Give Them a Few Cultivation Novices
Just as everyone was listening intently, eager to know what price the Minister would quote, he suddenly slapped his thigh.
"Oops!"
"I almost forgot, he once said that cultivators don't care about money; money is nothing but dirt to them."
"What US Dollar? He played with it before, it's just a pile of waste paper, too hard even to use for wiping your butt..."
Bob's lips twitched repeatedly. "..."
That's enough!
You did this on purpose, didn't you?!
The Minister continued without pausing, "So, they don't want money."
Bob, barely containing his anger, asked, "Then what do they care about?"
"Let me think about it..."
The Minister stroked his chin. "I think he mentioned that to me before."
The crowd nearly collapsed...
You're clearly just thinking about what you need, aren't you?! You bastard! If you're going to act, at least make it believable! At least think it through beforehand, okay?!
"Oh, I've got it!"
The Minister clenched his right fist and lightly tapped his left palm. "I remember them saying..."
Well, it's become 'them' now!
"It seems they want to take the formation to the next level. This formation is very complicated and intricate, so they're actually more interested in your chip-making machines..."
"If someone could provide ten or eight of the world's most advanced machines, along with the related manufacturing processes, technologies, and documentation, then I think that would be enough to cover the tuition for an exchange student program."
Bob's forehead veins throbbed. "..."
The Chicken Country gritted its teeth.
The Korean guy rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky...
The most advanced? How much does one of those things cost to manufacture? They sell for over a billion RMB!!! You want ten or eight?!
Do we also need relevant production and design data?
Those are all top secret, priceless items, okay?
Why don't you just rob someone?!
Who can afford this?!
However, this is not the end...
The Minister added, "Oh, right, there's one more thing! A cultivator said he's actually quite interested in airplanes, especially the latest fighter jets from the Eagle Country. How can their engines fly?"
"So I want to look through the design drawings and research materials..."
Bob: "(へ╬)..."
I've put up with you for so long!!!
That wasn't all, the Minister added, "Oh, there's more..."
Not long after.
During the video conference, everyone except the eleven Minister of the Resident Happiness Living Department was sweating profusely!
That's terrifying!
In their eyes, this was nothing short of robbery!
Whatever technology Hua Nation is technologically backward, the Minister wants it, and it must be the most advanced in the world, or at least the most advanced known and publicly disclosed technology!
Especially the technology that used to strangle Hua Nation, now they want it all, leaving no stone unturned!
It's a very important skill that can be exchanged for a spot in an exchange student program.
General techniques?
We can only exchange one student's spot!
Just tell me directly, are you going to exchange it or not?
Not willing to switch? It's not that I disagree, but how can cultivators teach if you don't pay tuition? It's not my fault, we have to be reasonable, right?
So... you guys should think about it, we're not in a rush!
After the Minister finished speaking, he sat there calmly, without urging them, giving them time to consider.
Bob and the other leaders of various departments immediately felt extremely uncomfortable!
Do they want to hand over these technologies?
Only a fool would want to befriend someone like that!
If possible, of course, a hundred or a thousand would be unwilling!
In the past, if Minister made such a request, they would have definitely laughed it off and ended the meeting immediately.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs"!
Laughing it off won't work either!
Times have begun to change...
Isn't technology amazing?
Sharp!
However, cultivators are even more unreasonable; they rely solely on absolute martial power, which is explosively strong!
This is like Mushroom Bomb; it's a truly high-end form of military deterrence.
Imagine only one family has Mushroom Bomb, and the others don't know how to make them. That family then says, "You can trade me your most advanced XX technology..."
Are you going to change it or not?
They didn't directly threaten you with Mushroom Bomb; they're already being generous by asking you to hand over this technology!
Instead, they politely offered to exchange with you, which doesn't seem unreasonable at all.
Otherwise, I could just let a cultivator stand on your roof, would you give it to them or not? If not, I'll punch them!
"I... will switch!"
In the end, Bob had no choice but to agree.
"I'll change too..."
Since the Capitalist Income Protection Guild, Chicken Country naturally followed suit.
With a precedent set, others were quicker to agree.
After all, I'm not the only one, right?
They've given me their more important technology, so what am I afraid of?
Circumstances are beyond human control...
They had no choice but to agree.
Frustration, helplessness, anger? You can only endure it all yourself; there's no other way!
"Okay, we'll remember that."
The Minister nodded slightly. "You'd better send over the promised items and technology as soon as possible, and we'll prepare them accordingly."
We will notify you as soon as classes begin!
"Hehe, no rush."
"Yes, let's send the students and their tuition fees over together when classes start."
"Yes, that's it..."
Bob and others said they weren't stupid either.
Should I give you the tuition fee in advance?
What if you don't keep your word?
At this point, they were actually in a very passive position.
They dared not fight, dared not threaten, and even worried about being targeted by Hua Nation cultivators; they were walking on thin ice...
After discussing everything with immense sadness and distress, they sadly ended the call.
After this global conference concluded, countless powerful figures immediately launched a top-secret project!
The content of this project is...
Secretly search for Superpower User and recruit them to work for you!
"Hey, we really hit the jackpot this time!"
"The Minister is truly amazing!"
"No wonder he's called Minister! His ability to adapt to changing circumstances is truly beyond our reach!"
"To acquire these technologies that are holding us back so easily, it's truly... satisfying!!!"
The Minister all laughed out loud, feeling very satisfied and happy.
What?
What if we train cultivators for foreign countries and they cause trouble?
First of all, the only designated area for the Spiritual Qi Revival Hua Nation... Even if you manage to cultivate it, what good will it be if you don't have any spiritual energy back home?
Secondly, do you really think cultivating immortality is that easy?
As Hua Nation, they all know very well that cultivating immortality is a profession that absolutely depends on talent. Without talent, what kind of immortality can you possibly cultivate?
Do foreigners know how to select exchange students with talent for cultivating immortality?
We don't know, how could they possibly know?!
I don't know. The exchange students they send over will definitely have varying levels of talent. They might struggle to even get the basics right, and even if they do, they'll only ever be minor cultivators...
Why be afraid of him?
Is he talented?
Okay!
Even if you have talent, cultivating immortality is a traditional Hua Nation craft. Those professional terms like Acupoints, acupoints, Dantian, Niwan Palace are enough to keep you foreigners learning for a very long time.
Whether we can figure it out is still unknown!
By the time you figure it out?
Perhaps Hua Nation students with similar talents to you have already reached a whole new level.
Not to mention, in a last resort, we might even make things difficult for you.
What are we afraid of?!
We'll set up a few exchange student programs for you foreigners to learn from, but you might not necessarily achieve anything significant. Even if you do, we're not afraid...
After all, we are the ones who have mastered the 'core cultivation technology'.
Therefore, the Minister's actions appeared quite 'clever'.
If we don't provide exchange student slots, countries will definitely be dissatisfied and will keep making trouble, and various sanctions are certainly possible!
If it really comes to that, Hua Nation will also be in a lot of trouble, at least a lot of trouble, and will be overwhelmed.
So the best way is to first deceive them, to deceive them into believing that there are many cultivators who are very powerful, and that we ourselves cannot afford to offend them!
Are you skeptical?
It's okay, I won't block your path. If I block it, you'll cause trouble, and trouble will cause problems for everyone. So I'll open exchange student spots for you, but you'll have to pay the tuition, right?
What?
After that, you didn't learn anything from them; you were all noobs.
Is it my fault?!
We never said they would definitely become very skilled. It's all about talent. Is becoming an immortal so easy? Who can guarantee they can reach a very high level of cultivation?
This is the Minister's idea!
At this moment, all the other Minister also understood.
That's why they were all very happy.
They resolved the potential problems that might arise afterward, and also managed to acquire various technologies that had previously been choking Hua Nation and causing Hua Nation considerable distress.
pay?
hehe...
Help them train a few novice cultivators.
This deal looks like a sure thing!
"In the short term, there shouldn't be any problems. They will definitely send people to closely monitor our domestic situation, so as long as we don't start classes or reveal that we've begun large-scale cultivation, they can't say anything..."
The Seventh Vice Minister stroked his chin. "From now on, all we need to do is stall them!"
"When the time is right, we'll start the cultivation class again."
"Yes, the next step is just one word: delay!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the Minister said, "We wasted a lot of time arguing with those guys. By now, Lin Fan should be arriving soon, right?"
"I guess so. We'll have to send someone over there too!"
"I'll go instead."
The Seventh Vice Minister stood up. "No one can say for sure about Lin Fan's Second Personality. I'm somewhat of an acquaintance, so I should be able to talk to him more easily."
"Alright, then you can go!"
"Um..."
After a brief exchange, they parted ways.
The Seventh Vice Minister flew directly to the region where the Artificial Sun Material Research Institute is located by special plane...
The two met in the afternoon.
Seeing Lin·Purple Firmament's face, which was much colder than before, the Seventh Vice Minister blinked and said, "Mister Lin, hello."
