I started by watching videos, and I chose 10,000 combat power.

Luo Fei glanced at Elder Long and began to answer the questions one by one.

Facing a room full of the highest-ranking leaders of the Dragon Kingdom, he spoke in a calm tone, as if chatting with a neighbor.

He answered each question concisely and directly, without beating around the bush or piling up fancy words; if he could explain it in one word, he would never use two.

Director Qin asked him if the Wan Nian Jun could be mass-produced, and if more spacecraft of the same class could be built in a short period of time, would it be possible to win by sheer numbers?

Luo Fei thought for a moment and said, "The core technology of the spaceship cannot be replicated by the existing industrial base of Earth. The material synthesis alone requires several orders of magnitude more energy and processing precision than we do now."

Elder Long didn't ask any questions. He listened carefully to Luo Fei's answers to other people's questions, nodding slightly occasionally, frowning slightly, and occasionally letting his gaze linger on Luo Fei's face.

After everyone had finished asking their questions, a brief silence fell over the conference room.

Elder Long spoke.

Everyone shifted their attention from Luo Fei to him.

"Xiao Luo, I have a very crucial question for you."

He paused, tapping his finger lightly on the table. "With your single spaceship, can you withstand an invasion by an alien fleet?"

Luo Fei looked at him without hesitation or deliberately stalling for time to create suspense: "We can't hold them off with just spaceships. One ship against thirty is too many, and their ships' technology level is probably even higher than the Ten Thousand Year Falcon."

The atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy.

Some people lowered their heads, some shifted their gaze elsewhere, and some let out a soft breath.

"but."

As soon as Luo Fei uttered those two words, everyone's gaze instantly returned to his face: "With me here, there's nothing to worry about."

No one spoke. Luo Fei glanced around at everyone present, his gaze sweeping across each face, not in a hurry to continue, as if waiting for them to process his words.

"The reason for telling the entire planet about this via live stream is not to create panic. It's to take this opportunity to completely integrate all countries and forces on Earth."

"The people of Earth have been fighting for too long. They've been fighting and fighting, but all they've fought for is a piece of land, a sea area, some resources, and some say in the world."

"Now that aliens have arrived, they won't care how many countries the planet is divided into, or which countries are enemies with which other countries. They only care about one thing—the resources on this planet and the people on this planet."

"This is an opportunity for the people of Earth to raise their gaze from their own small plot of land and look towards the stars and the sea."

Elder Long remained silent for a moment.

"What do you plan to do?" Old Dragon asked.

Luo Fei said, "Tomorrow, we'll have the leaders of all the countries on Earth come to Kyoto for a meeting. We'll discuss how to integrate resources, how to divide the work and cooperate, and how to maximize Earth's defense capabilities in the remaining one hundred days."

He glanced at Director Qin, then looked at Elder Long, "If the transportation conditions in some countries do not allow the leaders to arrive on time, my spaceship can go and pick them up."

Old Master Long nodded without hesitation.

He turned to Director Qin: "Notify all countries that a global emergency meeting will be held in Kyoto tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM. All top leaders are requested to attend; absence is not permitted. The meeting will have only one agenda item—responding to an alien invasion."

Director Qin nodded and quickly jotted it down in his notebook.

Luo Fei took his phone out of his pocket, placed it on the table, and said into the phone, "Xiao Wan, install a sub-program on the phones of all the leaders present for easy emergency contact."

He didn't ask for anyone's opinion, and his tone was casual. It wasn't that he was disrespectful; it was that he knew no one present would refuse.

Xiao Wan's voice came from the phone: "Received. Communication subroutine installed."

Everyone present felt their phones vibrate at the same time.

Someone took it out to look, and there was an icon on the screen. It had no name, only a silver-white spaceship outline.

Director Qin picked up his phone, looked at the icon over and over again, and hesitated to press it while his finger hovered above the screen.

Luo Fei said, "It's fine to open it; it's just a normal communication interface. Please try it."

Director Qin tapped the screen, and a dialog box popped up with only one line of text: "Hello, Director Qin. I am Xiao Wan, the artificial intelligence of the 'Eternal Falcon'. How can I help you?"

Director Qin stared at the words for several seconds, then flipped his phone over and placed it face down on the table. As he did so, his knuckles tapped against the back of the phone, making a soft sound.

Luo Fei stood up.

"I'm going back now. My parents watched the live stream too, so I need to go back and reassure them. I'll be on time for the meeting tomorrow. You can discuss and arrange the reception of the world leaders with Xiao Wan."

He bowed slightly to Elder Long, nodded in the direction of Director Qin, and with a thought, disappeared from the conference room.

Old Master Long sat in his chair, his hands still resting flat on the table, his fingers slightly spread.

A leader next to him asked in a low voice, "Mr. Long, how should we phrase things for the leaders of various countries?"

Old Long said, "To tell you the truth, aliens are coming. Not attending the meeting is tantamount to abandoning your country and people. Write that sentence verbatim into the notice."

Luo Fei teleported back to his own courtyard in Liuxi Village.

The roses in the yard are in full bloom.

Li Xiulan, Luo Weidong, and Zhao Lin stood in the center of the courtyard, all three pairs of eyes turning to the suddenly appearing Luo Fei.

Li Xiulan's lips trembled slightly.

Luo Fei stepped forward, stood in front of his mother, and said gently, "Mom, it's okay, I'm here."

Li Xiulan had a smile on her face.

She reached out and slapped Luo Fei's arm hard, much harder than usual, but Luo Fei didn't flinch.

Zhao Lin stood beside Li Xiulan, looking up at Luo Fei with a slight downturn at the corners of her mouth.

She asked softly, "Brother, will aliens really come?"

Luo Fei looked at her and said only one word: "Yes."

Zhao Lin's lips curled even lower. She lowered her head and stared at the tips of her shoes. After a long while, she looked up at Luo Fei and asked earnestly, "Can I still continue practicing?"

Luo Fei answered with a single word, "Yes," and Zhao Lin's lips finally curled into a smile.

Chu Yue walked in from outside the courtyard. She wasn't wearing her training uniform, but rather casual clothes, with her hair loosely draped over her shoulders.

She had run all the way here and was still slightly out of breath.

She watched the live broadcast from her base and saw Luo Fei blast Saturn's moon Titan with a particle cannon, and she also witnessed the astonishing power of the cannon on the spaceship.

As soon as the live stream ended, she rushed to Liuxi Village.

She stood in front of Luo Fei, her lips moving several times, but in the end she only said softly, "Luo Fei, I believe in you."

Luo Fei nodded and simply said, "Continue practicing."

In the afternoon, the reactions from China and other countries around the world were much faster than he had anticipated.

The announcement from the Dragon Kingdom was released within half an hour after the live broadcast ended.

The announcement was very concise, without any official jargon or vague statements, directly informing the public that the extraterrestrial civilization's fleet was expected to arrive on Earth in one hundred days.

The Chinese government has activated its emergency response mechanism and is coordinating with the international community on a response plan.

The announcement also urged the public to remain calm, not to panic, not to believe or spread rumors, and not to hoard daily necessities.

The government will ensure sufficient supply of goods and price stability.

The announcement concluded with a solemn declaration: "Any act of price gouging, hoarding, or spreading rumors will be punished to the fullest extent of the law once verified, without any leniency."

In the comments section, someone asked, "What does 'maximum penalty' mean?"

One person replied, "They will punish you according to the highest standard stipulated, without showing any leniency!"

Countries around the world have also issued similar announcements, and although the wording varies, the core content is basically the same.

The general public need not panic; the overall situation remains under control.

However, many people in the comments section expressed doubt about the claim that "everything is under control".

After learning about the situation through the live stream, everyone felt that the young man's account was more credible.

At the same time, panic buying of goods occurred in some countries, and several "zero-dollar purchase" incidents took place in other countries.

Several regions on Earth that were previously in conflict ceased hostilities almost simultaneously.

In the Middle East, multiple factions simultaneously announced an unconditional ceasefire and troop withdrawal.

They didn't suddenly become peace-loving; rather, they had all watched the live broadcast and were aware of the young man's warning—that continuing the fire would lead to sanctions.

No one wants to be sanctioned, and no one wants to become the next Iapetus.

Compared to survival, war and hatred suddenly seemed less important.

-

Luo Fei was in the courtyard instructing Chu Yue and Zhao Lin on practicing the third set of movements.

Zhao Lin trained even more diligently than usual today, striving to push herself to the limit in every movement, and persevering even when her muscles trembled slightly.

Chu Yue noticed her unusual behavior, but did not ask why or advise her to rest.

When Zhao Lin's movements became distorted, he gently held her shoulder to help her correct her posture.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Lin came out of the bathroom after taking a medicinal bath. Her cheeks were flushed, and her wet hair clung to her face. She changed into clean clothes and sat in the courtyard, waiting for Luo Yumei to come and pick her up.

When Luo Yumei arrived, she was pale and had dark circles under her eyes.

She's been very busy with work lately, and after watching Luo Fei's live stream this morning, she's feeling like a string that's been taut for a long time.

She walked up to Luo Fei and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Xiao Fei, is everything you said in your live stream true?"

Luo Fei looked at her and replied, "It's true, but don't worry, I'm here."

Luo Yumei stared into his eyes for several seconds, then nodded.

She didn't say anything more, took Zhao Lin's hand, and got into the car with her daughter.

As the car started and drove out of the yard, Zhao Lin leaned out of the window, waved to Luo Fei, and called out, "Brother, I'll come again next weekend."

The next morning, Luo Fei was still lying in bed with his eyes closed when his phone rang.

Xiao Wan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Captain, Israel launched a surprise attack on Iraqi ports and airfields late last night. The air and missile attacks lasted for about two hours, causing heavy losses to Iraq. As of now, Israel has not made any official statement on the matter."
