Time flew by. A considerable period had passed since Hua Wei and the other two had quietly departed New York, leaving chaos in their wake.
The world's focus seemed to be quietly shifting from the conflict-ridden American continent toward the East.
In Huaxia, a corporation called Star Ring Technology was rising to prominence at an astonishing speed.
Unlike conventional tech companies that relied on high-profile promotion, it steadily and irresistibly penetrated every facet of society, especially the medical sector, sparking a global revolution.
The drugs and medical technologies introduced by Star Ring Technology completely surpassed the understanding of the current era.
Whether they were once-incurable diseases or the various chronic and genetic illnesses that plagued humanity, all were easily resolved by Star Ring Technology's medicines and treatment plans.
Even more unbelievable, these "miracle drugs," for which any pharmaceutical giant would have demanded astronomical prices, were cheap enough for ordinary families to afford with ease.
Cancer had been conquered, HIV had been eradicated, organ regeneration had become possible... It was as though humanity stood only one step away from eternal health overnight.
This was not merely a business venture. It was more like a benevolent blessing.
In an extremely short time, Star Ring Technology won the nearly fanatical support of Huaxia's people, its prestige soaring to unprecedented heights.
Yet anyone with keen eyes could see that there was nothing simple about Star Ring Technology's backing.
Rumors claimed that it had entered into deep cooperation with Huaxia's military, providing certain "special services."
The occasional blurry footage that leaked out showed Huaxia's most elite special forces apparently equipped with some kind of lightweight yet powerful powered armor, with mobility and firepower far surpassing existing individual combat equipment.
Even more unverified reports suggested that a group of "super soldiers" had appeared in the military.
