Smoke Bombs ×3

"Can't I watch?"

Lin·Purple Firmament pressed for an answer, Seventh Vice Minister was speechless for a moment. "You can see it, but once you get to our experimental base, that thing... can't be moved around casually."

"Then I'll go take a look!"

"..."

"Just take a look... I'll take a look!"

The Seventh Vice Minister agreed, "I'll send someone to pick you up."

"OK."

After the call ended, the eleven Minister looked at each other, ten of them displaying conflicted expressions...

"You guys are just too nervous."

Only the Minister sighed softly, "Since we are partners, and such important strategic partners at that, why think so much?"

As the ancients said, "If you employ someone, don't doubt them; if you doubt someone, don't employ them."

"Now that we have cooperated, we should entrust everything to you!"

"Moreover, although the Artificial Sun is one of our most advanced core technologies,... don't forget, it's still only a semi-finished product."

"No, it shouldn't be called a semi-finished product, because it's far from being a semi-finished product. Let Lin Fan take a look; perhaps he can offer some suggestions!"

"Who says..." the Minister smiled, "That cultivating immortality isn't science? I don't think so."

"It's just a science that we and people haven't mastered yet. What if we could use the methods of cultivating immortality to perfect the Artificial Sun?"

"Even if it's just a tiny improvement, it's still a huge step forward!"

"If it doesn't work out, we haven't lost anything, have we?"

These words dispelled all the contradictions and doubts in everyone's hearts.

"That's true..."

"It's because our mindset hasn't changed."

"Times... have changed!"

Just then, the Second Vice Minister's communicator suddenly rang. Without hesitation, he turned on speakerphone and answered the call in front of everyone.

"Second Vice Minister, the Capitalist Income Protection Guild of the Eagle Country, along with almost all other forces including Chicken Country, Stick Country, Bear Country, have jointly initiated a global conference. Since your department is fully responsible for this matter, you and the other Minister have been specifically requested to attend. The elders above also intend for you to be in charge of this matter..."

"Oh?"

The Second Vice Minister smiled and looked at the person.

In fact, at that moment, all the Minister smiled.

"Understood. Let's get ready and notify them that the global video conference will begin in ten minutes."

"Yes, Second Vice Minister!"

Hang up.

The eleven Minister looked at each other, and then... they all laughed.

"Sure enough, they couldn't sit still any longer."

"Definitely. Our News Broadcast has already aired it, publicly revealing the existence of cultivators, and even saying they'll be holding training courses. No wonder they can't sit still."

"Immortal... It's just a simple word. Foreigners may not understand what the word 'immortal' represents to Hua Nation, but they do know that it's very powerful."

"They certainly won't let us become the only dominant force."

"However... hehe, it's not that simple~"

They chuckled, exchanging words and sighing with emotion.

Those who have reached this level are all shrewd and experienced. Especially after being baptized by the Spiritual Energy Pill, they have all returned to their prime, their minds are more agile, and as a result, they are naturally more adept at handling affairs.

Perhaps many people don't know, or have misunderstood, them...

In the past, whenever something happened, it seemed that the people in the Resident Happiness Living Department would only protest and strongly protest?

But in fact, hey, there are quite a few amazing tricks they pull off behind the scenes.

For example, some conflicts occurred at sea before, and judging from the news, the Chinese side suffered a great loss and felt extremely wronged.

But actually...

Tsk tsk tsk, our country's 'fishing boats' are directly spraying water at other countries' vessels with high-pressure water cannons, and they dare not say a word in protest~

On the news, the spokesperson for the Resident Happiness Living Department was making all sorts of protests and negotiations. The people were feeling incredibly aggrieved, as if they were being bullied right at their doorstep.

But in reality...

Okay!

It was our people who bullied them right at our doorstep, but they deliberately made it public that our family members were the ones who suffered losses and were wronged.

But can I talk about this?

That's something I absolutely can't say!

Just keep the joy to yourself; it's enough for us to know it.

At this moment, various powers around the world are seeking help from our Resident Happiness Living Department -being. How can we not take good care of it?

What?

They directly forced them?

Do you know why I publicly announced that I would be offering cultivation courses and adult cultivation training programs? It's to prevent this problem from arising!

force?

Who among the small powers would dare to pressure Hua Nation? Are they crazy?!

A major power? Joining forces? That's certainly possible. If they don't agree, a war might not break out, but being held hostage in high-tech fields is very likely...

After all, this wasn't the first time they'd done something like this!

Just like decades ago, when computers first came out, they were not allowed to be exported to Hua Nation, and the same was true for some precision industrial equipment.

But... what if Hua Nation develops its own technology and catches up with the world's leading level? Well then! They immediately stop embargoing the technology and equipment!

Not only are they not blocking it, they're even lowering prices! Like etching machines!

Isn't that insidious?

That's just how damn insidious they are! Even more so than that.

The Minister are seasoned veterans when it comes to these issues, and naturally, they had already taken all factors into consideration and thought about all the issues when making their decisions!

so...

They'll only say on the News Broadcast that we can't cultivate immortality right now, so please be patient. Once it's possible, we'll start classes, and everyone can cultivate immortality!

This may seem like a way to appease the people in the country, but in reality, it's also a way to appease various forces!

As for the effectiveness of the reassurance, that will depend on how the talks go in a few minutes.

The meeting began soon after.

The eleven Minister didn't move an inch. Above the conference table were four large screens, allowing them to clearly see everyone else in the video conference.

"There are quite a lot of people."

The Minister muttered, "It seems that all the big and small, any forces with a bit of influence, have participated."

"It's a global conference, for goodness' sake!" The Second Vice Minister was speechless for a moment. "How could it not be?"

"Well... let's begin." The Minister chuckled.

At this moment, almost everyone in the video was shocked!

What did they see?

All eleven Minister of the Resident Happiness Living Department have suddenly become younger?! This is unbelievable!

Considering other news from Hua Nation in the past, they found it even more difficult to remain calm.

When they gradually came to their senses, the Second Vice Minister finally spoke up quietly.

"Gentlemen, what is the purpose of your request for this video conference?"

The Second Vice Minister is mainly responsible for related matters, therefore, he is in charge of this meeting.

"A global conference... Has some emergency occurred?"

"Rest assured, our Resident Happiness Living Department will definitely cooperate with everyone, work together, and solve related problems."

That's a very frank statement!

However, in the scene, almost all the people from various factions, with different skin colors, races, and attire rolled their eyes.

With simultaneous interpreters, they naturally understood what the Second Vice Minister meant.

But it was precisely because they understood that they wanted to curse.

You're making it sound so nice!

They put on a very convincing act.

But the problem is, don't you guys even know why we initiated this video conference?

"Cough cough!"

A man from the Capitalist Income Protection Guild coughed softly.

Then, the Chicken Country people jumped out.

"Second Vice Minister, you don't need to play dumb. We have already received definite information, and your official authorities have also confirmed the existence of 'cultivators'."

"This supernatural power is far too dangerous and uncontrollable. If something goes wrong, it will be a global catastrophe!"

"Therefore, I believe that an agreement must be signed on this matter, an agreement that is recognized globally, just like the ' Mushroom Bomb Agreement' between us!"

"This is what all of us mean as well."

In the video, everyone nods in agreement.

However, upon hearing this, the eleven Minister repeatedly grimaced, and some even nearly burst out laughing...

Ultimately, isn't it all because they're afraid of Lin Fan? Afraid he'll cause trouble in your country?

And isn't it because you have no way to get in touch with him that you're in such a hurry?

Hehehe...

Who here isn't a shrewd person?

If you guys could get in touch with him, you would definitely contact him immediately and try every means to win him over and cooperate with him.

In other words, they couldn't win them over, so they had no choice but to resort to using a global conference as a form of coercion.

Too bad, see how we fell for it?

The Second Vice Minister sighed helplessly, "Indeed, cultivators do exist; this is absolutely true."

"But... to be honest, this cultivator is not from our Resident Happiness Living Department, and I believe no one has any doubts about that, right?"

"Therefore, we cannot represent him, so how can such an agreement be signed?"

No one refuted this statement.

Are cultivators people from the Resident Happiness Living Department?

Fart!

If that were true, why would the Resident Happiness Living Department have endured humiliation for so many years? They would have risen up in rebellion long ago, or even sent cultivators to kill themselves, wouldn't they?

Therefore, they do not doubt the Second Vice Minister's words, but that does not mean they will give up.

"Then why is your Resident Happiness Living Department preventing our people from seeing him?!"

The people of Stick Country slammed their fists on the table and stood up in anger.

"They're not your people, what right do you have to interfere?"

The Minister chuckled and said, "The immortal cultivator himself requested and instructed us not to let anyone disturb him."

"How could we dare disobey his words?!"

Old man!

Lin Fan is clearly very young...

However, the other ten Minister remained unfazed and indifferent, as if they hadn't heard anything.

Smoke bombs~~~

What?

Does Lin Fan look ageless in the video?

Hey, cultivators just look young. They're probably in their eighties, nineties, or even over a hundred years old now, right?

Are you going to investigate secretly?

Go ahead and investigate. Go find those older people and investigate slowly.

"We demand to speak directly with cultivators!"

The Bear Country stood up and made their demands.

"Feel sorry."

The Seventh Vice Minister retorted, "He prefers to live in seclusion and cultivates his spiritual practice, and does not wish to be disturbed by outsiders. You should also know that cultivators in Hua Nation have always lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests!"
