Chapter 170: A Leader’s Presence

Chapter 170 – A Leader’s Presence

Five days went by rapidly .

At 8 o’clock on Saturday morning, to verify whether the various governments were behaving themselves, Chen Yu had teleported to the inside of the Type-K Beast Armor . As he scanned the outside through the glass window, he noticed the figures of many scientific researchers .

“Let’s see if we can find someone to make an example of…”

Chen Yu put on his protective suit’s helmet and walked out of the control room, fully armed .

After walking out of the machine, Chen Yu powered up the plasma engine and took to the skies . And after scanning the area below him, he nodded in satisfaction .

There was no additional personnel found within two kilometers of the metal T-rex . Meanwhile, stationed outside the two-kilometer radius were the troops dispatched by the world’s various governments . These soldiers prevented any unrelated personnel from entering the restricted area .

“It seems my orders have quite the power . ”

Looking at the well-organized scene, Chen Yu suddenly recalled the words the Transdimensional Marketing Company’s staff member once told him: No matter the space-time or era, strength would always be the most stable form of support . As the number of transdimensional products he revealed to the public increased, so would his authority and deterrence . Eventually, the others would be the ones who need to be afraid .

As he observed 30 of the world’s most powerful governments obediently following the rules he set, Chen Yu could not help but feel a refreshing feeling .

“I can feel it now . ”

After giving his waist a comfortable stretch, Chen Yu descended toward the area where China’s three underground shelters were located at .

When the researchers working above ground saw Chen Yu, they could not help but be startled . Hurriedly, they picked up their communicators and contacted their respective superiors .

Ignoring the researchers, Chen Yu descended the stairs of one of the shelters and came across a glass wall . To be precise, a glass room had been erected inside the underground shelter .

Meanwhile, inside the shelter were strange equipment of varying sizes . Aside from a few microscopes, Chen Yu couldn’t recognize any of the other equipment .

Leaning against the glass wall and looking around, Chen Yu counted a total of five researchers wearing disinfection suits inside the room .

Knock, knock, knock .

Chen Yu knocked on the glass .

Hearing the noise, the five researchers simultaneously raised their heads . And upon seeing Chen Yu, their mouths immediately fell wide open in shock .

Knock, knock!

Tapping the glass again, Chen Yu shouted, “Hey, can I go in?”

One of the researchers hurriedly ran forward and pulled open a glass door . With a trembling voice, he said, “Y-You’re…K-King…”

“Mr . King . ”

“Yes, yes! Mr . King, right?”

“That’s me,” Chen Yu said as he pointed at his helmet . “Can I go in and have a look? Do I need to be disinfected?”

“N-No need! P-Please, come in . ”

Under the researchers’ respectful guidance, Chen Yu entered the glass room . Looking around, he asked, “Are you guys the only ones using this shelter?”

“There are 10 of us . The other s-six went next door to assist in an experiment,” the man following behind Chen Yu explained while anxiously contacting his superiors and team leader .

Taking a seat on a chair, Chen Yu picked up a portable microscope and asked, “It’s been a few days now . How is your research coming along? Have you gotten any results yet?”

“T-The research is still ongoing . ”

“I see that you’ve fully equipped the room already . Are the other shelters in a similar state?”

“Yes,” the male researcher answered as he wiped the sweat off his forehead . He felt as if he was currently being subjected to an inspection by his superior…

“Where do you guys sleep at?”

“W-We set up tents outside…”

After the two’s conversation continued for a short while, several elderly researchers ran into the shelter with quivering bodies . They then struggled with each other to shake hands with Chen Yu .

“G-Greetings, greetings!”

“Greetings, Mr . K-King . ”

“Greetings, I am the person in charge of the research team…”

Extending both hands, Chen Yu shook hands with the elderly researchers one after another . He then calmly said, “Sit . Everyone, please take a seat . ”

“Uh…”

However, when the researchers looked around, they found no available chairs .

“That’s unnecessary . We’re fine standing . ”

Hearing this, Chen Yu also stood up and waved his hand, saying, “Everyone here is a pillar of the country . If you remain standing, how can a youngster like myself remain seated?”

“You’re too polite .

“That’s right . You’re too polite . ”

Patting his chest, Chen Yu sincerely said, “I did not come here intending to interrupt your urgent research . However, I simply cannot rest assured . I worried that my fellow countrymen would suffer at the hands of the other nations . Hence, I wish to ask everyone here: has anyone mistreated you?”

“None!” an old man with a white beard replied, his eyes moistening . He then excitedly grabbed one of Chen Yu’s hands and said, “I have spent half my life engaging in scientific research abroad, yet I have never been able to hold my head as high as I can today! Nobody has mistreated us!”

“That’s good, then . ” Chen Yu patted the old man’s hands . “Everyone’s family here, so I’ll get straight to the point . ”

“Please go on . ”

“Cough, cough . ” Clearing his throat, Chen Yu spoke in a sad tone, “Truthfully, I wanted to save every underground shelter for our own use . However, the world is currently undergoing globalization . We cannot be too prejudiced in our actions . I feel despondent about this situation . ”

“Say no more . ” Another elderly researcher with reddened eyes said, “We understand the big picture . Your assignment is correct . ”

“Thank you for understanding, everyone . ” Chen Yu nodded . Sighing, he continued, “I also heard that you are living in tents… Everyone, you’ve suffered . ”

“Not at all . This is what we should do . ”

“That’s right . We don’t feel wronged . In fact, we feel blessed . ”

“Mr . King! You are our pride!”

Hearing the welcoming cheers coming from all around him, Chen Yu made a 90-degree bow and said, “Thank you for your hard work . You are my pride!”

Several of the young female researchers standing on the periphery of the crowd felt empathetic to Chen Yu’s words, and they started clapping excitedly .

For a time, dense positive energy and patriotism filled the room .

While being surrounded by his enthusiastic compatriots, Chen Yu arrived at one of Japan’s underground shelters . Turning around, he said, “Everyone, go back . I’ll be checking the other countries to see if they’ve made any violations . ”

After saying so, he walked straight into the basement .

Meanwhile, the person in charge of the Japanese research team, who had long since been waiting for Chen Yu’s arrival, quickly stepped forward and held Chen Yu’s hands . “Greetings! Greetings! It is a great honor to see you!”

“No need to be too polite,” Chen Yu said while nodding in a friendly manner . After entering the glass room, Chen Yu sighed and sincerely said, “My friend, I am here this time to talk to you about the allocation of the shelters . Do you feel that giving you just two shelters is too few?”

“No, no!” The lead researcher hurriedly shook his head . “It’s plenty! Two is not at all few!”

“Truth be told, I don’t have a choice in this . ” Holding the lead researcher’s hand and lightly patting it, Chen Yu said, “With so many countries, there simply aren’t enough shelters to go around . Initially, I planned to give four to Japan, but… Oh, it’s hard for me to say it…”

“It is already a great gift for you to allocate two to us!” the lead researcher said excitedly .

“Thank you for your hard work . If there are other benefits available in the future, Japan will definitely get a share . ”

Five minutes later .

Chen Yu appeared in Germany’s shelter . After shaking hands with the person in charge, he sincerely said, “I have always respected your country . Originally, I wanted to give you an additional spot, but regretfully, the conditions did not allow for it…”

Ten minutes later .

Appearing inside Korea’s shelter, Chen Yu shook hands, sighed, and sincerely said, “Korea is a land of gold, yet I have to trouble you to stay in a single shelter . I feel indignant for you . Thank you for your hard work…”

…

At 8:55 A . M . , under the friendly, cordial, numbing, and adoring gazes of many researchers, Chen Yu flew into the sky and belched in content .

“Being a leader truly is wonderful…”

After flying back into the control room, Chen Yu teleported to a familiar location in Thailand—Si Racha .

When he stepped through the Interstellar Portal, he immediately saw Little Peach, who was holding onto a white box . Impatiently, Little Peach said, “Mr . Chen, you’re finally back . It’s almost nine o’clock! The livestream will be late!”

“We’ll make it . ” Slowly raising his wrist and taking a look at the time, Chen Yu gracefully said, “You must be calm as a leader . The nobler a person is, the later they will show up . ”

Little Peach: “…”
