the next day.
May 5th, year 1 of the Glacial Calendar.
Today is the day when Xingchen opens its manganese nodule trading market to the world.
Early on, many people gathered in front of the Xingchen Foreign Affairs Department. Not only small and medium-sized city-states and large sects and organizations from all over the world, but also important representatives from the thirteen most powerful superpowers in the world.
Currently, any major organization or powerful country with an emperor in charge can be regarded as a super power.
In this way, there are a total of thirteen emperors in the world, and accordingly thirteen superpowers were born.
However, those with peak kings or half-step kings at their command are considered large forces. They are only one step behind super powers and are collectively called first-rate forces.
Just down the road is a medium-sized city-state where the mid-to-high-end king sits, a second-rate force.
After that, there are small city-states where ordinary kings sit, and third-rate forces.
And those sanctuaries without the protection of the king are all inferior forces, and in the end they can only become objects of annexation.
At 9 a.m., the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a press conference.
"Welcome to Xingchen, and welcome everyone to attend the first external press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Xingchen on May 5, 1st year of the Glacial Calendar."
After briefly greeting everyone, Foreign Minister Xu Wenbin went straight to the point:
"I have three things to inform you about this press conference."
"The first thing is that the Star Trading Market, which was originally scheduled to open today, has been suspended. The specific date is uncertain."
"What?"
"Suspension? What's going on?"
"Are you kidding us?"
"What the hell are you Xingchen doing??"
As soon as this news was announced, it could be said that one stone stirred up a thousand waves. Everyone was in an uproar and stood up to ask why.
Suddenly there was a lot of noise and it was impossible to hear what everyone was saying.
But Xu Wenbin knew what everyone wanted to ask without having to listen. He calmly patted the microphone on the podium and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
"If you have any questions, I will answer them later."
"Now, I have two major news to inform you."
"Please be quiet!!"
"Please obey the order of the venue!!"
After being comforted, everyone slowly became quiet.
certainly.
It's also because everyone is curious.
The first piece of news is so exciting, but what about the other two?
What could it be? ?
Will it still be so exciting? ?
For a moment, everyone was curious, confused and...a little expectant.
"The second thing is that at 0:15 a.m. today on the 5th, our Xingchen 2 Pacific Mining Site was suddenly attacked by unknown persons. The only two Pioneers in our base have been stolen by criminals..."
“Please look at the big screen!!”
Everyone looked at the light curtain blankly.
At this moment, what was swirling in their heads were Xu Wenbin's words just now.
The stars were robbed?
The Pioneer seabed mining vehicle was robbed?
Who did it? ?
After counting the interest.
Everyone was sure that Xingchen had been robbed. In just 2 seconds, Xingchen's only two Pioneers were all taken away by two men in black.
"Such a bad act, we, the stars, condemn it!!"
"Our city lord is very angry about this."
Xu Wenbin said angrily on the podium:
"so."
"Before the identity of the murderer is confirmed, our Xingchen will not open the market to the outside world, so as not to be taken advantage of by this hateful villain."
"But Minister Xu, our country needs mines~~"
"Yes, we are waiting for the ore to cast the city wall."
"You bastard, who did this? Stand up and I will chop you to death!!"
Many people couldn't help but wailed.
"Everyone, please be quiet. In response to such bad behavior, I want to announce the third thing."
At this moment, Xu Wenbin said loudly:
"In response to last night's robbery, our stars hereby issue a reward - to anyone who can uncover these two men in black and provide the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, our stars hereby offer a reward of 100,000 tons of manganese metal."
"For those who can kill these two men in black, we will reward each of them with 1 million tons of manganese metal."
"If we can kill the people or forces behind this organization, we will reward 10 million tons of manganese metal or rare metals of equal value at one time."
"Let me go!!"
"What kind of deal is this? Hurry up and check the news."
"My darling, if we kill the organizer behind the scenes, we will be in trouble!!"
"The stars are pouring money, who is going to be unlucky?"
"..."
The moment the reward order was announced, the entire venue was in a state of excitement, as they were all stunned by the news one after another.
Not only was he surprised that someone finally couldn't help but attack Xingchen, but he was even more surprised by Xingchen's generosity.
This is hundreds of millions of tons of manganese metal, which is enough for the superpowers to mine for several years, but it has been rewarded like this.
“What a generous move!!”
While shocked, this news was also immediately sent back to their respective countries or city-states by representatives from major forces around the world.
Suddenly, the whole world went crazy, looking for the robbers frantically.
Among them, some inevitably think more.
That’s 10 million tons of manganese metal! !
5 trillion dragon coins! !
Under the temptation of huge interests, all forces with some strength are being targeted by all kinds of agents.
Inside Villa No. 1.
"Brother Feng, is there too much reward?"
While browsing the news, Li Wanrou asked curiously:
"And we already know who is behind this, why are you offering a reward?"
According to the current L_guo10 dragon coins per 150g cream, 100,000 tons of manganese metal is 2.5 billion creams, which is enough for 1 million people for nearly 7 years.
It's too much.
It hurts Li Wanrou.
"Hehe."
"If they don't give away a little more meat and bones, how can they have motivation?"
Chu Feng laughed:
"And."
"The Sun Kingdom and the Borneo Kingdom did this too cleanly, and it's not so easy to find out."
"More, I should."
That's right.
As soon as he got up in the morning, Chu Feng received a report from Tiangong, confirming that the robbers this time were the Sun Kingdom and the Borneo Kingdom, one of the three kingdoms born from the corpse of the Asan Kingdom.
"Brother Feng, why don't you just announce it? Isn't it better to just expose their ugly faces?" Li Wanrou was confused.
"No, no, no!"
Chu Feng shook his head.
"Offering a bounty, arresting people, destroying a country, etc., these are not my real purpose."
"I want to be a hot spot."
"A hot spot that can divert the world's attention to other places."
"A hot spot that can dilute our Xingchen."
At present, Xingchen's popularity is too high, and it is always under the public's attention. This is not acceptable.
Take the current large-scale mining plan as an example.
Every secret transportation of the Pioneer mining car is a major test for Xingchen, and such a test will last for a full month.
No matter how careful Chu Feng is, he dare not guarantee that no one will find out the clues.
So.
He needs a hot news.
The current "car theft incident" is a good hot spot.
He will not let this hot spot cool down easily. Instead, he will hype it up, vigorously hype it up, attract the world's attention, and thus reduce the pressure on the logistics department to secretly transport the Pioneers.
