Cultivating through increasing my stats in America Chapter 497 - 289: Third-Order Life Form2

The reason he had co to this kind of place was also to avoid all sorts of surveillance, even satellite reconnaissance.

Once there, Li Ang finally didn’t need to worry about his manners and ate about eighty percent of the food he had packed. He finally felt a sense of fullness in his body.

He casually demonstrated a few movents and found that those skills that had reached the Grandmaster level and above were good, and he could adapt to them almost imdiately.

And he could slowly start to improve his movents based on the changes in his body structure.

In other words, the original movents were configured according to his old body, the optimal movents, but now with significant changes in his body, these movents naturally needed to be reconfigured.

As for those skills below the Grandmaster level, they couldn’t even adapt to his new body and could only rely on slow practice and gradual adaptation.

The feeling of strength was the simplest and most intuitive; Li Ang found that without any changes in his "[Strength]" attribute, the strength he exhibited had more than doubled.

In the storeroom, Li Ang could even lift several-ton heavy equipnt with one hand without any pressure.

The sa was true for speed; in the storeroom with thousands of square ters, wherever Li wanted to go, it was almost instantaneous. Speed and strength actually complented each other.

As for the "[Reaction]" and "[Spirit]" attributes, there was really no way to test them here, but just based on his own feelings, Li could tell they were also increasing by multiples.

This was equivalent to now having a hundred attribute points; after becoming a third-tier lifeform, he could completely treat them as two hundred or even three hundred points.

This kind of enhancent also gave him a much stronger confidence in his next actions.

On the way back, Li Ang casually passed by a bank and transferred two hundred thousand US dollars to the bank’s owner, who was either unlucky or fortunate.

With his strength increasing, he was now more and more able to do as he pleased.

Upon returning to the research center, Li Ang had hardly started rejoicing over his breakthrough when he suddenly received an announcent on the internal chat software.

If it were so leaders’ research visits, or the announcent of so event, Li usually couldn’t be bothered to look, but this ti the announcent was a notification of punishnt.

He might ignore comndation notices, but punishnt notifications were definitely worth reading—who didn’t have a bit of curiosity?

"Fuck."

Li Ang unconsciously blurted out.

Now the gossip had landed on his own head.

After opening the notification, he discovered his na was prominently listed, even ranked first.

Those behind him had mild punishnts for violating rules, at most a fine or a reprimand. But Li, ranked at the top, faced a demotion.

His original position as the Special Operations Team leader was equivalent to Major General rank. After this demotion, he was reduced to deputy team leader, equivalent to a Colonel rank.

And his list of charges was much longer than others.

Disobeying organizational arrangents, negative work attitude, damaging key assets during a mission...

A variety of charges were listed, generally the kind that wouldn’t be pursued under normal circumstances, but could still be discussed if there was a will to pursue them.

One didn’t need to think too hard to know that this was because of the recent competition he had participated in; the higher-ups had developed opinions about him.

Of course, just having opinions probably wouldn’t warrant this targeting. Perhaps there was also a goal to knock him down a notch to better control him later on.

He might think that once Li obeyed the next ti, he would restore Li’s position, and then Li would even have to thank him.

Another possibility was that this was killing the chicken to warn the monkeys, perhaps choosing him for a demonstration wasn’t unique.

It was partly because he himself was an X-level Mutant Warrior, targeting him had more deterrent power.

Moreover, he was a newcor and lacked any connections, making him easier to manipulate.

But how could Li Ang possibly tolerate this bad habit of his?

To avoid harming others, he specifically called Katerina to roughly understand the situation.

Although Katerina was initially unaware of the matter, as a "veteran" she quickly gossiped her way through the details.

Knowing that Li Ang received such a punishnt over such a trivial matter, Katerina was also quite furious.

"Do these leaders have shit for brains? Don’t they know who is actually accomplishing the missions for them, or do they think all these achievents are their own doing? If you ask , just send them on a mission themselves and they’ll be put in their place."

After venting her emotions, Katerina comforted Li Ang:

"The announcent is out now, and there probably isn’t much room for redemption at this point. However, I doubt they would actually target a mutant warrior of your X-league. It might not be long before you could have your position back..."

Honestly, Katerina’s account was quite objective, but what she didn’t know was that after this incident, Li Ang simply didn’t want to work there anymore; so, to hell with obedience.

Li Ang opened the official group chat on the internal app, directly tagged the leaders who had issued the orders, and typed in the chat box "F**K YOUR MOTHER!".

Click, send, and then he left the group chat.

"Ah, feels good to let it all out like that."

Li Ang happily closed the interface, then booked a ticket to Japan.

And by the way, he submitted his resignation.

This kind of thing might not be greatly hurtful, but it’s extrely insulting. Even in Arica, such words are considered harsh and quite vulgar, but undeniably satisfying.

If they really wanted to do sothing about Li Ang, at most they could sue him for defamation and make him pay so money, nothing more.

At their level, who would miss that amount of money? Instead, making a bigger issue out of this would only let everyone know they were insulted, and ultimately, they would be the ones losing face.

As for retaliation in private, Li Ang wasn’t afraid of that; he could take a few RPG hits without a problem. But if Li Ang really decided to go after those so-called leaders, they would probably not live peaceably for the rest of their lives.

After Li Ang had vented, the group chat exploded.

Though no one in the group dared to ssage, and Li Ang’s ssage was quickly withdrawn by the administrator, several hundred people still saw the ssage, and many took screenshots.

Many were guessing who this Li Ang really was and why he was so bold.

Recalling today’s disciplinary announcent, many people finally made the connection.

The majority admired Li Ang. The leaders were unpopular to begin with; everyone had wanted to curse them out like that but sadly lacked Li Ang’s courage. With soone else speaking up, it felt like a celebration.

Katerina just stared at the ssages in the group for a long ti, until they were retracted.

Although she had also cursed, she only dared to do so privately. Cursing out the leaders in a large group chat of several hundred people was practically equivalent to slapping them in public.

At that mont, in the leaders’ office, the several leaders who had ordered the disciplinary action were fuming, having already smashed two coffee cups.

"Issue! Issue! Issue! Bring the decision on the disciplinary action; how dare he openly insult leaders? How dare he?"

"For such a person, it just proves that our punishnt was correct, exposing his true nature. I believe such behavior must be severely punished!"

The group chattered about what kind of punishnt to impose on Li Ang when suddenly the secretary knocked on the office door.

She cautiously said:

"It seems the punishnt cannot be issued, as Li Ang has already submitted his resignation."
