Mutant Competition

"Darling, there's something I need to discuss with you." Cui Man suddenly became serious. "Can we give this credit to Wanqing?"

"No problem, I don't care," Xiao He replied. Anyway, Wanqing deserved half the credit for his past achievements, but he hadn't given her any reward. Now he would just return the credit to her.

"I'm fine," Ye Wanqing said calmly, resting her chin on her hand. "It would be best if we could avoid being exposed to the public. Ending my 'superhero' career quietly is not bad either."

"But you've already been given the title 'White Marsh.' Without any achievements, it will only arouse suspicion and make external forces more eager to understand your identity and abilities," Cui Man explained. "The first purpose of giving you this credit is to send a message to the outside world: your Superpower is related to intelligence."

"And what's the second objective?" Ye Wanqing asked curiously.

"Of course, it's to give you a 'get-out-of-jail-free card'," Cui Man said directly. "Just like the 'Miracle Factor' in Xiao He's body, if external forces know that your Superpower can solve problems that humanity currently cannot solve, they won't want to take your life. Although our current security measures can already prevent external forces from infiltrating, but... just in case."

"Hmm, I think it's pretty good," Xiao He said, patting Ye Wanqing's head.

"Besides, only such unparalleled talent is worthy of Yinglong's unmatched combat prowess," Cui Man replied with a smile. "Everyone will think, 'No wonder she's Yinglong's girlfriend.'"

"Alright then." Ye Wanqing thought for a moment and agreed: she liked the phrase "No wonder she's Yinglong's girlfriend."

"So, that's settled then." Cui Man smiled with satisfaction. "From now on, all the credit for these scientific research achievements will be attributed to Wanqing. You'll handle the martial arts, and Wanqing will handle the academics. This is the strongest couple in China."

That evening, at 8 PM, at a press conference held in China, the spokesperson for the China Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that China's Mutant "White Marsh" had developed a complete solution for Plastic Decomposition. This solution uses a new type of synthetic enzyme to Plastic Decomposition into two non-toxic substances, which can also be used for various industrial applications.

Thus, for the first time, humanity finally has an effective solution for decomposing and reusing plastic, a type of waste that is extremely difficult to decompose naturally and poses a great threat to the environment, at a very low cost.

Once confirmed, this news caused a worldwide sensation. What caused an even greater sensation was that, in order to show support for the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind, China will share this technology with the world and will not use it for patent sales.

Of course, there are still many difficulties in achieving the sharing of this patent, such as preventing individual countries from monopolizing the necessary materials for Plastic Decomposition through economic and military means.

However, this patent could also help some impoverished countries escape their current predicament. The profits generated by these Plastic Decomposition lines are negligible for developed countries; it would be better to build a different factory than to waste human and material resources on such lines.

Therefore, the best way to cooperate is for poor countries or those with abundant human resources to build large-scale Plastic Decomposition plants, and then developed countries to hand over their plastic waste to these poor countries for processing, and then sell the two industrial materials produced from the decomposition.

This not only alleviates the harm caused by plastic waste to the earth, but also helps poor countries without resources to create a new economic chain, making it a great invention that benefits the whole world.

In theory, this technology should soon be available for use around the world and greatly alleviate the plastic hazards currently facing humanity.

However, after the news was released, the president of M Country immediately held a secret video conference with some of its allies.

"They're trying to overthrow our M Country's hegemony! Can't you see that?!" M Country President Trab- Herlangni slammed his fist on the table angrily, saying, "You think they're really after some bullshit community of shared destiny?! Fuck community of shared destiny! Fuck!"

As he spoke, President Herlangni paced back and forth. "Their goal is to increase their international influence so that other countries will obey them, thereby replacing our M Country's hegemonic position. That must be it!"

"But Mr. Herlangni... the technology for Plastic Decomposition is indeed quite useful. We've done the estimates, and the budget for this system is quite low; even poor countries can afford to operate it," Prime Minister Cheris of D Country explained. "It can significantly reduce our costs for dealing with plastic waste, while also increasing support from environmentalists."

President B-land immediately echoed, "Furthermore, if poorer countries were to handle the Plastic Decomposition problem, we would only need to sell our useless plastic waste to them at the cost of transportation. Finally, we could buy back the raw materials generated from the decomposition process at a very low price, significantly reducing production costs for some of our industries and greatly increasing their profits..."

"I don't care about any of that!" President Herlangni interrupted her loudly. "What does it matter who eats that garbage?! Huh? Why should I care about those stupid animals and civilians? The priority is M Country first! We absolutely cannot let this plan be implemented. Let your media spread rumors that this plan will produce a lot of toxic and harmful substances, that this plan is a conspiracy by China. Go do it now!"

"But, Mr. President..." Prime Minister Nuren of F Country hesitated, "This plan has been verified by World Environmental Organization and is indeed a completely harmless and low-cost treatment solution."

"Then let's smear the World Environmental Organization too! Say they've become lackeys of certain countries!" President Herlangni said irritably. "In short, anyone who dares to use this plan is going against our M Country!"

A murmur rippled through the room; people were clearly not happy with Herlangni's decision.

But at that moment, Prime Minister John Cameron of Y Country immediately stuck out his tongue and eagerly pressed his lips to hers, saying with a smile, "Yes, what you said makes perfect sense. Y Country will definitely follow in your footsteps."

"We're from the A Continent too." A Continent's Prime Minister Dorison, immediately wagged his tail in agreement.

President Herlangni nodded in satisfaction. "That's it! I advise the rest of you to think about it carefully too!"

After the meeting was abruptly ended, President Herlangni slammed his fist on the table in frustration. A bodyguard approached him and whispered something in his ear.

"Let him in," President Herlangni said, frowning. Soon, Minister of National Defense Schofield stepped forward. "Mr. President."

"Do you have any good news?" Herlangni asked, frowning and rubbing his temples. "Our country's influence and investment funds are dwindling, so I need some good news right now!"

"Regarding this... sir, I have an idea." Schofield cleared his throat, changing the subject. "The one who invented this system is 'Yinglong's' girlfriend, 'White Marsh.' We suspect her Superpower is something like enhancing intelligence."

"Who the hell cares about their Mutant? The key is whether we've found stronger Mutant!" Herlangni frowned. "If all else fails, just poach them! Do I have to teach you that?! Poach both of them! Give them whatever money they want!"

"Sir, please listen to me," Schofield quickly urged, speaking confidently, "What do you think of the idea of a 'Mutant Joint Tournament'? Under the guise of helping Mutant communicate and research their Superpower, we could gather all the Mutant in the world together for a competition. That way... we'd have many opportunities, whether it's turning them against their former allies or..."

As Schofield spoke, he ran his thumb across his neck.

"Are you fucking an idiot?" Herlangni frowned. "Do you even have Mutant capable of dealing with 'Yinglong'? Isn't this kind of competition just humiliating? Do you want the whole world to see how vast the gap is between our Mutant and 'Yinglong'?!"

"He's just one person. We can adjust the competition format to test overall strength or use a series of matches. As long as we threaten O Continent, R Country, and Y Country to get their support, the competition format will be up to us, right?" Schofield explained. "Our country may not have Mutant as strong as 'Yinglong,' but we've bought a large number of Mutant from other countries. In terms of overall strength, our country is definitely stronger."

"Then why would they agree to participate in this Mutant Competition?" Herlangni said irritably. "Who would do something without a benefit?"

"First, because they possess the 'Yinglong,' they must prove their strength," Schofield said with a sly smile. "If they don't come, we can have the media widely publicize that the 'Yinglong' is nothing but a facade, a propaganda product boasted by China."

As he spoke, Schofield added, "Secondly, we can rely on the international influence of the M Country and encourage countries in the O Continent, R Country, and H Country to join us in exerting pressure. Those who do not join us can be subjected to economic sanctions under various pretexts."

"Thirdly, we can promote this event extensively, turning it into a large-scale event like the Olympic Games, broadcasting it globally, and attracting advertising and sponsorships from major manufacturers. This can generate considerable economic benefits."

Schofield rubbed his hands together and smiled obsequiously, "You have to understand, this is the 'Mutant Competition,' unprecedented! Everyone in the world will come to watch, so there's no shortage of sponsorships and advertising. We can also develop merchandise and fan groups..."

"Hmm..." Herlangni thought for a moment, then nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, that's a great idea. Schofield, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. It wasn't for nothing that I promoted you all the way to this position."

Yinglong and White Marsh, who had once again caused international turmoil, were now enjoying a hot pot meal, drinks, and TV dramas at home, having a wonderful time.
