Neither of them controlled their volume, and the people they encountered along the way were momentarily stunned when they heard what they said. After they had processed the meaning of their words, their eyes lit up.
Then, these people set off for the dean's office.
Ten minutes later, the dean's office was packed with people, men, women, young and old, including the dean himself, all staring at the comparison images of the Mist Beasts on the holographic screen, and fell into silence.
After a long pause, someone whispered, "Is this true?"
This provoked Anita to glare angrily, "It has to be true, I saw it with my own eyes. The corpse of the Mist Beast is still in Sang Ning's live stream. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourselves."
Who is Sang Ning?
A group of researchers weren't very interested in survival shows on remote planets; they were more concerned with biological evolution and extinction, and these competitive shows weren't their cup of tea.
Therefore, the people at the Biological Research Center knew about the "Survival on a Wilderness" segment, but they didn't know who the contestants were or who Sang Ning was.
Upon learning that Sang Ning was a contestant on the survival show "Wilderness Planet" and that the place where the Mist Beast was discovered was on the wilderness planet selected by the survival show's production team, everyone present except Anita, after a brief moment of stunned silence, immediately said to the director, "Director, I request to investigate the Mist Beast project."
"Dean, let me lead a team to conduct an on-site investigation on the desolate planet."
"Dean, I think the most urgent thing is to contact the survival show team on the desolate planet to determine its location and to protect its ecological environment."
"Dean..."
"Dean..."
The dean's head throbbed with pain from the noise. He slammed his hand on the table. "Gentlemen, listen to me. This matter needs careful consideration..."
"Discuss what?!"
Che Ziyu, the father of biological genetics, a veteran with a fiery temper and real skills, angrily said, "By the time you finish discussing this, it will be too late, and you won't even be able to eat hot shit."
With that, he slammed his hand on the table and glared at the dean, "Get the report approved quickly, I'll personally lead the team to investigate."
"If you don't approve my application, I'll personally fund my students to go there, and the results will be credited under my personal name, not the research center's name. You can decide for yourself."
As soon as this person appeared, the rest of the people collectively retreated.
They couldn't handle Professor Che's fiery temper; he was sharp-tongued and truly capable. They couldn't compete with him, and they couldn't outmaneuver him either.
Those who didn't want to be scolded by Professor Che silently withdrew from the competition, all looking at the dean, who was frowning with a headache and looked like he wanted to kill flies and mosquitoes, with obvious schadenfreude in their eyes.
Dean, "..."
These heartless people, just wait and see. They'll block project funding in the future. If we don't appease them, the projects won't be approved, and the project funds will be withheld.
Let you watch the show and gloat.
"Professor Che..."
Calling him "Dad" won't help.
He had just started a conversation when Professor Che quickly created a project application on the optical terminal. He sent the application to him and said in a deep voice, "Approve it for me quickly. I'm busy. There's still a lot of preparation work to be done."
The dean didn't want to approve it; he wanted to lead the team there himself.
He hasn't left Central Star for over ten years. He's been stationed at the Central Star Biological Research Center all these years, and it's like being in prison; he's almost driven crazy.
But seeing Professor Che's fierce eyes, which resembled those of a space pirate, the dean paused for two seconds before saying, "Approval is possible, but I have a condition."
"Tell me first."
Professor Che looked at him warily, thinking to himself, "Is this old codger up to no good?"
There was no trouble, but what the dean said made Professor Che feel like he was going to faint.
He said, "Take me with you."
Everyone was speechless.
Professor Che, "!!!"
Are you sick?
Professor Che looked at him sincerely and asked, "Do you know your own position? The head of a hospital is so busy that he's practically spinning like a top every day, and you're telling me you're going to be included?"
"I'll take you with me, you idiot. If you're so capable, quit your job as dean and get back to your status as a research guru, then I'll take you with me."
The dean's face darkened, and he said bitterly, "Did I want to be the dean? If it weren't for you old fogies forcing me into this position, I would still be immersed in the ocean of scientific research. Why would I need to beg you to take me along?"
Upon hearing this, Professor Che revealed a guilty expression, while Anita and the others stared intently at the two of them like onlookers, as if they knew there was more to the story.
"Get out, get out. We need to talk about private matters."
Noticing everyone's eagerness to gossip, Professor Che herded them all away like ducks.
Then, the door slammed shut.
Anita and the others, "..."
They exchanged glances and sighed.
"The chance to find out the inside story is gone again. Oh well, I'm leaving now."
"I'm leaving too."
"I have a meeting to attend later. You can take your time. I'll leave now."
As the first person left, more and more people left.
In a short while, the once bustling and crowded entrance to the dean's office was left with only Anita.
She didn't leave, but instead squatted at the door without any regard for her image, waiting for the dean and the others to come out. She then went back into Sang Ning's live stream room, originally wanting to see the Mist Beast.
Upon entering, they discovered that Sang Ning had already left the Mist Beast and was digging for a type of marine shellfish called General's Hat.
This thing looks a lot like abalone. At first glance, it looks like abalone, and upon closer inspection, it still looks like abalone. However, Sang Ning said that it is not abalone.
Anita, completely bewildered, asked the audience, "This really isn't abalone?"
"No, it's not."
One audience member explained the different types of general's hats to her and then asked, "Where did you go just now?"
"Did you go to investigate that unknown marine creature? Did you find anything?"
"Of course, you can answer this question if it's convenient for you. We're genuinely curious. If it involves classified information, then you don't need to answer."
"There's nothing inconvenient about it. That unknown creature is the Mist Fragrance Beast, which went extinct more than three thousand years ago."
"ยทยทยท"
"???"
"!!!"
The screen was filled with ellipses, question marks, and exclamation marks. Knowing everyone's confusion, Anita explained, "The last record of the Mist Beast was in July of Star Calendar 4723, more than three thousand years ago."
"There have been no records of the Mist Fragrance Beast for more than three thousand years, therefore, the Mist Fragrance Beast has been included in the list of extinct species."
"It turns out that the Mist Beasts did not become extinct; they simply did not appear on planets inhabited by intelligent life, such as planets with habitable planets or ocean planets."
"So, currently only the desolate planet where Sang Ning and the others are located has the Mist Fragrance Beast?"
"Not necessarily. Other barren planets may also have them, but there are too many undeveloped planets with life in Mokaz, so it's not very feasible to conduct human investigations."
"We can first go and investigate the desolate planet that Sang Ning and his people live on."
"The production team may not be willing to reveal the address. The biological research center's attempt to negotiate might result in the program ending, which is something the production team is capable of doing."
