Three and a half billion Constant Gold Coins!
Just how rich was the Abnormal Creature Laboratory?!
When Xu Nan confirmed the exact amount, he couldn't help but feel sour.
Over the past few days, he had tried using his position as director of the Psychological Health Management Department to apply for several projects concerning mental health issues. The higher-ups had been quite cooperative, but in the end, they tactfully informed Xu Nan that while the projects would certainly be approved—
