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

Deep within Base 001, a strange, refreshing fragrance permeated the air, making one's pores feel relaxed.

The seedling that had just broken through the soil was now quietly unfurling its emerald-like leaves.

On each leaf, golden veins flicker like breath, exuding a nobility that transcends the mundane world.

Su Qingge stood in front of the operating table, holding a pair of specially made surgical scissors in her hand.

Her hands were steady, but the moment the scissors touched the leaf, her fingertips trembled uncontrollably.

"Do you really want to cut it?"

Su Qingge turned around and looked at Chen Xi, who was leaning against the door frame.

Her eyes were full of heartache, as if she were cutting not a leaf, but the most precious work of art in the world.

"Cut."

Chen Xi's tone was calm, even carrying a hint of cold decisiveness.

"It's not for looking at, it's for using."

Click.

Only a small piece of leaf, about the size of a fingernail, fell.

However, a miraculous scene occurred the moment the leaf detached from the mother plant.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst forth from what was originally a tiny gap.

As the light shimmered, new tissue visibly grew and filled the area within the halo.

three seconds.

In just three seconds, the leaf was restored to its original state, even more translucent than before.

"Regenerative..."

Su Qingge stared at the image under the microscope, her voice hoarse with shock.

"Moreover, it's a zero-cost regeneration process. It directly draws energy from the void."

She turned around abruptly, staring intently at the broken piece of leaf that had fallen into the petri dish.

That small patch of green was now turning a large glass of pure water around it into a pale turquoise.

"Calculations show that the wood elemental energy contained in this small piece of leaf has a terrifying diffusion capacity."

Su Qingge brought up the data model and her fingers flew across the screen.

"If we put it into the base's circulating water system, we can create a super centrifugal dilution matrix."

One ton of water can be diluted into 100,000 tons.

"And this 100,000 tons of water is still a miraculous medicine that can repair genetic defects and kill cancer cells for the mortal body."

Su Qingge raised her head, and her usually calm and rational eyes were now burning with an almost frenzied fervor.

"Shennong Original Liquid"

"As long as this tree doesn't die, as long as its roots remain intact, we will have an inexhaustible supply of the original solution."

Chen Xi stepped forward and looked at the glass of emerald green liquid.

"Build a factory."

He turned to look at Li Guobang behind him.

"Old Li, dig through all the abandoned air-raid shelters under the base and transform them into the world's largest water plant."

"The engineering corps is already on its way."

Li Guobang's voice was strong and clear, but the worry in his eyes did not disappear.

"But Chen Xi, we've solved the production problem, but what about the time?"

"Time is not an issue."

Chen Xi took out the black phone from his pocket, a meaningful smile curving his lips.

"Since we've been driven to a dead end, we should let someone more capable help us get justice."

Li Guobang was taken aback: "You mean...?"

"The squeaky wheel gets the grease."

Chen Xi waved his phone, a sly glint in his eyes.

"We've suffered such a great injustice, we should at least tell our parents, right?"

He turned around, found a comfortable position, and nestled into the sofa, skillfully unlocking the screen.

The Heavenly Court chat group was busiest at this moment.

[Sun Wukong]: @Newcomer reporting in, please protect me, kid! Come out! I've polished this golden cudgel three times already, did Ye Fan actually go into that bronze coffin or not?!

[Nezha]: Update! Update! Update! If you don't update, I'll burn your house down!

[Erlang Shen]: Although I, the True Lord, disdain to urge you, this fragment has indeed somewhat disturbed my Dao heart.

Chen Xi looked at the screen full of messages urging him to update, but instead of replying immediately as usual, he slowly took a screenshot.

That was a screenshot of a front-page headline from a Western media outlet, with the headline written in large, blood-red letters: "Ultimatum: The End of Chinese Medicine."

The accompanying images showed the blocked life-saving drugs and the arrogant faces of Western politicians.

Chen Xi posted this picture in the group chat.

Then, in an extremely weak, helpless tone, and even with a hint of "last words," he typed out a line of text.

[Newcomer reporting in, please protect me]: Dear masters, it's not that I'm unwilling to update, but I'm simply not up to the task.

The group chat went silent instantly.

Two seconds passed.

Nezha: ? ? ?

[Sun Wukong]: Kid, what do you mean? Who dares to make you powerless?

Chen Xi sighed and continued acting on the small screen.

[Newcomer reporting in, seeking protection]: These barbarians are going too far. They've cut off our Chinese medicine, which is a life-saving medicine!

[Newcomer reporting in, seeking protection]: Although I am just an ordinary person, I know the importance of family and country. Now that my compatriots are suffering, I am exhausted in mind and body.

[Newcomer reporting in, seeking protection]: These next few days, I'm going to do manual labor to save the country, to find a way to live for those patients waiting to die. As for writing...

[Newcomer reporting in, seeking protection]: If I am able to return alive, I will certainly make it up to you. If I do not return... esteemed immortals, let's meet again in the next life.

Finally, he also posted a "clasped hands and tears" emoji.

This combo was as effective as the Queen Mother of the West's Peach Banquet being smashed.

The entire Heavenly Court chat group exploded.

[Sun Wukong]: This is outrageous!!!

The three exclamation marks, each seemingly carrying immense force, made Chen Xi's phone buzz loudly.

[Sun Wukong]: Where did these barbarians come from?! How dare they cut off people's livelihood?! How are they any different from the monsters of yesteryear?!

[Sun Wukong]: I, Old Sun, hate these bullies who prey on the weak more than anything else in my life! I'm so angry! I'm so angry!!

[Nezha]: (Flame.jpg) (Flame.jpg) (Flame.jpg)

[Nezha]: I knew it! I knew those golden-haired monsters in the mortal realm were no good!

【Nezha】: @Newcomer reporting in, please protect me, don't be afraid! You must write this book! Anyone who dares to stop you, I'll descend to earth right now and burn their wretched island to the ground! I'll burn those barbarians to ashes!!

[Thunder God]: My thunder hammer is also thirsty. To cut off someone's life-saving medicine is a grave offense against one's virtue and deserves divine retribution!

[Zhao Gongming]: Hmph, a bunch of uncivilized barbarians, how dare they try to hold us hostage in terms of wealth and resources? With just a flick of my finger, I can make their stock market crash ten thousand times over!

Looking at the excited immortals, Chen Xi's smile grew wider and wider.

But the words he typed were still filled with the tragic grandeur of "putting the overall situation first".

[Newcomer reporting in, seeking protection]: Thank you all for your kindness! But I cannot allow you to be tainted by karma. This is a matter of the mortal realm, and we mortals must bear it ourselves.

[Newcomer reporting in, please protect me]: No updates today, I'm off to battle.

After saying that, he decisively exited the chat interface and slammed his phone onto the table.

"Done."

Chen Xi stood up and straightened his collar.

Li Guobang watched in stunned silence, finally managing to stammer, "You're... using a deity?"

"This is called a united front."

Chen Xi walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the busy construction vehicle fleet outside, his eyes gradually turning cold.

"The wrath of the gods has been ignited; they are our spiritual support, and we can receive their aid at any time."

"As for material retaliation..."

Chen Xi turned around and looked at Su Qingge.

"The mass production line for Shennong No. 1 must be operational tonight."

"I want to let those arrogant Westerners know."

"What do you mean, 'It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away'?"
