189: Chapter 189 Jiang Haicheng's Leader's Anger

The scene shifts to Jianghai City.

After Yu Weiyue returned to Jianghai City, she immediately rushed to the Jianghai City government office building. The meeting room in the office building was already filled with leaders waiting for her report.

"How did it go?"

As soon as she entered the meeting room, before she could even sit down, the leaders asked anxiously.

Facing the eager and expectant gazes of the leaders, Yu Weiyue shook her head with a bitter expression and recounted everything that had happened at Divine Phoenix Mountain to them.

After hearing her report, the meeting room fell into a silence...

"Abominable! This monster actually dares to look down on us; it really thinks too highly of itself!"

"Exactly, isn't it just a slightly more powerful beast? Does it really think it's a Divine Phoenix?!"

"We must find an opportunity to hunt down this Ancient Creature monster, turn its body into a specimen, and extract its essence blood to refine Beast Blood Pills!"

Anger, like a volcanic eruption, filled everyone's hearts! Voices of indignation flooded the entire meeting room!

In the minds of most Jianghai City leaders, they had paid a huge price not long ago, utilizing massive resources and manpower to help that Ancient Divine Phoenix build a huge and towering habitat.

Now that they needed a small favor from the Ancient Divine Phoenix, it had actually refused!

Not only did it refuse, but it also insulted them with its words, and actually wanted Jianghai City to pay a reward?!

What kind of nonsense is this? Does it really think Jianghai City is a fat sheep that can be sheared whenever it wants?!

This is simply not taking them seriously at all; when have they ever been so devoid of dignity?

There were also quite a few leaders in the meeting room who were not influenced by the emotions. After hearing Yu Weiyue's report and analyzing it in their minds, they frowned.

"Judging by its behavior, this Ancient Divine Phoenix has an extremely high understanding of our human culture. It's truly incredible. If its genes weren't clearly different from ours, I would suspect that this Ancient Creature was actually a human in disguise!"

"Indeed... although I don't know why that Ancient Divine Phoenix knows so much about our human society, there is no doubt that this is a bad thing!"

"The Ancient Creature can grasp intelligence about our human society, yet we know very little about it, and the information we have is extremely superficial..."

Having finished her report, Yu Weiyue had already sat back in a corner of the meeting room. Hearing everyone discuss the issue of the Ancient Divine Phoenix mastering human information, she was stunned.

She then looked toward Mayor Lin at the head of the table.

"So, the Mayor didn't tell everyone about that matter..."

Yu Weiyue certainly knew why the Ancient Divine Phoenix was able to learn about human social intelligence.

She had known ever since she saw the Nine-tailed Little White Fox playing with her phone last time.

At the same time, she felt some confusion; Mayor Lin had solved the issue of mobile data for the SIM card, but how was the battery power solved?

More importantly, how could the Ancient Divine Phoenix and the Nine-tailed Little White Fox operate a mobile phone, obtain the unlock password, and even more so, how could they understand human language?

There were simply too many questions...

At this moment, her inner confusion was greater than anyone else's present...

However, she knew that Mayor Lin must be aware of this, so she didn't tell anyone else about it.

Just as the meeting room was filled with discussion and anger, Mayor Lin spoke up.

"That is not the point right now. If there is anyone who cannot even control this kind of emotion, I hope they will voluntarily resign!"

Although his voice was low, it carried great weight, instantly causing the noisy sounds in the meeting room to vanish without a trace. All the leaders looked toward Mayor Lin in unison, because they could hear the chill and fury in his voice!

Mayor Lin's eyes, calm as a pool of ink, swept across everyone. "I have always emphasized that the future situation... no! The current situation on Blue Star is already not optimistic!"

"The appearance of spiritual energy, the mutation and evolution of beasts, the demon primordial stone, the environmental changes of the Blue Star planet... so many major events have happened in this year alone; we do not have time to vent boring emotions!"

"We have always been clear about one goal, which is to constantly strengthen the comprehensive power of Jianghai City. The role of that Ancient Divine Phoenix—whether it's the refined Beast Blood Pills, the laser gun weapons from Russia, the retreat of the demon primordial stone monsters, or the potential future crisis of the Qinling beasts—all of this is the positive influence brought about by the Ancient Divine Phoenix."

He paused for a moment and continued, "Up until now, in our cooperation with the Ancient Divine Phoenix, Jianghai City has only paid the price of constructing a habitat, while the benefits we have gained are immense. Other cities in the Great Xia don't know how envious they are of this, yet you are all still complaining here and wanting to go look for trouble with that Ancient Divine Phoenix..."

"I hope everyone recognizes one point: we are indeed not a match for that Ancient Divine Phoenix right now, and even if we possessed the strength to eliminate the Ancient Divine Phoenix, we cannot take action against it now!"

"Its existence is more beneficial to our Jianghai City!"

Following Mayor Lin's words, which peeled away the layers to analyze the current situation so thoroughly, many leaders came to their senses.

They were senior leaders of a city; none of them were unintelligent, and everyone's eyes were filled with shock.

"So, unknowingly—has the Ancient Divine Phoenix already brought us in Jianghai City so many benefits?!"

"Hiss..."

Yu Weiyue looked at Mayor Lin at the head of the table with admiring eyes.

"As expected of Mayor Lin, to be so calm, clear-headed, and logical, and to have analyzed so much intelligence."

Mayor Lin noticed the admiring gazes cast by those around him and smiled.

He was the Mayor now; as the highest leader of the city, he had to ensure he remained clear-headed at all times, otherwise, how could he be responsible for the millions of people in Jianghai City?

He then continued to speak.

"Spirit rice is a very important resource for the future planning of our Jianghai City; we cannot give it up unless absolutely necessary..."

"Since that Ancient Divine Phoenix needs a reward, let's give it some benefits."

At this moment, someone raised a question, "But Mayor Lin, what benefits should we give the Ancient Divine Phoenix? We don't know what it wants..."

Mayor Lin seemed to have had the answer in his mind for a long time; his expression was indifferent.

"The Ancient Divine Phoenix is essentially still a creature that needs spiritual energy to evolve. spirit fruit doesn't have much benefit for a creature with such a high evolutionary level, but last time I went to Divine Phoenix Mountain, I noticed two plants on the summit that concentrate spiritual energy; surely those must be things the Ancient Divine Phoenix cares about."

"It just so happens that our Jianghai City possesses something with the effect of concentrating spiritual energy—"

The research supervisor wearing white clothes stood up and said, "Mayor Lin, are you referring to that thing..."
