Full-time Creation Master

.........

After a few forced, insincere greetings, he politely and respectfully exchanged a few rounds of words with Old Mrs. Fan!

Seeing Grandma Fan, who was so angry she could hardly breathe, Chu Ming felt a surge of triumphant pleasure!

"I knew I should have given more positive feedback!"

A holographic projection representing Chu Ming held negotiations with Shao Zheng and others at the Dragon Kingdom's Supreme Council.

This new generation of projection technology, which abandons the previous colored dot image, is truly amazing.

Chu Ming's clothing and appearance were almost a perfect replica, with no flaws visible to the naked eye.

Every detail is so lifelike, it's as if Chu Ming himself is standing right in front of everyone.

The edges of the projection were perfectly clear, as if a three-dimensional human figure had been carved out of the air.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a faint, shimmering quantum light deliberately surrounding him, he wouldn't be able to be seen as a human figure with the naked eye!

However, those deliberately created glimmers of light were circular, golden or silver-white, and radiated a glow...

It's truly impressive!

However, look beyond appearances to the essence!

In that instant, many people had a lot of thoughts about this new projection technology...

Chu Ming was dressed in a white outfit with gold and silver patterns, which contrasted sharply with the black and dark blue attire that Nick Fury, the previous leader of secret agents, always wore.

This perfectly aligns with Chu Ming's "Son of Tomorrow" motif!

(Chu Ming:..........This outfit was actually designed by Luo Tianhe and the Golden Lion King—Andy McDowell—who were agents who joined S.H.I.E.L.D.!)

The tailored design accentuated his tall and upright figure.

The gold and silver runes at the collar shimmered with a mysterious luster, clearly indicating that it was an expensive magical artifact.

The young Chu Ming was handsome, with strong yet gentle features, and his deep eyes were like cold stars twinkling in the night sky, revealing wisdom.

Beneath his high, straight nose, his thin lips curved slightly upward, carrying a confident smile.

He stood there, his posture upright, radiating an undeniable and powerful aura, as if he controlled everything in the world, inspiring awe in everyone.

...........

"Tsk tsk tsk, this projection looks pretty realistic~" A councilor said casually, looking at the holographic image that was clearly clearer.

Another councilor, who was on good terms with him, whispered, "What a coincidence!"

"One of the new pieces of equipment that S.H.I.E.L.D. finalized two weeks ago to support the most advanced research in China!"

"Oh!" the congressman said thoughtfully, "That's quite a coincidence..."

........

"Speaker, I understand the current situation of the Dragon Kingdom, but the price of the serum is already the lowest it can be."

"I already explained this point in detail with the two senior military commanders last time!"

"S.H.I.E.L.D. has invested a great deal of resources and effort in the research and production of the serum," Chu Ming said neither humbly nor arrogantly. "This price (10 Dragon Coins for the standard version of the Level 1 serum!) is truly the cost price!"

Honestly, even though Chu Ming is envious of the mere 2.5 trillion, he can't really get a single penny or a single resource from it!

At most, it only brings manpower and space for expanded reproduction, but there are also a bunch of accompanying troubles.

Security, cost, disputes... the political pressures on the Rice Grain Federation!

Shao Zheng seemed to truly believe him, nodding slightly: "General Chu Ming, we also know that the serum is excellent value for money!"

Calling Chu Ming "General" was a way to build rapport!

After all, this major general title belongs to the Dragon Kingdom's military, issued by the Purple Gold Camp Military Headquarters, and is absolutely legitimate!

Otherwise, shall we call Chu Ming "Chu Ming"?

In China, it's not appropriate to address someone by their first name!

Do they call Chu Ming Xiao Ming, Xiao Chu, or Chu Xiaozi?

Although they were close, the unspoken hierarchy was undeniably established, which was disrespectful to Chu Ming, who was entitled to sit at the table! (The exciting chapter "Chapter 138: Discussion of the Super Soldier Serum" is now available online; click to read it now!)

As for referring to work hours as job title?

Special Agent Chu? Commander Chu?

Without adapting to local conditions, the Supreme Council will not approve it!

........

"We agree in principle to the offer of 2.5 trillion!"

"but........."

In principle...but...≠Although...but...

"However, the Chinese economy is indeed facing pressure."

If we can discuss the details, we are willing to provide S.H.I.E.L.D. with more support in other areas.

Shao Zheng's eyes revealed a hint of scrutiny, trying to find a breakthrough from Chu Ming's expression.

However, beneath his calm exterior lay a turbulent inner world within Shao Zheng!

The old king has not yet abdicated, and the new emperor of the new era has already stepped onto the stage of history!

Shao Zheng asked himself honestly, and he didn't think he was someone who was hindering the progress of the times.

However, as a remnant of the old era destined to be swept into the dustbin of history, why should Shao Zheng be directly appointed?

Even Shao Zheng, who was above millions of people, was unwilling!

"Power is a poisonous wine; once you take the first sip, you're destined to be addicted!"

........

Discussing the details?

support?

Having long since outgrown the need to read people's faces and being familiar with social etiquette, Chu Ming was no longer willing to tolerate this!

"I wonder what details Speaker Shao Zheng is referring to?"

Chu Ming waved his hand and said, "Tax incentives, policy support, land as equity, bank loans... even installment payments are not acceptable!"

Policy support?

Same as above!

Land as equity?

Land prices in China are very high, but decades of history in other countries have shown that real estate bubbles have no foundation!

Passing the flower and drum, whoever takes the first turn is the sucker!

Furthermore, even if Chu Ming were willing to be the sucker, he wouldn't be able to convince the other factions within the bureau!

After all, establishing industries and bases in China is a big problem in itself. There are so many places in the world with cheap land, why insist on doing it in China where land prices are currently inflated?

The moment Chu Ming proposes this motion, accusations of embezzlement and corruption against him will appear in the inboxes of Director Nick Fury, the Secretariat of the United Nations Security Council, and various council members!

Bank loans... even installment payments?

Manipulating contracts and then using the law as a scapegoat—this characteristic is notorious worldwide!

How could Chu Ming allow such a stain on his future to exist!

.........

During the negotiations for the cooperation agreement, Shao Zheng proposed a series of restrictive clauses that had both advantages and disadvantages for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s operations.

On the surface, it's all about better coordination and cooperation—offering benefits!

In reality, it was to prevent the SHIELD's power from expanding excessively in China.

They haven't given up on their infiltration plans!

Chu Ming understood, but didn't refute it further.

He knew that cooperation was the top priority at this stage.

As for his anger, he had already vented it all on Old Mrs. Fan!

To be fair, as one of only three openly forbidden spellcasters among the 56 people, Old Madam Fan, despite being severely injured by the emperor and plotted against due to her strong personality and meddling, leaving her with only one chance to unleash her full power (a conclusion reached 50 years ago by the Great Sage of the Parthenon Temple), no matter how Chu Ming retorted, this stubborn old lady, even when she was so angry she almost ascended to heaven, showed no intention of making a move!

Extreme in personality, but incredibly intelligent and self-disciplined!
