Chapter 146 His Tolerance, Skilled and Brave Eunuch.
After the call connected, Gu Xixi saw a familiar face that she used to only see on the news.
At their first meeting, Gu Xixi was a little flustered. Beneath her forced composure lay a panicked heart. What should she say to the country's top leader?
Would smiling make her seem frivolous? Would not smiling make her seem impolite? A thousand thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant.
She stared intently at the screen, glancing at the others out of the corner of her eye, figuring that she could definitely do the right thing by just following their example.
The top leader on the other side of the screen was also watching her, the long-rumored patriotic lady of the Chinese nation with a cheat code.
"Greetings, comrades." The top leader finally spoke. "Comrade Gu Xixi, you don't need to be nervous. Just pretend I don't exist."
"Greetings, Commander." Everyone greeted in unison, and Gu Xixi quickly followed suit. When everyone fell silent, she returned the polite greeting of the highest leader, "No, that won't do, you're too dazzling."
How can you pretend it doesn't exist?
As soon as she spoke, everyone around her smiled at her in a friendly manner.
Fortunately, the meeting quickly got back on track and they got down to business. With topics to discuss, Gu Xixi's tension gradually eased, and she was even able to speak loudly, clearly, and logically when expressing her opinions.
The top leader only listened to the whole story, the needs, and some words of encouragement before going on to attend to other matters. He hung up the video call, and Gu Xixi and the remaining leaders continued the meeting.
Gu Xixi breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Anguo had Chu Feng bring in some warm water, and then he started talking, "Let's continue. This mission is what we all eagerly anticipate, and it's something we absolutely must complete well. Everyone must show the same drive as our martyrs and take this mission seriously."
"Comrade Gu Xixi, the biggest problem right now is that the Yuanmingyuan Garden is vast and contains a great many treasures. You can only take one person with you this time, so this mission will be very difficult to complete. Therefore, according to the highest leader's wishes, could we consider using the one upgrade opportunity we obtained earlier on the number of people we can take through the garden?"
Although Gu Xixi might be able to get the people who were guarding the Yuanmingyuan at the time to help with the moving, what if... this matter cannot be allowed to go wrong, so the plan requires her to achieve the goal on her own.
Instead of pinning your hopes on others, if you can find the people from that time to help you, that would be an unexpected joy, the icing on the cake.
As soon as Chu Anguo finished speaking, a general also spoke up, "Of course, if the number of people meets our expectations, this reward will be worthwhile. Also, regarding how to transport the treasures back, even if your supermarket is emptied, it won't be able to hold that many."
Gu Xixi nodded, "Please wait a moment, let me ask first."
[Brother Tongzi? Did you hear what they were saying with my ears? What are your thoughts?]
"What do you want me to think?" The system voice broadcasted in a completely mechanical tone.
Gu Xixi: ? ? ?
She suspected that the system was being lazily enabled by the AI voice reply.
[Brother Tongzi, I'm begging you, I don't usually ask for favors.]
You asked me for help before.
The system's voice finally returned to its previous tone, still somewhat playful, but then it became serious: "[If the reward for upgrading everything is applied to the supermarket travel function, it's feasible. The estimated maximum number of people that can be carried is 20, but this prediction is inaccurate; the actual redemption results will prevail.]"
20 people!
That's not bad either.
Gu Xixi immediately spoke up, and everyone's eyes lit up.
If it's just two people, even if they move for a whole day and night, they can't move much. But 20 people can do a lot more.
Especially if these 20 people were replaced by field special forces... their speed and endurance would be equivalent to ten men each, far exceeding the strength of the 20 men the emperor mentioned.
The leaders at the table looked at each other and then nodded.
Gu Xixi understood: "Brother Tongzi, let's upgrade the 'Carry a Supermarket to Another World for Trading' feature."
[Upgrading the function to allow the number of staff to be carried during time travel... Upgrade complete. Starting from the next time you travel, the maximum number of people you can carry will be 40. The maximum number of permanent staff you can leave behind has been increased to 3 per supermarket.]
Wow, what a pleasant surprise! The number of people I can bring has increased to 40!
"Oh, and about the supply delivery machines," Gu Xixi laughed. "Brother Tongzi, I'll be buying a lot of things that need to be delivered quickly. Shouldn't we increase the number of supply delivery machines to facilitate our transactions? I'm only suggesting this for normal trading needs, you won't refuse, will you?"
Gu Xixi smiled obsequiously, and Chu Anguo knew that the deal was probably done. He always felt that this trading system was human-like and particularly tolerant of Gu Xixi.
[This system can provide the host with 20 supply delivery machines. After traversing the area, the host can deploy and install them at designated coordinates.]
[Wow, System Bro, you're really, really too good! Can you let me give you a name? How about Long Aotian?] Gu Xixi remembered that the system ignored her last time.
As expected, the system remained silent again, offering no response.
So what is it called?
Gu Xixi snapped out of her daze and told everyone the results of her discussion with the system. Everyone was delighted and applauded.
"Great, great! There are 20 more people than expected, that's enough, more than enough. And with so many more delivery and pickup machines, it seems the supermarket will need to undergo some renovations."
The general looked thoughtful as he held the floor plan of the "Make a Fortune" supermarket.
Chu Anguo nodded, "Chu Feng, go and pick 34 of your teammates. This time, your Black Dragon team will be responsible for transporting and delivering the traded items. Ran Qing, who is already prepared, will be one of the staff members responsible for guarding the supermarket. The remaining four people will take two cultural relics experts with them."
As for the last two...
As Chu Anguo pondered, the general spoke up, "Give me a spot. The guards of the Yuanmingyuan at that time were a group of martyrs. Although they were eunuchs, some of them had descendants before they became eunuchs. I happen to know one of them. If we bring him along, our operation might go more smoothly and be more effective."
What the world may not know is that when this "Oriental Versailles" was burned, looted, and pillaged on the night of October 6, 1860, there were only about twenty guards inside.
At that time, the leader was Ren Liang, the eighth-rank leader of the Yuanmingyuan's skilled eunuchs. These eunuchs were called "skilled eunuchs," and they were tall men who were skilled in martial arts, selected from the eunuch ranks.
Although outnumbered and outgunned, they held their ground, but their strength was so limited that even with their desperate struggle, they all met their end in martyrdom.
Such loyal and patriotic individuals could perhaps be recruited to one's own service if someone who understands them were to persuade them.
“Okay.” Chu Anguo immediately agreed. “As for the last person, let’s bring a reporter. I’ll arrange it. I think we need a belated official record.”
