Facing Ambassador Zhang's gaze.

François took off his backpack, pulled out a wooden box from it, and reached out to open the wooden box.

Inside lay a golden pen with a bizarre, rusty surface, quietly nestled within the sponge of the wooden box.

Ambassador Zhang glanced at the pen, then turned to look at a major who accompanied him.

The latter was a Superpower User.

The major stared at the pen for a few seconds and said softly, "I sense an ominous aura; this is indeed a Deceitful Artifact."

Ambassador Zhang immediately showed a smile.

Someone discovered the Deceitful Artifact and was willing to donate it to Great Xia, which is undoubtedly a good thing.

Even more fascinating is that the donor is a foreigner. Instead of donating the artifact to his own country, he chose to come to Great Xia.

Standing in the position of the ambassador, this is a very rewarding event.

Ambassador Zhang asked softly, "Mr. François, may I ask a personal question? Why do you want to do this?"

François paused for a moment and replied, "There are mainly two reasons."

He organized his thoughts and began to narrate, "Two months ago, my grandmother forgot to close the window, and a few Poisonous Mosquitoes flew into the house.

"My grandmother unfortunately got bitten by the Poisonous Mosquitoes. Feeling extremely unwell, she called the hospital's emergency line.

"But she waited an entire day and night, and by the time the ambulance arrived, she had already stopped breathing."

Ambassador Zhang uttered an "Oh": "I'm terribly sorry."

François shook his head, "Ambassador, you don't need to apologize for this. It's the Faelan Duchy that should really apologize."

His tone carried a hint of irony, "My grandmother had paid for healthcare insurance for decades, yet she didn't see an ambulance before she died."

Ambassador Zhang didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.

François then asked, "I heard that every city in Great Xia has a designated treatment center for Poisonous Mosquitoes, is that correct?"

Ambassador Zhang nodded, "Yes, anyone bitten by Poisonous Mosquitoes will be sent there as quickly as possible, and the treatment center offers free treatment."

The major chimed in, "Every community in Great Xia has a Poisonous Mosquito Prevention Office that is responsible for exterminating the mosquitoes periodically to minimize harm to the public."

François shrugged, "Great Xia is a more conscientious country, which is one of the reasons why I'm willing to donate the Deceitful Artifact to Great Xia."

Adelle looked at Ambassador Zhang, then turned back to glance at her boyfriend, her expression subtly changing.

François continued, "As for the other reason, it's because I watched Great Xia Ghost's battle, which prompted me to truly make up my mind."

Ambassador Zhang wasn't surprised, just smiled and said, "Mr. François, if you are willing to go to Great Xia, you should have a chance to meet Mr. Ghost."

This was an invitation.

François nodded, "It would be my honor."

This was a response.

Thus, both sides quietly reached an agreement.

Ambassador Zhang then asked, "Mr. François, besides you and your girlfriend, do you need any additional places for citizenship?"

François shook his head, "That's enough."

Only then did Ambassador Zhang get to the point, "Mr. François, could you tell us about the origin of this Deceitful Artifact?"

François nodded, "Certainly."

He quickly explained, "My grandfather was an engineer. He passed away ten years ago, and this pen was what he used throughout his life.

"Last month, after my grandmother died from the mosquito bite, after the funeral, I went to clean up their house and found this pen in the study.

"At that moment, when my finger touched the pen, a strange voice suddenly echoed in my mind."

He didn't continue, instead showing a strange expression.

Ambassador Zhang asked curiously, "What did the pen say?"

François replied, "The Deceitful Artifact told me that if I offered a piece of organ, it would be willing to teach me civil engineering knowledge.

"It claimed that through a soul-transmission method, it could enable me to master all the knowledge in half a month.

"It said it had learned all of my grandfather's knowledge and could make me an excellent engineer."

Ambassador Zhang almost burst into laughter.

This Deceitful Artifact is so strange?!

The ambassador asked, "Is its ability merely to transfer knowledge?"

François shook his head, "I communicated with the pen; it's better at understanding some things that ordinary people can't comprehend."

Ambassador Zhang was a bit confused, "What do you mean?"

François gave an example, "My grandmother was a specialist in the Ancient Golden Tower Language.

"I took a photo of the Ancient Golden Tower Language and, using 50 milliliters of fresh blood as a cost, had the Deceitful Artifact translate the ancient text for me.

"Upon comparing it with the translations of authoritative experts, I found some differences.

"I inquired about it, and the Deceitful Artifact explained it in detail, and I found its explanation to be more logical."

At this, he seemed a bit embarrassed, "Actually, I think this Deceitful Artifact doesn't have much combat power, at most, it can only provide some supportive function."

Just as the words fell.

The Deceitful Artifact inside the wooden box visibly twitched.

A voice of furious insult echoed in everyone's mind, "François, you are the most foolish thing this engineer has ever seen; you simply don't understand the importance of knowledge."

It was clear that François's words had deeply hurt the Deceitful Artifact, causing it to fly into a rage.

François looked indifferent, as if he was used to being scolded.

Glancing at Ambassador Zhang, he explained further, "The pen followed my grandfather for decades, absorbing a lot of civil engineering knowledge, and it likes to call itself an engineer."

Ambassador Zhang uttered an "Oh."

François glanced at the iron pen and mocked: "You can't even kill a poisonous mosquito. I doubt there's a weaker deceitful artifact than you on Canglan Star."

The deceitful artifact immediately retorted: "Useless François, you can't last even five minutes. Miss Adelle, I urge you to leave this useless man."

François was extremely embarrassed.

Adelle was blushing furiously.

Ambassador Zhang coughed and asked solemnly: "Mr. Engineer, is your ability language comprehension?"

The deceitful artifact let out a sigh: "This engineer finally encounters a human who knows the value."

Its tone took on a hint of pride: "Many deceitful artifacts have language comprehension abilities, but they only comprehend partially. I'm definitely the most comprehensive one."

The deceitful artifact took a side step on its former owner: "Only fools without brains or guts like François would think my ability is useless."

Ambassador Zhang pondered a bit, then said: "Mr. Engineer, you should know the Great Xia Ghost, right?"

The deceitful artifact replied: "Of course!"

François's heart skipped a beat.

This guy suddenly thought he might have greatly underestimated the deceitful artifact, as the Ambassador wouldn't mention Mr. Ghost without reason.

In other words, the other party likely believes the iron pen is useful for Mr. Ghost.

François's hunch was immediately confirmed.

Ambassador Zhang smiled and said: "Mr. Engineer, Mr. Ghost might be very interested in chatting with you."

A while ago, the ambassador received a secret mission from home—Mr. Ghost needs a supernatural object with language comprehension.

Given Mr. Ghost's status, the priority for the mission was set very high, along with an extremely high reward.

So when the ambassador encountered a deceitful artifact with language comprehension, the joy in his heart was indescribable.

*

Half an hour later.

François left the deceitful artifact behind and left the embassy with his girlfriend.

He didn't leave empty-handed but gained a lot.

Including:

Two Great Xia National IDs; two tickets for the next day's flight to Great Xia;

A hundred-square-meter house in Great Xia; two jobs with a monthly salary of ten thousand Xia Yuan;

All of the above.

Enough to give him a considerably comfortable life in Great Xia, much stronger than the Faelan Duchy.

So François was very satisfied.

He glanced back at the increasingly long queue at the embassy entrance, feeling an uncontrollable overflow of happiness in his heart.

Most of the time, happiness comes from comparison, and misfortune also stems from comparison.

François's tone carried a bit of yearning for the future: "From tomorrow, we will embrace a better life."

Adelle smiled and said: "I want to taste genuine Great Xia hotpot."

François nodded heavily: "Of course, no problem."

Adelle urged: "Darling, we need to hurry home and pack."

François took a few steps, suddenly remembered something, and pulled out his phone to open an app.

He glanced at it several times and sighed: "The Xia people didn't lie."

Adelle listened puzzled: "What do you mean?"

François showed the phone screen: "Except for Eastern Great Xia, the stocks of global major car companies have all crashed."

This is clearly the impact brought by the Super Crystal Battery.

And the stock market's reaction indirectly proves the Xia People's words are entirely true.

Adelle was not surprised: "The 22nd century belongs to Eastern Great Xia."

François was a bit emotional: "We are witnessing the arrival of a whole new era."

Shapudian.

Yang Fan learned some news.

The Great Xia Embassy in the Faelan Duchy obtained a deceitful artifact with language comprehension.

According to embassy tests, this item's ability to decipher text is extremely powerful.

Yang Fan gazed at the eerie image, asking: "When can the deceitful artifact be sent over?"

He had a hunch that this was what he needed.

Previously, he had killed Demon Monster Wan Shan and obtained a bone fragment of space items, which contained a green bone.

This is the Qing yang Demon Race's tome— the "Qing yang Book".

However, his ability couldn't decipher it, so he asked the nation to find an item to decipher the secret text.

Great Xia representative Zhuo Junyi smiled and said: "Mr. Ghost, this actually counts as a deceitful artifact you sought for yourself."

Yang Fan listened somewhat puzzled.

Zhuo Junyi explained: "The thing is..."

This representative narrated François's story in detail.

Yang Fan couldn't help but smile wryly.

In a certain sense, Zhuo Junyi's words weren't wrong.

If it wasn't for him exhibiting extraordinary supernatural abilities in front of the world, this iron pen wouldn't have gotten into his hands.
