When system cheat becomes rampant!

"The desolate beasts cultivated from the laboratory have various defects, short lifespans, and they cannot reproduce offspring as their bodies are inherently a combination of two Beast Pills. You don't need to worry about mutation issues. However, compared to other desolate beasts, they have a very obvious advantage!"

Zhao Ruizhong paused, then said in a deep voice, "They are controllable!"

The desolate beast incubators come with this type of control system ability, provided by the beast-controlling type System Awakener. Such Awakeners are born with the ability to fight by controlling Beast Pills.

Applying the beast-controlling ability to desolate beast incubators is designed to prevent the cultivated desolate beasts from going out of control.

"The desolate beasts raised in incubators since their early days can have their consciousness interfered with when they are still very weak, making them remember our commands. As a result, when they grow up, they will follow our commands obediently."

Zhao Ruizhong was unstoppable when discussing the cultivation of desolate beasts. Initially, Xiang Beifei and the others could control desolate beasts for combat during their interviews.

"The desolate beasts from the laboratory are not much different from those beast-controlling martial artists. They can also fight for us during the outbreak of a beast tide, and they even have greater combat power! Safe and reliable!" Zhao Ruizhong said.

Xiang Beifei exclaimed, "That's a very constructive idea! Theoretically, the Alliance should support it, since it's essentially creating many beast-controlling martial artists!"

Beast-controlling martial artists are mostly not to be underestimated. The most typical of them is Gao Zhuo with his "Unparalleled Chess Player System," specifically sealing desolate beasts for combat.

His system, although simple for Xiang Beifei to crack, rendered the sealed desolate beasts nearly invincible on the battlefield against the beast tide, as those desolate beasts would never figure out how to break his chessboard rules.

If this idea could be realized, it essentially means many pioneers could become beast-controlling martial artists, controlling desolate beasts to fight against desolate beasts, significantly reducing human casualties!

"Doctor, haven't they explained this to them?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"How could they not have explained? This idea of mine originally had Alliance support, but unfortunately, after a change in leadership, they scrapped my research."

Zhao Ruizhong sighed.

"Which department did Doctor Zhao previously work in?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"At the Alliance Beast Tide Defense Department. You graduated from Liangzhou University; you know Professor Luo Yunxian, right?" Zhao Ruizhong asked.

"I know him, but not well," Xiang Beifei said.

"That's too bad. With your capabilities, it's a pity that Professor Luo didn't discover you. If you could have received guidance from Professor Luo, I believe your achievements would have been much higher!"

Zhao Ruizhong mentioned Professor Luo with great respect.

Xiang Beifei touched his forehead.

That great idle fish!

"He once greatly agreed with my philosophy and supported my research into desolate beasts. But as you may know, Professor Luo resigned because of some issues. As soon as the new leader He Caiwei came in, he terminated my research under the pretext of jeopardizing Alliance security,"

Zhao Ruizhong brought up the matter, still resentful.

He still couldn't understand why He Caiwei didn't accept his viewpoint.

However, Xiang Beifei knew the reason.

He Caiwei's targeting of Zhao Ruizhong was not really about the so-called security of the Alliance; it was actually because Elder Luo supported Zhao Ruizhong's research, so Zhao was treated as Elder Luo's accomplice.

"Why not go to Liangzhou University? With Doctor Zhao's capabilities, being a professor at Liangzhou University would be more than adequate," Xiang Beifei asked.

Zhao Ruizhong helplessly said, "It's not that simple. I tried my best to explain to He Caiwei that my research on desolate beasts was for defending against the beast tide, and I explained the feasibility of using desolate beasts to defeat desolate beasts. Professor Luo could attest to this. However, He Caiwei still arrested me on charges of harboring ill-intentions and endangering Jiuzhou's safety. Even though I was later released, I've been branded, and He Caiwei has banned any Alliance department from hiring me."

Nine elite universities, under the jurisdiction of the Alliance, were also departments of the Alliance. Zhao Ruizhong's interference by He Caiwei meant that he could not take a position at the university.

"So the doctor came here?"

"Yes, originally I was somewhat at a dead end. The owner of the Wufu Desolate Beast Research Company found me and said he could support me in any desolate beast research, providing the equipment and resources for my research. It was like a glimmer of hope for me, so I've always been grateful to the company."

Zhao Ruizhong smiled, then clapped Xiang Beifei on the shoulder and said, "This company has always prioritized the attitude towards scientific researchers. They prioritize researchers first in everything and accept any feedback we might have. Actually, offering you a salary of two million was my own initiative, but they didn't say anything. Believe me, you won't regret working here."

"I see."

Xiang Beifei nodded slightly, not expecting Zhao Ruizhong to have such a past.

His dislike for He Caiwei deepened even further.

For such talent to be forced to leave the Alliance was indeed a significant loss for the Alliance.

He suddenly realized why the Unrestrained forces were so potent.

Given the situation within the Alliance, higher-ranked Awakeners form cliques, reject dissenting opinions, and forcefully expel those not complying with their views from the Alliance.

This was equivalent to offering Unrestrained an opportunity to recruit talents!

Particularly, the Wufu Desolate Beast Research Company also knew how to respect and attract talented individuals. From Lin Long's initial treatment of Zhao Ruizhong, it was evident they had always respected scientific talents like Zhao Ruizhong, offering high salaries and fulfilling any conditions necessary.

Unrestrained truly achieved the feat of wisely selecting and employing the capable.

It sounds quite ironic when said out loud.

Zhao Ruizhong said, "But speaking of which, now that He Caiwei has been imprisoned, it really is a relief. I should really thank Professor Luo for standing up for me. Oh right, the most thanks should actually go to Professor Luo's disciple Xiang Beifei!"

"Eh? Xiang Beifei?"

Xiang Beifei himself was stunned when he heard this.

That name sounded so familiar.

"Yes! Over these years, many people have forgotten what the name Luo Yunxian means. It was Xiang Beifei who reintroduced him to everyone. In fact, I feel that Professor Luo's decisive handling of He Caiwei and Zhu Yiji, gaining so much public support, couldn't be separated from Xiang Beifei. Honestly, if Xiang Beifei were here, I would genuinely want to express my gratitude to him. Ah, what a pity there's no chance to interact with such a prodigy."

Zhao Ruizhong expressed considerable regret.

Xiang Beifei: "..."

"By the way, Zheng Xian, you graduated from Liangzhou University, do you know Xiang Beifei?" Zhao Ruizhong asked.

"I can't really say... I know him? I have seen him at school. I guess he and I... aren't from the same world," Xiang Beifei tried to find the right way to put it.

"Zheng Xian, don't sell yourself short! Although Xiang Beifei is impressive, he's only skilled in martial arts! But you, even though you're an S-grade with modest martial arts capability, you are an absolute genius in the field of Beast Pills! Everyone has their specialty, and anyone can find their place to shine. I can assure you, you will excel beyond Xiang Beifei in this field, so never underestimate yourself!"

Zhao Ruizhong clapped Xiang Beifei on the shoulder, encouragingly said.

In his view, Zheng Xian's future was also bright! With proper cultivation, his achievements in desolate beast research could equally match Xiang Beifei's!

"Is... is that so?"

Xiang Beifei secretly broke into a sweat.
