Building a sect from scratch.

Han Yi, who prided himself on his courage, was so frightened that his hair stood on end and he blurted out a vulgar curse.

Other players who didn't skip the expansion weren't to be outdone, and they all started cursing the game developers—although this expansion might not have much to do with the developers, when it comes to playing games, if you're in doubt, just curse the developers!
Finally, the expansion ended with a series of humorous scenes of players battling various wild monsters and beasts.

After entering the game, the world chat was filled with discussions about the expansion pack and the unusual background music. Not only that, everyone also discovered that there were many more background music tracks in the settings after this update!

Han Yi heard a light and cheerful instrumental piece, but when he teleported to the Taiyin Palace and was about to find his senior sister to accept a daily task, the background music changed to a solemn and majestic piece of music, which was quite imposing.

It turns out that the updated background music changes according to the map.

Not only that, but many skill announcements have also been added, all in a default female voice. For example, when Kong Lan can't use a skill, it says "Insufficient spiritual power, unable to circulate energy." When a skill is on cooldown and cannot be used, it says "The skill is currently in cooldown, please wait a moment."

Of course, Han Yi was unaware of these new updates; the story begins two weeks ago…

Half a month ago.

"This is the first formal meeting between the Taiyin Sect of the Guixu Realm and the Zhonghua Family of the Blue Star Realm. Due to various restrictions, we are holding the meeting online via video in the Guixu Realm. The entire meeting will be recorded so that both parties can keep a record. Sect Master Fang, is there anything else you would like to add?"

Several months later, the long-silent alternate account in the chat bar of the game's official account started flashing, but this time, it was discussing things back and forth with the game's official account controlled by Fang Xianyu.

Fang Xianyu replied reservedly, "No, I look forward to our future collaboration. See you in half an hour."

……

Although the Chinese have always cooperated very tacitly with Fang Xianyu, they have always made indirect attempts to explore cooperation through Lu Ying or other individuals.

For example, the investment of talent in various research institutes, including the establishment of the "I Love Farming" community, are all attempts to explore new avenues.

The results of the trial were even more surprising than the conclusions that everyone had speculated about in multiple meetings. Fang Xianyu, who was marked as "α", showed an unexpectedly high level of tolerance for the actions and behaviors of the Chinese.

This has led many scholars to analyze that Fang Xianyu may indeed be a Chinese person, or was once a Chinese citizen.

This conclusion is very valid, because even on Earth, there are almost no people in any country who can "trust" a political system in this way and not separate the individuals within that system from the public eye.

Perhaps many children of China find it hard to imagine that in most countries on Earth, politicians exist independently of the political system, and most political actions in those countries are the result of the interplay of various interests. Only China is a unified whole, and generation after generation, people are dedicated to integrating themselves into this whole and striving for their ideals throughout their lives.

Before her transmigration, Fang Xianyu scoffed at this theory. She had been misled by Zhihu and some media outlets, to the point that she felt she couldn't demonstrate her uniqueness or showcase her "lofty vision" of being the only one who was pure amidst a corrupt world unless she criticized China. But when she truly came into contact with real politics, she discovered that while there might be some charlatans in that group, the majority were actually great idealists.

Just as in the chaotic period of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Engels and others betrayed their families and their classes for the sake of our justice, the justice of the poor.

Fang Xianyu, however, revealed his ambitions to Lu Ying and the others more than once, seemingly without intention.
Everyone on the China project team is practically hooked!

No, it should be said that it has already turned into a pouty mouth—

"I think we can be much bolder! For example..."

"The Flower Clan is stationed in a subordinate territory of the Guixu Realm, hehe, I can't suppress my smile! This is simply a satisfying read!"

Several scholars who had been confirmed to participate in the conference early on huddled together, chattering excitedly, their faces flushed.

Before this meeting was scheduled, the China project team had held repeated meetings to discuss it, and everyone remained optimistic each time. After all, from the initial contact and probing, to limited cooperation, and now to the decision to deepen exchanges and establish a closer cooperative relationship, Fang Xianyu had not expressed any dissatisfaction with China's actions. Although this was also related to the fact that all the plans formulated by the project team were relatively conservative and restrained, this trust was still very encouraging.

"No interference in other countries' internal affairs! No interference in other countries' internal affairs! No interference in other countries' internal affairs!"

However, Aunt Wang, who happened to be passing by, overheard their whispers and, unusually, lost her temper, almost shouting, "I know you're all optimistic! I'm optimistic too! But we can't let optimism make us lose our sense of boundaries! The Taiyin Sect is a sovereign power! It's like an independent country! And this country is even separated from us by a whole world! We can't have any material exchanges with it! We must be extremely cautious in our actions!"

The scholars who had been yelled at swallowed hard and forced themselves to smile apologetically.

"Yes, yes, we were just saying it casually, we really didn't intend to do it!"

"Hey, this isn't the official meeting yet. We promise we won't say a single careless word during the official meeting!"

"Alright, stop being so unserious. There are over a hundred people attending this meeting, so be serious. Director Lu has already gone in. Let me check..." Aunt Wang casually checked the time on her phone before continuing, "The testing will begin in five minutes. Everyone, get to your positions and get ready! This is the first formal meeting!"

Hearing Aunt Wang's repeated emphasis, everyone couldn't help but become nervous.

Although everyone knows that the game "Ten Continents Chronicles" is set in a real other world, the lack of clear diplomatic records makes it feel somewhat unreal. Cooperation between any two established sovereign powers is not a trivial matter; formal negotiations, even if just a formality, are essential.

And that day has finally arrived. (End of Chapter)
