"Let us welcome Comrade Li Sikai, the successor to the position of General Secretary of the Qinghua Kingdom."
The bigwigs and reporters at the press conference applauded; they had a general idea of what was going to happen before they arrived.
Viewers at home were completely bewildered, wondering what General Manager Li was up to.
Today, wasn't the topic of the food crisis supposed to be discussed? How did it all turn into a discussion about "choosing a crown prince"?
While everyone was puzzled, General Li spoke up: "I know you have many questions, so let me reveal the answer for you. What you are about to see may overturn your previous understanding, but please believe that this kind of non-scientific thing is real."
Li Sikai nodded, introduced himself to everyone, and then explained, "I am a spatial ability user."
As soon as he finished speaking, the room erupted in an uproar. Everyone wondered if they had misheard, whispering to each other to make sure they hadn't misheard.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with unspeakable surprise, yet they also felt that it was only natural.
Li Sikai on the television seemed to anticipate everyone's reaction, pausing for a full three minutes before continuing to speak.
"I am a space-based ability user, and my space can be used for planting. Although Qinghua Kingdom is facing a food crisis, my space can provide the alliance with a continuous supply of food. Although the quantity is limited, it will not run out. As long as we work together, we can overcome this difficulty."
Therefore, viewers in front of your televisions, please keep hopeful; one day, we will usher in a bright tomorrow.
As if worried that people wouldn't believe him, Li Sikai performed a magic trick in front of everyone. He made the cup on the desk disappear in an instant, and then he made the staff member next to him vanish.
"Oh my God!" A gasp rippled through the crowd, and the people behind the couple gaped in astonishment. Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan, to fit the mood, also feigned surprise.
An'an and Nuannuan didn't quite understand and kept pointing at the TV, shouting, "Uncle Li Sikai!"
Shen Yanming nodded in agreement, "Yes, your Uncle Li has returned to the capital."
An'an tilted her little head and asked, "Will we be able to see Uncle Skye again?"
Shen Yanming hesitated for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "If fate allows, then yes."
An'an and Nuannuan didn't understand the hidden meaning, but when they knew they could meet again, they clapped their hands with joy.
What was said in jest was taken seriously. Although Shen Yanming lowered his voice, the survivors and guards nearby overheard it. This corroborated the rumors circulating within the guard team that Shen Yanming's family had connections in the capital.
They initially thought it was just a connection with some bigwig in the capital. But who would have thought that the couple actually had a close relationship with the next Grand Alliance Official?
This is unbelievable. We really shouldn't mess with them anymore.
The couple didn't take it seriously until they saw the staff reappear on the TV screen, which brought them back to their senses.
The staff member handed a cell phone to Li Sikai and said to the camera, "This is the interior scene I filmed."
Li Sikai accepted the phone, thanked the provider, and then connected it to the projection device. After some adjustments, everyone saw the lush, green fields stretching for hundreds of acres.
When An'an and Nuannuan saw that the mulberry tree had grown, they excitedly exclaimed, "Mommy, the tree has grown up, and there are so many fruits!"
Bi Qiaoan's eyes flickered, and she quickly told the two children to shut up.
At first glance, this statement seems reasonable, but upon closer examination, it becomes clear that the couple had known about the existence of the space for a long time.
Fortunately, everyone was focused on the interior of the space and no one noticed what was happening on their side.
Bi Qiaoan nodded perfunctorily and whispered in An'an's warm ear, "Baby, let's focus on watching TV, okay? Have you forgotten what Uncle Skye said?"
The two children's eyes darted around, remembering how the adults had repeatedly told them not to talk about what they saw in the space. They nodded and pouted.
To show her determination, Nuannuan even pinched her mouth with her little hand.
An'an followed suit, putting her little hand next to her mouth and giggling.
Bi Qiaoan was both amused and exasperated, and gently patted the two children's heads. Looking up at the TV screen, she saw that the fruit trees she had planted in the space had all grown up, wild vegetables and mushrooms were crowding under the trees, and in the distance were familiar wheat, rice and soybeans, as well as corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Several guards were harvesting the ripe grain, and they smiled happily at the camera.
The camera then pans to a warehouse. The warehouse is packed with grain, dazzling everyone's eyes.
"My God, so much food!"
"This much grain should be enough to eat for a lifetime, right?"
"I wish I had that much food. People with spatial abilities are so lucky!"
"Yes, look at him, so young to become the successor to the Grand Alliance Chief. What an incredible stroke of luck!"
Shen Yanming listened to the discussions behind him, his lips twitching, thinking to himself how naive they were.
How much did Li Sikai pay for this space?
Those who had previously lived peacefully behind the scenes were thrust into the public eye, subjected to the scrutiny of the entire nation and protected by dozens of guards. In his eyes, it was akin to a living hell.
Of course, those with a strong desire for power are an exception. But clearly, Li Sikai is not that kind of person.
"Stop being so sour. We can't farm outside anymore. As long as there are people, we can have food to eat. If you want to live a long and peaceful life, you should pray that Li Sikai lives to be a hundred years old!"
"Yes, yes, thank goodness we have a superhuman, otherwise, we wouldn't know what to do!"
The couple listened to the discussions behind them and smiled, thinking that the press conference arranged by General Manager Li should achieve the desired effect.
Li Sikai was still talking non-stop on the TV, and neither the couple paid attention to what he was saying.
However, I saw his pupils shrink, his body sway slightly, and his face turn a little pale. Then, the corners of his lips curled up, his face was full of smiles, and his eyes sparkled.
Bi Qiaoan smiled: "It seems that your wish has been fulfilled."
Shen Yanming nodded: "I hope it levels up smoothly." Ideally, it could level up three to five times in a row.
At the end of the press conference, General Manager Li said many encouraging words.
Also: "Viewers at home, if you are a person with superpowers, please contact the Imperial Capital Guard as soon as possible. We don't care if you have spatial abilities or other types of abilities; we just hope you can step forward and work with us to uncover the secrets of people with superpowers and fight against the apocalypse."
Once accepted, individuals with special abilities will enjoy the highest level of protection offered by the guard. From food and drink to safety and privacy, we will provide comprehensive protection. The Imperial Capital Guard awaits your joining us.
Li Zongmengguan never expected anyone to sign up; he just didn't want his nephew to be the most special one, so he deliberately threw out a smokescreen.
