Ninth class citizen

Chapter 219: Ten-fold tonic pill

"That's right." Shen Yao nodded: "If your investigation results are true and correct, then this is the only explanation."

"Impossible." Fei Ren's face was full of disbelief. "Space-related extraordinary people are very rare. Regardless of their background, each of them is a key target of training by the Federation. Why would they go along with those rats?"

"Instead of pondering the reasons, it is better to think about how to strengthen the security work in the future." Shen Yao said, pushing his gold-rimmed glasses on his nose:
"They dared to cause trouble when so many distinguished guests from higher education institutions were gathered together, and acted so ostentatiously. They must have some confidence that we are unaware of."

"You're right!" Fei Ren said, "I've applied to mobilize the in-planet fleet to garrison, and deployed star-track death ray cannons. If those rats dare to show up, they will be killed without a trace!"

"I have a question." Bai Hao, who had been thinking, asked, "Team Leader Fei, Boss, why don't we apply to the central intelligent computer to directly locate the three rats?"

The central intelligent brain connects the personal intelligent brains and star network accounts of all federal citizens, and can retrieve each person's real-time information and records of past behavior at any time.

Even if the other party deliberately avoids connecting to the personal intelligent brain, it cannot escape the satellites hanging high above every star orbit and the surveillance network densely spread throughout the federation.

Strictly speaking, there is no life within the Federation that is truly free and unconstrained.

Therefore, as long as there is the cooperation of the central intelligent brain, those equality fighters will have nowhere to hide.

Shen Yao and Fei Ren looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Bosen patted Bai Hao on the shoulder and said, "You were injured right after you completed the induction training, so you don't know."

"The Central Intelligence Brain never approves such applications, otherwise there wouldn't be so many unsolved cases every year. Whether it's economic, criminal cases or endangering public safety, they are all trivial matters to it. Unless it is a major crisis related to the survival of the entire federation, it will never disclose any personal privacy - even if they are really unforgivable."

"It's meaningless to discuss this now." Fei Ren said impatiently, "A few escaped mice won't affect the overall situation. The most urgent task is to immediately formulate the next countermeasures - there is not much time left before the opening ceremony starts."

Two hours later, in the open-air venue covering tens of thousands of square meters in the central arena.

The distinguished guests sat high on the rostrum, and all the stands were filled with representatives from all walks of life on the planet of Hilo and reporters.

Yu Xingchang personally presided over the opening ceremony. After a brief but humorous speech, the entire central arena was shrouded in holographic images, and countless people enjoyed a magnificent fireworks show.

After that, the incredibly brief opening ceremony ended.

All the large-scale performances that had been rehearsed for a long time were canceled at the last minute, which disappointed the reporters who had received the news in advance and set up various high-end holographic recording equipment.

But the representatives of higher education institutions present did not have any objection.

They didn't really care about a special performance by a ninth-magnitude star, and they quite appreciated Yu Xingchang's simple and pragmatic style.

Not only the opening ceremony but also the entire event schedule has been significantly reduced.

The original plan was to hold the competition in three stages over 15 days, with individual, all-around and team events being held in stages. But the new schedule only left seven days, less than half the time of the previous schedule.

In response to this, Chairman Wei gave the audience the reason that it was necessary to improve efficiency and save the guests' time as much as possible.

But in fact, some news has already leaked out and cannot be concealed at all.

Of course, for the safety of the guests from higher education institutions, Yu Xingchang did not dare to hide the truth from them.

"The shortened competition is exactly what I want." He Yan, a representative from the Federation Xingwu University, disagreed: "Otherwise I would also be prepared to leave early. The school affairs are busy recently, and I can't leave for too long - but there is no need to be so nervous, as if we are facing a great enemy. With us here, how can they plot against us?" Yu Xingzhang gathered his strength: "With Mr. He's strength, it is naturally no problem to deal with a few ground rats, but I am afraid that they will take advantage of some loopholes."

"I understand Captain Yu." Dominic smiled and said, "Not everyone has the strength of a seventh-level star mecha warrior. For example, I am powerless. If a warrior approaches me quietly, I will be tricked in a moment."

"If you don't mind, we can send someone to provide close protection for you." Fei Ren quickly stated.

As a senior adviser of the Federal Secret Service, Mr. Dominic is his and Shen Yaogao's superior by many levels, so his safety must be protected with all efforts.

Ms. Huayin blinked and said, "Mr. Dominic is really modest. Those petty thieves would probably be drowned in nightmares before they even get close to you. Why would they need personal protection?"

"Hehe." Mr. Dominic laughed and said to Fei Ren and Shen Yao in a gentle voice: "It's just a joke. You are under a lot of pressure now. You don't need to waste manpower on me. It's that person."

He looked at the blonde lady sitting next to He Yan, who was holding hands and talking with Melissa:

"Make sure to take good care of it and not make any mistakes."

Among all the guests present, the representative from the Federal Genetic Optimization Institute has the highest status.

The Federal Genetic Optimization Academy holds an exclusive position among the five top universities in the Federation. That lady is the vice-president in charge of academic affairs, a seventh-level genetic optimizer, a second-class citizen, Ms. Patricia Campbell, and Melissa's biological aunt.

"Of course." Yu Xingchang, Fei Ren and Shen Yao bowed in response.

Ms. Patricia has a pair of lake green eyes similar to Melissa's, as clear as a quiet lake in summer, and at a glance you will blend into the deep water color.

"No need to be so troublesome." She patted Melissa's hand and said, "Let's get started quickly. Don't let the children below wait anxiously."

The new competition schedule stipulated that the individual competition and the all-around competition would be held at the same venue, which came as a surprise to all the competitors.

Sensitive people like Haydn have already noticed the danger and crisis hidden behind the shortened opening ceremony.

"Can you sense how many interstellar ships are hovering above the clouds?" Haydn asked.

After using the gene optimizer, his mental strength was significantly enhanced. He could vaguely sense the huge monsters hiding above the clouds, but he couldn't see them clearly.

"Ten." Nan Rong said affirmatively: "It should be all the warships of the nearby opposition forces - it seems that the organizing committee really attaches great importance to security work."

"It's just a league, why would they deploy interplanetary ships, and so many of them?" Qian Duoduo looked up.

Unfortunately, he did not have much mental strength and could not detect the shadow of the warship through the clouds. He only felt that the sky was getting darker.

"Don't disturb Nan Rong and Haydn." President Roland pulled him back and said, "The first match this morning is about genetic optimization."

"I'm not the president. I haven't seen you for just one night. How come your strength has become so strong?" Qian Duoduo looked suspicious.

"Really? Hehe." President Roland and several other members all laughed.

Qian Duoduo was completely confused by their laughter.

But he soon discovered that everyone in the school team today, including his mecha partner, had rosy faces and looked radiant, as if they had collectively taken a customized version of the tonic pill.
