Alternate Dimension Game: Happiness is all that matters!

The other 27 people in the meeting room fell silent.

Even Elder No. 1 was shocked by this guy's train of thought.

Everyone was pondering the future of human life and death, only to find No. 24 thinking about funding issues, wanting to freeload off the "Demon God"!

This guy really had unique and unconventional insights!

But on second thought, funding issues have always been the biggest challenge for the development of science!

Even now, with a prosperous nation and strong citizens, we are far from reaching a stage of extreme wealth.

A highly anthropomorphic robot could cost several million, and each city's branch would need to equip several of them;

Training an Investigator who can fly an airplane might cost tens of millions;

The prices for some supernatural items are even more exorbitant, with various scientific experiments easily costing tens of millions, or even a hundred million. If one could freeload...

Moreover, there are training camps that accelerate learning!

Accelerate learning... That's accelerating learning, a 10-fold increase in learning speed means boundless inspiration and the ultimate focus ability.

Unimaginable!

Minutes later, someone retorted, "We, the people of Great Xia, don't believe in gods... It's our cultural heritage, we can't rashly change that."

No. 24 laughed and said, "I'm not asking you to believe in divine beings, just to use each other mutually. Supernatural phenomena are not always twisting and detrimental for humanity."

"It sounds a bit like... let me think, movies, novels, or TV dramas that Li Qingshan described."

"Isn't it just like that? Everything is unfolding according to a script, and he himself is like a puppet on strings, with only a little freedom of action."

"I have a bold thought; this Demon God is like a movie, a novel, a game, oh, that's right, the Main God Space in a web novel, a kind of strong Rule-type supernatural phenomenon."

"If the 'Demon God' really is the Main God Space, then a lot of things can be explained."

"Of course, it could also be other types of things, at least my intuition tells me that it's not necessarily completely harmful."

Then someone said bluntly, "Intuition? Intuition is the least acceptable argument. Over a decade ago, a tsunami accidentally triggered by a Subordinate Demon God directly caused the death and injury of two hundred thousand people. Can you bear the responsibility if the assessment is wrong?"

When it came to the disaster over a decade ago, the atmosphere of the meeting became tense again.

Yes, even a Subordinate Demon God was not something that current humanity could afford to provoke lightly.

No. 24 shook his head unhurriedly, "I still suggest that you read some web novels, especially the classic 'limited horror.' The world is changing, and everything needs to keep up with the times."

"Methodologies of the past might not be effective today."

"If we can't defeat the formidable oddities from the Etheric Abyss, then we need to use the limits of our imagination to accept them. It's unrealistic to want to completely suppress these things, a supernatural product that can change timelines, what power do we humans have to destroy it?"

Thus, this led to a debate and struggle among the factions of "acceptance," "coexistence," and "containment."

Listening to the debates among the younger generation, several old-timers felt bewildered. Elder No. 1, the eldest of them all, touched his head and a few more of his sparse hairs fell out.

Their usual entertainment included watching Peking Opera, fishing, and scrolling through TikTok. Suddenly, they were advised to watch "limited horror," which was almost driving them insane!

At this point, Elder No. 1, who had been pondering the "auspicious" signs with droopy eyelids, saw that the discussion was almost over, and finally began to mediate: "Alright, let's all stop arguing and hear me out."

After all, No. 1 was the eldest and had an imposing aura; the room quickly quieted down from the bickering.

No. 1 stated, "The result of the Divination is—auspicious."

"However, the result of the Divination can only be taken as a reference and is not necessarily completely accurate."

"Since Li Qingshan claims he can reach a special training camp through the flames in his mind, and No. 24 believes that the Demon God's true form is a Main God Space that can be utilized by humans; with Gua Xiang indication being 'auspicious', for the time being, let's classify the safety level of this matter as Grade A."

"So, who dares to find this training camp and take a look inside?"

The venue instantly fell silent.

Everyone present was at the pinnacle of humanity, but faced with a "Demon God," they were no different than a flatworm.

Humans have their limits, while oddities do not.

The only advantage humans had was their higher level of rationality and self-consciousness. The more powerful the Demon God, the harder it was for them to possess self-consciousness; this seemed to be one of the rules we had discovered so far.

The middle-aged man with a cigarette in his mouth, also known as Number 12, sighed and said, "I'll go. I'll check out that training camp."

As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted everyone's gaze.

Number 12 was indeed one of the best candidates when it came to the ability to save his own life.

After making up his mind, Number 12 began to make big demands, "I need a dummy, and I also need some time to prepare, to be fully rested; otherwise, I might die on the way before I even see a Demon God."

Number 1 answered, "Fine."

Number 12 then named names, "Number 24, you mentioned a full set of tech support equipment, bring me one set. I'm about to go solo against a Demon God, borrowing a bit from you isn't too much, right?"

Number 24, with much pain, bled a fortune; a full set of tech equipment, that was burning through funds, hard-earned funds!

Still, he stroked his glasses and said, "Watch your wording. You're not facing a Demon God in a duel, just conducting an investigation. I'll provide the equipment you need."

Number 12 called out again, "The lady to the right, 20 Immortal Beans, that's not too much, right?"

The lady in question was somewhat petite and had been listening on the side. When she was named, she seemed frightened by his tone and stammered, "I only have 10, at most 10. I can't provide more, really, I don't have more."

...

...

Number 12, named Lu Tianming, was a 45-year-old S-class Investigator of the Black-clothed Guard.

He was scowling and sadly requesting stuff in the video conference, about to make contact with an "unknown Demon God," his expression as gloomy as could be, looking as if someone owed him a billion.

"Number 19, Conch Headphones, hand them over."

"Okay."

"Number 3, Rune Blade, I need to have some means of self-defense, right?"

"Fine."

But in reality, Lu Tianming was trembling with excitement.

Ahahaha!

For this expedition, those crafty old guys finally brought out their treasured goods!

This was even more profitable than a robbery!

Stepping out of the room, Lu Tianming said cheerfully to his young assistant, "Xiao Guo, help me book a flight ticket. I'm going to Kunlun Mountain, to investigate what happened to Li Qingshan."

"Sure!" The assistant quickly agreed, unfazed by the expressions of his superior.

Whether the sky was falling down, he had been crushed in a game, or lost money gambling, Lu Tianming always had that annoying look on his face.

But in reality, this superior was a person with superhuman abilities, bold yet meticulous, brimming with ways to save his own skin.

The assistant asked, "Do you need me to go with you?"

"No need, the mission this time is highly confidential, I will use the 'Stairway to Heaven' and go to a special place. You wouldn't be of any help anyway."
