...

After one night.

The trending list was filled with topics about #Monster Hunting#.

And the popularity was continuing to climb.

In the morning, at the Xingwu University President's office.

Tang Baichuan sat before his desk, looking at the computer screen.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

The computer was playing a Monster Hunting video.

It was the video of Wei Nan, Zhou Qi, Sun Tao, and Shen Mengyi.

The four of them joined forces to hunt two Yao Beasts and one strange beast.

Many onlookers were filming with their phones.

On the ground lay a few members of the Public Security Bureau, all with expressions of panic.

With their tacit cooperation, they slew three beasts in a row, winning thunderous applause.

From the bracelets on their wrists, one could tell they were students from Xingwu University.

"President, this matter has already fermented on the internet!"

"Various media outlets are also scrambling to report on this!"

"Just a moment ago, the headquarters of the Monster Hunting Bureau called..."

Director Qiao sat opposite him, his expression somewhat grave.

Once he finished speaking, Tang Baichuan nodded with a smile: "Mm, I saw it!"

"Then what should we do now? Public opinion has already caused a considerable impact!"

"The headquarters' meaning is... they are worried that this matter will trigger panic in various cities, and it will be difficult to clean up the mess later!"

After Director Qiao finished speaking.

Tang Baichuan looked up at him and said with a smile: "Old Qiao, I find that the older you get, the more timid you become?"

"This time, our Xingwu University making it to the trending list is actually a good thing!"

"Let me ask you, where does panic come from?"

Tang Baichuan said with a chuckle.

Director Qiao frowned: "From inner fear?"

"Nonsense, of course it comes from inner fear, but fear mainly comes from external pressure and the generation of rumors!"

"Let me put it this way, take the recent situation of Yao Beast invasions in various cities!"

"A Yao Beast appears in the city and kills people in a residential area!"

"One person expands this fear ten, a hundred times and spreads it!"

"It is bound to cause considerable panic and make people feel afraid!"

"Take the video from last night, for example!"

"Two Yao Beasts and one strange beast killing people in a downtown area!"

"However, why didn't it cause fear to spread? It was because it was controlled in time, and the Yao Beasts were slain on the spot!"

"This brought them an unprecedented sense of security and trust!"

"Therefore, the rumors were self-defeating, and the fear did not spread!"

"I've said this much, do you understand now?"

After Tang Baichuan finished speaking.

Old Qiao frowned and thought for a moment.

Suddenly, he looked up at Tang Baichuan.

"President, you don't mean to..."

Tang Baichuan smiled and nodded: "If you want to eliminate fear, just thinking about suppressing public opinion is actually counterproductive. Now, the impact and public opinion have already been created!"

"Many eyes are not just fixed on the Monster Hunting Bureau, the Martial Suppression Bureau, but also on our Xingwu University!"

"Old Qiao, don't you think this time is actually the best opportunity to train the students?"

"Let them choose for themselves whether they are willing to go out and engage in Monster Hunting!"

"This is a form of training for them, a form of publicity for the school, and it can also eliminate the panic in people's hearts, making public opinion more favorable to our university!"

"Three birds with one stone, why not do it?"

After these words, Director Qiao looked deeply at Tang Baichuan.

Confirming that he was not joking, he nodded and said: "Alright, I will go arrange this!"

"Mm, remind them that they are not allowed to go out Monster Hunting alone. They must ensure their own safety, go out in teams to hunt Yao Beasts. Also, it is not forced, it is voluntary!"

"The school will fully support students who are willing to form teams to go out Monster Hunting. Even if they are unwilling to go out, the school will not target them. Send the message out in written form and post it on the bulletin board!"

"Xingwu University should set an example. Our students take Monster Hunting as their foundation. Now that the opportunity has come, how can we all just hide in the university and do nothing?"

Director Qiao nodded: "Alright, I understand, I will go arrange it now!"

After speaking, he stood up and walked outside.

Tang Baichuan sat in his chair, a faint smile appearing on his face.

Just as he was feeling happy about his wisdom, suddenly, a phone call came in.

He picked up the phone and took a look, his expression changing abruptly.

I saw the caller ID, which clearly read 'Beloved Wife Xiaoying'.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and organized his language.

A few seconds later, he answered the phone.

"Hello? Dear, why did you..."

"Tang Baichuan, who are you calling dear?"

...

In the dormitory.

Lin Yi sat on his bed, just about to enter the Domain of the [Galaxy Qi Transformation Technique].

He wanted to find the Daoist and communicate face-to-face about Dao techniques.

To help himself break through the shackles as soon as possible and step into the Star Quenching Realm.

His sister's call came in.

Apparently, she also discovered what happened last night through the video.

However, what surprised Lin Yi was that his sister did not show any signs of Life Qi, nor did she rage.

Instead, she just asked if Lin Yi had been injured.

He comforted her: "Sister, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. Even if I really get hurt, you are still there..."

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, don't talk nonsense, what kind of injury?"

"Xiaoyi, you are an adult now. Sometimes, for the decisions you make, sister won't stop you, and I don't want to interfere!"

"I respect your choice. Grandfather also said the same thing, let you walk boldly. You must believe that the things you do and the path you choose are correct!"

"Sister won't stop you from Monster Hunting, I only have one condition, and that is to protect your own safety!"

"If you can't beat them, run. That's not shameful!"

"Don't try to be brave in everything. You must know how to cherish your life. Only being alive is important, do you understand?"

Tang Qinru said meaningfully.

Lin Yi nodded: "Sister, I remember!"

"It's good that you remember. On the Acquired day, Xi'er will send you some composite potion!"

"I've been a bit busy lately, and I haven't been able to get away!"

"After I finish this busy period, I'll come find you for a meal!"

"Alright, come find me after you're done. I also collected some Yao Beast Cores, I'll give them to you while I'm at it!"

"Yao Beast Cores? How many stars are the Yao Beast Cores?"
