Hearing Lin Qiubai's words, President Huang wiped the cold sweat from his palms, and finally a smile appeared on his face: "As long as it doesn't harm the interests of the nation and the people, and doesn't disrupt social stability, we will do our best to meet your requests."

It's not scary if there are demands; what's scary is if he desires nothing!

There are things on Earth that Lin Qiubai wants, which is a good sign!

Old Huang finally had a slight sense that "the situation is still under control."

Lin Qiubai has appeared twice, speaking not much, yet he has established an image of a person passionate about the sword in Old Huang's mind.

Thinking this way, the conditions he proposes should be all knowledge related to the sword on Earth, right?

Although Huang Weiguo didn't say much to Lin Qiubai, in his impression, Lin Qiubai was already an exceptional figure.

As an extraterrestrial visitor, he taught himself Chinese from scratch and was able to engage in fluent conversation.

This shows that Lin Qiubai has an extremely strong learning ability.

Receiving a gift that is of little use to him, he immediately gave a return worth ten million times more.

From this angle, the Seven Whirling Sword Sect under Lin Qiubai's command is somewhat like the Golden Tang of the medieval period, accustomed to being the "giver."

Perhaps it's hard for him to feel, but the aura of that pride has already permeated his character.

The most commendable is...

Lin Qiubai's thinking is not rigid.

He is neither arrogant nor complacent.

From Lin Qiubai's speech, the bigwigs in the video team could tell that this person already had some understanding of Earth's sciences.

Even if not profound, he definitely isn't confined to the surface.

Lin Qiubai is someone who treasures "knowledge" immensely!

He knows what his feedback means, how valuable it is!

At this moment, Huang Weiguo and the bigwigs in the video meeting group were left speechless, their emotions complex to the extreme, and even somewhat moved.

Having encountered too many unreliable allies, they realized how precious a strategic partner like Lin Qiubai truly is!

Not just Old Huang, but most other presidents made similar predictions.

They believed Lin Qiubai might want to leverage China's power to gather all knowledge related to swords on Earth.

It turned out they guessed wrong.

Lin Qiubai clearly and firmly stated: "I want hybrid rice seeds."

???

What does he want that for?

Wan Haihao, who had been quietly acting as an invisible presence, was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

He suddenly felt that Lin Qiubai's persona was slightly collapsing.

Wasn't this guy obsessed with Sword Dao, with nothing else in his heart?

Or...

Is there some secret hidden in the hybrid rice?

Or perhaps Lin Qiubai owed a favor and needs to repay it with hybrid rice?

Wan Haihao shook his head.

He just took his anti-depression medicine, so his emotion is relatively stable now.

He won't overthink things he can't understand.

In time, the truth will be revealed.

Before Earthlings start guessing wildly, Lin Qiubai calmly explained: "Since I can remember, in the past century on Cangming Star, there were ninety-three floods, eighty-seven droughts, and fifty-eight earthquakes."

"Forty-six windstorms, seventy-two hail disasters, sixty-five locust plagues, one hundred thirty-nine frost and snow incidents, and fifteen pandemics."

"The world's temperature dropped sharply, crop yields decreased, and famine was widespread."

"Although I managed the Seven Whirling Sword Sect, coordinated manpower, planned efficiently, and allocated resources, human efforts have limits."

"A century ago, when Cangming Star's population was eighty million, I handled it with ease."

"A hundred years later, with the Seven Whirling Sword Sect's protection, the Human Race flourished to four hundred million, I find my strength exhausted."

"Hybrid rice, high yield and cold-tolerant, for Cangming Star..."

"It's of extraordinary significance."

What he said is true, but from Lin Qiubai's words, there wasn't a trace of despondency; instead, it gave people a feeling of having no regrets.

The presidents of various Academic Societies didn't discuss for long before giving their response.

The seeds of hybrid rice, we'll give them!

Moreover, various technological data useful for a small ice age, we'll prepare a copy for Lin Qiubai!

If Lin Qiubai truly can transfer materials and messages between Cangming Star and Earth...

Then in the face of future extraterrestrial invasions, China will no longer be isolated and helpless.

Beside him, Wan Haihao, upon hearing this, finally came to his senses.

Thinking deeply, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, feeling a shiver down his spine.

The bigwigs above reacted very quickly!

The natural disasters Lin Qiubai just mentioned are just equivalent to Earth's small ice age, aren't they?

In this light...

Lin Qiubai can indeed be called a person who "contends with the heavens."

Had it been Wan Haihao, with such achievements, he might be even more arrogant than Lin Qiubai!

Although he felt in his heart that Lin Qiubai's persona was faltering, he nonetheless developed a sense of reverence.

This fellow usually never strays from the topic of swords, devoid of any human warmth, but now, from just a few words, Wan Haihao recalled some of Lin Qiubai's life.

Lin Qiubai is not a cold, sword-training robot.

Even in a foreign land, this Sword Master still thinks about benefiting his kin and protecting the Humans on Cangming Star.

This made Wan Haihao feel for the first time something tangible: the entity residing within him was once a living person, with life experiences and ideologies.

Lin Qiubai, initially unapproachable and seemingly walking in the clouds, suddenly plunged into the human world, gaining a touch of human warmth.

Ultimately, the predicament facing Cangming Star is mostly to blame on natural disasters.

As for scarce resources and insufficient implementation of family planning, that's an unsolvable issue.

After all, Lin Qiubai wasn't born on Earth, and didn't receive nine years of compulsory education. Achieving this degree should no longer be described with the word "excellent."

In the past month, under Xiao Ming's instigation, Wan Haihao had read quite a bit of "Extraordinary Fantasy Material."

Whenever Wan Haihao saw the phrase "defying the heavens," he couldn't help but laugh.

Sometimes he would automatically replace the term with "cerebral palsy" in his mind.

Now, Wan Haihao finally learned what defying the heavens truly means.

Lin Qiubai's few words had already painted an epic picture of the development of extraterrestrial Human Race in his mind.

"If my fate lies in my own hands, only then can I grow golden lotuses in fire..."

Wan Haihao's voice was indistinct, like a whisper in sleep.

A moment later, he patted his own face, looked at Lin Qiubai, and his tone had markedly changed from before: "Sword Master..."

"Do you have a way back to Cangming Star?"

Lin Qiubai did not answer, leaving it unclear if he was affirming or denying.

Wan Haihao wasn't discouraged, shifted his tone, and continued the conversation: "Earlier you mentioned that the Seven Whirling Sword Sect manages the allocation of all materials, which looks fairest but is actually unfair."

"Humans are selfish; surely some don't want to listen to your arrangements, right?"

"Or outwardly respectful but insincere, pretending to work but putting in no effort."

Lin Qiubai seemed to reevaluate Wan Haihao, looking him up and down, nodded slightly, and calmly said: "Naturally, there are."

His calm tone resonated with a potent sense of bloodiness: "From the fifth year of my leadership of the Seven Whirling Sword Sect, everyone knows..."

"Only the dead can refuse my kindness."
