After witnessing the power of the gun, the group was full of praise, saying that their country was truly going to become strong and would definitely become the most powerful country on the continent, not only in terms of wealth but also in terms of military strength.
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll take my leave now. The rest of the matters are up to you generals. I wish you all a swift and triumphant return." Guan Zhiyue said this very solemnly.
The group quickly bowed and clasped their hands, saying, "We will certainly not fail the Empress's trust! We respectfully see Your Majesty off."
Guan Zhiyue glanced at Li Qiji, nodded slightly, and left the imperial study, heading towards her cold palace. She wanted to see if she could pull out something like a bomb or something else powerful from her spatial storage, since she wanted to deal with Japan as soon as possible.
This Japanese nation is not only detestable in this timeline, but it was also cruel and hateful in my past life. If I could destroy this Japanese nation, that would be incredibly good news!
Then I would be a super hero.
The little tuantuan inside the space sensed Guan Zhiyue's thoughts and chuckled, teasing, "Master, do you want grenades, bombs, or those sophisticated modern weapons you have?"
Suddenly, Xiao Tuantuan's voice rang in Guan Zhiyue's mind, and it was a very teasing one at that. Guan Zhiyue was very surprised, and then she thought of something and loudly retorted, "Xiao Tuantuan, you naughty girl, why are you spying on my thoughts again? You're so annoying."
Little Tuantuan: "..." I'm speechless.
"Master, please don't wrong an innocent person! You didn't sever our connection, of course I know. Besides, what are you afraid of with me!"
"Isn't it all you want—those high-quality weapons? Actually, that's not impossible."
Xiao Tuantuan spoke in a captivating voice, with a touch of magnetism.
Upon hearing this, Guan Zhiyue immediately became interested, her eyes lighting up as she asked, "Little Tuantuan, do you mean you can get this thing out?"
Little Tuantuan leaped into the air in a flash and sat down with a thud. Guan Zhiyue was already used to this kind of sitting in mid-air, having seen it for so many years.
"That's not impossible, but..."
Upon hearing this, Guan Zhiyue exclaimed, "Wow, that really works! Does that mean I can just take out the thermal weapons from my space? If I could even take out an atomic bomb and drop one on Japan, wouldn't that wipe out the entire country?"
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Master, can you please stop thinking so wildly? You haven't even brought out any firearms yet, and you're already thinking about atomic bombs and destroying other countries right here," Little Tuantuan said disdainfully.
Guan Zhiyue muttered to herself as she walked. Bilian, who was in the Cold Palace, was pacing back and forth with Chang Le in her arms. She stood at the gate, looking around anxiously, wondering why her mistress hadn't returned yet.
As they walked, Guan Zhiyue asked her subconsciously, "Little Tuantuan, what do you think is the best way for me to resolve this matter?"
"Master, have you forgotten that you still have a mission to complete?"
"What mission?"
Little Tuantuan was truly speechless with frustration. She was absolutely furious. Why was her owner so stupid?!
"Of course it's a weight loss mission! As long as you lose weight down to eighty pounds, I, Tuantuan, guarantee that you can have anything you want." Little Tuantuan sat in mid-air, tapping its little hands, constantly encouraging Guan Zhiyue to lose weight quickly.
When Guan Zhiyue heard that he weighed 80 pounds, she thought, "But that's not a problem. After all, I used to be that thin!"
"Alright, I accept this task, but I have one condition!" Guan Zhiyue said.
Little Tuantuan was speechless. What the hell is this? They're actually making conditions! Are they trying to kill us?
"As long as you lose weight down to 80 pounds, what are your conditions?" In order to grow up as soon as possible and become an adult, Xiao Tuantuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree. As long as she could leave the space, she was willing to pay any great price.
Guan Zhiyue smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing much. Didn't you say you could produce some sophisticated firearms?"
"We're about to go fight the Japanese, so I was thinking you could give me some firearms first, and then I'll hurry up and lose weight. I'm currently 92 pounds, neither gaining nor losing any weight."
"Eighty pounds, that should be easy to lose, so..."
Little Tuantuan thought for a moment and then stopped him, saying, "Master, you're dreaming! You weigh between ninety-two and eighty pounds, that's a full twelve pounds!"
"Can you lose 12 pounds in a month and not gain it back?"
"That's just wishful thinking! Losing weight is much harder than gaining weight. You can become a big fat person just by eating a few bites. Losing weight is time-consuming and laborious, and you might not even lose a pound. You want to lose twelve pounds a month and not gain it back?"
"No, this condition is not met!" Xiao Tuantuan refused directly.
Guan Zhiyue was speechless, then she said, "Are you sure you don't want to meet this condition for me? Then I won't lose weight. I think 92 pounds per pound is enough. Besides, we don't need to be models in this era. I am already the supreme empress. What else do I need to do?"
“I have food, drink, clothes, and children. You tell me, I have no worries about food and clothing, and I can enjoy wealth and luxury. Why would I need to spend time and effort to lose weight? Even if I become as fat as a ball, I still have my brother and father to support me. I don’t need to struggle at all!”
"I can be a complete slacker, not having to worry about anything, and just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor, but you don't seem to be able to do that!"
Guan Zhiyue looked completely indifferent, but it startled Xiao Tuantuan inside the space. Xiao Tuantuan's eyes widened, and she jumped up from her seated position, as if she wanted to fly onto Guan Zhiyue's head and stomp on it.
If the contract owner doesn't achieve her initial goal, she won't have the chance to grow up, leave the space, or see the space grow stronger. She can't do that; she has to grow up and experience the seven emotions and six desires of the human world.
"Master, please don't do this! We can talk things over, please don't do this!" Little Tuantuan began to whine and beg in a very soft and cute voice, pleading with everyone in the space.
As Guan Zhiyue walked, she fanned herself with her hand, as if fanning her head. The weather was so hot! It was unbearably hot.
The sun had only just risen and I could already feel the heat; imagine how unbearable it would be at midday! This is the summer sun—it's practically deadly!
"So, are you satisfied with what I just said? And I promise you, six months, okay? I'll lose weight down to 80 pounds, and I definitely won't gain it back," Guan Zhiyue responded.
Xiao Tuantuan sighed and said, "Master, you've already drunk the spiritual spring water from the space, so drinking it no longer has any weight loss function. Therefore, you'll have to rely entirely on your own abilities to lose the last twelve pounds. So, do you really think you can lose twelve pounds in half a year?"
Upon hearing this, Guan Zhiyue exclaimed, "Good heavens!" She knew there must be something bad brewing up. This was it! He was relying entirely on himself to get those twelve pounds, without any external help. He was going to suffer a lot.
But compared to national righteousness, what does it matter if I sacrifice a little? As long as the Japanese are killed, what does it matter if I have to expend this labor and time!
After struggling for a while, Guan Zhiyue finally let out a heavy sigh of relief as she approached the entrance to the Cold Palace and said, "Fine, I promise you."
Little Tuantuan said again, "Master, I'm confirming with you again and again, are you sure? If you agree to this, there's a possibility that you'll experience a rebound during the weight loss process. Are you still willing to try?"
After listening to Xiao Tuantuan's words, Guan Zhiyue took a deep breath and said, "In the face of national interests, all personal interests are insignificant. Only when the country is strong and stable can we ordinary people have our own interests. I accept all the risks that follow. Just give me the firearms first, and I will definitely reduce my weight to eighty pounds as agreed."
Little Tuantuan was overjoyed. As long as her owner agreed to reduce her weight to eighty pounds, she would agree to anything.
What a happy ending! Little Tuantuan is back to her usual cheerful self in the space, flying around everywhere...
