Chapter 225 Chapter 225
Chapter 225
The officials of country A are indeed not stupid. Not only are they not stupid, they are also very smart.
But just as all the codes of the shit mountain were written by the smartest minds, the codes of this shit mountain in country A are also maintained by this group of the smartest minds.
Do they know that these two funding schemes have pitfalls? Of course they do.
Do they have a choice?
They only have the choice of choosing one of the plans.
——Besides, having smart brains doesn’t mean it’s not a makeshift team.
So after intense discussions, the proposal of the Congress of Country A was - they wanted it all.
"I know this situation is indeed a bit crazy, but Congress is also considering national security. If there are checks and balances on both sides, we don't have to worry about the other side using us as slaves or experimental subjects - you also know the special nature of your Special Management Bureau."
Councillor Sarah rubbed her brows with a headache and said to Director Yang in front of her.
After Congress discussed this plan, Director Yang was the first to get the news - their Special Management Bureau had to be responsible for security.
Who made Sheng Xingsi a member of the Special Management Bureau now?
"But this is like courting disaster. Besides, there is no slavery in the interstellar world, and they don't care about the small resources on our planet."
Director Yang said with a frown.
After seeing this information, Director Yang's first reaction was to seek the skin of a tiger, and the fact was almost the same.
The two big tigers, the world of cultivation and the world of stars, have set their sights on each other at the same time, so it is very necessary to win over country A, which occupies a strategic territory.
Although the lethality of country A is not enough, it is still capable of dealing with the vanguard troops. In addition, with Sheng Xingsi and those members who have reached the foundation-building stage, it will be very difficult to deal with them if they are well prepared with their weapons.
The best way is actually to seek refuge in the interstellar world. After all, the Feng Dynasty on the opposite side can actually be regarded as an extension of the cultivation world, so it is just right to negotiate on the border.
but……
"...I've said this before, but the cultivation world has given us too much, and so has the interstellar world. They're all like crazy, throwing all kinds of resources at us. Even though we know that what they give us is definitely obsolete, there's still a generation gap even among obsolete products."
Councillor Sarah rubbed his brows again and said.
"I also pointed out that being a fence-sitter might make both sides hate me, but Congress is not a one-man show after all - they need to protect their interests."
Councillor Sarah said with a bad expression.
Director Yang's expression was even more unsightly.
After all, they were in a superior-subordinate relationship and shared the same political ideas. In their view, although directly joining StarCraft might seem a bit servile, at least Country A was saved.
It's a pity that some people in Congress don't care about Congress or even Country A.
They only care about themselves.
"It seems that in the future, our country will have forces from the cultivation world and the interstellar world."
Director Yang said with a wry smile.
Councillor Sarah also sighed: "Maybe, but fortunately the food problem has been solved. The funding plan of the cultivation world has been connected. The first wave of food will arrive in two days."
Director Yang also sighed and said, "This is all I can think of now."
They could only comfort themselves by thinking that they had saved someone.
"By the way, what about other countries? Have they received these funding proposals?"
An idea suddenly flashed through Director Yang's mind and he asked.
Councillor Sarah gave a positive reply: "We have received it, but the proposals from other countries do not provide as much funding as we do. Even if there are study places, we can only study in engineering universities. Military academies and other places are not like us where we can go for further studies."
Director Yang felt something was wrong when he heard this, but he didn't think anything was wrong. After asking casually, he forgot about the thought.
After exchanging greetings with Councillor Sarah, Director Yang said goodbye and left.
After getting on the special car at the door, Director Yang remained silent.
The matter about the funding plan kept turning around in Director Yang's mind.
These funding programs look glamorous, but everyone knows that they are candies wrapped in nails.
But what country A needs now are these candies.
Even if they got pierced in the mouth by a nail, so what? It wasn't them who did it, so just put the blame on the other side.
Director Yang felt really sad when he thought about this.
After all, this time the Civic Party also tacitly accepted both plans at the same time - they did not want to bleed heavily to reduce the prices of food and various items.
Now that the funding program can help them address public opinion, what do they have to worry about?
Even if some people from country A can see it, so what? Most of the smart people who can see it are involved in these interests, and the remaining small number cannot cause any trouble.
——After all, the illiteracy rate is 21%. As long as you set the pace in advance, these things are nothing at all.
"…We need food! We need jobs!"
Director Yang was just thinking about the deafening shouting when he turned his head to look out the window, and saw people marching on another road.
Director Yang looked at their protest and already knew what would happen to them.
When the food from the cultivation world arrives, they will be appeased by the political show of the mayor or others - perhaps even the cultivation world?
Director Yang pinched his brows in pain. It was really a bad feeling to watch the country heading towards a wrong decision.
Especially when you don't have the ability to solve the problem.
Just as Director Yang's mind was racing with thoughts, their car finally arrived at the city government of the original M city.
Now this is the building of the Special Management Bureau branch.
However, the branch office is now about to become the headquarters.
——The funding plans for the world of cultivation and the interstellar space all start in City M.
It’s not that there were no protests in the capital, but the fact is that the protests were ineffective.
They have already agreed to two plans. Although the cultivation world and the interstellar world have not said anything, it would be too much to continue to take advantage of them at this time.
Director Yang thought aimlessly and walked to his office. However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a large furry person lying on his sofa.
Look at the shiny black hair, and look at the arrogant posture of that man even sleeping on the sofa in the director's office. There is no other person like him in the entire Special Management Bureau.
"Sheng Xingsi? What are you doing here and why did you bring your..." Dad?
Director Yang mouthed the last word but didn't say anything.
As she spoke, she walked to the desk and sat down as usual.
The young man wearing small round sunglasses heard Director Yang's voice and saw her lip shape before speaking.
"Director Yang, the higher-ups have come down to notify us."
Director Yang was a little surprised at first, wondering why Sheng Xingsi came here at this time. However, after seeing the words on the notice, Director Yang showed an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Your superiors asked you to go to the starship for further training? But with your status..."
——Isn’t this just sending the experimental subjects?
Although he knew it a long time ago, Director Yang remained silent when it really happened.
Suddenly the office fell into silence.
They all knew they had no way to resist.
Just like country A now.
Director Yang was silent for a long time before he finally spoke to comfort her.
"——It's not a bad thing actually. After all, you are going to the interstellar space, and no one will stop you from doing anything."
The young man raised his neck and spoke lazily.
"I want to pit the Liberal and Civic candidates against each other."
Director Yang said in a decisive tone.
“That won’t work.”
*
One year later.
“…So, did the candidates from the Liberal Party and the Civic Party kiss each other afterwards?”
Jiang Qi asked curiously as he listened to the words of the young man next to him.
This time he came to Country A for academic exchange. In fact, he just did chores for his tutor and helped teach these humans from the ancient planets to class.
Fortunately, although people are from the Middle Ages, their brains have not remained in the Middle Ages. The learning ability of most people is similar to that of people in the interstellar age.
Moreover, the young man in front of him is even comparable to several 3s-level bosses.
His learning ability was so strong that the medieval country even gave his pet a nationality and even a unique name.
Moreover, the young man himself is a cultivator. With the help of genetic modification drugs, he was able to directly ascend to the Nascent Soul stage!
——Those monks who come to negotiate with their superiors every day are also Nascent Souls!
So the higher-ups gave the young man a green light to allow him to study everywhere.
Jiang Qi guessed that the old prime minister still wanted the other party to become a citizen, so he inadvertently demonstrated the strength of StarCraft - as for the naturalization nationality, it can be the nationality of three countries for the time being.
After that, poaching depends on your own ability, so just poach people first.
However, Jiang Qi still respects personal choices. After all, it is Country A that raised the young man, so it is understandable that the young man does not want to change his nationality.
So Jiang Qi just attended classes honestly and chatted with the young man at most, but for some reason he got along quite well with this Nascent Soul cultivator and they became closer.
"No, they looked at each other as if they saw something dirty. In the end, they just let the mascots of the two parties kiss each other, and that was considered mission accomplished."
The young man shrugged and said, but the curve of his mouth showed that the scene was definitely quite interesting.
——At least Jiang Qi felt that if Marshal Theodore's pet and the Federal Research Institute's director's pet were to kiss each other, both sides would have to take their pets to take a bath at the same time.
Jiang Qi almost laughed out loud when he thought of this. Fortunately, the results of the students present broke this point.
"Are your eyeballs light bulbs? They can only light up when powered, right? Mutants wouldn't install their robotic arms like this!"
Jiang Qi's blood pressure rose when he saw those students who couldn't even figure out the basic structure of a robotic arm and looked a little disdainful.
From the videos he had seen on Starnet before, the mutants all knew that the outer shell of the robotic arm was divided into left and right parts!
Jiang Qi finally understood why Professor Ethan, such a gentle man, was caught swearing at the students in front of him several times during this period.
If he didn't curse, the intelligent computer would come out to call the police and instruct the robot to give him medicine.
"Are you really the ones who studied on the Capital Star for three years? Why are you not as good as those on the Blue Star who only studied for one year?"
Jiang Qi’s blood vessels were really about to burst.
Especially when there is a clear contrast between the two sides.
On Blue Star, people sent by all countries for further studies have completed their mecha assembly homework to a very high degree. Even if they don’t understand, they will ask questions, and their attitude is very positive.
But here on Interstellar...
Jiang Qi sent the matter directly to the dean and asked him to handle it since he couldn't teach it anyway.
"You have lost all the credits for this class, and each of you will be deducted one point as a warning - of course, everyone on Blue Star will get one point added."
The students on the StarCraft side did not make a fuss, but their expressions showed that they were actually quite unconvinced.
The expressions of the people looking at the blue star opposite were all unfriendly.
But with Jiang Qi watching, the students present could only turn their lips and leave.
Just before leaving, he shouted at the door: "Ancient blood-sucking worm."
Jiang Qi was so angry that he deducted one point from that person again, which made them behave themselves. However, judging from the fact that they stood at the door and did not leave, they were still somewhat unconvinced.
Jiang Qi ignored them and just opened the classroom's security. He originally wanted to apologize to these people out of guilt, but...
The Blue Star people from various countries ignored them, and didn't even look at them, not even a glance.
They were all studying the mecha in front of them, and then began to discuss it in their native language in a low voice with the people of the same country around them.
If you have any questions, just ask the intelligent robot in the classroom. If the intelligent robot cannot answer the question, it will record it and prepare to ask Jiang Qi together.
"They don't care at all?" Jiang Qi asked the young man next to him with some surprise.
The young man did not discuss with these people. In fact, he had been a lone ranger during this period. Even his own countrymen did not talk to him - or the people on both sides did not have much to talk about.
The young man was originally obsessed with tinkering with intelligent robots, and only spoke after hearing Jiang Qi's words.
"They are just kids throwing tantrums. Instead of fighting with them, you might as well learn more knowledge. Besides, they are only the sixth batch. The sooner they finish learning, the sooner they can make room for the new generation of their country. It's a waste of time to say anything to them."
As the young man said this, he let go of the robot in his hand, and without paying any attention to the intelligent robot running away from his side or the door, he asked as if he had thought of something.
"By the way, what is the current housing price in your capital star?"
Jiang Qi was also misled. He said angrily, "The cheapest house is now almost 2 yuan per square meter, and this is when the house price drops a little. My current subsidy is only more than 10,000 yuan. If I can't modify mechas for some contestants and occasionally help Professor Ethan, I dare not even look at this house price!"
He was really upset, and sometimes he even thought about whether he should just accept a few wealthy suitors and lie down with them. But after all, he was close to Ethan, and Ethan was friends with that cosmic treasure Ye Ruian, and would share some gossip with him from time to time.
These gossips directly dispelled Jiang Qi's thoughts - he was just a little poor now, but if he married into those wealthy families, who knew whether they would feed him the things in the ancient god's ruins the next day.
God knows what's wrong with these families. They have become even more outrageous after hearing the news of Changsheng. If Ye Ruian hadn't dealt with a few families from time to time, the entire galaxy might have become more chaotic even faster.
However, after receiving the notice to sign a confidentiality agreement during this period, Jiang Qi understood it - after all, Country A has its own resources, and the status of some families may be replaced by some government departments of Country A.
How could these wealthy nobles not be anxious?
Moreover, they don't know that country A has a method of longevity that can be practiced.
——The families who knew about it kept their mouths shut for fear that if the news leaked out, they would not be able to enjoy the benefits.
This led to Ye Ruian having to work overtime everywhere.
"Wow, it's quite expensive, but the housing prices in the capital are all expensive. By the way, didn't you say before that you went to a professor's house in the capital on the weekend? I think it was a villa. How much was that?"
The young man asked seemingly casually.
"That's almost 10 million. The professor took on a private job from a family, and the family gave it directly to him."
Jiang Qi said without any guard.
"Wow, that's a lot of help. Is that professor also an expert in mechas?"
Jiang Qi shook his head and said, "No, he is a language professor, but at present he is the only one who can translate a language, not even the main brain, he is very powerful."
Jiang Qi was somewhat smug when he said this, it was really nice to have an idol admired by others.
“That’s really amazing.”
The young man seemed surprised and then started talking about housing prices. Today's class just passed by like that.
It was not until he saw the familiar lady standing at the door to pick someone up that Jiang Qi realized that it was time to end the get out of class.
Jiang Qi was then entangled by the scientists who came over to ask questions, while the young man walked towards the lady at the door.
The lady winked at him and smiled, then mouthed the words.
"Did you succeed in your trick again?"
*
"…They are more vigilant now. We still haven't found out what they are hiding from us, but we can check which professor Jiang Qi is closest to. His winning number is the key to solving the problem."
Sheng Xingsi leaned on the leather seat of the car, looking very unrestrained. Caroline, who knew what kind of person he was, sat on the passenger seat this time to avoid him.
"A professor? What professor? Jiang Qi has come into contact with many professors during this period."
Caroline frowned and said, Ludong on the side drove out of the park specially designated for the interstellar world and got on the highway.
While driving, I muttered to myself that it was a good thing that this road was built, otherwise I would have suffered a lot.
The two people in the car were still continuing their previous conversation.
"It should be linguistics. It is said that there is a language that only he can translate," Sheng Xingsi said, holding up his chin. "Don't doubt the intuition of a Nascent Soul cultivator. This is definitely something the interstellar world is hiding from us."
Caroline did not ask again but immediately wrote it down, sighing as she wrote it down.
Ever since Sheng Xingsi reached the Nascent Soul stage, the attitude of the cultivation world has become much more polite, and the entire country A naturally worships Sheng Xingsi as an ancestor.
Although Country A knew that Sheng Xingsi would definitely not run away from the cultivation world because of his father, what if the cultivation world was willing to get rid of Sect Leader Qiao who inexplicably turned into the Golden Core Stage again?
What's more, the interstellar world is eyeing us covetously.
The leaders of country A held a special meeting for Sheng Xingsi's matter, and finally came up with a plan - that is to meet Sheng Xingsi's requirements as much as possible, and create as many emotional ties for Sheng Xingsi as possible.
There were so many ways to curry favor that even Ruan Luo, who was already sentenced to life imprisonment, was inexplicably slapped in the face and had his sentence extended to several hundred years.
The reason turned out to be something he had secretly done to Wen Li six years ago.
Not to mention Ruan Luo, even Caroline was confused. Why bring up something that happened eight hundred years ago now? ? ?
Of course Ruan Luo was slapped in the face for no apparent reason, and Gao Wenjun was naturally not spared either. Now even the few women he had left couldn't save him.
However, Caroline was still happy to see Gao Wenjun's misfortune - she had heard a lot about Gao Wenjun's great achievements from Lu Dong.
As a result, Gao Wenjun went bankrupt, and because of his cultivation level, he couldn't even leave the country, plus he had some cases on his case - in the end he successfully met Ruan Luo in prison.
They are the only two cultivators in the foundation-building stage since the emergence of cultivators in country A.
However, Gao Wenjun's subordinates turned a disaster into a blessing.
Caroline thought.
In the past year or so, the interstellar world and the world of cultivation have provided a lot of financial support to country A. At the same time, they have also opened many stores in country A. Although many families have gone bankrupt, many jobs have also been created.
The subordinates found jobs in these stores and factories.
Not only them, but also people who had suffered from the financial crisis and food crisis also found jobs.
Caroline looked up thoughtfully.
The city of M, which had become extremely prosperous, appeared in front of her.
*
"It has to be Nanyuan. The location of the commercial center is really well chosen. It is close to the residential area and on the main road. You can see people from all countries. It is also convenient to go in for shopping. The parking lot is quite sci-fi."
Lu Dong was driving and looking at the huge commercial center on the side of the road, he sighed.
Right now this commercial center is bustling with people, whether they are citizens of Country A, scientists who come here to study, or even monks from the world of cultivation and people from the interstellar world, they are all shopping in the mall.
They didn't engage in any racial discrimination. At most, the security guards were two strange monks in the Jindan stage - God knows where they came from.
But it’s not surprising considering his ability to communicate with all realms.
"It seems that several more milk tea shops have opened. There are also many medicine and magic weapon shops in the cultivation world."
Sheng Xingsi said, resting his chin on his hand, however, compared with the previous commercial center, these shops seemed a little empty.
But people probably don't care about this.
Lu Dong was looking at the bustling scene around him, thinking at the same time that this seemed to be the place where those people had paraded in public.
Thinking of those people who shouted for jobs and bread back then, and then looking at the current situation, Lu Dong suddenly felt a little relieved, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
"Brother Sheng, I feel like this is much better than before."
"Well, it is indeed much better than a year ago."
Hearing Lu Dong's words, Sheng Xingsi looked at the increasing number of cultivation buildings and interstellar buildings in City M with unusual calmness behind his lenses.
Their style is quite unique and easy to recognize, and such buildings are already all over Country A - their construction speed is much faster than that in their home country.
But are these buildings really just buildings?
*
Chatting along the way, they finally returned to the Special Management Bureau.
The current Special Management Bureau is still the most imposing government building in the entire city of M. Because of previous events, the original city government of M has returned to the city center, but it only has a few floors.
After they returned, they were notified to go to the director's office.
As the door opened, the young man sitting behind the desk slowly raised his head.
"Director Gu." X3
Gu Youxing, who had been promoted to director, said with a smile: "You are here? I have been notified that Asheng does not need to go on the starship tomorrow."
Sheng Xingsi immediately raised his eyebrows.
"They broke down again?"
The young man with a red mole on his eye sighed and said, "Yes."
"For the 125th time, the negotiations between the Cultivation World and the Three Star Alliance have collapsed."
