The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

Ji Bai's global live stream!

The message, released through the official account, was like a bomb dropped simultaneously on all social media platforms within minutes.

As soon as the domestic platform started broadcasting, the number of viewers instantly exceeded 10, and the barrage of comments filled the entire screen.

"Holy crap! Season God is alive!"

"I cried, I cried! He finally showed up! I knew Ji Shen was alright!"

"The Ji Clan endures! The Ancestor emerges from seclusion!"

"Who said Ji Shen was seriously injured and couldn't be cured? Come out and take your punishment! Look at his energy, he's even better than me when I've been playing games all night!"

"Look at the background! A laboratory! Definitely a laboratory! I have a feeling we're about to witness history again!"

"Last time they did a live stream of them making a superconducting ball at room temperature; this time they're probably going to make a Dyson sphere by hand!"

"Weren't you making such a fuss online before? Saying things like 'Ji Bai is dead' and 'China is covering up the truth'? And now? Doesn't your face hurt? I'm asking you, doesn't your face hurt!"

"The Emperor's dark circles look a bit distressing. He hasn't shown his face for over ten days, he must be preparing something big. Brothers, hold on tight, something big is probably going to happen today."

"The Martial Star has returned to its position! The Literary Star has returned to its position! All constellations have returned to their positions! We respectfully welcome the Great Emperor's arrival!"

The comments section was filled with joy, even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

The anxiety that had been building for over ten days instantly subsided when I saw the boy's familiar face.

……

Overseas platforms have also stirred up a huge wave.

While the number of viewers wasn't as frenzied as in China, behind the screen stood figures at the very top of the pyramid.

Due to the time difference, it is 2 or 3 a.m. Eastern Time in the United States, while it is still dark in most parts of Europe.

But all the important figures involved were summoned by his subordinates.

Ji Bai's global live stream is definitely the most sensational thing right now.

In the Pentagon's underground command center, a dozen intelligence officers stared intently at the large screen.

"Fuck! He was in the lab after all! He definitely wasn't resting during those ten days or so!"

"Immediately notify the technical department to analyze the equipment in the footage frame by frame to see if there are any traces of military application!"

In an office within MI6, on the eve of the British Empire, a sharp-eyed intelligence officer put down his coffee cup, projected the live broadcast onto the wall-mounted monitor in the conference room, and then pressed the intercom button:

"Notify all analysts in the East Asia team to proceed to Conference Room 3 within ten minutes. The target has made a public appearance, with a laboratory in the background. We need to conduct a real-time assessment of any technological achievements he may present next."

"Priority—Highest!"

When he said "the highest," his tone was exactly the same as when he received a report from a certain country about its test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile.

And then there's Japan, South Korea, and India—the same scenes are playing out in their respective technology and intelligence departments.

The major conglomerates and families are even more nervous.

Morgan, Rockefeller, DuPont, Mitsui, Hausen...

These names never appear on any public live stream viewership rankings, but their respective intelligence analysis departments all connected to the live stream signal at the same time.

A boy's live stream captivated everyone's attention.

……

At the Hausen family estate, Richard Hausen sat on the sofa, watching a live stream on his phone.

"Father, I've made arrangements. Hundreds of overseas accounts are working together to create a stir, forcing him to disclose his patents and grant them free licenses."

"Of course I know he can't really go public, but it's still okay for him to disgust China and stir up public opinion."

Old Hausen sat opposite him, slowly sipping his cigar, and smiled slightly: "Well done, my child. The war of public opinion is also a war."

"I believe that the Hausen family will be even more glorious in your hands than it was in my generation."

Richard's smile grew even more smug.

"Thank you, Father!"

……

Our gaze returned to the laboratory at Ji Bai Research Institute.

The boy, wearing a loose white lab coat, stood beside the lab table and casually waved at the camera.

Hello everyone, it's been a long time.

"I heard there are rumors that I'm dead?"

Ji Bai raised an eyebrow, his tone casually teasing: "Sorry to disappoint some people, I'm not only alive, but living quite well."

The Douyin live stream room instantly exploded.

"So cool! So cool! Ji Shen's aura is amazing!"

"Our ancestor's immortal appearance remains unchanged! He has emerged from seclusion with even greater strength!"

"Hilarious! This directly refutes conspiracy theories circulating online!"

"Enough with the nonsense, Ancestor! Hurry up and spread the teachings! I'm ready to reshape the worldview!"

"Little Sunflower Mom's Classroom is Now Open!"

"Did the Emperor just wake up? His hair is still a little sticky, so cute, I want to pet it."

"Your Majesty, I bow in reverence! I have prepared my notebook, and today I am ready to follow you in opening the Heavenly Gate once more!"

The barrage of comments—some making jokes, some gushing over the characters, and others asking for insider information—spread rapidly, causing the barrage to surge in popularity and climb straight to the top of the entire site's charts.

……

Compared to the excitement and fervor in China, TikTok had a completely different atmosphere.

"Free access to room-temperature superconducting patents! Science knows no borders!"

"This is a treasure for all mankind; China cannot keep it all to itself!"

"We urge Mr. Ji Bai to open up technology licensing to benefit people worldwide!"

"Monopolizing superconducting technology is an act against humanity! The whole world should unite to boycott it!"

"Yes! If China doesn't release this information for free, then let's boycott China together!"

"I will no longer buy any items made in China!"

……

Ji Bai glanced at the overseas comments and suddenly smiled.

It's obvious what's going on with these comments.

This person is absolutely disgusting!

Want to play dirty tricks, huh?

good good!

Don't cry later!

The boy turned slightly to the side, facing the TikTok camera, and switched to fluent English.

"You want a free patent, huh?"

"OK!"

"Watch closely!"

These two short sentences instantly went viral on the international internet.

"What did he say? He agreed?!"

"God! Is it really going to be released for free?!"

"China has finally compromised! This is a victory for all mankind!"

The live chat went wild instantly, with countless people cheering and jumping for joy, as if they had already gotten a huge bargain.

Richard Hausen looked at the screen, couldn't help but chuckle, and shook his head.

He really has the temper of a child; he couldn't resist a few words of provocation.

I only intended to be disgusting, but I didn't expect to have an unexpected reward.

If they really force him to release it for free, the Chinese side will probably be furious.

……

The domestic audience couldn't understand English, and they immediately became anxious.

Fortunately, there was a great translator providing real-time translation, and the chat exploded with comments as soon as they appeared.

"What? Free to publish?"

"No, Ji Shen! Don't fall for it! These foreigners are wicked!"

"We can't give it away for free! This is our own technology! Why should we give it to them!"

"Ji Shen, calm down! Don't fall for my provocation!"

"Ancestor, don't be impulsive!"

The screen was filled with words of dissuasion, and everyone was worried for Ji Bai.

……

In a conference room in Beijing.

Several bigwigs were leisurely watching the live stream while holding teacups.

When they heard Ji Bai say "free and open to the public," no one was nervous; instead, they all laughed.

"This little kid is teasing foreigners again."

"That kid is so clever, how could he possibly suffer such a loss?"

"Looks like we're in for another surprise."

"I wonder which company will be unlucky this time."

The bigwigs exchanged smiles, picked up their teacups, took a sip, and their eyes were full of understanding and anticipation.

Others may not know, but how could they not know?

This young man may look young, but he's got a sharper mind than anyone else.

You mean free?

That would definitely mean digging a hole first, then burying the person.

It all depends on whether the foreigners dare to jump.
