Chapter 785 - 758: Green
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
The third day, Chen Shouyi’s villa.
Bai Xiaoling hung up the satellite phone and walked over quickly: "General Manager Chen, it’s almost time."
"Then let’s set off."
Chen Shouyi said, getting up from the sofa.
A row of luxurious car convoy was already waiting on the road outside.
When traveling, the style should still be maintained. You can’t just ride a bicycle or take a bus there; that’s not casual, it’s reckless.
Moreover, after these cars are sent to the airport, they won’t just turn around and go back; instead, they’ll be loaded onto a transport plane and depart with the visiting delegation as a means of transportation in Ba Country.
This visit is not as shabby as the last European Union visit, where there was only a lonely single aircraft.
This time the lineup is rather large.
The entire fleet includes two passenger planes, two transport planes, and in addition, a squadron of the most advanced fighter jets of Great Xia Country for escort, as well as a helicopter squadron that has already arrived in advance.
In a sense, this was also to flaunt the power of the current strongest nation in front of the Barbarian God.
...
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
...
The heavy car doors closed one after another.
As soon as Chen Shouyi got into the car, the convoy immediately set off.
Noticing Bai Xiaoling beside him clenching her fists secretly, Chen Shouyi smiled and said, "Nervous?"
"N... No." Bai Xiaoling was a bit embarrassed at first, but then honestly said: "A little, I haven’t seen the Barbarian God in person yet."
This time she would also follow, after all, besides his family, she was the one who knew Chen Shouyi the best, having been by his side since his humble beginnings as his secretary.
With her presence, communication became much easier.
"It’s just like that, I advise you not to expect too much. What you’ll see then is just an avatar, not the real form for sure." Chen Shouyi said.
Bai Xiaoling: ...
She secretly reflected, was there an implication of expectation in my words earlier?
Who would want to see the real form of the Barbarian God?
Seriously tired of living?
Back in Hedong, countless people were frightened to death by the oppressive presence of the Barbarian God.
However, she could only silently complain in her heart. With Chen Shouyi’s increasing power and influence, akin to a living deity, even she dared not speak casually now.
The car fell silent.
Chen Shouyi looked out the window.
The new snowfall from yesterday dyed the whole world white; only a few factories on either side of the industrial area were still emitting smoke. Steam engines were being phased out, replaced by electricity.
...
At seven o’clock, Chen Shouyi arrived at the airport.
After shaking hands one by one with Deputy Minister Fang Xiangqian and several government officials, he boarded the plane surrounded by the crowd.
Chen Shouyi noticed that many here were the same entourage from the last European visit.
However, this time, no one asked him for an autograph anymore, which relieved him but also left him feeling a little lost, as if something was missing.
Perhaps, what was missing was intimacy.
And what increased was reverence.
This is the price of strength.
Life is fair; what you gain, you will lose something else!
Some can bear this price, while others cannot.
"Today is a rare good weather, most areas are sunny, unlike a few days ago when the south still had a blizzard." Fang Xiangqian, feeling the inexplicable low pressure, tried to make conversation.
"It’s pretty nice." Chen Shouyi replied perfunctorily.
"Yeah!" Fang Xiangqian replied awkwardly, remembering the recent miraculous event in the newspapers where General Manager Chen waved his hand and dispersed the clouds, and his face turned somewhat sheepish.
As long as the other party wanted, what kind of weather couldn’t they have?
That was such a poor choice of words.
It’s like asking an elephant if it has eaten, like a dung beetle.
"General Manager Chen, you’re well-informed, why not tell us about the nearby Barbarian Gods, let us broaden our horizons." Fang Xiangqian quickly tried to salvage the situation.
Everyone couldn’t help but perk their ears up; this kind of information is like a taboo for ordinary people, carrying an inexplicable thrill.
"There’s nothing much to say." Chen Shouyi showed interest upon hearing this but feigned indifference.
"General Manager Chen, please tell us." Bai Xiaoling chimed in playfully.
"Alright." Chen Shouyi said helplessly.
"Besides the recently killed God of Power, there are still four nearby Barbarian Gods left, and I’ve only interacted with two.
One is the God of Conspiracy and Enchantment, the other is the God of Fertility.
The God of Conspiracy is a fence-sitter, siding with whoever is stronger. Don’t be fooled by its current obedience; it might cause trouble at any moment."
A staff member responsible for intelligence immediately took out a notebook and began to record.
Although it was just offhand remarks from General Manager Chen during a chat, for the country, it’s important information about the Barbarian God.
"After all, it’s the God of Conspiracy and Enchantment, right?" Fang Xiangqian laughed: "Don’t you think it’s strange how they use such names, isn’t it clearly telling others not to trust them?"
Everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
"This is their divine position. To the God of Conspiracy and Enchantment, conspiracy and enchantment are their sacred path, their duty. It’s divine, it’s supreme, and trying to understand the Barbarian God with human ideas, morals, or thoughts is meaningless." Chen Shouyi said seriously.
Many instantly restrained their laughter, and some began to ponder in their hearts.
"Really insightful, what about the God of Fertility then?" Fang Xiangqian asked curiously.
Uh...
Chen Shouyi paused.
The God of Fertility was not an honest Barbarian God either; not only had it secretly spread its faith in Great Xia Country, but even he had suffered twice from being careless.
By comparison, the God of Conspiracy and Enchantment seemed much more harmless.
After all, he had never suffered a loss against the God of Conspiracy and Enchantment.
"I haven’t interacted much with the God of Fertility, hard to say, only know it’s related to strength and fertility." Chen Shouyi said, slightly uncomfortable.
"General Manager Chen, does the God of Fertility have many offspring?" Bai Xiaoling asked thoughtlessly.
"How would I know?" Chen Shouyi said speechlessly.
Thinking, probably not, right?
But recalling the divine position of the God of Fertility and the culture of her realm...
Wait, why am I thinking about these, no matter how many are born, it has nothing to do with me.
...
"So green!"
"All green."
The fleet flew for five hours, arriving at noon, and crossed Ba Country’s border. Everyone noticed the difference; the whole land was lush, as if stepping from winter straight into spring.
"Seven or eight years ago when I came to Ba Country, I remember from the sky, Ba Country was all desert, now there’s not even a speck of yellow to be seen." Fang Xiangqian said with great emotion, secretly astonished by the power of the Barbarian God.
Unfortunately, such a vast land is just left to go to waste.
If it were cultivated and all planted with food crops, it would greatly alleviate Great Xia Country’s food problem.
