I accidentally joined a group of charlatans, so I immediately called the police and handed it over t

The phone screen was slightly warm in Chen Xi's palm, as if the rage from the heavens was being vented through the data stream.

Lei Gong was still frantically sending messages in the group, one voice message after another, each accompanied by a heart-stopping roar in the background. Clearly, this guy was smashing cups and bowls in his own Lei Mansion.

[Thunder God]: (Voiceover) "This is utterly disgraceful! It's one thing for that Thor to use a broken hammer to summon lightning, but he even needs to charge it? Lightning is the pivot of heaven and earth, moving at will, covering thousands of miles in an instant. When did it become so constipated?!"

[Lei Gong]: Mortals are ignorant! Mortals are foolish! They have no idea what true destruction is!

[Nezha]: @Lei Gong, old man, stop howling. That's a movie, it's special effects. If you're not happy, why don't you go and act in one yourself?

[Thunder God]: Acting? I don't need to act! I am thunder itself!

The group was deathly silent; no one dared to provoke trouble at this critical juncture.

Chen Xi leaned against the throne of King Lai, his fingertips tapping the armrest idly.

The time has come.

This is the ultimate level of scarcity marketing—creating a pain point and then providing the only solution.

[Newcomer reporting in, seeking protection]: May the Thunder God calm his anger.

Chen Xi typed out those four words slowly and deliberately, as if pouring cold water into hot oil.

[Thunder God]: Calm down? How can I calm down? You've seen Endgame too, right? Is that fat guy your Thor?!

[Newcomer reporting in, seeking protection]: Of course not.

[Newcomer reporting in, seeking protection]: Those fancy but ineffective martial arts moves built up with special effects are not even worthy of carrying your shoes.

This flattery was perfectly timed, and Lei Gong's anger subsided slightly.

[Lei Gong]: Hmph, you've got good taste, kid.

[Newcomer reporting in, seeking protection]: But...

Chen Xi abruptly changed the subject, revealing his true intentions.

[Newcomer reporting in, seeking protection]: Mortals are dull-witted and limited by their physical appearance. They have never seen a true god, so naturally they can only worship those cheap special effects.

[Newcomer reporting in, seeking protection]: In this day and age, whoever has the loudest voice is right. Hollywood promoted that fat guy as Thor, but in the minds of billions of ordinary people, Thor is just a fat guy.

[Newcomer reporting in, seeking protection]: This is not just an image issue, it's... a copyright infringement.

copyright.

This new vocabulary word was like a thorn, precisely piercing Lei Gong's already fragile self-esteem.

[Lei Gong]: Copyright?! You mean, that's piracy?!

[Newcomer reporting in, seeking protection]: Not only is it pirated, but it's also a maliciously altered, low-quality pirated product.

[Newcomer reporting in, seeking protection]: Unless... you can show them what "officially licensed" really means.

[Lei Gong]: What do you think? Do you expect me to descend to earth and chop that movie company down? Heavenly laws forbid that!

Chen Xi smiled and typed quickly with both hands.

[Newcomer reporting in, seeking protection]: You don't need to do it yourself.

[Newcomer reporting in, seeking protection]: You only need to grant me a "decree" or a "array diagram" that can contain one ten-thousandth of your power.

[Newcomer reporting in, seeking protection]: I am willing to forge a true "Thor's Hammer" for you in the mortal realm.

[Newcomer reporting in, seeking protection]: Let those mortals witness firsthand what the might of heaven is, what the power of thunder is.

silence.

The group remained silent for a full three minutes.

Chen Xi wasn't in a hurry; he was waiting.

He knew that for a "tech guru" whose expertise had been severely offended, proving himself was more important than anything else.

[System notification: Lei Gong has sent you an exclusive red envelope—Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Universal Transformation Thunder Array (Simplified Engineering Version) x1!]

It became.

Chen Xi held her breath and tapped the red envelope that was flashing with blue-purple electric arcs.

There was no nonsense, only Lei Gong's menacing comment.

[Thunder God]: Take it!

[Lei Gong]: This is my manuscript from when I was laying mines. Although it was weakened by 99% by the rules of Heaven, it is still enough to make a sound in your mortal world.

[Thunder God]: I have only one request: Make it bigger for me! It has to be brighter than that Thanos gauntlet! I want everyone to know that the real Thor doesn't look like that!

Chen Xi then extracted the contents of the red envelope and projected them directly onto the large screen in the command center.

Li Guobang, who was still preoccupied with the approaching aircraft carrier, subconsciously looked up.

At first glance, the old general's eyes widened.

That's not some kind of scribbling.

It was an engineering blueprint so complex it was suffocating, filled with violent aesthetics.

On the enormous holographic projection, countless runes are arranged in a strange topological structure, forming three core energy circuits: energy storage, pressurization, and release.

At the very center of the drawing is an exaggeratedly long cannon barrel wrapped with countless coils.

"This...this is..."

Su Qingge rushed in without anyone noticing. She had been studying the pile of rhenium bricks in the laboratory, but now she was like a shark that had smelled blood, pouncing on the control panel.

Her hands trembled as she tried to touch the virtual lines, her eyes burning with a fervor even more intense than when she first saw the blueprints for the lithography machine.

"Superconducting electromagnetic railgun..."

Su Qingge's voice became shrill due to extreme excitement.

"No! This is more than just an electromagnetic cannon!"

"Look at this circuit!" she pointed to a cloud-like structure on the blueprint. "This is the ultimate form of room-temperature superconductivity! It solves the problem of thermal ablation caused by the Lorentz force!"

"And this energy storage unit! It doesn't utilize capacitors, but rather some kind of... some kind of field resonance!"

"This is a perfect yet violent energy projection system, at least a hundred years ahead of Earth's technology!"

Su Qingge suddenly turned her head and stared intently at Chen Xi, as if she were looking at an alien.

"You call this a minefield?"

"This is clearly like stuffing lightning into a tube and then spitting it out like a sunflower seed!"

Chen Xi spread his hands, looking completely innocent.

"Don't ask me, this is the 'copyright protection fee' given by Grandpa Lei."

He looked at Li Guobang, who was completely stunned, and his eyes grew cold.

"Old Li, is the boat ready?"

Li Guobang's Adam's apple bobbed as he struggled to squeeze out a sound.

"The first Type 055 destroyer of the East China Sea Fleet is currently undergoing maintenance in the shipyard."

"That's our best right now..."

"It's been demolished."

Chen Xi interrupted him directly, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

"Take down the main gun of that ship."

"Put this big thing on."

"But... how do you explain this thing?" Li Guobang pointed at the futuristic-looking blueprint, his forehead covered in cold sweat. "This is clearly not a product of Earth. If the West sees this..."

Chen Xi smiled.

He walked up to the big screen and lightly drew a line on the menacing-looking drawing.

"explain?"

"Why explain?"

"We are conducting upgrade tests on a new generation of marine meteorological observation equipment."

Chen Xi turned around, his back to the blueprint that was powerful enough to destroy the fleet, and faced Li Guobang, opening his arms.

Have you ever heard of artificial rainmaking?

"We're just trying to alleviate the drought by firing a few 'rain-inducing bombs' into the sky, isn't that reasonable?"

"As for those aircraft carriers that want to come and spy..."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Chen Xi's eyes.

"Then let them come."

"Perfect timing, this 'artificial rain' might be a bit big."

"I'm worried that their umbrellas aren't sturdy enough."
