Working as a consultant in the Ultra Universe

"Don't be so serious, I just came to take a look."

Looking at the somewhat nervous new team members, Gu Chen smiled friendly and said.

"Yes!"

But despite this, the new team members were still tense.

After all, for them, Gu Chen's status was a little too high.

However, the old team members remained as relaxed as ever and did not become alienated because of Gu Chen's current rising status.

In response, Gu Chen simply nodded to the old team members, then walked towards the new team members who looked a little nervous.

Just like the original plot, UGM has 6 new members, including Kazuki Oyama as vice-captain, and Junkichi Ito, Tokihiko Harada, Hiroshi Tajima, Emi Jono, and Jiro Sakata as members.

Yes, that's right. After 4 years, Jiro Sakata has grown into a 19-year-old boy. Through his own efforts, he successfully entered the Earth Defense Force Training School. Finally, he graduated early with excellent results and joined the UGM team.

Gu Chen looked at the little guy who used to steal bread in the bakery he opened and saw him grow up into the big man he is today. He couldn't help but feel sad about how time flies.

"Jiro, I heard before that you joined UGM. I thought it was someone with the same name as you. I didn't expect you to actually do it."

Gu Chen reached out, patted Sakata Jiro on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Yes, sir!"

Jiro Sakata was a little excited.

"Why are you calling me sir? I actually miss the way you used to address me."

Gu Chen smiled and said.

The little guy who used to call him 'Store Manager Brother' can now call him 'Boss' in a serious tone.

"hey-hey……"

Jiro Sakata said nothing, just kept smiling foolishly.

After chatting briefly with the new team members, Gu Chen didn't stay in the operations room for long and turned around and left.

Perhaps because Gu Chen's status is getting higher and higher, it is difficult for new team members to get close to him like the old ones.

Only Jiro Sakata is close to him because they have known each other since childhood.

As for Dashan Yishu and the others, they were less close and more respectful.

Gu Chen could sense that his presence made Dashan Yishu and the others somewhat uncomfortable, just like having a big boss standing next to them while they were working.

Gu Chen had no good solution to this problem. In order not to affect their work, he had to leave the operations room temporarily.

In short, it is difficult for him to stay in the operations room for a long time and chat with the players like before.

……

Three days flew by.

As Yi Chuguanghong said, the experiment of negative energy detection radar only takes three days.

As soon as the three days were up, Yi Chu Guanghong's communication was transmitted to Gu Chen through the UGM headquarters.

"Hello? Consultant, the experimental results are in. We have used that formula to create a radar capable of detecting new energy fluctuations."

The voice of Yi Chu Guanghong was heard from the portable communicator.

"Really? Then can the radar be put into practical use?"

Gu Chen was cheered up when he heard this. Yi Chu Guanghong did not disappoint him.

"Well... it's possible, but unfortunately, due to factors such as material limitations, the detection radar's accuracy and precision are not ideal."

Yi Chu Guanghong pondered for a moment and said with some regret.

"There's nothing we can do about it. As long as it can be put into use, that's all."

Gu Chen had no way to solve Yi Chu Guanghong's regret. After all, it was not something he could do alone.

The progress of science and technology needs to be gradual. Even if shortcuts can be taken in some aspects, overall it requires the joint efforts of all human scientists.

"Okay, no problem, but let me ask, has that civilian scientist named this new type of energy fluctuation?"

Yi Chu Guanghong asked with some curiosity.

"He said it was negative energy."

Gu Chen did not hide anything and answered directly.

"Negative energy? Is there a name for this?"

Regarding this new term, Yi Chu Guanghong obviously wanted to get to the bottom of it.

"If you want to be specific, why don't we set up a time so you can talk to him in person?"

Gu Chen's understanding of negative energy is only half-baked.

Although I know what negative energy is, I only know what it is. For more specific theoretical knowledge, it is obviously necessary for Ya De Meng to explain it in person.

"Then it's better to do it today than today. I wonder if today will be a good day?"

Yi Chu Guanghong seemed a little impatient and seemed to want to know more about negative energy.

"Today... okay, come to my house in the evening and we can eat and talk."

Gu Chen knew how eager Yi Chu Guanghong was, so he invited him directly.

"Okay, advisor. I'll save my stomach for the feast you've prepared. Oh, and Xiao Xingyao, I'll also prepare a gift for her. That's all. Goodbye."

After confirming tonight's itinerary, Yi Chu Guanghong hung up the phone, and Gu Chen smiled and went to prepare the ingredients for tonight, while saying something to Ya Demeng.

That night, Ya De Meng gave Yi Chu Guanghong a theoretical knowledge class on negative energy, which opened Yi Chu Guanghong's eyes. He exclaimed that there was such magical energy in the world, which was directly related to human emotions.

At the same time, Yi Chu Guanghong also drew inferences from one example and directly asked whether Ya's fierceness existed in the positive energy corresponding to the negative energy.

After all, according to normal logic, if negative energy comes from human negative emotions, then positive emotions should also have corresponding positive energy.

Ya Demeng also responded to this with ease, but the Kingdom of Light naturally also has research on positive energy.

Gu Chen and Xingyao listened quietly to the conversation between Ya Demeng and Yi Chu Guanghong. Neither of them could get a word in about such academic matters.

However, just when Ya Demeng and Yi Chu Guanghong were having a pleasant conversation, Xingyao's expression suddenly changed, and she tugged at the hem of Gu Chen's clothes with her hand.

Feeling Xingyao's little movement, Gu Chen immediately turned his head to look at her, and then saw the serious expression on Xingyao's face.

"what happened?"

Gu Chen asked in a low voice.

"The seal I set has been broken."

Xingyao looked at the two people in front of her who were talking happily, leaned her little head towards Gu Chen, and whispered.

When Gu Chen heard this, his eyes suddenly fixed and his expression became serious. He then asked softly, "Can you sense anything unusual happening?"

Xingyao didn't say anything, just sensed it quietly for a moment, then shook her head slightly.
