"..." Yi Tian fell silent for a moment, then continued:
"Then study the history and development of Great Xia and transcendent power, along with Blue Star's current situation."
007: "Reporting, Boss. Study complete."
Next, Yi Tian had 007 study a great deal about Great Xia and transcendent power to make up for its lack of common knowledge.
No matter what Yi Tian asked it to study, the instant he said it, 007 had already absorbed the information into its intelligent processor.
In just one minute, 007 had mastered all the knowledge available to humanity in Great Xia.

A mournful atmosphere made Yi Tian's heart tighten!
Looking around the building, he saw that the small red national flags originally displayed beneath the eaves had all been replaced with white wreaths!
Many of the civil servants coming and going wore deeply solemn expressions, with square patches of black cloth on their left sleeves!
