Back to the Modern World; The Blueprint Plan

Liu Qian seemed to be used to the war between the two countries and was not surprised by this.

Chen Feng asked, "What has been the outcome of the battles between the two countries over the years?"

After thinking for a moment, Liu Qian replied:

"There were wins and losses. The last war was ten years ago. At that time, our Yue Kingdom army invaded Ningguo and occupied three major cities, but we were driven back by Ningguo not long after."

Chen Feng remained silent, lost in thought.

He always felt that the war between the two countries was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

According to Liu Qian, the war between the two countries has lasted for countless years, but neither Yue Kingdom nor Ning has ever penetrated too deeply into the other's territory.

They were driven back after only capturing a few major cities.

Even if the two countries were evenly matched, it would be impossible for them to maintain this balance for so many years.

"Sect Leader, there's no need to worry. Ning Kingdom's army generally won't attack from our side. Our Hengduan Mountain have a unique geographical location; it's surrounded by mountains, which isn't suitable for large-scale military operations."

Liu Qian thought Chen Feng was worried that the war between the two countries would affect Xingfeng Sect, so he explained it to Chen Feng.

"Okay, send someone to keep an eye on the war situation. I'm going into seclusion."

Chen Feng prepares to return to the modern world.

Although ten days had passed in the Painting Scroll World, only two days had passed in the modern world.

Jack should have already sold about some of his gold.

When Chen Feng returned to the modern world, it was already night.

He appeared in a sugarcane field on the outskirts of Shan State.

In the Golden Triangle, besides special "plants," sugarcane fields are the most common sight.

The climate here is also suitable for growing these things.

Chen Feng looked at the road; it was quiet and there wasn't a single car around.

At this moment, Chen Feng felt that his cultivation was still too weak; he could only fly at low altitude for a maximum of three minutes in his Transcendent State.

They are far inferior to those immortal cultivators who can fly and escape into the earth.

Just as Chen Feng was making a phone call to contact Jack to have someone pick him up, a van drove up from a distance.

The van stopped in front of Chen Feng.

The driver waved to Chen Feng and said;

"Hey, need a ride? It'll only cost fifty to get to Shan State town."

This guy spoke broken Chinese; he was a man in his fifties.

Chen Feng nodded slightly and then got into the car.

The driver immediately greeted him with a broad smile:

"Young man, what are you doing in the sugarcane field alone in the middle of the night? You don't look like a farmer."

When asked by the driver, Chen Feng simply replied, "Just here for fun."

Seeing that Chen Feng didn't seem very interested in talking, the driver took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

They mostly chatted about everyday things, clearly trying to distract Chen Feng.

In fact, Chen Feng had already realized that the road the driver was taking him was not in the urban area of Shan State, but on a remote side road.

But Chen Feng did not choose to get off the bus; as the saying goes, skill breeds daring.

In the modern world, apart from a fully armed army, he poses very little threat to anyone else.

He was also curious to know where the driver planned to take him.

He wanted to see just how dark the Golden Triangle really was.

The Golden Triangle region was a perfect fit for him to establish an armed force.

Chen Feng already had a rough plan in mind.

That is to end the long-standing chaos in the Golden Triangle and unify the region.

Even if he doesn't establish a nation and become emperor, he should at least have a certain influence on the international stage.

It's impossible for just one company or one person to purchase missiles, fighter jets, and other super weapons from the world's major powers.

But if you rule a region and gain international recognition, that's a different story.

For example, Pakistan and some small African countries with friendly relations with Dragon Country, despite having populations of only a few hundred thousand, can still purchase weapons from Dragon Country.

Chen Feng's idea was simple: since he couldn't get powerful weapons, he would buy them from the government.

In addition, almost every year, many Dragon Country are lured to the Golden Triangle region by scammers.

If he can resolve this matter, it's no problem for the Dragon Country government to provide some weapons assistance.

Chen Feng's general idea was to develop his own industrial chain in China to obtain a large amount of funds, and then use those funds to develop his own armed forces in the Golden Triangle.

They then acquired weapons through armed forces and delivered them to the Painting Scroll World, and finally used the resources obtained from the Painting Scroll World to strengthen the domestic industrial chain.

This forms a loop.

However, it will take a long time to implement his blueprint plan.

The most pressing issue now is solving the problem of his own cultivation speed. If his strength is insufficient, none of these plans can be realized.

Only a power that transcends the mundane can allow him to develop without restraint.

The car stopped after driving on the dark road for more than ten minutes.

Three trucks appeared on the dirt road not far away.

The truck's cargo compartment still had a faded advertisement for a certain brand of popsicles printed on it, indicating that the truck was quite old.

It should be an old-style truck that was popular in China in the early 2000s.

The Golden Triangle is at a development level comparable to that of Dragon Country in the early 2000s.

The van stopped not far from the truck, and the driver said with a smile:

"Young man, wait a moment, I've run into someone I know, I need to go chat for a bit."

After saying that, the driver got out of the car before Chen Feng could reply, and then started chatting with a few thugs next to the truck.

Although the locals in the Golden Triangle are mostly of Asian descent, the constant exposure to the sun and the tropical climate of the area contribute to their high prevalence of the local population.

Therefore, their skin is very dark, making them easy to distinguish.

Although the car door was closed, Chen Feng could still hear the conversation of the group.

"Just one? Two thousand at most!" a black guy said with a look of disgust.

The driver said with a forced smile:

"This is a good find. It's spotless; you can tell the family is wealthy. Just have him make a phone call home, and getting a few hundred thousand won't be a problem."

The driver kept pushing his product, clearly treating Chen Feng as a commodity.

At this moment, Chen Feng realized that he had run into a pig butcher.

The practice of slaughtering pigs is very common in Southeast Asia.

You'll probably meet people on the road who offer you a ride or help you find a job; just follow them.

The only outcome would be that it would be sold as merchandise.

There are many different ways to sell piglets, depending mainly on their status.

For example, if you are a man and your family can't afford to buy your freedom, you might be sent to a telecommunications fraud industrial park to work as a fraudster.

However, telecom fraud also has certain thresholds; if the performance targets are not met, the victims will be resold to drug cartel Lineage to grow "special" plants.

But if they can't even grow "special" plants properly, they'll squeeze the last bit of value out of the piglets and remove their kidneys.

As for the women, they were basically sent to various entertainment venues to work as hostesses.

If you become a "piglet" (a derogatory term for someone who is exploited and treated like a slave), your life is essentially over.
