Beast Taming Era: I Became Groudon

Chapter 189: Return to the City
"Xiao Xu, I'm really sorry to bother you this time. I'll transfer the balance later. We'll leave first."

At the door of the studio, Director Deng looked at Xu Jian and said, "It's really a long journey there and a short journey back home." After traveling day and night, they finally returned to Lava City.

At this time, he just wanted to take the samples back as soon as possible, and other things could be dealt with later.

"Okay, Director, take care."

After hearing this, Xu Jian replied, and Director Deng took the members of the survey team on the bus and headed towards the Development Bureau.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! The mission is finally completed successfully. It's great." He Ping couldn't help but jump up when he saw the bus going away.

"Yes, yes." Yuan Jinghong echoed, "Should we go buy a bottle of champagne to celebrate this memorable day?"

This was the first time they received a multi-million dollar order and they completed it so easily. This was a big deal and they should definitely celebrate it.

"What kind of commemoration is this? You didn't contribute anything, so what's there to commemorate?" Xu Jian said unhappily, "Everyone go back and rest first. We'll see you the day after tomorrow. Have fun and eat. We can talk about anything later."

"Okay, I'll be leaving first then." Cheng Kemei nodded and said, "See you in a few days, Tingting. I need to go to sleep first to recover from the jet lag."

"Okay, goodbye, Sister Mei." Xu Tingting replied, and Cheng Kemei rode away on her electric scooter.

"Okay, you two can go back. I won't see you off. You don't live too far away anyway." After seeing Cheng Kemei leave, Xu Jian spoke and called Xu Tingting to get in the car.

As the car started to shake, only two people were left at the studio door, staring at each other.

"Good brother, what should we say now? We are the only two brothers left." He Ping said after looking around.

"What else can we do? Let's all go back home and find our own mothers." Yuan Jinghong said, then turned and left.

"Tingting, how is Groudon doing now? Has he successfully upgraded?"

In the moving car, Xu Jian looked at the rearview mirror which was gradually becoming empty, and asked impatiently.

There were so many people around along the way that he had no way to ask about Groudon's situation. Now that they didn't come down, he finally couldn't resist his curiosity.

He wanted to know that after Groudon upgraded, his appearance did not change. What was its strength like now?
"Grawo has now been successfully upgraded, brother." After hearing this, Xu Tingting looked at the beast control space and said, "It looks almost the same as before the upgrade, except that it has grown to more than 100 meters in length."

"Really? That's great." Xu Jian said happily, "Grawoman's sudden upgrade will definitely arouse other people's suspicion. I suggest you don't rush to let everyone know."

"Let Groudon stay in the Beast Taming Space for a while before announcing his upgrade to the public."

"Well, I plan to wait half a month before announcing the upgrade of Groudon." Xu Tingting said after hearing this. If possible, she actually didn't want to announce the upgrade of Groudon to the outside world.

But there was no other way. He was now a battle beastmaster of the Lava City Beastmaster Association. He had to make his beastmaster level public?
"This shouldn't attract too much attention." Xu Jian nodded and said, "Same as before. Shall I take you back to school?"

"That's not necessary. Brother, just send me to the association." Xu Tingting said, "Otherwise, if the principal sees me and asks me to give a speech, my head will really explode."

"Okay, then I'll take you to the association." Xu Jian said with a smile, and drove towards the Lava City Beast Taming Association.

An hour later, when the car stopped in front of the association, Xu Tingting met the president at the door.

"Tingting, you came just in time. Not too late, not too late, just on time." The president greeted with a smile.

When Xu Tingting saw this, she immediately became alert:

"President, please don't talk to me like that. I'm a little panicked."

"Besides, you are waiting for me at the door in person. You can't be idle."

"Of course not. I'm waiting for you here because I have something to tell you." The president said with a smile.

"Good or bad thing?"

Xu Tingting felt uneasy when she heard this. She knew that the president was waiting for her in person and must have something to talk to her about.

"Of course it's a good thing. How could I cheat you for no reason?" Hearing this, the president laughed and scolded, "Come in quickly, Tingting."

"Don't stand outside and talk. How distant does that make you seem?"

"Okay..." Xu Tingting replied weakly after hearing this. She was very suspicious that the other party was going to cheat her since he looked like this.

After all, there must be something in return when you give someone a gift.

After following the president into the office, the president took out a map and handed it to Xu Tingting.

After Xu Tingting took it, she looked at it and said, "Where is this map from? It doesn't look like it's near us."

There is no sea near their Lava City, so why did the president show her the map?
"This is a map of the Zisha Sea. We recently heard that natural gas resources have appeared somewhere in the Zisha Sea, so we plan to survey it." The president said, "But that place is in disputed waters. When our country learned of this news, other countries also knew about it. Therefore, the safety of this survey has become the focus of this time."

"So this matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with me. There are so many talented people there, there's no need for me to go there." Xu Tingting said weakly after hearing this. She had just returned from the vast white Tianshuangyuan, and she really didn't want to go to the watery sea again.

"Of course you don't have to go to other places, but this place is different." The president pressed the remote control, and a map appeared in the office. He pointed to the large area of ​​red on the map and said, "The Zisha Sea is located in an earthquake zone. There are volcanic eruptions on the seabed all year round, causing the water temperature to be very high. If it were an ordinary beastmaster, this would definitely be a big problem."

"But it's just right for you and your Gudora. It won't be affected at all."

"So, was it you, the president, who suggested this matter to the higher-ups? Or did the higher-ups tell you about it?" Xu Tingting asked weakly.

So this is the situation. She said why did it happen to her?

The sea area with volcanic eruptions all year round is indeed very troublesome, but whose idea was it to ask her to take action?

"Although my position in the association is not low, do you think the country will specifically tell me about this kind of thing?" The president shrugged and said.

"That means it's you, the president, that's the one above who's looking for you, right?" Xu Tingting said after hearing this.

"That's right." The president nodded upon hearing this: "I'm just a messenger. As for whether you want to go or not, it depends on whether you are willing, Tingting."

"What time is that?" When Xu Tingting heard that it was the country looking for her, she paused and asked.

If the president took the initiative to talk to the country, then she could still find a way to shirk responsibility, but if the country took the initiative to find the president, then it would be a bit troublesome and it would not be so easy to shirk responsibility.

"About half a month later. The military will tell you the exact time later." The president took out a letter from the drawer and handed it to Xu Tingting, saying, "This is the letter the military gave me when they talked to me. They said they would give it to you after you come back. Whether you are willing to go or not, I hope you will take a look at it first."

"I have to state in advance that I don't know the contents of the letter, and I haven't opened it."

"I understand, President. You are such an old man, is there any need to be so scared?" Xu Tingting said speechlessly. The president has already sat in such a high position, so even if he really peeked, it would not be a big deal. Is it necessary to be so panicked?

"You can't say that. I'm a law-abiding citizen." The president emphasized, "I've already explained everything to you. Go back and find a place to look for it yourself."

"Okay, President." Xu Tingting looked at the word "Navy" on the envelope and nodded. "By the way, I just talked to you for too long. I forgot to tell you a piece of news. Groudon has advanced to the Emperor level not long ago."

"What! Groudon has become an emperor-level beast?" Upon hearing this, the president of the association was excited for a few seconds, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face: "Let me see what Groudon looks like after evolution. I have never seen Groudon at the emperor level."

"We may need to find a bigger place. Groudon is a bit big now." Xu Tingting smiled and said, since the military asked her to help? Then the news of Groudon's entry into the emperor level would make no difference if it was spread earlier or later.

Moreover, the military knew that after Groudon reached the emperor level, the rewards given would definitely be different. After all, although there was only one level difference between the king level and the emperor level, the strength was very different.

"A bit big?" The president was stunned for a moment, then muttered to himself, "Indeed, indeed, Groudon is so powerful, and he will definitely change when he enters the Emperor level."

"How about this, let's go to the volcano training ground. It's a big place there, so we can let Groudon out."

"Okay." Xu Tingting nodded and followed the president out of the association to the volcano training field.

Not long after, the two landed at the volcano training ground, and the president couldn't wait to say, "Tingting, quickly release Groudon. He has been in the beast control space for so long, he must be suffocating."

"Okay, President." Xu Tingting nodded and released Groudon.

How could it be that Groudon was the one who was choking? She thought it was the guildmaster who was the one who was choking.

"Boom boom boom"

As the light faded, the entire earth made a loud noise, and the volcano spewed out bright magma.

The whole earth is happy for the advanced Groudon. The gushing magma is the fireworks of celebration, and the roaring vibration sound is the joyful happiness.

"What's going on? What happened? Why is this happening?"

"Is there going to be another earthquake? Oh my god, I've had enough of this."

"Yes, please don't let there be another earthquake. If it continues, I'll be numb."

The Earth Volcano was cheering, but the Beast Tamers in the Volcano Training Field could not cheer. This kind of situation had happened once before some time ago, and their Beast Tamers had all their hair burned bald.

If this happens a few more times, they will be embarrassed to say that their pre-sale products are fire-type beast tamers.

"Is this what Groudon looks like after entering the emperor level? It doesn't look like there is much change, but the height is really a bit big." The president said, looking at Zhong Cong's huge body.

Groudon's current height finally matches the intimidating power that his reputation dictates. Although his original height of over thirty meters was not small, he always felt that something was missing.

Now he finally knew what was missing; it turned out to be height.

"Yes, Groudon has grown very tall now." Xu Tingting nodded when she heard that.

"I said you called me out just to see how tall I am, right?" Zhong Cong, who was being stared at by the two men, said unhappily, "Shouldn't you two bring out some gifts to congratulate me for getting stronger?"

"Uh..." Xu Tingting was stunned when she heard this. Groudon asked them for gifts?

Sorry, she really doesn't know how to prepare a gift.

"Tingting, what is Groudon saying?" The president, who was looking at Zhong Cong, asked. Is Groudon talking to him? But the problem is that he can't understand what Groudon is saying at all.

"Grawo asked us if we have any gifts for him?" Xu Tingting replied weakly, but she did not lie.

She is so familiar with the president now that she doesn't have to beat around the bush when speaking like before.

"Yes, a gift."

"Grawo has become so much stronger and taller, so we really need to prepare a gift." Upon hearing this, the president suddenly realized something and immediately searched for a suitable gift in his storage bracelet.

"President, are you really planning to prepare a gift for Groudon?" Xu Tingting was stunned when she saw it.

What Groudon said sounded like a casual remark, so why did the president take it seriously?

"Of course, Groudon is the signature of our Lava City Beast Taming Association. Now that he has reached the emperor level, we must prepare a gift." The president said while searching in the storage bracelet: "Tingting, do you think we should hold a celebration party for Groudon? To celebrate his entry into the emperor level?"

The stronger Groudon becomes, the greater the reputation of their Lava City Beastmaster Association will naturally become.

For something like Groudon becoming stronger, of course a big celebration should be held so that the whole country knows about it.

"Forget it, President." Xu Tingting waved her hand and said:

"I don't want to be bothered by people every day in the future, so I'd better keep a low profile. It's better to keep a low profile."

"Well, since you put it that way."

"We won't hold any external celebrations, but we still have to have the ones within the association." The president said, and went to find someone to publicize the celebration for Groudon.

"President, is this any different from holding a celebration for the outside world?" Xu Tingting complained helplessly upon seeing this.

"Very good, very good. The president is really a good person. I am looking forward to what gift I will receive then." Zhong Cong said with satisfaction as he looked at the president who was jumping around.

"Grawo, you are so careless. Once this news gets out, you and I will probably be very busy." Xu Tingting on the side said with a frown upon hearing this.

It’s fine that the president is just messing around, but Groudon is planning to join in?
"What are you afraid of? Anyone who is not afraid of death can come. As for the consequences, it's fine as long as they can afford it." Zhong Cong said indifferently.

Aren't they here to gather intelligence, besides challenging them?

What else is there to say when dealing with this guy? Is there any justice in the underworld?
Just give him a "Cliff Sword" to make both humans and animals fly into the sky.

"Okay, Groudon, just be quiet." Xu Tingting said quickly, "Just sleep and eat, don't come out and kill people. I can't stand it."

Now that he has two more emperor beasts, there is no need for Groudon to take action again. Groudon just needs to stay here and sleep obediently. He has such a strong murderous intention that she is really worried that the guys who come to challenge him will kill them all.

And given Groudon's current situation, she really didn't dare to let Groudon out. After all, Groudon could even kill legendary beasts.

If an ordinary emperor-level person encounters this, wouldn’t he be destroyed immediately without leaving even ashes?

"Okay, then remember to prepare a gift for me." Zhong Cong lay down and reminded him. Even the earth was celebrating his advancement, so Tingting, as his partner, should also show some appreciation.

"Got it. I will." Xu Tingting nodded when she heard it. After looking at the people approaching nearby, she started running away.

Although she had experienced many big scenes, she was still not used to being stared at by so many people.

"Grawo has really advanced to the emperor level." After the beastmasters who received the news from the president gathered together, they looked at the huge monster in front of them and exclaimed.

"Yeah, I wonder how strong Groudon has become now?" a Beastmaster asked curiously.

"Anyway, it's definitely easy to kill an Emperor level, so a Legend level won't lose." After thinking about Groudon's record, someone spoke up.
