Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 696 - 402, World Core_2

The sound of water splashing echoed.

His girlfriend's scream came through: "Oppa, there seems to be something in the toilet!"

A minute later.

Cui Donghao looked on in shock as a strange object, seemingly formed of frost, grew out of the toilet.

The most magical part was that pouring a cup of hot water on it would make it appear.

Once the water drained away, it would disappear again.

Cui Donghao suddenly had an idea and instructed his girlfriend: "Use your phone to shoot a video and upload it online."

His girlfriend responded with an "Oh."

Although the city had lost power, the signal tower near the villa area was still operational, allowing the phone to make calls and access the internet.

Quickly.

The video was shot and uploaded to the largest video website in the Dongli Kingdom.

The video had an eye-catching title — Shock! A Magical Object Has Grown in Our Toilet!

The striking title, along with the unbelievable phenomenon, immediately caused the video to go viral.

Watching the views skyrocket, Cui Donghao smiled smugly: "Official rescue should be coming soon."

His girlfriend now understood the purpose of the video, nodding enthusiastically: "Yes."

Cui Donghao's expression turned grim again, as if moody: "Dammit, when Great Xia people face a disaster, they don't have to do anything, and rescue teams will show up. Meanwhile, we have to find ways to make a video to catch the officials' attention."

His girlfriend cursed alongside him: "This damn country!"

Ten minutes later.

Ji Borui, a mid-level researcher at the Great Xia Superpower Research Institute, logged into a relatively niche forum.

This was a forum organized spontaneously by a group of supernatural enthusiasts, with not many users and quite a few professionals.

The viral video from the Dongli Kingdom was swiftly shared by a user on the forum, with many expressing astonishment in the replies, and even more tagging the forum's experts, asking what this was.

Ji Borui was one of those experts.

He opened the video post and replied in a deliberately dismissive tone: "Dongli people really lack insight. Isn't it just Frost Ganoderma? However, this is indeed a good thing and greatly beneficial to the soul, very valuable. I didn't expect such a good thing to be born in the disaster area."

Ji Borui's reply quickly grabbed attention.

Many people left comments below the post.

"Amazing expert!"

"The expert really knows everything."

"Can the expert explain further?"

Ji Borui ignored all of them.

He watched the computer clock, and three minutes later, clicked the mouse a few times and deleted the reply he had just made.

Ji Borui picked up a secure phone and sent a message: "Task completed."

He knew that some foreign users were lurking on the forum.

Since Great Xia is a prominent figure in the supernatural domain, intelligence officers from countries worldwide closely monitor the Great Xia network, doing their utmost to gather information.

This niche forum had quite a few professionals, making it a key focus for intelligence officers.

Tianfu Province, Xiuzhu City.

Wen Zehan watched Ji Borui from afar, nodding with satisfaction: "The news of the Frost Ganoderma has been leaked. The Carmenians should be taking action, right?"

Cui Donghao's "accidental" discovery of Frost Ganoderma in his toilet was anything but a coincidence; it was a carefully arranged play.

There was no other way.

If they proactively told the Dongli people that good things would be born in the frost disaster area, the Dongli people would definitely be suspicious, thinking the Great Xia people were playing tricks.

By pretending to carelessly leak the news like this, the other side would believe it entirely and even feel like they got a bargain from Great Xia.

This is human nature.

Wen Zehan immediately gathered the Satellite Star Power to monitor Hanlai Base from afar.

Carmenia had established multiple military bases in the Dongli Kingdom, and Hanlai Base was the largest, located near the Dongli capital, Han Guang City.

Not long after.

He saw the hangar doors of the helicopter open, and several helicopters were pulled out.

A group of superpower users, dressed in cold resistant suits, quickly boarded the helicopters.

The rotors began to spin rapidly, and the helicopters took off swiftly, heading towards Guangren City.

Wen Zehan smiled immediately: "Finally bit the bait."

From the moment the news was leaked to the deployment of the Carmenia superpower users, it took less than a quarter of an hour, a testament to their efficiency.

From this speed, it's clear why the Carmenia Federation has dominated Canglan Star for so many years, with military bases spread worldwide. It's not without reason.

Wen Zehan didn't forget to send a message to Yang Fan: "Mr. Ghost, the Carmenians have started to move."

"Good!"

Yang Fan responded.

At that time, he was in the west district of Guangren City, observing a factory from a distance.

With the advent of the Age of Calamity, global industries had been severely impacted, and the Dongli Kingdom was no exception.

The factories in that country had been shutting down consecutively, one reason being supply chain issues, another being the decline in world population and consumption leading to decreased demand. Another reason was the strong competition from Great Xia.

Great Xia is the only country in the world whose industry didn't decline but instead expanded against the trend.

The remaining industries in the Dongli Kingdom are mainly electronics manufacturing, shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing, and military industries.

Many of these industries are already teetering on the edge.

Because Great Xia has undergone a technological explosion, various black technologies have emerged one after another, producing many jaw-dropping products.
