Mountain and Sea Restaurant?
Holy crap, this is a restaurant called "Mountain and Sea Food Restaurant"!
That Mountain and Sea Restaurant?!
Qi Jiang belatedly realized what was happening, and his scalp tingled as if he were being electrocuted. A complex mix of excitement and agitation surged up his spine and the back of his neck.
Holy crap!
Holy crap!
Alive!
alien!
They speak Chinese and sell supplies to the aliens!
The other party looked no different from an ordinary Earthling. He didn't have the three eyes and four hands he had imagined, nor did he speak with an "electronic voice." The place where they met was not a grand conference room, nor a forest with floating UFOs, but an ordinary hospital and a regular ward.
If Liu Peiqiang hadn't pointed it out, he wouldn't have even realized that the other person was special.
Qi Jiang felt like he was on a spring, taking off from the spot, wishing he could slap himself a few times for speaking recklessly.
Could the osmanthus that the aliens were talking about be just an ordinary osmanthus?
It must be some kind of high-tech medicine!
If the other party can produce plants like "rice and coconut" that don't belong to Earth, they might also have plants that can cure cancer and sun radiation!
"Osmanthus tea" might be some kind of code!
"Hello Ms. Xu, this is Qi Jiang. Welcome, welcome to Shanghai Temporary Shelter No. 3..."
Qi Jiang was so excited that he couldn't speak. He stared blankly at Liu Peiqiang and found the other man speechless, clearly not expecting that it would take him so long to react.
"No need to get so excited. Come to my shop sometime and try my cooking."
Xu Milu pointed to the communicator indicator light flashing wildly beside the other person's ear and said with a smile:
"By the way, don't you need to inform your superiors? I'm here to discuss a big business deal with you. I think the United Government will be very interested in the goods I brought."
Qi Jiang was practically slurring his words, and he ran out to make a phone call, leaving a room full of bewildered people behind.
Liu Peiqiang breathed a sigh of relief. If Qi Jiang hadn't reacted quickly enough, he would have suspected that the other party was an undercover agent sent by the rebels.
...
...
It seemed that all the large sofas and dark red wooden tables in the conference room were standard features, and the familiar setting made Xu Milu mistakenly think that she was making a deal with the Chinese government.
The already small conference room was packed. Those who were notified at the last minute rushed over as if their lives depended on it. Representatives from various countries, wearing national flags and name tags around their necks, hurried into the conference room, and even after the conference room door closed, some people were still on their way.
No one expected that the coalition government, after making so many plans and preparations, would be thrown into disarray by the enemy's sudden visit.
Time was of the essence, and the representatives from all sides did not have time to get to the venue. Therefore, they had to urgently dispatch the nearest citizens from each country to represent their respective countries at the meeting—one of the Japanese representatives looked like he was not even an adult.
The Chinese representative responsible for receiving Xu Milu was a young woman in her thirties. She had delicate features, and her gaze was neither humble nor arrogant. Her long hair was neatly tied back, and her black suit made her look exceptionally capable.
"Hello Ms. Xu, nice to meet you. I am Hao Xiaoxi, the Chinese representative of the United Nations government. China has a long history and is the only one of the four ancient civilizations that has been passed down without interruption. On behalf of China, I would like to welcome you and I am honored to have this opportunity to communicate with you."
— Hao Xiaoxi’s serious demeanor was just like a female version of “Chen Yuanyu”.
Having seen too many tricks, Xu Milu got tired of beating around the bush and went straight to the point:
"Ms. Hao, before we begin today's conversation, I would like to ask whether the coalition government has been tracking my whereabouts? Or, to put it another way, was someone monitoring me online before I contacted the authorities?"
Hao Xiaoxi was slightly taken aback, then decisively denied it:
"China has always respected the privacy of people around the world, and China's relations with the outside world are also a key focus of our attention. Before we made contact with you, we did not attempt to contact you through other channels. Why did you say that? Did you encounter any difficulties or discover any problems?"
Xu Milu nodded, having no intention of covering for the suspected machine life form, and promptly sold it off completely.
"Yes, before that I was being monitored by what appeared to be a mechanical life form, or what you would call a super-intelligent robot on Earth."
She tilted her head slightly and smiled at the electronic camera on the wall: "Ah, maybe our conversation right now is within their monitoring range."
"!"
"?"
"What?"
Hao Xiaoxi's pupils dilated in shock, and everyone in the conference room subconsciously looked at the flashing red electronic eye, their hearts churning with a tremendous wave of emotion.
Why is the other party completely unpredictable?
If you knew you were being monitored, why did you still say it when there were electronic eyes watching you?
What is this? A witch self-destructing?
To jump out and say there are wolves, aren't you afraid of being assassinated?
"Because this is not a problem that I need to worry about, nor is it a situation that I need to think about. I am just a merchant who wanders the universe selling ingredients. I will appear wherever there is profit."
Xu Milu remained calm:
"Don't worry, I'm only here to investigate the market. After all, I need to know what kinds of plants are suitable for the earth. In fact, if your people hadn't discovered me, I was planning to continue doing volunteer work for two more days."
A murmur of discussion filled the meeting room. After a long while, a US representative wearing simultaneous interpretation headsets finally raised a question:
