501: Chapter 500 Overseas People Whose Faith Was Shattered
Meanwhile, countless overseas citizens who witnessed this sci-fi Spring Festival Gala through various channels are experiencing a total collapse of their faith.
Following the initial shock and skepticism, it was quickly replaced by a more complex emotion—a breakdown mixed with envy, jealousy, and endless regret.
United Kingdom netizens: "OH MY GOD!! What kind of magic is this?? Why have we never even heard of these things???"
France netizens: "The Azure Dragon Supplement that can cure the crazy laughter disease, and can also make people like Superman—why can only people of China use it?!! This is racial discrimination!!!..."
Germany netizens: "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!! Our politicians spend trillions of dollars building aircraft carriers and fighter jets, only to be smashed to pieces by a single shot! Meanwhile, China's government is distributing sci-fi equipment to its people, taking them to the moon, taking them into virtual worlds, and even taking them to space cities!!!..."
Italy netizens: "Nanke Dreamscape?? My God!! If this is real, I would pay any price to enter that world!! Why can only people of China who purchased their Exoskeleton Armor enter?!! Why don't we have the eligibility to purchase!!!..."
North America netizens: "That Exoskeleton Armor is way more awesome than Iron Man's suit! China is actually going to distribute a set to every citizen! And the cheapest one is only three thousand Eagle currency?!! Unfair! This is so unfair! Technology should be the wealth of all mankind, why should China monopolize it!!!..."
The public in various overseas countries was thoroughly shattered, both mentally and in their faith.
If China had only defeated them with superior military force, they might still refuse to accept it, still harbor illusions, thinking it was just that their weapons were inferior.
But now, what do they see? They see a more advanced human civilization, undergoing a total technological leap in a way they cannot understand or even imagine.
That is not a simple technological lead; it is a generational gap in the form of existence.
While they are still worrying about monthly bills of a few thousand, people of China are already discussing what new custom configurations they want to add to their Exoskeleton Armor.
While their children are still struggling with high tuition fees, children of China are already able to touch the stars in the universe with their own hands in a 100% realistic virtual world, crazily absorbing knowledge in the vast sea of learning.
While they are still calculating property taxes for their dilapidated mansions, people of China are already planning which space city orbiting the Earth they will live in the future.
The impact brought by such a contrast is absolutely devastating!
Especially when they confirmed through various channels that these technological achievements are currently only open to citizens of China, feelings of jealousy and anger spread like a virus across the internet in the Western world.
Countless people swarmed the overseas accounts of China's major official media, frantically flooding the screen with protests. But soon, they discovered that such protests were so pale and powerless.
Under those protest comments, a comment with a completely different style was soon pushed to the top as a hot comment.
"What's the use of protesting?? Instead of wasting time on this, you'd be better off looking up how to obtain citizenship of China!!!"
