World's Highest (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Feng @ Descendant)
"Elder Chen, how much would be appropriate for us to invest in this technology?!"
In a courtyard, the high-ranking leader, with faint dark circles under his eyes, looked at the old man opposite him, whose excitement had reddened his eyes.
Though he had already heard about the stir at the Academy of Sciences, seeing this scene immediately told him that these materials were likely even more important than he had imagined.

"It's hard to imagine what means that person used to obtain these materials."
Elder Chen sighed in amazement.
He worked in chip research and was also a leading authority in materials science. Some of the information Zhao Cheng had provided, when combined, formed a complete virtual reality technology—not the kind where tubes were plugged into the back of one's head,
