In other words, the Ji Xuan who was supposed to obtain Red Star Aspiration Power in this era never went to Shennongjia at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No... that's not right. If that were the case, wouldn't that mean the original Lou Yu of this era also didn't go to Shennongjia?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't this change history??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Ji Xuan and Lou Yu who were supposed to obtain Red Star Aspiration Power were replaced by the Lord of Hanging Jade and the Lord of Wuji who shouldn't have been in this era, wouldn't the Nine Monarchs be directly reduced to Seven Monarchs?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, would the future Lord of Hanging Jade and Lord of Wuji still exist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could this be... isn't this a paradox?\" Chen Ling muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong, Director Chen?\" Yang Xiao covered the microphone of his phone and asked him softly. \"Should I still talk to Dr. Ji?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of hesitation, Chen Ling gave his answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of anything else, they would first arrange things according to the original composition of the Nine Monarchs, and discuss other matters later... As for the Lord of Hanging Jade, Chen Ling currently had no way to contact him, so he could only hope that he would act freely as he saw fit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Yang Xiao called the other several people respectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some hesitation, they basically all gave Yang Xiao a positive response. After all, they had all encountered some incidents themselves recently. Being able to gather together and communicate properly would undoubtedly give them a lot of peace of mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Chu Changqing's phone still couldn't be reached... He was probably still in the Bitter Flesh Forest, unable to return to Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Chen, when I contacted them just now, it seemed like the officials were with them... After hearing about it, they said they wanted to send people to protect us.\" Yang Xiao hung up the phone and said somewhat helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's perfectly normal,\" Chen Ling nodded slightly. \"Now that they know the strategic value of you guys, combined with the currently tense global situation, they will definitely prioritize guaranteeing your safety... The fact that they didn't force you guys to hold the meeting in the capital is already pretty good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They must have already seen Yang Xiao single-handedly annihilate the Seventh Fleet just now. Their reason for making this request wasn't because Yang Xiao and the others actually needed their protection, but rather because they would feel uneasy if they couldn't grasp the whereabouts of Yang Xiao and the others at all times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Yang Xiao hung up the phone, he saw a ship sailing over from the direction of their homeland, heading straight toward their location. At the same time, it flashed its lights rhythmically, as if transmitting some sort of message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're here to pick us up.\" Yang Xiao finally remembered that he was still blocking the communication signals in this sea area, and immediately waved his hand to disperse it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the ship slowly approached, Chen Ling pondered for a moment before slowly stepping back toward the railing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, they're here to pick you up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?\" Yang Xiao was stunned. \"Director Chen, aren't you leaving with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... To them, I am not exactly a positive figure right now. Standing beside you would only cause trouble.\" Chen Ling's pitch-black face revealed a slight smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I will follow you in secret... Let's meet again at Shennongjia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that said, the great crimson theatrical robe spread his arms, leaned back, and fell into the vast ocean, vanishing without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Yang Xiao didn't even have the time to voice his persuasion. By the time he turned back around, the ship had already arrived nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Figures stood by the side of the ship, looking at Yang Xiao, who stood alone on the American destroyer, with deep respect and awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lou Yu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stern call came from behind. The gentle and frail youth who had just arrived at the cafeteria entrance trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He subconsciously turned around and bowed deeply toward the old man carrying a black leather bag at his waist. The old black-rimmed glasses, which had been stretched wide, slipped down his nose bridge and almost fell directly onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yu immediately held his glasses with his hand, lowered his head, and called out softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... Dean.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lou Yu, what's going on with you?\" The Dean's brows were tightly furrowed. \"It's been so long, why hasn't there been any progress on the project I gave you last time? Do you know how much research funding the boss over at Golden Mantis has poured into our institute for this project?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation outside is chaotic right now, and Golden Mantis is already considering abandoning the project. If you still can't produce any results, let alone getting the final payment, we might even have to return the research funding we've received so far... Do you want all these people in our institute to starve?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm truly sorry, Dean.\" Lou Yu bowed even lower. \"The ultra-low-cost paint material they want is simply too difficult to develop... I've already tried many directions, but none of them meet the national environmental standards...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't I tell you? Environmental standards aren't an issue... Golden Mantis has its own connections. As long as you can keep the costs down, everything else can be easily resolved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Dean...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough. I'll give you three more days. If you still can't develop it in three days, I'll hand this project over to someone else... And forget about your subsidy for this year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man waved his hand and was about to leave, but suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back around:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh right, I read your paper on new aerospace materials last time, it's not bad. Recently, a nephew of mine just transferred to our institute. I plan on having him join your research group too... There shouldn't be a problem with listing him as the first author on this paper, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yu was stunned. \"Dean, then I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you did a lot of the material sorting work for this paper, but you also know that papers are hard to publish nowadays. It's not just about how well you write; the line between good and bad lies in knowing how to conduct yourself... My nephew just transferred here and is short exactly one achievement to pass this year's assessment. Do him a favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You're still young, you have plenty of opportunities. For now, take the title of second author; there's still room for improvement in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dean patted Lou Yu's shoulder, revealing an encouraging smile befitting an elder, and then tucked his leather bag under his arm and turned to leave the research institute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yu remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh. Shaking his head, he walked into the cafeteria...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Auntie, please give me a portion of sour and spicy shredded potatoes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Lou, won't you have a meat dish?\" the cafeteria worker Auntie asked kindly upon seeing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, Auntie Xu. It's the end of the month, my subsidy is almost gone.\" Lou Yu adjusted his black-rimmed glasses and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You child... You bury yourself in the lab every day, using your brain so much, but you don't eat more. Look at how skinny you've become.\" As she spoke, Auntie Xu took advantage of the lack of people around and secretly scooped a large spoonful of braised pork with eggplant and stuffed it onto Lou Yu's plate. \"It's on the house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Auntie Xu.\" Looking at the plate full of food, Lou Yu's eyes were brimming with gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, he served himself a bowl of winter melon soup, grabbed a small packet of free pickled mustard greens, and walked toward a seat in the cafeteria.\u003C\u002Fp>",1365,"2026-05-30T14:16:39.061Z","2026-06-01T04:31:26.536Z",1,"novelbin.me","8cb5d7c03335b152a04da010eb703b8caded3b91df821722fc6fc070990ff906","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-1365","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-1363",1902,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-the-god-of-drama-cover.jpg"]
