Huh? There's a magic school here.

The day after the news broke, netizens across Asia were also shocked! Governments in countries like Japan and the South Korea were powerless to stop the panicked masses, who had swept away all available supplies from the streets. As for ordinary people in other East Asian countries, they didn't care about the situation at all; they were only concerned with whether they could have enough to eat that day!

As for the people of the Dragon Kingdom, some were already panicking and taking to the streets to buy up all the visible supplies. However, the Dragon Kingdom government had anticipated this situation and had made preparations in advance. To reassure the public, the Dragon Kingdom government prepared sufficient supplies beforehand and quickly replenished them each time the people had bought everything.

While the public was still quite excited after one or two incidents, after a while, they began to wonder if they were overreacting. With so many goods available, prices had risen but remained within acceptable limits. Coupled with the government's vigorous promotion of stability and the demonstration of strength by Taixu's branch schools, life gradually returned to normal for the people of the Dragon Kingdom.

So Chinese netizens started watching other countries' jokes online!

Gunfights are a daily occurrence in the United States, even though the Ministry of Magic has sent Aurors to help maintain order. However, their power is limited to stopping crime; the final judgment rests with the United States. But in that magical land, lacking the funds to increase prison capacity, they can only release those with less serious crimes.

These people, seeing that they would at most be sentenced to community service, became even more brazen. Then, some inexplicable cults emerged, and even more outrageous, some people impersonated wizards to swindle people. After realizing they had been scammed, the victims reported it to the police station, and the police and the Auror quickly understood that they had been deceived.

Of course, it wasn't just the United States that started scamming; other countries did too, and so there was a burst of laughter on the Chinese internet.

"I can't believe it, folks! Look at how stupid this cult scam is, people actually believe it!"

"Yes, the United States! It's supposed to be the beacon of the free world! Yet they actually believe in eternal life through cult leaders! I've heard they've even offered their wives and daughters to cult leaders!"

"I have a bold idea: I wonder if it's too late for me to go and create a communist theocracy!"

"You're probably just looking to die young! Brother, you're still young, you need to be more careful!"

"Hey, look at this scammer! They actually organized a field trip for the Black kids at school!"

"What's so outrageous about going on a picnic? It's perfectly normal! We've gone on picnics before!"

"But who would be so kind as to take their picnic to a cotton field! They even gave the children tools and said they could pick as much cotton as they wanted, and whoever picked the most would get a reward!"

"Hmm? Picking cotton? Something doesn't feel right to me."

"The children worked hard all day picking cotton under the hot sun, and then each of them was rewarded with a bottle of Coke and a hamburger!"

"Wow, that's some serious imagination! Doesn't the United States prohibit child labor?"

"Yes, they didn't use child labor! They were on a picnic!!!"

"But how was this thing discovered?"

"Because the children wrote down their experiences from today's outing after they got home, and their parents found out!"

"Hahaha~ I've learned something! I'll arrange for the kids to go on field trips to the factory in the future! After all, the factories are all located in the suburbs!"

"Going on a factory picnic! You evil capitalists!"

"What you're seeing is nothing! It's just as lively over there during the Great Cold!"

"What's wrong with the Great Cold?"

"Is the kimchi supply running out again in the Great Cold Kingdom?"

"No, they claim it's unfair for our Dragon Kingdom to be the regional leader! They say that the founder of Hogwarts, Marquis Andreas Morrie, was from the Great Cold Nether Kingdom! They have evidence to prove that Marquis Andreas' ancestors immigrated from the Great Cold Nether Kingdom!"

"Hey, wait, isn't Marquis Andres an orphan?"

"That's the problem! You're an orphan, right? How can you prove that the ancestor I found for you isn't your ancestor?"

"Is this the legendary victim-blaming theory?"

"I don't know, but they're making quite a fuss on Facebook! They've even started questioning Marquis Andres, asking why, as a descendant of the Great Han Kingdom, he didn't establish a branch of his magic school in the Great Han Kingdom but instead chose our Dragon Kingdom!"

"It made me so angry I laughed!"

While ordinary citizens were posting all sorts of outlandish comments online, governments around the world were being quite honest. Japan and the Great Cold Kingdom both sent their second-highest-ranking officials to China for state visits, ostensibly friendly visits, but it was clear to everyone that they were there to pay protection money.

Japan, as a defeated nation, is not allowed to have its own army, and the United States, as a sovereign nation, lacks command authority over its own military. Now, with this situation, the United States is abandoning both countries again. Although this hasn't been officially stated, the withdrawal of its troops is a fact.

Being abandoned wasn't the worst part; they were more than happy for the US to withdraw its troops from their territory. What was most frustrating was that not only had they not reduced their military spending, but it had even increased significantly. This was a slap in the face! Their people had always believed that paying the US military was like hiring bodyguards to protect them, even if these bodyguards occasionally assaulted the female head of the household or, occasionally, caused a drunk driving accident that killed the male head. But that didn't change the fact that they were hired bodyguards. Now, all the bodyguards had resigned, but their salaries were still being paid, and they even had to get a raise.

Isn't this incredibly frustrating? It's infuriating that people from both countries are jumping up and down online! Especially now that both nations are seeking new protection from the Dragon Kingdom, how can their people not be angry? But no matter how angry they are, it's useless, because the only country that can help them in this interdimensional invasion is the Dragon Kingdom.

Chinese netizens discovered that after the regional divisions, the telecom fraud zone in a neighboring country was also wiped out by several nations, and the monkey at sea stopped its provocations. Even Australia, which had been declaring war on China, has quieted down and no longer mentions the "China threat" theory.

These countries not only refrain from mentioning the "China threat" theory, but they also consistently praise China. They claim that as a world power, China should set an example for world peace, and that China, as their suzerain state since ancient times, has an obligation to protect its vassal states!

In short, as long as the Dragon Kingdom is willing to protect itself in this interdimensional invasion, what does face matter? We don't care about price per pound! We'll sell it all!

What's most infuriating for Chinese netizens is that the nomadic country to the north has started to change its tune. Previously, claiming to be Chinese in that country would get you attacked, but now they're declaring themselves part of Chinese territory since ancient times! What? They want proof? Fine, look at the stone tablet we discovered in 2014, inscribed with Ban Gu's "Inscription on Mount Yanran"! We've been Chinese territory since the Han Dynasty!

This thing is actually quite effective. Once the stone tablet was brought out, even the Chinese netizens who originally didn't want the nomadic countries to return to the past had nothing to say.
