I can understand asking him for help, but whether I believe he can actually help is another matter.
The former means they hope he can help, but they are not necessarily sure they can.
In other words, do your best and leave the rest to fate.
But the second sentence is different.
In other words, they learned through certain channels that he had a way to solve the problem facing the plateau, which is also the problem facing Chizhou.
As for what this channel is, that remains unknown.
Either they know he has such a thing, or they deduce from some source that he can manufacture or develop such a thing.
As for the former... there shouldn't be a big problem. Since that thing was made, it has been kept at home and has basically never been seen in public. It's impossible for anyone to know about it.
"Then there's only one possibility... my identity has been exposed!"
Of course, the identity revealed is definitely not that of Superman, but rather his identity as someone with powerful research and creative abilities.
"What's the big deal?"
Upon closer reflection, Gao Ang realized he was overthinking things.
From ROG to robots, and then to all sorts of other random, cross-disciplinary gadgets, it's not unreasonable to think that he could come up with something related to agriculture.
However, he always felt that something was wrong.
"I'm asking you, what exactly did your superiors say?"
Gao Feng frowned and pointed the camera at himself, wanting to project a serious and earnest attitude.
"Huh? What do you mean by 'how'? I just... I just said it casually."
Xiao Ming panicked a little; he felt like he had revealed something.
"Don't try to fool me, behave yourself!"
He glared at me with his big, proud eyes, giving me a look that said, "If you don't cooperate, I'll beat you up."
Seeing Gao Ang's expression, Xiao Ming knew he couldn't keep up the pretense any longer, so he could only vaguely say, "It's nothing, I just think you're a talented person, the kind of genius comparable to Darwin or Tesla. Your expertise definitely extends beyond physics and chemistry; you must have some knowledge in other fields as well. For example, you must have some expertise in agriculture, which is vital to the national economy and people's livelihood. That's why I came to urge you on..."
That's it?
"Is that all? You can ask my boss if you don't believe me!"
Zhang Xiaoming panicked. He had already spilled almost everything he knew, but he didn't know if he would get a beating when he got back...
Why even ask? Gao Ang wouldn't bother asking who his boss is.
"Your Excellency, bring that thing here, along with the documents!"
A short while later, Chisui came in carrying a small bottle and a stack of documents.
"Here's what you wanted. Come and get it yourself!"
Pointing to what Qian Sui was holding, Gao Ang hung up the phone in a huff.
"Dealing with these people is exhausting; it's all about scheming and calculation, and they never seem to give you a proper rest..."
Muttering to himself, Gao Ang climbed into bed and went to sleep.
As if by prior arrangement, the phone rang again as soon as Xiaoming hung up and Gao Ang climbed into bed, before the blankets had even warmed up.
"Who is it? Can't a person get some sleep in the middle of the night?!"
"Sir, it belongs to Miss Wan!"
"Who is it, Lao Wan?"
Gao Ang jumped up and quickly answered the video call.
"It's so late, aren't you asleep yet?"
She was completely different from how she was when she was angry just now.
"You're asleep already? What time is it?"
On the other end of the phone, Lao Wan was wearing a bathrobe and sitting on the sofa. The background looked like a bedroom because there was a large bed with a large, fluffy plush toy on it.
The most eye-catching thing is the robot standing by the bed.
"It's freezing cold, why don't you get into bed? What's up?"
"It's nothing, I just asked you to play a game. Auto Chess has been updated, and a new hero has been released..."
While Lao Wan was talking non-stop, Gao Ang turned on the computer and said, "Wait for me, I'll be right there."
What heroes have been updated?
"White Bull, you could call him an assassin. I've invented a new lineup, a fake nine-assassin, it's going to be interesting. Every strike is like a raging fire, let me tell you..."
While Lao Wan was still rambling on the other end of the phone, Gao Ang had already entered the game and started checking for updates.
But when he saw the updated hero, he suddenly realized something.
The image carved on the meteorite in Xia Yu's box, isn't that the new hero?
Thinking about this, Gao Ang seemed to have a clue.
The white ox, commonly known as Isis, also has another name due to its appearance: "Carrying the Kettle".
He was carrying a broken chamber pot and charged at the local heroes.
What's the homonym for "Linghuchong"? It sounds like Linghuchong!
Of course, Xia Yu didn't mean for Gao Ang to watch "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer"; there must have been other implications.
While playing games with Lao Wan, Gao Ang pondered this clue.
"Old Gao, are you allowed to go home for the Chinese New Year where you are?"
"Let me... no, I don't know, what's wrong?"
"...Nothing, it's just that we're encouraging people to celebrate the New Year locally, I was just asking casually. By the way, what are you doing here?"
"Whatever, we'll play whatever comes our way..."
Leaning back in his chair, Gao Ang rubbed his chin, wondering what Xia Yu meant by sending him this meteorite.
He opened the drawer and stared at the broken stone repeatedly.
As for its shape... it's a square, with a line in the middle and two dots on each side...
"Holy crap, isn't that the game logo?"
He slapped his head and suddenly realized what was going on.
When the game first came out, people complained that it was ugly and looked like a pile of poop.
It's been seven or eight years, and he almost forgot about that joke.
"But what does this have to do with games?"
A game involves too many factors.
If you add up all the developers, operators, operating platforms, outsourced graphic designers, etc., the number of people involved is not small.
Especially the game he played, which was developed and published by Valve itself...
"Wait, Valve... This game was developed and published by them, which means that everyone involved in this game is from the country... Could it be that the clue Xia Yu gave us is related to the country?"
Even if it's a mountain kingdom, now that we have the location, other factors are still missing, such as the people, and so on...
"People... Could it be that 'Carrying the Pot' refers to certain people or a specific individual?"
"Your Majesty, investigate this..."
As soon as he spoke, he remembered a document he had once read.
"You're ordering the Emperor around again. Be careful not to anger him and have him poison your Da Hong Pao. There was a news story recently about a game company CEO who was poisoned to death by the CEO of his subsidiary..."
When Lao Wan heard him yelling at Qian Sui in YY, he immediately teased him.
"No way! Qian Sui and I are brothers by blood. Anyone could betray me, but he would never!"
After dealing with Lao Wan, Gao Ang continued to think about his own problems.
When they were investigating the truth behind Xia Jiancheng's death, Xia Weiwei's father, they discovered five key figures connected to him.
Of these five people, three died, one was disabled, and one fled.
The one who is disabled, the one who has a mental illness and is under close surveillance, is in a mental hospital.
The one who fled happened to have the surname Linghu, and his full name was Linghu Buqi.
A very strange name, a very strange person.
This person's ancestors were considered a prominent local family, belonging to the small landlord class in the old society. Later, in response to the policy, they transformed themselves into people in the medical system.
There are several other brothers and sisters in the family, most of whom work in the medical system.
Moreover, there is another crucial point: this guy and Zhen Feitian, who fled to the mountain country, are from the same hometown, both from Xishan Province.
To be more specific, their hometowns, or ancestral homes, are adjacent to each other.
One was in the south, the other in the north, and both of them started their businesses in the provincial capital of Xishan...
"Your Majesty, compile a list of information on Linghu Buqi and Zhen Feitian, and see if there are any other points of overlap between them."
While fiddling with the game, Gao Ang sent commands to Qian Sui through his consciousness.
This should also be part of Xia Yu's plan.
He must have anticipated that Gao Feng would be able to solve this puzzle.
As for whether Xia Yu's real clue lies with Zhen Feitian or Linghu Buqi, that remains to be seen.
But at the very least, it proves one thing: the clue must be in the Mountain Kingdom, because those two good-for-nothings are playing hide-and-seek there.
One became a deadbeat with a green card from the mountain country, while the other enjoys the protection of local security in the mountain country and probably also got a green card...
"Looks like I'll have to make a trip to Luoshan City in the Mountain Kingdom!"
It was exactly dawn in the mountain country at this time.
After playing with Lao Wan until 11:30, Gao Ang decisively disconnected the game, saying, "Go to sleep, it's so late."
"oh!"
Without rebuttal or questioning, Lao Wan obediently said goodnight.
"Your Majesty, locate those two bastards. I'll go and meet them right away."
After tidying up some things, Gao Ang opened the bedroom window.
"Zhen Feitian has been located. He just woke up and is jogging. He has bodyguards around him. The location is...; Linghu Buqi has not been found yet, but based on the analysis of his security and cleaning staff, he should not be up yet. The security around the manor is not much different from usual, so we should not have alerted him!"
When Qian Sui mentioned "stirring up trouble," he was referring to Xia Yu's side. Gao Ang thought that since Xia Yu had pointed out this clue to him, it meant that something had happened over there.
It seems that Xia Yu and his group in Xiamen may have noticed something, so they shifted some suspicions to Linghu Buqi and Zhen Feitian.
"Whether it's a conspiracy or an open scheme, I'll accept it!"
Taking a deep breath, Gao Ang vanished from his spot, and what followed was a long yet simple journey.
The straight-line distance from Shanghai to Luoshan City is just over 10,000 kilometers.
At his speed, it would only take him less than ten minutes to fly at full speed.
At an altitude of 10,000 meters, it soars freely and proudly.
There was no sound of air being cut by any object, nor any other random flying objects; it was just an unidentified object that neither others nor instruments could see, flying rapidly.
He hadn't deliberately used his abilities during this time, so his large battery had enough energy stored up. Therefore, only 8 minutes had passed when he arrived in Luoshan City.
Eight minutes to cross the Pacific Ocean, from Shanghai to Los Angeles – thrilling!!
"It's a pity that no one can share this thrill with me."
Gao Feng revealed himself in a rather inconspicuous corner.
Although he has yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes, he is not particularly outstanding or eye-catching in Luoshan City.
Among the crowds coming and going on the street, every now and then a few passersby with the same skin color would walk by.
The only things that are noteworthy are his height and good looks.
As for the bald head... simple, a baseball cap covers it completely.
He paired it with a hoodie, jeans, and canvas shoes, hands in his pockets, and wired earphones in his ears.
He shook his head and swayed from side to side, looking exactly like a young man of East Asian descent.
Following the directions given by Qian Sui, Gao Ang quickly found his way to the vicinity of Linghu Buqi's manor.
This estate, nestled against the mountains and overlooking the sea, is even more luxurious and imposing than Robert's original one.
After a few quick glances, Gao Ang had a pretty good grasp of the situation inside.
It was more of a fortress than a manor.
The group consisted of at least a hundred or so people, including some with heavy weapons.
The most striking feature is the three watchtowers, arranged in a triangle, offering a panoramic view of the entire area surrounding the manor.
These three watchtowers are also the highest points in the vicinity, except for that hilltop further away.
Speaking of the hilltop, Gao Ang glanced over there again.
As expected, there was another outpost there, with only five people, just the right number for a small assault team.
There was also an anti-riot civilian armored vehicle, which, judging by its appearance, must have been modified. It could easily crush an infantry mine.
They support each other from above and below, forming a pincer movement...
"If it were an ordinary person, it would be really difficult to break into this manor."
Fortunately, Gao Ang is no ordinary person.
He didn't intend to just charge in and skin Linghu Buqi alive.
In that case, the commotion will definitely be significant.
Given Xiamen and Xia Yu's capabilities, they are highly likely to discover that something unexpected has happened here, should there be any movement.
They had just revealed Linghu Buqi's information to him, and in less than a day, there was already movement on this side.
It's worth noting that even the fastest flight from Shanghai to Los Angeles takes nearly twelve hours.
Upon further investigation, it was discovered that Gao Feng had no record of leaving the country at all...
As for Gao Feng's subordinates? That's impossible.
It's only been a few days since the high-profile start?
He doesn't have the ability to gather so many followers.
So, isn't this clearly telling Xiamen and Xia Yu: I, Gao Ang, have a problem!
Since a direct assault is not feasible, we must resort to strategy.
Los Angeles is a large city, after all, it has the reputation of being a world-class metropolis.
It was indeed a small place. Gao Ang found a coffee shop, and while drinking coffee from a foreign land, he firmly grasped the whereabouts of Zhen Feitian and Linghu Buqi.
Zhen Feitian was still the same as always; even abroad, his office was still filled with reporters at this moment.
He himself sat down with the crowd in a very down-to-earth manner, drinking tea and chatting.
"Our TS cars have obtained production qualifications... You've all probably seen the concept car, and today, we'll take you on a ride-through... I also hope you'll report the facts truthfully... This is a small thank-you gift for you all... No need for excessive praise, just be factual..."
Zhen Feitian waved his hand, and his beautiful secretary came over carrying a box...
"How shameless! You're talking about being truthful, yet you're still giving them money..."
He took a sip of coffee, smacked his lips twice, and said, "It's just the same taste. Why do all those people like to come to this lousy place? Is the grass really greener on the other side?"
Gao Ang sipped his coffee while muttering complaints to himself.
At this moment, Linghu Buqi finally finished washing up and entered the large restaurant.
