After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 99 Eat carrots and worry less

President Lucas's words sounded like a joke, but to others they took on a deeper meaning, prompting them to think more deeply.

"President, you're too kind. The Animal Protection Association can't do without you."

Lucas's ability to rise from an ordinary zookeeper to the president of the Interstellar Animal Protection Association speaks volumes about his capabilities.

"Yes, if you're going to retire soon, shouldn't we also leave as soon as possible?"

As president, Lucas's contributions are evident to all. He will participate in any animal rescue operation he can.

Lucas has brought several thousand animals back to life, if not tens of thousands.

Moreover, Lucas only intervenes when bystanders are helpless and the animals have extremely low will to survive.

"Haha, you guys are really flattering me. The world will keep turning without me."

Lucas never thought he was that important; he just did his best to do what he wanted to do.

However, he has indeed reached the age where he should retire, and now he no longer has enough energy to take good care of the animals.

He simply hasn't found a suitable successor, so he's been clinging to this position despite his failing health. Now, however, he seems to have seen a glimmer of hope.

"You can't say that. President, you have played a vital role in animal rescue. Many young people regard you as their idol, and I'm sure Ms. Liang He feels the same way, right?"

The conversation suddenly turned to Liang He, and she looked up at the person, raising her eyebrows slightly.

Liang He, who was very sensitive to malice, instinctively felt that there was a trap in his words. If she went along with what he said, she would be exposed in the future for not knowing anything about Chairman Lucas. She would probably be accused of being hypocritical and deliberately flattering him.

However, if she were to say frankly that Chairman Lucas is not her idol, it might worsen Chairman Lucas's impression of her.

Caught in a dilemma, Liang He was determined not to let him have his way.

"I'm sorry, I've always lived on Earth and don't know much about the outside world, but I believe that both the zookeepers and the presidents essentially want the animals to be able to survive better in nature."

In Liang He's view, positions are just different divisions of labor, and there is no real hierarchy of rank or status.

"Survival of the fittest is a natural law, but once there is human intervention, it can easily lead to the extinction of a species. This is why animal protection is necessary."

"well said!"

After hearing Liang He's words, President Lucas clapped excitedly. Seeing his support, even if others had different opinions, they didn't say anything and could only clap along.

The person who initially set a trap for Liang He looked even worse, his face turning as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Young people like Liang He are the hope for the future of animals!"

President Lucas's high praise made some people present jump, their expressions constantly changing, but their eyes were all fixed on Liang He.

Unfortunately, Liang He remained unmoved and didn't care about their thoughts at all.

"I'm just an ordinary zookeeper, Chairman, you flatter me."

Liang He only wants to be with furry creatures because she dislikes complicated and ineffective social interactions.

Talking to a group of people with complicated thoughts is really too taxing on your brain cells.

"President, I'm hungry. I'm going to eat first. Do you need me to bring Coco some for you?"

Liang He felt that the little velvet monkey didn't really like being with this group of people either.

Faced with Liang He's bluntness, some people present were curious, some admired, some disdained, and some disgusted, but no one dared to actually criticize her. After all, they weren't stupid; they all knew more or less about the rumors surrounding Liang He.

"Haha, it's my fault. I got carried away chatting and made everyone miss lunch."

President Lucas admires Liang He's personality. Being able to be herself in today's society further demonstrates Liang He's strength and confidence, which is something that those in high positions must possess.

"Since Coco likes you, why don't you play with it a little longer? Where's Cyril? I haven't seen him."

“Cyril is a large beast and isn’t allowed to participate in the training sessions, so Holder is taking him with him.”

It was thought that only Liang He could control the Platinum Lion, but unexpectedly, the evolved beastmen also extended their affection to Liang He and obediently followed her arrangements, allowing others to approach.

President Lucas looked at Liang He with increasing satisfaction. Despite possessing great abilities, she was not arrogant about them at all, and even treated them with a calm attitude, which was truly rare.

Little did he know that Liang He didn't take it to heart at all. She felt that she was just petting the furry creatures and taking care of them, which was simply the zookeeper's duty.

"Cyril? Is that the platinum lion?"

Upon hearing the name Cyril, and given that it was brought by Liang He, everyone naturally thought of the Crown Prince of the Empire, an orc in the process of evolution.

So, she actually managed to bring the Crown Prince of the Empire along to the training and exchange meeting?!
"Wasn't he in a protected area on Tianyao Star? How could you bring him out?!"

Cyril is not only an SSS-class orc, but also the future king of the empire. If something goes wrong and damages the relationship between the empire and the federation, then there will be big trouble!

Liang He, not quite understanding why they were so excited, frowned slightly and, out of respect for Chairman Lucas, offered an explanation.

“Cyril secretly followed me onto the starship. I have already reported this to the protected area and the Empire. They all agree that it is more appropriate for me to take Cyril with me.”

So stop worrying about things that don't concern you, just mind your own business!
Liang He was too lazy to deal with it anymore. After saying goodbye to Chairman Lucas, she turned around and quickly left the VIP room, ignoring all calls.

Seeing this, some people became even more dissatisfied.

"President, Liang He is arrogant and spoiled, it's really..."

"What is she? Hmph, I think she's a good person. She has a pure heart and only cares about the animals."

President Lucas glanced around meaningfully, silently noting their varied expressions, before leaving the VIP room as well.

As for Liang He, who was annoyed by the questions, she didn't want to go to the banquet hall anymore. She sent a message to Holder to confirm that they were in the restaurant, and then took the little monkey there.

"I never expected that the old gentleman we met on the starship would be Chairman Lucas."

After listening to Liang He's complaints, Holder was quite surprised, but he felt that this was a good thing for Liang He. With President Lucas's favor, her future might be even brighter.

"No matter who he is, I still prefer having meals and chatting with the old gentleman from back then."

Liang He pouted in annoyance. After eating and drinking her fill, she started petting the furry creature.

Having not seen Liang He all morning, the platinum lion was eager to get close to her, especially after seeing the little fluffy monkey, which made its sense of crisis rise rapidly.

"Woohoo~"

The platinum lion lay down at Liang He's feet, rolling around and acting cute.

Even when Liang He touched his most vulnerable belly, he deliberately spread his limbs wide, as if afraid that Liang He wouldn't have enough fun touching it, and vowed to compete with the little fluffy monkey to see who was better.

"Oh no! Oh no! A beast has broken into the hotel..."
