The Last Sentinel

Under the lights.

The middle-aged beauty, the Queen Mother of the West, said, "Young friend Ye's talent is truly surprising. It is an honor for our Southern Heavenly Gate Project to have such a genius appear in our Eastern Divine Continent. Welcome to the Southern Heavenly Gate Project! I have a few questions for Mr. Ye."

Ye Feng said, "Please speak, sir."

Kuafu on the right asked, "I've seen your file. Before you entered the underworld, you were being hunted by the [False Man]. Did you have any grudge against the [False Man]?"

Ye Feng replied, "Yes!"

Kuafu asked, "Could we discuss the specifics?"

Let's discuss the details.

How should we talk?

Should I tell you that I'm a time traveler?

Let's not even talk about whether you believe I'm a time traveler or not, even if you do believe it.

So, will you let me add you to the chat group next?

But the group admin, "Sentinel," has already died. How am I supposed to lead you guys into the group?

Then will you start to doubt my loyalty again?

So, as the old saying goes, explaining is just covering up, covering up is dishonesty, and dishonesty deserves to be shot!

Some people, whose identities I can reveal, like the camel and the [pseudo-human] otherworldly nobles, are my kind, no explanation needed.

For some people like you, it's better for me to remain silent. Silence is the Cambridge of tonight.

The silence from Ye Feng created an awkward atmosphere in the meeting room.

Gou Chen on the left said, "Since Ye Feng is unwilling to talk about it, let's not ask any further! Let's talk about the future! Ye Feng, what are your plans for Nantianmen? Just tell us, and Nantianmen will fully cooperate with you!"

Ye Feng was taken aback. Just asking casually, are all the people at Nantianmen this easy to talk to?

However, what Ye Feng didn't know was that this kind of arbitrary selection of departments was unprecedented in Nantianmen.

Facing the gazes of his three superiors, Ye Feng asked without hesitation, "Which department within Nantianmen is involved in space technology?"

Gou Chen said, "The Nantianmen branch has its own space technology research group, but the largest one is the Nantianmen Space Technology and Interstellar Navigation Academy, which is jointly built by the Nantianmen Project and the Shenzhou Nationality on the ground. The Interstellar Navigation Academy is run by the national level of human society, and the Nantianmen Project produces genius core scientific researchers. Its base station radar network is spread all over Shenzhou."

Ye Feng said, "I want to join Starship Academy! To conduct research in space technology!"

Faced with Ye Feng's words, the three exchanged glances. west Wangmu hesitated and said, "Ye Feng, with your research level, going to the Interstellar Travel Academy is a bit of a waste of your time. The Interstellar Travel Academy is more for beginners with weaker research abilities but strong intellect. Moreover, the enrollment scope is for ground personnel, not underground personnel like us. It's not appropriate for an underground genius like you to participate in the Interstellar Travel Academy!"

Gou Chen interrupted, "That's not right. You mean going to the academy to be a student! It's certainly not suitable for someone of Ye Feng's level to be a student, but he would be suitable for a different position."

The Queen Mother of the West asked, "Professor?"

Gou Chen waved his hand and said, "Teach what? Is he even cut out to be a teacher? He's all about research, he doesn't have time for teaching. In my opinion, we should recommend Ye Feng to be the chief person in charge of space research projects at the Starship Academy, with his position and resume arranged according to the vice principal's standards! What do you think?"

The middle-aged woman immediately objected, "The position at the Starship Academy branch isn't low; isn't the vice-principal a bit too high a rank?"

Gou Chen said, "This is already very low!"

The beautiful woman said, "I understand what you mean. With Ye Feng's talent and intelligence, being a vice-principal is just a transitional period for him. His potential and future are not limited to being a vice-principal! But you must also understand that Ye Feng is a newcomer now. He doesn't have much prestige, especially in the ground world. Star Academy is a ground-based institution. You should know better than me what kind of people those on the ground are. The position of vice-principal will only bring him trouble! He might even have a hard time becoming the director of a space research institution!"

Kuafu stroked his chin and said, "That's right, what the Queen Mother of the West said makes sense. Humans in the surface world are very mercenary! Ye Feng isn't a veteran powerhouse, so giving him such a high position would be harming him. Why don't you just do space research in the underground world, Ye Feng? Although our underground research institution isn't as advanced as the Starship Academy base, it's enough for you. It's also relatively safe here, and there won't be any assassinations by [pseudo-humans]!"

Ye Feng's eyes darted around, and he smiled, "I have an idea!"

The Queen Mother of the West said, "Tell me about it."

Ye Feng said, "I have already reached a cooperation agreement with King Arthur. King Arthur will join my group to conduct scientific research. King Arthur is already very famous in the underworld. How about this, let King Arthur be the vice principal and the leader of space technology, and I will be his assistant. This way, everyone will be watching King Arthur, not me, and I won't have any trouble. At the same time, I can immerse myself in and focus all my energy on space technology research. What do you three officers think?"

Upon hearing this, Kuafu slammed his hand on the table, "Well done! It's decided then! King Arthur, why didn't I think of that!"

The Queen Mother of the West smiled knowingly. "King Arthur? That guy is very high-profile, doesn't respect anyone, and has a great reputation in the mortal world! If we let him be the vice principal and leader, no one will bother him!"

Gou Chen stood up and clapped, saying, "The best part is that King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table are one of the most powerful S-class containment teams in the current Containment Foundation. If he goes out on a mission with Ye Feng, Ye Feng's safety will no longer be a problem!"

Kuafu said irritably, "Ye Feng's own combat strength should not be underestimated. He was able to beat King Arthur to a pulp. If the current 'False Man' comes again, it would be like an old man eating poison, courting death."

Gou Chen laughed, "Hahaha! Since that's the case, then it's decided! Target unit: Starship Academy! Ye Feng, your official identity is Chief Space Technology Assistant, but in reality, you are King Arthur's direct superior. King Arthur is officially the Vice Principal and Director of Space Technology, but in reality, he is your bodyguard and follower! I'll send the letter of appointment to the Starship Academy's personnel department right now. You can just take Xuan Nu, Camel, and King Arthur to report for duty."

Ye Feng stood up and expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, three officers! I will dedicate myself to the Nantianmen Project and advance human space technology!"

Gou Chen nodded and said, "Keep going! May our ancestral star protect you, child!"

The meeting ended, and the news spread.

"What? Ye Feng has chosen to return to the surface world and take a position at Starship Academy?"

"How could this happen! Isn't biotechnology the most promising field right now? With his abilities, he could easily shine in biotechnology!"

"Even if you're going to do space research, why not choose to conduct it on an underground space station? What's the point of going to the surface? The surface world is so chaotic; going there is just asking for trouble!"

"King Arthur is going too? Is he crazy? King Arthur! Doesn't he know he's a big shot at the Containment Foundation?! If he goes, how will the containment work proceed? There are only a few S-class squads! If King Arthur goes with Ye Feng, the containment work will be insanely busy!"

"King Arthur has submitted a long leave application to the shelter foundation..."
