The simple "two-sentence meeting" ended.
Li, the Family Head, dispersed everyone and took Chen Yu to the underground part of the skyscraper.
It was different from the surface.
Upon entering the first basement level, the hurried "white coats" and orderly arranged glass rooms, sterile rooms, cultivation rooms, washrooms… and various other scientific functional compartments, made Chen Yu’s eyes light up: "Is this a research institution?"
"What is a research institution?" Li asked blankly.
Chen Yu: "...Isn’t this built by you?"
Li: "I have no idea."
With a look reserved for the "mentally ill," Chen Yu sized up Li for a long while, gesturing around: "I even see microscopes and petri dishes. You really don’t know?"
"What are microscopes and petri dishes?" Li asked again.
Chen Yu: "..."
After a long silence, he dragged Li into a compartment filled with bottles and jars, picked up a small microscope, and handed it to him: "This is a microscope, which can see a microscopic world invisible to the naked eye."
"How fascinating!" Li was amazed. He quickly took the microscope, fiddled with it, and then said proudly, "Your Majesty, you know so much. Indeed, in their spare time, they all come underground to play with these toys to relax."
Chen Yu: "..."
Observing Li’s demeanor seriously, Chen Yu confirmed that the man was indeed "illiterate," so he didn’t bother to explain further and waved his hand grandly: "Who is in charge of this institution? Bring him here."
"Quick!" Li immediately looked towards the nearby white coats, commanding, "Who is the supervisor of this level? Bring him here quickly."
The white coats quickly dispersed.
Soon, an old woman with white hair hurried over, bowing deeply to Li: "President."
"I’m not important." Li stepped back half a step, making Chen Yu more prominent: "This person here is the Great Emperor of our human race. The Human Rights Association was established by His Majesty thousands of years ago to protect the rights of ordinary people."
"Great Emperor…" the white-coated old woman’s pupils contracted sharply. She decisively knelt on one knee: "I have seen Your Majesty."
"No need for formalities, please rise," Chen Yu gestured magnanimously.
The old woman obediently stood up but kept her head down, not daring to look at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu, sensing the old woman’s aversion, paused to think, then softened his tone and asked with a smile, "Please, how should I address you?"
"Your Majesty… just call me Doctor," she replied.
"Alright, Doctor. Did you establish this place?"
"Yes," the old Doctor nodded.
"Setting up such a vast research site, what are you primarily researching?" Chen Yu asked enthusiastically, taking the old Doctor’s hand and walking along as they talked.
"Most areas are used for the research and manufacture of firearms."
"Firearms?"
"Yes. Mainly kinetic weapons and laser weapons."
"And there are biological weapons as well," Chen Yu added with a smile.
The old Doctor’s body jolted on hearing this, she cautiously stole a glance at Chen Yu and then swallowed with difficulty: "Yes… that’s correct."
Chen Yu turned to Li: "Do you understand what the Doctor is researching?"
Li, sweating profusely, tentatively asked, "Auntie, you are..."
"President, I am the vice president of the Human Rights Association," the old Doctor bowed.
"Is that so!" Li shook hands warmly, saying, "It’s a pleasure to..."
"Thud!"
Before he could finish, Li was sent flying by a furious slap from Chen Yu: "Damn it, you don’t even recognize your own vice president, have you actually been doing anything?!"
"Thump."
He flew several meters and fell to the ground. Discover more stories at Freewebnovel
Li lay completely still, pretending to be dead.
Chen Yu had no mood to fuss over Li any further, put on a friendly face again, and helped the old Doctor to continue the walk: "It seems you’ve done such a big thing, and President L doesn’t know a thing about it. I’ll just talk with you."
"Your Majesty, you flatter me. Whatever you wish to know, I will tell without reservation."

"First, tell me about these weapons…"
The two of them walked around the underground research facility, going around twice. Chen Yu got a fairly clear picture of the situation.
This place was officially called the First Research Center of the Human Rights Association.
It had been established for over forty years.
It had developed a considerable number of high-tech weapons, like a recoil pistol with an initial speed of over 2000 meters per second, a high-precision long-range concentrated energy beam, a specific frequency sound wave oscillator… even miniature nuclear grenades.
The main purpose of establishing the research center was only to enhance the combat capabilities of ordinary people against the Transcendents—to provide a "hardware" basis for human rights protection.
But even by using his heels to think, Chen Yu could guess that these "goodies" would be equipped by the Transcendents the moment they appeared.
In terms of comprehensive physique, reaction, and nerve.
These high technologies would instead become a part of strengthening the "Transcendent realm."
After all, on the graduation assessment tournament decades later, Chen Yu had personally experienced the opponents’ saturation attacks with "firearms."
’So.’
’These scientific researchers can’t be that stupid.’
’She must be hiding something from me.’
Realizing this reason, Chen Yu’s smile brightened as he wrapped his arm around the white-coated old lady and walked towards a private room: "Doctor, let’s go in to talk and find a place to sit."
"Alright."
They entered the private room and casually shut the door.
Chen Yu decisively activated the source of his Dantian, releasing his abilities.
