30: Chapter 30: The Third Partner – A Heiress Brings Her Own Investment to the Cast!

"Mr. President, news from Wall Street: the US Dollar Index has fallen below its all-time low! pangu coin is replacing the US dollar as the world's primary settlement currency with unstoppable momentum!"

Inside The White House underground command center, the atmosphere was no longer oppressive, but one of absolute despair.

The intelligence officer's voice was hoarse, thick with tears.

After the PRISM Project scandal was exposed via global live broadcast, the international credibility of the United States had completely collapsed.

A global wave of US dollar sell-offs swept in, and the already precarious financial system instantly disintegrated.

The President's eyes were vacant; he slumped powerlessly in his chair, his lips trembling slightly, unable to utter a single word.

Military, technology, finance, public opinion... all the hegemonies he took pride in were being shattered one by one by Lin Yun's "black technology," as easily as dry wood snapping.

The United States, once the world hegemon, was falling from its pedestal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What... what else can we do?" the Secretary of Defense's voice trembled, his eyes filled with despair.

The aircraft carrier fleets they once took pride in were like toys in the face of exoskeleton soldiers and drones.

Their top special forces were being unilaterally slaughtered.

Their chip industry had been crushed, their financial hegemony dismantled, and even their cybersecurity had become Lin Yun's backyard.

"Mr. President, countries around the world are now lining up to establish a 'pangu coin' settlement system with the Dragon Kingdom, and even some traditional allies are beginning to lean towards the Dragon Kingdom."

The National Security Advisor's face was pale, his voice tinged with bitterness.

"What they want is the Dragon Kingdom's 'Pangu Chip,' its 'lithium-air batteries,' its 'Shenwei exoskeleton'—the black technology that can change their nation's future."

He paused, his tone carrying a hint of unspeakable humiliation: "Some countries have even begun secretly contacting the Dragon Kingdom, expressing their willingness to provide all resources, just to secure... 'cooperation' with Comrade Lin Yun."

The President looked up abruptly, a flash of disbelief and anger in his eyes.

Cooperation?

The cooperation he envisioned meant coercion through military force and intimidation through sanctions.

But Lin Yun's "cooperation" used disruptive technology to attract the world to come knocking on his door voluntarily!

He felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in the capital, inside Lin Yun's villa, it was a completely different scene.

"Comrade Lin Yun, your 'Truth and Justice' move is absolutely brilliant!" Elder Chen said excitedly.

Watching the news on the screen about countries around the world scrambling to sign 'pangu coin' settlement agreements with the Dragon Kingdom, his face was overflowing with pride and excitement.

The collapse of the US dollar hegemony had been the dream of generations in the Dragon Kingdom; now, in Lin Yun's hands, it had been achieved with ease.

Lin Yun just smiled faintly, picked up his teacup, and took a gentle sip.

He knew this was just a small test for the "Chaos Hacker Network."

Its true power went far beyond this.

"Elder Chen, since the whole world is now leaning towards our Dragon Kingdom, the 'Pangu Project' should also accelerate its pace."

Lin Yun put down his teacup and looked at Elder Chen, his eyes carrying a hint of deep meaning.

Elder Chen was taken aback, then immediately understood what Lin Yun meant.

He knew Lin Yun was talking about the issue of "cooperation partners."

The S-rank offspring of Qin Zihan and Nightingale had already been born, but the goal of the 'Pangu Project' was to continuously cultivate future talents with S-rank potential to support the rapid development of the Dragon Kingdom's future technology and civilization.

"Comrade Lin Yun, I have already screened some excellent candidates."

Elder Chen took a document out of the briefcase he was carrying and handed it to Lin Yun.

"These are all top talents from various fields domestically, with excellent genes and reliable loyalty..."

Lin Yun took the document but didn't open it immediately.

He looked out the window at the capital's night sky, where the stars were brilliant.

He knew that the world's eyes were now focused on the Dragon Kingdom, focused on him.

To obtain more resources, a broader platform, and even more diverse S-rank offspring, relying solely on domestic resources was already far from enough.

"Elder Chen, I need a 'cooperation partner' who can spread the influence of the 'Pangu Project' globally, and even attract the world's top resources and talents," Lin Yun said softly.

"One who can drive global capital to voluntarily throw itself into our Dragon Kingdom's embrace."

Elder Chen was stunned, then fell into deep thought.

He understood Lin Yun's meaning.

This wasn't just about finding an excellent woman; it was about finding a partner who could provide strategic help to the 'Pangu Project' on a global scale.

Just then, Secretary Xiao Zhang walked in in a hurry.

"Report to Elder Chen, Mr. Pangu!"

Xiao Zhang's voice carried a hint of excitement.

"The eldest daughter of the R Country's Mitsui Group, Mitsui Reiko, has personally come to the capital!"

"She hopes to meet with Comrade Lin Yun, expressing her willingness to invest an unlimited amount of funding—up to a hundred billion US dollars—into the 'Pangu Project,' and is willing to provide all of the Mitsui Group's global resources!"

"What?!"

Elder Chen stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

The Mitsui Group was one of the largest chaebols in R Country and held significant influence globally.

A hundred billion US dollars in unlimited funding—this was simply an astronomical figure!

Lin Yun just smiled faintly.

He looked at Elder Chen, his eyes flashing with a playful light.

"Elder Chen, it seems my third 'cooperation partner' has come to me on her own."

He picked up the document Elder Chen had handed him earlier and set it aside casually.

"This one can be put aside for now."

Elder Chen's heart skipped a beat.

He looked at Lin Yun, then at Xiao Zhang, his eyes filled with fervor.

He knew that Lin Yun was going to push the 'Pangu Project' to be completely globalized!

"Mitsui Reiko?"

Lin Yun softly recited the name, the corners of his mouth curling into a playful arc.

He knew that this chaebol heiress wasn't just bringing huge amounts of capital and resources; what she represented would be the global top-tier capital's desire for the Dragon Kingdom's black technology, as well as the pursuit of changing the future world order.

Lin Yun was suddenly filled with anticipation.

What kind of "miracle" would this heiress from a top-tier chaebol give birth to for him and for the Dragon Kingdom?

He knew that the genes of a chaebol often represented extreme intelligence, control, and a unique sensitivity to wealth and power.

This might bring a brand-new type of "S-rank potential" to the 'Pangu Project'!

"Xiao Zhang, make arrangements immediately."

"I want to meet this Mitsui heiress."

Lin Yun said softly.

He looked out the window; the lights of the capital, at this moment, seemed more brilliant and dazzling than ever before.

He knew that the door to a new world was being pushed open by his own hands!

And this global transformation led by Lin Yun was about to usher in a brand-new chapter because of this chaebol heiress's joining!

He had a premonition that this would be a "cooperation" that was more complex, yet also more thrilling, than any that had come before!
