Chapter 1416: Chapter 557 Underground Space_2 Chapter 1416: Chapter 557 Underground Space_2 Other companies who also aspire to enter the diamond market have seen this opportunity. They are also preparing funds, ready to snatch from the De Beers Company and formally enter the global diamond market. Hence, this diamond rough auction is destined to be extremely fierce, and the closing price of this huge diamond could likely reach a new peak.

However, what these people do not know is that Lu Pingping has many more such diamond roughs in her possession, and their quality is even more impeccable. They are simply the bait that Lu Pingping uses for fishing. Lu Pingping will make reasonable arrangements based on the financial situation of the De Beers Company, and once she has drained all the funds of this fraudulent company, Dream Island will supply diamond roughs to other jewelry companies around the world at the lowest prices. Within the shortest amount of time, it will bring down the price of diamonds, turning the diamonds De Beers bought into a pile of worthless rocks, leading to their complete bankruptcy…

Apart from the events unfolding on Dream Island, Yan Fei turned his attention to the entire world. The Holy See had already made contact with Dream Island, confirming they would send high-level personnel to visit Dream Island in a month’s time. There is no consensus within the Holy See on the identity of “who I am”, but there are already activists planning a formal visit to Dream Island. Yan Fei expressed his support for this matter.

Then, Yan Fei discovered something strange: suddenly, a bounty task appeared on the Dark Web, which was unrelated to humans and was all about purchasing chimpanzees. Whether it be wild chimpanzees or zoo chimpanzees; whether young or old, the bounty task issuer wanted them all. Each chimpanzee provided would fetch a substantial reward.

Capturing chimpanzees is very simple, with no life risk involved. To bounty hunters armed with various modern weapons, there could be no easier task. Consequently, a number of bounty hunters swiftly changed their targets, no longer focusing on human bounties but on how to capture more chimpanzees.

Upon seeing this bounty task, Yan Fei was initially curious, but he soon thought of the escapee chimpanzees from Western World zoos, which have not been found to this day. Yan Fei originally thought that this was the handy work of the eco-organization “Animal Protectors”, but upon seeing the large-scale acquisition of chimpanzees on the Dark Web, he immediately sensed something was amiss, heightened his vigilance, and closely monitored the progress of the matter.

Regrettably, since the bounty task had just been issued, there had not been a single chimpanzee transaction, so Yan Fei was also unaware of who had issued the bounty task and what their purpose was.

Initially, Yan Fei had wanted to find out the identity of this person by having Artificial Intelligence “Dream” hack into the other party’s system. However, there is one place in this world where even an AI like “Dream,” no matter how intelligent it has evolved to be, and even with the support of a powerful Photon Computer, cannot infiltrate the system, and that is the Dark Web’s servers.

This made Yan Fei highly suspicious; his Artificial Intelligence “Dream” was already the most powerful program on Earth, and yet, such sophisticated AI was unable to penetrate the system of a Dark Web network. Could it be that the founder of the Dark Web’s computer technology is even stronger than Dream Island’s? This question is something almost everyone wanted to know, yet no one has obtained any useful intelligence…

Besides the chimpanzee bounty task, Yan Fei was also concerned about another matter: recent actions taken by the US Government and Future Technology.

Previously, the Ancestral Land of Future Technology and the US Government had teamed up to plot against Yan Fei, aiming for his demise in The United States of America. However, in the process, Yan Fei discovered that Future Technology and the US Government were not really united; there were considerable conflicts and mutual scheming between them. It was evident that the Ancestral Land of Future Technology looked down on the US Government, and the US Government, accustomed to being on high, was not inclined to collaborate with an unknown Mysterious Organization.

When Yan Fei escaped from the Underground Military Fortress, and the Ancestral Land followed in pursuit, the Americans lying in ambush outside spotted them. These Americans lying in wait outside the Underground Military Fortress were not normal; it was clear they wanted to strike like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of a oriole behind, ready to attack with the Energy cannon whoever emerged from the fortress, be it Yan Fei or the Ancestral Land.

This was also the main reason the Ancestral Land almost fell victim to collateral damage from a direct Energy cannon attack behind Yan Fei. After a narrow escape, the Ancestral Land led Future Technology to launch several counterattacks against the US Government. This included delaying the supply of high-tech products to American high-tech companies, which once again dealt a heavy blow to Apple Inc., which had just started to recover. Not only that, they also slowed down the support of software technology and hardware products for the American Internet build-up, preventing quick improvement to the security level of the American Network.

Lastly, after the Terminal Illness Hospital located in the Underground Military Fortress was destroyed by their own Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb, Future Technology did not rebuild the Hospital. At this time, Dream Island was no longer accepting American patients with incurable diseases, and when Future Technology’s Hospital also stopped accepting American patients with incurable diseases, the patients became furious. They united and exerted pressure on the former President to address the life-and-death issues they faced.
