point and asked, "May I ask what project you'd like to collaborate on at our research institute?"

Shen Tang readily agreed, "I have a formula for an inhibitor and have gathered all the materials. I would like your institute to help me develop it."

"An inhibitor?" The bear-like beastman scoffed. "Oh, I remember now, Princess Shen Qingli's press conference is in about ten days. You're coming to us to research inhibitors now? Are you out of your mind?"

The other people had different expressions, and their faces were all rather unpleasant.

Who in the empire doesn't know that these two princesses, one real and one fake, are irreconcilable enemies?
The development of any inhibitor requires several years of preparation.

How could it be developed in just over ten days?

This fake princess probably didn't come with good intentions; she just wanted to cause trouble for the real princess at her press conference!
Such behavior is truly despicable, shameless, and disgusting!
