Chapter 133 An Unexpected Olive Branch
"Director, I still think our research should shift towards strange creatures."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Is the report finished? Is the data collected? Who gives you opinions here?"
"..."
As expected, it was rejected.
The man sighed, turned, and left the conference room.
He took a cigarette out of his pocket and stood by the window in the corridor, smoking it.
A light drizzle was falling outside.
He was lost in thought, and as he gathered his thoughts, he recalled the events that had occurred recently.
Since August, the whole world has changed.
These strange creatures, with their subversive presence, forcefully entered the scene, giving the original order a heavy blow.
Compared to social issues such as public security.
The researchers were not afraid; on the contrary, they were pleasantly surprised.
Between August and September, various laboratories were attempting to get involved in research projects related to the supernatural objects.
Especially after the establishment of Giant Guard Security.
A massive influx of funds, coupled with the ever-expanding influence of the supernatural entities on the world, has created a situation that is now clearly visible.
Everyone was acting like they'd gone mad.
But this sentiment was quickly dealt a heavy blow.
The study of strange objects is promising, but also quite challenging.
Firstly, the ghost has no physical form, and when a person touches it, it is basically invaded by the ghost.
This means that the researchers are at extremely high risk.
If things go wrong, you could be hacked, die, fall into corruption, and then become a monster like a mutant, which would then lead to a second problem.
funds.
Giant Guardian certainly doesn't lack money.
But it can't withstand such a high temperature!
The unexpected deaths of a large number of researchers forced Giant Vision to temporarily suspend this line.
Instead, they launched another plan that was easier to monetize—a screening plan.
The specific details of the plan are known to very few outsiders.
However, after the project was launched, the funds that Giant Vision had invested in the research field were withdrawn on a large scale.
And, moreover, how ruthless they were when they first came.
They were ruthless when they withdrew.
This is not only because the research investment is too large, the risks are too high, and the returns are too far away.
Also because—
The social impact of these strange objects is also growing.
In October, the prices of basic commodities began to rise steadily.
With the influx and purchase of large amounts of capital, the price of gold began to rise vertically at a 90-degree angle.
As the only anchor in the world at present.
Gold prices are expected to be higher than ever before.
In addition, the value of some unmanned factories and related production chain industries is also skyrocketing.
All industries that require manpower are facing an unprecedented winter.
Winter is indeed approaching.
The perceived temperature and the economic temperature have almost synchronized.
This change will certainly reach a new peak by the end of this year.
However, research on the strange objects that influence these changes has almost completely ceased.
A consensus was reached within the industry in November—
The strange object is not important.
The one who falls into the trap is the most important!
Where did the ghost come from?
What are its characteristics?
What is its intrinsic value?
How to contain it?
Nobody cares.
All eyes were focused on one thing—the one who had fallen into the trap.
The research on the strange creatures will take an unknown amount of time before it becomes a reality.
Those who fall into the trap.
As soon as it is born, it immediately generates value!
Major institutions offered exorbitant prices, continuously driving up the value of those who had entered the illusion.
Laboratories and research institutions that had previously attempted to accelerate their research into supernatural objects have gradually returned to their original state.
They even became more lax.
They find it difficult to concentrate on the research at hand.
Dramatic changes are happening all over the world!
They are human too, and they also want to seize this opportunity and ride the wave to new heights!
Only a small number of researchers still believe that we should continue to delve into and study the supernatural, and establish a more comprehensive archival system as soon as possible.
Ma Ming is one of those who holds this view.
What good is it if the person who enters the realm of deception is worth a lot?
Their power still originates from strange creatures!
There are still too many unknowns about the mysterious creature.
There is a great deal of room for research.
However, there was no opportunity.
After finishing his cigarette, Ma Ming glanced at the gloomy sky and planned to turn around and go back to the lab to continue processing the data.
The project they were in charge of has now almost completely stalled.
The lab director's mind was completely elsewhere.
Staying here, collecting a meager salary, just drifting through life...
This prospect made Ma Ming sigh again.
He thought he would continue working like this until the laboratory closed down.
At that very moment, a phone call came into his hands.
"Hey?"
"Hello, are you Mr. Ma?"
"Yes, that's me. How can I help you?"
"I am a director of the Zero Association."
"?"
"Our company is planning to establish a research institute, but we are currently short-staffed. I wonder if Mr. Ma would be interested in working for us?"
“Zero Cooperation? A security company doing research is too much…” Ma Ming couldn’t help but laugh.
This range can't even be described as large.
They are completely unrelated.
He was just about to refuse when he heard the other person say:
"How about a base salary of 30,000 a month? We plan to make you the head of the department. Also, our research focus is on strange creatures."
When can I go and report for duty?
