I can find treasures in my dreams.

Just as Zhou Furui unexpectedly awakened his Yangyan superpower and was plunged into unprecedented ecstasy.

Yang Fan, accompanied by Miss Jia Na, quietly appeared in Lundin City, the capital of the Blue Lion Kingdom.

His purpose in this trip was naturally to find the remaining parts of the Dragon Abyss Shield and restore the high-grade treasure to its complete state.

The two are currently in a bar in the North District of Lundin.

In the early years of the Age of Natural Disasters, the whole world experienced a severe food shortage, and the Blue Lion Kingdom was no exception.

Because brewing requires grain, and with food prices soaring, many brewing-related businesses have gone bankrupt.

Naturally, the bar industry across the Blue Lion Islands experienced a surge in closures.

Recently, the Blue Lion Kingdom joined the Pioneer Alliance, imported millions of tons of grain from the Eastern Great Xia, and purchased a large amount of new agricultural equipment, accelerating the construction of indoor agriculture and greatly alleviating the problem of food shortage.

According to Blue Lion's official estimates, the food supply problem is expected to be completely solved within two years, at which time the people of Blue Lion will no longer have to worry about going hungry.

In contrast, the Great Xia Dynasty had already initially solved the food shortage problem in the second year of the natural disaster era, that is, three years ago, and this year it has further relaxed the purchase restrictions.

Based on this calculation, the Blue Lions were a full five years behind.

One more thing by the way.

Most interestingly, before the Age of Natural Disasters, the Blue Lion Kingdom considered itself a "developed country," while the Great Xia Kingdom called itself a "developing country."

Of course, no one in the world would be foolish enough to think that Great Xia is a developing country now.

On the contrary, the world recognizes Great Xia as the only "supreme point of civilization" on Azure Star.

on the other hand.

Because the people of Blue Lion enjoy drinking, bars are important social venues. In addition, the Blue Lion government has relaxed restrictions, so breweries of all sizes have started to appear one after another, and bars have sprung up in the city like mushrooms after rain.

Yang Fan used his "muscle control" ability to change his appearance, but not his skin color; it remained yellow.

Miss Jia Na used a secret technique to conceal her stunning appearance, so that when others saw her, they would subconsciously ignore her presence and would not remember what the mermaid actually looked like.

"Here is your water, gentlemen."

The waitress came over with a tray and said something very politely.

The three white men at the next table happened to hear this and all looked over.

After all, it's not common to go to a bar and drink water instead of alcohol.

One of the white men, who had an earring in his right ear, chuckled and said, "Yellow-skinned kid, aren't you an adult yet?"

The term "yellow-skinned boy" in this sentence carries a slight hint of contempt, but it doesn't quite reach the level of discrimination or insult.

Actually, the man with the earring wanted to shout "yellow-skinned monkey!" but he didn't have the guts.

Today, the influence of the Eastern Dragon is at its zenith, and many more Great Xia enterprises have entered the Blue Lion Kingdom, bringing with them many Great Xia faces to the three islands of Blue Lion.

Not long ago, the media in Lundin reported a story about a Daxia employee who was called a "yellow-skinned monkey" in a bar, and the Daxia employee immediately called the police.

When the police arrived at the scene, they made various statements that showed favoritism towards the locals, and even told the employees of the building "not to go to dangerous places in the future," revealing a blatant threat.

The police officer gave the insulter a verbal warning in a mild tone and then left. Even before the officer had gone far, the insulter shouted things like "Blue Lion Islands do not welcome yellow-skinned monkeys".

The Da Xia employees were furious, so they went directly to the Da Xia embassy for help.

Times have changed long ago. How could Great Xia still tolerate the Blue Lions?
The Great Xia government swiftly took a series of measures, suspending multiple negotiations with the Blue Lion Kingdom and simultaneously exerting pressure on the Blue Lions through diplomatic channels.

The Blue Lion Kingdom had just been hit by a tsunami, and the situation at home was already in a mess. How could it withstand the strong pressure exerted by the Great Xia?
In just one day, the Blue Lion Man obediently knelt down.

The insulter was arrested on the spot, the police officer who handled the matter was arrested for abuse of power, and a large number of officials from the local police station were dismissed. The Blue Lion Foreign Affairs Department humbly apologized to the Great Xia.

Even the bar where the incident occurred became collateral damage, and was permanently closed.

From then on, bars in Lundin City became more cautious whenever they saw customers who looked like they were from Great Xia.

at this time.

Yang Fan frowned and stared at the white-haired man with the earring: "I don't know you at all. Were you trying to cause trouble by saying that just now?"

Before the man with the white earring could say anything, a burly security guard who had been keeping an eye on the area quickly walked over and shouted at him, "Little John, if you dare to cause trouble, don't blame me for being impolite."

The white-haired man with the earring quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Of course I won't cause trouble here."

The burly security guard looked at Yang Fan again and asked in a friendly tone, "Sir, are you alright?"

Yang Fan shook his head and said, "It's nothing!"

The burly security guard added, "Sir, our bar is very safe. No one here can harass anyone. Please let me know if you need anything."

Yang Fan nodded and said, "Thank you!"

The white-haired man at the next table, who seemed to feel very embarrassed, quickly finished his beer and left with his companion.

After watching the skit quietly, Miss Jia Na said softly, "Your Azure Civilization is really interesting."

The mermaid then added, "If this were the Meijia Civilization, and you were a member of the Meijia royal family, anyone who dared to offend a member of the royal family like this would have to serve at least a hundred years of hard labor in the deep-sea mines."

Yang Fan said calmly, "This is not the Meijia Civilization." Miss Jia Na glanced at him, a hint of apology on her pretty face, "I understand you harbor resentment about what happened last time, but turning you into a supreme royal was Her Majesty Empress Jia Fei's order, not the intention of the Holy High Priest."

"The High Priest had a heated argument with Her Majesty the Queen over this matter. Her Majesty the Queen promised that she would absolutely respect your personal wishes in the future and would not do such a thing again."

Yang Fan raised an eyebrow: "I hope Meijia Civilization keeps its word."

He knew perfectly well that Meijia Wenming was doing this because she was eager to salvage the relationship, and whether her words were true or false remained to be seen.

The mermaid smiled sweetly: "His Majesty also said that, to express the royal family's apology, a gift will be given to you later, and this gift will definitely satisfy you."

Yang Fan didn't care about apologizing: "No need for gifts."

Miss Jia Na changed the subject: "Are you waiting for someone here?"

Yang Fan hummed in agreement: "Yes, he should be here soon."

The person he was waiting for was a researcher from the Royal Museum of the Blue Lion Kingdom, who had a very in-depth understanding of warhorse shields.

at this time.

A huge commotion suddenly erupted in the bar.

"Oh my God!"

“This is amazing!”

"The kingdom is doomed!"

All the guests' eyes were drawn to the television screen hanging on the wall.

A pretty female host was excitedly reporting a breaking news story.

"...If the people of the 'Sulan' and 'Weis' regions pass an independence referendum, then the Blue Lion Kingdom will become history."

"From now on, the three islands of Blue Lion will be divided into three independent countries. The Blue Lion Kingdom will only have one 'Grand' region left, which may have to be renamed the Grand Kingdom."

"The royal family has already dispatched members to the Suran and Wies regions to persuade local leaders to abandon the referendum."

"Because in times of natural disasters, only by uniting closely can the three islands of Blue Lion better meet the challenges of the future..."

Yang Fan immediately smiled.

This bombshell news, which shocked everyone in the bar, was undoubtedly the result of Da Xia's secret intervention.

Since the Age of Exploration hundreds of years ago, these white-skinned nations have been frantically plundering the world's resources, and ordinary people in these countries have enjoyed the benefits for hundreds of years.

Now that we've entered the era of superpowers, Great Xia naturally wants them to give back all the benefits they've gained in the past.

As the former world hegemon of the Gameni Federation, the Blue Lion Kingdom has committed numerous atrocities around the world.

After their national strength declined significantly, they played the role of troublemakers, creating numerous conflicts around the world. The Great Xia people were thoroughly disgusted by the Blue Lions back then.

It was precisely because of this that the Blue Lion Kingdom became the first country to be severely punished by the Great Xia.

For many years, the Sulan and Weis regions have maintained a superficial relationship with the Blue Lion Royal Family. The Great Xia Dynasty only secretly promised to support their joining the Expansion Alliance, but these two regions couldn't wait to jump out.

After all, the Sulan and Weis people aren't stupid. Since they can directly follow the "leading brother" Daxia, why should they follow the Gran people and let the Gran people handle all the benefits first?

Therefore, the Blue Lion Kingdom is destined to become a historical term.

Miss Jia Na turned her gaze away from the television and said, "Is this the strategy of Great Xia in integrating Azure Star? First, dismantle each country, then chew them up and swallow them whole?"

Yang Fan nodded and said, "Yes."

The mermaid readily admitted her past mistakes: "My initial suggestion was for the Azure people to unite, but it seems that this approach won't work. The methods of your Great Xia people are more in line with the actual situation of Azure Star."

at this time.

Yang Fan's gaze flickered and drifted toward a figure who had just entered the bar.

This is an old man with gray hair and typical Grammar features, such as a broad forehead, deep-set eyes, and a high nose.

The old man had just entered the door when he heard a deafening commotion and was immediately taken aback.

He looked at the television screen again and saw the subtitles "Referendum in the Suran and Weis regions," and instantly understood everything.

The old man shook his head, sighed, went to the bar to ask the bartender for a drink, and found an empty seat to sit down.

At his age, he has seen through many things, so he doesn't act like many people in bars have lost their parents.

The old man had just taken a sip when a figure appeared in the empty seat opposite him.

It was Yang Fan.

The old man glanced at it, first showing surprise, then whistled: "Look what I see, a superior person actually condescending to sit with a lowly person like me."

The so-called "upper class" naturally refers to the people of Daxia.

This statement was clearly a joke, mixed with a hint of hostility, but not too much; otherwise, the old man would have stood up and left long ago.

Although we can't afford to offend the Great Xia people, we can at least avoid them. (End of Chapter)
