Terra Martial God and Merit System

"Is it because of the environment?" Luo Chen thought, "Can a beautiful environment turn a sullen face into a smiling one?"

"This is too exaggerated... I feel like Kal'tsit is possessed by someone..."

Kelsey's speech was over. Next was Lin Yuxia's.

The other party seemed a little listless, but still had average conversation skills.

As an old employee under Luo Chen, Lin Yuxia has a lot of influence. As soon as she comes on the court, there are cheers from the audience.

After all, many business policies were formulated by Lin Yuxia herself when she visited the streets, and many people knew her.

After Lin Yuxia comes Lavinia.

As soon as she came on stage, she expressed a lot of thanks, among which the one with the most words and the deepest emotion was to thank Luo Chen.

According to her, if it weren't for Luo Chen's letter, her life might have been wasted for ten years.

Now that she is involved in the construction of Terra Union, she feels honored.

This gratitude touched the hearts of some of Kamsco's old residents.

New residents don't know, but old residents know that the key to Kamsco's development is Luo Chen.

They saw with their own eyes how this 'Count' who appeared from the sky changed the city.

Kill corrupt officials, maintain order, and transform slums...

If he did just one of these things, the residents would remember this "honest official" for the rest of their lives. Now Luo Chen had done all of them.

Although the other party has now retreated behind the scenes, his influence is still great.

Lavinia's speech put many people at ease.

Because Luo Chen had not appeared in public for a long time, and even his position was very low when government affairs were announced, many old residents were wondering about his situation.

There are even a lot of weird rumors.

For example, Luo Chen was kidnapped by Tallulah, thrown into a dark room, and assassinated by Ursus' assassins... and so on.

Now Lavinia's speech proves that she is still loyal to Luo Chen, which shows that there is no coup in the Terra Union. Luo Chen is in good condition.

But Luo Chen felt very bad.

What is Lavinia doing? She wants to keep a low profile. Why is she so affectionately thanking me for my "kindness"?

What kind of favor did he have? He just used him as a tool. How could this be considered a favor?

and....

Why are Lavinia's eyes red?

Looking at the audience, many people started crying.

Tallulah, why are you rubbing your nose?

And Lin Yuxia, what is she doing wiping with a handkerchief?

Luo Chen was glad that he did not go there to watch the ceremony, otherwise, in this situation, Lin Yuxia would not have used a handkerchief to wipe it, but her own clothes.

It's not like she hasn't done this before.

Luo Chen felt that he should remind Tallulah...it's better to do less of this kind of thing.

He doesn't mind others worshipping him, but he doesn't want to be a slave to power, a so-called "local tyrant" who controls everything.

He, Luo Chen is just a passer-by in this world.

Tallulah will grow up, Lin Yuxia will grow up, Lavinia will grow up...

They will all change, become better, more perfect.

I just accelerated the process a little bit.

Luo Chen believed that after he left, they would be able to continue on this path alone, even without him.

In that case - why should I be grateful to myself?

Furthermore...Luo Chen has only one goal, which is to go to the world of advanced martial arts.

This group of people are promoting their own deeds. Isn't this a disguised way of reducing their own merits?

The speech on the stage continued, but what followed was a bit dull.

After everything is finished, it is time to award honors.

Tallulah gave each of the honored people a medal in turn, representing their great contributions to the development of Terra United.

The flash lights flashed at a very high frequency, capturing the images of everyone.

For Propaganda Minister Andre, these are valuable resources.

It is the "bullet" that can be fired at the enemy in the future.

..........

Kal'tsit was a little dizzy from the flash, but she still maintained her composure. She was only slightly moved when Tallulah awarded her the medal.

"This little girl's race is very special..."

"Huh... Is this another conspiracy of some ambitious person?"

"Not only that, according to my investigation, some of Kamsco's senior officials are not as simple as they seem."

"Where did Luo Chen find these beings from..."

"And he can make them willingly work for him..."

After the award ceremony, there is a parade.

Tour the main streets of Kamesco on a platform built on the back of a truck and be surrounded by flowers.

Kal'tsit almost forgot the last time she had been exposed to so many flowers. When she was hit by the flowers, she couldn't help but feel her silent heart trembling slightly.

After the parade, the commendation meeting should have ended.

However, the vehicle carrying them did not leave as planned, but turned and drove to another place.

Then a team of people took them to a room.

Just when everyone was confused, the door of the room was pushed open and Luo Chen strode in.

"Hello, everyone." He smiled.

"City Lord!!!"

"My Lord Earl!!!"

There are endless calls.

These award recipients did not expect Luo Chen to appear here.

When they learned that Tallulah was going to award them the medals, many people were a little disappointed. Compared to Tallulah, they hoped that Luo Chen would award them the medals.

Now that Luo Chen appears in front of them, how can they be unhappy?

"You asked Tallulah to change the plan temporarily...why?" Lin Yuxia couldn't help asking.

"I just came to see you. Can't I meet these young talents?" Luo Chen asked back.

Then he turned around and started speaking in his long-lost smooth voice.

Luo Chen suddenly transformed himself into an amiable old leader and began to get close to the people around him.

Many people were flattered and very excited about Luo Chen's concern.

Luo Chen patted their shoulders, shook hands and expressed his condolences. He took this opportunity to inject vitality into them one by one.

These people are all our high-level tools. It would be bad if they got sick.

Luo Chen’s merits...all depend on them.

"He is Luo Chen? The one who wrote to me?" Kal'tsit thought as she looked at Luo Chen.

"Why is the other party like this?"

Kal'tsit was very familiar with Luo Chen's behavior.

That was the look that an old noble who had been in officialdom for a long time used when he was trying to win people's hearts.

She's seen... a little too much.

Luo Chen's attitude made Kal'tsit feel like vomiting.

She had seen too many ambitious people and superiors. She had already...tasted enough.

Compared to the enlightenment that Kamsco brought to her, the appearance of Luo Chen brought another extreme.

Kal'tsit even began to doubt - how could this old man who talked nonsense bring so many miracles?

"Oh, isn't this Doctor Katie?"

While she was thinking, Luo Chen's "consolation" finally reached Kal'tsit.

"I have long heard of your great name. I have seen your contributions to..."

Kal'tsit was a little disappointed and was about to make an excuse, but when she looked up, she gave up the idea.

Luo Chen was looking at her.

The two looked at each other.

Sometimes eyes can speak and express some meaning.

Luo Chen's eyes seemed to convey something. According to what Kal'tsit read...

"haven't seen you for a long time"

It's the look you get when you see an old friend.

But....why?

Is he going to look at me like this?

Does this have anything to do with the other party's threats and knowing my real code name?

Or...

Kal'tsit held Luo Chen's hand.

She recalled the conclusions she had drawn from her investigation...

When she came to this conclusion, she was still a little skeptical. But now that she saw Luo Chen with her own eyes, she found that -

Just like this ordinary-feeling palm, Luo Chen's appearance is 'ordinary'.

There are no conspicuous ears or tail, no horns or halos, or vertical pupils that would attract attention.

He is like...an ordinary, unremarkable...'human'?

Kelsey suddenly realized something.

The other party...is he really just a human?

but why?

There shouldn't be another human being here... or there shouldn't be another conscious human being in the entire world...

"Work hard!" Luo Chen patted Kal'tsit.

He didn't give the other person vitality, and it would be useless to give it to such an old woman, so he should leave it to someone who needs it more.

Luo Chen consoled them, and many of them burst into tears of gratitude. Many even knelt down and hugged Luo Chen's thighs and cried loudly. Luo Chen finally let them leave, and in the end only himself and Kal'tsit were left.

"What a hassle..." Luo Chen straightened his clothes, sat down and looked at Kal'tsit who was still thinking.

"You mean it--Katie....No. Ms. Kelsey?"

"Ah..." Kal'tsit came to her senses from her own speculation. Seeing that there was no one else around, she was too lazy to maintain her previous image.

"It seems my disguise didn't work."

"Your face looks so familiar." Luo Chen commented, "No matter what hairstyle or color you change, I can recognize it at a glance."

"You know me well?"

"In a sense... yes." Luo Chen nodded slightly, "Very familiar."

"Are you...from that civilization?" Kal'tsit asked after a moment's hesitation.
