Ling Feng stood up before the report had even concluded, making as if to switch off the screen.
Seeing this, Lin Siqi raised her hand to stop him, "Ling Feng, aren't you going to watch any longer? It seems it's not over yet. They might announce some information about this product!"
Ling Feng shook his head, "What they can announce are merely some figures, perhaps some inspiring visuals!"
As Ling Feng spoke, the screen indeed changed, showing the physical changes of soldiers after taking the serum. The footage was clearly a meticulously edited piece.
It was indeed very inspiring. Everyone enjoyed this feeling of effortless gain.
Compared to the arduous cultivation methods of the全民武道馆 (Quanmin Wudao Guan - All-People Martial Arts Hall), a serum that could instantly increase physical fitness by thirty percent was bound to excite everyone.
It would also pique everyone's greed.
However, Lin Siqi and the others couldn't muster any excitement at all. What they saw was disaster!
Noticing their grim expressions, Ling Feng could only offer a wry smile and continue, "No need to watch further. Their true intentions are revealed later. They will eventually announce that these products can be provided to friendly nations, but absolutely not to our Great Hua. They will call this... oh, sanctions. They will blame the current unstable international situation, and even potential wars, on us. These are just common tricks of their American politicians. There's nothing more to see!"
With that, Ling Feng headed downstairs.
The others were stunned. If what Ling Feng said was true, the situation was even more perilous. But why could Ling Feng remain so calm and composed?
They couldn't understand and wanted to chase after him to ask, but it also felt somewhat inappropriate. At this moment, they could only sit there and continue watching the news report.
Ultimately, everything Ling Feng had predicted appeared in the news.
At this moment, they could even hear shouts and curses from their surroundings. Clearly, chaos had erupted! The entire Great Hua was in disarray!
Such a powerful serum was being withheld from the people of Great Hua. Even with money, it couldn't be bought. Each serum was numbered and required real-name verification for use, ensuring no single dose would leak into Great Hua.
Clearly, this was also to prevent Great Hua from analyzing and reverse-engineering their serum. The Americans were not fools; they had already anticipated some potential scenarios. The researchers at the 济世集团 (Jishi Jituan - World-Saving Group) were in no way inferior to them. Therefore, once a serum entered Great Hua and was deciphered, or even replicated, it would only be a matter of time, and perhaps not a very long time at that!
Ji Yunyue's expression turned extremely cold. The surrounding curses made her feel increasingly uneasy. Now, all citizens of Great Hua might begin to question Ling Feng's previous decisions and commands. If this situation worsened, domestic stability would be severely threatened, especially with the capital already experiencing turmoil due to the day's events!
Now, the capital's safety zone would become even more chaotic.
"No, I have to go find Ling Feng and ask him properly. The capital can't withstand this kind of disturbance anymore. The situation in other places will quickly descend into chaos as well!"
Ji Yunyue couldn't help but rush downstairs to find Ling Feng.
However, Lin Siqi was a step ahead. She quickly intercepted Ji Yunyue, grabbed her shoulders, and said excitedly, "Don't go. All of this was deliberately arranged by Ling Feng. Think about it, think carefully. The capital didn't need to be this chaotic. All of this happened because Ling Feng did it intentionally. He deliberately released bait to let the enemy expose this information early."
Lin Siqi was indeed the smartest among them and understood Ling Feng the best. Her words stunned everyone.
Ji Yunyue also froze, her mind becoming clearer.
Lin Siqi shook her head helplessly and said, "Since Ling Feng has already made arrangements, there's no need for us to worry. If we go over now, we'll definitely disrupt his plans!"
Tang Ru also nodded to Ji Yunyue, "Yes, yes, we shouldn't bother him now!"
"What we should do now is help!" the other women chimed in.
Ji Yunyue finally took a deep breath and calmed her emotions. She then smiled wryly and shook her head, "It seems we can't help at all. Let's just wait and see."
The few of them sat back down and continued to stare at the television.
Meanwhile, Ling Feng was not idle. He had long anticipated the commotion outside.
"Zhou Jin, have you investigated?"
Ling Feng's phone rang. Upon answering, he asked directly.
"It's been investigated and confirmed. The Liu Group does indeed control some beast hunting grounds and has monopolized some monster materials and medicinal herbs. These are definitely the raw materials for the serum they just announced. Of course, there might be some decoys mixed in, and it will still take some time to crack it!"
Zhou Jin's voice was extremely grim, his attitude clearly one of utmost seriousness. Zhou Jin also understood the impact of that serum on the entire world.
"How long to completely crack it?" Ling Feng pressed.
Zhou Jin frowned, "I'll do my best, but... I really can't determine the exact time. If it's fast, perhaps a week; if it's slow, about a month should be enough!"
Ling Feng shook his head, "I'm talking about cracking, not complete replication!"
"Ah? If it's just analyzing the raw materials, cracking these components will indeed be faster. Even if the accuracy isn't one hundred percent, it can reach over ninety percent!"
Zhou Jin said this with considerable confidence.
Ling Feng nodded, "Just tell me directly, how long will it take."
"If it's just material cracking, I might be able to finish it tonight!" Zhou Jin gritted his teeth, still somewhat confident.
"En, then crack it as soon as possible!" Ling Feng nodded, then added to Zhou Jin, "Notify Li Tianjiao about some of the main materials first, and have him arrange media promotion! Forget it, just provide a portion of the materials. I'll communicate with Li Tianjiao!"
"Yes!"
Zhou Jin hung up the phone and began to race against time.
"Big Brother, they're already cursing outside. Some scoundrels seem to be deliberately causing trouble, saying that if you hadn't pushed the Americans too hard, perhaps they would also be able to enjoy those serums!"
Lin Shuainan rushed in, immediately reporting the situation outside. Lin Shuainan now completely understood what Ling Feng had said earlier.
These guys were truly like traitors and running dogs. As soon as the news was released, people started causing trouble.
Ling Feng said unhurriedly, "I've already sent people to investigate. Those who incite the crowd at this time will be the targets for future examples. No need to rush!"
Li Tianjiao's call suddenly came through.
Lin Shuainan wanted to say something more but then fell silent.
Ling Feng answered the call, and Li Tianjiao's voice came through, "What does the material Zhou Jin sent me mean? Is it the formula for Liu Group's new serum?"
"It's just a portion of the materials, the identifiable components. Now, you start arranging to release these partial materials to everyone, telling them that Great Hua has the capability to manufacture such a serum, but we disdain to use it because of its significant side effects!"
