The People of Yan Valued Promises and Made Light of Partings
Although she had made initial contact with the Yan Kingdom government, Feng Xue did not expect to become the Source of Martial Arts immediately.
Regardless of whether Yan Kingdom is willing to create a Weird Tale, even if the Yan Kingdom's upper echelons were to go insane and immediately call for nationwide promotion, it would still take a considerable amount of time to truly solidify the Trait.
Ultimately, Libra and the Origin of Martial Arts are completely different types of Weird Tale. Although it is hard to admit, the spread of Libra is based on "tragedy." It is precisely because injustice exists in the world that people who yearn for fairness will have expectations of something like Libra. And strong expectations and desires are the core elements that drive this Weird Tale.
Even so, if it weren't for the boost from the Olympics, it would probably have taken Libra several years of fermentation and accumulation to truly create Supernatural Tale Entry.
The core of this Weird Tale the Source of Martial Arts is not as intense as the conflict between injustice and justice. Rather than passionate reform, Feng Xue hopes that it can be subtly integrated into the entire Yan Kingdom, gradually making martial arts and qi cultivation a part of everyone's daily life, just like brushing teeth and washing face every morning, becoming a natural habit.
This will obviously take far more time than a day or two, or even a year or two to complete.
This is why Feng Xue carefully selected three secret manuals.
He provided the government with the Twelve Levels of Golden Bell Shield, the Sunflower Acupuncture Hand, and the Great Clumsy Hand, not only because these three martial arts had low barriers to entry, but more importantly, because their characteristics were suitable for promotion in the Yan Kingdom.
According to Feng Xue's thinking, if the authorities really intend to popularize martial arts, then the top priority should be defensive techniques, or rather, techniques for external physical training.
After all, Yan is a country where bulletproof vests can be bought freely, but gun ownership is not allowed. Compared to lethal martial arts that could easily cause unrest, a martial art that can enhance citizens' ability to withstand risks is more likely to convince the authorities to make a decision.
Secondly, the integrated medicine-refining feature of the Golden Bell Shield is also very suitable for promotion. The government can first popularize the Golden Bell Shield Cover in the military and police departments, teaching the body-refining and qi-circulating aspects, while retaining the medicine formula and uniformly distributing the auxiliary medicines. In this way, even if the technique is leaked, the speed of cultivation among the common people will be lower than that of the government.
Following that are two practical martial arts techniques: <Sunflower Acupuncture Hand> and <Great Clumsy Hand>. <Sunflower Acupuncture Hand> is comparable to military grappling techniques, allowing for easier and more convenient control of targets. However, it is also somewhat countered by the Golden Bell Shield, which can significantly reduce the official's suspicions.
The powerful "Great Clumsy Hand" technique has strict requirements for physical constitution. In reality, to meet such requirements, one must either possess superhuman Divine Power capable of lifting an ox with one hand or have mastered the Golden Bell Shield technique to a certain level. This also serves as a safeguard against the leakage of martial arts techniques.
However, even though Feng Xue has tried her best to show goodwill, the negative reputation that Infinite City has accumulated cannot be dismantled in a day or two. If she wants to expand her influence, she will inevitably have to make a trip to Yan Country in the future.
The only problem is that he's not confident enough to Cause Trouble in Yan Kingdom right now.
Ultimately, his ability to Cause Trouble in Victoria was largely due to the deliberate leniency of the Victoria authorities and the protection of Jessica, the capitalist's daughter. In Yan Country, he probably wouldn't have been able to sell more than a few manuals before the authorities came knocking on his door.
After glancing once more at the calendar, which was already nearing the end of November, Feng Xue finally made up her mind to pack all the books Jessica had acquired into Bundle Cloth.
"Click..." With a soft sound, Jessica, smelling of sweet grapefruit mixed with a hint of blood, walked into the Living Room. Seeing that Feng Xue wasn't engrossed in her book, she said with some surprise:
"Not reading today?"
"Yes, I should go." Feng Xue nodded. Jessica, who had been excited about completing a brilliant assassination, suddenly froze in place, then, as if remembering something, said somewhat nervously:
Are you going to Yan Kingdom?
"What are you thinking? I've just finished work and it's time to go home." Feng Xue shrugged, stuffing the lychee-sized Bundle Cloth into her waist bag one by one, looking completely indifferent.
Upon hearing the word "work," Jessica narrowed her eyes, then suddenly realized:
"There's already a new 'Executioner Master'?"
"..." Feng Xue didn't react for a moment, but then she understood what Jessica had imagined, and nodded:
"That's right, Libra is now on the right track, and it's time for me to go back to where I belong."
"Um... I mean... we..." Jessica wanted to say something, but couldn't quite bring herself to speak. Seeing her hesitation, Feng Xue took a pen from her breast pocket and wrote an eleven-digit number on a sticky note.
"This is my phone number. I don't know if I'll be able to call it after I get back there, but if I come back..."
Before Feng Xue could finish speaking, Jessica picked up her phone and dialed a number. Only after the phone rang in Feng Xue's pocket did she nod in satisfaction.
Feng Xue took out her phone, saved Jessica's number to her contacts, and then stood up, as if she was about to go out.
However, a coin suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Give up, the coins aren't worth enough, no matter how many there are." Feng Xue shook her head, but Jessica laughed:
"Don't worry, I don't intend to keep you here for a single coin, but don't forget me. How about this deal?"
"I just felt like this was a line I was supposed to say." Feng Xue reached out and took the coin, grinning somewhat speechlessly, then put it back in Jessica's hand.
"In return, you mustn't forget me."
"Of course." Feeling the coin back in her hand, Jessica's smile grew even brighter. However, Feng Xue didn't like the atmosphere of parting, and when she looked up again, she had already disappeared from the room.
"I feel like I've raised a flag." As Feng Xue walked down the street after leaving Jessica's villa, he suddenly gave a self-deprecating smile. However, he clearly remembered that Jessica came from the Puritan Family, so even if the flag were actually raised, nothing would change. It would be better to keep this ambiguous feeling for everyone's benefit.
It's been almost a year since Feng Xue came to the real world, and she's long forgotten where the door was when she arrived. However, anyone who has passed through the door will have a kind of unseen feeling, so there's no need to worry about not being able to find the door.
The only thing to worry about is that some unscrupulous person might seal the door shut with cement or something similar.
However, Feng Xue was not worried about encountering such a problem. After all, he had the incredibly sharp Disassembly Madonna in his hands. Even if it was really sealed off, as long as he cut out a "window" that could reach the original position of the door, he would still be able to meet the conditions for passing through the door.
In contrast, Feng Xue was more worried about being intercepted by the army...
But...
"Bekeland is bustling with activity as always today..."
Who says the Supernatural Tale Countermeasures Bureau has no achievements? It's just that they haven't achieved anything in communicating with Weird Tale. They have branches all over the country, their own reserves of Phantom Object and research projects, the technology to preserve and research "Weird Tale substances (False Thing)," dedicated combat personnel to deal with Weird Tale, and relatively complete emergency plans to deal with the arrival of Weird Tale.
As for disbanding or replacing the Exchange Group if it doesn't produce results... the reason it didn't produce results is because there were objectively no exchange partners!
Would anyone really abolish the Ministry of Foreign Affairs just because there's no immediate need for diplomatic services? Surely not.
Even if they didn't achieve anything, at least they witnessed the changes in Weird Tale over the past few decades. Wouldn't it be even more ridiculous to bring in someone who hasn't even seen any friendly Weird Tale?
As for the Archive Group... didn't you understand? It's a welfare department. Simply put, it's a place to shelter victims of Weird Tale (such as those whose entire families were killed by Weird Tale that escaped). After all, some victims have witnessed supernatural powers, but there are no means to erase their memories (or the cost-effectiveness is too low), so recruiting them and giving them an administrative job is just a form of compensation (of course, there are also factors of monitoring and avoiding unexpected impacts).
