Though Godzilla isn’t a dragon, aren’t their sizes roughly the same?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s be honest, the decadence and madness of Americans were infamous worldwide; the younger generation, free from life’s pressures, chased thrills everywhere—parties, speeding cars, even white illegal drugs—anything that promised excitement drew seekers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Godzilla's appearance opened a door—a door named Power. Many fanatics pursued Godzilla's power, even worshipping it as a deity; online groups called \"Worshipers of Godzilla\" had thousands of members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Nan had once accessed their chat logs and found something both absurd and heartbreaking: every morning, these people prayed to Godzilla using Christian prayers, simply replacing “Lord” with “Godzilla.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ellie was lost in thought, her body suddenly jolted, as if she’d collided with something, forcing her to stumble backward a few steps. “Who’s in such a hurry?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ellie muttered a complaint and turned—only to see Dr. Hammond. “Doctor, what’s wrong? Why are you rushing? Has something happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing much. I just needed to contact an investor quickly,” Hammond said with slight apology, then left—his back no longer looked like that of an old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strange. What could make this old man so anxious?” Ellie’s mind raced. “Since he’s left, his conversation with Ye Nan must be over. My lovely Godzilla, Ellie’s here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ellie rushed to Ye Nan’s door, tapping lightly with her slender fingers. “Mr. Ye Nan, are you in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Nan, who was playing with Little Godzilla, didn’t stop, but simply said, “Come in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door creaked open. Ellie stepped inside and saw Little Godzilla comfortably sprawled on Ye Nan’s lap, eyes half-closed, savoring his strokes. She immediately pulled out her notebook and recorded it: “Little Godzilla can be tamed; once tamed, it behaves like a dog.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Ellie, you should know these records will only bring you danger,” Ye Nan warned kindly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I know,” Ellie nodded, utterly unconcerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you know that, why still…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why still charge straight into the tiger’s mountain despite knowing tigers lurk there?” Ellie cut him off, voicing the words he’d been about to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This notebook? Just a decoy for them. The real notes are all in my head,” Ellie said proudly—only she had the confidence to memorize an entire notebook in days, constantly adding new entries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, you’re playing with fire. Underestimating the Federal Government ends terribly,” Ye Nan observed with amusement. The best course would be to record nothing—but she’d recorded anyway, proving her fanaticism for archaeology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—I’ve got my limits. Besides, why are you acting like Hammond, so cautious? And I’ve got you, don’t I? You’re the one openly strolling around with Little Godzilla. If not for you having connections within the Federal Government, the real trouble would be yours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh. The Federal Government? Just a plaything of big conglomerates,” Ye Nan said coolly, then extended an olive branch: “By the way, interested in working for me? I’m forming an expedition team to collect mysterious artifacts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of artifacts?” Ellie perked up instantly at the word “mysterious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blood Orchid,” Ye Nan said with a mysterious smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, an adventurer had approached Ye Nan with secrets of the Blood Orchid, claiming it granted immortality. Ye Nan had agreed—but said he needed time. What he waited for was Little Godzilla’s growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blood Orchid? What’s that?” Ellie asked, puzzled. Despite her vast knowledge, she’d never heard of such a flower—unthinkable. But remembering Ye Nan’s mention of “mysterious things,” she sensed a clue: “What power does the Blood Orchid have to interest a billionaire like you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Blood Orchid is a mysterious plant. It slows human aging, granting eternal youth,” Ye Nan said, dripping with allure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Orchid was a tactic he had devised using lore from his past-life movies. When he learned of the Umbrella Corporation's existence, he had long wanted to leverage the films from his past life—but wasn't sure if those things truly existed in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he sent people into the Amazon rainforest to find the Shul tribe. Fortunately, he succeeded—bringing back a Shul man named Paul Sha. Under the power of dollars, Ye Nan confirmed the Blood Orchid's existence—and that discovery sealed his resolve to embark on an expedition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eternal youth,” Ellie gasped. For any woman, eternal youth was as alluring as immortality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing “eternal youth,” her heart stirred violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, madam? Interested?” Ye Nan smiled, certain he’d won—Ellie could not refuse him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. It’s an honor, esteemed sir,” Ellie said, smiling and extending her hand to grasp his. Ye Nan could faintly feel her trembling excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>",872,"2026-06-21T03:32:50.781Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","deeee6b3bc5c04251c72e31be749b4e0fa77f3323f672c38457e3ceb170f807b","arrival-in-1994-chapter-33","arrival-in-1994-chapter-31",643,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Farrival-in-1994-cover.jpg"]
