C17 Joint Meetings

On the other hand, the final inspection and selection of the 10 trainees at the training base is also progressing steadily.

According to Commissioner Wang Hengjun, the instructors in the training base had given the ten students a history and humanities exam. As a result, Shi Xiaoling was of course the lowest ranked among the ten students.

And in the training exam of simulating spacetime shuttle, Shi Xiaoling did not perform well. In addition, Shi Xiaoling was still ranked last in the comprehensive evaluation of innate physical fitness, IQ and EQ. For a time, even he himself felt lacking confidence that he would be able to emerge victorious in the end.

At the joint meeting of instructors and experts at the training base, everyone was also arguing about who would be the final candidate for this year's National Lifetime Improvement Program.

According to the results of each exam and the comprehensive assessment, the two students who were ranked first and second in the final results were Zhuo En and Gu Juechen. These two were extremely intelligent geniuses, but they both had a weakness, and that was that they didn't know anything about ancient martial arts. As for Shi Xiaoling, the one with the highest cultivation in ancient martial arts, he ranked last among the ten students.

However, at the start of the joint meeting, the headquarter's chief instructor, Cai Haohua, unexpectedly proposed for Shi Xiaoling to be the plan's executor for the year. Cai Haohua's reason was that Shi Xiaoling was very adapted to all kinds of viruses from beginning to end. In terms of adaptability to viruses, he was the best among all the students.

In addition, Shi Xiaoling had great talent and potential in the field of ancient martial arts. If he successfully landed on the Bright Moon Continent two thousand years ago, with his potential, it was very possible that his martial arts cultivation would experience an explosive growth. This would allow him to gain enough power to protect himself and help him complete his mission on the Bright Moon Continent.

Although Cai Haohua was highly respected in the Ganquan base, everyone was still surprised by his suggestion.

All along, whether it was scientific research, medical treatment or ancient martial arts teaching, Cai Haohua was a strict expert. Normally, he would give a good reason for proposing something, but this time, besides appreciating Shi Xiaoling's potential in ancient martial arts, he didn't have any convincing basis.

Other than a few instructors who were familiar with ancient martial arts, only Tang Zhishu, a young professor of physiology and medicine, supported Cai Haohua's suggestion.

Commissioner Wang Hengjun said, "Old man Cai, you've seen the overall evaluation scores of these ten students. Shi Xiaoling is the lowest. In terms of adaptability towards viruses, these ten students were pretty good. Otherwise, they wouldn't have survived until now. Even if Shi Xiaoling truly has talent and potential in ancient martial arts, as you have said, so what? "

"In these eight years, six martial arts experts have died under the Ultimate Virus. According to my testing system, two of them have successfully become the 3rd and 4th of Life Destruction. They have successfully boarded the spacetime shuttle and traversed through time and space. The facts speak louder than words, and my evaluation system is clearly more accurate, isn't it? "

Cai Haohua's face was a little ugly, he tried his best to control his emotions and said, "Sir Wang, your evaluation system may be good, but I have said before that the people chosen according to your system don't have enough power to protect themselves, even if they have survived the crisis of the ultimate virus outbreak, they still wouldn't be able to convert the energy generated by it into their own. This is the same as wasting a year of producing only one dose of the ultimate virus."

"Send someone who has never cultivated in ancient martial arts to the Bright Moon Continent. Even if they are close to the Nine Elements Pass, how can he protect the victory?"

"We all know that the Bright Moon Continent two thousand years ago was not a peaceful and prosperous world. Even though the Third and the Fourth of Longevity are both outstanding talents, it's still rather difficult for them to survive and protect themselves in such an environment. So how can they complete the mission? "

"If they can't find the teamwork for the previous Number 1 Longevity Pill, then the purpose of their trip to the Bright Moon Continent would be zero."

"So, after thinking about it again and again, I still felt that I had to send a person who truly had a chance to become a powerful expert of that era. Only then, no matter if he could get the help of the geniuses from before or not, he still had the chance to complete the mission by himself. And Shi Xiaoling is one such candidate. "

After hearing Cai Haohua's generous speech, many experts in the meeting room began to discuss among themselves. What he said was not unreasonable. In the past eight years, the two people who had been chosen according to Wang Hengjun's evaluation system had survived the crisis of the ultimate virus outbreak, but that was because the two of them had never practiced any martial arts before.

Their bodies simply didn't have any true essence that condensed and flowed within them. Naturally, they would have a better adaptability towards this ultimate virus that could strongly stimulate the eruption of true essence energy. However, like this, after spending an entire year, the ultimate virus, which had successfully mastered the technology of the Star Continent, was rather wasteful.

Although the bodies of the Third and Fourth of Life would become healthier because of this, and their IQ would be further optimized, in the end, they were still people who did not know martial arts.

In the ancient Bright Moon Continent where many strong experts were present, these two executors could only assist the previous Number One and Number Two. If he wanted to rely on himself to complete the mission, there was no chance at all, because any martial arts master could easily kill them all.

Wang Hengjun was a little angry at Cai Haohua for retorting in front of everyone. All these years, no matter if it was to erase the memories of all the people involved or to force some students to vaccinate the virus, Cai Haohua had always obstructed Wang Hengjun's plans, preventing him from doing whatever he wanted in the training base.

Wang Hengjun had long wanted to eliminate Cai Haohua from this "National Lifetime Improvement Program" so that he could take control of the situation. Unfortunately, Cai Haohua had always been the most talented person in the field of scientific research in the Star Continent, and he had an unquestionable reputation in related fields. At the same time, Cai Haohua was also an elder of the "National Life Improvement Program", and his words and actions had a great influence no matter what he did.

Although Wang Hengjun was the leader of the training base, he had to show respect to Cai Haohua, the head instructor and head of the base's research institute.

After hearing Cai Haohua's generous speech, many people's face showed an expression of agreement, Wang Hengjun couldn't help but feel anxious.

He said, "Elder Cai, I understand your feelings. It is indeed a waste to use such a precious Ultimate Virus resource on a person who doesn't know anything about ancient martial arts. However, this way, he will be able to smoothly pass through the crisis and reach the Bright Moon Continent from two thousand years ago."

"Do I have to do what I did a few years ago and let the executor die on the spot from the virus?"

"Old Cai, in these ten years, we have selected a total of ten people. Eight of them are so-called martial arts geniuses, but only the first two have successfully traversed through space and time while the other six have been completely annihilated. And the two executors that were chosen according to my evaluation system have already successfully passed through time and space. Everyone should be able to calculate the difference in success rate, right? "

"And although Longevity Number One and Number Two succeeded in one fell swoop, the two of them were actually talented individuals who had already entered the selection process in the previous ten years. This is equivalent to them spending an entire twelve years to cultivate geniuses throughout the entire Star Continent."

"Strictly speaking, based on the current standard of having one genius per year, I think it's impossible to find and nurture a genius like Longevity Number One. Therefore, I feel that under the current conditions, only those selected according to my evaluation criteria are the most suitable candidates. Unless you can guarantee that Shi Xiaoling will be able to pass the test of the ultimate virus explosion just like what happened to Longevity Number One. "

Cai Haohua was speechless. What Wang Hengjun said was also the truth. Longevity Number One and Longevity Number Two were both geniuses picked from a secret ten-year plan. It was unfair to compare them to the current batch of students.

But what Cai Haohua really objected to was the current system of one-person selection a year, or even the National Life Improvement Program as a whole. With such a plan, even if the person chosen to execute it had arrived at the Bright Moon Continent two thousand years ago, it would still be almost impossible to complete the mission. Why go on with this ridiculous plan, instead?

To improve the health of the people, the government could start from other aspects. The government could make great efforts to improve the ecological environment and increase the scientific investment in biological medicine. As long as they did their best, they would naturally get a good return after a few decades. Why did he have to send people to the ancient continent from two thousand years ago to search for the legendary secrets of longevity? Is this for the sake of the people or for the personal benefit of the Führer?

The more Cai Haohua thought about it, the more depressed he became. He was a leading expert in biomedical and ancient martial arts research. If he wanted to do something for the country and the people, he would have to suffer because of this ridiculous National Life Improvement Program. However, this plan was personally initiated by the Great Leader himself. In the entire Star Continent, who could defy him?

Seeing that Cai Haohua was rendered speechless by him, Wang Hengjun was very proud of himself. After looking at all the experts and instructors, he said,

"If everyone has no other opinions, then according to the results of this comprehensive evaluation, the first Zhuo En will be the one to execute this year's plan. If he succeeded in transmigration, then he would be the fifth most successful person in the entire history of this plan, and he would probably be the fifth most powerful person in the entire history of this project, haha … "

No one made a sound. Originally, this meeting was only a formality, the only people who could make a decision were Wang Hengjun and Cai Haohua. Since Cai Haohua remained silent, then it was naturally Wang Hengjun's decision.

After so many years of selection, when would they finally be able to complete this great plan? No one had any idea, nor did they want to think too much about it. Everyone present understood that this plan, initiated by the Great Chief of State himself, could only be carried out obediently, whether it was reasonable or not.

Wang Hengjun closed the folder in front of him. Just as he was about to officially announce that Zhuo En was number five and end this meeting, the white-haired Cai Haohua suddenly stood up.

"I object! I still insist that Shi Xiaoling is the most suitable candidate! " Cai Haohua looked straight at Wang Hengjun and said in a deep voice.

The whole audience was stunned, no one thought that after a long period of silence, Cai Haohua would suddenly stand up and directly oppose Wang Hengjun. Looking at his excited expression, it seemed that a dispute was inevitable.

Wang Hengjun was also surprised. He thought that he had convinced Cai Haohua, but who knew that Cai Haohua would suddenly stand up and loudly oppose him.

Wang Hengjun smiled and said, "Elder Cai, if you have something to say, please sit down and talk about it. There's no need to get so excited." You're old enough to hurt your body. Even though Shi Xiaoling's cultivation level in ancient martial arts was not bad, but could he survive the outbreak of the ultimate virus? If he were to die on the spot, just like the students a few years ago, wasting the extremely precious Ultimate Virus, who would be responsible for the consequences? "

"I'll take care of it!"

Cai Haohua said word by word with determination.

"If Shi Xiaoling dies on the spot from the virus, I am willing to resign as the head instructor of the Ganquan Prefecture's training base and as the director of the number one research institute. I will accept any punishment given by the head of state."

The whole audience was in an uproar. No one expected Cai Haohua to suddenly say such a thing.

Wang Hengjun was surprised and happy at the same time. He was surprised that Cai Haohua insisted on going against him. He was happy that if Shi Xiaoling died in the ultimate virus outbreak, Cai Haohua would be willing to resign.

If Cai Haohua resigned, then no one in this secret training ground would dare to disobey his orders. From now on, any plans he wanted to carry out would be unimpeded, and this was exactly the situation Wang Hengjun always wanted.

Wang Hengjun laughed, "Elder Cai, I didn't hear wrong did I? You're actually willing to resign just for this year's selection? Do you really think that Shi Xiaoling can survive the outbreak of a super virus? "

Cai Haohua said with a blank face, "I am not sure. I just don't want to continue on like this."

The whole audience was silent. Seeing the tired look on Cai Haohua's face, they finally understood what he was thinking. It turned out that Cai Haohua didn't have high hopes for Shi Xiaoling, he just didn't want to continue this "National Life Improvement Program" anymore.

Many of the experts and instructors present were former students of Cai Haohua. They too did not want to continue with this plan of wasting money without seeing any hope for success, but due to the circumstances, they could only repeat the plan day after day without any passion.

Wang Hengjun's expression changed, "Elder Cai, this is not child's play. You are the head instructor of this training base and the head of the number one research institute. You are also the founding elder of our 'National Life Improvement Plan'. Other people might talk nonsense about it, but how can you …"

Cai Haohua said lightly, "I am not speaking out of anger, I just believe that Shi Xiaoling is the best candidate for this selection. If I am wrong, not only will I waste an extremely valuable amount of ultimate virus resources, I will also waste a year of hard work and effort from everyone.

Wang Hengjun coldly said, "Elder Cai, we are holding an official annual joint meeting right now. You must take responsibility for everything you say. If you insist on making Shi Xiaoling this year's planner, I can back down. However, if you fail, you will have to take full responsibility for your proposal. "

Cai Haohua smiled, looked around the crowd and said in a loud and clear voice, "Everyone, I would like to reiterate once again, I strongly recommend Shi Xiaoling as the one who will carry out this year's plan, and I believe that he is the best candidate for this plan. If he fails, I am willing to resign and accept all the appropriate punishments, no jokes will be played."

"Good!" Elder Cai had a lot of experience. Since he dared to gamble on his career and personal honor for this, he would do as Elder Cai suggested! I have no objection to this. Does anyone have any objections? " Afraid that Cai Haohua would change his mind, Wang Hengjun immediately expressed his attitude, hoping that this matter would be confirmed as soon as possible.

All the experts and instructors looked at each other in dismay. No one expected the usually calm Cai Haohua to be so impulsive. He was willing to resign and accept the punishment just for the sake of Shi Xiaoling's success.

Although everyone could understand Cai Haohua's attitude, but based on past experience, the probability of Shi Xiaoling dying from the ultimate virus outbreak was quite high, and even Cai Haohua himself said he wasn't confident. Why bother?

Now that Cai Haohua had been caught by Wang Heng Jun in public, he was afraid that this training base would become Wang Heng Jun's secret in the future.

However, things had already come to this point. Both Cai Haohua and Wang Hengjun had made their stance clear, and these experts and instructors thought that it was useless to object, so even though they were all looking at Cai Haohua with worry, no one dared to object.

Wang Hengjun thought this was an excellent opportunity to get Cai Haohua out of the Ganquan base, and before long, no one in this training base would dare to criticize his decision as a special task force officer.

In order to avoid any unnecessary trouble, Wang Hengjun stood up and said, "Now I officially announce that the final executor chosen for this year's' National Life Improvement Plan 'is - Shi Xiaoling. At ten o'clock sharp tomorrow morning, the Institute of Biological Medicine would promptly vaccinate Shi Xiaoling with the X Grade 10 Ultimate Virus and then send him through time and space via a space-time machine. "The meeting is adjourned."
