My whole family is involved in diplomacy, so you dare to flex your muscles?

Scott felt his head buzzing, as if he had been hit hard with a sledgehammer.

Smash the rules?

How dare he say such a thing?

This is a set of rules that the Western world has established for hundreds of years!

From patent law to trade agreements, which one isn't designed to protect the interests of capital?

Which one isn't meant to keep the strong strong?

Now Gu Yun is actually saying he wants to smash it?

"Judges! Aren't you going to do anything about this?" Scott, like a wronged child, turned to the judges' panel for help.

"He's cheating! He's exploiting a system loophole! How could anyone do that in real life? Giving away hundreds of billions in profits? That's not human! That doesn't conform to economic principles!"

Professor Hamilton's face was extremely grim.

As a professor at Cambridge, he spent his entire life studying how to use rules to reap the rewards of the world. Gu Yun's "table-flipping" move completely destroyed his theoretical system.

"Ahem..." Hamilton cleared his throat, trying to regain some ground. "Mr. Gu Yun, although your intentions are good, in reality, such large-scale free aid is unsustainable. Your national finances will collapse, your pharmaceutical companies will go bankrupt, and your citizens will be angry about the outflow of resources..."

"Professor, do you have some misunderstanding about the 'national system'?"

Gu Yun interrupted him directly, showing him no respect whatsoever.

He quickly operated the console a few times, bringing up China's internal data panel and displaying it directly on the large screen.

"Look carefully."

"The moment I announced that the vaccine would be free, my public approval rating not only didn't drop, but actually rose by 15%!"

On the big screen, the curve representing public satisfaction was indeed shooting up like a rocket.

"Why?" Hamilton's eyes widened in disbelief. "This doesn't make sense! You're using taxpayers' money to subsidize foreigners, why are they happy about it?"

"Because you don't understand the Chinese people." Gu Yun's voice carried a hint of pride. "Because our people know that if we help others today, others will help us tomorrow."

Because we know that in this global village, no one can remain unaffected. And also because…

Gu Yun paused, his eyes becoming incredibly deep.

"Because we are taught from a young age that 'when you are successful, you should help others.' We feel bad when we see others suffering; we feel proud when we see our country saving lives. This kind of spiritual satisfaction is something that you so-called 'rational people' who only know how to focus on your wallets can never understand."

Well said! Brother Gu is awesome! I'd donate my salary!

Exactly! We Chinese value loyalty and honor! Unlike those robbers, who are only interested in money!

Hamilton was completely dumbfounded. He probably believes that humans are inherently selfish.

This is the difference in perspective! How can a sparrow understand the ambitions of a swan?

Within the simulation system, the situation is undergoing a dramatic transformation.

Because China's vaccines are free and its technology is publicly available, Asian, African, and Latin American countries that were previously left with no choice but to wait for death have quickly taken action.

Factories in Africa began to roar back to life, producing vaccines according to blueprints provided by China. Transport planes took off from South America, laden with hope from the East.

The world map, which was originally all red, began to show large areas of green safe zones.

On the other hand, the Western camp, led by the United States, also known as the "Blue Team," is now in unprecedented chaos.

Because Scott's pricing was too high, only the rich could afford the vaccine, while the poor could only wait to die.

And so, the riots began.

On the large screen, simulated news footage flashed continuously:

[Breaking News! Large-scale protests erupt in New York, with demonstrators chanting "We want to survive, not profits!"]

[Fire breaks out in the streets of Paris as people storm pharmacies and loot vaccines!]

Tens of thousands of people surrounded Downing Street in London, demanding that the government learn from China and provide vaccines for free!

The previously relatively stable Western society has been completely torn apart by this "expensive" vaccine.

"No! This isn't right! The system is malfunctioning!" Scott, sweating profusely, watched his country's chaos index skyrocket. "Where are my police? Where is my army? Suppress them! Suppress them now!"

He frantically clicked on the console, issuing orders to deploy the National Guard.

But it didn't work.

When the right to survival is threatened, any repression is futile.

Even the soldiers in charge of the crackdown began to riot because their own families couldn't afford vaccines.

"Gu Yun! You're exporting revolution!" Scott roared desperately. "You're deliberately destabilizing our country!"

"I didn't do anything." Gu Yun spread his hands, looking completely innocent. "I just gave the world a choice. It was your greed that led you to set such a high price, leaving your people with no other options. Is it my fault?"

At this moment, Pierre, who had remained silent until then, finally broke down when he saw the appalling statistics of his country.

[France requests to join China's "Nuwa" vaccine aid program! France is willing to offer an Airbus aircraft production line in exchange!]

[Germany requests access! Germany is willing to open its Industry 4.0 technology interfaces!]

Italy, Spain, Greece...

The Western camp that had originally stood behind Scott collapsed like dominoes.

He was abandoned by everyone.

Scott stood there all alone, looking at the empty seats behind him, and then at the crowded "friends circle" around Gu Yun across from him.

He clutched the virtual document that read "Vaccine Patent Protection" tightly in his hand; at that moment, the paper seemed like a joke.

Gu Yun looked at him, her eyes showing no victor's elation, only a detached indifference that came from seeing through the ways of the world.

"Scott, do you remember what I said before?"

"Make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible."

"You treat the whole world as prey, and in the end, you become the only one left."

Gu Yun tapped a few times lightly at the control panel.

[The request from the Gallic Kingdom has been accepted.]

[Germany's request has been accepted.]

【accept……】

The simulation has entered its final stage.

With countries turning against China, the global landscape of the fight against the pandemic has completely changed.

China's transport aircraft fleet has become the busiest sight in the sky.

They were fully loaded with vaccines, protective suits, and ventilators, flying over the Himalayas, the Indian Ocean, and across Eurasia.

On the ground, teams of Chinese medical workers, dressed in white protective suits and carrying bright red five-star flags, entered African tribes, South American slums, and even European communities.

This scene was faithfully reproduced on the big screen by the simulation system.

It was an extremely shocking visual impact.

On one side is the United States, a country with the most advanced technology, but due to chaos and internal strife, its cities are engulfed in flames, the rich tremble in their fortresses, and the poor die in despair on the streets.

On the other side is the world under the leadership of China. Although it is still struggling against the virus, it is orderly and helps each other.

People of different skin colors and languages ​​work together under the same flag for the same goal.

This is not only a victory for data, but also a victory for civilization.

"This is impossible...this is absolutely impossible..." Scott slumped into his chair, his eyes vacant.

On his control panel, all the data for the United States had turned red.

Economic collapse, social disintegration, and a death toll exceeding one million.

That once invincible superpower collapsed in the face of the simulated apocalypse.

What caused all this was not the virus itself, but arrogance and greed.

"System, end the simulation," Gu Yun said calmly.

He didn't want to watch anymore.

Although it was a simulation, behind each death toll was a vibrant life.

He didn't think there was anything to brag about.

Host Mark glanced at the production team, while director Frank looked equally conflicted backstage.

These ratings... are amazing!

The number of people online worldwide has surpassed 15 billion! This is a miracle in the history of television!

"Okay...okay!" Mark took a deep breath. "Simulation complete! Final scores are being tallied!"

The image on the large screen froze, and then various data began to scroll.

[First Place: China]

Survival rate: 99.8%

[Economic retention rate: 95%]

[Global Contribution: SSS Level (Light of Humanity)]

Second place: Lion Country (due to receiving full aid from China)

……

[Last Place: The Beacon of Light]

Survival rate: 65%

[Economic retention rate: 30%]

[Global Contribution Level: F (Disaster Creator)]

When the rankings were announced, the audience didn't erupt in applause; instead, they fell into an eerie silence.

It was too tragic.

The data, especially from the United States, is practically a death sentence.

Scott stared at the glaring "F-rated" sign, his whole body trembling. He knew he was finished.

Not only did he lose this game, but his political future in the country is also over.

He represented the elite class of the United States and lost face in front of the whole world.

"I refuse to accept this!"

Scott suddenly jumped up, as if in a final burst of energy, and pointed at Gu Yun, yelling.

"This is just a simulation! It's fake! There's something wrong with the program you set up! In reality, we have the most powerful army, we have the dollar hegemony, we couldn't possibly lose this badly!"

His hysterical state resembled that of a gambler who had lost everything.

Gu Yun looked at him, her eyes even showing a hint of pity.

"Scott, don't you understand yet?"

"The military can kill people, but it can't kill a virus. Dollars can buy goods, but they can't buy hearts and minds."

"Those 'hard powers' you've always been so proud of are as fragile as a sheet of paper in the face of real natural disasters. What truly allows a civilization to continue is unity, sacrifice, and reverence for life."

Gu Yun pointed to the image on the big screen of the Chinese medical team heading to the front lines.

"Look at these backs."

"They are ordinary people too, someone's son, someone's father. But when disaster struck, they chose to rush forward and stand in front of everyone."

"This is what we Chinese are like."

"We do not believe in God, we do not believe in God."

Because when the flood came, our ancestor Yu the Great chose to control the flood.

When the plague struck, Shennong chose to taste hundreds of herbs.

"Our mythology does not contain stories like Noah's Ark, which only saves one family."

We only have Jingwei filling the sea, Yu Gong moving mountains, and Nuwa patching up the sky!

We believe that human determination can overcome nature!

We believe in unity!
