92 Hao Meng Returns

Cai Peiyun was worried that Ning Shi was young and ignorant, so he could only make things clear.

“Principal Ning, your school is a strength-type specialized school, and all the students are strength-type awakeners.”

“The earlier the competition started, the greater the advantage of strength-type awakeners, and the better the results your students could get.”

“The results of the students in the competition this time will affect the principal’s evaluation.”

Cai Peiyun was right. When students had just awakened, they were not familiar with the elemental and spiritual-type abilities, and it was easy for them to be defeated by strength-type awakeners with good physical fitness.

However, as time went on, the other types of awakeners who could use spiritual crystals to practice would gradually become familiar with and master their abilities, and the advantage of strength-type awakeners would become smaller and smaller.

Until they become disadvantaged.

Cai Peiyun said it so straightforwardly, obviously he was really thinking for Ning Shi. He thought that Ning Shi should express his opinion on the date of the competition and try to bring the time forward.

This was a normal request.

Ning Shi was confident in his students. With the extreme body forging method combined with the stamina potion, the cultivation effect was enough to shock everyone.

The later the competition, the stronger the students were, and the more exciting the competition would be. The powerful combat ability of the strength-type awakeners would leave a deeper impression.

Otherwise, if the competition was brought forward, both sides would be rookies. Even if the strength-type students won, it would not be a big deal.

To change the weak outlook of the strength-type awakeners, he would start with this competition.

“It’s fine, Principal Cai. It’s good like this. Thank you for your reminder! Shall we sit at the same table for the banquet later?”

“I can’t ask for more. Principal Ning is so fair. You don’t care about personal gains and losses. I’m impressed!”

Seeing that Cai Peiyun had misunderstood, Ning Shi did not explain much.

At seven o ‘clock in the evening, led by the Exchange Bureau, all the principals attending the meeting held an exchange dinner in the elegant hall of the hotel.

At the banquet, Ning Shi, Cai Peiyun, and Wu Qihua were arranged to sit at the main table.

Minister Hu Changjun and the director of the Exchange Bureau, Tian Jun, personally accompanied them.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively.

Minister Hu had a military background and was very intense when it came to drinking. With the higher-up taking the lead, everyone at the main table drank a lot.

As they drank, Ning Shi also asked Wu Qihua about many details of the transformation-type awakeners.

Wu Qihua was in high spirits and answered Ning Shi’s questions one by one.

Just before the event was over, Wu Qihua and Cai Peiyun finally revealed their fox tails.

“Principal Ning, I heard that your school has developed a drug that can restore physical strength and strengthen one’s physique after consumption. I wonder if it’s convenient for you to sell it?”

Only then did Ning Shi feel at ease. He had been puzzled before. Wu Qihua and Cai Peiyun could be said to be the top big shots among the principals, and the school they managed was also the best mixed school among the awakener schools.

Yet, with their high status, they were overly caring towards a young man like him. They even patiently explained some professional knowledge to him.

So it was for the stamina potion.

With the power of the two big shots, the stamina potion was definitely not for themselves. Everything they did was for the students.

The two principals’ schools were mixed schools, so there must be strength-type students. Furthermore, non-strength-type students could also take the stamina potion. Any awakener would not refuse to enhance their physical fitness.

Ning Shi smiled. “To be honest, the stamina potion doesn’t belong to the school. It was invented by a teacher in the school. The patent, production, and sales of the potion are all managed by that teacher.”

“The potions must be given priority to the students of our school. I’ll ask that teacher’s opinion and see if we can sell it if we have enough production.”

“It shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Since Hao Meng wasn’t here, Ning Shi planned to ask Mo Yu. He really didn’t pay attention to the production and cost of the stamina potion.

After receiving Ning Shi’s reply, the two principals felt relieved that they had completed their task. They drank even more fiercely.

The table was filled with powerful extraordinary people, and they really drank alcohol as if it was water.

Ning Shi couldn’t remember how much he had drunk. As the youngest principal, he was the focus of the main table and drank the most.

Even with Ning Shi’s powerful physique, he still felt a little tipsy in the end.

Back at the hotel, Ning Shi didn’t study his transformation ability anymore. Taking advantage of his tipsy state, he unloaded all kinds of burdens and thoughts. He relaxed and fell asleep.

Bei Shi Nation, underground research lab.

Hao Meng stared at the waving feelers of the bugs in front of her, constantly sensing them with her spiritual power.

The bugs crawled back and forth, shaking their bodies from time to time and shrieking.

“Human, woman, ugly, can’t be bitten, scary.”

“Hunger, weakness, restlessness.”

This was the bugs’ language and emotions that Hao Meng had perceived and analyzed.

She found that the bugs communicated with their feelers or body movements, combined with spiritual fluctuations and some calls. It was a relatively complicated system.

There was no fear in the emotions of these insects. They fought as a group, so they were not afraid of individual sacrifice.

After killing the bugs in front of her, Hao Meng actually began to pack up and organize her research tools.

Mo Yun looked at Hao Meng’s actions in surprise.

“Director, are you packing up your equipment to leave?”

After staying in this dark place for four days, Mo Yun felt that her body was going to grow mold.

Hao Meng nodded and said, “Plans can’t keep up with changes. The bugs we caught are all from the bottom of the insect world. Their intelligence level is not high. I have analyzed some of the language, but I still can’t figure out the purpose of the swarm invading our world.”

“The insect swarm didn’t blindly attack any countries outside the Bei Shi Nation. They only sent out a small number of insects and flew around, as if they were trying to find out some information.”

“The secret behind it is difficult to find out for the time being.”

“Right now, the Fei Li Island is being attacked by the insects, and that place is closer to our country. I plan to return to my country first, and then do some research before heading back to the Fei Li Island to catch the insects.”

Hearing this, Mo Yun was so happy that she almost jumped.

“Director, I’ll help you pack the experimental equipment. Don’t worry, I’m very professional.”

Mo Yun and Hao Meng packed up all the equipment and put them into Mo Yun’s dimensional space.

After everything was packed, Mo Yun suddenly said indignantly, “Director, are you going to share your research results with the research institute when you return to Yunmeng Kingdom this time? The officials are too unkind. They didn’t even tell us that there was such a thing as the perfect awakening potion.”

“We have contributed the production method of the awakening potion to the country, and this is the treatment we get in return?”

Hao Meng’s eyes narrowed as she asked, “Perfect awakening potion?” What is the effect? Where did you get the information from?”

“The perfect awakening potion is a superior product randomly produced during the production process of ordinary awakening potions. After consumption, there is a 100% chance of becoming an awakener.”

“Mo Yu learned this news from Ning Shi and Yun Moxiang’s conversation.”

Hao Meng’s expression turned extremely cold when Mo Yun finished speaking.

The air around them suddenly became extremely thick.

Mo Yun felt as if she had fallen into the deep sea. It felt as if endless seawater and powerful water pressure pressed down on her from all directions.

She said with great difficulty, “No… Mo Yu did not monitor… Ning Shi.”

With that, the viscous air disappeared, and the pressure receded like a tide.

Mo Yun took a few deep breaths and explained with a pale face.

“The consumption of stamina potions is relatively fast. Mo Yu was going to find Ning Shi to discuss increasing the production that night, and happened to overhear their conversation, so she heard the content.”

“She definitely didn’t monitor Ning Shi’s actions.”

Hao Meng’s cold expression returned and she said to Mo Yun, “Tell Mo Yu to avoid Ning Shi’s conversation next time. She must not eavesdrop.”

Mo Yun once again felt Ning Shi’s special place in Hao Meng’s heart and quickly nodded.

“The perfect awakening potion was an accident,” Hao Meng continued, “and the officials have no obligation to tell us.

“I’ve contributed the awakening potion to the government and received two S-rank spiritual crystals as a reward, as well as a 2% commission from selling it abroad.”

“The deal has been made, and the subsequent matters have nothing to do with me.”

“Don’t forget where we came from. It’s normal for the government to be on guard against us. Trust takes time to build.”

“When I go back this time, I’ll apply to Ning Shi to set up a new research room in the school and contribute the results of the stamina potion and insect language to the school’s research laboratory.”

“Everything will be under Ning Shi’s control.”

“Perhaps both sides will be more at ease if we cooperate with the government in the name of Ning Shi.”

Mo Yun nodded and said to Hao Meng, “Director, Wu Yingxiong has sent news that the new world boundary discovered by the MieIn Federation is forming at a very fast speed, much faster than the insect world’s world boundary.”

“According to the internal staff’s estimation, the boundary would be fully formed in one to two months and people would be able to pass through it without any obstacles.”

“At that time, the MieIn Federation would send a diplomatic vanguard team to explore the new world.”

“The MieIn Federation had reached an agreement on the exploration policy of the new world. Generally, they adopted the strategy of courtesy before violence and established a diplomatic policy of ‘cultural recognition and win-win cooperation’.”

“In order to prevent the emergence of extreme situations in the new world and the intervention of other countries in our world, the MieIn Federation had already deployed two ace military divisions at the bondary.”

“It was said that the nuclear missiles were already in place.”

“Wu Yingxiong is asking you if we should get involved in this matter.”

Upon hearing this news, Hao Meng didn’t hesitate.

“Allocate resources to Wu Yingxiong. We have to intervene. Tell him that the bottom line is to be able to obtain first-hand information about the new world at any time. The goal is for our people to be able to enter and explore the new world.”

“This time, the study of the insect’s language has given me a new perspective on the three disasters: the insect disaster, the beast disaster, and the spiritual disaster. If I’m not wrong, the exploration of a new world is the beginning of everything. It’s extremely important!”

Mo Yun accepted the order and relayed it to Wu Yingxiong.

The MieIn Federation’s national situation was different from Yunmeng Kingdom. In essence, the MieIn Federation was the product of the joint efforts of large capital and financial groups.

As long as they were willing to spend money, it should not be a problem to arrange for a few people to become members of the diplomatic vanguard team.

Hao Meng had been so focused on her research that she didn’t even have time to deal with the affairs of the Heretic Research Institute.

Mo Yun then reported to Hao Meng what had happened in the past few days, picking out the main points.

Hao Meng made all the arrangements and instructions.

Then, Mo Yun opened a spatial door and walked in with Hao Meng.

After passing through several spatial gateways, they reappeared.

Hao Meng was already standing in the teacher’s dormitory of Donglin City’s First Strength Awakener School.
