"Chairman, here's the situation..."

Electric Cat 333 is one of the external persuaders for the wild alien action team from Building No. 7.

The configured Cat Houses, liquid batteries, and guiding networks around various regions are sufficient for the Working Electric Cats to survive locally for four months. Every month, a company airship would airdrop battery supplies, and if needed, the airship would also transport them to other areas.

Two months ago, Electric Cat 333 was deployed in an area filled with weathered rocks.

There is a strange Building Life here.

Half of its shell was buried in the mountains. With the help of Building No. 7 and satellites, 333 connected with this Building Life.

"Hello, Big Guy."

"You... Hello, can you hear my voice?"

The surprised look on the other party's face was all too familiar to 333.

As an Electric Cat for external alien recruitment, it had seen this many times. It was normal; even in the company, it hadn't been long since aliens and Electric Cats started direct communication.

In the external world, aliens were known as incomprehensible, untalkative monsters. They couldn't communicate even among themselves, approaching each other only to pose threats and tension, leading to mutual slaughter.

This alien trapped within the mountains was named Saint George's Church.

It was very stubborn.

"I want to come out of the mountains myself."

"I can do it."

Electric Cat asked if it came to the mountains to avoid the Dead Sea.

"No, I was brought here by a group of red creatures."

After some verification.

333 finally understood that Saint George was talking about the Red Monsters.

The local Red Monsters had encountered a powerful challenge, and unable to fight it, they sought help from this church.

Saint George came to assist but was nearly beaten to death here, leaving only some debris and fragments. It took a long time to barely recover.

"The enemy was very strong."

Saint George spoke about it with regret: "Their rank was higher than mine, I couldn't compete."

"Then why did you still fight?" Electric Cat was puzzled.

"Protecting the weak is my characteristic and mission!"

The other party proudly insisted: "Whenever there's injustice, I must stand up."

Electric Cat couldn't understand the alien's logic: "Rushing to fight despite knowing you'll lose is just throwing your life away. If you want to help the Red Monsters, you should lead them to a safer place."

"What if the opponent has a Light Burst? How would you fight? Swinging your stone fists at the air?"

Saint George was immediately at a loss for words.

After a while, it slowly replied: "In any case, we must strive to protect the weak and innocent. That's who I am."

Electric Cat found it suspicious.

The Red Monsters were active in various places, known for their cunning and ferocity, definitely not a weak group.

Electric Cat accessed satellite monitoring and found that indeed, a group of Red Monsters were active along the edge of the Dead Sea. They moved in packs, plundering the surrounding areas.

The region had rocky terrain, sparse vegetation, no towns or human settlements, but there was a Mechanical Lord—Leclerc XLR Tank TE-11.

This Mechanical Lord, along with 17 Mechanical Thugs, formed a powerful Pillage Group, using the area as their rear base.

In the past, the Mechanical Raider Group and Red Monsters coexisted peacefully.

But recently, the Mechanical Raider Group plundered in the Dead Sea and was obliterated by the passing Legal Front navy. Only the Tank Lord who stayed behind for maintenance was spared.

The Red Monsters suddenly got ambitious, targeting this lone Tank Lord to seize the Pillage Group's entire treasure.

To their surprise, the Leclerc Tank's firepower was astonishing and it was undaunted in facing overwhelming numbers, causing heavy casualties among the Red Monsters.

They then sought Saint George for help.

This alien originally stood on a cliff by the coast, close to the Red Monsters.

The cunning Red Monsters had long figured out Saint George's characteristics, knowing that if they entered the church to ask for help, it would intervene.

So, Saint George was invited down the mountain, powerfully confronting the Leclerc Tank.

The result was that under Sealing Bullets and Light-blocking Bombs, it was immobilized, shattered by the Leclerc Tank's B-3 Smoothbore Main Gun and High Explosive Armor-Piercing Bullets, leaving only a foundation stump.

On the other hand.

The Red Monsters took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, destroying the tank's secret camp, stealing its supplies, equipment, and treasures, and then fled.

Leclerc Tank pursued them into the Dead Sea.

Shortly after, the Red Monsters reappeared on the land, but the Tank Lord was never seen again.

Recursive City's data center collected some intelligence.

"Based on identification numbers and wanted lists, confirming that Leclerc XLR Tank TE-11's chassis and turret had been traded in the duty-free town of Isolation Hills in Duke Destructive's Territory."

In short.

The Tank Lord had been lured into the Dead Sea and killed by the Red Monsters, dismantled, and sold for parts.

Electric Cat 333 relayed this to Saint George.

"They just used me..."

The alien found it hard to accept.

"Neither side was weak, nor innocent..."

"Why did it happen this way..."

Saint George seemed lost.

Electric Cat said: "It's not a big deal. Aren't you still alive? Besides life and death, everything else is trivial, according to our Chairman."

"Chairman? Your company's leader?"

"Yes."

Saint George asked: "What kind of person is he?"

"It's hard to describe. Outsiders say the Chairman is a Mechanical Destroyer, a Dragonslayer, an Alien Collector..."

After thinking for a moment, Electric Cat added: "Anyway, to us Electric Cats, he's a good person."

"Originally, Electric Cats couldn't roam freely, needing electricity as energy, and electrical conductors as media. The Chairman set up the Heaven and Earth Net, establishing the network system in various places, along with numerous generators and Cat Houses, enabling us to traverse skies and ground via conductors."

Electric Cat 333 thought.

The alien's situation was similar to the Electric Cats, both having apparent strengths and weaknesses.

Aliens confined to isolated islands were just like Electric Cats that could only move along conductors.

Suddenly, Saint George said: "Hold on, he's a Dragonslayer?"

"Yes, at the Dragon Palace in the Forbidden Continent, the Chairman killed a dragon in just 15 seconds, it's widely known."

"Actually, I am also a Dragonslayer!"

"..."

Electric Cat was skeptical.

Saint George emphatically said: "I really am a Dragonslayer. The Dragonslayer Saint George fell into a long slumber, and it and I are actually one entity. Due to a weakened consciousness, its name and deeds have rarely been passed down, making it difficult to wake…"

"If your Chairman is also a Dragonslayer, he must embody the Dragonslayer spirit of fighting the strong and supporting the weak!"

"I want to join the company! I want to meet the Chairman!"

...

"Finally, we arrived amidst the thunderstorm, Chairman. That's the situation."

Electric Cat 333 concluded its recollection.

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work."

He walked out of the elevator of Jade City and made his way to Saint George's Church.

It was dark, windy, and still pouring rain.

Yuan Xiao held an umbrella, keeping Zhou Yi from getting wet.

Zhou Yi placed his hand on the rain-soaked, reddish-brown wall of the church.

Energy input, consciousness syncing initiated.

"Saint George's Church."

"Are you... the Chairman?"

"Yes, that's me."

"You are a Dragonslayer, I am also a Dragonslayer! We are kin!"

Zhou Yi was momentarily at a loss for words.

"I once slew a dragon, really. On the land I was on, there appeared an evil dragon, threatening the local inhabitants to offer live sacrifices."

"People still lived there then. They believed in me and requested my help. This briefly activated the Dragonslayer Saint George state, granting me unprecedented strength and confidence, and I killed the dragon!"

Saint George lamented: "But ever since then, I haven't encountered any dragons. My dragon-slaying skills have gone unutilized, which is quite regrettable."

"Surely there are many evil dragons in this world? Please tell me, and I will eliminate them!"

"Hold on a moment..."

Zhou Yi turned to activate the dragon crest mark.

A disgruntled voice sounded from within the mark: "I'm selecting a new successor, what's the matter?"

Zhou Yi inquired about the Dragonslayer Saint George.

"That's true."

The dragon was rather straightforward: "Someone performed rituals and sacrifices to summon me to slaughter humans in that area. On the Western Continent, I often appeared as a beast, both good and bad reputation provided us power."

"That guy's ability restrained me, babbling about 'protection,' 'justice triumphing over evil,' 'fighting for the weak,' and other strange remarks... quite powerful."

"Seeing no benefit in continuing the fight, I pretended to die."

Zhou Yi recalled.

The dragon's "Holy Spirit Substitute" could create a clone consciousness, enabling it to escape at the moment of death, returning to the Great Holy Spirit.

This was a retreating divine skill.

The dragon continued: "Its abilities are closely related to me; the stronger I am, the more it needs to fight me, basically using me to spread its fame and influence."

"Whether it wins or not, mentioning dragons naturally led to discussing Dragonslayers."

It sneered: "It's like a piece of dog poop. If you step on it, you lose; if you defeat it, there's no gain. Encountering it is just bad luck. Dragonslayers are merely a title leeching off our name."

Zhou Yi felt the dragon's words seemed to be subtly aimed at him.

Unfortunately, there was no evidence.

He severed the connection.

Zhou Yi refocused on Saint George: "Besides your dragon-slaying experiences, do you have any other talents or particular skills?"

"I have combat experience! Though I lose more than I win..."

Saint George added: "I also have the 'Savior's Creed.'"

That name sounded like a special mechanism.

Zhou Yi became interested: "What are its effects? How strong is it?"

"I'm unclear about the Savior's specific strength. However, this trait allows me to gain power from protecting the weak, rescuing the defenseless, and eliminating disasters."

Saint George explained: "As long as someone vows a creed within me, adhering to their pledged creed, every battle, win or lose, leads to power growth."

"The more people holding the Savior's Creed, and the more creeds fulfilled, the stronger I become."

"In this world, everyone can be a savior!"

Zhou Yi thought of a question: "With such a creed, can a simple promise suffices? For example, giving water to someone thirsty."

"There are such instances, but the difficulty of the creed is proportional to the power gained. Greater rescue difficulty results in greater power, derived from the connection with the Consciousness of the Dragonslayer Saint George."

"If it's a simple creed, there may be little power increase."

Zhou Yi understood.

The core mechanism balanced difficulty and reward.

That seemed acceptable.

Now that Jade City's residents' incomes had increased and lives had improved, spiritual pursuits and cultural development should also advance.

Having Saint George uphold some positive creeds, encouraging mutual help, seemed quite good.

Zhou Yi said solemnly: "Welcome to the company."

"You accept me? Thank you!"

Saint George excitedly said: "When will we slay dragons?"

"..."

Zhou Yi thought for a moment: "You need more training first. If you can't even handle a tank, how can you fight the dragons now? They are very strong. You should develop and learn properly first."

Saint George agreed: "You're right! I'll work hard to hone my strength!"
