Beast Taming: I have a simplified system

"Minister, it's like this, blah blah blah."

"My idea is to keep Dr. Chen Chang and the others in Wushan City as much as possible, but there's a problem: how should we assign them positions—should they join the Evolution Department or the Breeding Department?"

As Yi Tian narrated, surprised sounds came from the other end of the phone from time to time.

"This is fantastic news!"

"If they are really willing to join, our research institute can set up a separate department, the New Technology Research and Development Department."

"Um, so departments can be created so easily?"

"No, this department was already planned within the research institute's system."

"However, some cities, including Wushan City, do not have enough relevant talent reserves, which is why they have not been able to formally establish departments."

"According to what you said, Dr. Chen's team already has more than ten people. According to regulations, the number is enough to establish a new department."

Yi Tian was curious.

"They're not residents of Wushan City, is that okay?"

"Hey, it's no big deal. Leave the residency registration to me. As long as you're willing to come, you'll be a Wushan resident once you're here!"

"Dean, how about this, when you have the meeting with them tomorrow, take me with you."

"OK."

The two chatted for a while longer, and Chu Ying became a little excited.

"If this really works out, our Fog Hill Research Institute's overall ranking will rise by at least 50 places!"

Yi Tian asked curiously.

"Minister, what exactly is this 'overall ranking'?"

Chu Ying was stunned for a few seconds before awkwardly replying.

"Within our research institute system, every five years, we conduct a score evaluation and ranking of all research institutes in cities across the country."

Yi Tian asked again.

"So where does Wushan rank?"

"Around 500."

Chu Ying's voice was very soft.

Yi Tian raised an eyebrow. The four regions of the Dragon Kingdom, east, west, south, and north, together have about 600 cities.

The ranking of Wushan is quite low.

No wonder I'd never heard of the rankings before; it's obvious they're too low for anyone to talk about.

That night, Yi Tian had some trouble sleeping.

He couldn't help but plan how he would utilize the system if the project restarted and he successfully cultivated the tamed beast.

"Like the Eight-Directional Staff before the Great Sage, the requirement for learning it is to have hands, so theoretically, humans can also learn it."

"Besides staff techniques, I should be able to learn many other weapon-related skills!"

"Oh, right, I can also find some skills to improve my physical fitness and learn!"

"..."

The next day, Yi Tian and Chu Ying arrived at the train station ahead of time to wait for Chen Chang and his group.

He had seen Chen Chang's photo.

He was a middle-aged man who looked very ordinary, wearing glasses and with a neat buzz cut.

As soon as Chen Chang and his group came out of the station exit, Yi Tian recognized him and went to greet him.

"You must be Dr. Chen?"

Chen Chang nodded, recognizing Yi Tian as well.

"Dean Yi."

The two then briefly introduced themselves to each other.

Yi Tian prepared to take Chen Chang and his group to the research institute.

We had agreed to meet there.

He went to the garage to get his car, leaving Chen Chang and the others to wait outside.

"Second Uncle, it seems that Dean Yi wants to keep us in Wushan City."

A man who looked somewhat like Chen Chang whispered to Chen Chang.

He is Chen Chang's nephew, Chen Jiang.

Yi Tian was overly enthusiastic, giving off a sense of being courteous and respectful to scholars.

Chen Chang smiled.

"If the talks go smoothly, staying in Wushan City is not out of the question."

"Second Uncle, you should think this through. The research level in Wushan City is among the worst in the country."

"Besides... I just took a closer look at Yi Tian, ​​and he seems to be just so-so."

"He's the director here, so I'm a little resentful of having him as my superior."

Chen Chang asked.

"Are your achievements as great as theirs?"

Chen Jiang shook his head.

"No, but Yi Tian's only notable achievement in research is the evolutionary path of the Ruyi Divine Monkey."

"Second Uncle, as you know, there are too many random factors involved in the study of evolutionary paths. Yi Tian is so young, I guess he might just be lucky."

Chen Chang asked again.

"Then why didn't the other researchers have such good luck?"

Chen Jiang was speechless this time.

Chen Chang smiled.

My nephew isn't very old, not even thirty yet, still quite young.

It's normal to be competitive.

"It still needs a lot of polishing."

That's what I was thinking.

But then again.

If they wanted to stay in Wushan City, it wouldn't be that easy.

Chen Chang sighed, recalling his previous failures.

"If redoing the project and still only achieves the same result as before, then it is still a failed project."

"There's no point in redoing it."

To be rational...

He shouldn't have come to Wushan City.

Chen Chang is already at the world's top level in this field.

If even he isn't confident he can achieve a new breakthrough, then it's even less likely for others.

Therefore, this project was destined to fail.

But when he heard that someone was willing to fund the project, and that this person was also a super genius in research, he was surprised.

Chen Chang couldn't help but let a sliver of fantasy creep in again.

"What if..."

He had poured his heart and soul into this project, but it failed, and Chen Chang was very unwilling to accept it!

Just then, a black sedan stopped in front of Chen Chang.

The car window rolled down, revealing Yi Tian's face.

"Dr. Chen, please get in the car."

"Okay, thank you very much, Dean Yi."

Yi Tian driving the car himself touched him a little.

Chen Chang led Chen Jiang into the car, and the others were arranged to get into other cars one by one.

The three of them chatted from time to time on the way.

Halfway there, Chen Jiang suddenly said.

"Dean Yi, I'm very interested in the evolutionary path of the Ruyi Shenhou (a mythical monkey). Could you tell me about the general research process?"

"Let me learn from you."

After saying that, he even put on a look of eager curiosity.

Chen Chang's face turned cold, and he coughed, but Chen Jiang pretended not to hear it.

He wanted to see just how much real talent Yi Tian possessed.

Yi Tian thought about it and realized there really wasn't much to say. He was just a cheat code user, and he hadn't actually done any research.

He then gave a perfunctory reply.

"We just followed the normal research procedures, and luckily, we stumbled upon it."

Chen Jiangdao.

"Dean Yi is too modest."

However, his face showed an expression that said, "I knew it."

He asked again.

"Dean Yi, I've seen some media outlets online compiling news... Have you seen them?"

Yi Tian frowned.

"I've seen it."

Chen Jiang didn't explicitly state the specific content of the news, but it was easy to guess.

These are the news stories that claim their achievements are plagiarized from others or that falsely claim credit for others' work.

Chen Jiang's attitude made Yi Tian realize that it might be a bit difficult to keep this group of people here.

Why don't you come forward and clarify this?

"I'm just too lazy to waste time."

"Too."

Chen Jiang asked two questions, and Yi Tian's answers were both somewhat negative.

Chen Chang was somewhat surprised. He thought that Yi Tian, ​​such a young genius, should have high aspirations.

But since we're already here, we can't leave anytime soon.

Let's observe further.
