Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

107: Want to use my technology? First, join the Xia Kingdom’s technology system.When Lu Chen’s cold and mocking phrase, “Too late,” clearly echoed through the broadcast system in front of Pangu Technology’s futuristic headquarters building, Burns and the Western Alliance magnates kneeling behind him all felt as if a bolt of black divine lightning from beyond the nine heavens had struck them hard on their skulls!

They were completely petrified!

Too late?!

What does this kid mean?!

Is he truly willing to risk provoking World War III and completely sever ties with them just for that ridiculous bit of “dignity”?!

Is he insane?!

“No! Mr. Lu Chen! You, you can’t do this!”

Burns scrambled up from the ground like a madman!

His face, usually as sharp as a hawk, was filled with unprecedented terror and

pleading!

“I know we were wrong!”

“We shouldn’t have used such despicable means against you!”

“We were a bunch of fools whose hearts were blinded by lard!”

“We are willing to accept any punishment!”

“We only beg, we only beg you to give us one more chance!”

“We implore you, for the sake of peace and development for all mankind!”

“Pull us up!”

His tearful plea, full of “genuine emotion,” instantly struck a chord with all the Western Alliance media reporters present!

Each of them cried heartbreakingly, as if their own father had just died!

Anyone who didn’t know better would have thought they had suffered some immense grievance.

However, just as they were frantically trying to garner sympathy from the entire world by acting miserable...

A sound, one that caught them all completely off guard, suddenly rang out from above their heads.

“Oh?”

“Peace and development for all mankind?”

The crowd subconsciously looked up.

They saw.

That mysterious young man, whose voice they had only heard but whose face they had never seen!

He was silently suspended in mid-air!

He was standing on a silver-white anti-gravity skateboard, filled with a sense of future technology!

He was still wearing his simple white research uniform.

His face still wore that harmless, innocent smile.

He looked like a Banished Immortal who did not belong to the mortal world.

But his pitch-black eyes, vast as the universe, were filled with the indifference of a god looking down upon ants, and with

disdain!

“Mr. Burns.”

He looked down at the Western Alliance spy chief, who was staring up at him in shock, and smiled faintly.

“I am very curious.”

“When you used ‘trumped-up’ charges to sanction our Xia Kingdom’s high-tech enterprises—”

“Why didn’t you talk about ‘peace and development for all mankind’ then?”

“When you used the ridiculous excuse of ‘national security’ to blockade our Xia Kingdom’s chip industry—”

“Why didn’t you talk about ‘peace and development for all mankind’ then?”

“When you acted like a pack of mad dogs, frantically sending assassins and spies into our Xia Kingdom, even attempting genocide against us using genetic viruses!”

“Where did you—”

He suddenly waved his hand!

His dark eyes instantly erupted with a terrifying cold light capable of eclipsing the sun and the moon!

“—throw the eight characters of ‘Peace-and-Development-for-All-Mankind’ this time? Into which trash can?!”

His words were scathing!

Every sentence drew blood!

They were filled with the towering fury and

questioning of the awakened Oriental Lion!

In an instant, Burns and the Western Alliance magnates behind him were all speechless!

Their faces turned purple like pig liver!

They wished they could find a hole in the ground and crawl into it!

“Now!”

“When you can’t win, you run over to talk ‘peace’ with me?”

“Don’t you think—”

“—it’s ridiculous?”

Lu Chen slowly shook his head, looking down at the Western Alliance magnates who were utterly humiliated.

His face was full of disappointment.

“I originally wanted to play with you properly.”

“I never expected—”

“—that you would kneel so quickly.”

“Truly...”

“...boring.”

After speaking, he slowly turned around, seemingly finding it a waste of time to even glance at them again.

“Wait! Wait! Wait!”

Burns looked at the departing, god-like silhouette and let out a desperate roar!

“Mr. Lu Chen!”

“What exactly do you want?!”

“What do we have to do for you to let us go?!”

“Let you go?”

Lu Chen stopped walking.

He did not turn back.

He only left behind a silhouette filled with loneliness and pride,

and

an ultimate ultimatum filled with god-like arrogance and certainty.

ultimate ultimatum.

“My conditions are very simple.”

“Starting today.”

“If you want to use any technology from Pangu Technology.”
