Chapter 167
After tidying up the laboratory, Su Hao took a quick flight outside to make sure nothing was left unattended. Satisfied with the situation, he swiftly returned to Temple Forest City.
After circling over Temple Forest City for a while, he noticed no significant changes and decided to land at the research base.
As soon as he landed, he saw Yashan, his face full of exhaustion. .đ
Evidently, Yashan had also noticed Su Haoâs return and had hurried from the Ninth Floor to greet him.
The moment Yashan saw Su Hao, he immediately roared with joy, âBoss Wei! Youâre finally back! Weâve been eagerly waiting for your returnâŚâ
Seeing Yashan almost about to jump on him, Su Hao quickly stepped back and said, âYashan, calm down a bit. Iâve only been gone for a while. What happened to you? Youâve made yourself look like this?â
Yashan helplessly replied, âI didnât want this either, Boss Wei. After you left, it seems like things escalated quickly, and I couldnât keep up. I havenât had a good nightâs sleep in this whole year.â
Su Hao immediately understood Yashanâs situation.
While Boss Wei had been in the city, serving as Yashanâs backup, Temple Forest City faced no real threats. Yashan could handle matters confidently, knowing that Boss Wei had his back. However, with Boss Weiâs absence, this support disappeared, making Yashan anxious and cautious in managing affairs, fearing potential issues that could lead to a downfall.
In a way, it was a shift from an employee mentality to that of a business owner.
Su Hao just smiled and said, âDonât worry, Yashan. Youâll get used to it.â
Yashan quickly asked, âBoss Wei, are you planning to leave Temple Forest City again?â
Su Hao replied, âI wonât be leaving for a while. I have some tasks that require assistance from the âTemple Forest Society.ââ
Yashan breathed a sigh of relief. âThatâs great! We feel much safer when youâre here, Boss Wei.â
Su Hao headed to his laboratory, saying, âCome with me, Yashan. Letâs discuss the events in Temple Forest City over the past year. Any concerns or questions you have, letâs address them. Iâll provide guidance.â
Yashan followed and said, âSure, Boss Wei!â
Su Hao pushed open the laboratory door, revealing a clean and well-maintained space that seemed to have daily care.
Over the next three hours, Su Hao listened to Yashanâs questions and management challenges. He provided detailed answers and organized the information to create an action plan for the future.
Su Hao said, âExecute according to this plan, Yashan. Remember, the âTemple Forest Societyâ has become a formal organization now. âResultsâ always come before ârelationships.â Donât let personal connections affect your decision-making. No matter how close you are to someone, if they donât deliver results, handle it as necessary. Be tough and eliminate these detrimental practices.â
Yashan vigorously nodded and said, âYou can trust me, Boss Wei. I understand. Iâll eliminate those parasites that have been festering.â
Su Hao added, âYashan, I need your help in collecting a large number of animals with various patterns and colors, regardless of species. The more, the better; even insects will do. I need them for my upcoming experiments.â
Yashan looked around and suggested, âBoss Wei, this base might not be large enough. Should I find a new location for you? I can designate a large area in the north of the city, and it can be ready in just a month!â
Su Hao considered this and nodded, âLetâs change the location and expand the research base.â
Yashan asked, âDo you have any specific requirements for the new base?â
Su Hao replied, âIâll provide you with a rough design later, indicating my requirements. You can follow that.â
Yashan agreed, âUnderstood, Boss Wei.â
Over the next two to three days, various peculiar creatures with colorful patterns were gradually delivered to Su Hao. Many of them were entirely unfamiliar to him.
And Su Hao, once again, immersed himself in his research.
One month later, Su Hao successfully moved into the new research base, a vast area resembling the luxurious estate of a super-rich individual.
But unlike other extravagant estates owned by wealthy individuals, Su Haoâs is a well-organized laboratory and breeding facility.
The research base was roughly designed according to Su Haoâs plans, and Yashan was very considerate in adding many small details.
Naturally, Yashan and his daughter, Taini, also moved in. According to Yashanâs perspective, regardless of how the âTemple Forest Societyâ is doing, the top priority is to ensure that Boss Wei has comfortable daily meals and someone to take care of his life.
Boss Wei comes first, followed by his daughter Taini, with the âTemple Forest Societyâ taking third place. This order must never be changed!
Taini has grown into a young lady and, in front of Boss Wei, has become more reserved, no longer as unrestrained as she was in her childhood.
After Su Hao moved to the research base, Taini naturally became his caregiver.
After years of learning, Taini had become a knowledgeable young lady. Her manners and temperament were significantly different from the vast majority of the Zhu Hua People.
This change in temperament was rooted in Tainiâs way of thinking, which had fundamentally evolved from the previous âinstinctual stageâ to the âawareness of causes.â
From the perspective of her thinking level, she had surpassed most of the Zhu Hua People.
In other words, Taini had learned to think critically.
Zhu Hua People were not unintelligent, but their strong genetic makeup made their thinking highly susceptible to instinctual influences.
This brings up another dialectical principle â the difference between âIQâ and âwisdom.â
It can be said that the Zhu Hua People possessed âIQâ but lacked the cultural heritage of âwisdomâ in Su Haoâs view.
âŚ
Two months later, a type of beetle called the âRingstar Beetleâ that Yashan had sent caught Su Haoâs attention.
This beetle had a circular pattern on its forehead shell, and when Su Hao first saw it, he almost mistook it for a âsuper insectâ with a built-in runic array.
Discovering this insect filled Su Hao with joy. He immediately collected the genetic information of this beetle and sorted it for classification.
After some research, he called for Yashan, saying, âYashan, quickly send someone to help me find more of these âRingstarâ beetles. The faster, the better, and the more, the better. Other creatures can wait for now.â
If all went as planned, Su Hao would find a breakthrough in the âRunic Array Geneâ on these âRingstar Beetles.â
Yashan hadnât seen the desire in Boss Weiâs eyes for a long time, so he hurried to the âNinth Floorâ building of the âTemple Forest Society,â calling together the elite members.
Infected by Su Haoâs enthusiasm, Yashan stood on the stage, looking at the densely packed crowd below and delivered an impassioned speech, âBrothers, the great moment for our âTemple Forest Societyâ has arrived⌠The activity will last for three days. Within these three days, for every hundred you catch, you can choose one âLevel 1â runic card. For every five hundred, you can choose one âLevel 2â runic card! Catch five thousand, and youâll be directly rewarded with a one-level evolution.â
Yashanâs mobilization meeting was highly successful.
Soon, members of the âTemple Forest Societyâ collectively ventured outside the city to hunt down their targets.
In just three days, the âRingstar Beetlesâ within a radius of a hundred miles outside Temple Forest City were ruthlessly captured without leaving a single one behind.
The scene was extremely brutal!
Su Hao was overjoyed!
