Chapter 412 - 343: Where Did the Title Go?
The drone before their eyes looked like a physical object, not a projection.
This was something that these people, all accustomed to high-tech, could discern.
But why had their attacks failed time and time again?
And why, after their attacks passed right through the middle of the physical drone, was it still there, completely unaffected?
It was perfectly intact, without even the slightest shift or evasive action.
Everyone’s expression grew grave, and Smith frowned deeply.
"You’re from Flower Country. Your country’s live-streaming technology shouldn’t have reached this level, right?"
Everyone knows that Flower Country is still a bit behind in technology.
Even the Free Country didn’t have this level of capability, so how could Flower Country?
The others thought so too. After all, the rumors all said that Flower Country was somewhat backward.
"Everyone has their secrets. Don’t you? Would you tell me yours? The only thing I can tell you is that this is happening live on stream, and this is no prop from the fog."
"What proof do you have? Do you think a few words are enough to make us back down? Is that even possible? Who knows if this is all just an act you’re putting on! They say you Eastern Huaguo people love playing these mysterious games!"
A young man spoke up, dissatisfied.
Wen Ying looked at him. "We don’t know each other, do we?"
"We don’t! Don’t even think about trying to fool me!"
"Alright. Then, to my friends in the stream, please help me look into this gentleman’s background."
「Meanwhile, in the Free Country.」
In a secure conference room within Smith’s home nation, the leaders were gathered, watching Doctor Wen’s live stream.
"Smith doesn’t know this woman from Flower Country is live-streaming right now. We can’t see the so-called drone, but from what they’re saying, it’s something that can’t be developed with current technology, right? So how could Flower Country have the technology to make it?"
"Maybe this woman from Flower Country is lying!"
"That doesn’t seem to be the case. Everyone in the stream says this woman from Flower Country never lies. And while we may not like Huaguo people, we all know they have a reputation for being honest. Could it be they have some hidden technology?"
At these words, the leaders’ expressions turned even more solemn.
Technology represents a nation’s level of development. If Flower Country was truly catching up, they absolutely could not let it slide.
The more they thought about it, the more terrifying it became. This was simply too frightening!
Just how many things did Flower Country have that they didn’t know about?
This would be a disaster!
One by one, orders were given, crossing different departments and countries, consuming immense manpower and resources.
A smile appeared on the faces of those in the conference room. "Those insidious and cunning Huaguo people! We must teach them a lesson this time! How dare they develop technology behind our backs! This technology must be shared with us!"
Just as everyone was reveling in this joyous moment, someone rushed in with an anxious expression.
"Sir, perhaps you should take a look at the latest news?"
Although the leader was displeased, he began to read.
His expression grew darker and darker. "So you’re saying—no, *they’re* saying that this woman from Flower Country developed this herself? And that it has nothing to do with Flower Country?"
"How is that possible! How could a lowly woman do that! This is a conspiracy by Flower Country!"
But as he continued to read, his face turned even uglier.
After a long moment, he took a deep breath. "Relay this order: Cancel the previous plans! Reactivate the ’Flower Country Fog’ plan!"
This farcical misunderstanding had cost them tens of millions, and the leader placed all the blame for it squarely on the Huaguo people!
’Damned Huaguo people!’
"Use any means necessary to contact Smith! He must figure out the technology this woman from Flower Country possesses, and it would be best to get his hands on it! If that’s not possible, then destroy it! Along with that woman from Flower Country! And while you’re at it, tell Smith that his every move is being broadcast on that insidious Huaguo person’s live stream!"
「Back in the fog.」
Naturally, Wen Ying was unaware of all this, as were Smith and his group.
They looked at Wen Ying, hesitating to make a rash move.
Wen Ying glanced toward her live stream, then at the man who had spoken earlier. "How strange. Before you came to the fog, your persona among all your relatives and friends was that of a timid coward. But your grades were always excellent, and you joined a good company after graduating from college. So why did you suddenly quit your job? The people in the stream are asking you. Can you answer them?"
The man’s expression changed drastically. ’This woman from Flower Country actually knows all about me?’
