Terra Martial God and Merit System

But no matter how she asked, the people who answered her were either vague or started speaking in riddles.

Especially the manager of this research institute, a woman named Kal'tsit, who was asked questions continuously as if she was being interrogated on her first day.

And she only allowed the other party to ask questions. When she asked questions herself, Kal'tsit started talking nonsense and it was completely unclear what she was talking about.

Fortunately, I had experienced a lot of office politics in Columbia, so at least I didn't let the other party take the lead.

Even so, Luo Chen's disappearance was like a dark cloud hanging over Dorothy's mind.

So...now the other party finally shows up!

"Okay, okay." Luo Chen comforted, "Why did you come here suddenly? Where are your family members?"

He had not forgotten Dorothy's identity as a pioneer.

If word spread that she had 'defected' from Columbia to Terra United, her family would be severely punished.

"I didn't pick them up." Dorothy rubbed her eyes. "I deliberately designed a laboratory accident..."

"The active Originium suddenly exploded, directly enveloping all of us. According to my calculations, the concentration of those active Originium is enough to turn a normal person into an Originium in an instant."

“It took a while...but I still managed to complete the project.”

“I handed over some of my unpublished research results to another young student who is still in Columbia.”

"Although my plan had some doubts, a young researcher suddenly emerged, and his expertise was in a field that I was familiar with. The original Rhine Life soon stopped investigating me."

"After all, compared to the young researchers who are like a blank slate, people like me are seen as dishonest 'dangerous elements' by them."

At this point, Dorothy sneered, "I originally died due to an 'experimental accident'. I should have received a large amount of allowances and insurance."

"The money was supposed to go to my family. But I checked later and found out that since I was a pioneer, all the money was embezzled and not a cent was left."

"And my parents don't know that I'm 'dead' in public. Their reason is that I'm involved in a confidential research project and can't disclose relevant information at will."

Dorothy calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Scientists in Colombia are essentially no different from pioneers.”

“Once it’s been crushed by capital and its value has been squeezed out, it’s just kicked away, like a dead dog on the side of the road.”

Luo Chen listened to her indignation quietly, and said in a deep voice - "Thank you for your hard work."

"Yeah." Dorothy forced a smile. "It's much better here... I thought the Terra Federation would treat us as outsiders. After all, when I invited those scientists here, I promised them a lot of things."

"Now it seems...Terra United is just like you, and both keep their words."

"I heard that you made a lot of contributions to the production of the anti-originite generator?"

"Not much. I just did the best I could." Dorothy's eyes sparkled. "Whoever came up with this machine must have been a genius."

"With this, we can completely eliminate the existence of mineral sickness... How many people can this save..."

"Oh?" Luo Chen looked at Dorothy with interest. He was sure that Kal'tsit probably had some reservations about her.

"Luo Chen, you're back?" Another figure appeared in front of the two of them.

It was none other than Kal'tsit.

"Director Dorothy." She glanced at Dorothy, who was very close to Luo Chen, "Please be careful about your words and actions in the laboratory."

Chapter 380: Shaman Dance and Future Impact

The old Cat had a stiff face and spoke without any emotion, which made Dorothy very uncomfortable.

She glared at Kal'tsit, which was a kind of resistance, and then snorted coldly.

"What is the current research progress of the Anti-Origin Stone Generator?" Luo Chen didn't care about the open and secret struggles between the two. Instead, he asked directly.

To be honest, Kal'tsit's stinky face really needs to be cleaned up.

As soon as Luo Chen said this, Kal'tsit's arrogance, indifference, and the kitten-like face all disappeared.

Where did the inspiration for the anti-originium generator come from? Kal'tsit kept this thing completely secret in this research institute.

In other words, no one knows who invented this machine first.

"We are stuck on the large-scale expansion." Kal'tsit replied, "Now no matter what we do, there is no way to expand the scope further..."

"?" Dorothy blinked in confusion.

She has been with Kal'tsit for some time, and in her eyes, Kal'tsit is an arrogant guy.

But even Dorothy had to admit that this guy was indeed arrogant and conceited.

When it comes to research on Originium, even though he has been in Columbia's top research institute for so long, he is sometimes still amazed by Kal'tsit's ideas and thoughts.

Now... Kal'tsit's tone doesn't sound like she's reporting... but rather like... asking for instructions?

This tone of voice was so rare! At least since she entered this institute, Dorothy had never heard Kelsey say it.

This is interesting...

Because according to Dorothy's understanding, Luo Chen is considered a founding father of the Terra Union, with great power and prestige.

But as far as she knew...power and prestige could not make Kal'tsit bow her head.

So....what is the reason?

"You can hold a meeting now." Luo Chen said, "Call all senior researchers——"

"Wait a minute." Kal'tsit interrupted him, reached out and grabbed Luo Chen's hand, then turned around and wanted to drag him into the corner, "I have..."

“Oh…ah…”

No matter how hard she tried, Luo Chen didn't move at all.

"What's wrong with you?" Luo Chen looked at her, "Why did you suddenly pull me?"

"I have something I want to say in private." Kal'tsit glanced at Luo Chen, with a different emotion flashing in her eyes.

The meaning of that look was clear - 'Please!'

"Fine...."

"I'm the director. If it's about technology--" Dorothy began to speak but was interrupted by Kelsey.

"Stay where you are, Director Dorothy, that's an order!"

Kal'tsit pulled Luo Chen all the way to her office, then pushed the door open and locked it.

"What are you doing?" Luo Chen asked.

"I didn't tell other researchers where the inspiration for the anti-Originium generator came from." Kal'tsit said.

"I see." Luo Chen said, "So what?"

"If you call them to a meeting and then use your ability... this will not be a good thing." Kal'tsit said seriously.

"Are you afraid that once they know the truth, they will start to belittle you? Realize that you, Kal'tsit, are a bumbling clown?"

"no!"

"Why aren't you blushing?"

"Blushing is caused by excessive emotions... I have been a doctor for a long time, you have to believe me..."

"Your medical skills are not good enough. I once asked you why your back hurt when you woke up, and you said it was because you slept for too long. But I slept for so long in Saint Steed Castle and my back didn't hurt. Doesn't this prove that you are a quack?"

Kal'tsit's expression paused, her face turned even redder, and her eyes glanced around involuntarily.

"People's physical constitutions cannot be generalized, and I don't know what your physical constitution is like... The diagnosis at that time was just an inference based on the existing data." She said quickly.

"Pa!" Luo Chen pressed his hands on Kal'tsit's shoulders.

Kal'tsit was so frightened that her body shuddered and the hair on her tail stood up.

"You don't have to worry about what they think." Luo Chen looked at Kal'tsit and said, "You know my ability... Although it was written by me, the inspiration came from you, Kal'tsit."

"The Anti-Originium Generator was your idea. There is no doubt about that."

"......" Kal'tsit was stunned. She looked into Luo Chen's eyes and a word slipped out of her mouth - "Thank you."

"Okay, let's go to the meeting." Luo Chen let go.

"Wait." Kal'tsit stopped Luo Chen, "I'm not canceling the meeting because of this kind of thing."

"Think about it carefully, what would you do if you had a meeting?" Kal'tsit asked.

"Listen to your ideas, then select the most likely result and instruct you to do it?" Luo Chen said after thinking for a while.

"No." Kal'tsit shook her head.

“It is said that science is 80% luck and 20% hard work. But most of the researchers in our institute are full of confidence in the future.”

"Just imagine, a weird guy suddenly appeared and quickly named the right choice that would take you several years to choose. What would you think?"

"Disappointed? Incomprehensible? Desperate? Waiting for pie to fall from the sky every day?"

"Your ability is as unscientific as shamanism. If you use it in a meeting, it will greatly dampen everyone's enthusiasm."

"But the anti-originite generator..."

"You still don't understand?" Kal'tsit sighed, "The right choice can appear at any time - accidental experiment, a dream one day, a sudden inspiration."

"But it's definitely not something that can be written out of thin air. Although that's right, it's not good for the future - do you understand?"

"I almost understand." Luo Chen nodded, "You mean, my ability can be used. But I can't let too many people know about it?"

"That's right!" Kelsey nodded, "The fewer people who know about this, the better."

"If too many people know about it...then the sudden change will cause many people to become more emotional and even fall into despair."

"I understand." Luo Chen understood. "Okay, then continue the meeting. I will only be responsible for listening and then hand over my ideas to you. Is this okay?"

"That's it." Kal'tsit breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally you listened to my advice for once."

"As long as you don't speak in riddles, I'm happy to listen to you." Luo Chen tried to push the door open, but ended up frowning. "Why is your door lock so weird?"

"Let me do it..." Kal'tsit operated quickly.

She entered an extremely complex password and then used iris encryption to open the door.

"You make it look like there are some rare items in your room." Luo Chen complained as he walked out.

The speaker may not have meant it, but the listener may have taken it to heart. Behind him, Kal'tsit, whose blush had faded a little, now blushed slightly again.

"Luo Chen? Luo Chen!" Dorothy had been wandering in the corridor. When she saw Luo Chen appear, she immediately waved and walked over.

But when I got closer, I saw Kal'tsit, who had just come out of the office, was a little confused.

The blush on Kal'tsit's face has not faded yet, and her eyes are darting around, looking like a guilty thief.

This expression...Dorothy had never seen this expression on Kelsey's face before - no, she had only seen one expression on Kelsey's face before.

It's that kind of kitten face.

What exactly happened between her and Luo Chen in the office?

"Dorothy, what are you standing there for?" Luo Chen patted her, "Call the researchers for a meeting."

"Oh...ah." Dorothy nodded and left, looking at her watch as she left.

"The time is wrong..."

Chapter 381: What Have You Lived For Tens of Thousands of Years?

The meeting went smoothly.

Under Kal'tsit's organization, many researchers spoke freely and put forward various speculations on the current problems.

Luo Chen glanced around and saw that everyone's expressions were relaxed, without any pretense or falseness.

This shows that Kal'tsit really implemented the instructions of his superiors seriously - in the field of scientific research, there is no absolute authority. Everyone has the opportunity to speak.

Of course, Kal'tsit's arrogance was still obvious. Although she had restrained herself a little due to Luo Chen's appearance, she would always mercilessly expose the flaws in other researchers' conjectures.

It was very direct and there was no euphemism at all.

Fortunately, she is the director of the institute. If she were an ordinary researcher, she would probably be severely ostracized.

This is also Kal'tsit's style of doing things. Unless Luo Chen follows her around and disciplines her every day, she can't change it.

The speech went around in circles and came to Kal'tsit.
