I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

Despite his thoughts, looking at the adorable girl crying before him, Zhou Weiguo couldn't help but blurt out, "Beautiful lady, don't you want to... uh, no..."

The tea master looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Zhou Weiguo quickly waved his hand to cover his embarrassment at his slip of the tongue, then pulled a wad of bills from his pocket and handed it over. He thought to himself: A gambling father, a sick mother, a younger brother in school, and her broken heart—if I don't help her, who will?

Unexpectedly, the tea master trembled with excitement upon seeing the money.

She accepted the money in disbelief, repeatedly kneeling and bowing in gratitude.

Zhou Weiguo subconsciously said in Chinese, "No need to be polite. I'm just a little sentimental. It's true what they say, love arises with time, but its end leaves a lingering sense of unease."

Upon hearing this, the tea master trembled and nervously asked, "My benefactor, are you from the Xia Kingdom? Although I don't quite understand what you mean, your poem gives me a very beautiful feeling. I know now, you must be a great literary figure."

Zhou Weiguo was stunned for a moment, scratched his head awkwardly, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I am indeed a citizen of Xia."

The tea master became even more excited upon hearing this, his voice trembling as he said, "My benefactor, I am also half a Xia citizen; my mother is from Xia. Can you tell me how I can find you? Don't worry, as long as I save my mother, I will definitely find you and repay you with my entire life!"

Zhou Weiguo was both amused and exasperated, thinking to himself that they were just putting on an act, but he hadn't expected the other party's acting skills to be so explosive.

Helpless, he took out another wad of money and handed it over, preparing to get up and leave.

The other person accepted the banknotes with a grateful expression, and then said, "Thank you, benefactor. I will save this money for my travel expenses to find you in Xia Kingdom."

Zhou Weiguo almost burst out laughing when he heard this, then forced himself to suppress his emotions and said, "Alright, if you want to find me in the future, go to Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong and find Leng Feng. Just say you're looking for Mr. Zhou."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the store. Zhou Weiguo couldn't help but complain: No wonder everyone says that Xiao Rizi's acting skills are good. He can even put on such a show while drinking tea.

As dusk approached, Zhou Weiguo stretched and inexplicably felt better.

He flagged down a taxi and headed straight for the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries headquarters.

Upon arriving at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, although no unexpected incidents occurred, the process of copying the data was extremely lengthy.

Zhou Weiguo secretly infiltrated the scientific research archives building, and it took Nannan a whole day to record all the data inside.

And those design drawings still need to be generated by Nannan slowly.

There are so many kinds of blueprints here, from the design blueprints of the "Yamato" battleship to the blueprints of various fighter jets, transport planes, and bombers, as well as blueprints of various aircraft engines, heavy machinery, turbines, internal combustion engines, and railway vehicles.

By the time we left Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, it was already broad daylight.

As Zhou Weiguo walked along the road, he pondered where to go next.

As he walked, he saw a dumpling restaurant by the roadside, so he went in and ordered a plate of pork and cabbage dumplings.

However, the taste of the dumplings made him curse inwardly, "Damn it, this is awful!"

While we were eating, we suddenly heard gunshots coming from outside.

Even more strangely, the shop owner ran excitedly to the door and stared at the white wall opposite.

Zhou Weiguo wiped his mouth and asked curiously, "Boss, what are you doing?"

The shop owner looked him up and down and said, "You're from out of town, aren't you?"

Zhou Weiguo nodded.

The shop owner explained with a proud look, "Today is the Chinese New Year. Our new prime minister is a hero of the holy war, and paying homage to imperial heroes is our tradition. Moreover, the new prime minister was a participant and leader in the holy war."

It took Zhou Weiguo a while to understand what the shop owner meant, and his face instantly turned very ugly.

A sarcastic, toothy smile suddenly flashed through his mind; it seemed he had taken office.

Seeing his expression, the shopkeeper said with disdain, "What kind of look is that? Although the Holy War has only achieved a partial success, I believe there will be a time of complete success. Young people, you must keep going and never give up easily."

Zhou Weiguo lowered his head, suppressing the murderous intent in his eyes, and without saying a word, paid for the meal and walked out.

An overwhelming anger and resentment surged within him, a feeling that nearly drove him to madness.

He used to think that regardless of right or wrong in war, civilians were always innocent.

But just today, just now, he finally understood one thing: when an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.

He found a secluded spot, activated his invisibility, and slipped inside the white wall.

He was out in about 20 minutes and hailed a taxi to go to the airport.

The car had been driving for more than ten minutes when a loud bang was heard, and the ground trembled.

The driver asked in a panic, "What happened?"

Zhou Weiguo's lips curled slightly, and he said with a sneer, "What else can we do? Our new prime minister just set off a big firework display by visiting the 'hero'."

Zhou Weiguo sat blankly on the airport chair for a full half day, staring at the endless stream of people in front of him, his resentment surging like a tide, and it took him a long time to dissipate.

The ancients often said, "A moment of patience brings calm, and a step back opens up a vast sky." But at this moment, Zhou Weiguo felt that the more he thought about taking a step back, the angrier he became.

Suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, he stood up abruptly and strode out of the airport.

Night had already fallen quietly, and the sky was pitch black.

Without hesitation, Zhou Weiguo took out a Yamaha motorcycle that he had stored away some time ago from his spatial storage.

With the roar of the engine, he sped off on his motorcycle toward the city.

About an hour later, he parked his motorcycle in a secluded alley.

After carefully looking around to make sure no one was nearby, he put the motorcycle back into his spatial storage. Then, his figure vanished.

Inside the space, Zhou Weiguo looked at Nannan and said gently, "Nannan, help me make two more time delay devices."

The little girl blinked her big eyes and obediently replied, "Brother, didn't I just make one for you? What do you need so many delay devices for?"

Zhou Weiguo gently patted Nannan's head, a mysterious smile on his face: "Of course, it's for setting off fireworks, for those heroes, to give them the most magnificent fireworks display."

The little girl nodded, seemingly understanding, and said excitedly, "Okay, brother! I'll go do it now. It's just a pity I can't go out, otherwise I could see the fireworks with my own eyes."

Zhou Weiguo comforted him, "It's alright, I'll put it in my space for you another day. I guarantee it'll be even better than the ones outside."

After instructing Nannan, he immediately called out in his mind, "System! You have to do me a favor this time. Name your price in energy points. I'm not going to steam buns today, I'm just trying to save face!"

After a long while, the system's voice finally sounded in his mind, but today it sounded particularly serious: "100-meter radius sensing activated, time limit 1 hour. Two thermobaric bombs included. This time it's on me, treat the heroes at home! Let's have a celebration!"

P.S.: Please urge me to update more and give me good reviews. Thank you!
