Necromancer Farming Notes Figure Master

Chapter 903 Waste

……

"Vic? Vic? Still thinking about the answer to that question? Wake up, we're here." The dragon girl gently shook Vic, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

They had arrived at the Capitol Building. Looking at the magnificent building and the various elites moving freely around, the Dragon Girl felt both excited and nervous.

"We've arrived..." Vic was somewhat dazed. He had been deeply contemplating that problem for the past two days, so engrossed that he had almost forgotten he was supposed to attend a congressional meeting.

"Ahem! Vic... don't be nervous, just read the speech I prepared." The dragon girl said excitedly.

“I’m not nervous, I just want to play freely,” Vic said calmly.

"Huh? Are you alright? Have you finished your draft? Why don't you tell me now, and I'll help you adjust it." The dragon girl was a little anxious.

"No need." Vic turned his head slightly and looked at the dragon girl behind him.

Seeing the excited light in the dragon girl's eyes, Vic felt more and more that his pursuits were not the same as hers.

Perhaps after this meeting, the Dragon Girl will be greatly disappointed in his performance, and their relationship will likely come to an end. Vic was already prepared for this.

"..." The Dragon Girl looked at Vic's calm expression and felt a sense of appreciation.

What she admires most about Vic is his perpetually calm demeanor.

They were surrounded by important figures, people they rarely saw in person, only in the news. But now, these important figures were right there in front of them.

Not only that, but security guards outside the venue actively maintained order inside, and reporters from all walks of life rushed forward, with flashes of light constantly going off like a sky full of stars.

Faced with such a formal and serious scene, it would be difficult for ordinary people to remain calm. The Dragon Girl considered herself to have a strong mental fortitude, but even she couldn't help but feel excited upon arriving here.

However, Vic showed no excitement from beginning to end; his aura was no less than anyone else's here.

Seeing this, the Dragon Girl adjusted her thoughts slightly and then said, "Alright then! This is your stage, and I believe in you!"

The two then formally entered the country's power center.

With the help of staff, the two were seated in the back.

This row of seats was quite spacious, with no one else besides two security guards not far from them.

"Ah...those sitting in front are all important figures." The Dragon Girl stared silently at the figures in front of her, her thoughts unknown.

Vic remained calm, still pondering the riddle Grek had left him. The external world no longer held any appeal for him; he believed it was all an illusion.

Just then, footsteps sounded behind them.

The dragon girl turned her head and saw a familiar face.

"Dr. Greck? What are you doing here?" Dragon Girl was a little confused.

Greck smiled and sat down beside the two.

“I am a member of parliament, after all. Although I don’t really want to attend this kind of boring meeting, since you two are here, I definitely have to come.”

At this moment, Vic realized what was happening, and he immediately broke into a happy smile. "Hahaha~"

He reached out and shook hands with Grek; both of them looked very happy.

The Dragon Girl breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing familiar faces here eased her pressure considerably.

"Mr. Grek, your seat is in the front row. Let me lead you there," a staff member said as he approached the group.

“Oh, thank you, but no need. These two are my friends, and I’d like to sit with them,” Grek replied.

"Um... okay." The staff member nodded, then carefully looked at the Dragon Girl and Vic, and left after quickly memorizing their faces.

“Mr. Grek, it’s been a long time! I’ve been looking for you for ages, I didn’t expect to find you sitting here.” A handsome middle-aged man walked over.

He was also a member of parliament, but his secret identity was actually that of a newly elected bishop. He would definitely come over to greet Pope Greck when he saw him.

"Hello." Grek nodded slightly, his expression indifferent.

“You don’t mind me sitting here, do you?” the congressman said.

"Please have a seat," Grek nodded.

"Thank you~"

The dragon girl watched this scene with a somewhat subtle expression. Because at this moment, Grek was exuding an aura of authority.

That aura made the dragon girl somewhat afraid.

Seemingly sensing the dragon girl's feelings, Grek turned to her and gave her a smile.

And this smile was so gentle, as if the aura that Grek had just exuded was an illusion.

The dragon girl's smile was somewhat stiff, and only then did she realize that she seemed to have been ignoring something all along.

That's the approachable Dr. Grecker, who is actually a legendary figure!

Before the dragon girl could think further, she saw more and more people gathering around Grek. They all greeted Grek and sat down around him.

Soon after, a very bizarre scene unfolded on the spot.

That is, many seats in the front row were empty, while the back row was packed full.

The staff on site were also somewhat overwhelmed, but they dared not say anything. The situation was rather alarming. Their keen sense of smell made them extremely hesitant to utter a sound.

Meanwhile, the Dragon Girl, surrounded by the crowd, slowly stiffened. She sat upright, her large eyes glancing left and right.

"Oh my god... what's going on? Isn't it a bit too crowded here???" The dragon girl's mind went blank.

Greck's energy seemed far more terrifying than she had imagined.

She couldn't help but reach out her small hand and touch Vic's large hand, as if only in this way could she ease the tension in her heart.

At this moment, many eyes were drawn to the front row of the hall, scrutinizing the unusual situation. The conversations in the room gradually subsided.

The number of members of parliament surrounding Grecker was almost one-sixth of the members present.

"What a promising young man... Isn't this Mr. Greck the one running for Minister of Health? He's so young..."

"Yes. I heard he has some connection with the president."

"No wonder..."

It was at this meeting that all the important figures present remembered Grecker.

The president did not attend this meeting, but the vice president did. Therefore, this meeting was of a very high level.

With everyone present, the meeting began.

"...A devastating fire caused us unbearable losses, taking away not only numerous elites but also countless assets. Its arrival led to the bankruptcy of many companies..."

The vice president took the stage and solemnly recounted the ferocity of the fire and the losses it caused.

"...Even in the face of such a natural disaster, many brave individuals rushed into the inferno to protect people's lives and property. Their sacrifices deserve to be remembered..."

Next, the vice president began reading a list of fallen firefighters.

Reporters in the audience frantically took photos of this scene, and the atmosphere in the venue became somewhat heavy.

"...The dead cannot be brought back, but the living must move forward. The losses already caused are beyond our control. However, some surviving heroes still need our help..."

The vice president then began reading a list of firefighters who were still alive.

The Dragon Girl in the audience had slightly red eyes, her heart filled with excitement. The efforts of Vic and the others had finally received official recognition.

The dragon girl turned to look at Vic, but Vic's expression remained calm. Most of the others around them wore similar expressions.

The Dragon Girl was stunned, somewhat confused. Why did everyone seem so indifferent? Wasn't this a scene that should have been touching?

Greck turned to her and said, "Let's see what kind of compensation they can offer. But don't get your hopes up too high. Verbal praise is meaningless, especially since it's so late."

"Hehe~ I don't think this meeting will be fruitless. This lady had better prepare herself for the worst."

"Yes, many insurance companies have gone bankrupt. Even if they haven't, they prioritize compensating the wealthy and politicians who were burned to death. It will probably be a long time before it's your turn."

"Moreover, if it weren't for the public outcry caused by Mr. Grecker, Congress wouldn't have even organized this meeting."

"Yeah~"

"The main purpose of Congress is to quell public opinion. The public's attention is limited. As long as the meeting drags on, they will be attracted by other news and forget about this matter."

The councilors sitting around whispered among themselves.

"..." Hearing this, the Dragon Girl's heart gradually cooled down.

Greck had said something similar to her before, but she still held onto a sliver of hope. Now, after hearing what everyone had said, she accepted the truth.

And what happened next was no different from what everyone had said.

The people present discussed for a long time about how to provide actual compensation, but they could not come up with a definite solution.

Looking at the chaotic scene, Vic yawned.

The Dragon Girl, however, had a different feeling. She felt that the meeting room was like a vegetable market. Or rather, even a vegetable market would be better than the current situation.

After all, a solution can be reached through discussion in a farmers' market, but not here.

In that instant, the filter in the Dragon Girl's heart shattered.

She had assumed that communication among the upper class would be efficient and concise, but now it seems she was mistaken.

"I believe the compensation issue should be resolved by the capital's own finances..."

"No, that's clearly over budget. I hope the states can lend us a hand, since the compensation isn't much..."

"There aren't many, but we need to standardize our procedures this time. In other words, this operation will affect how we handle similar incidents in the future."

“Each state’s fiscal spending is planned, and it’s difficult to allocate funds to support the capital. If you are willing to lend money, we certainly can…”

"Are you even speaking human language? Those firefighting heroes risked their lives to save us! What good will it do to give them some compensation?"

"Free of charge? Are you kidding me? If you're willing to pay, I'll definitely agree!"

"..."

buzz~

The councilors were arguing heatedly, seemingly very concerned about the matter and looking for a solution.

But all they talked about was empty words; none of them could come up with an effective solution.

The dragon girl slowly clenched her small fists; she wanted to stand up and offer her thoughts. She felt that resolving this matter was actually quite simple. But why couldn't those important figures think of it?

Just as she was about to get up, Grek shook his head at her.

"As for the compensation for those firefighters, isn't this an easy thing to resolve? Why is everyone..." Dragon Girl couldn't help but complain.

Seeing the dragon girl's restless advances, Grek sighed. Perhaps he should tell her some of the truth to dissuade her from such thoughts.
