72 Days of Scavenging

As the little robot was led through the conference room door, the negotiators from all sides, who were engaged in a heated debate, all turned their attention to it.

Those who were well-informed could no longer contain themselves and stood up, their eyes filled with fervor and longing as they looked at him.

That's a possessive desire for powerful weapons.

As the meeting host introduced the robot's identity, almost everyone present was filled with the same intense emotion!

In their eyes, the person standing in the center at this moment is not a person, but a weapon, a tool, that allows them to gain more say and get more of what they want.

The little robot wasn't angry at these stares.

Ultimately, he is a robot, and these are humans. Even if he can now understand human expressions to some extent, he doesn't feel that he is completely one of them.

Time is also a resource. Instead of wasting it on people you can't understand, it's better to spend more time with people who have positive emotions and experience more comfortable feelings.

The little robot ignored the humans it didn't like and only greeted the people on the Beiyan side.

This scene filled those who wanted to possess the powerful weapon with envy and jealousy.

But...

The displeasure in everyone's hearts did not linger for long, because they remembered the main purpose of the meeting.

In their view, although Beiyan possesses such powerful weapons, some things cannot be solved simply by having powerful weapons. Given time, with the assistance of scroll weapons, Beiyan will naturally be able to rise to power.

However, the current northern extension is no match for the pressure from so many countries.

In the minds of all the negotiators present, no one, including Beiyan, would agree to this outcome.

Even if only a portion of this technology is made public, all these parties present will benefit, which is still good. At least our side got a share of the profits.

After all, I'm not some kind of bully, so I can't push people too far.

Thinking this way, they felt they were incredibly kind.

The people on the north side seemed oblivious to the obvious ambitions of the group around them.

The diplomat stood up and explained the scroll plan in an orderly manner, without any concealment.

They even openly revealed that the core weapon of the Scroll Project was not actually a weapon, but rather Comrade Ji Tong's special ability.

Those present listened with wide eyes, as if hearing a myth.

If it weren't for the context, they would have thought they were listening to a story!

I've heard that China used to have many storytellers. Could they have actually found one?

Things like "magic" and "magic scrolls"...

Apart from the speaker's voice, the venue was completely silent.

China clearly anticipated this.

After the theoretical explanation, it was the turn of the main speaker to personally demonstrate for them.

The little robot took out a blank scroll that it had prepared beforehand and began to draw magic patterns in front of everyone.

Everyone gathered around.

They stared wide-eyed, craned their necks, and even the shorter ones stepped onto nearby tables and chairs without hesitation, just to peek through the gaps in the crowd.

At that moment, they no longer cared about etiquette, manners, or image.

This is a completely different direction from the scientific system they know!

And it's so powerful!

Regardless of their intentions, they didn't want to miss any scenes.

Some were even annoyed, wondering why they hadn't thought to bring a camera! At that moment, they wouldn't have hesitated to carry a massive camera that was taller than a person themselves!

Human actions had no effect on the little robot.

He skillfully finished drawing the scroll, and as the last stroke fell, the entire scroll automatically and slowly closed up, successfully becoming a usable magic scroll.

The little robot held the scroll in its hand and looked at the humans around it: "Want to try it out?"

Only the Chinese nodded openly.

The others hesitated slightly, unsure whether to agree.

They had to admit that at that moment, they were actually afraid!

The weapons known as the "Scroll" series have long been a source of devastation on the battlefield. Their unpredictable and elusive attack methods are one of the reasons why even large armies struggle to defend against them.

Now, although this meeting venue is not small, it is nothing compared to the battlefield between the two armies!

Most of them are good with words, but in terms of combat ability, they rely solely on guards.

Besides, even if their individual combat strength is comparable to that of a top soldier, they still cannot resist the scroll weapon.

So how could they not be afraid, how could they dare to casually ask for a trial?

Just as the atmosphere was getting tense, the North Yan'an JSG diplomat suddenly realized something and said, "Oh dear, what a forgetful thing I am! I forgot to tell you all. Don't worry, this scroll is just for display and has no harmful effects. Please don't panic or be afraid. Just enjoy it. As the hosts, we certainly won't let you have a bad experience. Please sit down and enjoy it."

The diplomat spoke in a gentle and approachable tone, and his smile was even more friendly.

However, the faces of everyone else present had turned ashen.

Looking at the smiling face of the diplomat from Beiyan, they wished they could throw a black cloth over and cover it up!

However, since Bei Yan had already said so, no matter how uneasy everyone was, they had no choice but to save face, return to their seats, and agree to try out the scroll.

The little robot, having received the "continue" signal, did not immediately tear open the magic scroll, but instead handed it to the human next to it.

"The way to start it is to just tear it open; you can try it."

He didn't care that the person was a foreigner; after all, it was all part of a pre-arranged process, and it didn't matter who it was.

The foreigner was taken aback when the scroll was suddenly handed to him, but then his face lit up with joy. He didn't bother with formalities and took it without hesitation, his heart pounding.

People from other countries around them were filled with regret. Why hadn't they sat closer? Otherwise, they would have been the ones handling the powerful weapon!

Under various gazes, the person holding the scroll carefully grasped both sides and gently tore it open... Huh? It didn't tear open?

The man was taken aback, thinking that he hadn't used enough force.

That makes sense. After all, it would be too dangerous if such a powerful weapon could be torn apart so easily!

So he increased the force and tried to tear it open—but he still couldn't!

He didn't even tear the edge of the scroll, let alone tear it!

This time, the man refused to believe it. Gritting his teeth, he used all his strength to tear—

It still won't open!

His actions naturally caught the attention of others who hadn't taken their eyes off the scroll.

The scene immediately became somewhat agitated.

A diplomat from the northern border region spoke up at the opportune moment: "Anyone who is interested is welcome to come forward and give it a try."

Immediately, someone reached for the scroll and snatched it away without waiting for the first person to give it to them.

Tear it with maximum force right from the start.

However, the scroll, which looked exactly like paper, remained completely still.

The others couldn't sit still either. One after another, they took the scrolls and tried to tear them open. Those who couldn't tear them open themselves even called over the stronger guards behind them to try.

Later on, several people even teamed up to tear each other apart like in a tug-of-war.

The scroll remained as solid as a rock, showing no signs of cracking.

Even after everyone was exhausted and their hands and feet were starting to go weak, no one was able to tear open the scroll.

Throughout the entire process, the northern extension did not obstruct anything.

The scroll was returned to the little robot's hands only when everyone had to admit that they really couldn't tear it open.

Only then did they remember what Beiyan had said earlier: only Najitong, who possessed "magic," could open the scroll.

It's not that we hadn't heard about it before, it's just that nobody believed such a thing could exist.

Only now, when they reflect on this, do they have to admit that perhaps such a thing really exists.

Once everyone had returned to their seats, the little robot gently tore open the magic scroll in front of everyone!

In an instant, the entire conference hall felt as if a gentle breeze had swept across the room. Before anyone could even be alert, someone couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Before their very eyes, the austere conference hall was suddenly bursting with vibrant flowers, transforming the entire space into a sea of ​​blossoms!

These flowers fluttered in the air, blooming brightly and beautifully. If you reached out to touch them, you could feel their soft petals, and their fragrance lingered clearly in your nose.

The whole scene was dreamlike and ethereal, as if one had entered a fairyland.

Everyone was speechless at the beauty of the scene.

Surrounded by this dreamlike sea of ​​flowers, and with the North Yan side maintaining a very good attitude and not resisting as much as everyone had expected, the atmosphere of the entire meeting suddenly softened considerably.

Next, when the Northern Frontier reiterated that the scroll weapon was actually possessed by Ji Tong, and that this ability was too unique for them to disclose due to a lack of technical information, everyone couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Yes, yes, this is a unique ability of one person, unlike real weapons which have data. Bei Yan was just lucky; what high technology could they possibly have?

What Bei Yan said next made everyone even happier.

Beiyan stated that since Najitong is a human being, Beiyan respects every human being and naturally will not restrict Najitong's freedom. Beiyan agreed to process his application for overseas travel.

How could these words not make everyone happy!

As for what will happen after this Najitong comes to his country for tourism, who can predict that!

Immediately, everyone extended an invitation, eagerly anticipating the event. Even though Bei Yan mentioned that there were conditions before the procedures could be completed, they nodded without feeling any discomfort.

Then they heard:

"Since we have been so generous in sharing our most important secrets with you, you should treat us equally. That is the proper way to conduct business with us."

As they spoke, someone handed out documents to the heads of various countries.

The document wasn't thick, just some table of contents, but the words on it instantly cooled the feverish excitement that had been building up in everyone's heads.

The paper clearly listed the names of their respective countries' top-secret technologies!

Firearms still in the experimental stage, newly developed fighter jets, special drugs that have just passed biological experiments, machine tools developed at great expense... and so on.

With a loud "bang," someone slammed their hand on the table.

He is the head of the various countries.

At this moment, the blond manager in a suit was furious, his face flushed red, his hand slamming on the table until it was red, and his gaze towards Beiyan was filled with anger: "Fuck! We will never hand over the atomic bomb technology! You're trying to antagonize our nation! Do you want to start a war with us?!"
