The matter of apologizing was easy enough to resolve.

A Lie and Qian Lai had already admired Liang Xing. Now, it had been confirmed that the Goblinmon just now really was part of the new toy.

The two only hoped to participate in the new toy's beta testing, and Liang Xing did not refuse.

After all, A Lie had been scared half to death, yet even in that situation, he had still protected Qi Tian.

On top of that, the group had worked together to defeat the two Goblinmon. This was practically the main material for the teaser trailer.

It was just that there were no Digivices in stock. A Lie and Qian Lai expressed their understanding and also asked about the specific circumstances of the Digital World.

Liang Xing smiled but did not explain.

No sooner had the matter here been resolved than the four police officers who had stayed because of Liang Xing's arrival stepped forward to learn what had happened.

"Mr. Liang, would it be convenient to register the appearances of your new toys... the Digimon?"

Handsome and polite people could always easily earn goodwill. The policewoman asked tentatively.

Liang Xing was especially cooperative.

It was not because he had fallen for her looks, but because Liang Xing needed the authorities to improve their efficiency.

Previously, Liang Xing had always worked with officials from Yanjing. Strictly speaking, this was his first time dealing with local police officers.

Although the notice from higher up stated that the distribution of Digivices did not need to be regulated by the local police department.

Since they had run into each other, he could take the opportunity to promote Flying Cameras.

Compared with the surveillance cameras currently on the market, the Flying Cameras Liang Xing provided had a wider shooting range and clearer footage. By entering target information through the software, they could lock onto specific targets through features such as the eyes.

It was no exaggeration to say that once Flying Cameras became widespread, fugitives would have nowhere to hide.

Unless they never showed their faces in public, the Flying Cameras' tracking lock would activate automatically. Escaping it would not be so easy.

Baisha City was a warm and welcoming city.

If criminals came here, then they should not expect to leave.

As Liang Xing's permanent home city, its basic security had to be guaranteed!

However, upgrading surveillance cameras across the entire city was not something that could be resolved in a short time.

Even Huaxia's military could only purchase a small number of Flying Cameras and prioritize more important locations.

The primary reason was still Liang Xing's production capacity.

Of course, many decisions at the national level could not be changed in a short time.

After all, an upgrade on this scale required no small amount of funding.

Furthermore, given Liang Xing's production capacity, which city should receive them first, and even which specific locations within that city, were all matters Huaxia's authorities needed to consider.

But if Liang Xing promoted the toys himself, the state could not interfere.

So his arriving at the scene before the four police officers left had been intentional.

The country needed too many of them, so he could only protect himself first.

"Pleasure working with you."

The policewoman's full name was Su Mei, and her father, Su Jingtian, was the mayor of Baisha City.

She could see through Liang Xing's little scheme, but no one would deliberately expose something that benefited both sides.

Su Mei hated evil with a passion, and the greatest disagreement between the two sides was over the order of deployment.

Liang Xing naturally hoped to expand outward from the Liang Xing Toys Factory physical store.

But Su Mei hoped he would consider the bigger picture and prioritize locations with heavier foot traffic, such as major intersections.

After all, the Flying Cameras' automatic matching and tracking capabilities would enormously improve the efficiency of capturing fugitives!

After pondering it, Liang Xing felt that made sense.

He also believed that criminals should return to where they belonged sooner rather than later.

But the problem was still insufficient production capacity. There really could not be much improvement in the short term.

Settling for the next best thing, Liang Xing considered helping improve the surveillance system.

That was much simpler.

The main task was optimizing the automatic matching system. It would allow the police to enter information related to a target, and the surveillance equipment would continuously compare it until the relevant person appeared, taking screenshots to confirm the time and location.

This left the technicians utterly dumbfounded.

No one came out to sneer and get slapped in the face.

Liang Xing's efficiency was simply too high. Before the technicians could even make sense of the code, he had already completed the upgrade.

"The equipment is a little old, so the results might not be quite as immediate."

With Su Mei's guarantee and the description of the Digivices, the chief of Baisha City's police department fully trusted Liang Xing's capabilities.

The facts proved that the results came astonishingly fast.

Less than half an hour after the upgrade, the backend screenshots showed that a target had been found. The police immediately mobilized, investigated based on the direction the target had taken after leaving the camera's view, and quickly caught the fugitive in a small motel.

This time, everyone was happy.

The initial cooperation agreement was reached. The Baisha City police department would assist Liang Xing in deploying Flying Cameras specialized for their needs, while Liang Xing would grant the police department surveillance access.

As for upgrading the automatic matching system, the police department's relevant technicians were racing to study and understand it.

Liang Xing did not charge money, but he also did not have time to upgrade every province one by one.

So they could only wait for the technicians to master it, or for each province to send people to learn it themselves. Liang Xing would not concern himself with that.

The appearance of Digimon itself already involved every aspect of the country. Liang Xing had to think more about the future.

Besides, would Huaxia let Liang Xing suffer a loss over something so beneficial to the country and its people?

He spent the entire day busy with the police force. When he returned home, he received a message from Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.

"Go all out! The country has your back!"

Liang Xing had probably never tried to hide anything. Zhang Long and Zhao Hu had seen so much that the reports they submitted kept becoming more outrageous.

Liang Xing had not even concealed the news that real Digimon could truly be born.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu did not really believe it.

But after following Liang Xing for so long, they had never seen him make empty boasts.

In any case, the two reported everything truthfully. That very day, Liang Xing's automatic matching system had given the country another huge surprise, and when he returned home that evening, he received the country's reward as well.

—The raw materials needed to create real Digimon!

My Pondering Power had never created something from nothing. It merely turned ideals into reality and, in principle, still followed the laws of physics.

Therefore, the conditions for creating real Digimon were extremely demanding.

This was no longer something that money alone could solve. It also required the right channels, and some of the materials involved were not even stocked in large quantities by the entire country.

Of course, if Liang Xing were determined to make Digimon widespread, there were ways.

For example, Doraemon had methods of making money create more money, and multiplying materials followed the same principle.

But things had not reached that point yet.

Liang Xing also had no need to create toys on that level and bring trouble upon himself.

Huaxia's authorities had likely sent these materials partly to gauge Liang Xing's abilities.

As it happened, Liang Xing also needed a genuine means of protecting himself.

The exhaustion inflicted by Digimon projections could not settle matters with one decisive blow, but real Digimon would be different.

Unfortunately, material synthesis was not a simple matter either. At this stage, he simply could not spare the time.

Still, with the surveillance system's automatic matching, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu's protection, and the close protection of Digimon projections.

That counted as having some security assurance.

He only hoped the merchants from the Parallel World could be reasonable and would not resort to offline PK just because they could not win.

If he still could not beat them then, wouldn't that be embarrassing?
