"By the way," Xu Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled, "haven't there been any new spatial nodes in the past two weeks?"
The system didn't pop up any tasks.
【Have. 】
"I can't handle it?"
[That's not the case. Since the goal is to devour the fantasy world later, it's natural to need to preserve spatial nodes.]
Without spatial nodes, dimensional gates cannot be generated.
Xu Yuan cannot go to the corresponding fantasy world.
If you can't go to the corresponding fantasy world, you can't seize the world core and devour it.
"Are there no more space node missions in the future?"
The real-world situation is far from optimistic. The system will reserve space nodes as appropriate within acceptable limits. If the threshold is exceeded, the host will still need to take action.
Xu Yuan felt that this was somewhat like mowing the lawn.
In order to eventually devour the fantasy world, it is necessary to preserve spatial nodes.
But too much of that would be unbearable in the real world.
Therefore, it needs to be trimmed from time to time as needed.
"What about the bounty mission? I'll kill the person, and you don't have to shut down the spatial node."
[Yes, the host can accept it independently.]
Xu Yuan thought for a moment: "Does devouring the fantasy world count as completing the spatial node mission?"
【Calculate. 】
"How are the rewards calculated?"
[Disbursement proceeded as normal.]
"Absorbing the fantasy world should completely solve the problems caused by that world, right? Why is the reward only a single spatial node mission?"
Such are the rules.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately lost interest in talking to it and turned to look at the little crow beside him.
During this period, everything else proceeded steadily.
The little crow found Theresa and the others.
The nuclear weapons deal with China has also been finalized.
Judging by the time, they should be almost ready over there.
"Go to the embassy again and tell them you can leave now."
Half a day later, at sea.
A special plane flying from Japan to China is soaring through the sky.
Besides the captain, there was only the ambassador on the plane.
As the plane approached the agreed location, it began its descent.
During high-altitude flights, the cabin is pressurized to ensure passenger safety and comfort.
Outside the cabin, the air pressure is very low due to the altitude.
-
For example, at an altitude of 10,000 meters, the air pressure inside the cabin is generally pressurized to 0.6 to 0.8 atmospheres, while the pressure outside the cabin is only about 0.26 atmospheres.
The pressure difference between the inside and outside of the air will create a huge pressure.
Even if the cabin door is unlocked, it would still require approximately 10 tons of force to open it.
Ordinary people certainly cannot do that.
As for whether the "unknown entity" could be achieved, the ambassador was not entirely sure. To avoid any potential embarrassment, the meeting place was set at low altitude.
Upon seeing the red color in the distance, the pilot unlocked the cabin door and reduced the flight speed.
Soon, as the cabin door was opened from the outside, a cold, gust of wind instantly swept through the cabin.
As the cabin door was closed again, everything calmed down, except that the interior became extremely messy.
After pausing for a moment, the ambassador unbuckled his seatbelt, stood up, extended his hand to Xu Yuan, and smiled, "Hello, nice to meet you, Mr. [Unidentified]."
"Hello." Xu Yuan reached out and shook hands with him.
Flying from Japan to China is quite a long distance.
It's still easier to take a plane.
However, he didn't want to reveal his identity, and it wasn't convenient for him to go to the airport under the guise of being "unidentified".
In the end, they changed it to boarding the plane midway through the flight.
When the two shook hands, the ambassador felt as if there was something between them.
He simply pretended not to notice.
After releasing his grip, he gestured and said, "Please sit down."
"Thanks."
"Does the gentleman with the unclear character speak Chinese?"
"meeting."
Upon hearing this, the ambassador immediately switched to Chinese and began to chat.
The more they talked, the more surprised he became.
Chinese is not easy to learn.
No matter how well a foreigner learns, the difference is still easily detectable to a true Chinese person.
The Chinese is so well-written!
It's practically like my mother tongue.
There are also many subtle linguistic details that are revealed unintentionally.
He doesn't look like a foreigner at all.
Could he really be Chinese?!
The ambassador had some suspicions, but he did not show them or make a fuss about them.
[Unclear identity] If they are Chinese, this is a good thing.
But if this gets publicized, it might not be a good thing.
The West has been hyping up the "China threat" theory.
China faces significant international pressure.
If they become the target of public criticism at this time, their situation will likely become very difficult.
The same applies to [unclear meaning].
The safest approach is to remain neutral and not take sides with any country.
If he is indeed Chinese, it is best not to spread this news, both for China and for him, until he becomes strong enough.
Of course, this is on the premise that he is truly Chinese.
The ambassador wanted to ask, but was afraid of being too forward.
After all, this deal is very important.
He couldn't bear the responsibility if things got messed up because of his own mistake.
After thinking for a moment, he suppressed his curiosity and continued, "The recent situation is unsettling. We should have worked together to de-escalate the situation, but while the United States has agreed on the surface, it has been making constant moves behind the scenes."
He shook his head as he spoke: "There are reports that the US military will have further military operations today."
"Military operation?"
"It's said to be the capture of two Claymores. The US has troops stationed in Japan, which gives them a significant advantage."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan frowned.
He sighed, stood up, and said, "Sorry, something came up today. Give me a call and I'll contact you later."
The ambassador was taken aback.
Given their profession and the occasion, especially when facing extremely important figures, even casual conversation is unlikely to be genuine.
He was actually implying to Xu Yuan that the situation was unstable recently, and it would be better to stay put.
Who would have thought it would have the opposite effect?
But there's no other way now that things have come to this.
After all, the person in front of them has a very domineering style.
The higher-ups value this deal highly.
If he were to offer advice or dissuasion at this point, it would likely lead to an unpleasant situation.
Moreover, the other party is very likely a fellow countryman.
The ambassador, feeling helpless, could only recite a string of numbers and ask, "Are they your friends?" "No," Xu Yuan replied, then turned towards the cockpit and said, "Could you please unlock the cabin door?"
There's no need to break the door, is there?
A response came over the in-flight announcement: "Wait a moment, I'm descending now."
"No need, just unlock it," Xu Yuan said.
Two seconds later, the cabin door was unlocked.
Xu Yuan walked over and opened it, and the wings on its back unfolded as it flew away.
The ambassador was dumbfounded.
Holy crap! It actually opens?!
And why does it seem so relaxed?!
You can open it if you want, but at least close the door before you leave, bro!
This is 10,000 meters in the air!
People would die if the cabin wasn't pressurized!
I'm just an ordinary person!
The poor ambassador was now unable to speak.
A biting, icy wind swept through the cabin.
He clung tightly to the seat to avoid being sucked out.
"Damn it! I never expected to die like this—"
Just as he was thinking this, Xu Yuan flew back and closed the door: "Sorry."
After saying that, he flew away again.
The air pressure inside the cabin quickly began to rise.
The ambassador, huddled in his chair, was still shaken. After regaining his senses, he gave a wry smile.
This guy is truly inhuman.
