"Only your Lilliputian nation is known for its despicable behavior on this continent. Every time there's a war, you just play the victim, getting giant beasts to fight for you, or you resort to underhanded tactics, like sneak attacks and threats..."

"That's called intelligence. Who told you giants to be so brainless? So many years have passed, and you still haven't grown a brain, have you? You don't even dodge when a trap is right in front of you, you just pierce your own feet. Clumsy, that's you..."

……

The crowd started arguing again, but the giant and the dwarf at the front of the line began to tell the stories they knew.

Giant: "I'm going to tell you a true story from a hundred years ago, from the ancestors of our land of giants and land of little people. Once upon a time, the land of giants and land of little people were friendly neighbors. The people of the land of little people were always bullied by the animals of this land because they were too short, and the people of the land of giants always came to their rescue."

The dwarf said, "We have friendly relations with the land of giants. The big, dumb giants are always being deceived by their prey, and the people of Lilliput always help them identify the lies."

Neither of the two truth-telling machines issued a warning; they were both telling the truth.

Gu Xixi saw that it had officially started, so she moved a chair to the supermarket entrance and sat between the two machines, and began to record useful information.

Giant: "We helped each other and lived happily ever after, until one day, a giant and a dwarf among our ancestors obtained a very large gem together."

The dwarf: "Until one day, our ancestors obtained a gem together, and the ancestors of the giants wanted to keep it all for themselves..."

The truth machine on the Lilliputian team's side lit up red: Warning, warning of lies!

The dwarf frowned, angry. "He not only wanted to take it all for himself, but he also killed the ancestors of Lilliput."

The truth machine is flashing a red light again: Lies warning!

A riot broke out in the groups of giants and dwarfs.

The giant continued, "It was the ancestors of the Lilliputians who wanted to take it all for themselves, so they killed one of our giant ancestors. Our other ancestors discovered this and killed that villain from Lilliput who betrayed his friends."

The Giants' team's truth machine also lit up with a red light: Lie warning, lie warning.

Gu Xixi paused, it was all a lie...

None of that is true... so there really is a problem with the origin of the feud between Lilliput and Giants.

Neither side's ancestors intended to keep it all for themselves, so what exactly happened back then, and where did the gem go...?

As she was pondering this, the residents of Lilliput and Giants, who were queuing up, could no longer bear it.

"Did you hear that? You Lilliputians are lying. It was your ancestors who stole the gems."

"You giants are not smart enough, and now your ears are broken too, aren't they? The Truth Machine said that you are lying too. Our ancestors did not keep it all to themselves. That gem must have been hidden by you giants."

"The machine clearly heard your voices and was talking about you."

"It is you, evil giants."

"If you continue to slander us, don't blame us for being impolite!"

……

In an instant, some giants went berserk, some giants tried to break up the fight, some little people took the initiative to attack, and some little people fled in panic.

The scene instantly descended into chaos.

"Brother Tongzi, send all the troublemakers back to their respective cities." Gu Xixi's thoughts were interrupted, and she tugged at "Shen Qingyan," who had appeared beside her at some point.

She was already used to his sudden appearances.

The next second, everyone on the scene vanished, and the area in front of the supermarket was completely empty...

Gu Xixi: ...

It seems everyone is trying to cause trouble; their national and personal grievances run too deep...

Just then, outside the supermarket, Professor Zheng, Professor Wei, Chu Feng, and several special forces soldiers returned, covered in dew.

"A great discovery, a great discovery indeed!"

Professor Zheng was extremely excited. He carried an instrument that Gu Xixi did not recognize and quickly went to her.

“When I came back yesterday afternoon, I noticed that something was wrong with the river, but I couldn’t figure it out. Then, in the middle of the night, a possibility suddenly came to mind, so I couldn’t help but want to go and verify it immediately.”

"So you acted without reporting it? Chu Feng, what's going on? It's so dangerous at night, why didn't you tell me?"

Gu Xixi's expression was serious; no matter how big the discovery, it was not as important as everyone's safety.

There are also disciplinary issues!

Chu Feng and several special forces soldiers immediately stood at attention and saluted. Chu Feng reported, "Professor Zheng ran away on his own. We're going to bring him back."

Professor Zheng's smile vanished as he suddenly realized, "Xixi, I'm sorry, I got carried away. I'm willing to accept the punishment for violating the rules, and I promise there will never be a next time."

He figured there were no giants or little people around at night, and he hadn't encountered any scary wild beasts lately, so...

Looking back now, I feel terrified.

Gu Xixi got angry too, and in a moment of agitation... This is another world, what if something happens...?

"Chu Feng should report the whole story to the higher-ups and hand it over to them for processing." Gu Xixi's tone turned cold, and Professor Zheng became even more like a quail.

"Go back and change your clothes first, and have some hot water before we talk," Gu Xixi waved her hand, gesturing for them to go inside first.

The group, like children caught by their parents after making a mistake, went inside dejectedly.

Fifteen minutes later, Professor Zheng finally came out. "Xixi, I swear, there will never be a next time. I know you were worried about my safety, and I was scared myself just now..."

"Okay, Professor, please tell me, what did you find?" Gu Xixi asked. After all, Professor Zheng was a professor, and she couldn't continue to dwell on this matter since she had already dealt with it.

We should also give the old professor face.

As for how to punish violations of discipline, that's a headache for Chu Anguo's leaders.

"XiXi, after measuring all night, I found something under the river!"

"The protective shield of this planet's atmosphere comes from a special energy source in the river, combined with certain topographical conditions, and can be described as exquisite."

Professor Zheng regained his previous excitement as he spoke.

"Although we can confirm these things, I still don't understand the specific principles behind them. There are too many aspects involved. If possible, we should go down to the bottom of the river and take a look."

"According to the detection, the object is located directly below the border line between the two countries, extending halfway to the river surface. The river surface is less than 500 meters from the riverbed, so we'll go in a submarine. Of course, we'll need professional operators. I asked Chu Feng, and there are two submarine operators in our team this time."

Gu Xixi had a gut feeling, so she readily agreed, "Okay, Chu Feng, apply to the higher-ups."

[Brother Tongzi, place a giant supply delivery machine in the backyard of the modern supermarket and along the river here, and bring the submarine over.]

Okay, it will be delivered at 1 PM.

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away." Chu Feng turned and went upstairs. Ran Qing brought over steamed dumplings. "Professor Zheng, breakfast is ready."
