The laughter of everyone abruptly stopped.
Everyone's expression froze on their faces.
They stared, mouths agape, at the incredible scene unfolding before them. A power bank the size of a palm was powering the entire factory's electrical system?! What kind of black technology was this?! It completely defied all their understanding of physics!
Zhang Pangzi's smile froze on his face. He looked as if he had been struck by lightning, his whole body stiff, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints. He tried to speak, but found that his throat felt like it was blocked by a hot iron, burning and stinging, and he couldn't make a sound.
Geng Yu and Ling Changning were also dumbfounded. They stared at the blindingly bright light, then at the small black cube, feeling as if their worldview was being repeatedly rubbed into the ground.
"Now," Qin Xiao's voice came clearly through the still-functioning speakers, reaching everyone's ears, "does anyone still think I'm acting?"

Qin Xiao walked up to Fatty Zhang, whose face had turned ashen, and handed him the "power bank".
"Vice President Zhang, you said you'd kowtow to me, is it now, or later?"
Fatty Zhang's body trembled violently, his back instantly soaked with sweat. Looking at Qin Xiao's calm face, he felt it was the face of a devil.

"What do you mean?" Qin Xiao asked.
Leng Nan's gaze swept over him, finally settling on the dazzling lights.
“This order is not a purchase. It’s a military order.” Her voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable weight. “The military needs your technology, but not for civilian use. We need a thousand of these high-energy-density special military power supplies for Operation 'Sharp Sword'.”
She paused, then spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Time limit: 72 hours."
"If the goods are not delivered within 72 hours, the contract will be void and the deposit will be refunded. And you, because you have access to the secrets of Operation 'Sharp Sword,' will be prosecuted by a military court for leaking top state secrets."
"Do you still want to take this order?"
