Chapter 419 -394: Xuanfeng Alliance to Make Mobile Phones

The Beautiful Country.

Kaido had been extremely frustrated lately. He’d failed at another blind date because of his nearsightedness—or rather, he’d been rejected the moment they met.

It was really awkward.

How did wearing glasses get associated with being a creep?

But what could he do?

His job was the problem. He was a professional gamer, and his club had him training for seven or eight hours every day.

Staring at a computer all day was incredibly damaging to his eyes.

The thing was, he wasn’t one of those super famous players who could afford to spend a fortune protecting their eyes.

And the glasses from Yigui Road were just too damn expensive.

Blood-sucking capitalists.

“Kaido, are you still picking out glasses?” a teammate asked, walking over curiously.

Kaido nodded. “Yeah, my prescription got stronger again.”

His teammate smiled. “Then why haven’t you checked out the latest news that’s going around?”

Kaido gave his teammate a confused look but logged onto the website he mentioned anyway.

When he saw a very conspicuous headline on the site, an incredulous expression appeared on his face.

“The Xuanfeng Alliance has released a new product that can quickly restore your vision. No surgery, no pain—all it takes is a single bottle of medicine wine.”

Watching the news video, Kaido found it truly unbelievable. “Is this for real? How could a product like this even exist?”

His teammate nodded. “It must be. That capitalist Bowens was practically crying with desperation to secure a partnership.”

“If it weren’t real, why would the chairman of the world’s leading eyewear company act like that?”

Kaido, of course, knew who Bowens was—the chairman of Yigui Road, that damn capitalist.

Indeed.

If the product didn’t work, that capitalist certainly wouldn’t be acting this way.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Kaido immediately started looking into how to buy the Xuanfeng Medicine Wine.

And it wasn’t just Kaido. Countless nearsighted people all over the world were doing the same thing.

In a short time, an uncountable number of orders for Xuanfeng Medicine Wine had been placed online.

In any case, the first batch allocated to the various global eyewear companies was definitely not going to be enough.

This response truly stunned Bowens and the other eyewear company bosses.

Honestly, if they had chosen to fight back instead of agreeing to the Xuanfeng Alliance’s domineering terms and partnering with them…

…then with the methods the Alliance was using now, even their own distribution channels would have been quickly crushed. The losses would have been catastrophic.

Naturally, reports on the global situation were quickly compiled and sent to Yasna.

This brought a smile to Yasna’s face.

It was just as Baguda had said: the products the Governor came up with were basically unstoppable.

…

Lu Feng, however, wasn’t paying any more attention to the Xuanfeng Medicine Wine.

He had already entered the game.

Baguda had told him earlier that the Xuanfeng Alliance’s economy was doing very well, and that it had absorbed most of the population of Myanmar. What it lacked now was high-tech expertise.

To be seen as truly prosperous and powerful on the international stage, high technology had always been the most crucial evaluation metric, alongside economy, weaponry, and population.

So, after some thought, he decided to get some high-end technology for the Xuanfeng Alliance first.

As soon as he entered the game, he headed for the research department, which was set up in the East Suburb Fortress.

The research department was a hive of activity.

Everyone was hard at work, their heads bowed over their tasks.

These people were all high-tech talents from before the apocalypse, or top students who had been studying in tech fields.

Although they didn’t know why their boss wanted them to crack pre-apocalyptic technology, they did know one thing: there were rewards for results.

Besides, here in the Qingfeng Base, it was a job that gave them security and a place to belong.

So, every one of them was extremely dedicated, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

When Lu Feng came in, the twin sisters, Cheng Sisi and Cheng Yaoyao, immediately rose to greet him respectfully.

“Boss!”

“Boss, what brings you here?”

After the two girls had taken the Beastification Crystal Core, their lingering pointed ears and cute little tails were certainly giving them more and more of a non-human, moe-girl vibe.

Lu Feng stated his purpose, asking the two girls, “Sisi, Yaoyao, have you guys cracked any high-tech stuff? It doesn’t have to be too advanced, something from about 50 years ago would be fine.”

The sisters had always been puzzled as to why their boss wanted those old, outdated technologies.

But they weren’t foolish enough to ask, nor did they need to.

Hearing her boss’s question, Cheng Sisi replied, “Boss, we do have two technologies like that right now. One is for mobile phones, and the other is for cars. Would you like to take a look?”

Lu Feng nodded. “Bring me the data to look at.”

The two sisters went to the archives, took out the data disks containing the two technologies, and played them for Lu Feng.

Lu Feng could clearly see the content being played from the data disks.

Indeed, the two technologies the sisters mentioned were far more advanced than the real world’s current mobile phone and automotive technologies.

If these two products were brought out, they would be ahead of similar products globally for quite some time.

Lu Feng thought for a moment and decided to take the mobile phone technology.

The limitations of the automotive technology were too great. It would require building specialized factories, and various materials would certainly have to be imported from abroad—and in large quantities.

This would undoubtedly leave them vulnerable to being strangled by other countries.

The Xuanfeng Alliance itself had too few of these materials; some, it might not have at all.

The mobile phone technology was different, however.

Although some materials would still need to be imported, the potential for being restricted wouldn’t be as severe. If worse came to worst, he could always choose to cooperate with the Dragon Country.

The Dragon Country’s mobile phone companies still had many limitations, even technological flaws. The phone technology he was taking out of the game world would have an even greater advantage.

But cooperating with the Dragon Country would be relatively simple. As long as the Xuanfeng Alliance showed a little goodwill, it could easily get open cooperation on certain matters in return.

This was something the Beautiful Country couldn’t compare to.

In the current political climate of Asia and Europe, the Dragon Country would surely want the Xuanfeng Alliance to follow its lead to some extent.

As someone from the Dragon Country himself, he was very confident about this.

After having Cheng Sisi transfer the mobile phone technology to the storage disk he had brought with him, he left the research department. He then checked in with Lin Jiao to get an update on a few things before exiting the game with a single thought.

Back at Wind Manor, he made a call and summoned Baguda.

“His Excellency the Governor, what are your orders?” Baguda asked respectfully as soon as he arrived.

Lu Feng got straight to the point. “Baguda, about the high-tech matter you mentioned before—how is the talent search coming along?”

Baguda answered immediately. “His Excellency the Governor, we have recruited some talented individuals. A few have already passed the vetting process, are deemed trustworthy, and have been granted citizenship in the Xuanfeng Alliance. We have begun preparing a high-tech laboratory for them to start working in.”

Lu Feng immediately asked, “Are there any experts in mobile phone manufacturing?”

Baguda said in surprise, “His Excellency the Governor, we do have some people with expertise in mobile phones. However, their abilities are limited. If you want them to research some new high-tech phone, they don’t have that kind of skill. At best, they can only copy existing designs. If you give them a ready-made phone technology, they might be able to produce it.”

“That’s enough,” Lu Feng commanded at once. “Baguda, gather these people. I want to meet them.”

Baguda froze for a second when he heard Lu Feng’s words. Then, as realization dawned, a look of disbelief crossed his face.

‘Does the Governor mean he has a ready-made phone technology?’

He knew the Governor. Although he didn’t know where he got his miraculous technologies, the products the Governor produced were always incredibly powerful, far surpassing those of any other country.

He had only fantasized that the Governor might be able to produce some high-tech as well. He never imagined the Governor would actually pull out mobile phone technology.

And he did it so casually!
