Qiu Xingzhou listened intently to their conversation, so focused that he didn't even flinch when his cigarette ash burned quite a bit.
Seeing Shen Shiwei's defeat, he looked at Chang Chengxin, the commander of the Central Theater Command, who was standing to the side.
"Xiao Chang, do you have any ideas?"
Chang Chengxin gave a helpless, bitter smile: "Secretary Qiu, even Commander Shen, a seasoned veteran, couldn't do anything, so I..."
"Moreover, if what the Feng family head said is true, then I'm afraid no special operations methods will work."
Even if Qiu Xingzhou was shrewd and good-tempered.
At that moment, he stubbed out his cigarette and cursed, "Fuck you."
Shen Shiwei slapped the armrest of the sofa and said, "Forget it, let's just blow it up and be done with it. We don't need the crystal."
Although that's what he said, everyone knew that Shen Shiwei was just saying it out of anger.
No crystals? Easier said than done.
The importance of crystals is self-evident.
Besides, if he really wanted to give up the crystal, what would he do with the reward he promised Liu Kai for the spot?
Is it really true that we can only rely on Liu Kai again?
The mighty state apparatus was helpless, and it was up to one person to break the deadlock.
It's quite ironic.
At this point, Qiu Xingzhou had forcibly shaken off his anger and regained his composure.
In fact, many things become quite simple once you calm down and think about them.
It's simply a matter of weighing the pros and cons.
The crystals and the research data are extremely important and should not be abandoned unless absolutely necessary.
So now we need to see what price Liu Kai will offer if we entrust him with the task.
Weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.
Helpless, he could only put on that kind smile again.
She called softly, "Little Liu?"
Seeing Liu Kai raise his head, he continued, "Little Liu, if I were to send you, how confident would you be?"
"Eighty percent."
Liu Kai was concise, uttering only two words.
To him, those so-called 200 heavily armed personnel were nothing but chickens and dogs, and he wasn't worried about them at all.
The reason why it wasn't said to be 100% certain was because the 20% variable was the so-called blessed land.
He was all too aware of the strangeness and mystery of the space.
Without being on-site, it's impossible to determine whether an emergency has occurred.
No one was surprised by Liu Kai's confident assessment.
But the bitterness in my heart only intensified.
Even the authorities are helpless and have no chance of winning, but this person is 80% confident in doing it all by himself.
It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy.
"Hehe, be straightforward, Xiao Liu. Just tell me what kind of payment you want all at once."
Upon hearing this, Liu Kai put down his teacup, sat up straight with a smile on his face.
"Alright, since Secretary Qiu is so agreeable, then I won't stand on ceremony."
Upon hearing this, the group felt a jolt in their hearts.
But they were also mentally prepared for Liu Kai to make an exorbitant demand.
Seeing their expressions, Liu Kai chuckled and said, "Don't be so serious. I only have two simple conditions."
Simple, small conditions? You're kidding me.
The group clearly did not believe it.
"First, I want another crystal spot."
Upon hearing this, everyone visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
After the First Elder and Second Elder died, their children were also sentenced to death.
Therefore, it's not so hard to accept that five spots were freed up and one more was given to Liu Kai.
But after relaxing, everyone immediately became alert again.
The first condition is so simple; it seems the second condition is the real challenge.
"As for the second one..."
Sure enough, when Liu Kai spoke again, the three of them were on edge once more.
"I hope Secretary Qiu will make a promise... no, I hope a regulation will be issued immediately."
Upon hearing this, everyone, including Kazami Yuki, was taken aback.
Should regulations be issued immediately?
Do you think these rules are your family's regulations, something you can just dictate and then enforce?
Regardless of the content, anything personally issued by the General Secretary of a country is of great importance.
As is customary, the process involves democratic consultation, soliciting opinions, trial implementation, and large-scale rollout.
None of these steps can be omitted in order to ensure justice and correctness.
Moreover, once the regulations are issued, it's not just about discarding energy; it's about public credibility and the nation's reputation.
Given Liu Kai's self-serving nature, he'll probably demand rules specifically tailored for him.
To put it mildly, it is at least a violation of the ideology of the privileged class that goes against the principles of populism.
To put it bluntly, accusations of subverting the regime and rebellion can be leveled against them.
Qiu Xingzhou's face immediately darkened.
His brows furrowed, but he patiently asked one last time in a cold voice, "Explain in detail!"
Seeing the anger about to burst forth in their eyes, Liu Kai knew exactly what they were thinking.
But this time they were destined to be disappointed.
The regulation states that all Chinese citizens aged 16 to 55 can receive a free injection of a body-enhancing drug!
"It will still be valid for those who turn 16 in the future, or even after the cold wave has passed."
After saying these two sentences, Liu Kai's lips curled into a playful smile.
He secretly rejoiced, thinking, "Surprised? Unexpected?"
"What?!"
All four people in the meeting room looked as if they had seen a ghost, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Qiu Xingzhou disregarded all decorum and stood up abruptly.
Staring intently into Liu Kai's eyes, he said in a deep voice, "Do you know what you're saying?!"
"The cost of the second-generation 'Peach of Immortality' potion..."
"No, no, no, Secretary Qiu, you've misunderstood!"
Liu Kai interrupted Qiu Xingzhou without any hesitation.
"I'm talking about the low-cost, stripped-down version developed by the Feng family, not the second-generation 'Peach' from the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
