Hand over Godzilla, and countries will beg me to eat nuclear waste.

East China Sea defense line, command center.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Yu couldn't help but stretch.

The Godzilla (lizard) on my shoulder opened its eyes and hissed, as if asking: Whose call is this?

"Zhiruo's."

Luo Yu smiled and patted its head. "She said she wanted to bring you some snacks."

Hiss!!

The little lizard was immediately delighted, its tail swishing excitedly back and forth.

"Alright, alright, calm down."

Luo Yu stood up and said with a smile, "Let's go eat first. General Zhan Kuang said he's going to prepare a victory celebration banquet for us."

Stepping out of the lounge,

Luo Yu discovered that the corridor was full of soldiers.

When he came out, everyone saluted in unison.

"Greetings, Major Luo Yu!"

"Well……"

Luo Yu felt a little awkward. "Hello everyone."

"Major, could you sign your name for us?" a young soldier asked, mustering his courage.

"A signature?" Luo Yu was taken aback.

"Yes, you're a hero of our Dragon Kingdom now!" another soldier exclaimed excitedly. "We all want your autograph!"

"this……"

Before Luo Yu could react, he was surrounded by a group of soldiers.

"Major, sign it on my uniform!"

"Major, I have a notebook here!"

"Major, may I take a picture with you?"

"Major, may I touch Godzilla?"

Luo Yu was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by the scene.

The Godzilla on the shoulder looked completely bewildered, its vertical pupils clearly saying: What's wrong with these humans?

"Make way! Make way!"

The warrior's voice came from the end of the corridor.

The soldiers immediately made way for them.

Zhan Kuang strode over, saw Luo Yu surrounded, and couldn't help but laugh.

"You're a big star now, you get surrounded by people wherever you go."

"General, please don't make fun of me."

"Let's go, the victory celebration is ready." Zhan Kuang patted Luo Yu on the shoulder and said, "By the way, we've received orders from above."

"What orders?"

"From today onwards, you are officially promoted to lieutenant colonel." Zhan Kuang couldn't help but exclaim, "An eighteen-year-old lieutenant colonel, the first in the history of the Dragon Kingdom."

"It got promoted again?"

Luo Yu blinked,

It took less than a month for a lieutenant to become a major, and only two days for a major to become a lieutenant colonel?

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel."

Zhan Kuang took a deep breath and added, "Originally, the higher-ups wanted to give you the rank of colonel directly, but considering your young age, they were afraid you wouldn't be able to handle the situation, so they gave you the rank of lieutenant colonel first. Once you've made a few more merits, the rank of colonel will be secure."

"..."

Luo Yu's lips twitched slightly.

Unable to control the situation?

He's now an S-class Awakened One, and he has Godzilla as a powerful weapon. Who would dare to disobey him?

But then again,

An eighteen-year-old lieutenant colonel—this is indeed a first in the history of the Chinese military.

"Let's go, the victory celebration banquet is ready."

Zhan Kuang turned and walked towards the cafeteria, with Luo Yu following behind.

The Godzilla (lizard) on my shoulder yawned, its tail swishing lazily back and forth.

As soon as the two arrived at the canteen entrance, they saw that it was already full of people. Almost all the senior officers of the East China Sea defense line were there, as well as several generals that Luo Yu did not recognize.

"Lieutenant Colonel Luo Yu!"

Upon seeing Luo Yu enter, everyone stood up and saluted in unison.

"Hello everyone."

Luo Yu returned the greeting somewhat awkwardly.

This situation made him, a "newcomer," feel a little uncomfortable.

"Sit down, everyone, sit down."

Zhan Kuang gestured for everyone to sit down, then pulled Luo Yu to sit in the main seat.

"Today's meal is to celebrate Lieutenant Colonel Luo Yu's victory." Zhan Kuang raised his glass, looked around, and said in a loud voice, "He killed the Tier 3 Abyss Behemoth 'Tidal Fang' in five seconds, bringing glory to our Dragon Kingdom and making a contribution to the East China Sea defense line!"

"Come on, everyone, let's raise a toast to Lieutenant Colonel Luo Yu!"

"Respectfully addressed to Lieutenant Colonel Luo Yu!"

Everyone raised their glasses.

Luo Yu quickly stood up and picked up the juice in front of him.

"Generals, officers, I only did what I should do, and I dare not accept your toast."

"Hahaha!"

Zhan Kuang laughed loudly, "You're quite modest, kid, but you still have to show respect. Come on, bottoms up!"

"Cheers!"

Everyone drank it all in one gulp.

The atmosphere instantly became lively.

After Luo Yu sat down, Zhan Kuang put a large piece of braised pork on his plate.

"Eat more. You're the precious darling of our Dragon Kingdom now. You can't go hungry."

"Thank you, General."

Luo Yu accepted it with a smile.

The Godzilla on the shoulder saw the braised pork and its eyes lit up. It scratched at Luo Yu's collar with its little paws and made a hissing sound.

"Okay, okay, here, have some."

Luo Yu picked up a small piece of meat and held it to Godzilla's mouth.

The little lizard snatched it in its mouth and chewed it contentedly.

This scene was witnessed by everyone present.

A young major couldn't help but whisper to his colleague, "That little lizard... was it really that monster that was over ninety meters tall from earlier?"

"Yes, I saw it grow bigger with my own eyes."

"This is incredible..."

"Yeah, who would have thought that such a cute little thing could kill a third-tier behemoth in an instant?"

The crowd whispered among themselves.

Luo Yu ate a few bites of food and suddenly noticed that Zhan Kuang's expression was a little off.

"General, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Zhan Kuang waved his hand, picked up his wine glass, and took a sip.

Luo Yu could tell he had something on his mind, but didn't ask any further questions.

The celebration banquet lasted for more than an hour.

period,

Many officers came over to offer toasts, and Luo Yu responded to each one.

After the banquet ended, Zhan Kuang called Luo Yu to the conference room in the command center.

"sit."

The warrior pointed to the chair.

Luo Yu sat down, and Godzilla dozed off on his shoulder.

"Luo Yu, there's something I need to tell you."

The warrior's expression turned serious.

"What is it?"

Regarding the handling of nuclear waste from other countries…

Zhan Kuang paused, then lowered his voice: "This is a bit troublesome."

Luo Yu raised an eyebrow, asking curiously, "How exactly is it troublesome?"

That's right.

Zhan Kuang sighed and began to explain: "After you killed Tide Fang, the Dragon Kingdom officially announced your identity and also issued a statement—we can help other countries deal with nuclear waste."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Luo Yu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's a good thing, but the problem lies in the conditions."

Zhan Kuang rubbed his temples and said, "Our conditions are that countries need to line up in order, and... we will charge 100,000 Dragon Coins per ton of nuclear waste."

"100,000 dragon coins per ton?"

Luo Yu did the math and realized that the price wasn't actually that expensive.

It's important to understand that the cost of handling nuclear waste is already very high, and we also have to consider issues such as environmental pollution and personnel safety.

One hundred thousand dragon coins per ton is already a very reasonable price.

"Yes, 100,000 Dragon Coins per ton."

The War Maniac's face showed anger: "But the problem is that those countries won't stand for it."

"You're quitting?"

Luo Yu was a little confused.

Are there any countries that won't handle nuclear waste?

"right."

Snapped! !

Zhan Kuang slammed his hand on the table, clearly displeased, and said, "They say Godzilla wants to eat nuclear waste, so we can sell it to China cheaper, or even provide it for free, but we will never pay you to dispose of it."

"They also said that nuclear waste used to be considered waste, but now it's a scarce resource, and China should thank them for being willing to provide it."

"..."

Luo Yu was completely dumbfounded after hearing this.

What kind of logic is this?

Is nuclear waste a scarce resource?

That thing is clearly a pollutant, a piece of garbage that plagues all countries and is a super problem that even awakened beings cannot solve, yet now it has become a scarce resource?

"General, you mean...?"

Luo Yu's eyes flickered, and he slowly said, "They want to use nuclear waste to manipulate us?"

"That's right."

"They think Godzilla needs nuclear waste to grow, so they want to take this opportunity to either have us dispose of it for them for free or have us pay for their nuclear waste."

"That's absolutely outrageous!"

The more Zhan Kuang spoke, the angrier he became: "One ton of nuclear waste costs 100,000 Dragon Coins, which is already the cost price. Our Dragon Kingdom makes a small profit, purely to help Godzilla evolve and incidentally help them solve the nuclear pollution problem."

"But instead, they turned around and tried to control us."

After listening, Luo Yu remained silent for a few seconds.

then……

He smiled.

"General, which countries are you referring to?"

"Hmph, basically every country with nuclear waste has this idea. They are jealous that our Dragon Kingdom has Godzilla to fight against the abyssal behemoth. So, they have now joined forces in a tacit understanding to force us to submit."

"Are you forcing us to give in?"

A slight smile unconsciously appeared on Luo Yu's lips as he said in a relaxed tone, "Then let's just pause it."

"pause?"

The War Maniac was clearly somewhat hesitant.

At the beginning,

The government promised to support Godzilla.

Nuclear waste is one of the most important sources of food, isn't it?

"Yes, pause."

Luo Yu calmly said, "Anyway, there are no nuclear radiation exclusion zones in China now, so we're not in a hurry."

"As for other countries..."

"If they want the nuclear radiation exclusion zone to exist, then let it exist. It's not like it's polluting our land. As for Godzilla's food, let's just eat the abyssal behemoths that were killed and frozen for now!"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Kuang couldn't help but slap his thigh: "Alright, since you have no objections, then we are indeed not in a hurry. They are the ones who are in a hurry. Nuclear waste is piling up like mountains, the pollution is getting more and more serious, and the mutated beasts will become stronger and stronger. They are the ones who will suffer."

"Let's just leave them to their own devices and see how long they can hold out."

Luo Yu grinned, as if he had thought of something, and then added in a startling way: "General, I think it won't be long before other countries are begging China to let Godzilla eat nuclear waste."

"By then, it won't be a fair price of 100,000 dragon coins per ton anymore."
