Then, Douglas pulled out his rocket launcher and fired at the Giant Wolf.
As for Gaia, he was outside the altar.
Holding onto the mounted machine gun, he took aim at the giant wolf.
"Ratatatata!"
The muzzle flash of the machine gun and the blood splatter from the giant wolf mashed together like a piece of modern art. As the giant wolves continued their charge, Gaia continued his barrage.
Even if they had high defense levels, they could not withstand the power of the machine gun.
Gaia was very shocked. Even William and Brad's jaws dropped
"How did a confidential video like this end up on the Internet?" William said in surprise.
Gaia then opened the comment section of the video.
However, contrary to his expectations, the comment section was really flooded by "Mushu Exploration Diary" comments!
TopUniversityStudent: "If it wasn't for the fact that this video was released by an officially verified user, I would've thought that this was all CGI!"
FemaleAnimeClubMember: [Picture of Gaia on the machine gun] "Either way, Mr. Advisor looks soooo cool in this video! Let me introduce you, this is my new husband, call me Mrs. Advisor!"
Asaka: [Picture of Gaia with gold-rimmed glasses] "Does anyone else think that gold-rimmed glasses would look good on my hubby? I really dig that classy bad boy look he has!"
MisakaMikoto: [Picture of William] "Does no one else think that this big blonde guy is super handsome? I've already made a screensaver out of that scene of him tanking the giant wolf's attack with his shield."
IsAFlyingDuck: [Picture of a giant wolf] "This planet is so dangerous. These monsters look HUGE. And that's just around the altar. There must be even crazier monsters somewhere out there."
LilMonkInTraining: "Y'all are falling for a movie trailer. Think about it, how could this be real!"
The comments section really flooded...
Gaia felt that this matter might not as simple as he thought, so he quickly opened his browser to check.
Soon, the truth was revealed.
At 4:55 a.m. New York Standard Time, the American official government social media suddenly released a video called the "Planet Mushu Exploration Diary".
Within two minutes of its release, the video quickly took over all the livestreaming and video-sharing websites. Yes, even the livestreaming websites had this video, which was 25 minutes and 36 seconds long, dominating their front page.
According to the platforms, due to the government's request, the video would be placed on the top of all social media feeds for a month in order to let the world know that they were exploring this Planet Mushu.
At that time, as soon as anyone connected to the Internet opened their browser, they would be automatically redirected to one of the video streaming websites to watch the video. Even the browser's homepage overwritten. It was like a super nuke on the Internet, being even more effective than a certain mobile game's ad campaign.
The most surprising thing here was that this was actually done intentionally by the US government, most likely to spread the news about this whole endeavor.
At this point, Gaia did not even know what the American government was thinking anymore.
However, he had a sneaking suspicion that for every order issued, there were countless think tanks of various factions busy scheming behind the scenes.
If the government wanted to make such a big deal out of this project, there must be a reason.
...
Gaia returned the phone to the short-haired girl, he wanted to go ask Philip about the situation.
Just as he was about to get up, he was stopped by the short-haired girl and her friend.
"Are you the handsome advisor in the video?" The short-haired girl asked eagerly, her eyes glimmered with curiosity.
Since the girl had helped him so much, he did not hide his identity. He gave her a smile and replied.
"Yeah, that's me!"
"Ah! It really is you. I could recognize someone as handsome you anywhere!" The short-haired girl hugged Gaia and said excitedly.
"Can you wear a pair of gold-rimmed glasses for me? I really want to see you wearing that. It's fine if you don't want to..." The other girl said in a low voice. Halfway through her request immediately realized that it would be troublesome to do so, so she waved her hand and rescinded her request.
"It's fine. I just happen to have a pair of glasses with me."
Gaia took out a pair of glasses from her bag. Inside, there was a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from a brand that Gaia did not know how to pronounce.
Of course, these glasses were just a fashion accessory.
He nonchalantly put on the glasses. Then, using the make-up mirror that the short-haired girl gave him, he straightened up his hair and outfit. Slightly unbuttoning two of the buttons of his shirt, he made a pose and grinned.
At that moment, Gaia's appearance could be considered the epitome of the "Classy Bad Boy" look.
Seeing the two beautiful ladies being completely charmed, one could see how powerful this appearance was.
Since they were greeting the expert team today, he had changed into a suit just for the occasion.
Coupled with the gold-rimmed glasses, he really gave off the aura of a domineering CEO.
His usual style gave him a sort of lazy and casual look.
Today, with him suddenly dressing up like this, he looked extremely eye-catching.
William and Brad were both a bit jealous. Gaia had stolen their thunder.
They did not want Gaia to enjoy this spotlight on his own, so they dragged him out of the canteen.
——————————
At noon, the team of experts finally arrived in Jerusalem.
Bill threw a party to celebrate their arrival.
Gaia was not too fond of these kinds of events due to the stuffy atmosphere, so he did not participate in the usual mingling between strangers.
Instead, he found a remote corner of the banquet and just enjoyed the food.
Just as he picked up a Tiramisu and was about to have a taste, Philip brought a tall girl over.
He then whispered in Gaia's ear.
"Your uncle asked me to bring her over. Don't blame me."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Gaia and the tall girl were left standing there awkwardly.
Gaia was especially embarrassed. There was still cream on his mouth from the Tiramisu, making him look like a messy eater.
"Here, wipe your mouth."
Just as Gaia was thinking of how to break the ice, the tall girl handed him a handkerchief and said softly.
"Thank you." Gaia took the handkerchief and thanked her.
Then, the tall girl stretched out her right hand and said.
"My name is Christina Samuel. You can call me Tina."
"Gaia."
"I know, you're my fiancé. I actually came here just for this reason." Christina said.
"Oh! Then, what do you think about this situation?" Gaia said.
Christina pulled Gaia to sit on the sofa at the side.
She did not continue the topic but instead brought up another topic.
"I know your ex-girlfriend, Millie. She's a junior in the same department as me."
"What a coincidence! It's really fate then." Gaia joked and tried to look back through his memories.
Which ex-girlfriend was Millie again?
