Chapter 561 The Biggest Problem: The Pill Emperor Has No Directions!
"Oh dear! Nephew, you're coming without even telling me!"
The moment Loz saw Li Luochen behind the desk, the gloom on his face vanished instantly.
He stood up abruptly from his chair, strode around the desk, and walked over as if the frustration he had felt while reviewing the materials had never existed. He opened his arms with a broad smile.
"I came ahead of you because I saw you were too busy, Uncle Rose." Li Luochen greeted him with a smile, and Rose put his arm around his shoulder and patted his back.
Dan Di stood at the door, watching this scene, and then blinked.
Although he already knew about this relationship downstairs, seeing President Rose greet a young man with such unexpected enthusiasm that it was completely different from his usual demeanor still made him scratch his head.
"Then this must be Cattleya, right?"
Loz released Li Luochen, turned to look at the blonde girl standing behind him, and his gaze lingered for a moment on her dazzling blonde hair.
Although he had never met Cattleya in person, he had heard of his sister-in-law's beautiful blonde hair, so he naturally guessed in that direction.
"Oh, no, she's Kathisia," Li Luochen quickly corrected.
Loz paused slightly, his outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and he turned to look at Li Luochen with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
"It seems our eldest nephew is also preparing to expand his family's influence."
Loz withdrew his hand, gave Li Luochen a meaningful look, and his smile deepened.
His eyes held a mix of amusement and a father's satisfaction, as if to say, "Good job, kid, you're better than your dad."
Katishia hadn't yet grasped what "strengthening the family" meant, and blinked blankly.
Li Luochen understood, his ears turning slightly red, and he quickly waved his hand, "Uncle, please don't make fun of me as soon as we meet."
Dan Di stood at the door, looking left and right, and finally couldn't help but interject, "Um... Guild Master, I'm still here."
"Ahem, let's get down to business then."
Loz coughed twice, his joking expression fading, and turned to walk back behind his desk.
The atmosphere in the office changed immediately. The warmth of the relatives' meeting gradually subsided, replaced by the chairman's usual composure when working.
Seeing this, Li Luochen tactfully prepared to take his leave: "Then I'll be going now."
"It's okay, you can listen to it too."
Loz raised his hand, gesturing for him to stay. His gaze lingered on Li Luochen for a moment, and his tone was calm yet brooked no refusal: "Since you're here, sit down and listen. You'll find out sooner or later anyway."
Dan Di glanced at Loz with some surprise, then at Li Luochen, but didn't say anything.
Li Luochen and Katishia exchanged a glance, then sat down on the sofa next to them.
"Come on, take a look at this."
Loz pushed a report in front of Dante; the data on it was not complicated.
The countdown to the depletion of energy resources in the Galar region has begun: 998 years!
After reading it, Dan Di looked up, a hint of confusion on his face: "Guild Master, isn't this a bit too hasty? There's still almost a thousand years to go."
He was simply confused. In nearly a thousand years, too many things could have changed, so why start to feel anxious now?
Loz leaned back in his chair, his fingers interlaced on the table, and looked intently at Dan: "Dan, do you think nine hundred and ninety-eight years is a long time?"
Without waiting for Dan Di's reply, he continued, "For ordinary people, it is indeed very long."
"Long enough for a civilization to go from primitive farming to the stars and the sea, long enough for several generations to live a peaceful life."
"But for me, for Galar, this number is just a countdown."
He stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the brightly lit city below.
"Do you know what sustains all of this? It's Voidana. The entire energy lifeline of Galar is tied to it."
"As long as it remains under control, this city can continue to function for 998 years, or even longer."
"But have you considered what if one day it gets out of control?"
Loz turned around, his gaze falling on Dan Di. There was no anxiety in his eyes, only an almost cold calmness.
"By then, let alone 998 years."
"In an instant, Galar will be reduced to ruins."
"I'm not worrying about a thousand years from now; I'm preparing for the day that could come at any moment."
He walked back to his desk and lightly tapped his finger on the report.
"Therefore, someone must be able to subdue Anuttara."
"It's not about machines, not about the protective measures of energy plants, but about having someone who can truly make it bow down."
"And that person is you, Emperor Dan."
Loz raised his head and looked directly into Dan's eyes.
"You are a once-in-a-millennium genius in the Galar region."
"If I miss you, the next person who can shoulder this responsibility may not appear even in a thousand years."
"I have no room to wait another thousand years, nor does Galar."
"Now that you've entered this era, I must ensure that when that day comes, you'll be at the forefront!"
With such a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, anyone else might have already looked solemn or even wanted to give up.
But Dan didn't even frown, as if what Rose had entrusted to him was just a trivial matter.
After listening, he thought about it seriously for a moment, and then expressed his concerns in an almost simple manner: "There are too many things happening in the Galar region lately, and the champion is needed everywhere. I'm afraid I won't be able to get there in time."
Dan Di did not refuse; he was simply considering the schedule.
Subduing Mugentana was not a problem for him at all.
Unfortunately, there seem to be too many difficulties in the Galar region.
Loz was stunned for a moment by his reaction, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.
This Pill Emperor certainly didn't disappoint him.
However, the smile on Loz's face did not last long before his expression darkened.
Dan Di is right.
In the entire Galar region, there are actually very few trainers who can truly be called pillars of the organization.
He counts himself as one, Dante as one, and Chibana as one.
There are only three people who can be stationed in Galar and ready to respond to crises at any time.
Of the three, he, as the chairman, was mostly tied to the office and the decision-making level; while Chibana, who guarded the gym, also had his own responsibilities.
The only person who can be mobilized at any time is practically only the Pill Emperor...
Lorz was silent for a moment, then tapped his fingers lightly twice on the table.
Ultimately, this burden could only fall on Emperor Dan's shoulders.
But problems followed one after another.
What if Emperor Dan is tied up with other things and can't get here in a while?
An even more troublesome fact lay before him.
Dante has absolutely no sense of direction. This isn't just a rumor; it's an open secret known throughout Galar.
A champion like him could wander around Gongmen City for an hour without finding his destination. If he hadn't run into Li Luochen and that guide today, he would probably still be staring blankly at a map at some intersection.
No matter how strong your fighting ability is, it's all for nothing if you can't get to the scene in time.
Loz rubbed his temples, the slight smile from just moments before vanished without a trace. He remained silent for a while before slowly exhaling, "We need to think of a way."
