The call ended.
Nymph breathed a sigh of relief, canceled her avatar, and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
When communicating with the other party, Su Xi considered many ways to make contact, but the most effective, the fastest to mobilize, and the most likely to incite hatred was to play the role of a superior alien, an advanced civilization that wanted to watch humans and monsters 'fight crickets'.
Of course, to achieve this, one must possess absolute strength.
Coincidentally, Nymph Avatar's Hacker Intrusion skills completely overwhelmed the information technology of this era.
"Nymph's avatar should not be shown to outsiders easily in the future. Otherwise, the other party may make some connections."
Of course, it's not a big deal that she's been exposed; the main issue is that Su Xi doesn't want to appear before the country as someone behind the scenes.
Her insistence on notifying the country was not entirely out of patriotism.
Half of the reason is that they don't want their current peaceful environment to change. After the game came to life, they had to fight for food, fight for water, and be careful of poisoning. They also had to be wary of sneak attacks and assassinations if they wanted a place to rest.
It's simply not a life for a human being.
Especially after the chaos began, all forms of security and payment methods became unusable, making the circulation of goods extremely slow and difficult. For a period of time, bartering was even necessary, which was incredibly troublesome.
"In any case, we've done everything we could."
Su Xi sighed.
Even if China ignores her 'game' remarks now, it will lead to a situation of fragmentation among warlords a few months later.
Su Xi also has a way out.
That Portable World isn't just for show. If reality breaks down, you can hide in Portable World and quietly watch the conflicts outside.
Of course, with Su Xi's abilities, she could also choose another path.
That is to become the hegemon.
But even a tyrant is just a high-level employee, who can be domineering and indifferent to the lives and deaths of his subordinates.
But Su Xi thought she couldn't do it.
If she became the overlord, Su Xi felt that she would definitely be busy to death for her followers. Just thinking about it made Su Xi feel that life was too tiring. It would be better not to do it in the first place, stay away from the noise, dust and strife, and be beautiful on her own.
Who understands? Knowing that the end of the world is near, yet having a safe house gives you a sense of security!
Absolutely stunning.
As for her own information, Su Xi simply took out a precaution.
Completely erasing information about herself and Su Yu would only make her more conspicuous, so it's better to put an extra layer of insurance on her information.
Whenever someone searches for the words "Su Xi" or "Su Yu," the program Su Xi placed online will automatically capture the other person's information and then notify her.
You searched my information?
No problem, let me see who you are.
And decide whether or not you need to be humanely eliminated.
"Speaking of which, the rare fruits in the Portable World should all be ripe by now."
Su Xi turned around and logged back into the game to explore the Portable World.
As she expected, the rare fruits were ripe, and the fairies had already picked them and placed them inside the Verdant Treehouse.
Su Xi sold these fruits to the players at market price.
I originally intended to sell it to an NPC, but the NPC said they had a fixed supply channel and didn't want rare fruits from outside sources.
Nicola also suggested that she sell these fruits to the players, since the channels for obtaining rare fruits within the Empire were strictly controlled by the noble elves.
The reason for this might be that, due to the involvement of interests, those suppliers would not want Su Xi's rare fruits.
In short, as the Holy Maiden, she could force the other party to accept these more than a thousand rare fruits, but this would cause dissatisfaction among the noble elves.
Moreover, these NPCs clearly distinguish between native sprites and player sprites.
Simply put, it's like you're a citizen of this country, and now a foreigner has changed their nationality to this country, you can't treat them the same way you would a citizen of this country.
This will take time.
In fact, Su Xi also sensed that apart from the noble elves of the Elf Holy Temple, the other noble elves were outwardly respectful to her, but there was a sense of detachment between them. Ordinary elves, on the other hand, did not have so many reservations and most of them admired her beauty.
These barriers may require Su Xi to continuously complete Saintess missions and gain reputation to eliminate them.
In order to avoid conflict with the noble elves, Su Xi obediently followed Nicola's advice.
He sold these rare fruits, along with the equipment and skill books he had obtained from previous daily tasks, to Mop God of War.
She was quite excited when she first saw these fruits.
In the end, a total of 1,580 Gold Coin were traded.
Su Xi took out 300 Gold Coin and bought 100 bottles of expensive elemental honey to reward the hardworking little fairies.
In the following days, Su Xi kept track of the follow-up tasks of the "Investigate Deity Revival Incident" while also completing the Saintess tasks of the Hall of Service.
I leveled up to level 37 smoothly, and then continued doing quests to level up to level 38.
The development of the game world has been relatively peaceful and harmonious.
But the real world is turbulent beneath the surface.
In a meeting room in Kyoto, an island nation, the atmosphere was heavy as the room was filled with people in suits.
"Why is this happening? Has China gone mad? What gives them the right to activate the highest level of combat readiness?!" Prime Minister Yasuda was going crazy.
They're just dumping nuclear wastewater into the sea, so why is neighboring China completely banning imports of seafood from island nations and activating a level-one state of emergency?
What, are they trying to start World War III?
"I heard that it's just a preparation phase right now, and their civilians are not affected, but the major military regions have already taken action. Prime Minister, should we cancel the emissions..." a minister asked in a low voice.
Prime Minister Yasuda looked at the ministers with a benevolent expression. "We've already done it, and now you want me to cancel it? Are you implying that our island nation is backing down?"
Upon hearing Yasuda's words, the ministers' expressions were inscrutable as they pondered the matter.
"Yasuda, why don't you just admit your mistake on your own, do something like seppuku, and apologize to China?" a younger member of parliament said nonchalantly.
When Yasuda saw who was speaking, his anger immediately stopped.
He dared not offend this person.
"Councilor Oshima, if you say that, then our island nation has completely lost face. After all, I am now the prime minister who represents the face of our island nation."
Councilor Oshima rolled his eyes. "Tch, I told you long ago that we could have just discharged it secretly like before, but you insisted on announcing it publicly. Now look what happened, huh? Humph, what a bunch of good-for-nothings."
Upon hearing this, many ministers immediately began to criticize it in their hearts.
You're the one who's incompetent. Given the radiation levels around Fukushima, if you keep secretly releasing radiation, it will be discovered sooner or later.
Announcing the discharge of nuclear wastewater now can cover up the previous clandestine discharges, earn a reputation for integrity, and reduce the negative impact of discharging nuclear wastewater.
None of the ministers present expected that the Chinese side would be so excited about this matter.
They had already taken care of international environmental organizations, but they couldn't get through to China. Now, the island nation's seafood ban and state of high alert in China have led the situation to a point that no one wanted to see.
Regardless of the circumstances, China's actions have led to a growing number of uninformed people becoming aware of their decision to discharge nuclear wastewater, which is not a good thing.
They can't afford to offend the USA, but they also can't afford to offend China.
However, since the USA is forcing them to choose, after weighing the pros and cons, China is not someone they can afford to offend.
"So, should we continue to spend money to pin the blame for discharging nuclear wastewater on China?"
Yasuda quickly said, "Let's stop here for now. We shouldn't provoke the tiger. Secretary Kawamura, arrange a live broadcast where we eat seafood from Fukushima together to prove to the world that the nuclear wastewater we discharged is harmless!"
"Are you really going to eat it?"
Yasuda glared at him sharply, startling Kawamura so much that he dared not ask any more questions.
