Instantly, Lin Qianqian's hair stood on end; this was an instinct she had developed through countless battles and training with creatures from the secret realm.
Instantly, the soft gauze wrapped around her arms took flight without wind, and the pale yellow shawl instantly lengthened and widened, stretching into a thin, transparent veil. Then, it spun around Lin Qianqian, completely enveloping her, and vanished in the blink of an eye.
Only Lin Qianqian knew that an invisible veil protected her. Now, with the protection of the immortal-grade Soft Smoke Gauze, ordinary missiles couldn't harm her.
So she wasn't afraid at all when faced with the fully armed special forces soldiers rushing in, and those dozens of dark, gaping gun barrels.
Without even drawing her sword, she simply stretched out her right hand and grabbed at the people around her. All the guns in the special forces soldiers' hands were pulled to her feet by an invisible force.
Then, she made a hand seal with her left hand, and spiritual energy flew out from her hand, transforming into a rope of light in the air, instantly binding everyone except her together. The scene of dozens of people tumbling into a heap was both chaotic and somewhat comical.
Lin Qianqian didn't want to hurt them, so she didn't continue.
She looked up at one of the surveillance cameras, and she knew that the person in charge was right there!
She wasn't wrong. Soon after, a man in his fifties, who looked like a leader, appeared, jogging along.
He raised his hands slightly and called out to Lin Qianqian, "I mean no harm. Let's both calm down. We can sit down and talk about any problems."
"I have no ill intentions, and I'm quite calm. Where should we talk?"
Lin Qianqian's answer made the other party swallow back a lot of negotiating words.
This way, please!
Although Lin Qianqian wasn't like Yun Ze, who could accurately perceive the other person's good or evil, she still had basic judgment. This person did indeed seem to want to sit down and talk.
So she released those people and followed the leader to the conference room, ready to have a calm and peaceful discussion.
However, the protection of the soft silk curtain was never lifted. Because Grandma had always said that girls should protect themselves when they go out.
In the conference room, the two sides sat facing each other at the long table, giving the leader who had led the way a chance to carefully examine Lin Qianqian...
He had seen Lin Qianqian's information before, and her appearance had changed drastically from a few days ago.
She was just a pretty girl before, but now she's like a fairy descended from heaven. Her demeanor and appearance—now I finally know what it means to have celestial beauty.
He stared at her for quite a while, and although his gaze didn't seem to have any ill intent, Lin Qianqian still felt a little uncomfortable, so she coughed heavily.
Coming to his senses, he quickly introduced himself, saying, "I am Tang Dezhong, the director of the Special Incident Response Bureau. Your matter is under the full responsibility of our bureau."
Lin Qianqian had never heard of this department, so she didn't respond. Tang Dezhong wasn't annoyed, but patiently explained.
"Actually, in recent years, this world that is supposed to be scientific has been plagued by a series of bizarre events, and it has gradually become less scientific. Five years ago, Yan Country officially established the Special Events Response Bureau. Many other countries have similar organizations, but they just haven't appeared in public openly yet."
Hearing him say that, Lin Qianqian also recalled those unscientific events that had appeared in the media before.
She initially thought it was just fabricated stories by bloggers for clicks, but now it seems many of them are true.
It makes sense that such a department would be established.
Then, Tang Dezhong told her about the things that had happened in the past few days that were related to her.
More than ten minutes later, Lin Qianqian learned that her sudden disappearance in full view of everyone that day had been reported up the chain of command.
There was witness testimony and surveillance footage, and eventually the Special Incident Response Bureau took over.
After discussion and research, they felt that she might reappear, so they mobilized the army to keep watch that day. Unexpectedly, they caught her after half a month.
After Tang Dezhong finished explaining the basic situation, he asked directly, "Could you tell me exactly what happened? Why did you suddenly disappear? Where did you go after you disappeared?"
As planned, Lin Qianqian recounted most of her experience of obtaining the interdimensional trading system and transmigrating to the cultivation world. The parts she didn't mention were things that the system and Lu Wu had instructed her to keep secret.
She remembered the warnings from the system and Lu Wu!
He only said that he had traveled to a secret realm in the world of cultivation, and unexpectedly found an opportunity while hiding and dodging.
He collected the treasures, cultivated immortality, and gained magical power. Then, when the time came, he traveled back in time with the treasures.
In short, everything she could tell was her true experience; she didn't reveal a single word about what she couldn't say.
The treasures in the Cloud Void Realm and the inheritances in the Immortal God's Tomb are tempting to everyone, but she wouldn't gamble with human nature.
She carefully considered what she could and couldn't say, going over each sentence in her mind several times beforehand.
Even with just this little bit revealed, Tang Dezhong was stunned.
He expected to gain something from this trip, but he didn't anticipate such a significant gain...
After he calmed down a bit, Lin Qianqian proposed the idea of cooperating with the government.
She knew very well that she was originally just an ordinary person, without an impressive family background, outstanding abilities, or a strong network of connections.
If one were to travel between dimensions alone to conduct trade, preparing the goods for the transaction and handling the items brought back would not be easy tasks. It could easily lead to the leakage of secrets and attract unwanted attention.
Therefore, seeking cooperation with other countries is absolutely necessary!
She demonstrated her abilities, then revealed everything she could say, and finally brought out what she had prepared beforehand.
Two storage bags and a storage ring were used to empty half a conference room's worth of spirit stones, herbs, pills, talismans, flying swords, and magical treasures, all right in front of them. Tang Dezhong only put them away after examining and touching them.
She gently pushed several storage treasures in front of Tang Dezhong, then took out a few cultivation manuals and placed them together. She said casually, "I went on a long trip, and these are gifts I brought back for Father Country."
These storage treasures were left behind by cultivators who died in the secret realm during their training over millions of years. Lu Wu collected them all and threw them into a room on the third floor of the Temple of Heaven.
Lin Qianqian had gradually compiled all the items from her years in the Cloud Void Realm. The items included pouches, rings, bracelets, necklaces, belts, jade pendants, and more, ranging in quality and size. She stored them according to their grade and size, packing them into several small boxes.
The storage bags are smaller, but the space for bracelets and rings is much larger. There are also more than a dozen spaces for storing living things and growing plants, the largest being the size of a province, and the smallest being the size of two or three football fields.
This time she picked a few at random and put some things inside.
The storage bag Lin Qianqian chose wasn't very spacious and was of a low level. It didn't require binding to an owner; as long as you had enough mental energy, you could open it.
The cultivation techniques they presented were all at the beginner and intermediate levels; there were no advanced or top-level techniques.
Because advanced cultivation techniques require a large amount of spiritual energy, given the current conditions on Blue Star, it is simply impossible to cultivate advanced techniques; even beginner and intermediate levels are difficult.
There are also other things like spiritual plants and magical treasures, but they're not high-level. There's no way around it; any high-level item requires a large amount of spiritual energy.
These things alone were enough to make Tang Dezhong tremble with excitement and his blood pressure soar.
When he was about to call his superiors to report, his hands trembled for a long time, and he couldn't even type out a complete string of numbers.
