"This is so unfair to us! How can we give up! Those people in the rich neighborhood are still living a life of debauchery, it's not fair!"

"We can't go on like this; we must protect our own interests!"

"It's the 21st century now, things aren't that easy! We can't keep giving in; we have to take control of our own lives!"

Voices rose all around, each expressing their helplessness in life. This situation was not unique to Chouguo; many people spontaneously gathered together.

Tonight is going to be a sleepless night.

"Miss, everything is arranged. Large crowds have already gathered in many places and are just waiting for your instructions."

Upon hearing Su Bufan's voice, Su Ran nodded and finally purchased the weapon from the system shop. Seeing the drastically reduced price, Su Ran felt no heartache whatsoever.

This is a new weapon that has appeared in the system store. It is more advanced than the one we saw before. It will not cause the local area to sink, and it will only take three years for the ecology to fully recover after all the buildings disappear.

Then the local energy resources can be fully extracted, which provides another avenue for energy extraction.

Thinking of this, Su Ran took out her phone. Although there was a time difference between China and other countries, Su Ran's phone number had been marked by the higher-ups.

Upon receiving Su Ran's call, he convened a meeting with everyone.

"Sir, I am Su Ran."

At this moment, Su Ran was unaware that a large meeting was being held on the other side because of her.

In fact, they had already completely trusted Su Ran over the past few years and affirmed her abilities. This is a blessing for China's flower industry and for all its members.

"Sir, if the current location of the cherry blossoms were to revert to the situation four thousand years ago, would you mobilize resources to reclaim the land?"

Su Ran didn't waste any time and got straight to the point.

The people there originally thought it was some new research discovery, or that they had learned the secret behind the ugly fruit, but they didn't expect it to be a direct recognition of the cherry blossoms' ancestry.

There was a moment of silence, everyone was still, but a response came quickly.

The old man's steady voice rang out again, "Comrade Su, a thousand years ago, the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms. If the First Emperor had known this, he would have surely swept across the world. If what you say is true, based on the current strength of China, it is possible to act quickly and incorporate it into the territory of China."

"We are not blindly confident; this is based on our strength and position. China has the strength to say this, and we hope Comrade Su will not have any reservations. China is not afraid of trouble and will protect every Chinese citizen."

Listening to the old man's words, Su Ran smiled with some relief. She had been nervous at first, after all, this matter was too big for this world.

It could potentially cause instability in many places.

After all, although the population of cherry blossom growers is much smaller than the number of people who grow them, there are still as many as 120 million. If these people suddenly disappear or most of them disappear, it will definitely cause a lot of chaos.

Moreover, if the Chinese government takes action and brings back the indigenous people to the islands, then other countries in the world will focus their attention on the Chinese government and wonder if these things have been secretly dealt with by the Chinese government.

If it's just a piece of wasteland, then acquiring the land will be very easy.

Su Ran was indeed quite scared, after all, this meant that she had brought the flower planting into the open, and she might receive even more criticism, facing the accusations of many people.

But hearing the old man's affirmative words, Su Ran knew that she was overthinking it. After all, how many years had it been? How could he not know how to grow flowers?

The old saying was to finish the war first, so that one's children and grandchildren wouldn't have to fight.

We may not need what we used to have, but we can't live without it.

In the past, people couldn't get enough to eat, but now everyone can have enough to eat.

After hanging up the phone, Su Ran heard it ring for a long time. Not only her, but also an emergency meeting was being held in China at that moment.

The news was quite shocking, but they chose to believe Su Ran unconditionally. After all, she had done so much and made so many sacrifices over the years, and she was never one to make empty promises.

And so, now all departments are gathering and preparing. Everything is ready, just waiting for the right opportunity.

Su Ran looked out at the night. Under the darkness, her silhouette slowly appeared in the glass of the French windows. Su Ran raised her hand and touched her temples, wondering how many times she had seen white hair.

The first time she saw her white hair was about six years ago, when it was just beginning to grow. At that time, she was playing with her dog. Aunt Zhao thought it was just hair falling out from the bandage, but when she pointed it out, Su Ran realized that it was her own white hair.

She realized she was getting old; her white hair had grown quite rapidly in recent years, and the strands of white hair made her feel that time was passing very quickly. It felt like only yesterday that she got the system.

[Host, everything has a cause and effect; this is the law of the world. Forcibly changing it will lead to unforeseen consequences.]

Su Ran didn't speak, but looked into the distance through the glass window before slowly saying, "But didn't we do experiments? The final result was always the same, there were no variables, it was just a change in appearance."

But wouldn't you, host, do that...?

The rest of the conversation was left unsaid, but both sides understood the implication.

Even if there are variables, so what? After all, the arrival of the system has already changed the world, and the final outcome is also predetermined. The ending may have already been written.

so.

Since we're here, let's make the best of it.

Su Bufan and others are also controlling public opinion, spreading false information to more people, and deliberately directing everyone's attention in the wrong direction.

While everyone was still fiercely discussing the ugly fruit on the internet, and people all over the world were paying attention to the situation, little did they know that a shocking operation was quietly underway.

“Miss, everyone’s attention is on the ugly fruit right now, and it has also restricted Sakura’s movements.”

"Miss, everything is ready here."

"We are keeping a close eye on the news online, please rest assured, Miss."

"The international community won't be able to track us down, so Miss, feel free to do whatever you want."

Over the years, they have come to be more than just cold, obedient interstellar creatures; they have developed a sense of belonging to their home and a deep respect for their mistress.

For them, it was Miss who gave them a new life, brought them to this planet, gave them their own identities, and ensured that no one would bully them and that everyone was equal—something that had never happened in interstellar space before.

If any interstellar artifacts show any abnormalities, their owners will choose to destroy them. Their programming tells them that the parts on their bodies may have been pieced together from several destroyed artifacts.

They have no feelings, only absolute trust.
