I Carry a Game World With Me

Baguda’s trip to Dragon Country didn’t last long. In Tianzhou City, with the help of Qingfeng Network Company and the connections of people Lu Feng previously controlled, the negotiations to assist with building a high-speed rail system were quickly finalized.

In truth, it didn’t need to be so complicated. They could have secured the aid even through normal channels, as the project would increase Dragon Country’s prestige and generate foreign exchange.

Dragon Country was likely looking to close the distance with the Xuanfeng Alliance, and besides, they had a natural advantage.

There were far too many people of Dragon Country descent in the Xuanfeng Alliance.

Upon returning to the Xuanfeng Alliance, Baguda immediately announced the results of the negotiations in a press release.

The public was ecstatic to learn that Dragon Country’s high-speed rail construction teams would soon be arriving in the Xuanfeng Alliance.

Countless people saw this as another opportunity for development, a chance for a quantum leap in their wealth.

At the same time, another piece of good news arrived: over in Bo Asia, passenger and cargo ships were docking at the seaport one after another.

This meant the seaport could soon begin preliminary operations even while construction was ongoing.

Furthermore, the Xuanfeng Nutrient Supplement had become an international sensation. The global weight-loss market was buzzing about it.

It had practically cornered the market. Unfortunately, the Xuanfeng Alliance’s production capacity was still limited, so there weren’t nearly enough supplements to meet demand.

This left countless overweight people anxious.

This situation prompted many companies to invest in trying to reverse-engineer the Xuanfeng Nutrient Supplement. Unfortunately, its elemental extraction technology was far too many years ahead of its time. With their current technology, those companies had no hope of cracking the formula anytime soon.

Perhaps they might crack it one day, but by then, the Xuanfeng Nutritional Potion would have already cornered the market.

This spurred the rapid expansion of Xuanfeng Nutritional Potion factories. Not only were new factories being built one after another in Wind Capital, but construction had also begun on numerous plants in Bo Asia.

Likewise, the need to procure various raw materials could launch a whole new industrial chain of cultivation projects.

Naturally, this excited the people of the Xuanfeng Alliance, as it represented yet another income-generating opportunity.

Of course, no one was happier than Baguda and Yasna.

Both men had studied in the West with the shared dream of saving their people, and both hoped for their citizens to lead prosperous lives.

Seeing the Xuanfeng Alliance poised for even greater prosperity and the Boya District improving step by step, they were naturally overjoyed.

Yasna’s allegiance was now absolute; his previous jumbled thoughts and worries had vanished.

Facts had proven the Governor’s magnanimity, as well as that of the Xuanfeng Alliance.

For all of Boya, joining the Xuanfeng Alliance was an incredibly fortunate turn of events.

「Wind Manor.」

Lu Feng was brewing tea with Baguda and Yasna.

Black Snake had returned. There was no longer any need for him to stay with Liu Hai. The recent press conference had showcased his capabilities, and no one dared to cause trouble. Besides, Chen Bo was keeping an eye on things there, and he was more effective in that role.

Everyone knew Chen Bo was the Governor’s man. If anyone tried any funny business, the Governor would likely find out immediately, and they wouldn’t even know what hit them.

Black Snake finished brewing another pot of tea and poured a cup for each of the three men.

"His Excellency the Governor, once the high-speed rail is under construction and eventually completed, shouldn’t we start investing in high-tech research?" Baguda proposed an ambitious idea.

A nation’s prosperity is, to a large extent, tied to its high-tech research capabilities.

The Xuanfeng Alliance’s economy is growing rapidly, but it’s all thanks to a few key products. And we still haven’t released that medicinal liquor for treating myopia.

Once we release it, it’s bound to be another massive success, creating another cultivation-based industrial chain throughout the Xuanfeng Alliance.

But these are ultimately soft power. In modern society, high-tech is hard power, and the pinnacle of that is weapons technology.

It’s just that the Xuanfeng Alliance isn’t in a position to take such a huge step.

So, venturing into other high-tech fields is worth a try.

Yasna watched the two men, not yet able to chime in on this topic.

However, he also felt that it would be an excellent thing if the Xuanfeng Alliance could develop its own high-tech.

Lu Feng nodded at Baguda’s proposal. High-tech was indeed crucial.

After a moment of thought, he said to Baguda, "Baguda, you can start recruiting relevant management and technical personnel for this. Make sure you vet them thoroughly. We have to be able to screen them to ensure they are absolutely trustworthy."

’Regarding the technical side, he wasn’t worried. As long as he could enter the game world and wait for the research department at Qingfeng Base to make some breakthroughs, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to come up with advanced technology.’

’What worried him was the issue of loyalty.’

’He couldn’t have a situation where a technology was just revealed, only for other countries or international powers to learn of it immediately. That would be a complete disaster.’

Receiving Lu Feng’s support, Baguda’s face lit up with joy. "Don’t worry, Governor. I will be extremely careful on this point. If anything goes wrong, you can hold me personally responsible."

’On this point, his worries were every bit as great as the Governor’s.’

’After all, he had personally witnessed and supervised the Xuanfeng Alliance’s development to its current state.’

’He had poured his heart and soul into it.’

’If anyone tried to sabotage the Xuanfeng Alliance, he would take their life.’

’He knew better than anyone that if the Xuanfeng Alliance was going to pursue high-tech, it would require a massive investment in research, and there was absolutely no room for error.’

’The Governor couldn’t possibly pull high-tech products out of thin air just like he did with those other product technologies, could he?’

The thought gave him pause.

’Then again, considering the Governor’s mysterious and unfathomable methods, perhaps it was possible?’

’Honestly, he still had no idea where the Governor got those products, all of which were years ahead of the rest of the world.’

’It was even more unlikely that they had been developed by other nations.’

’If other countries had developed them, they would have released them long ago. The opportunity would never have fallen to the Xuanfeng Alliance, let alone allowed them to dominate the market.’

At that, Baguda forced himself to quash the speculation.

’It didn’t matter. What mattered was that those products now belonged to the Xuanfeng Alliance and were fueling its rise.’

’As long as that core fact aligned with their goals, did anything else really matter?’

’In any case, the official story was that the Xuanfeng Alliance had developed these products themselves.’

As they were talking, Xiaozhi’s voice suddenly rang out. "Master, Myanmar has descended into complete chaos. Multiple factions are rebelling, and the entire country has entered a period of warlord infighting."

Lu Feng shot to his feet upon hearing the news.

’This was truly good news.’

’He had been waiting for this.’

’The Xuanfeng Alliance’s population was too small. Relying on natural growth, even with incentives, would mean waiting at least fifteen years for a major boom in the working-age population.’

’He couldn’t wait that long. Therefore, he had to find a solution from other countries.’

’First, it had been Dragon Country, and then Boya.’

’A large number of people had already come from Dragon Country, enough to be considered a major demographic. It was time to start considering other sources.’

’Otherwise, if the number of people from Dragon Country reached a certain point, the Xuanfeng Alliance might be seen as its vassal state by the rest of the world.’

’Boya was the perfect supplement to solve this problem. In the future, they could implement immigration policies directed at Boya, encouraging the integration of people from Dragon Country, Boya, and the original Xuanfeng Alliance.’

’Once that integration was complete and stable, it would solve many potential issues.’

’But for the Xuanfeng Alliance to truly rise, its population was still insufficient. So, wasn’t this chaos in Myanmar a golden opportunity?’

’With his past experience, he was confident that once people from Myanmar came to the Xuanfeng Alliance, they would never want to leave.’

’If he played his cards right, he could attract a massive number of people.’

"Governor, what is it?" Baguda asked with a confused look, seeing Lu Feng abruptly stand.

Lu Feng explained, "Myanmar has fallen into complete chaos. A dozen or so factions are in open rebellion. This is a great opportunity."

"Time to poach some people?" Baguda asked instinctively.

The words made Yasna, who was sitting nearby, freeze.

’Poach people?’
