The World Chamber of Commerce had no choice but to back down.

...

Soon, Old Man Qiu returned, his aged body appearing outside Qin Che's palace.

Those who are extraordinary have long since transcended the mundane.

Even the Pope doesn't travel with a large entourage and make a grand entrance wherever he goes.

Moreover, this old man was usually very low-key, and after he came out of seclusion, he didn't actually have a large group of guards with him as Qin Che had imagined.

"Your Highness, the Pope is outside." A secretary entered through the door and bowed respectfully.

Qin Che nodded: "Please invite the old man in. Sand Rat, go prepare the banquet. We'll talk about Zhang Minglou tonight."

"yes."

The Pope was invited into the palace.

In fact, this palace was a gift from the Pope to Qin Che.

It served as the embassy, ​​consulate, and post station of Leopard Court.

Qin Che served as the Leopard Court Ambassador and also as the liaison between the Holy See and the Leopard Court.

Well, it's quite something that the boss himself is acting as the liaison.

The old man slowly walked into the palace, where Qin Che had already prepared a banquet for him in the dining room.

The Pope, leaning on his cane, approached Qin Che. Qin Che stood up and politely said, "Elder Qiu, please sit down."

The Pope's real name was Qiu, and Qin Che asked him several times, but he refused to reveal his name.

So we gave up.

In addition, Qin Che did not believe in the Mechanicus, so there was no reason for him to call him His Holiness the Pope. Therefore, they addressed each other by their first names.

"Hehe, Little Qin, another sumptuous meal today?"

Old Qiu glanced at the delicacies on the table and couldn't help but laugh.

In fact, although Qin Che was a newly promoted Master, he still treated the Pope as an equal.

The two had known each other for a long time before they actually met.

Throughout the centuries of Chinese history, only Master Qiu has emerged as a supreme master. His loneliness is beyond words.

Now, Elder Qiu regards Qin Che as a 'fellow Daoist'.

The reason is simple: both are third-stage transcendents, and while they are on the same level, their perspectives on the world are different.

So after Qin Che arrived in Zhongzhou, they quickly became friends.

Moreover, Qin Che did it on purpose.

He once caused trouble in the simulator, became hostile to the Vatican, stole their mechanical particles, and provoked a direct confrontation with the Pope.

That old man is really strong.

Once the wilting property is applied, it is very difficult to remove.

Even Qin Che now would have to think twice before he could win a verbal battle.

The Pope is rather enigmatic, the only old Master in hundreds of years; who knows what other deadly weapons he might be hiding?

Qin Che laughed and said, "Consider it a celebration of the victory at the front. No one could have imagined that such a powerful clone would appear when the Iron Beast Army marched south."

"That's the company's Zero unit, Ed. There are many clones of him on the battlefield. He has now been promoted to officer. Most of them are his clones."

Old Qiu sighed: "If we don't shut down their Hive mainframe and stop the production of clones, the war will not stop."

Qin Che asked, "Didn't you tell me that you didn't know where their mainframes and headquarters were?"

“Yes…that’s the only problem. If we don’t know where the Hive mainframe is, it would be very dangerous to go deep into their lair.” Pope Qiu shook his head.

Qin Che: "Try to find out. If you have any clues, I'll help you go to the clone's nest."

Pope Qiu stared at Qin Che with a half-smile.

"Of course, I'm not going there for nothing. If I can destroy their Hive mainframe, you promised to give the mechanical particle technology to Leopard Court."

"Of course, these technologies all come from the Old World. They were originally in the hands of the world's nations at that time. In fact, the Central Continent Empire also inherited military technology, but they perished, which is a pity."

"Hehe, you actually have the neural modification technology of the Central Continent Empire, don't you?"

Pope Qiu looked at Qin Che and smiled slightly: "You know that too?"

Qin Che remained silent, which was his tacit agreement.

"Alright, the Hive host is of utmost importance. If you can destroy it, I'll give you anything you want."

Qin Che raised his glass, expressing his admiration for Qiu Lao's spirit.

The unwavering determination to fight against the invaders, to give everything, and to unite all forces.

It has remained unchanged for centuries.

The two had a meal in the palace, and then Pope Qiu took his leave.

The war continues with skirmishes on the front lines, and no one knows when it will break out again.

Pope Qiu needs to set up defenses and intensify the investigation into Project Hive. He has already sent many informants to the enemy's lair, but all have come up empty-handed.

Because the host computer exists, the enemy has a high degree of identification capability.

The spies sent out rarely return alive.

...

A few days later.

A gerbil came to report: "Your Highness, someone wishes to see you."

Who is it?

"They say they are merchants from Leopard Court, and they do indeed have our trade mark."

It is worth mentioning that Gerbil and Li Jiuyuan, these two confidants, had already been injected with mechanical particles.

This includes many cabinet ministers, as well as Qin Che's close associates.

They have all now gained long lifespans. The gerbil is now over a hundred years old. He may not live past two hundred, but as long as he lives, Qin Che will use him.

"A merchant from Leopard Court? Why would he travel all this way to see me?"

Qin Che smiled: "Let's call him over to meet us."

"yes."

After all, the other party was from Leopard Court, a fellow townsman. It would be good for Qin Che to meet him. Perhaps the merchant here had encountered some difficulties and was trying to open a channel for him.

Since he is the Leopard Court Ambassador, there are some things that cannot be avoided in his work. He should help if he can.

The gerbil invites people into the palace.

Qin Che received them.

The strangers, all young and unfamiliar to him, ignored the palace's splendor and came to Qin Che's room to pay their respects.
