Meteor Shower Probe!
"Farewell."
The Seventh Vice Minister smiled, then gently cupped his hands in a gesture of respect. "I do hope that our cooperation can be successful..."
"How about I give your family member a pill first?"
Lin Fan spoke with a smile.
"No need."
The Seventh Vice Minister shook his head and refused. "I cannot accept a reward without merit. If I were to take the benefit, it would easily arouse unnecessary suspicion."
"If the cooperation is successful, I believe there will be no problem."
"Alright."
Lin Fan nodded, agreeing that it made sense.
"Then I'll await your good news."
The Seventh Vice Minister departed.
A group of people from the Resident Happiness Living Department all got together, and then...
The Seventh Vice Minister were shocked to discover that Liu Gang was injured!
"What?!"
"..."
Liu Gang's face was ashen. He clutched his fractured and dislocated arm, not groaning in pain, but the psychological trauma was immense...
"I got punched by a bird."
Everyone: "???? Bird??"
The Seventh Vice Minister realized. "Lin Fan's?"
"It should be, standing on his house wall."
"Why did you get into a fight with it?"
"It's hard to explain... but I was completely outmatched by it, and I even felt like it just made a random move."
Liu Gang took a deep breath. "Elder, this Lin Fan is unfathomable, he's too powerful!"
He was amazed, terrified, and at the same time, full of anticipation.
If only I could be that good... Too bad! There's nothing I can do!!
"Let's go to the C City branch first. Your injury needs to be treated before you leave, otherwise it'll be troublesome..."
At this moment, the Seventh Vice Minister also thought of many things, but this was not the place to talk.
They come quickly and leave quickly.
Even Wu Guodong has been 'forgotten'.
When he knocked on the door and entered the room, he was also greatly surprised to learn what Zhou Xiaoran looked like.
"You..."
"The changes are too great."
"But there's a resemblance to the person in the photo from back then," he sighed.
Then, he couldn't help but complain, "These guys, when they first came here, they introduced themselves as being from the Resident Happiness Living Department. I don't believe a word of it..."
Zhou Xiaoran smiled and said, "Actually, that's not wrong. They are indeed mainly responsible for the well-being of us residents."
"..."
"That seems to make sense?"
Wu Guodong was slightly taken aback, but the more he thought about it, the more sense it made.
Then, he looked at Lin Fan: "The talks didn't fall apart, did they?"
"It hasn't collapsed, but we haven't reached an agreement yet. The specifics... depend on their choice..."
Choose!
This is a very important question.
One step to heaven, one step to hell.
But whose paradise is it, and whose hell is it?
That's hard to say.
Soon, while Liu Gang was still bandaging his wounds, the Seventh Vice Minister immediately ordered everyone else not to approach and then initiated a video conference.
"Seventh brother, how is it?"
The Seventh Vice Minister said with a serious expression, "He is more powerful than we imagined, but his purpose has also exceeded our expectations."
"First... I'll show you his abilities. I'll play a video here."
Then, the video was seen by others.
With just a snap of Lin Fan's fingers, Liu Gang and the others' black umbrellas all slipped from their hands, turning into 'black spheres' in mid-air before floating lightly back to each of them...
"This..."
"If I hadn't known it wasn't, I probably would have thought it was an incredibly sophisticated magic trick."
"Fifth brother, stop joking. The timing isn't right."
"This is indeed the work of a celestial being. Judging from his appearance, he probably only snaps his fingers to alert others. How can he kill someone from a thousand miles away so silently?"
"It's not surprising that cultivators have such methods."
After a moment of astonishment.
Someone spoke up, "Seventh Brother, what did you guys talk about?"
"I recorded it too."
He took a memory card out of his clothes...
"Your hidden camera wasn't detected?"
"He noticed, but was too lazy to bother with it. As soon as we met, he glanced at the camera I was disguised as a button, but didn't say anything."
"I think he's just using this to let you all know his conditions and requirements. Let's take a look first."
The Seventh Vice Minister sighed softly.
A dozen minutes later.
Everyone fell silent.
"Let's all share our opinions."
"I think it's feasible. If it can guarantee social order, why not? This is a great opportunity for us to overtake others, and besides... our Divine Land has had legends of cultivating immortality since ancient times."
"I remain neutral. In my opinion, this requires serious discussion and it is absolutely impossible to reach a conclusion in a short period of time because there are too many things involved, and all aspects need to be considered carefully."
"From his theoretical point of view, I think I support it. As long as social order is maintained and things don't fall into chaos, then this is undoubtedly good news."
"Everyone, don't forget that many of our country's scientists and top talents are getting old. If they could live to be two hundred years old and even become stronger..."
"You only see the advantages, but not the disadvantages? I disagree."
"I also object. In fact, I think he should be removed from public view. At the very least, he should be prevented from displaying his abilities in public, otherwise..."
"Yes, and all the countries are eyeing us covetously. If we become some kind of immortal cultivation nation, won't we be dragging them into our game? Have you considered how serious the situation is?"
"If we all cultivate immortality, what would we have to fear from them?"
"Haha, take him down? How? Who knows how many tricks he has up his sleeve? Take someone's head from a thousand miles away? Or are you really going to threaten him? He's made it clear that he's sincerely willing to cooperate and even told you not to touch his family. If you do... hey, then it'll truly be a fight to the death."
"Are you going to throw a world-destroying weapon into the city?"
They started arguing...
At this moment, the people in charge of the Resident Happiness Living Department all expressed their opinions.
After all, it's impossible for everyone to have the same thoughts.
Some people support new things, the pursuit of personal limits, and the pursuit of immortality, but others believe that change represents a great deal of uncertainty.
This involves too many risks and requires caution.
Some even believe that Lin Fan should be killed to prevent future troubles.
"Everyone... listen to me."
At this moment, the Seventh Vice Minister spoke up.
"How can you be so sure that there is currently only one cultivator on Earth?"
"How can you be so sure that Lin Fan is currently the strongest cultivator?"
"Even if you can destroy him at any cost, what if he has a master? The records show that he was just an ordinary person a few months ago, without any abnormalities. He couldn't have become a cultivator for no reason, could he?"
"Besides, what if his master's master is still alive?"
A few questions...
That question stumped everyone.
After the younger one was beaten, the older one showed up – what a cliché scenario!
But when faced with such a situation, who wouldn't be wary?
Who knows if Lin Fan has any powerful backers? If so, how many are there, and how strong are they?
"This kid..."
Some people complained, "They seem to have opened up and been completely honest with each other, but in reality, they didn't reveal a single word that they shouldn't have..."
"He's not stupid."
"It seems he genuinely wants to cooperate, and I think this is our opportunity!"
"Yes, I think so too..."
"I still don't think it's quite appropriate. Change means risk, and the best approach is to..."
"I have a suggestion."
The Seventh Vice Minister added, "I've taken longer to analyze this than you have, so I have a suggestion that may be immature. Please listen to it."
"First, convene a think tank to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages that will occur after the ' Spiritual Qi Revival ', and then make a comprehensive consideration."
"Secondly... a test."
The Seventh Vice Minister smiled and said, "I think he wants to show off his skills to impress everyone, which is why he keeps asking us to test him."
"In that case, let's test him once, to put his mind at ease, and also to give us... some peace of mind!"
"Seventh Brother, there's something wrong with what you're saying. If you really intimidate all of us, then wouldn't none of us be able to refuse?"
"Wouldn't it be better not to refuse?"
"... Raise your hand if you agree with Lao Qi's suggestion."
Soon, the Seventh Vice Minister won with seven votes each.
"Let's do it that way!"
"We're in charge of analyzing the pros and cons of the Spiritual Qi Revival and making a comprehensive assessment. Seventh Brother, you're in charge of testing the waters?"
"We are not capable of testing them..."
The Seventh Vice Minister ' eyes went somewhat mad at this moment. "If you want to completely intimidate us, then you must accomplish something that neither we nor modern science can do!"
"You mean?!"
Everyone was astonished.
"If I remember correctly, there was some news recently that has caused great panic among top officials around the world..."
"Yes."
Everyone understood, but... their expressions were quite interesting.
"A meteor shower from the Centaurus constellation will brush past Earth tomorrow morning..."
"However, it is estimated and calculated that some meteorites may be captured by Earth's gravity and then fall to Earth."
"And if those meteorites are large enough, their power will be terrifying."
Meteorite...
The issue of this can be big or small; simply put, it depends on the size and mass of the meteorite!
Don't be fooled by the seemingly high-tech appearance of Beyond the Heavens meteorites. If a meteorite is large enough and falls to Earth, the shockwave from the explosion can be even more terrifying than that of the Tsar Bomba, and... there's no limit to how powerful it can be!
"One year ago..."
The Seventh Vice Minister continued in a whisper, "Over in White Bear Country, a meteorite fell, but it didn't directly collide with Earth. Instead, it was extremely lucky to explode in the air. Even so, it caused some damage to at least four thousand houses."
"And this is in a place that isn't very densely populated!"
"If it were to land directly and collide with Earth, especially in a densely populated area, how terrifying would the impact be?"
"This meteor shower could pose a huge threat to Earth! And with current human technology, we are simply unable to stop it."
"So..."
