Working as a consultant in the Ultra Universe

"Tell me, what do you think? Haven't we talked about this before?"

After opening the folding chair, Staff Officer Manabe sat down on it, then asked Gu Chen who was beside him.

The tents and other things have been set up with the help of Higashi Kotaro and Kishida Fumio, and all necessary daily necessities have been arranged in place. With Gu Chen not wearing a uniform, it looks like they are camping in the wild.

Of course, the premise is to ignore the government officials in suits around him, Higashi Kotaro in the ZAT team uniform, and the little monster Qinpai who is rolling around in front of Gu Chen.

"What do you think? I just want to see what everyone thinks."

In response to Chief of Staff Manabe's question, Gu Chen grinned and said this.

"Humph, kid, do you think you can hide your little tricks from me? Tell me the truth now."

However, Staff Officer Manabe snorted coldly and could tell at a glance that what Gu Chen had just said was not his true thoughts.

Staff Officer Manabe didn't think that Gu Chen was lying, he just felt that Gu Chen was hiding something from him.

"Ah, I really can't hide it from you, Staff Officer." Gu Chen scratched the back of his head, as if he was seen through by Staff Officer Manabe, "Well, actually I just want them to help me make a decision."

"Decide?"

Upon hearing this, Fumio Kishida tilted his head, then looked at Higashi Kotaro to see if he knew what the "decision" Gu Chen was talking about was.

Feeling the look from Kishida Fumio, Higashi Kotaro shrugged and spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know what the "decision" that Gu Chen was talking about was.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't play dumb with me."

Staff Officer Manabe stretched out his hand and slapped Gu Chen lightly on the back of his head.

"Really? Why did you start fighting? I just want to see whether I should continue my idealism or turn to realism."

Gu Chen curled his lips, then revealed his true thoughts.

"Idealism? Realism?"

When Higashi Kotaro heard this, two question marks almost popped up on his forehead.

Beside him, Fumio Kishida had a thoughtful expression.

As for the others, they didn't care much about what Gu Chen said. They just kept staring at Qin Pai, fearing that Qin Pai would suddenly attack and hurt Staff Officer Manabe.

"Hey, you kid..." Hearing this, Staff Officer Manabe sighed, "I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"

"Huh? Staff Officer Manabe, you haven't had lunch yet?"

Gu Chen was stunned. Isn't your change of topic a bit too abrupt?

"Staff Officer Manabe had just finished a meeting and was about to go to lunch when he learned about your situation and rushed over. He had no time to eat lunch."

Before Staff Officer Manabe could say anything, the government official who came with him spoke up in an unpleasant tone.

"I see, Kishida, why didn't you tell me earlier? Why don't you put up the stove?" Gu Chen slapped his thigh, turned around and said to Kishida Fumio, then looked at Higashi Kotaro: "Kotaro, you should also take out the ingredients quickly. Today I will show you my skills again."

"Yes!"

After Kishida Fumio and Higashi Kotaro responded in unison, they immediately went into the tent and started working.

After a while, the stove was set up, the charcoal fire was lit, and the skewers were sizzling with oil under the roasting of the charcoal fire.

In the end, Staff Officer Manabe and others did not stay in Mount Asama for long. As mentioned earlier, Staff Officer Manabe was busy.

So after eating a few bites of Gu Chen's barbecue to fill their stomachs, Staff Officer Manabe and the others left.

Although Fumio Kishida wanted to stay, he was no longer a member of the MAT team, so he had to leave with Chief of Staff Manabe.

As soon as Staff Officer Manabe and others left, Gu Chen's ears suddenly became quiet. The same was true for those government officials, who kept nagging incessantly, and it seemed as if they were not thirsty.

Just like that, Gu Chen, Dong Kotaro and Zoffy who had reappeared, started a life of camping in the wild, which was a far cry from the noisy Earth Defense Force headquarters.

Without Gu Chen's special efforts to control it, the debate at the ZAT team headquarters basically never stopped.

And as time went on, not only the ZAT team headquarters, but also other bases and departments joined in the discussion of this topic.

What's worse, they also brought this news to the outside world. After all, Gu Chen didn't say that he would control this news, right?

So naturally, reporters from the media who received the news flocked to the scene and began interviewing every member of the Earth Defense Force they could find.

All of a sudden, the news that the Earth Defense Force was going to build another monster nature reserve was reported on the television news in the Sakura Country and became known to the general public. The news was then spread to all parts of the world through these news reports.

At this moment, people who saw the news became excited and joined in the heated debate.

The previous incident of the giant turtle monster couple caused huge controversy due to the different statements from the Sakura Country and the Beautiful Country. Therefore, after the news came out this time, it once again caused a huge topic of controversy.

The entire public opinion field did not develop into the bad situation that Shuhei Aragaki and others had expected. Instead, it became roughly divided into four factions, just like the internal situation of their Earth Defense Force.

However, this may also be related to the fact that the construction of the Monster Nature Reserve has not been officially confirmed. If a news notice was directly issued saying that another Monster Nature Reserve would be established, perhaps the public opinion field would be completely different.

Naturally, the news also reached Yoshimura Kozo, who was about to be discharged from the ZAT team's medical center.

He was in the process of being discharged from the hospital when he heard others discussing the establishment of a nature reserve for monsters.

After a little inquiry, Yoshimura Kozo understood the whole story.

Immediately, he seemed to be hit by something in his heart. He shuddered and couldn't wait to complete the discharge procedures and ran out in a hurry.

That scene stunned everyone who was discussing the Monster Nature Reserve.

Although being discharged from the hospital is something to be happy about, aren't you a little too excited?

Yoshimura Kozo didn't know that others were gossiping about him behind his back. He only knew that he had to do something. That seemed to be his mission and the cause he had to accomplish.

With this idea in mind, after being discharged from the hospital, Yoshimura Kozo stopped a taxi directly, gave the driver an address, and asked the driver to step on the accelerator to the bottom, indicating that he was in a hurry.
