Lu Yuan's expression was somewhat solemn amidst the crowd; he hadn't expected the outcome of this competition to exceed his expectations.

He wasn't as happy or excited as he had imagined; he was just a little worried that it might cause trouble for his future life.

Minor troubles are inevitable, as he's used to them coming his way; he just hopes to avoid getting into any serious trouble.

After all, Lu Yuan wanted to live a peaceful life and naturally didn't want to be surrounded by these troubles every day.

Suddenly he felt someone walking towards him, surrounded by a large group of people.

He glanced over slightly, and then the general, with a smile on his face, came up to him. Xu Zhenhao, who was standing next to him, quickly gestured to Lu Yuan.

"Lu Yuan, let me introduce you. This is General Ouyang, the highest commander in our entire Hope Continent."

Lu Yuan nodded hurriedly, extended his hand, and gently shook hands with the other person.

General Ouyang patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder with a very satisfied expression on his face.

"Young man, your technology has truly changed the course of human history. I've decided to purchase it directly. The rest of the competition can be skipped."

These words caused an uproar at the scene.

Although it was within their expectations, they still wanted to see how Julong Company would defeat MS Company in the final match.

As it turned out, MS Company lost the competition before it even started, and General Ouyang's words brought the matter to a conclusion.

Everyone looked at Lu Yuan with a hint of envy, but they felt that Lu Yuan was putting on too much of a show.

You should be very happy, but you're looking so gloomy. Why?

General Ouyang Shang sensed that Lu Yuan's expression was a bit off, so he asked him gently, seemingly out of kindness.

"Young man, is there something you're having trouble telling us? Why don't you tell us and we'll help you resolve it?"

These words immediately aroused even more envy, jealousy, and hatred among those around them.

General Ouyang, the highest commander across the entire continent, has already spoken.

This indicates that the other party is willing to help Lu Yuan fulfill a wish.

This is practically a real-life Aladdin's lamp, and Lu Yuan is just an unknown little beggar who accidentally summoned the genie from Aladdin's lamp.

Whispers began to rise from the surroundings.

"Oh my, I'm so envious! How many pieces of dog poop did he have to step in to have that kind of incredible luck?"

"Who can argue with that? General Ouyang has never promised anyone or anything before, yet he's willing to make promises directly to people."

"That's right. It seems General Ouyang Shang will be heavily supporting Julong Company from now on. Damn, the Eastern Division has suddenly become a hot topic?"

"If it were me, I would definitely take over the most luxurious central region of the entire continent."

"What are you thinking? Is that a wish? That's wishful thinking. The most luxurious central region? I just want to open a company in the central region, and one where no one can bother me."

"You're the one who's delusional. You're really thinking big. You're not even bothered by anyone. You're already aiming to become the world's richest person."

Everyone was chattering away, while Lu Yuan shook his head slightly.

It seemed that there was really nothing he needed, but after shaking his head, he suddenly thought of another question.

"Yes, I apologize, General Ouyang. I just suddenly thought of another question."

When Lu Yuan spoke up to ask questions, General Ouyang's face was naturally beaming with smiles.

"Of course, no problem. Just tell me your conditions, and feel free to ask any questions."

"Here's the thing, you want to acquire this technology from our company, but developing it might be quite troublesome. I'd like to keep this technology with our company. Is that alright?"

General Ouyang looked slightly surprised after hearing this.

Such advanced technology must be kept in the hands of the military to ensure its safety. What is Lu Yuan trying to do?

“Young man, this technology will cost a lot of money. Our military has the capability, but are you sure you want to develop it yourself? I’m worried that this technology might be wasted.”

General Ouyang originally intended to be more tactful, but worried that Lu Yuan might not understand, so he went straight to the point and told him his thoughts.

Lu Yuan gave a wry smile and gently shook his head.

"That's not what I meant. I would like to pass on this technology to you, but you don't have any information on it, so there's no point in taking it back."

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, General Ouyang was momentarily stunned.

Why do you say that?

Lu Yuan pursed his lips and pointed to the battery on the table whose value was still rising.

"What would you think if I told you that antimatter was added to this stuff?"

His words immediately caused an uproar at the scene.

Cao Kun, who was standing to the side, was instantly awakened by Lu Yuan's words. He stared wide-eyed at the battery on the table.

He slapped his forehead hard, wishing he could smash his brains apart.

"Damn it, I completely forgot about such an important new material, antimatter, that's right, antimatter. Only antimatter can create this kind of thing."

However, he was immediately shocked by his own words.

"Antimatter! He's actually managed to master antimatter and is using it in new materials. Damn it, what exactly did he do?"

Cao Kun felt that his eyes couldn't see enough as he stared intently at the battery on the table.

He kept calculating in his mind what methods the other party had used to produce these antimatter particles.

However, after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what method the other party had used. He stared intently at Lu Yuanxian, wanting to see how the other party would respond.

But all they heard Lu Yuan say was softly.

"This substance was collected by us thousands of meters underwater. It's something that's extremely rare, so I'd like to tell you not to waste your time on it."

However, Lu Yuan's words immediately caused a frenzy at the scene.

"Are you kidding me? Does he think that just because he can create antimatter, others can't collect it?"

"He's too arrogant, he's really too arrogant, I can't stand him."

"That's right, the bigwigs in the military are all waiting here. He actually told others not to waste their time. What does that mean?"

"They look down on the military, which means they think they're more capable than the military. Isn't that right?"

General Ouyang, standing to the side, showed a hint of surprise on his face.

"Young man, you just said that you can find this thing but we can't. Are you saying that our military doesn't have this capability?"
