Chapter 919 - 476: What the Great Xia People Want to Do, They Will Surely Achieve
It was lunch time.
Guo Nan Nan had a sudden idea and decided to eat at the cafeteria of the Atina nationality.
The Development Branch has set up two internal cafeterias in total, Cafeteria No. 1 and Cafeteria No. 2.
The former is a Xia-style cafeteria, while the latter is an Atina-style cafeteria, offering different types of dishes.
Originally, he thought this was to accommodate different dietary habits, but now he understands it was deliberate, with the intent to promote the idea of "Great Xia People are superior."
Therefore, the Xia-style cafeteria not only has a better dining environment but also a richer variety of dishes.
The access level of Cafeteria No. 1 is also higher, Great Xia nationality staff can choose to go to Cafeteria No. 2 to experience local cuisine.
Conversely, Atina nationality staff can’t even enter Cafeteria No. 1.
Guo Nan Nan looked at his female secretary and instructed: "Later, I will go to Cafeteria No. 2 to eat and see if there are any staff with potential. No need to have Cafeteria No. 1 deliver a meal to me."
For the past two days, he has been ordering food to be delivered from the cafeteria, which is a privilege reserved for certain levels.
Jiang Ningxuan immediately responded: "Understood!"
Ten minutes later.
Guo Nan Nan wore a hat and pressed the brim down a bit, appearing discreetly at the entrance of Cafeteria No. 2.
He turned to look at the door’s security camera, and the LCD screen immediately displayed the words "Welcome."
He stepped inside and immediately used his superpower to slightly adjust the muscles of his face to avoid being recognized.
The Longevity Star Formation is a law in the field of life, enabling him to have super control over his own body, intuitively mastering the Dharma Gate to change his form.
Both cafeterias have advanced facial recognition technology, requiring face scanning for entry and exit.
The payment system is very advanced, with no cashiers or cashier points inside the cafeteria. An AI smartly settles accounts based on the information at the food counter.
Guo Nan Nan heard from the female secretary that on the cafeteria’s first official business day, all the Atina staff dining there were shocked.
The female secretary also said many Atina staff took photos with their phones and posted them on the Heaven Reaching Tower network, showing off the advanced technology in the cafeteria.
As a side note.
Great Xia, leveraging the recent frost disaster and the recent global floods, successfully promoted the Heaven Reaching Tower network worldwide.
After all, the Heaven Reaching Tower network is faster, there is a signal anywhere on the surface, the cost is cheaper, and registration comes with 500G of data. Regular people find this hard to resist.
Worldwide operators had no defense against this; so far, over 60% have gone bankrupt, with the remaining ones barely holding on.
The most interesting part is, no country has raised a protest, accepting this behavior tacitly.
This is true power dynamics.
At this moment.
Guo Nan Nan glanced around and immediately saw faces filled with satisfaction.
This is normal.
More than three years have passed since the Age of Calamity, yet Atina has not solved its food supply problem; too many people don’t have enough to eat.
The price of meals at the Development Branch’s cafeteria is only a quarter of the market price, and it also provides meal subsidies, making it hard for staff not to be happy.
He quietly sensed the surroundings and shook his head slightly.
These Atina people have low potential and aren’t worth significant cultivation.
While Guo Nan Nan carried a tray selecting dishes, he listened to the staff’s discussions.
"One peace bomb was dropped, and almost all of the more than sixty thousand civilians in Akshen City died. The Bering People are simply crazy."
"Akshen City is the hometown of Little Ivan, the leader of the Aberria Alliance, and it’s said many of his relatives and friends died in the peace bomb explosion. This leader is truly tragic."
"Little Ivan vowed he would avenge the Bering Kingdom, but the Aberria Alliance is so weak, is he planning to go assassinate King Roman III of Bering alone?"
The explosive news of the Bering Kingdom using the peace bomb is currently a global hot topic, even surpassing the floods, so most staff are discussing it.
Along with it, the previously unknown small city Akshen became a geographical term almost everyone knew on Canglan Star.
"Media reports say that an hour after the peace bomb explosion, the Bering Air Force dispatched a batch of fighter jets to bomb the capital Kui City of the Aberria Alliance. In the end, they were hit by anti-air missiles, with eight fighters shot down, and the remaining jets quickly fled. It’s unknown if this is true."
"It should be true; otherwise, the Bering People would have come forward to refute the rumors already!"
"Most likely the Aberria People got air defense weapons from Great Xia, shooting down Bering jets."
Guo Nan Nan listened to his subordinates’ discussions, the corners of his mouth softly curved.
As a senior official, he had access to more complete and detailed information.
The fighters shot down weren’t only 8 but a total of 14.
The other six fighters downed were the latest fully-stealth fighter jets of the Bering Kingdom.
Upon entering the skies over the Aberria Alliance, they were immediately detected by radar systems.
Yet the Aberria People didn’t intercept right away; they let them dive deeper and waited for another batch of non-stealth jets, then launched dozens of anti-air missiles.
The Bering People suffered a solid defeat, realizing their opponents had very powerful weapons and dared not easily enter the Aberria Alliance’s airspace again.
Besides deploying fighter jets, the Bering People also launched over a dozen hypersonic missiles in one go, but all were intercepted successfully, none hitting their targets.
The Bering People were furious and expressed strong protests through certain means to the Eastern Giant Dragon.
