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

Inside the top-secret meeting room, the air seemed to freeze.

All you could hear was the buzzing sound of the computer case fan spinning wildly.

That is the most dazzling jewel in the crown of Western industry, which is being decoded little by little and transformed into the flesh and blood of China.

Su Qingge's fingers were trembling.

She carefully inserted the miniature film, which she had removed from Williams' bloodstained dentures, into the specially designed reading slot.

The screen flickered.

The green data stream cascaded down like a waterfall, reflecting on her pale face.

The progress bar has reached 100%.

"Verification passed."

Su Qingge's voice was very soft, yet it was like a thunderclap that exploded in the deathly silent room.

"The core logic is closed-loop, the molecular formula structure is complete, and the thermodynamic parameters are perfectly matched."

She turned around abruptly, her eyes red-rimmed.

"It's true."

These three words carry immense weight.

That was a dream that generations of Chinese scientists had longed for for half a century, standing on tiptoe outside the blockade.

An elderly academician with a full head of white hair walked forward shakily.

He reached out, wanting to touch the design on the screen, but feared it was just an illusion.

Those are the blueprints for the single-crystal blades of the sixth-generation aero-engine.

It's the heart.

It is the soul of industry.

The old man's hands were covered with brown spots and old burn scars.

Those are marks left from decades ago when steel was smelted using rudimentary methods and blades were hand-polished.

His hands trembled like withered leaves in the wind.

Turbid tears slid down his deeply lined face, each drop landing on the table in front of him.

"Thirty years."

The old man's throat emitted a wheezing sound like a bellows.

"My teacher went blind because of this formula, and before he died, he held my hand and said, 'I'm not reconciled.'"

"My senior colleague died of exhaustion on the lab bench while testing high-temperature resistant materials, without even getting a hot meal for the last time."

The old man choked up, his voice hoarse and heartbreaking.

"We were accused of plagiarism."

"I was called a useless person who only knew how to build shells."

"We worked day and night, our hair fell out, our backs broke, but we were just one step away from success."

He suddenly burst into tears, like a child who had been wronged and was finally seeing his parents.

That was the pent-up frustration of half a lifetime.

"Today...we finally have our own heart."

"The country... is saved!"

Li Guobang stood to the side, his eyes welling up with tears.

This tough man, who had faced countless life-or-death situations, now had no choice but to turn his back.

He wiped his face hard.

This is the destiny of a nation.

It was never obtained through prayer or charity.

It was won back through ruthless means, brutality, and even thuggish behavior.

As long as the outcome is positive.

Even if your hands are stuck in the mud, your heart is still warm.

What's wrong with being a villain if it can straighten these spines?

Chen Xi watched all of this quietly.

He neither went forward to comfort her nor joined in the revelry.

He simply left the conference room silently and closed the heavy door.

Hidden strength and name.

Back in his office, Chen Xi leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

"The matters concerning the mortal realm are now settled."

He took out an exquisite express delivery box from the drawer, a familiar, chilling smirk playing on his lips.

"Now, it's time to settle the Heavenly Court's accounts."

This is more than just a transaction.

This is a "fraud" about gods.

On the phone screen, the red avatar kept flashing wildly.

【The Great God of the Three Altars and the Sea (Nezha)】: @Chen Xi, where are the things?!

【Three Altars Sea Meeting Great God (Nezha)】: Where's the mecha figure you were talking about?!

【The Great God of the Three Altars and the Sea (Nezha)】: I've lent you my Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) for so long, you've practically marinated that sea in it! You're not trying to renege on your debt, are you?!

Even through the screen, Chen Xi could feel the Third Prince's rage.

It's estimated that by now, the floor of Yunlou Palace would have been worn through by his footsteps.

Chen Xi picked up the delivery box unhurriedly.

Inside is a component with extremely exquisite workmanship and a strong metallic texture.

He specially commissioned a model maker to make it.

Optimus Prime's left leg.

That's right, it only has one leg.

Chen Xi's fingers flew across the screen.

[Chen Xi]: Third Prince, please calm down.

[Chen Xi]: The passage between the mortal realm and the heavenly court has been a bit congested lately. It seems that the Jade Emperor is downloading some high-definition resources, which is taking up bandwidth.

[Chen Xi]: In addition, this mecha is a creation of heaven and earth, and its size is too large to be transferred in one go.

[Chen Xi]: I'll send it to you right away.

[Ding! Chen Xi has sent an exclusive red envelope to the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas.]

The Thirty-Third Heaven, the Cloud Tower Palace.

Nezha was idly playing with the Qiankun Ring, spinning it like a hula hoop.

His eyes lit up instantly upon hearing the notification tone.

"They're here!"

He rubbed his hands excitedly and opened the glittering gold red envelope.

"Let me see what kind of peerless treasure this is, even cooler than Lei Zhenzi's wings!"

A flash of light appeared.

A heavy metal component fell into his arms.

Nezha picked it up eagerly.

With its blue paint job and red flame patterns, every joint is incredibly precise.

Especially the texture of the hydraulic rod, cold and hard.

It is filled with an "industrial aesthetic" that the Heavenly Court has never seen before.

"handsome!"

Nezha couldn't help but admire it, stroking the mechanical leg with great affection.

"These lines, this sheen, are far superior to that old man who only knows how to make noise!"

He tried to infuse it with a little spiritual energy.

The nozzles on the mechanical legs instantly lit up with blue light and emitted a "buzzing" mechanical sound.

That's so awesome!

Nezha was excited to see the overall effect.

He stood up and put his legs on the ground.

then……

He was stunned.

He turned the leg over and over to examine it several times.

He even lay down on the ground and peered into the gaps in the clouds to see if anything had fallen down.

No.

It really only has one leg.

Above the knees, there was nothing.

It's like a defective product that has had its limbs amputated.

The veins on Nezha's forehead bulged instantly, and his Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) turned black and red.

【The Great God of the Three Altars and the Seas (Nezha)】: ? ? ?

【The Great God of the Three Altars and Seas (Nezha)】: That's it?

[The Great God of the Three Altars (Nezha)]: Where is your body? Where is your head? Where is that big axe?!

[The Great God of the Three Altars and Seas (Nezha)]: I've already taken my pants off... no, I've even taken off my Universe Ring, and this is what you show me?!

【The Great God of the Three Altars (Nezha)】: Chen Xi! What's with you sending me a cripple?! Are you making fun of me?!

Chen Xi looked at the screen, took a sip of tea, and remained calm.

now it's right.

If I let you have your fill all at once, how am I supposed to do business afterwards?

He began his performance.

[Chen Xi]: Third Prince, you don't understand.

[Chen Xi]: This is the most popular "blind box trading" game in the mortal world, and only the most distinguished VIPs can experience it.

[Chen Xi]: This mecha is called "Optimus Prime". It has twelve parts, each of which requires extremely precious materials and willpower to condense.

[Chen Xi]: Even in the mortal world, not everyone can collect them all.

[Chen Xi]: Today's version is the first trial version, mainly to let you experience the craftsmanship from Cybertron.

Nezha stared blankly at the lone leg.

Although I don't understand what Cybertron is, it sounds really powerful.

【Three Altars Sea Meeting Great God (Nezha)】: What about the rest? When will they be released?

Chen Xi paused for a moment and sent a "difficult" emoji.

[Chen Xi]: Third Prince, you know that too.

[Chen Xi]: Recently, resources in the mortal realm have become scarce, and the maintenance fee for the passage has also increased.

[Chen Xi]: To collect the whole set, or even get the hidden "Golden Battle Axe", you'll have to see the Third Prince's "sincerity".

[Chen Xi]: After all, I heard that things have been a bit unsettled in the East China Sea recently.

[Chen Xi]: Perhaps I'll need your "glue" again? Or... is there some other trouble?

Nezha held the exquisitely crafted mechanical leg, his teeth itching with rage.

This is a trap!

A huge, golden, deep pit!

It's like giving him a delicious meal, but before he can even taste the saltiness, the plate is taken away.

This feeling of being torn apart is worse than being killed.

As he looked at the broken section, his mind automatically conjured up the majestic and imposing image of the mecha when it was fully intact.

If only I could wear this thing and take a stroll around Nantianmen...

Those heavenly soldiers and generals must be green with envy!

Even Erlang Shen, with his three eyes, would probably be drooling with envy!

【The Great God of the Three Altars (Nezha)】: Chen Xi! You cunning merchant!

【The Great God of the Three Altars and Seas (Nezha)】: Your tricks are even dirtier than that old fox Taibai Jinxing!

【The Great God of the Three Altars and Seas (Nezha)】: Do you believe I can strike you dead with a bolt of lightning!

Chen Xi smiled.

Threat?

The threat from a deity is usually the prelude to a deal being made.

[Chen Xi]: Oh dear, the Thunder God has been my VIP client lately. Are you sure he'll help you strike me down?

[Chen Xi]: Moreover, if this left leg doesn't have a right leg to match, it's just a decoration.

[Chen Xi]: What a pity...

[Chen Xi]: I heard that a "Bumblebee" series will be released next week. It's made from a sports car and is even cooler.

Nezha's breathing quickened as he looked at the words.

A sports car?

I've never seen it before, but the name sounds really exciting!

I want to throw it away, but I can't bear to.

I want to keep it, but it hurts to see it.

He finally understood why parents in the mortal world always say, "What's free is the most expensive."

This Chen Xi is simply a devil!

But he had no choice.

To collect this divine gear, and to show off in the Heavenly Court's social media circle.

He swallowed his anger!

【The Great God of the Three Altars and Seas (Nezha)】: ...

【The Great God of the Three Altars and the Seas (Nezha)】: You win!

【The Great God of the Three Altars and the Seas (Nezha)】: Tell me! What do you want to borrow this time?!

【The Great God of the Three Altars and Seas (Nezha)】: But I'm warning you! If you give me another leg next time, I'll... I'll go to the mortal realm and bite you to death!

Chen Xi looked at the screen and smiled like a fox that had stolen a chicken.

immortal?

Faced with desire, even gods are nothing more than powerful leeks to be harvested.

Whether it's the Hun Tian Ling or the Samadhi True Fire.

Once you pinpoint the pain point, there's no wall you can't break through.

And he.

It's that farmer holding a sickle, smiling as he stands beneath the clouds.

After this wave of harvests, the next wave is already on its way.

Chen Xi turned off her phone and glanced out the window.

The night was deep, but dawn was approaching.

"Dr. Su."

Chen Xi called out to the door, his tone exuding a confident air of mastery.

"Get ready, the new 'technical support' will be arriving soon."

"This time, we're going to go big."
