Reborn as a tiger, he was chosen by the nation as its guardian beast.

The meal was enjoyed by both the host and guests.

The crocodile meat was stewed until it was very tender and melted in your mouth. The broth was rich and delicious. In terms of taste alone, it was not much different from stewed beef.

But Old Zhang's cooking skills were truly exceptional, and everyone praised them highly, eating bowl after bowl until they were sweating profusely.

At first, no one thought there was anything strange about the flesh of this extraordinary creature.

But soon, after everyone had eaten their fill, some special effects began to appear.

It was a cloudy day, and the weather wasn't particularly hot, but everyone who ate meat felt a heat rising from within their bodies, radiating outwards.

Everyone started drinking water non-stop, and some of the young and strong members of the stability maintenance office even had the urge to take off their shirts and go for a run.

And this impulse quickly became a reality.

It's unclear who started it, but a young man from the stability maintenance office suddenly stood up and began jogging around the tiger enclosure.

Then, the second, the third...

Soon everyone joined in, including the mild-mannered Wang Mingyuan and the elderly Lao Zhang.

They were all in high spirits, as if they had inexhaustible energy.

"Huh, why do I suddenly feel like my back doesn't hurt anymore!" An agent said, wiggling his hips as he ran, his face full of disbelief.

"I twisted my ankle during the chase yesterday, but I can't feel it at all now!"

"My nearsightedness seems to have improved a lot; I can see things clearly now!"

As soon as the first agent pointed out the unusual feature, everyone started talking at once.

Everyone quickly realized that the crocodile soup was indeed magical.

Because it was late for dinner, Gu Xing, who was engrossed in eating, paused involuntarily when he heard these comments.

He looked interested, put down his rice bowl, took out a small notebook from his pocket, and began to question those people, recording their physical changes in detail. Clearly, his fervent enthusiasm for scientific research had returned.

Just then, one of the agents couldn't help but ask, "Professor Gu, has our research institute made any progress on the extraordinary potion research?"

"Yes, we've encountered more and more extraordinary events in the past few months, and we're feeling increasingly overwhelmed."

Upon hearing this question, even Wang Hu, who was enjoying his meal, slowed down his chewing and quietly pricked up his ears.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xing stopped writing and couldn't help but sigh.

"It should be soon."

"The first batch of extraordinary drugs has entered the final clinical trial stage. According to preliminary data, after injection, the physical qualities of ordinary people, such as strength and reaction speed, can be steadily improved by more than 0.5 to 1.5 times, depending on each person's physique."

"However, we are still conducting intensive research on whether this medicine has any unknown hidden dangers or side effects, so it has not been officially distributed yet."

"However, as far as I know, it shouldn't be long."

Extraordinary potions!

Wang Hu's mind stirred slightly.

The nation had indeed noticed the resurgence of spiritual energy long ago, and now they're almost able to develop something like this.

It seems that choosing to cling to the country's coattails is indeed the safest option at present.

Thinking this, his last bit of concern vanished, and he continued to lower his head, wolfing down the large bowl of crocodile meat in front of him.

Old Zhang cooked a huge pot of stew today, and he ate more than half of it by himself, more than everyone else ate combined.

But he didn't react as dramatically as those people.

Aside from feeling warm currents spreading through my stomach and throughout my body, leaving me feeling warm all over, I didn't experience any other unusual sensations.

After eating and drinking his fill, Wang Hu yawned widely, lazily strolled to the edge of the pool, and lay down on his favorite big rock, preparing to take a nap to digest his food.

Gu Xing's attention had never actually left Wang Hu.

Seeing that he had eaten and drunk his fill and went to sleep on his own, I couldn't resist and wanted to go over and observe him more closely.

But as soon as he lifted his foot, Wang Mingyuan grabbed him.

Wang Mingyuan shook his head at him, signaling him not to act impulsively.

"Mr. Gu, there's plenty of time. There's no need to rush."

"Sometimes, being too hasty can backfire."

"Hey, didn't you say you wanted me to give Big Cat a check-up?" Gu Xing quickly interjected.

"Let's leave it at that for today!"

"I have something to discuss with you later. Let's find a more suitable opportunity next time!"

After Wang Mingyuan finished speaking, he pulled Gu Xing, who looked unwilling, and turned to say goodbye to Zhang Desheng and his daughter.

"Director Zhang, Comrade Xiyue, I'm sorry to have bothered you today."

"If anything happens to Big Cat in the future, or if you need any help, feel free to call me anytime."

He kept his promise and, when he left with the people from the Stability Maintenance Office, he also took Xiao Liu and Brother Li, who had been stationed in the monitoring room, with him.

……

The black sedan slowly drove out of the zoo.

Inside the carriage, Gu Xing finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Wang Mingyuan! What exactly do you mean? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Faced with his questioning, Wang Mingyuan simply smiled slightly.

"Mr. Gu, don't worry."

He slowly lit a cigarette before finally revealing his thoughts.

"Have you considered formally incorporating this tiger into our stability maintenance office system?"

"Once it becomes one of our own, a formal member of the Stability Maintenance Office, and we have a foundation of mutual trust, then it would be perfectly reasonable to arrange even a routine physical examination, let alone drawing a vial of blood."

"I notified Mr. Gu to come over today so that he could also take a look at this tiger and confirm that it is indeed not dangerous. When I apply to my superiors, I will need Mr. Gu to sign my application."

Gu Xing was taken aback upon hearing this.

Wang Mingyuan's words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly cleaving through the fog in his mind.

A thought quietly rose in his mind.

Yup!

They could recruit this extraordinary tiger into their system!

But why is it that this extraordinary tiger can only join the Extraordinary Power Stability Maintenance Office in Huacheng?

Why can't I join their Extraordinary Biological Research Institute?

Their research institute is currently preparing to separate and establish an extraordinary biological research institute, and is still struggling with the issue of choosing a new location.

Now it seems that Hwaseong Zoo is a ready-made, perfect choice.

Then we can invite Director Zhang and Comrade Zhang Xiyue to work at the research institute. Wouldn't that make the big cat join us then?

Thinking of this, Gu Xing could no longer contain himself, and a smile spread across his face.

However, the smile only lasted for a moment before he forcibly suppressed it.

No, this idea absolutely cannot be detected by that old fox, Wang Mingyuan.

Although we are all official organizations, we still have to share the burden of our own responsibilities.

This big cat is a one-of-a-kind treasure.

If that old bastard finds out about my plans, he'll definitely try to pull some dirty tricks on me, openly or secretly vying for the ownership of the big cat.

He cleared his throat, pretended to suddenly understand, and gave Wang Mingyuan a thumbs up.

"Brilliant! Old Wang, you're truly brilliant!"

"Don't worry, I will cooperate with you to submit the application to the higher-ups."

"We assure you that our request has been approved..."
