Lin Jie took out his personal terminal and showed Michel the ... catalog.

This was his gift: all kinds of materials Maple Leaf Mining had gathered by concentrating all its resources.

Through both public and non-public channels, this was everything they had been able to collect.

Much of it was even classified, and not entirely outdated technology.

Of course, handing these materials to just any civilization would not necessarily allow it to achieve an immediate technological leap.

Technological iteration was a gradual process. Foundations had to be built bit by bit before a towering structure could be erected.

The more complex the technology, the more this held true.

But for the Great Xia Empire, these materials were still immensely valuable.

Maple Leaf Mining's gift was indeed highly satisfying.

"This is only the information we can currently gather. Our family is still working to obtain classified materials, which may take more time and could also attract the attention of others."

Lin Jie explained at length, making Maple Leaf Mining's stance clear while subtly airing his grievances.

The squeaky wheel got the grease. How could he not understand that principle?

If it seemed too easy, how could Maple Leaf Mining claim any credit?

Although Michel could not understand the specific materials, he trusted that Maple Leaf Mining would not be foolish enough to try to deceive him with fakes.
