To ensure a smooth process, he did not rush to show up after arriving in Russia. Instead, he randomly found a park and sat on the grass to sort out possible variables.
The whole plan will not encounter too many obstacles.
The existence of the extraordinary has been recognized by everyone on Blue Star. Unless a fatal flaw appears, no one will suspect that the extraordinary is fabricated.
Therefore, if Zhang Mu wanted to guide Russia to move forward according to his own ideas, he didn't have to do much. He just needed to find the president and make up a random title of "contacting you on behalf of No. 17".
The only point that might cause trouble is the president's proposal to "visit No. 17."
The construction of No. 17 has not yet started, and Zhang Mu has no plans to start construction in Gul City in the short term.
The war to encircle Lake is about to begin. If Lagu takes action, he will inevitably cross the Silent Forest. By then, the half-built projects will be completely destroyed, all resources and manpower will be wasted, and nothing will be accomplished.
In this case, Zhang Mu could not agree to the president's request.
Indeed, he could find an excuse to refuse, such as "the owner of No. 17 does not want outsiders to visit", but if he did so, the president would most likely become suspicious.
Look who is communicating with China and Ying Country, Xuxianren, one of the main figures of the mountain sect. When the sect leader is in seclusion, he handles all the affairs of the sect.
There is no need to emphasize that Dumbledore is the headmaster of Hogwarts and the undisputed number one in the wizarding world.
On our side, No. 17 sent someone who couldn't even make a decision to contact us. Does he not care about the deal with Russia at all?
So is the deal proposed by No. 17 worth your attention?
If Russia pays its all for this, not only will the harvest be unsatisfactory, but it will also delay construction in other areas, which would be a huge loss.
Although Russia will not give up its deal with Chaofan, it is inevitable that it will have many concerns and dare not invest all its resources, resulting in slow construction of the spacecraft project.
Zhang Mu didn't want to see this scene, and hoped that the president would not mention visiting No. 17. However, there was a high probability that the president would make this request, and he would definitely make it, so he had to consider the response measures in advance.
After thinking for a long time in the park, he finally got a clue. Zhang Mu stood up, used the transformation technique to turn into Tefan, and rushed to "Entrance No. 17".
…………
Farid's life today was as usual. After getting up early in the morning, he moved a wooden chair and sat next to the big-bellied wine barrel, staring at it.
The soldiers standing guard around were a little helpless.
Will the extraordinary thing come out of you if you stare at it every day?
The soldier not only complained in his mind, but also asked directly: "Sir, this is not working."
Farid waved his hand without even turning his head: "You don't understand."
Farid was not making excuses for his somewhat irrational behavior; he simply believed that they didn't understand.
In his opinion, if he was like the soldiers, who only saw Chaofan from afar, did not talk to him, and even developed certain feelings for him, then he could remain calm about the sooner or later Chaofan would appear again.
Anyway, my life won’t change even if Chaofan comes back, so why should I care?
The problem is that Farid is different from the soldiers. He and Tefan can be considered friends.
If No. 17 was going to recruit new students on Blue Star like Asahi and Dumbledore did, he would have the best chance of being selected because of his relationship with Tefan.
There are billions of people on Blue Planet, but only a handful of them are lucky enough to be selected.
As long as Tefan comes out from No. 17, Farid will have the chance to become one of the lucky ones. How can he not look forward to the moment when Tefan appears in front of him.
He was looking forward to it so much that except for a few hours of sleeping, he would spend the rest of the time staring at the barrel, hoping that he would be able to see Tefan as soon as he walked out, without having to wait for others to notify him.
Even in modern times with mobile phones, it only takes more than ten seconds for someone to notify you, but Farid feels that if he gets the news one second late, he will have to endure one more second of suffering.
Farid tried hard not to blink while staring at the barrel, but the human body has its limits after all. After staring for an hour, his eyes felt a little sore, so he raised his hand to rub them.
Putting his hand down, he was surprised to see Tefan standing next to the barrel, smiling and waving to greet him.
Did the constant craving cause hallucinations?
He mumbled silently, rubbing his eyes harder than before.
However, when his hand was removed, Tefan was still standing there intact.
Farid looked back at the soldier's expression, and from the shock in his eyes he judged that what he saw was probably not an illusion.
"Mr. Tefan!" His lethargy suddenly disappeared and he stood up in high spirits.
"Mr. Farid, I haven't seen you for a few days."
"You are out this time, are you going to have a holiday on the 17th?" Farid did not lose control of his mind and expose his desire to become extraordinary, but just greeted like an ordinary friend.
"No." Tefan shook his head, and then in Farid's excited eyes, he slowly said, "The teacher will be here soon. Well, it seems to be about the enrollment of No. 17 in Blue Star."
Admissions! At Blue Star!
Farid felt a little dizzy, his vision became blurry, and he was in a daze for a while.
"Huh? Mr. Farid, what's wrong with you?" Tefan asked puzzledly.
"I... I'm fine, uh... that..." Farid felt that asking directly whether he could be selected would be too impetuous, but after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "How many places are there? Can I sign up?"
"No. 17 enrollment will not accept active registration."
Hearing this, Farid felt disappointed, but immediately cheered up: "What about the admissions criteria?"
He considered himself to be barely an elite among humans, and there was still hope for fair competition.
"No. 17 handed this matter over to the teacher. I only found out when the teacher came. Oh, one of my missions this time is to pick up the teacher."
"When will your teacher arrive?"
"Tomorrow." Tefan scratched his head. "Before that, I have to meet your president. There are some things I need to discuss with him."
Farid turned around and told the soldiers to prepare a car to go to the Crimean Palace, but as soon as the soldiers turned around, the president had already pushed open the door of the bar and strode in.
"Hello, Mr. Tefan." The president could not hide his excitement and shook hands with Tefan. "I have been looking forward to seeing you again since we parted last time."
"Let's talk business first."
The president glanced at his assistant, who understood and ordered the soldiers to retreat outside, and he followed suit.
Farid was originally planning to leave, but Tefan raised his hand to stop him, and then there were only three people left at the scene.
"This will ensure that our conversation will not be heard by a fourth person. Mr. Tefan can speak now."
Nodding, Tefan said: "It stands to reason that the teacher should communicate with you, but the matter is a bit complicated and the teacher is very busy. In order to save time,
I will be responsible for explaining the general situation. We need to negotiate with both parties. Let's wait for the teacher to arrive."
After a few seconds of pause to let the two digest the information, Tefan continued, "Huaguo and Yingguo are building spaceships. Do you know about this?"
"Of course, I received the news a long time ago." The progress of the two countries' cooperation with Chaofan far exceeded his own, and the president looked a little anxious.
"So, do you know the purpose?"
They were stunned. They really didn't understand this.
All I heard was that the two countries were actively building spacecraft, but the president couldn't find any relevant information about why.
The president did not take it too seriously when he received the report that the investigation had yielded no results. The two countries were not idiots and if they invested fully and entered into an extraordinary transaction, there would surely be great benefits.
Now after listening to Tefan's words, it seems that things are not as simple as just the benefits.
Seeing that the two were looking at him eagerly, Tefan did not keep them in suspense: "The extraordinary in your concept is us. We have materials that can help you improve your technology."
That's it!
The president was shocked. No wonder China and Britain were so focused on spacecraft engineering!
After understanding the benefits, the president was confused again: "But...what is the relationship between those materials and the construction of spacecraft?"
Tefan organized the language in his mind and quickly explained all the twists and turns.
Farid listened carefully and suddenly said, "There are relatively valuable exchange items on the moon, so China and Ying are in a hurry to build spacecraft to mine exchange items on the moon and exchange them for materials from Chaofan."
"Well, it's basically like what you said." Tefan said, looking at the president, "The teacher asked me to tell you that exchanging Blue Star items for materials is a transaction in name, but in reality it can be said to be free."
The president agrees in his heart.
He felt that something on Blue Star might be something that the extraordinary people desired, so this transaction should be mutually beneficial rather than unilateral poverty alleviation.
Just one point, if the extraordinary reaches out to "ask", do humans have the ability to refuse?
Or fight to the death?
There is no need to consider the hidden power. Just judging from the combat power currently demonstrated by Chaofan, Xuxianren alone can destroy humanity. What can humans use to resist?
"What should we do? Build a spacecraft to go to the moon?" The president asked impatiently after learning that technology could be rapidly improved.
"Yes, although it's a little slower than them, it's not a serious problem. With the teacher here, you don't have to worry about being invaded. Just catch up with them."
"I'll do it immediately!"
"Don't worry." Tefan smiled, "The first thing to do now is to recruit students."
"Enrolling students?" The president came from the Crimean Palace. Farid and Tefan had already finished their conversation, so he didn't know that students would be enrolled on the 17th.
Tefan was about to explain, but Farid stopped him and told the story himself.
"What are the selection criteria? Can I meet them?" The president was so excited that he felt hot all over and loosened his tie a little.
"We have to wait for the teacher to come."
After explaining everything, Tefan said that the two of them could do as they pleased while he went for a walk and would immediately go to the Crimean Palace after picking up the teacher.
The President asked if he needed a guide but was politely declined, so he did not stay any longer and immediately returned to the Crimean Palace to prepare for the spacecraft project and promote the enrollment of No. 17.
Since Tefan went out to play, Farid had no reason to stay at home, so he planned to go home and exercise, trying to get himself into the best condition to prepare for the entrance examination.
As soon as he got home, Tefan appeared in the house, stuffed a wolf fang into his hand, blinked his right eye, and said mysteriously, "It can make your wish come true. This is a gift from me as a friend."
Farid was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and quickly asked, "How do you know my wish?" But halfway through the question, Tefan had disappeared.
…………
The president will not be negligent in any matter related to the extraordinary, let alone such a major event as enrollment in Blue Star.
After getting into the car heading back to the Crimean Palace, he immediately told his assistant to contact the media company, put other work aside, and focus on promoting the enrollment on the 17th.
So within just one hour, everyone in Russia who had a television at home and a mobile phone in their pocket knew that students would be admitted on the 17th.
However, what surprised them was that the news did not mention the registration method.
Unable to suppress their desire to become extraordinary, they called the TV station to inquire, but the reply they got was that the 17th did not accept self-registration.
The public looked confused. If it is not to encourage us to sign up, then what is the purpose of issuing this enrollment brochure? Are you trying to tempt us?
The TV station staff whose phones were bombarded with calls were also helpless. What could I do? This was the answer I was instructed to give.
