Chapter 179: Can You Transform into a Giraffe?

Tony quickly finalized the plan for the modification of the Spirit Ship with Banner based on Oaks' framework and proposed his own suggestions.

He put in a lot of effort and even arranged for strategic resources like the Arc Reactor to be directly installed on the Spirit Ship.

In return, Oaks' Spring of Vitality potion would at least allow him to get a good night's sleep.

After Oaks built the preliminary makeshift dormitories on the Spirit Ship, he relocated all the core members of the Benevolence Society onto it.

They were Oaks' most loyal subordinates, or perhaps it would be more accurate to call them his most faithful believers...

They were no longer surprised by the countless miracles performed by their leader.

If Oaks said that there was a gigantic extraterrestrial creature at the center of the Earth, they would probably believe it.

Furthermore, Oaks personally received the visit of the enthusiastic young people from the "New Druidism."

In his capacity as the true Celtic Druid inheritor, he managed to bewilder this group of people to the point where they almost fell on their knees.

Having witnessed the miracles of the Little Rainforest and examined the Benevolence Society's activity records and mission statements, more than half of them immediately expressed their desire to join the Benevolence Society.

After all, this was an organization founded by a genuine Druid!

Oaks didn't refuse their requests. He called Blaze and had him bring these young people who wished to stay down to explain the assessment process for joining the Benevolence Society.

These hot-headed youngsters, do their families know what they're up to?

When dealing with these young people, psychological guidance was crucial to help them truly understand what they were about to undertake.

The Benevolence Society wasn't an organization that just anyone could join. It required not just fanaticism towards Druidism but fanaticism towards the environmental mission.

For those young people who were only interested in boasting to their friends when they went back home, Oaks would arrange for someone to send them away.

However, there were also individuals with special purposes.

For example, Oaks was approached by a curly-haired young man after the exchange ended.

"Um... Chairman Oaks, hello!"

The young man was probably in his early twenties, just graduated from university or something like that.

He looked at Oaks with excitement and a hint of unease as he extended his hand.

"I'm Dane, um... sorry, I'm not a part of 'New Druidism', I just heard about the visit when I attended the Summer Solstice celebration at Stonehenge."

"So you just came along?"

Oaks was a little curious. He shook hands with Dane and noted that he was an ordinary person with nothing particularly special about him. He probably wasn't some hidden old monster.

"So you specifically came to find me?"

"Yes, Chairman Oaks."

Dane felt a comforting aura coming from the Avenger, Druid, who was only a few years older than him.

His nervousness quickly dissipated and turned into curiosity, which had always been there.

"Um... if you don't mind me asking, can you transform into a giraffe?"

"...-"

Oaks' expression became peculiar.

"I can transform into a reindeer, but a giraffe... I haven't tried that yet. Why do you ask?"

"Really, you can transform into a deer..."

Dane's eyes lit up, and he became excited.

"Sorry, um... ever since I was a child, I've always dreamed of turning into a giraffe someday!

Chairman Oaks, could you... teach me how to do it?"

"Um..."

Oaks wiped his sweat. This kid is too...

"Sorry, I haven't figured out how to teach this ability to others yet. After all, it was an experimental accident, just a coincidence that aligned with the legends."

He still used the same reason he had always given publicly. Currently, only Ancient One and Banner knew that he was the true Celtic Druid inheritor.

Others might have guessed that Oaks was the true Druid... In fact, many people had made such guesses, but there was no need for him to actively come forward and proclaim it, right?

"I see..."

Dane sighed disappointedly, but then his curiosity was piqued again.

"Chairman Oaks, I'm very interested in paleontology, and I've applied for an internship at the Natural History Museum in London.

From our conversation just now, it's evident that you have a deep understanding of Celtic history, and in terms of biology, you are an authority among authorities."

Dane became more excited as he spoke. Originally, he had planned to work at the museum after his internship, but now it seemed like he would have to change his plans.

"In fact, my uncle is also very interested in these things...

Ah, he's a genetics Ph.D. from the University of Oxford and loves to study the history of the Arthurian era.

Although I've learned a lot about these subjects, I don't have a good relationship with him because of family matters—

Can I stay here for a while and learn paleontology from you?"

"Of course, no problem. You're actually the first among them to realize that this is a sanctuary for biology."

Oaks possessed the "Utopia" - Avalon. If it weren't for mobility issues, he would have even considered moving the headquarters of the Benevolence Society there.

The matter of King Arthur was likely related to the Eternals. Now that a young man with a good family background and compatible temperament had arrived, Oaks certainly wouldn't refuse him.

"In that case, why don't you go rest for a while? The Benevolence Society has prepared some dormitories for you visitors. The conditions are not excellent, but they're relatively clean and tidy."

"Thank you very much, Chairman Oaks!"

Dane hesitated for a moment before speaking up:

"In fact, I'm starting to become interested in the Benevolence Society as well, even though I'm not a part of 'New Druidism'..."

"I never said that only 'New Druidism' members can join the Benevolence Society."

Oaks raised an eyebrow.

"The Benevolence Society welcomes anyone who loves nature, is passionate about environmental public welfare, and has a noble ideal of restoring the ecological balance for the benefit of humanity, regardless of their background."

"I won't let those young people who just came in join the Benevolence Society directly. They, like everyone else, will have to go through an assessment. So, you don't need to worry. You can participate in the assessment together and confirm if you truly love this work."

"I see!"

Dane excitedly muttered to himself, while Oaks took out his phone.

"Hello? Jack? Yeah, come over to the Little Rainforest. There's someone who wants to participate in the membership assessment. Take him for registration and then to his accommodation."

A few minutes later, a tall and thin youth dashed out from the office area, shouting from a distance:

"Chairman! Where is he?"

"Here."

Oaks waved his hand, and Jack ran over while non-stop blabbering :

"Chairman, you won't believe it! Some of those guys just now were underage and ran away from home without their families knowing!

Just with registration alone, we'll have to send back at least a third of them!"

"...-"

Oaks looked at Dane with a peculiar expression, and the latter quickly shook his head.

"Not me, I didn't... I'm of legal age, and it has nothing to do with my uncle!"

"Alright, this is Jack Wood, the assistant of the vice president of the Benevolence Society. Go with him."

"Okay, Chairman Oaks."

Dane shook hands with Jack.

"Dane Whitman, nice to meet you."
