No one expected that Zhao Qingzhu would repeat herself in this matter, continuing to mock the prince of Chechi Kingdom.

This action taught everyone present a lesson: never easily offend a woman.

Offending a woman can indeed have serious consequences, at least offending Zhao Qingzhu can be very serious.

As a result, the prince of Chechi Kingdom had to be on guard at all times, as he might be ridiculed by Zhao Qingzhu at any moment.

Regarding the seating arrangement...

That's all for now.

The prince of Chechi Kingdom responded to the matter with silence, which can be considered as him giving in again, and Zhao Qingzhu stopped dwelling on it.

She sat down smugly next to Zhu Yunwen, eagerly anticipating the main topic to come.

The King of Baoxiang Kingdom, in an attempt to ease the awkwardness, spoke again:

"Ladies and gentlemen, after much anticipation, we are finally able to witness this gathering of nations. The princes and princesses present here represent their respective countries at this gathering."

I won't go into too much detail about the theme, as everyone understands the meaning and purpose of this gathering. So let's move on to the first part.

First, we should showcase some of the most cutting-edge products from various countries, preferably those closely related to daily life. Showcasing these items can pique the interest of other countries.

In future trade cooperation, it is highly likely that this will become the main product in trade transactions.

His statement was, in fact, for one purpose only: to allow countries to showcase some cutting-edge and high-end products, which could indeed attract the attention of other countries and lead to subsequent trade and exchanges.

This is somewhat similar to promoting some of the best products from one's own country.

But on a deeper level, it is also a way of showing everyone how developed and advanced their country is.

So the prince of Zhu Zi Kingdom was the first to step forward, and he smiled and said:

"In that case, I, Zhu Zi Kingdom, will make a fool of myself first. My Zhu Zi Kingdom has an item that I'm sure no other country has."

When everyone heard him say that, they all looked at him with curiosity.

Then they saw the prince of Zhu Zi Kingdom, who took out an item from his person.

He even carried this item with him at all times. After taking it out, he first showed it to everyone.

To be honest, this item is similar to a square box, about half the size of a palm, and can be easily held in your hand.

This long, narrow box has a small hole at the top. A wire is attached to the hole. Next to it is a round, black object of unknown origin.

When Zhu Yunwen first saw this thing, he was also a little confused. It looked familiar, but also somewhat strange.

This feeling of familiarity mixed with strangeness gave him a headache, and for a moment he didn't know how to describe it.

I have a feeling that I can say the name of this thing.

At this moment, the prince of Zhu Zi Kingdom, seeing everyone's great confusion, understood and, having piqued their interest, smiled and said:

"This thing can be used to start a fire. I'm sure all countries understand that fire is the seed of hope for mankind."

It can keep us warm from the cold, cook our food, ward off unknown fears, and drive away wild beasts.

In short, fire is something everyone needs in their daily lives. However, starting a fire is usually very troublesome.

The earliest method of starting fire by friction was, needless to say, extremely troublesome. Later, a method of striking pebbles together to create sparks was developed, which also allowed people to start fires.

In addition to these natural phenomena, some places are prone to fires due to excessive sunlight in summer. Lightning strikes can also easily cause fires.

Even after the advent of fire-making stones, the Ming Dynasty developed even more advanced fire starters for starting fires.

However, it is still not very convenient, cannot be stored for a long time, and is relatively troublesome to use.

Therefore, this product came into being, and it is a very powerful, high-end, and new type of fire-starting product from our Zhu Zi Kingdom.

Now I will show you..."

The prince of Zhu Zi Kingdom placed his hand on the top of the small square box, on the black round stone on one side, and then slashed it forcefully.

The round stone rotated once and rubbed against the fixed stone or iron piece at the bottom, producing sparks that directly ignited the wick next to it.

There must have been some flammable liquid on the wick, which ignited immediately when ignited by a spark.

Moreover, the flames were very stable and persistent. Then, the prince of the Kingdom of Zhu Zi suddenly slammed a small lid shut, extinguishing the fire.

When everyone took one look, they exclaimed, "Wow, is this thing really that high-end?"

Starting a fire is so convenient! You can do it all in one go – making a fire, using a fire, and putting out a fire.

This is indeed much simpler than the way people use fire in most countries, almost all countries, and it immediately piqued everyone's interest.

So everyone started asking, what's this thing called?

The prince of Zhu Zi Kingdom was also very happy and said:

"This item is called the Super Invincible Thunder and Lightning Fire-Starting Artifact."

Upon hearing the name, everyone was stunned. It was indeed convenient and far more effective than the methods of starting fire in most countries.

But isn't such a name a bit too exaggerated?

Clearly, the awkward atmosphere made the prince of Zhu Zi Kingdom realize that things had gone a bit too far.

So he coughed and said:

"Actually, this name is just a nickname for this thing; its real name is..."

For a moment he was stunned, after all, the name they had given this thing was indeed the same as the one before.

The situation is a bit awkward, so I had a sudden inspiration to change my name, but I don't know what name to choose in a short time.

And so, at this moment, Zhu Yunwen slowly began to speak:

"lighter?"

The moment those three words were uttered, everyone present immediately felt a sense of warmth and familiarity.

The prince of Zhu Zi Kingdom also spoke excitedly:

"Yes, yes, that's the name, that's the name of our item..."

The princes and princesses from various countries present couldn't help but roll their eyes. So, just because someone gives you a name, you just say that's their name?

Zhu Yunwen was both amused and exasperated.

He thought to himself, why didn't I think of fixing this fire-starting device myself?

For example, he made a lighter. But you have to admire Zhu Ziguo; he's quite skilled in this area, at least he made a lighter.

This gathering was somewhat interesting, making Zhu Yunwen feel that the trip was worthwhile.
