Hiss…
Wang Yunlong and his companions drew a sharp breath.
They had assumed that the cooperation between China and Mr. Ji would be similar to that with Guo Yuanming.
Mr. Ji would provide methods for nurturing Biotics Men, and the nation would offer him benefits in return.
They never expected Mr. Ji to demand such immense power.
Moreover, Old Hua had actually nodded in agreement.
If this had been in the past,
Wang Yunlong and the others couldn't even fathom someone having the credentials to be granted such power by China and to collaborate with them.
But this Mr. Ji… he truly did have the credentials!
Just the skill he had shown was enough to make any major country scramble to cooperate and curry favor with him.
After all, it wasn't just China struggling with how to cultivate Biotics Men.
In that moment, Wang Yunlong's gaze towards Chu Yi was filled with a newfound respect.
From today on, this man's status was no longer what it used to be.
Previously, no matter how strong he was, he operated in the gray areas, unclear whether friend or foe.
But now, he had become a top-tier official leader, and his power was personally bestowed by Old Hua.
As for Chu Yi, he didn't care about the power at all.
His request was solely to better farm rewards.
With the authority to oversee the education of Biotics Men nationwide,
he could ensure that every student in the country would yield at least one reward.
He could even freely select disciples who met his criteria from students across the nation!
Perfect!
"Mr. Ji, do you have any specific plans for cultivating Biotics Men… or rather, martial artists?" Old Hua inquired.
Chu Yi pondered for a moment before replying, "I haven't got anything concrete yet. I'll plan it out when I return and contact you another day."
He wanted to farm rewards from every student in the nation.
Did that mean he needed to personally teach every student in the country?
Wouldn't that workload be enormous?
Chu Yi had just asked the system if there was a shortcut.
There was… but it required some preparation.
"Another day?" Old Hua's expression showed difficulty.
Establishing a Biotics Men education system was an urgent matter…
What worried Old Hua the most was that once Mr. Ji left, they would be unable to contact him proactively as before.
How long exactly would this "another day" be?
After a moment of consideration, Old Hua tentatively said, "Mr. Ji, since we've already reached a cooperation, there's no need for you to hide anymore, right? We can be completely open with each other."
"Indeed, that's true," Chu Yi nodded.
Old Hua's face brightened, not expecting such a straightforward agreement.
Wang Yunlong and the others also lit up with anticipation.
Chu Yi was about to reveal his true identity but suddenly thought of something. Looking at Wang Yunlong and the others, he couldn't resist teasing them:
"Speaking of which, you guys have been investigating me for over a week and found nothing? Your professional skills are worrisome."
Wang Yunlong and the others wore embarrassed expressions, feeling awkward.
"Mr. Ji, you're putting us in a tough spot," said Qiu Dream with a wry smile. "The last time we saw you, we all thought you were a Biotics Man, and you didn't refute it, so we investigated you in that direction."
"Who would have known you were some martial arts expert from hundreds of years ago…"
Wang Yunlong and the others felt a bit wronged.
They couldn't help but think that Mr. Ji might have deliberately misled them for his amusement.
"Oh?" Chu Yi teased, "So where did your investigation lead?"
Qiu Dream paused, then honestly said:
"We thought you might be a Biotics Man who awakened at North Hill High School, so we focused on investigating the teachers and students there. We even suspected a Biotics Man teacher and are still monitoring him."
"Sorry for the embarrassment, Mr. Ji…"
Thinking about this, Qiu Dream felt extremely awkward.
How could she have suspected that Chu Yi was the Evergreen Sword Saint?
That PE teacher who was always nonchalant with his students, how could he be related to the Evergreen Sword Saint?
At this moment, Qin Changshu looked at her and scoffed, "I've been saying from the start that Chu Yi couldn't possibly be Mr. Ji."
"That guy, as a teacher, would take dozens of students to watch movies in hotels late at night, showing no professionalism, being frivolous and improper. How could he resemble a strong figure?
"And you insisted on having so many B-level Biotics Men monitor him, isn't that a waste of resources?"
Qiu Dream's face flushed as she glared at him, "How was I supposed to know? At that time, Chu Yi was the most suspicious!"
Wang Yunlong and Wang Jiang could only offer a helpless, bitter smile.
Indeed, it wasn't Qiu Dream's fault.
At that time, Chu Yi did seem extremely suspicious.
But now, it was clear they had misunderstood.
Not to mention anything else.
The ages didn't even match!
"Improper, frivolous, lacking professionalism?"
Chu Yi glanced at Qin Changshu, smiling, "It sounds like this teacher named Chu Yi left a very bad impression on you all?"
Qin Changshu complained, "Mr. Ji, to be honest, this teacher's behavior is quite excessive. Despite having little strength, just a D-level Biotics Man, he always likes to show off his abilities, and even flaunts them with a few Biotics Man students."
"The main issue is, he skirts the edge of the confidentiality agreement, and we can't do anything about it! Isn't that infuriating?"
Chu Yi spoke with a deeper meaning, "Oh, it sounds like he's a contemptible upstart!"
Qin Changshu shook his head, "Not exactly. It's normal for ordinary people to get a bit inflated after awakening Alien Abilities, but this Chu Yi… he's just a bit too much."
Wang Yunlong interjected, "Mr. Ji, this Chu Yi also has another identity. He's from the Chu family of Sichuan Province that you mentioned earlier. So, as long as he doesn't do anything too outrageous, just skirting the bottom line of the confidentiality agreement, we can't really touch him."
Qin Changshu curled his lip, "That's exactly what annoys me the most, playing around the edge like that, and we can't do anything about it!"
During this time, they had thoroughly investigated Chu Yi's background.
Initially, they wanted to arrest him for questioning on the grounds of "violating the confidentiality agreement."
After all, the incident of Chu Yi showing off with Chen Hao and the others on the sports field was quite ambiguous.
He was indeed provocatively testing the limits of the confidentiality agreement.
Wang Yunlong and his team had every right to punish and arrest him.
But upon investigation,
Chu Yi turned out to be from the Chu family of Sichuan Province!
Backed by a martial arts family even stronger than the Guo family!
They were completely helpless against him!
Because of this, Wang Yunlong and the others harbored some resentment towards Chu Yi, and now that he was mentioned, they couldn't help but vent a little.
However, what they didn't notice was,
Qiu Dream had just glanced at her phone, her expression drastically changing.
Then she suddenly looked up at Chu Yi amidst the green light.
The next second, she stood up in shock, as if she had seen something utterly unbelievable.
Noticing her strange behavior,
Wang Yunlong and the others were taken aback, casting puzzled looks at her.
"What's wrong, Fox?" Qin Changshu asked curiously.
Qiu Dream was stunned for a while, her voice trembling, "There's surveillance footage from Jiangyan City that captured the face of one of Mr. Ji's disciples… it's Chen Hao…"
Then, she placed her phone on the table.
It showed a screenshot from the surveillance footage, with Chen Hao's slightly panicked face.
Wang Yunlong and the others glanced at it subconsciously.
Then their expressions froze.
Chen Hao?
Chen Hao?!
Isn't that Chu Yi's student?
Could it be…
An absurd thought crossed their minds.
Then, they stiffly turned to look at Chu Yi, their eyes wide with shock.
They saw, the green aura around Chu Yi had dissipated, and he was looking at them with a smile that was not quite a smile.
