Section 39

Not even a dog would believe that.

The reason the Dragon Kingdom representative has been racking his brains to come up with excuses... is simply because of various considerations; they are currently unwilling to expose everything and want to protect Lin Xian's safety!

"This is not good..."

The representative of India was truly panicking!

Many other countries might just be watching the spectacle for now...

But for India, which borders the Dragon Kingdom and doesn't have a very good relationship with it... this [Rice-transplanting Agricultural Mech] was simply a disaster!

He couldn't help but clasp his hands together and start praying!

Hoping...

Hoping that General Mike would definitely catch the Dragon Kingdom red-handed!

And send Lin Xian to the International Military Tribunal!

...

Meanwhile, General Mike...

...was already gnashing his teeth, consumed with rage!

Right now, he really had nothing to say except "F*ck"!

At first, he was adamant that this [Rice-transplanting Agricultural Mech] couldn't possibly be used for agricultural planting...

Only for the Dragon Kingdom representative to counter with—

"Our mech is used in mountainous and hilly areas; it's perfectly reasonable!"

He had originally insisted it was definitely a lie! No one would build a mech specifically for such a lame reason!

But to his surprise—

Lin Xian actually got into the mech and really went to transplant rice in the back mountains.

What the hell...

What the hell kind of world is this...

How could there be such an agricultural machinery factory? How could there be such a factory owner!?!?

General Mike knew he was being played...

...but he had no way to refute it!

The Dragon Kingdom had explained and demonstrated... it really was a [Rice-transplanting Agricultural Mech]! It was for transplanting rice!

However...

When Lin Xian said this mech could be [modified]...

General Mike immediately seized upon this point and questioned the Dragon Kingdom—

"Modification? I didn't mishear; I definitely heard that word just now."

"Representative of the Dragon Kingdom, don't try to argue! That streamer Lin Xian... just said this Agricultural Mecha can be modified!"

"I ask you, under what kind of agricultural requirement would an Agricultural Mecha need to be modified!? This is clearly preparation for conversion into [arms]! You've planned this all along!"

...

General Mike's verbal barrage continued unabated.

But this question wasn't enough to stump Director Chu Yun for now.

After Lin Xian's hint... Director Chu Yun now fully understood in which direction he should spin his story!

And so...

He smiled and slowly began to speak:

"Why is it that whenever you Americans hear 'modification,' you immediately associate it with the arms industry? I must say... that line of thinking is quite consistent with your style."

"Modification is normal in many fields. Take modified cars, for example... is every car modified to become a military vehicle or a tank?"

"Obviously... nearly 99% of modified cars have nothing to do with arms... they're just sports cars, rally cars, or even just for improving performance or appearance."

"So... the [modification] Mr. Lin Xian mentioned follows the same logic! As everyone knows... the Dragon Kingdom is vast and resourceful; planting environments, crops, and harvesting methods vary across different regions."

"So... isn't it perfectly reasonable to modify this [Rice-transplanting Agricultural Mech] to deal with different crops and terrains?"

...

After Director Chu Yun finished speaking, the Dragon Kingdom netizens in the synchronized livestream room went wild!

Bullet comments of support flooded in:

"Reasonable, reasonable! It's very reasonable, hahaha... Look, General Mike's mouth is twitching with anger. It's really a case of talking past each other! But... that's the power of our Dragon Kingdom's language! We know it's weaponry... but we insist it's agricultural machinery!"

"Give up, General Mike... you won't get any advantage regarding this [Rice-transplanting Agricultural Mech]! Actually... the moment Lin Xian said this mecha is for mountainous and hilly areas... he was already in an invincible position! Anyway, this Gundam is for transplanting rice! Believe it or not!"

"Hahahaha... although it sounds unbelievable, this Agricultural Mecha really is for transplanting rice! Look at the big screen... in Lin Xian's livestream, isn't he piloting the mech, climbing a cliff, and transplanting rice at the same time? Hahahaha... it's hilarious! That mecha's transplanting speed is so fast and precise! It really is 'seizing every opportunity'!"

"Facts speak louder than words... General Mike could never have dreamed that someone would be bored enough to build a [Rice-transplanting Agricultural Mech], right? I think... I finally understand why the Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory run by Lin Xian's father went bankrupt... if his father's thinking was as imaginative as Lin Xian's... in an era without the internet, it would be a miracle if they sold anything!"

"Lin Xian is such a troll! I never dreamed this would actually be a Gundam for transplanting rice. All I can say is... he's truly bold and skilled! His way of thinking is completely different from ours! Honestly... when Lin Xian said he was going to demonstrate transplanting rice and those mechanical arms holding seedlings sprouted from the back of the mech... I really couldn't help but burst out laughing!"

...

Chu Yun's words...

...once again left General Mike speechless.

Sigh!

It's just too infuriating!

Even knowing he's lying through his teeth...

...there's just no way to refute it.

He can keep spinning the story no matter how he's questioned...

[Is the racial talent of the Dragon Kingdom people just hoodwinking!?]

He looked up.

Staring fiercely at Lin Xian's livestream...

At this moment, Lin Xian was still hanging from the cliff, demonstrating the mecha's uses to everyone:

"Look, there are actually many agricultural tools stored in the arms of this mecha, and they can be automatically switched at any time."

As Lin Xian spoke, the upper left arm of Mecha 0 seemed to come alive and began to change rapidly!

In the blink of an eye—

A sickle appeared in the left hand!

"This sickle can be used by farmers when harvesting wheat."

The sickle disappeared! A hoe appeared.

"This hoe can be used for loosening soil or whatever; it's better to have it and not need it."

Another transformation!

The hoe disappeared! It was retracted into the "Agricultural Tool Library"...

Then, a shovel appeared in the mecha's left hand.

"Anyway, it has everything. This automatic tool switching system... is quite convenient."

...

Lin Xian was still explaining in all seriousness.

Pesticide sprayers, entrenching shovels, shears... various tools appeared one after another!

The mecha's inventory of agricultural tools was so vast...

...it was astounding!

But!

The representatives of over 200 countries currently watching the livestream...

...could no longer hold it in!

They were laughing their heads off!

"Hahahaha... the entertainment value from this Dragon Kingdom streamer is just too good! 'Automatic Agricultural Tool Switching System'? This is clearly an [Automatic Weapon Switching System]! If you just replace those tools with weapons... couldn't this mecha easily carry pistols, landmines, rocket launchers, and bombs!?"

"Hiss... thinking about it carefully, it's terrifying! Such a sophisticated and flexible mecha... carrying so many weapons! And the switching is so fast! On a battlefield, it would be a bunker—completely invincible! It would be the enemy of every army in the world! An army's nightmare!"

"Our thoughts are exactly the same! This Automatic Weapon Switching System is just too smooth! If this thing really goes to the battlefield... a blade in one hand, a machine gun in the other... and then switching to a grenade to throw at any time! This... this effect is just like playing a game! Have you played those shooters? Where you just press 1, 2, 3, 4 to switch weapons... it's insanely cool!"

"Hahahaha, anyway, our country has a very good relationship with the Dragon Kingdom! Our 'Big Brother' Dragon Kingdom usually takes good care of us... of course, we hope the Dragon Kingdom gets as strong as possible! Maybe... in the future, when Lin Xian's Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory develops even more powerful weapons... Big Brother Dragon Kingdom might even pass down these mechas to us!"

"Cough cough... keep your voices down... the Indian representative next to us is about to pee his pants! Look... in this weather, he's broken out in a cold sweat, his clothes are soaked! You can tell he's really terrified... Hey, hey, Indian brother! Take my advice... hurry up and apologize to the Dragon Kingdom, then get on their good side. Who knows what kind of alien technology Lin Xian will bring out next... a wise man adapts to the times!"

The entire hall was filled with chatter.
