Chapter 259: Trying to trick me out of my gold coins?
Qinling Command Center.
The cheers quickly subsided, replaced by an intense tension and solemnity.
Everyone stood at their posts, their eyes glued to the main screen.
On the screen were countless split-screen displays, broadcasting emergency reports from major media outlets and intelligence agencies around the world in real time.
The capital city of Heguo is in complete chaos.
Li Guoan's face regained its usual calm and composure.
He picked up the now-cold strong tea on the table, took a sip, and turned his gaze to the data analysis team.
What has been the international reaction?
Sun Feng adjusted his glasses, quickly pulled up several intelligence reports, and reported to his superior at an extremely fast pace:
"Reporting to Director Li! Less than a minute after the incident ended, the Pentagon sent an emergency communication."
"They only asked us one question: Are we responsible for this incident in the Republic of Korea?"
"Take responsibility?" Li Guoan's lips curled into a cold smile. "What responsibility do we have? We're just a peace-loving film shooting base."
He paused, his tone becoming serious.
"Reply to them that China condemns all forms of terrorist attacks."
"We express our deepest sympathy for the 'disaster of unknown cause' and the 'large-scale unidentified gas leak' that occurred in the capital of the Republic."
"Also, remind them to pay more attention to their own backyard."
"Yes!" Sun Feng immediately accepted the order and forwarded the reply, which was full of "goodwill from a great power."
The experts present couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
This reply will probably make the US president smash a few more cups.
……
In the capital of Heguo, the dark clouds in the sky came calmly and went in a hurry.
When the golden sunlight once again pierced through the clouds and shone upon this ravaged land.
But the thick, impenetrable "haze" that shrouded the ruins could never be dispelled.
That smell has transcended the realm of smell and become a form of mental pollution.
It seemed to possess a life of its own, stubbornly drilling into the nasal cavity and throat of every survivor, even penetrating their skin, and imprinting itself deep in their memory.
"Run!"
After throwing the strategic-level bioweapon, "Goblin's Stinky Socks," Chen You didn't pause for a moment.
He grabbed Lin Miao, who was still in a daze, and ran away.
Just kidding, he knows all too well how powerful that thing is.
This is a ranged attack that indiscriminately affects both friend and foe, and it is standard practice to affect friendly forces as well.
The two moved with ghostly speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye from the corner of the courtyard, leaving behind only a scene of utter devastation.
……
A private airport owned by a multinational corporation.
A private jet without any markings sat quietly on the runway.
When Chen You and Lin Miao arrived, Mu Xi and Liu Ming were already waiting there.
The two men's expressions were extremely complex when they saw Chen You.
It was a mixture of fear, awe, and a hint of... fanaticism.
Although they were each carrying out their own missions, they all witnessed what happened above the sanctuary.
From the 100-meter-tall demon descending to the stomp of the toilet.
From the appearance and subsequent escape of the celestial being, to the final, jet-black sword light that severed the fate of the nation...
They are Dragon Scales, the most elite extraordinary forces in China, but what they witnessed today still overturned their understanding.
Those are gods, demons, myths walking among humans.
"Captain Chen... Captain Chen..." Mu Xi spoke first, her voice a little hoarse.
"Captain Chen, that transformation was so cool!"
Liu Ming had already rushed forward with shouts, but when he got to Chen You, he suddenly stopped.
"You even drove away that damned god from the Land of War! You're too awesome!"
"Alright, stop flattering me." Chen You waved his hand, offering no further explanation, and boarded the plane first, "Going home now."
The others followed.
The cabin door closed, the special plane took off smoothly, and soon soared into the sky, leaving the city below, which was in chaos and stench, far behind.
The cabin was unusually quiet.
Lin Miao and the other two sat upright, even their breathing was very careful.
Liu Ming seemed to want to say something, but Mu Xi glared at him and shut him up.
"I'm going to take a break."
Chen You found a comfortable position to lean back in his seat and slowly closed his eyes.
Rest is impossible.
He used "Ruling the World" in reality to reap the rewards of luck; who knows if that will affect the Origin Realm?
"I need to go online and take a look."
He muttered to himself.
With a thought, it sank into the bracelet.
Welcome back to the Source Realm, Shadow Overlord.
Before Chen You stood the magnificent, solemn, and eternally spotless Supreme Tower.
A faint scent of sandalwood filled the air, and the surroundings were deserted, except for the NPC who was always there.
Compared to the turmoil and stench of the real world, this place seems like a pure land in another dimension.
Chen You carefully looked around and confirmed that everything was the same as usual, without any changes.
There was no blood-red announcement, no system warning.
He breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned again.
It's too calm, unusually calm.
He strode toward the counter, where Hill, the administrator who always wore an elegant long dress and maintained a perfect smile, stood quietly.
"Hill," Chen You said, taking the initiative.
Hill bowed slightly, his face bearing that impeccable professional smile, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze.
"Respected 'Pioneer of Immortal Path', this reunion feels like something I've been waiting for for endless years."
"The world's brilliance shines because of you..."
"You seem to have done something remarkable."
Chen You frowned slightly.
As expected! She knew!
This NPC, or rather, the Origin Realm System, really knows what he did in reality!
He forcibly suppressed his emotions, his expression unchanged, and simply asked indifferently, "Oh? What makes you say that?"
Hill's smile remained perfect. Instead of answering directly, she extended her slender finger and gently tapped the air in front of her.
hum-
A pale golden light screen slowly unfolded in front of Chen You.
[Special event triggered]
[Player [Chen You] has been detected engaging in civilization-level plundering and foundational attacks against the [He Kingdom Civilization] in the real world, under the name of [Huaxia Civilization].]
[Judgment: The fortunes of Chinese civilization have increased slightly, while those of the He Kingdom have declined significantly.]
Based on your outstanding contributions and the increase in 'Civilization Correlation', you will receive a special reward.
[Settlement in progress...]
Each word on the screen seemed ordinary, but when put together, they sent a jolt through Chen You's heart.
In the name of Chinese civilization!
Why doesn't the Source Realm consider this to be its own personal act?!
Is this the result of Director Li's report? Or does it mean that I already represent Chinese civilization?
This also resulted in a special settlement for myself...
Does this mean that the Source Realm also gained some benefit from this?
Before he could think it through, the settlement progress bar had already reached its end.
[Settlement complete!]
[Please confirm whether you wish to spend 10000 gold coins to initiate this settlement?]
Chen You: "..."
Wait for me here!
