49: Chapter 49 Su Family Head's Online Shopping Agent: This is just loose stuff thrown away by a big shot!

On the other side of Blue Star, the highest strategic center of the Beacon Country.

On the massive holographic screen, crimson announcements from the Demon Realm World channel were scrolling in a loop.

The entries about Qingfeng solo-killing a level 200 fully-formed god and obtaining a four-colored supreme treasure dominated the entire page.

Inside the conference room, the atmosphere was suffocatingly oppressive.

The Supreme Commander Wilson had veins bulging wildly on his forehead, and with one punch, he smashed a horrifying crater into the alloy conference table in front of him.

"Have you found out the real-world identity of this Qingfeng?" He scanned his surroundings, his gaze sinister.

The intelligence director was wiping away cold sweat frantically, reporting tremblingly, "The other party has extremely high clearance; China has directly placed a physical-level top-secret blockade on it, and our people simply cannot infiltrate."

Wilson gritted his teeth tightly.

The Beacon Country had been able to maintain its position as the world hegemon for decades by relying on the sheer number of top-tier Awakened and the monopoly of resources.

Now that a monster with combat power that far outstripped everyone else had suddenly popped up in China, this was an attempt to flip the table!

"Immediately contact the Western European Allied Forces, the Germanic Federation, the Fusang Country, and Goryeo!"

Wilson gave the order viciously, "Launch the highest-level resource embargo plan, block all cross-border dungeon trading channels, and raise tariff barriers to the maximum!"

"We must completely cut off China's reserve of Awakened from the level of foundational resources!"

The vassal states that usually followed the Beacon Country's lead had already convened a remote video conference at this moment, all expressing their commitment to follow suit.

Even several federal empires that had always claimed to be neutral chose to play deaf and dumb.

A net of encirclement targeting China was instantly unfurled.

But just at this moment, the conference room door was violently pushed open, and the Economic Commander rushed in, looking utterly exasperated.

"Commander, the sanctions haven't even been issued yet, and the head of the Su Family, Su Jingxuan, has already dumped a large batch of fourth-turn divine crystallization on the overseas black market! The quantity is as high as several thousand!"

Wilson's eyes lit up, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, "We will take all of this stock! No matter how much it costs, get it all!"

"But..." the Economic Commander's voice trembled, "He is asking for ten times the international market price."

"Ten times? Why doesn't he just rob us openly?!" Wilson almost jumped up.

"People from Britain and France have already rushed over with funds to make contact! Commander, we have over sixty thousand Awakened in our country stuck at the fourth turn, all of whom are in urgent need of this batch of materials to break through. We can't afford to delay any longer!"

The Economic Commander swallowed hard and stated the cruel reality, "Without this batch of goods, they won't be able to break through within two years. Meanwhile, in China, with this foundation, they could mass-produce fourth-turn legions at any time!"

Wilson's chest heaved violently, and he panted heavily.

If he bought it, the national treasury would suffer a massive hemorrhage, and they would be absolute suckers.

If he didn't buy it, it wouldn't be long before our country's high-level combat power would be completely left behind by Britain and France, and the status of world hegemon would inevitably suffer a serious impact.

"Buy it! At his price, swallow it all up!"

Wilson squeezed these words out through his teeth.

The sanctions order died in the cradle.

One moment they were preparing to suppress them forcefully, and the next they had to obsequiously send them money. This feeling of being held down and bled dry by someone else caused all the high-ranking generals present to collectively break down.

...

At the same time, news traveled back to China, and the entire internet fell into unprecedented fanaticism.

The top search lists of major forums at home and abroad had been completely flooded with the same event.

"Family, who gets it! The Su Family did such a beautiful job this time! A ten-fold premium to ruthlessly squeeze the foreign devils, specializing in curing all kinds of arrogance—it's truly satisfying!"

"I heard that the Beacon Country, in order to snatch it, directly raised the price to fifteen times just to force an interception from other countries' hands."

"Hahaha, hilarious. These people sanction this and sanction that every day, but in the end, they became the biggest suckers themselves."

"Just saw the news, Family Head Su Jingxuan spoke up personally—this batch of goods isn't the Su Family's foundation at all; it's all just loose goods tossed out by the big shot Qingfeng, and the Su Family is just an agent!"

"Holy crap, what kind of sacred being is the big shot Qingfeng? Supporting a country's fourth-turn combat power with his own strength?"

"Oh my god, you don't even know the big shot Qingfeng? Just killed a four-colored supreme treasure, insta-killed a level 200 fully-formed god, everyone in the country knows, and you actually don't know?"

"Don't bother searching, I just went into the game wanting to cling to his leg, and he set it to reject all server messages. Hundreds of top guilds are lining up with sky-high checks, and they can't even smell the big shot's exhaust fumes!"

"Nonsense, does a god-like figure like him care about your pocket change? Even Old General Zhang Changlin personally endorsed him; this is our China's only dimension-reduction-level thigh to cling to!"

...

The domestic public's worship of Jiang Feng skyrocketed to the point of near-belief at this moment.

Such a grand occasion had not been seen for years, and the reverence was no less than that for the founding emperors of China.

Major media outlets were filled with reports about "Qingfeng," and internet forums even specially opened a "God Feng Section."

Meanwhile, in the Demon Realm World, at the place where the god Cangyuan fell.

Jiang Feng was completely unaware of this, and even less could he imagine that he had long been placed on a pedestal in the real world.

He had just finished organizing the mountain of supreme treasures in his backpack and was preparing to push for level 120, when Jiang Shuyun's cross-channel communication popped up directly.

"Jiang Feng, have you seen the trending searches in reality? That 15-fold premium Su Jingxuan used to sell to the international black market scammed the Beacon Country's top brass so hard they don't even have their underwear left."

Jiang Shuyun's voice revealed undisguised excitement, "This Su old man even publicly said the goods were taken from you. Your name has spread completely across the entire web; now it's absolutely known to the entire server."

"I really didn't know, I was busy just now." Jiang Feng's tone was flat.

"Su Jingxuan is much better at doing business than I am. I originally thought a three-fold premium was the limit, but compared to him, I am the most conservative one." He replied casually.

On the other end of the communication, Jiang Shuyun's laughter was crisp, her eyes and brows filled with undisguised joy, "Most of the funds from the domestic chambers of commerce have arrived. If you have any stock on hand, the domestic market can completely absorb it."

"As long as it can make money, that's fine. Then I'll just hoard some more; if the domestic market can't finish it, I'll just toss it abroad to trade for resources."

For the current Jiang Feng, money was nothing more than a string of numbers; what was truly useful was the absolute right to speak brought about by the monopoly.

Jiang Feng knew very well that as long as his production capacity was sufficient, even promoting the great rejuvenation of China would not be a problem at all.

But what was most important for him now was to kill more monsters, explode attributes, and constantly improve himself.

After all, to forge iron, one must be strong oneself.

Jiang Shuyun spoke extremely fast, throwing out a bombshell proposal, "If you still have the energy, I suggest you go straight to get the 'star-glow crystals' for the fifth turn."

"Fifth turn?"

"Yes. Currently, the top combat power of countries around the world is actually stuck firmly at the peak of the fourth turn." Jiang Shuyun explained in detail.

"Many high-level players have clearly grinded to level 200, but they absolutely cannot pass the fifth-turn mission at level 180, just because they can't get the star-glow crystals."

"The maps that drop the crystals are all forbidden Jedi areas above level 180. Not to mention the monster attributes are perverted, the drop rate is also disgustingly low. Even if dozens of level 200 players team up to grind, they might not necessarily get one in a month."
