Chapter 238
Xiangliu, Qiongqi, Pixiu, Jiuwei, Suanni, Chenghuang, Kaiming, Yingzhao, Fudou, Baize, Jinwu, Jiuying... and more than a dozen legendary beasts appeared one after another, and each appeared on the screen.
Show your power.
I have to say that the appearance of some mythical beasts makes people lose their SAN value. For example, the Xiangliu has a body like a huge python, but it has nine heads and a human face, which can easily scare the audience crazy.
"First of all, let me explain that these mythical beasts are only temporarily named. We are not sure that they are the mythical beasts in ancient legends. We can only judge based on their appearance and abilities recorded in ancient books."
Xiao Yuke explained from the side: "...but we all know that many of these creatures recorded in ancient books do not have a unified image. The same creature may appear completely in ancient books such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Sou Shen Ji", and "Shu Yi Ji".
They are different, and some of the descriptions are very unreliable or even contradictory. The same goes for the descriptions of their abilities. In addition, there are also many strange beasts whose records are very brief, with only descriptions of their appearance but no description of their abilities."
"For example, Yingzhao, according to the records of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", has the shape of a horse's body but a human face, tiger stripes and bird's wings. He travels all over the world, and his voice is like a pomegranate. In other words, he should have the body of a horse and the face of a human.
, covered in tiger spots, with wings on his back. But our hero is..."
He pointed at the screen.
"This is a centaur?" Everyone was surprised.
Yes, the Yingzhao that appeared on the screen was the image of a centaur. This Yingzhao was nearly four meters tall and more than seven meters long. The upper body looked like a giant humanoid, and the lower body from the waist down looked like a horse, but it was just a horse.
It has wings stretched out from its body and has tiger stripes.

Okay, that seems to be correct.
Kaiming's appearance is also somewhat different from the legend. He does not have nine heads, but only one head. He only has eight tentacles on his neck. The tops of the tentacles swell into a spherical shape, with a pair of gem-shaped crystals on them, slightly like eyes. It looks like
It looks like a pair of eyes, and with some patterns similar to talismans, it looks a bit like a human head.
And his greatest magical powers are on these eight tentacles, which correspond to the magical powers of eight attributes, including metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and light.
"Which one of them is stronger?" the emperor asked curiously.
"Jinwu, Yingzhao, Xiangliu, Kaiming, and Baize are probably the most powerful divine beasts in our country currently. They all have a variety of powerful innate magical powers. As for who is the strongest, it's hard to say, after all, they are each good at what they do.
The fields are different..." Xiao Yuke explained.
"For example, Bai Ze, he is not a combat type. His magical powers lie in insight and detection, as well as prediction, calculation, etc. He is a super biological computer. Yingzhao's ability mainly lies in controlling space. He can teleport creatures and
thing……"
After roughly understanding the abilities of these mythical beasts, some bosses curiously asked: "Why can they transform into mythical beasts, but others can't?"
"We really don't know about this, and experts are completely confused. There are many speculations, but none of them are completely self-consistent."
According to experts' speculation, the reason why these people can become mythical beasts may be because their ancestors have the bloodline of mythical beasts, or because those experiments activated their bloodlines, and then they were reawakened and strengthened by Su Lei, making them
An atavism occurred.
However, the genes of these mythical beasts have also been tested, including the fact that they had genetic samples preserved before the experiment. They are no different from humans. There is no difference at all. But after the transformation, the genes also changed.
This situation cannot be explained by science at all.
What frustrates experts the most is that these mythical beast genes cannot survive. As long as they leave the body for more than 24 hours, they will automatically collapse and turn into a puddle of the most basic proteins and organic compounds. Moreover, they cannot be copied, even if they are imitated using gene editing.
After such genes are produced, they cannot persist for a long time. Cells containing these genes often collapse within a few hours.
The emperor asked: "It seems that mythical beasts cannot be mass-produced... So do they have spiritual roots? Can they practice cultivation?"
Xiao Yuke smiled and said: "Of course they have spiritual roots and can practice, and their talents are stronger than many monks."
"How should we repay him who has given us so much?" The emperor was quite embarrassed.
Xiao Yuke said: "According to the experts' suggestions, from the current point of view, that person wants to play in the human world and abide by the rules of the human world. Then follow the rules of the human world. Promotions, honorary titles, national awards, etc...
"
"Is it too little?" The emperor hesitated.
When ants give rewards to people, even if they come up with the best things from the ants, it would probably be a joke to people.
Xiao Yuke thought for a while and said: "Probably not. We have analyzed this person's character and he doesn't seem to care much about these things, but our attitude is very important. Even if such an existence is not worth mentioning, we only need to express our
Sincerity, then there will be nothing wrong.”
The important ministers also had no objections.
The emperor said: "Okay then, you can come up with a reward plan..."
………………
Weihai Research Institute.
Early that morning, a large number of high-ranking officials came to the research institute, including those from the royal family, the cabinet, and the military commission, all with promotion or commendation orders to hand out awards.
"Congratulations, Director Su, because of your outstanding contributions and great achievements in the field of scientific research. The Emperor is ready to award you the highest award in the empire - the highest medal of honor in the empire, and grant you the title of 'Great Scholar', as well as the highest award in the field of scientific research.
——Medal of Light of Civilization. In addition, your nomination as an academician has been voted on unanimously, and you are now a dual academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences and the Imperial Academy of Engineering."
"From today on, your permanent rank will be upgraded to second-class captain, and your temporary rank will be upgraded to second-class general. You will officially take office as the director of this institute and concurrently serve as the president of the Dongyue Provincial Research Branch."
"After the emperor and the cabinet have agreed, in recognition of your great contribution to the empire, your title will be promoted to a second-class military earl. Please choose the specific fiefdom yourself..."
The royal representative said with a fawning look.
"Ah, earl? I'm just a baron. Can I still be promoted to this title?" Su Lei asked in surprise.
He had expected other rewards. After all, as the host of the three major ascension projects, he would definitely receive generous rewards.
The double academician has been nominated a long time ago, and if it hadn't been for the thesis, he would have received it long ago. The title of 'Great National Scholar' is also appropriate. He is not considered a national scholar, who would dare to count? If it were not for the promotion to the permanent title, it is necessary
Judging from his seniority, he is probably a serious general now.
However, the promotion to earl is a bit unexpected. Although Daxia attaches great importance to researchers and has been very willing to reward heavily since Taizu. However, the promotion of the title mainly depends on military merit, and the name is "Military Merit Lord". Although he is now in the army
It was understandable that he would be promoted to a noble title due to the establishment of the organization, but the promotion beyond the rank surprised him a bit.
The royal representative said with a smile on his face: "Of course, you don't have to be modest. Your merits and contributions are enough to deserve this honor..."
