It's better to imagine a boyfriend than to attack the villain

Chapter 161 Back to World 1: Out of Area C

The elevator descended, finally reaching the bottom floor. The three men were still arguing fiercely. The team members looked at each other, shaking their heads and shrugging their shoulders in unison. After all, these three quarreling individuals were blocking the elevator entrance.

Professor Zhao, who had been waiting for a long time, finally couldn't help but clear his cough. Several people immediately stood up straight and put away their playful expressions.

Professor Zhao looked at the five people in the elevator, nodded slightly, and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's get to work."

Since the team had just taken over the mission, Professor Zhao did not have high expectations for them. He just hoped that they could observe the ruins and try to translate the mermaid culture therein.

First, they came to the display of mermaid remains.

Chao Zhuyi stood outside the cordon, staring at the mermaid skeleton in the ice crystal coffin, with an irrepressible sadness welling up in his heart.

It was one of her own kind, dying alone in this cave.

"Put on your equipment, then enter the cordon and try to keep the ruins as they are." Xiao Zhou delivered equipment to a few people and gave them instructions.

This is not his first time here. The last time he came, he just followed the professor to do research, but this time the professor asked him to lead the students to do research. The feeling is very different.

They stayed in the ruins for two weeks, basically translating the cultural symbols therein, and then wrote and published scientific research reports and papers under the guidance of Professor Zhao, earning a lot of credits.

Later, I visited many ruins and museums, but the information I could find about ancient mermaids was very little except for written symbols and remains.

However, after studying multiple documents, it was discovered that ancient mermaids had very devout beliefs and they worshipped a mermaid god named Luo.

Besides mermaids, they also conducted in-depth research on various other marine fossils. This research went beyond superficial observation and involved detailed data recording and analysis. Each investigation required a meticulously written report, organizing the data and conclusions into a systematic and written form. And this was just the beginning; the next step was the even more arduous task of writing the paper.

Writing a paper requires a high level of academic proficiency and logical thinking skills. Every argument and supporting evidence must be meticulously organized to ensure scientific and rigorous writing. More importantly, revising a paper is the most daunting process. Repeated revisions and refinements are necessary until the paper is satisfactory, a process that nearly wears out the minds of five people.

Despite this, they still persevered, and fortunately the credits they received were quite generous, which undoubtedly gave them greater motivation and made them willing to work harder.

However, they are still in the foundation-laying stage and can only conduct surveys within the developed and verified areas within Area C. This limitation prevents them from entering unexplored areas.

Although we have gained a lot, we are always stuck in the same place and it is difficult to make breakthroughs and innovate.

Chao Zhuyi sighed and was about to lament the difficulty of fulfilling the will of the gods when Xiao Minji returned triumphantly and brought her a new piece of news.

The Interstellar Alliance Environmental Protection Organization had decided to establish a special paleontology research group and invited environmentalists from all over the galaxy to participate. This news made Chao Zhuyi's eyes light up.

"The leaders of the C Alliance have discussed this and decided to send your team as representatives from Area C to participate in this operation. This way, you can leave Area C and explore more distant areas, perhaps discovering some traces of the ancient bloodline."

Chao Zhuyi raised his head and looked at Xiao Minji, his eyes flashing with expectation and worry: "Are we going to separate?"

Xiao Minji smiled softly, reached out and stroked Chao Zhuyi's hair, and comforted her, "Don't worry, each participating star region needs to send a commander to accompany the research team to ensure the safety of researchers in the region. The Marshal has approved my application, so I will go with you."

Since the "Drunk Unwilling" team had been recommended for the Star Alliance Environmental Protection Organization, their mission in Area C naturally needed to be transferred to another team. Because this task transfer involved a wealth of details and information exchange, the team members had to spend considerable time communicating and handing over the task to the other team, ensuring the new team could successfully complete the mission.

Xie Yingzhen carefully reviewed and approved their organizational transfer application. During this process, he highly praised the performance of the "Zui Bu Le Yi" team and sincerely wished them greater success in their new positions. He looked forward to their continued outstanding performance in the Star Alliance Environmental Protection Organization.

The Interstellar Alliance Headquarters is actually a special, independent sector, situated at the center of the 26 sectors, hence its nickname. It's home to numerous organizations and associations, each with its own specific branches and departments. Chao Zhuyi's paleontology research team is one of these.

For leadership personnel from each sector, the Star Alliance provides dedicated, fixed-term housing arrangements. Whenever they attend meetings at headquarters, they can move directly into these residences at no additional cost. Furthermore, if they desire to own their own property, they can purchase it using Merit Points or apply for permanent residency.

As the first commander of Area C, Xiao Minji owned his own property at the headquarters, and he took Chao Zhuyi to live in his house.

Yin Zui was not worried at all about having no place to live. Almost all of her family members were leaders, so there were several houses for him to choose from. After obtaining her family's consent, she lent several of them to three other team members.

This was Chao Zhuyi's first time out of Area C, and he was full of curiosity about the outside world. The research team had not officially started work yet, so Xiao Minji took Chao Zhuyi to stroll around the central area.

Except for the auditorium where the Interstellar Alliance holds meetings, other places in the central area are similar to ordinary star areas, with everything you need for food, clothing, housing and transportation. However, no one who can come here is simple. Even the grandma selling breakfast may be a retired big shot.

The bracelet comes with a translator, so people from all districts can communicate smoothly through it.

When they reached the gate of the Xinglian Charity Organization, Xiao Minji suddenly paused. He turned around and said to Chao Zhuyi, "I saw an acquaintance. I went over to say hello."

"Okay." Chao Zhuyi nodded obediently. She stood there quietly, watching Xiao Minji walk towards the dejected silver-haired young man.

From a distance, Chao Zhuyi looked at the man's attire curiously and found that the commander's star uniform he was wearing was different from the style he was familiar with, and it looked washed out and worn out. Perhaps he was from a smaller star region.

"Good day, Commander Bai Shi." Xiao Minji greeted in a friendly manner.

The silver-haired young man raised his head, smiled, and replied, "Good day, Commander Xiao."

Xiao Minji looked at the crumpled paper in his hand and couldn't help but say, "The charity organization in Area C treats all interstellar citizens equally. You can apply for assistance there. We will do our best to support Area H."

Bai Ya gave him a grateful look and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you!" He didn't refuse this kindness, nor could he. District C had always been the friendliest and most tolerant region in the galaxy, providing help and support to residents of other districts.

Thinking about being rejected by the Star Alliance again today, Bai Ya felt helpless. But now he had a new option. He decided to try going to Area C. Perhaps there, they could get more attention and assistance.

Xiao Minji felt more at ease when he saw Bai Shi was willing to follow his advice. He was worried that Bai Shi would keep hitting a wall here without changing his strategy.

Although the Star Alliance Charity Organization claims to be open to the entire galaxy, in reality, the interests of many frontier districts are involved. As the largest slum in the galaxy, District H has a lowly status. Bai Shi has almost no say here and is not even qualified to enter the auditorium.

Bai Shi Youlunding is the newly appointed commander of Zone H. Xiao Minji has a good impression of him, but he is a little too naive in this central area where the law of the jungle prevails. Thinking of the situation in Zone H, Xiao Minji can only wish him all the best.
