Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 150: Refusal to Trade [Lapis Lazuli]
The interest of many national leaders was aroused. Countries with third-level extraordinary people wanted to add a few more, and countries without third-level extraordinary people wanted to achieve a breakthrough from 0. The third level was really important. The extraordinary people at this stage had achieved a qualitative change. They no longer relied on numbers to defeat the enemy. They could take the initiative to defeat the enemy and predict the future. The sixth sense was greatly improved, making the third-level extraordinary people have extremely clear minds and able to capture every detail. Moreover, in the eyes of the third-level extraordinary people, the world is no longer transparent air. He can see energy fluctuations through the air, thereby simulating and analyzing other people's tricks, and then quickly counterattack!
And Shen Jin's "food maker" ability is the best among them. He can imprint other people's abilities on his own supernatural food, thereby creating countless kinds of supernatural food, and then... the extraordinary team under Shen Jin also possesses other people's abilities, making them a powerful group!
While Shen Jin was thinking about the magical power of the third-level transcendent, he listened to the real-time translation of the pancake cook: "Now, the medicine we have in Shenji can strengthen the brain power of the second-level peak transcendent, so as to produce a sixth sense ability similar to that of the third-level transcendent. After taking this medicine many times, you can naturally be promoted to a third-level transcendent without any side effects. The combat power is the same as that of a genuine third-level transcendent! We call this medicine - Susanoo's Eye!"
"hiss--"
The video contains a lot of sounds of people gasping for air, indicating that the world has warmed up again.
The person in charge of the Crocodile Country had a buzz cut and looked arrogant and serious. "Jingbian, how can you prove that what you said... the Eye of Susanoo can have the effect you said? You should know that deception is not allowed in the International Supernatural United Organization Conference. I want to remind you, my old friend, please think it over before you speak again!"
Jingbian bowed again, "Ha! Please watch our recorded video. Shenji has already upgraded a third-level extraordinary person through this medicine!"
The video footage from Chuibing Country turned into a color documentary. It can be seen that the filming technique is very ordinary, handheld, very realistic, but with high clarity.
The video shows that after a second-level transcendent from Shen Ji was injected with the "Eye of Susanoo" drug three times, his momentum rose steadily and he finally broke through to become a third-level transcendent. The next moment after the breakthrough, a strong energy shock wave knocked down the camera. The video ended here and the scene was silent. If the video was not fake, it basically confirmed that Shen Ji's drug had the effect of breaking through to the third-level transcendent. However, there are still some countries that naturally distrust Chuibing Country. "How do you prove that this is not a play performed by your third-level transcendents to cooperate with you? Don't say it, the whole process looks quite real, at least it was filmed by a big director!"
"I think the example of one person is not enough to prove the effectiveness of the medicine. Maybe this person himself has the ability to break through to the third level of transcendence!"
"Can you provide the data of the extraordinary person's body after each injection of your medicine?"
These people paused for a moment and then said, "So... I suggest you take out a few bottles of medicine and let the extraordinary people in our country test them before making a final conclusion!"
Shen Jin was shocked!
Good job!
Having said so much, I still want it!
No, you want to get it for free!
However... Shen Jin felt that there was something wrong with Shen Ji's medicine. The video just now seemed to be a little off...
But he couldn't put it into words for the moment. It was just something in his subconscious, perhaps a fragment of memory, that didn't match reality. He couldn't figure it out for the time being. Then, Kenny from Afghanistan directly refuted the others: "What do you guys look like? We represent the country, not the vendors in the vegetable market. We should have the dignity of the country. The Shen Ji organization has participated in many meetings. When has it ever gone back on its word? So... I believe in the integrity of Shen Ji, so... How much of this medicine do you have? What price do you plan to sell it for?"
Others were silent as well. Everyone's attention was focused on the old man Jingbian who represented the Chuibing Kingdom. Jingbian smiled and said, "Shenji is willing to live in peace with the world, but... the production of extraordinary medicines comes at a price. Although we are willing to contribute these things to the world free of charge and fight against zombies together with countries around the world, but... Shenji currently needs more follow-up research and development. Our scientists have discovered that the limit of extraordinary humans is not the third level , but the fourth level! At that stage, zombies will be vulnerable! Humans will once again become the masters of the world!"
The man at the well looked fanatical and excited.
After a moment, he slowed down and said, "But that day is still some way off, so before that, I hope that all countries can continue. This time, the Divine Gathering is more willing to help weak countries so that they have the power to protect their homes. There are a total of 10 potions. As long as you can provide three of the following materials I listed, you can take one. Countries without third-level extraordinary people will be given priority!"
Below the video, there are a large number of chemical drugs, biological drugs, body tissues of second-level zombies, crystal cores, and some special animals. Kenny from Afghanistan was delighted when he heard this: "Great! I happen to have colorful elastic balls, non-ferrous metals, and animals infected with zombie viruses. I want some!"
Hmm? So this is the deal?
Shen Jin said: "Professor Kong, help me connect to the video conference, I want to trade with Kenny!"
"good!"
After a prompt sound from the device in front of Shen Jin, he could participate in the meeting and represent China.
"Mr. Kenny, I think Shen Ji's medicine... is not reliable. Instead of doing business with him, you might as well do a better business with me. I can sell some potions with a 10% chance of awakening special abilities, and there are no side effects!"
The eyes of all countries turned to China's video window again, but Shen Jin did not show up. Kong Long was still sitting in front of the stage. Everyone was muttering in their hearts: Doesn't China's stable potion only have a 1% chance of awakening other superpowers? Could it be... another improvement?
Hiss~!~!
Kenny smiled and said, "Is China going to come and grab it too? As far as I know, you already have more than three level three extraordinary people, right? The Shenji Organization will give priority to selling to countries that don't have level three extraordinary people. You guys don't need to compete with poor countries like us, right? You know, zombies are getting harder and harder to deal with nowadays, and we Afghans need this!"
He thought Shen Jin was trying to persuade him to quit, and then he grabbed the potion himself. Damn!
The old man at the well suddenly said: "Since China's Ministry of Resources is also interested in our Susanoo Eye, I can give you a bottle. We are neighbors and should help each other, but..."
Kong Long said in the Chinese channel: "We have always refused to do business with Shenji. Just watch... He is trying to win our favor and buy our things!"
Sure enough, the next second the old man by the well squinted his eyes and said, "But... I heard that China's energy extraction technology is world-class and can extract 100% pure energy factors. I think if we can obtain this technology, it will be more helpful for the subsequent research on fourth-level medicine, and it will also be a good thing for the world!"
Kong Long: "They want the [Extractor], and they try to convince us every time we have a meeting. However, they and other countries have never succeeded..."
Hu Shou added: "We will only consider sharing this technology with the world once we have completely defeated the zombies!"
Shen Jin curled his lips, and said it as if you can make an [Extractor]...
If anyone wants to share, I'm the one to share!
However... he agreed with Hu Shou's opinion that he should solve his own internal problems first instead of... raising a tiger to cause trouble.
The zombie situations in different countries are different. The Crocodile Country has a vast territory and a sparse population, and its climate is cold. Not only is it difficult for zombies to reach a certain scale, but also because of the climate, they move slowly and the activity of the zombie virus is reduced. Coupled with the fighting nation known for its bravery and good fighting skills, a large number of zombies were eliminated in the early stages of the zombie virus outbreak. Therefore, their current zombie threat is not serious, and they have already begun to establish major safe zones. Their regime is solid, and they are currently sitting firmly in the number one spot in the world. Even the United States can only envy them. The loss of hot weapons has dealt a great blow to the Americans. All their combat weapons have been laid down, and the mixed metropolises have been hit the hardest. The living people have automatically migrated to some less populated states, but... The United States has formed multiple large-scale zombie tides, which are constantly impacting their official settlements. Fortunately, their technology is still relatively advanced, and they have a foundation left over from the past. Various forbidden drugs that were already being researched before the end of the world and the research institutes that had denied it before the end of the world have become their trump cards after the end of the world. Various genetically modified people have appeared and saved the United States.
After they have secured their position, they naturally want to regain the world's number one research capability. However, China's extraction technology is a barrier that they have never been able to break through. No matter how advanced their equipment is, when extracting energy factors from energy crystal nuclei, it will be contaminated by impurities inside, resulting in insufficient purity of the medicine, or even turning it into a bottle of poison.
The white American diplomat also said: "Although Shenji's character was not very good before, I think their proposal this time is very good. China should share extraction technology with the world. We should be good brothers fighting side by side, right, my dear Professor Kong?"
Kong Long: "Ugly, reject, understand?"
Everyone: “…”
"Pfft!" Shen Jin didn't expect the serious professor to say such a popular Internet term, and he laughed. Kong Long said helplessly: "They always say this, I'm too lazy to deal with them, they just won't give it to me!"
"Sure, Professor Kong, very willful!"
Then Shen Jin said in the meeting: "Let's not talk about the extraction technology. Tianluodiwang will definitely not sell it. Mr. Kenny, since you insist on making a deal with Shenji, then I can't stop you, but it won't affect our next deal, about your country's... Lapis Lazuli!"
Kenny's expression eased a little when he heard Shen Jin stopped snatching. "No problem my friend, Afghanistan is willing to trade with the powerful China, but... are you sure you want the kind of beautiful lapis lazuli? Oh, I mean the kind of lapis lazuli used to make jewelry, right my friend?"
"Yes, that's it!"
"Okay, no problem. What we in Afghanistan lack is this beautiful sky-blue stone. It's just a matter of transportation. You have to figure it out yourself!"
"I will bring people to collect it. You just need to tell me where to collect it. Okay, you can make your request now. By the way, I want... a lot of lapis lazuli!"
Shen Jin plans to take people to Afghanistan to completely solve the lapis lazuli material problem.
Maintaining his entire [Advanced Industry] progress will not be blocked by this material.
"Wait a moment!"
Wellside spoke, and he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Kenny, it's difficult for Shenji to make this deal with you!"
"Huh? What are you talking about, Mr. Jingbian? We have already agreed that Afghans can give you the materials you want at any time!"
The old man at the well had a troubled look on his face: "But... China is unwilling to befriend Shen Ji and hides its technology. We cannot agree to this. If you choose to trade with China, it means you will lose your friend Shen Ji!"
Shen Jin: “???”
Shenji won't let the Afghans sell him materials, a classic choice between two options.
Kenny said a few more Tai Chi words, but Jingbian's attitude was firm. It was as if he would not give Tianluodiwang any convenience if China did not give him any convenience. He really deserved a beating!
Hu Shou said in the internal voice: "Then forget it, call Kenny later!"
"Huh? That's right!"
Since there are people obstructing us at the negotiation table, let's talk about it after we get off the table.
"Well, it seems we can only cooperate next time, Mr. Kenny," Shen Jin ended his speech "regrettably."
Kenny and Jingbian reached an agreement that the Divine Assembly would send three bottles of potion to Afghanistan. He only needed to find a peak-level second-level transcendent and have him take one bottle every two weeks. After a month and a half, Afghanistan would have his first third-level transcendent.
There were also 9 small countries that received this potion, and they were all grateful to Shen Ji.
After these 10 bottles of medicine were sold, other countries traded some things with each other. Not only the physical contents, but also many research reports on energetics. Kong Long and Yang Tianyao asked for several experimental data from other countries as references for their experiments.
After the meeting, Shen Jin waited for a while and received the contact information sent by Kong Long. He called Kenny and said, "I am Shen Jin from China's Tianluodiwang. Perhaps we can continue to discuss the transaction of [Lapis Lazuli]..."
Kenny said awkwardly: "I'm really sorry, we have signed a network agreement with Shenji, and we are not allowed to do any transactions with China within one month after completing the transaction. I'm really sorry, maybe we will have a chance to cooperate next month!"
"Can Shen Ji still control you? Isn't it okay if he doesn't know?"
Kenny said: "Afghanistan is a country that values the spirit of contract. I am really sorry..."
The satellite communication was disconnected.
Shen Jin fell into deep thought. This Afghan... he didn't want to play with him!
Are there still such honest people in the last days?
That's strange.
…
On the other side, Kenny sat in his office on the top floor of the Extraordinary Research Institute. He took a sip of coffee, and after a few seconds of sweetness, he took a deep breath of comfort. "There is nothing more delicious than coffee in the world. If there is no coffee, I would rather die..."
"Shenji and Huaguo had better fight harder, so that we have a chance to rise!"
At this time, he looked at the screen of the satellite communication device. Before Shen Jin's call, it was a call from Shen Ji's people, "Just for the sake of a bet, I got two copies of the Susanoo Eye... Afghanistan is about to produce two third-level extraordinary people!"
He rolled his eyes and said, "But... is Shen Ji's medicine really that strong? No, let's have those old guys in the laboratory test it first!"
One is to see if it is poisonous, and the other is to see if it can be copied if it works well.
As a result, Shen Jin's [Lapis Lazuli] resources were stuck in a deadlock. He said viciously: "Wait until Q City is recovered, and then go to Afghanistan! If you don't trade with me, I will take it myself!"
…
Memories flashed through Shen Jin's eyes like flowing water. "Now that the big orange has been decided, it's time to go abroad. In addition to [lapis lazuli], there is another crucial material, otherwise the quantum suit still cannot be made..."
