He expressed that he would certainly not let down the expectations of the entire internet, the trust of the motherland, or the beautiful home that Lin Xian had brought him—

"I will keep defending this small island! Until... the very last moment of my life!"

After a few brief words, Lin Xian and the Island Keeper Grandpa ended the video call. By now, the connection with the second lucky viewer had concluded.

The netizens came back to their senses, reflecting on everything that had just happened... they were truly filled with emotion:

"The pure and kind look in the old man's eyes really touched us! If it weren't for watching Lin Xian's livestream today... I truly couldn't have imagined that in a corner of our Dragon Country's border... there was still someone living this life of an Island Defender, day after day for decades... and continuing to do so! I think when we have time, we really should go to that small island to visit the old man! Even if it's just to bring him some fruit or keep him company for a chat..."

"Yes, indeed. He has lived on the island for over eighty years. In the early years, he still had the company of his parents. But... for the decades since his parents passed away, only the ocean waves have kept him company in his solitude on this small island. He must be so lonely. And farming has been his spiritual pillar and faith for all these years. Don't worry, Grandpa... your place will definitely be bustling with visitors in the future! We will join you in farming!"

"Hahahaha, I think everyone is overthinking it! Do you really think the country would let such a huge island go to waste? The reason there was no development on the island before... was entirely because it was too small, not even enough for the old man's own living space, let alone room for construction and high investment! But now it's different! Such a large island... the size of hundreds of football fields! The old man couldn't possibly live in all of it himself! The country will definitely go there to build it up!"

"That's right, I think so too! The location of that small island is extremely important! Especially its weight in terms of military significance... it's irreplaceable! You have to know... that small island is located at the southernmost point of the Dragon Country's territorial sea boundary line! It's also the maximum combat radius for Dragon Country fighter jets... If a military base or a military airport were to be built there... the combat range of Dragon Country fighter jets... could be increased by several times over."

"So... in the end, hahahaha! This [Mutated Coral] that Lin Xian invented... at the end of the day, it can't escape military application, can it? In my opinion, Lin Xian, stop struggling! Stop fighting against your own talent! Just honestly go into the arms industry. Next up... is the last lucky fan to be connected with tonight, right? This time... will the person be a soldier? Or a farmer?"

All good things must come to an end! Lin Xian's livestream tonight... is finally entering its true final stage! Everyone widened their eyes! Everyone waited in anticipation! Who exactly is this last lucky fan to be connected with?... What is his identity? Is he a soldier disguised as a farmer? Or a legitimate farmer? And he... what kind of request will he make? What kind of product does he hope Lin Xian can manufacture? All of this! It makes people incredibly expectant! Expectant! Expectant!

Finally... amidst the gaze of everyone! Lin Xian smiled at the camera and said: "So next... we enter the final moments of tonight. We will now connect with the third lucky fan who was drawn... and see what kind of request they will make, and what kind of product they hope our Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory can manufacture!"

Having said that! Lin Xian directly clicked the connect button! Beep—beep—beep—ding! The connection went through! This time... the other side directly turned on [Video Call] mode! Therefore, the moment the connection was established! Everyone could clearly see the appearance of this lucky fan—

To everyone's surprise! Not a soldier! Nor a farmer! It was actually a—Little boy who looked only seven or eight years old!

"Hi!" That spirited, chubby Little boy, with rosy cheeks, wearing a thick, heavy cotton coat and a warm, large cotton hat, waved his hand to greet Lin Xian: "Hello Brother Lin Xian, hahahaha! To be able to video chat with you... I am truly so lucky!"

As he spoke, the chubby Little boy kept breathing out white mist. It could be seen... that the place where he was located was truly very cold! Otherwise, he wouldn't be armed to the teeth in a big cotton coat!

Lin Xian smiled and waved back at the Little boy: "Hello little friend, please introduce yourself briefly to everyone."

Hearing Lin Xian's words, the chubby Little boy nodded and said to the screen with a chuckle: "Hello, uncles, aunties, brothers, and sisters from all over the country! My name is Zhuang Zhuang! The place where I live... is the northernmost city in the Dragon Country! At the same time... it is also the city with the lowest temperature in the whole country—"

"[Mohe]!"

"Hahaha, everyone look at the breath I'm exhaling as I talk... and the ice frozen on my eyebrows, you should be able to tell... the temperature here is really, really low! It's extremely, extremely cold!"

"I just watched the weather forecast yesterday... the big sister on it said... this year our lowest temperature here... will be below minus 40 degrees."

The Little boy's words... just hearing them made one feel as if the ambient temperature and body temperature dropped by several degrees instantly! A temperature of minus forty degrees... This! Can one even go outside!? Wouldn't you freeze to death? Wouldn't your pee turn into an icicle in a second!?

For a moment... all the netizens in the livestream room couldn't help but gasp! They commented one after another:

"Mohe... no wonder it's so cold over at little Zhuang Zhuang's place! The city of Mohe is just too famous... I believe every student who has studied middle school geography has been tested on this question countless times! Mohe is the northernmost city in the Dragon Country's geography, with a very high latitude! So... naturally, it is also very cold! Minus 40 degrees seems very terrifying to us... but in the city of Mohe, this temperature is simply a daily occurrence!"

"Hiss! As a southerner, let alone traveling to Mohe... just from hearing those few words from little Zhuang Zhuang, and seeing his chubby big cotton coat outfit... I can feel how cold it is there as if I were there myself. I'd always heard that winter in the north is cold... but I didn't have any concrete concept. But seeing little Zhuang Zhuang's state! The white mist he exhales, the ice crystals on his eyebrows... I finally realized! His place is simply as cold as an ice cellar!"

"It's hard to imagine... a temperature of minus 40 degrees! What kind of concept is this? I really can't even imagine it! So little Zhuang Zhuang isn't actually fat... it's very likely that his big cotton coat is just too thick! That's why he looks so chubby! So... what kind of agricultural request could such a Little boy from cold Mohe have? It's hard to imagine... can you even farm in a place as cold as Mohe?"

"Uh... honestly, for a seven or eight-year-old child, I really don't think he's here for any agricultural purpose... it's very likely he just thought it was fun, so he clicked to apply for a video call... and then happened to be luckily drawn by the system, right? Sigh... if that's really the case, then this precious connection opportunity is going to be wasted! I guess... a brat of this age would probably want Lin Xian to make Ultraman, Gundam, Transformers, or something like that, right?"

"It's hard to say! When Lin Xian gave gifts to the children of those three families—the hunter, the herdsman, and the fisherman—weren't they all three very sensible children? You can't look at little Zhuang Zhuang through the colored glasses of a 'brat'! They say children of poor families take on responsibilities early... look at what little Zhuang Zhuang is wearing, it doesn't seem like he comes from a wealthy family. So... the request he makes might really be related to agriculture and match the specialty of Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory!"

After learning that little Zhuang Zhuang came from Mohe, the coldest and northernmost city in the Dragon Country... everyone was very curious! What kind of agricultural request would such a child living in extreme cold express, and what kind of wish would he make?

In the livestream footage, Lin Xian smiled and chatted with little Zhuang Zhuang: "Hello Zhuang Zhuang, I am the factory director of Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory, and we specialize in producing agricultural machinery. So... if your family or your relatives have encountered any difficulties in the agricultural field... you can bring them up here!"

"For a long time, I have superficially believed that the Northeast region is a fertile granary, and that the black soil of the Northeast has nurtured countless children of the Dragon Country, serving as a symbol of harvest and quality. But... after seeing you today, I realize that my thinking was indeed too shallow..."

"The so-called Northeast black soil is probably concentrated in areas with relatively lower latitudes. But in cities like Mohe where you are, with such high latitudes... and such extreme cold... agricultural cultivation must encounter many difficulties, right?"

"Go ahead and speak boldly! After hearing your request... I will, just like I did for that fisherman comrade and the Island Keeper Grandpa... develop a specialized product tailored to your needs."

Upon hearing Lin Xian's promise, little Zhuang Zhuang was exceptionally happy! He clapped his hands and jumped up excitedly! With this jump... everyone realized how deep the snow was on his side! It's hard to imagine! In such a cold climate, with such deep snow... is it really possible to cultivate and farm!?

Amidst everyone's curiosity, this little Zhuang Zhuang spoke up—

"Thank you, Brother Lin Xian! Here... not just my family, but everyone in the village, and even the farmers in the entire Mohe county... actually, since ancient times, have all had the same trouble!"

"Farming here is quite difficult! The harvest every year is not very good... only when we are lucky can we harvest enough grain to feed the family. [Actually... there are two difficulties we face when farming here—]"

"The first point, everyone can imagine... that is, the climate is too cold! If the wheat has grown, it's fine, as it has a certain cold resistance. But... if you are unlucky and there is a frost just after transplanting the seedlings... then all these wheat seedlings will freeze to death."
