The old man was dressed plainly. He was behind the scenes of the Republic and his contributions to the country were not much less than that person.
It was different from the face he often saw on television. It was less serious and more amiable.
If one didn't know him, they would think that the old man standing in front of them was a friendly old man next door.
However, through those weathered eyes, it was as if he could see a magnificent epic that accompanied the rise and change of the country.
As he was in charge of the intelligence department all year round, his eyes were sharp.
Just by standing there, he gave off an invisible sense of oppression.
If it was an ordinary person, they would have already started to get nervous.
However, Xu Qiu's mental state had been adjusted to the maximum by the system. At this moment, he only looked at the old man calmly and waited for the old man to speak.
The sudden visit of such an important existence of the country was definitely not a small matter.
Xu Qiu had already made a judgment in his heart.
While Xu Qiu was observing the old man, the old man was also observing Xu Qiu.
It was his first time meeting Xu Qiu. He wanted to see what was different about this reborn person who had returned from the apocalypse, a young man who could change the direction of the country's future strategy.
The old man wanted to see if the pressure and sacrifice that the Great Elder was under was worth it.
From the looks of it, the results were satisfactory.
Through the young man's unusually calm eyes, the old man saw an extraordinary calmness.
To be able to remain calm and steady in front of him was not easy for a young man.
After some simple probing, the old man went straight to the point."Xu Qiu, do you know how much pressure that old man has to bear for you?”
"I don't know. Please say it directly!" Xu Qiu said.
" You requisitioned 50 state-owned enterprises and the experimental Dungeon. All of these require a large amount of national resources. Just the scientists were requisitioned. In order to support you, that person suppressed many voices of opposition, but you didn't give him any help!”The old man said vaguely.
" It's true that the sun will go out in a year. I've already predicted the future twice. You should know that. Also, on the 21st of next month, a meteorite will hit the Siberian plains..." Xu Qiu explained, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by the old man.
" I know all this, but it's not enough. The country is a complicated machine. Once it's in operation, there's no turning back. Do you know how many years this decision will affect the country?”
"Let me tell you, it will take at least 15 to 20 years. A decision that can affect the fate of the country. How can you let that person make a decision so easily? Do you think that the country will believe you with just a few predictions about the future?”The old man's tone was cold and harsh, and a sense of oppression from a high position came from him.
If it was an ordinary person, they would have panicked at this moment. After all, this was the Second Elder.
However, under the effect of his mental fortitude being at its maximum, Xu Qiu's expression remained the same. He could even feel that the old man was only pretending to be angry.
His seemingly aggressive tone was actually conveying a message to him.
The meaning behind his words was very simple. A few simple prophecies about the future were not enough.
If he wanted the old man to let down his guard and gain the support of the entire country, he needed more direct and powerful evidence.
Now, the crux of the problem had returned to the starting point.
It proved that the sun would extinguish in a year!
"I think it's too simple! It was not enough to change the country's next strategic decision with just a few future prophecies!”
"But now, I'm already in a difficult position!”
Xu Qiu thought quickly in his mind.
If he confessed to the scam, then his outcome would definitely be incomparably tragic.
Therefore, he had to think of a way.
At this moment, just as Xu Qiu was filled with anxiety.
The system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind." The experimental version of the Dungeon Plan, a proposal jointly initiated by several scientists, has been submitted. The host's progress in the mission is outstanding. An incentive award is now being given. Do you accept it?”
"Received!" Xu Qiu said without hesitation.
He couldn't help but be ecstatic. This system was really timely. It came at the right time.
However, he should thank those scientists for saving his life at such a critical moment.
" From the looks of it, there's no pattern to the triggering of the incentive awards. As long as the fraud plan is carried out smoothly step by step, I should be able to receive many incentive awards. Otherwise, it'll be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to successfully survive the next year with just a few future prophecies!”
After a moment of joy, Xu Qiu calmed down.
Last time, the award was for his mental fortitude. He wondered what it would be this time.
Just as Xu Qiu was filled with anticipation, the system's voice sounded again."Congratulations, you have obtained a communication tool that perfectly matches this fraud!“
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qiu felt something hard in his pocket.
That silhouette…seemed to be a cell phone.
