Full-Time Public Enemy

Chapter 813 - 537: Ninth Power Level

Ding Zhou finished communicating with everyone, expressed his stance, and brushed aside past grudges with a smile, then hurriedly departed to continue his preparations.Aviloya and Chen Gu parted ways, and everyone went to rest.

Milgray suddenly gave Chen Gu a teasing smile and said, "Have you ever thought that while you see yourself as a safety fuse, others might see you as... a mascot?"

Chen Gu was momentarily speechless, touching his nose, he thought, well, it seems there is a possibility of that.

Milgray's room was next to Chen Gu's, and as they reached the door, someone was waiting for Chen Gu, who seemed familiar. The person stepped forward to introduce himself, "Captain Chen, I am also from the Bureau of Mystic Security, always following Deputy Director Ding."

Chen Gu frowned slightly, and the person quickly said, "Please don't misunderstand, Deputy Director Ding asked me to deliver something to you."

He opened some electronic files for Chen Gu to review one by one: "These are shares of some companies, with a total value of about two billion Starshield. Deputy Director Ding has signed the documents, giving them all to you."

Chen Gu was puzzled by this. On closer inspection, he recognized the names of the companies from the stock documents.

Chen Gu understood and accepted the documents, "Alright, thank Deputy Director Ding for me."

The conflict between Ding Zhou and Chen Gu originated from a movie project. Ding Zhou lacked confidence in Chen Gu's film, using the project to remedy a potential leak crisis.

Thus, Ding Zhou stuffed it with many connected people, who were eventually ousted by Chen Gu, leaving Ding Zhou feeling offended.

These companies were backed by those connected individuals. Ding Zhou held some shares in these companies. Now, Ding Zhou has given all these shares to Chen Gu, which isn't a significant sum for either of them.

But this gesture shows Ding Zhou's attitude.

With Ding Zhou's change in attitude, Chen Gu was able to be somewhat reassured.

Milgray watched from the side, expressing her sentiment after the man left, "You bureaucrats truly know how to make money. As a super lifeform, taking on a task involves life and death struggle, yet one mission doesn't even earn me two billion."

Chen Gu rolled his eyes at her, "Are you really struggling for life and death in your tasks? It's evidently the targets that struggle for life and death while you crush them casually."

Perhaps crushing is unnecessary; often, a mere wriggle suffices.

Milgray shook her head helplessly, recalling that the two most "strenuous" tasks recently were both related to Chen Gu...

No words were exchanged throughout the night, and at nine the next morning, Ding Zhou's promotion ceremony was set to begin.

By eight-thirty, everyone had gathered outside the generator.

Aviloya appeared solemn, addressing Ding Zhou, who had calmed from unease and excitement to tranquility after a night's adjustment, "In outer space, there are twelve main Starships ensuring that external forces won't interfere with your promotion."

"I am personally overseeing things here with Chen Gu's assistance, so you can confidently proceed and give it your all."

Ding Zhou's aura was stable and weighty as he nodded, "Thank you, Director, for all your arrangements."

This promotion ceremony was overseen by Dr. Meng Ji himself, who began conducting various routine checks with his research team on Ding Zhou, and the data quickly indicated a favorable situation; Ding Zhou was in peak condition.

"Alright, off you go." Dr. Meng Ji patted Ding Zhou's shoulder, who then strode proudly into the generator.

This generator was larger than any that Chen Gu had used, even utilizing a full four dedicated energy lines!

As Dr. Meng Ji operated the generator, he remarked to Chen Gu, "The Confederation has many generators, but only three are capable of advancing to the Ninth Power Level, and this is one of them."

"You're rather lucky that a suitable generator for your {Radiation Missionary} was available."

"If your profession isn't among those covered by these three generators, you'd need to find a suitable generator from other Star Nations, entailing complex negotiations and significant benefit exchanges, and it's less reliable than domestically—quite troublesome."

Milgray gazed at the generator, her expression somewhat complex. After a while, she suddenly whispered in Chen Gu's ear, "I wonder if someday in the future, I might become a generator myself."

Chen Gu felt a tinge of sympathy, comforting her, "Don't worry, the principal won't let such a thing happen."

One of the critical raw materials for generators is the relics of super lifeforms.

Milgray merely smiled without adding anything further.

All procedures mirrored the promotion ceremony Chen Gu had experienced, except that the resources and energy required for advancing to the Ninth Power Level were magnitudes larger, quickly maxing out the first dedicated energy channel.

Dr. Meng Ji promptly ordered, "Activate the second energy channel!"

"Activate the third energy channel."

The brilliance within the generator reached its zenith, the intense white light enveloping everyone present, making their bodies appear transparent.

The light maintained its peak state for approximately three seconds before it started waning.

The monitoring instruments beside Dr. Meng Ji immediately blared alarmingly, "Detected intrusion from the Endless Realm!"

"The energy level is extremely strong!"
