Chalmos noticed the playful glint in Chen Gu's eyes and imdiately showed a pleading expression, his body bowing low in a submissive posture.
Chen Gu just smiled and let go of his hand, not one to harp on once he had made his point.
As the contestants left the field, the audience was still imrsed in the shock of the battle they had just witnessed.
Chen Gu had won too quickly!
In the private box, Gong Shuxu, who had long known the Combat Rooster's strength, watched Bai Yunpeng and the others' astonished expressions and drank down the last bit of wine in his glass. The feeling of solely possessing the truth was indeed refreshing.
In the spectator seats below, Yang Yaoyao hugged Chen Zili's arm tightly, shaking it as she exclaid, "We won, we won, we really won! Your grandfather won!"
Chen Zili was sowhat dumbfounded. Did that old man really win?! Wasn't it said that Energy Gathering chanical Species weren't suitable for the Behemoth Alliance competition? How co my grandfather's creature was so obedient?
The boys nearby, seeing Yang Yaoyao hugging Chen Zili, burned with jealousy.
The Minister, moreover, realized this old man was poised to make serious waves in the Alliance.
After the match, Chen Gu went to praise the Combat Rooster. The creature got so excited it hopped up and down, nearly breaking free from the cage provided by the Behemoth Alliance. The Behemoth Alliance's security personnel watched worriedly, fearing an accident.
They had just witnessed the destructive power of this Energy Gathering chanical Species.
The Tonnage Demon, for all its massive size, had looked as helpless as a child before it, utterly unable to withstand a blow.
Chen Gu soothed the Combat Rooster for a while longer, then went to his private box. As for the Combat Rooster, Behemoth Alliance staff would, of course, take it back to the truck.
As soon as Chen Gu entered the box, Bai Yunpeng rushed up and gave him a strong hug. "Well done, kid! I knew you could do it, haha!"
The others ca forward to congratulate him. The orangutan had brought Man Suling; her eyes, full of a mournful longing that seed on the verge of tears, made Chen Gu flee on the spot.
He still felt there needed to be so emotional foundation between them before they could engage in... that sort of intimacy.
Chen Gu watched the following matches with everyone in the box. Suddenly, he received a ssage; it was from his unfilial adult son: "The match was thrilling."
A slow curve appeared at the corner of Chen Gu's mouth.
「The following day.」
dia outlets big and small focused on reporting the previous day's matches. The main stories, of course, covered those key battles. However, among all the reports from Capital Star, the coverage of Chen Gu's match even surpassed that of "Night Fiend" Nan Zhibei and "Blood Asura" Karu.
Many expert comntators pointed out that Chen Gu and his Combat Rooster differed from previous Energy Gathering chanical Species. They exhibited exquisite cooperation and a significant level of understanding. Most importantly, the Combat Rooster possessed a certain "rationality"; it wasn't blindly aggressive and was willing to obey its master's commands.
In summary, the expert comntators still maintained a cautious stance on their prospects. The number of past failures of Energy Gathering chanical Species was too high to be blindly optimistic after just one success.
Chen Gu ate his breakfast, looking through all the major dia coverage about himself, and was rather satisfied. The Alliance seed to have intervened behind the scenes, as the reports were almost uniformly positive, with very few being pessimistic. The Alliance wants to promote too.
What a pity, all these views are cautiously optimistic—when will I, like those gastars, have a large group of diehard fans?
Following this match, Chen Gu's next appearance in the Behemoth Alliance would be in a week.
Before he had finished his breakfast, he received a call from Dr. ng Ji. The doctor barked at him, "Where are you? Why haven't you co to cooperate with my experint yet?"
In short, the impatient Dr. ng Ji always adopted an aggressively critical attitude towards everyone, at all tis, feeling they were all delaying his research.
Chen Gu humd, "But you didn't inform of the ti!"
Dr. ng Ji said, "Co right now. The experint can start at any ti; we're just waiting for you."
Dr. ng Ji's experint is bound to fail. So, despite the generous promises Aviloya had made, Chen Gu lacked enthusiasm. After hanging up the phone, he dragged his feet, taking several hours to return to the Bureau of Mystic Security headquarters.
He pushed open the large door to Dr. ng Ji's laboratory and said repeatedly as he entered, "Doctor, I rushed here as fast as I could…"
Inside the lab, it was silent. Dozens of people were sitting neatly together, their luggage and backpacks at their feet. Dr. ng Ji stood at the front, and everyone else just sat there, quietly staring at Chen Gu.
Next to them, various instrunts were already packed into safety boxes.
"Uh—" Chen Gu felt a bit embarrassed. "Are you really all waiting for ? Where are we headed?"
Dr. ng Ji stepped forward, grabbed him, and with a CLICK, handcuffed Chen Gu to himself. He said, "Now that we're starting human trials, we need to use the Generator. It's not safe inside the city, so we've found one outside the city.
"This ti, don't expect to let you go before my experint succeeds!"
Chen Gu imdiately wailed, "I'm still a student, and my advisor is quite brutal! I have another match next week, and my fans are eagerly anticipating my next performance!"
Dr. ng Ji paid him no mind and dragged him out. Several large maglev buses erged from beneath the Bureau of Mystic Security headquarters and headed straight out of the city.
Chen Gu tried to negotiate with Dr. ng Ji a few tis, but the doctor completely ignored him. Chen Gu had no choice but to think, I'll cooperate with his experints for a few days, then bring up regaining my freedom.
As the convoy left the city, each bus carried a Professional, along with two ard field agents responsible for everyone's safety. Notably, His Excellency Gong Shuxu sat beside Chen Gu and Dr. ng Ji.
Hours later, they entered another protected area on Capital Star: a dense tropical rainforest with extrely vigorous plant life. Sotis trees and vines tangled together, forming veritable "walls of forest," slowing their progress. It wasn't until evening that they finally reached their destination.
After their identities were verified, the mysterious base opened its doors. Chen Gu discovered there wasn't a single soul inside—it was a completely sealed base!
Gong Shuxu explained, "Typically, colonial planets have several secret bases like this, kept dormant and regularly maintained. Should a war break out and other bases be destroyed, people would retreat here.
"After the war with the Alien Insect Race began, the number of these backup bases increased substantially. Capital Star has at least thirty, though only a few are accessible to our Bureau of Mystic Security."
