Terra Martial God and Merit System

[It is related to the disappearance of many Ursus merchants. According to incomplete statistics, the investment promotion conference held one month after Luo Chen was conferred the title attracted more than ten companies to visit, but most of the company representatives disappeared for various reasons.]

[Faced with questions from the families of the missing, Kamsik said they knew nothing.]

[In December 1086, the top leaders of the Ursus Sixth Army disappeared collectively. After that, Kamsk's city defense army quickly arrived at the army's base and took over related affairs.]

[In January 1087, the towns around Kamsko were cleared out, and all the mayors and their families were slaughtered.]

..........

[In January 1087, the Ursus Empire Parliament sent an investigation team to investigate the relevant situation. On the day of the trial, the head of the investigation team and the chief judge of Ursus died suddenly on the spot. The investigation was therefore interrupted.]

[Most members of the inspection team disappeared inexplicably on their way back, resulting in vacancies in the parliament of the Yan Empire, which in turn caused huge political turmoil.]

.........

[In March 1087, Saratov sent troops into Kamsk territory on the pretext of searching for missing residents. Kamsk defeated the enemy's army that day and captured Saratov in the evening.]

[Lochen personally executed Count Naik, the lord of Saratov, and his staff. The reason was that they colluded with Casimir and intended treason.]

..........

[The following are comments from the compiler:]

[Luo Chen is undoubtedly the most famous and concerned person in Ursus recently. What he does is incomprehensible. In fact, looking through the existing history of Terra, it is difficult to find such a ruler who has done so many crazy things in less than a year after taking office. ]

[Of course, if we consider his relationship with Grand Duke Koschei and Emperor Ursus, we may be able to glimpse some connections among these complicated matters.]

[For example, after the members of the investigation team disappeared, a political struggle arose over the vacant seats in the Imperial Parliament. Emperor Ursus benefited from this political struggle.]

[From this analysis, we can conclude that Luo Chen is just a small part of the political struggle in Ursus. The political chaos in Ursus may be beyond our imagination.]

[Note by Dr. Edeglamy, History, Columbia University]

There is not only text information on the screen, but also many photos.

For example, the photo of Luo Chen judging the lord and officials of Saratov was the first one they saw.

It's just that the description seems to be a bit wrong. The data says that the citizens of Saratov were panicking because of fear. But in the photo, you can see at a glance that they were cheering and laughing.

The data room fell silent, and the three of them stared at each other. Facing the data that appeared in front of them...

They were so shocked that they didn't know what to say.

Chapter 153 I found you!

"This can't be him."

An investigator spoke up, breaking the silence.

"That's true." Another investigator nodded. "An Ursus Count came to Columbia to cause trouble... Why would I have such a dream?"

Jeston glanced at the information with disgust.

The sight of Luo Chen’s hands covered in blood made him feel uncomfortable – he had thought these nobles would be more elegant.

The Count of Ursus? That's it?

"It's just a means of attracting attention." Jeston sneered, "Just like a robber likes to leave a scar on his face. Disguising as a celebrity is also a way to escape capture."

In some robbery cases, some robbers will not wear things like stockings on their heads, but will leave a scar that can be removed.

In this way, when committing a crime, people's attention will be focused on the scar on his face, and other details will be ignored, which will make it inconvenient to collect evidence.

To Jeston, it was essentially the same thing.

A certain mercenary whose name is unknown chose a count of Ursus as a disguise.

After all, the earl's reputation made it easy for him to disguise himself - you see, he had no racial characteristics at all.

Jason was a little disappointed for no reason.

He thought this person was some powerful person, but he turned out to be just a cowardly guy who didn't even dare to show his true face to others.

It seems that the pillar of fire that caused the death of the experimental subject was not his work at all, but some new type of weapon.

"But... the matching rate is 95.32%. This is already very high." An investigator discovered a detail, "Not to mention that we used portrait scanning, which may have some details that are wrong."

"Such a high degree of match....it can be said to be exactly the same."

"Hehe... that's also fake." Jeston shook his head. "A count from Ursus traveled a long way to Colombia? Everyone knows that this is completely impossible."

"Of course, the high degree of match means he used some special disguise."

"It is said that there is a race of Sarkaz that is particularly good at disguise. There are too many things in this land that we have never known. This kind of thing is insignificant."

"Just remember that he is just a cowardly guy who is afraid of death."

Jeston stretched out his hand and clenched his fist tightly. "I can beat ten of these people at a time!"

"So what do we do next?" the young investigator asked. "He's good at disguises... Can we continue?"

"Let's try it first." Another investigator said, "No matter what, we can't just sit there doing nothing."

So everyone left the data room and went to the government database.

With the help of the top management of the Beach Umbrella Company, they got the green light and directly entered the huge database, then put Luo Chen's face in and started searching.

"Buzz..."

The computer room was buzzing, and the investigator felt uneasy.

If the other party is really very good at disguise, then after doing this, he must have changed his face.

So the result is likely to be nothing.

[Ding——Relevant results appear.]

Unexpected results appeared again and again.

[Matching target appears, detection location——]

[Kirk Individual Weapons Manufacturing Company, Research Institute No. 3]

A photo popped up. It was a picture of their target, walking into the institute in a swaggering manner.

The three were shocked again.

No one expected it to go so smoothly.

They found each other's traces in no time and also dug out the mastermind behind the scenes.

"I take back what I said before." Jeston said, "This guy is really bold..."

"Kirk Individual Weapons Manufacturing Company...it seems to be just an ordinary arms dealer. And it has dealings with the Department of Defense. I didn't expect them to do such a thing!" The investigator gasped.

"Why? Is it because what Dr. Elway Palmer is researching is likely to succeed?"

"...." The investigator felt his scalp tingling. This matter involved too many things, and it was really beyond his ability to handle.

So he quickly wrote a report, stating everything he had investigated and all his speculations, and then submitted it to his superiors.

The top management of the beach umbrella company Yuan took this very seriously. A small board meeting was held and they quickly decided what should be done about it.

Absolutely intolerable!

At least the blame for the deaths of so many important people should not be put on oneself.

So they assigned a team and went to Institute No. 3 together with the two previous investigators and Jason.

The mission is - 'The suspect must be arrested and brought to justice. Anyone who dares to stop us is the enemy of the company!'

...........

"Change the environment?" In the office of Institute No. 3, Yodel repeated Luo Chen's words.

"What environment?"

"An environment where you can conduct scientific research freely." Luo Chen said, "I know what you are researching - a gun that can get rid of Originium to the greatest extent possible."

"Let's say I have a mature idea. Would you like to try it?"

"Mature ideas... about guns, you mean?" Yodel asked.

"That's right. I know a lot about firearms..." Luo Chen stood up, "It's really interesting to say that there is no such weapon in this land."

"My idea is very simple - we completely abandon the Originium and use a completely new method to construct this weapon." Luo Chen said.

"Completely abandon Originium?" Yodel suddenly laughed.

That is the smile a scientist has when he hears ridiculous remarks in his familiar field.

Yodel didn't even feel fear anymore - "Everything in front of us, the pen in your hand, the clothes on your body, the furniture around you, all came from Originium Industries."

"We can't abandon them. It's absolutely impossible!"

"If I say it's possible, then it's possible." Luo Chen said.

He took out a bunch of things from his backpack - all of which he had collected on the road.

Saltpeter, sulfur, cotton, sulfuric acid...

There is also a bunch of zinc-copper alloys.

What Luo Chen finally took out was a pile of bullets.

Yodel took a step back when he saw this. These bullets were filled with Originium dust, and if they exploded, it would be the end of them.

"Don't be afraid." Luo Chen said, "Feel carefully, these things don't have any source stone."

Yodel was stunned for a moment. He held the pen in his pocket - that was his magic unit, and closed his eyes.

"Indeed... there is no Originium. Why are you showing this to me?" he asked.

"Next, listen to me." Luo Chen played with the bullet in his hand, "The principle of this thing is very simple. When the bullet is fired, the primer detonates the gunpowder, generating high-pressure gas, which forces the bullet to shoot out of the barrel..."

"gunpowder?"

"This is the source stone substitute in this key." Luo Chen replied, "Listen to me first."

Next, Luo Chen transformed himself into a chemistry teacher and explained the principle of bullets.

Yodel was incredulous at first, then he began to ponder... and finally -

It dawned on him.

Luo Chen played with the bullet, then held it with his thumb and flicked it lightly like a marble. "The principle is that simple."

"Well, do you agree?"

"You mean....let me study this weapon with you?" Yodel asked.

"No, not only you, but also your brother." Luo Chen added.

"What about the treatment? No...I never asked you...Who are you? Where are you from?"

Yodel frowned at him, "Are you from some big company?"

"No, no, no." Luo Chen shook his head, "Don't insult me ​​with these names. The one standing in front of you now is..."

"Buzz buzz buzz--" His words were interrupted.

The entire office, no, the entire institute began to flash red lights.

The PA system seemed to have been hacked, and there was a buzzing sound coming from it. Then it quickly quieted down, and a man's voice came from it -

"You smart-ass coward, get out of here now! Don't make us come looking for you in person."

"Yes, I'm talking about you! The idiot who disguised himself as Count Ursus!"

"I'll give you ten minutes, otherwise we'll start the attack immediately..."

Chapter 154: My understanding of your strength...

"Bang!" Luo Chen stood up.

Yodel could see that the other person's face was expressionless and looked cold, but looking deeper, there was a kind of anger at being disturbed.

"Is there any shelter room in your institute?" Luo Chen asked.

"Uh... yes..." Yodel said anxiously, "That..."

"Take your people and hide inside. You can come out when I ask you to."
