Chapter 844 448: Go Big or Go Boom!
"The feeling of being exiled to the frontier is truly unpleasant; even the quality of the shuttle is appallingly bad," Gu Shanhai complained.
Today marks three months since he left the Xuandao Alliance's ancestral star, drifting continuously through the universe, occasionally stopping at certain planets.
This shuttle is really just a spacecraft, but its speed is indeed slow. The resource planet Gu Shanhai wants to survey is expected to take a year to reach.
Luckily, the shuttle has internet, allowing Gu Shanhai to go online via a terminal and stay informed about various matters.
The university scandal exploded a month ago, though it was quickly covered up. It was already sealed off when there was only a trickle of information at first, with no corresponding noises.
There were only some simple announcements stating that rumors of experimental failures had emerged within the university due to certain issues, with no further information.
In the subsequent month, it should have been a political skirmish, seeing who would be the scapegoat and who could bring out enough to pacify the situation.
Anyway, there's been no result until now.
What's certain is that Gu Shanhai's "Heavenly Blood Technique" has become the focus of the skirmish, and he could sense that people have been constantly mentioning him during this time.
Clearly, someone presented the technique without covering their tracks, allowing others to discover it.
Of course, for the higher-ups, there's no need to investigate to know what's going on. When a young person who spends all day scheming for power, and can't enter a lab even once in a year, suddenly presents such a groundbreaking scientific result, anyone would know how it came about.
Everyone turns a blind eye, mentioning Gu Shanhai only to decide whether to ensure he never returns or to make him disappear.
After all, the scandal already covered up one major bombshell, and if another one breaks out, it would be quite tricky, so the best way is to deal with it.
But the problem is, this "Heavenly Blood Technique" was developed by Gu Shanhai, and if anything goes wrong in the future, there wouldn't even be an after-sale service.
They want both the credit and to shift the responsibility, which is very difficult.
The best way, of course, is to control the other party, imprison them, and make them serve you.
Such unspoken rules are tacitly accepted among the higher-ups, a group of people without any power, who aren't even considered people in their eyes.
Gu Shanhai was aware of this malice, but he didn't take it to heart.
Because they would soon be too busy to trouble Gu Shanhai, as they believed they had covered up the university's mess, but Gu Shanhai had already planted a bigger disaster for them before leaving.
Like academic fraud, and the drawbacks of the "Blood Returning Technique," among others.
Both are actually true, though the drawbacks of the "Blood Returning Technique" are mostly exaggerations and speculations.
But it depends on who releases it. Gu Shanhai left this for Qin Shang.
He isn't having an easy time now, not to mention the outcome after losing value, just his life post-expulsion isn't going well.
His once glamorous life is gone, and he is constantly manipulated.
He can be said to hate Liu Fengxu to the bone, and as for Gu Shanhai, he also bears a grudge, though it's not as intense, and he's more filled with regret, wishing he hadn't been greedy.
Good fortune can't buy foresight, and once something happens, it's too late.
Luckily, Gu Shanhai is still very kind-hearted and gave him a chance for revenge. As long as he seizes it, he will surely succeed in vengeance.
Yes, Gu Shanhai left him a notebook, which detailed various experimental finances and the unspoken rules in the university.
Once exposed, combined with Gu Shanhai's halfway demise, the authenticity will immediately skyrocket, especially as the university hid the drawbacks of the "Blood Returning Technique" for money. This could ignite the entire Xuandao Alliance.
The outcome would be a slap on the wrist, at most a condemnation online, and certainly, no further action.
In contrast, the "Heavenly Blood Technique" could then emerge and suppress everything.
Gu Shanhai has already noticed that quite a few people are cultivating the "Heavenly Blood Technique," acting as trial subjects, essentially guinea pigs.
Otherwise, how would the Xuandao Alliance's higher-ups dare to confirm the cultivation technique's authenticity?
This is destined to be a long process, though nobody knows how long it will take.
'Who knows if the other side will act in desperation once this settles down,' Gu Shanhai mused with amusement.
This storm won't last long; even if it does break out, it would last no more than ten days. If the "Heavenly Blood Technique" checks out, a few scapegoats are all it would take without impacting the upper ranks.
As Gu Shanhai was deep in thought, he suddenly noticed a particular trending topic skyrocketing to the top online at a terrifying speed.
Upon closer inspection, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appears."
"I didn't expect Qin Shang to be so bold, releasing it now," he remarked.
Gu Shanhai looked at the online trending topic, clicked to see it was indeed the notebook he left Qin Shang. Inside, it recorded a plethora of university secrets, and most strikingly, numerous issues with the "Blood Returning Technique." The article subtly indicated that these drawbacks couldn't be made public because Experiment No.1 couldn't be halted.
