Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 539 - 513: 500 Tons

Early the next morning, Chen Shouyi made a phone call and asked Bai Xiaoling to come over.

The time had quietly stepped into April.

The temperature had quickly warmed up.

Bai Xiaoling was wearing a dark fitted business suit, with a pair of black translucent stockings on her legs, which perfectly showcased her curvaceous figure.

"General Manager Chen, what do you need?"

"I have a batch of demigod meat to deal with. Do you have any suggestions?"

Bai Xiaoling wasn’t surprised upon hearing this. In a special interview with People’s Daily, General Manager Chen was known to have killed a demigod in another world. This had almost become common knowledge. Naturally, he wouldn’t let the demigod’s body go to waste, so he definitely had a lot on hand.

She thought for a moment and said, "The easiest and most hassle-free way is definitely to sell it to the provincial government. There’s no worry about the price."

Facing a legendary figure capable of slaying gods, trying to force a sale would undoubtedly be foolish. Hadn’t anyone seen so far that no one had come to General Manager Chen’s house demanding to seize the divine corpse under the guise of righteousness?

"I know that, but... wouldn’t the influence be a bit small!" Chen Shouyi said, looking a bit embarrassed.

Does more money still matter?

Whether it’s one billion, ten billion, or a hundred billion, it’s just a difference in numbers to him.

If it goes too far... his bedroom cabinet would not be able to hold it all.

Selling it to the provincial government would indeed be hassle-free, but it would be a complete black-box operation, similar to wearing fine clothes at night, creating no social impact at all!

Even though he wanted to keep a low profile, for the Faith Value, he was willing to hold his nose and reluctantly do it.

"Oh, I also have a batch of True God meat on hand, which can be sold to the government for procurement." As Chen Shouyi spoke, he picked up his teacup and took a sip of water.

Sometimes keeping a low profile is a skill.

Neither showing off nor speaking as if it were nothing, as though it were just as mundane as eating or drinking water, nothing worth mentioning.

It was really exhausting!

The True God meat harvested this time was quite a lot, weighing five hundred tons. Even if consumed at fifty pounds a day.

It could last for sixty years, until he was eighty years old.

It was simply too much.

Leaving a dozen tons would probably be enough.

Moreover, he was still in his strength-enhancing phase, so he was sure there would be more opportunities in the future.

Just as he put down the tea, he sensed a lack of response.

Looking up, he saw Bai Xiaoling with her mouth slightly open, and a look of utter shock on her face: "A... True God? You... you... you killed a True God?"

However, all these reactions were anticipated by Chen Shouyi.

"Actually, it was just a True God with Weak Divine Power, encountered in another world a few days ago!" Chen Shouyi humbly explained.

Bai Xiaoling was at a loss for words upon hearing this.

How could this be possible?

This was a True God!

No matter how powerful a person is, how could they contend with a True God from another world?

All known True Gods were brought down by nuclear bombs.

Unless...

She secretly glanced at Chen Shouyi, who was still as handsome and charming, not at all fearsome like a Barbarian God. She didn’t know what she thought of, but her face inexplicably reddened. She quickly averted her gaze and stammered, "How... how much True God meat, ap... approximately?"

"About five hundred tons!"

...

In Xinjing

An underground base more than a hundred meters deep.

In order to avoid any possible decapitation operations from another world, the highest wartime military authority of Great Xia Country was located deep underground.

The entire underground base was bustling with people coming and going, extremely busy.

Everyone was moving quickly.

In office number one.

An old man looked at a document, brows furrowed, and after a long glance, he prudently wrote "agree".

He rubbed his brow.

Then he stood up and looked at the map behind him.

The whole map was smeared with red, yellow, and green.

Most of it was still the safe green and the cautionary yellow, with only a few scattered red areas representing occupied zones, but these few spots were causing continuous bleeding for Great Xia Country.

The situation was ever-worsening; just like a gourd not being pressed down before the dipper floated up.

The entire Great Xia Country was like a heavily scarred, continuously bleeding giant, staggering forward, barely supporting itself.

This was the domestic situation, but beyond the borders, it was not stable either. Large areas controlled by the Barbarian Gods were beginning to watch Great Xia with intent.

Great Xia Country needed time to restore its technology, but he didn’t know if Great Xia Country could hold out until then!

Just then, a red secure line phone on the desk suddenly rang.

The elder turned and picked up the phone.

The call was from Jiangnan Province. He listened quietly for a while, and suddenly couldn’t suppress his excitement, asking aloud.

"What? Has it been confirmed?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

A high-ranking official from Jiangnan, a thousand miles away, holding the phone said, "Not confirmed yet, but as soon as I heard the news, I reported it. But according to his liaison officer, it was Chen Shouyi who said it himself, so it should be pretty accurate."

While rationality told him this was quite amazing and beyond normal comprehension.

If it had been someone else, even another legendary figure, he wouldn’t believe it at all.

However...

This was Chen Shouyi.

The founder of the Chen Clan’s cultivation method, who had already killed four demigods.

Killing another True God...

It seemed almost normal when you thought about it.

Actually, it was not normal at all!

Killing a demigod single-handedly had happened before, but killing a True God single-handedly was completely unprecedented, a historic first.

Like the development from nuclear fission power generation to nuclear fusion power generation.

Destined to be recorded in history.

"How much True God meat did you say there was just now? I didn’t catch it clearly. Could you repeat it?" The elder asked after digesting the news.

"According to him, it’s five hundred tons."

The elder was silent for a while and confirmed, "Five hundred tons?"

It wasn’t too little; it was too much.

Even though seven True God-level Barbarian Gods had been killed in the past two years, the harvest wasn’t much.

Most of the corpses were vaporized in the high-temperature zones of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of degrees during the nuclear explosion, and the residual divine corpses altogether amounted to less than a hundred tons, and much of it still retained lethal radiation, making it temporarily unusable.

Five hundred tons.

One couldn’t tell how many Martial Artists and scientists it could increase?

"It’s indeed five hundred tons!" The provincial official also became a bit unsure, glancing at the specially noted number in the notebook. It was indeed five hundred tons.

"Good work, very good!" The elder said with some excitement, "Also, be sure to pay attention to confidentiality work."

Intelligence indicated that recently, some foreign intelligence agents had clearly targeted Chen Shouyi.

Of course, not with ill intent.

No one could harm him anyway.

They just wanted to entice him over. If foreign intelligence agents learned that Chen Shouyi had such an amount of True God meat, they might act first. Even if apprehended, in the current situation where humanity is working together against the other world, probably there would still be a need to share some benefits and exchange interests, so it’s not good to be too strong-handed.

ps: Sorry, after visiting family for the holidays, the next update will be a bit delayed.
