Everything seemed to have returned to normal. The world was still peaceful, and the sun still rose every day. All everyone knew was that the strange woman who had suddenly appeared had been detained for three days and then released without charge, despite the offensive circumstances.

Furthermore, superiors suddenly secretly passed on a stack of documents about the apocalypse to the higher-ups, demanding high secrecy while requiring a layout centered around Shiyin.

As expected, even after it was stated that Tokine was an esper and a reincarnated person, it still met with a series of objections.

Some people don't believe in the apocalypse and superpowers, after all, it's too fantastical. Some even arrogantly say that many people don't want to live anyway, so they might as well die.

Some people don't believe that a little girl can lead humanity. With Shi Yin at the center, wouldn't that be putting the future of Yanlong Kingdom in Shi Yin's hands?

Regardless, Shi Yin's current actual identity is just a college student. It's simply a fantasy to have a group of experienced people follow her, and many people call it absurd.

Yanlong Kingdom is not a one-man show. Even though the leader supports Shiyin, there are still people who strongly oppose it. The first is the Department of Astronomy, who said that they did not detect any meteorites at all and there was no possibility that a meteor shower would cause radiation.

The Consul General did not fully insist on this.

"Hey, aren't you really going to be a little tougher? Didn't you say you were going to take tough measures? Where are the measures?" Ye Shaoheng gritted his teeth in anger: "Didn't you say that protagonists with cheat codes get all the green lights? Am I not a character in a wish-fulfillment novel?"

Shi Yin: "..."

“A timely show of force can be twice as effective, while a sustained show of force will only backfire.” Shi Yin casually flipped through the book on her lap. “Are you trying to make me tough on the country and force them to do things?”

Ye Shaoheng fell silent.

He knew, of course, that it was unrealistic to make Shi Yin the top leader of the country directly. Logically speaking, even if Shi Yin had the ability, he couldn't do that.

Otherwise, why bother looking for a country? We could become king and hegemon in six months.

But he felt frustrated. He really wanted to climb to the top of the building, put on Iron Man's suit, throw off his cape, and shout, "I am the savior!"

"Besides, who told you I'm from a wish-fulfillment novel? Moreover, even if I were from a wish-fulfillment novel, I can't be considered the protagonist right now." Shi Yin said calmly, "In the genre of battle novels, the protagonist is the epitome of success."

"You still haven't succeeded?" Ye Shaoheng's eyes widened. "Didn't you say you were the strongest human?"

"If I had succeeded, I wouldn't be standing in front of you now. The fact that you're talking to me like this means that my last attempt was a failure, at least for me."

Shi Yin closed the book, feeling somewhat helpless about Ye Shaoheng's restlessness.

"In martial arts novels, the protagonist possesses a peerless martial arts technique. As long as he can master it, he can become the protagonist. However, the success rate of mastering such a technique is only one in ten thousand."

"When you become the protagonist, everyone can only see the cultivation technique and the protagonist's success. They often overlook the remains of the previous 9,999 people. You become the protagonist because you are the only one who survived. And I am now one of those remains."

“So, I can’t be considered the protagonist yet,” Shi Yin said. “I will only be qualified when I get that one in ten thousand chance.”

There was a moment of silence in the space.

Ye Shaoheng blinked, looking at Shi Yin with a surprised expression.

Shi Yin: "What's wrong?"

"Sister Yin, you actually said so many words in one breath!" Ye Shaoheng exclaimed in surprise, "You're so cold, yet you're willing to explain so much to me. You truly love me!"

Shi Yin: "..."

What the hell?

Ouch!

Before Ye Shaoheng could finish showing off, Ye Yuansong, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't stand it anymore and hit Ye Shaoheng's leg with his cane.

"You better behave yourself." Ye Yuansong had a headache. "Right now, there are only a handful of people who support Shi Yin!"

Honestly, at a time of crisis like this, don't say such irresponsible things. Putting aside the fact that it's obvious Ye Shaoheng is joking, it's extremely frivolous!

Even if Ye Shaoheng were serious, Ye Yuansong would still break Ye Shaoheng's legs.

The country is still in danger, how dare you start a relationship here?

If Ye Shaoheng really dared to talk about love and romance during a time of national crisis, Ye Yuansong would really break Ye Shaoheng's legs and kick him out of the house.

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do about it. I told you, it's impossible to convince them." Ye Shaoheng rubbed his thigh, looking dejected. "Judging from this progress, we haven't even managed to win over that big shot yet."

Although Yanlong Kingdom is not a one-man show, the words of that bigwig carry great weight. If he really insists, the people below will do as he says, whether they believe it or not.

The progress is so slow now, it's clear that even the commander-in-chief isn't providing full assistance.

"Stupid, this is a test." Ye Yuansong said with exasperation, "Besides eating vegetables, you should eat more brains."

"Huh?" Ye Shaoheng was dumbfounded.

Why are you attacking him personally again?

"This time, Shi Yin was able to meet the Commander-in-Chief largely because I brought her in. Otherwise, with such strict security, Shi Yin wouldn't have been able to get in at all." Ye Yuansong walked ahead, leading Shi Yin and Ye Shaoheng into the car.

The car started slowly. Ye Shaoheng rested his chin on his hand, staring blankly at the buildings behind him for a long time before he finally came to his senses.

"Huh? So Grandpa didn't arrange for the guards here, did he?" Ye Shaoheng asked, his eyes wide.

Ye Yuansong lay on the chair with his eyes closed, resting, while Shi Yin lowered her gaze and pondered. Neither of them both bothered to pay attention to someone with such a slow reaction time and insufficient intelligence.

When there's work to be done, just assign him tasks and get him to do them; don't bother him with thinking.

City A is the core of the Yanlong Kingdom. As the capital of the Yanlong Kingdom, it is heavily guarded. Now that it is the conference, the security is even tighter. If it weren't for Ye Yuansong, Shi Yin wouldn't even be able to get into the outer circle.

Of course, Shi Yin could use her supernatural abilities to infiltrate, but Shi Yin's tacit acceptance of Ye Yuansong's greeting was itself a form of defiance.

To be qualified to sit down and talk, one must first prove that one has the ability. Ye Yuansong is the nameplate presented by Shi Yin.

Ye Yuansong had barely finished giving his greetings when the higher-ups received the news. However, none of them expected Shi Yin to be so bold as to appear on stage.

The difficulties mentioned in this conversation are not actually difficult to implement. Rather than persuading, many people simply obey orders. However, Shi Yin did not want things to develop in this way, and she, the leader, and Ye Yuansong tacitly understood this.

This time, Shi Yin knocked on the door with Ye Yuansong.

Next time, Shi Yin will need to come in on her own.

Use less violent methods.

She suddenly appeared on the stage, so close to the leader. If Shi Yin hadn't stopped time, she probably would have been shot the moment she appeared.

However, despite the test, Shi Yin still obtained the privileges she wanted. The test was merely to prove whether Shi Yin could rise to power in one step. The country should still expedite the necessary preparations to be made, just in case.

"Impossible, this is absurd. What do-the-world scenario? Do you really think this is a novel?"

In the meeting room after Shi Yin left, the opinions of the senior executives were divided.

“Mr. Nan, calm down.” A middle-aged man pushed up his glasses. “Most of us experienced the spectacle at the conference just now.”

His mind was functioning normally, but his body was immobile; he couldn't describe it except as a spectacle.

Here, all those affected by Shiyin's supernatural power have gathered. In addition to temporarily silencing them, the leader and others are still testing their reactions.

"The astronomy department has already stated that no threatening asteroids have been observed." The middle-aged man, referred to as Mr. Nan, looked furious. "Who knows if she's playing some tricks?"

Few people agreed.

Everyone understands how difficult it would be to pull off such a trick. Moreover, most people can see that Nan Qiaohai is just furious because his dignity has been challenged.

Although many people felt uncomfortable, they still carefully read through the information.

Although these things seem unbelievable, they were issued by the Consul General himself, so they had no choice but to believe them.

“I think we should talk to that person first,” a young man next to Nan Qiaohai said. “The observatory observations that I personally supervised cannot be wrong.”

The eldest son of the Nan family, from Nankang.

As he spoke, Nankang gave the long-haired young man beside him a reproachful look.

"Second brother, say a few words for Dad." Nan Kang lowered his voice.

His voice was very low, so no one should have been able to hear his muttering.

However, the timing of his muttering was quite strange. Just now, by sheer coincidence, everyone had fallen silent, making his quiet muttering seem particularly abrupt.

Nankang was immediately a little embarrassed.

"Hmm?" Nan Zhu stopped taking notes, noticing that all eyes were on him, and smiled good-naturedly: "I think my opinion is not important."

"I am merely loyal to the country and prioritize its interests; I am not the one who dictates the will of the nation," Nan Zhu said gently.

His voice was very pleasant, cool yet surprisingly gentle. The people who were initially unsettled by the sudden news were all relieved after hearing Nan Zhu's words.

Among the group, Nan Zhu, with his long hair, was undoubtedly an anomaly. He sat upright in his chair, like a gentleman from a classical era.

He was indeed an anomaly. Despite his elegant demeanor, everything he did was rebellious, making people grit their teeth but forced to swallow their anger because of his gentle smile.

He has always kept a low profile and is known in the industry for his short attention span; he never stays in a job for more than a year before changing jobs.

Therefore, at first, everyone just thought he was a rich young master experiencing life and that he was just trying out a new kind of job.

In addition, the Nan family is also a large family. After thinking it over, the superiors decided to wait and see. In any case, Nan Zhu has always been non-competitive and not eager to fight for anything. Letting him do some odd jobs would not damage the country's image, so they temporarily did not order him to cut his hair.

Although he always completed the tasks assigned to the Nanzhu Sect with ease and perfection, he even helped with some important and difficult problems.

It's safe to say that in another month, the higher-ups will be considering ordering Nanzhu to cut his hair.

And what Nan Zhu said this time was flawless; he was always like that, gentle and refined, handling everything with ease.

However, Nan Zhu had said all he wanted, but Nan Kang was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Isn't this a veiled hint that he wants to dictate the direction of the country? This huge accusation almost crushed Nankang, yet he couldn't even get angry.

After all, they didn't say it explicitly. If I suddenly jump up now, wouldn't I be taking it personally?
