Chapter 354 Qualifying Rounds?
It's 2:04 AM, US time.

Trump was having a dream in which he issued a decree demanding a security fee of $10 per day from every citizen of the Beautiful Country in order to deal with the crisis of the Civilization Trial.

The United States has a total of 3.36 million citizens, which translates to a daily income of $33.6 billion.

Blood earned!
He was enjoying himself when he was suddenly awakened by a series of urgent alarm sounds.

Before the staff could even knock, Trump yanked off the covers, clutching his heart which was pounding in his chest, and yelled, "Idiot, what is it?!"

"Your Excellency, it's an emergency. The Minister of Defense requests a meeting with you."

Trump was so angry that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys all ached.

He made up his mind: as soon as it was light, he would collect a $15 security fee! The extra $5 was compensation for the fright he had suffered that night.

He stormed into the office.

The encrypted phone in the Oval Office was vibrating incessantly, and the warning lights were flashing wildly.

"You'd better tell me something of value. Don't tell me about aliens attacking; that's common knowledge worldwide!"

The aliens are so far away from Earth, by the time they arrive, Trump will have already been buried underground.

After he dies, who cares about the raging waves?!
Trump was swearing and cursing.

The Minister of Defense's eye twitched. Is America's fate sealed? At its most critical moment, this leader is still in power.

He took a deep breath and visibly swallowed: "The country on the other side has entered a state of high alert."

"Oh?"

Trump jumped up, causing chaos at the scene.

Everyone was unaware of what they were saying, only hearing "Level 1, Level 1, Level 1..."

After a half-hour of panic, Trump realized that the actions of the Eastern superpower were not aimed at him at all, but rather at the Civilization Trial.

He relaxed completely: "Let them prepare for war, we'll live our lives. We can take this opportunity to seize the international markets that they've taken over."

The Minister of Defense looked utterly bewildered and stammered, "Shouldn't we check if they have any related information, or if they've also entered a state of combat readiness to prepare for the Civilization Trial?"

Trump sprawled out on the sofa, sprawled out: "Why go on high alert? This will only slow down how fast we make money."

"But……"

"No buts, my dear Minister of Defense. You must understand one thing: we humans on Earth are a community."

The Minister of Defense, unable to follow his boss's train of thought, asked, "So?"

"Let the great Eastern power do this thankless task, and we can reap the benefits. Who knows when the trial will begin? It could be tomorrow, next year, or even 10 years from now. Our opponents will miss out on years of development opportunities because of this, isn't that a great opportunity for us?"

My rough talk makes a lot of sense, leaving people speechless.

The Minister of Defense said sternly, "Your Excellency, haven't you considered the possibility that they might not be able to pass the test on their own?"

"What does that have to do with me?" Trump spread his hands, defiantly saying, "I'm over 70 years old, how many more years can I live?"

The Minister of Defense closed his eyes tightly. If God is destined to exterminate humanity, then so be it.

Online, netizens from various countries are discussing the actions of the major Eastern power.

The major Eastern power did not conceal its actions; all three of its warships have lifted their silence and are currently assembling along the maritime border.

A satellite image of the ocean, seemingly from some unknown country, is covered with a dense array of red triangular markers. Just one glance at it is enough to send chills down your spine.

[Elephant Kingdom: They're always like this, wanting to be the center of attention. It's just a test of civilization, right? Leave it to us, we'll pass it easily.]

[Maple Leaf Country: The Elephant Country is still dreaming, their dream hasn't ended. Are you trying to disgust aliens to death by urinating and defecating everywhere? China should shoulder the responsibility of a great power and stand up in crucial moments.]

[Japan: China's position as the world's second-largest economy is in jeopardy! Our country will eventually take off and reclaim our rightful place!]

[South Korea: Let China participate in this mere trial of civilization. We'll step in when they can't hold on any longer.]

[Australia: They always make a fuss. Extraterrestrial civilizations have come to save our planet. Their actions could easily lead to misunderstandings with the aliens! I propose that China be expelled from our planetary citizenship!]

Humans are always like this: when the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up.

Initially, the nations were thrown into a state of panic for half a month due to the Civilization Trial Grounds incident.

Two weeks later, they received the bank statement and were completely sober, their eyes clearing up.

Even if Earth is about to be destroyed, they still have to repay the money they owe the bank.

Perhaps, when aliens take over Earth, those despicable bank capitalists will sell these bonds to them.

Now, China has stood up!
They mobilized the entire nation to prepare for the trial.

Given China's system and mobilization capabilities, netizens from various countries, though chattering on and on, are still quite reassured.

Some people are even secretly thinking that if a major country's economic development is delayed because of this incident, won't other countries have an opportunity?!

If a major power were to suffer a severe blow in reality, could history repeat itself and the fruits of their economic development be redistributed? With their economic size, small countries could live comfortably for centuries.

What shattered their illusions was the sudden appearance of a giant sky curtain.

It was an ordinary morning, with golden sunlight casting dappled patterns on the sea.

As usual, the pilots, wearing goggles, flew around the giant screen.

"Hey, Wei, didn't you guys go on standby? Why aren't you going back?" the blond, blue-eyed pilot laughed over the comms.

A sleek, futuristic-looking plane streaked across the sky: "This is also one of the battlefields."

"Wei, are you really planning to go to war with an alien civilization?"

"If they dare to invade, we will certainly fight them. What about your America?"

"Who knows?" The blond, blue-eyed pilot shrugged. "Given the nature of those big shots, if given enough benefits, they'd not only sell out America, they'd dare sell out the entire planet Earth."

Pilot Awei chuckled: "You have a very deep understanding of your politicians."

"Absolutely. Only a fool would believe them... Oh my God!!!"

Everyone watching the giant screen suddenly opened their eyes wide.

The content on the giant screen has changed!
[Observation period ended. The civilization qualification screening process is now initiated. There are 193 sovereign nations on Earth. Prove with your strength that you deserve a place in the trial grounds.]

We will randomly select ten people from each sovereign nation to participate in the qualifying rounds.

[Losers mean your civilization is not advanced enough to join the Star Alliance and you will not be protected during the Star Alliance selection period.]

[Countdown: Earth Time 720:0:0]

Some of Comrade Xiao Te's outrageous actions are so outrageous that even novels wouldn't dare to write them, or they'd be criticized for being intellectually deficient.
