Chapter 42 Developments
After observing the evil spirit, Shen Liang took Wang Xiaoming and the others back to the ground and came to Zhao Jianguo's office.
"Professor, you guys take a rest here first, I'll call Captain Zhao over." Shen Liang said and left.
Wang Xiaoming didn't wait long, the door of the office opened again, and Zhao Jianguo appeared at the door.
"Professor Wang, I'm sorry, I'm too busy today, I'm really not entertaining you well." Zhao Jianguo apologized when he entered the door.
Wang Xiaoming shook his head and said, "It's nothing, dealing with supernatural events is the most important thing."
After chatting for a few words, the two began to get to the point.
"Professor, this time I asked you to come here for the extraction of ghost fire supernatural materials. After all, you are an expert in this field, and you are the first person to discover and use ghost fire supernatural." After Zhao Jianguo finished speaking, he looked at Li Jun on the side.
"Li Jun, you are also a great contributor to the invention of the supernatural gunpowder. Without your contribution of your blood, there would be no supernatural gunpowder."
After listening to Zhao Jianguo's praise, Li Jun's cheeks turned slightly red. After a while, he only said one sentence: "These are all the professor's credit."
"Haha!" Zhao Jianguo laughed at Li Jun's answer: "Everyone knows the professor's credit, and your credit will not be forgotten."
"You will be promoted soon!"
Hearing that he was going to be promoted again, Li Jun was stunned for a moment.
After he became a ghost rider who controlled two evil spirits, he was promoted once. Now he is going to be promoted again, so he will become...
As the captain of the headquarters, Zhao Jianguo has a wide network of contacts and a lot of information. Li Jun's matter has been decided, and the final appointment will be in these few days. It is not against the rules to tell him now.
"Professor, our headquarters' idea is that you move here directly and preside over the extraction of ghost fire and the research and development of supernatural gunpowder at the headquarters."
Zhao Jianguo looked at Wang Xiaoming who was in deep thought and said tentatively.
Given Wang Xiaoming's current position, the headquarters would not force him to do anything, but would only cooperate and discuss.
"No problem," Wang Xiaoming nodded and agreed. He had thought so originally, and now that the headquarters had proposed it, he naturally did not intend to refuse.
"And those experimenters who worked with me on the supernatural gunpowder, I also need to bring them here."
In the face of Wang Xiaoming's request, Zhao Jianguo said that it was not a problem, and took the initiative to take on the task of relocation.
For a while, both the host and the guest were happy.
Zhao Jianguo took out a bag of tea from the drawer of his desk, came to the coffee table and said, "This is the good tea I got from the minister, you try it."
As he said that, he had already started to boil water and make tea skillfully, and soon he poured a cup of tea for each of them.
The tea soup was clear and exuded a fragrance. Although Wang Xiaoming did not understand tea, he could see that this tea was not ordinary.
Li Jun picked up the teacup curiously, and regardless of the fact that it was just brewed hot tea, he drank it directly, and then smacked his lips, savoring the taste just now.
OK!
Met a master who chewed peony like a cow.
The corners of Zhao Jianguo's mouth twitched, and he complained in his heart.
He could only pour another cup of tea for Li Jun. Seeing that he was about to take a sip, he quickly persuaded him:
"Tea is not drunk like this. You have to drink it slowly and taste it carefully."
Li Jun smiled and put down the teacup and said, "I can't learn what you said."
Wang Xiaoming smiled when he saw this. He just picked up the teacup and sniffed it lightly, but didn't drink it.
He didn't have Li Jun's iron mouth and steel stomach. Although he reached the limit of the human body, he was still within the range of humans and would be scalded by hot water.
As a ghost driver who controls two evil ghosts, Li Jun's body has long been different from that of ordinary people, and his pain perception is also weakened a lot. A mere 100-degree boiling water is just a splash for him.
Several people took the opportunity to drink tea and chatted.
"Professor Wang, what do you think of the current trend of supernatural outbreaks?" Zhao Jianguo said casually.
At present, governments around the world have confirmed that the frequency of supernatural events is increasing. According to experts, in two years, the whole world will be in a state of hell and evil spirits will run rampant.
Many people who know the truth are pessimistic about the future.
Although governments can still maintain the stability of the real world, the upper class has split into two factions.
They are the despair faction and the hope faction. The despair faction believes that the end of the world will come as scheduled, and humans cannot fight against evil spirits. Becoming a ghost rider is just a way to survive.
The hope faction is a firm optimist. Humans are indeed unable to fight against evil spirits, but humans have their own courage and praise songs. As long as they work hard, there must be hope for the future of mankind.
Li Jun sat aside and looked at Wang Xiaoming. He was also very interested in this question. As a ghost rider, he understood the horror of evil spirits better.
Under the gaze of the two, Wang Xiaoming slowly raised his head and looked into their eyes, saying seriously:
"The appearance of evil spirits is a disaster and an opportunity. Temporary failure is nothing. The result will be known only when we reach the end. The ancients could persevere, so why can't we? I am full of confidence in the future of mankind. I believe that evil spirits will no longer be a disaster by then."
Wang Xiaoming's words resounded in Zhao Jianguo's mind like morning bells and evening drums. He could feel the faith of Wang Xiaoming when he spoke, which was a faith to move forward courageously.
Zhao Jianguo, who was originally exhausted by the outbreak of many supernatural events in the south, felt inexplicably excited.
Li Jun was slightly excited. He believed in Wang Xiaoming and looked forward to the future that Wang Xiaoming talked about.
"Well said, cheers for the future of mankind." Zhao Jianguo raised the teacup in his hand and drank it all, like a heroic general.
Wang Xiaoming and Li Jun smiled at each other, raised their teacups and drank.
"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. During this period, the headquarters has lost a lot of ghost riders, and some ghost riders are on the verge of revival. I'm under a lot of pressure!"
"Now that I've listened to the professor's words, I'm full of energy."
"Wine doesn't make people drunk, but people get drunk by themselves. Zhao Jianguo got drunk after just drinking a cup of tea.
Dajing City,
Office on the top floor of Ping An Building.
President Fei sat at his desk and looked at the latest intelligence in his hand, his brows stretched and his mouth was smiling, but for some reason, when he saw the last thing, President Fei frowned, as if he had encountered difficulties.
The intelligence in front of him was that the military organized a large number of ghost riders to attack the strange volcano, resulting in the sacrifice of many city leaders in the south, and the relationship between many leaders who participated in the action and the government fell to a freezing point.
This is good news for the circle of friends. The city leaders are dissatisfied with the headquarters, which just gives the circle of friends an opportunity to take advantage of it. Win over the leaders, open a ghost rider club, and let the influence of the circle of friends spread to the south.
However, the intelligence highly praised a supernatural item, that is, the ghost-exorcising bell invented by Wang Xiaoming.
Not only can it be used at no cost to resist the attack of evil spirits, but it can also rebound the attack of evil spirits when the bell is broken, providing a chance for the ghost rider to escape. It is simply a magical tool to fight against supernatural events.
Unfortunately, this magical tool is not in the circle of friends, but in the headquarters. With a magical tool like the ghost-exorcising bell, it is much more difficult for the circle of friends to win over these responsible persons.
President Fei knows these ghost riders very well. On the surface, they are turning against the headquarters, but in fact they are raising the price. They just want to get more benefits from the headquarters.
The headquarters can take out the ghost-exorcising bell. If the circle of friends does not take out the corresponding supernatural items, it is estimated that it will be difficult to win over these ghost riders.
"It's really abominable. This is obviously a good opportunity to expand the influence of the circle of friends. We can't just give it up." As an excellent businessman, President Fei is not going to give up the opportunity in front of him.
"Come on, ask Wu Yue to come to my office." President Fei called the secretary and ordered.
