Two days later, under the advocacy and promotion of East City, Central City unexpectedly passed the Coastal Environmental Protection Act and simultaneously released a draft for soliciting opinions on new regulations for punishing environmental pollution.

Especially regarding the pollution and gas emissions of Fuel Element Vehicles, a whole new standard was established.

This signifies an advancement in the Federation's environmental protection efforts while safeguarding the pristine seas and skies of coastal areas, preventing ecological deterioration, and helping to mitigate increasingly frequent disasters.

At least that's what the environmental experts on TV said.

Amidst a overwhelming wave of opposition, surprisingly, the Ministry of Justice relented, revising the regulations for a second time — existing models were let off, but any newly manufactured models would not be allowed on the market or roads if they couldn't pass stringent environmental testing.

The environmental testing of vehicles will be completed by expert institutions designated by the Ministry of Justice.

Relevant regulations will come into effect three months later.

By then, a brand-new technological barrier will rise...

At the same time, a sharp explosion rang out from Yan Jian, who had been locked away for two and a half days before finally crawling out with red eyes, clutching his design drawings.

"I ■ you ■!!!"

"I want to ■■■ those ■■■ at Central City...!"

"■■■ my ■■■, a bunch of ■■■, ■■■!!!!"

Yan Jian's voice, unable to afford a pineapple, echoed from Cliff City to Tide City.

In response, Ji Jue, who was sipping tea, reading newspapers, slacking off while leisurely studying the "Xiang Sword Theory," remained unfazed, with his legs crossed.

"Ignore it."

He said, "Continue."

He glanced at the words 'household Fuel Element cars' in the draft soliciting opinions and couldn't help but sneer: Stir it up! Stir it up! If you like stirring things up, then go ahead!

When the day comes that a little tricycle can be classified as a car, then come and talk to me!

"Employee number B709, violating the confidentiality agreement—"

From the phone, Isis's voice arose: "Detected an unregistered device connecting to the intranet, and also found four eavesdropping and recording devices in the luggage. Should it be dealt with?"

"Just notify security."

Ji Jue sipped his tea without lifting his head and said: "We should always give people a second chance."

"Speak plainly."

"Lock them in Workshop Zero to screw bolts until they die." Ji Jue said expressionlessly: "Or until they repay the penalty after deducting food and accommodation fees."

"I feel compared to that, direct materialization is more humane."

"Humane?"

Ji Jue sneered: "I'm a capitalist, since when are capitalists human?"

"You weren't human even when you weren't a capitalist."

Isis regretfully reminded: "And, according to the surveillance data, the threat target Yin Chaoyang is still stirring up trouble, trying to intervene.

It seems your conciliatory and tolerant approach hasn't worked, why not eliminate him?"

"Killing him is easy, but then what?"

Ji Jue earnestly explained: "After killing him, if someone even more stubborn comes in, wouldn't it be even more troublesome? Besides, this is Cliff City, at least it's a place that values rules."

"Heh."

To this, Isis just laughed coldly.

But Ji Jue indeed wants to talk about rules.

Especially when the rules stand on his side.

That's when rules need to be emphasized even more!

If he could keep the whole matter confined to commercial conflicts, personal grudges, and feuds from beginning to end, Ji Jue might laugh himself awake from his dreams.

You must understand, 'definition' is a very scary thing, its implication is equivalent to 'weighing scale'.

Unknowingly carrying controlled knives on a plane and attempting to hijack and engage in terrorist activities endangering social security... even the same actions, depending on their nature, will lead to three completely different outcomes.

The lightest might just be a security warning, while the heaviest, dreaming of never being released from imprisonment would be a luxury.

Just like what Ji Jue is doing now.

On a larger scale, it's the rise of a military-industrial giant and a life-or-death pie-grabbing war. On a smaller scale, it's just about a car manufacturer, under an industrial group close to bankruptcy, trying to restart production.

Faced with oppression, he could very well carry Isis, the small bullhorse, and prototype ex-wives, stepmothers, along with various equipment, and in broad daylight, slaughter Yin Chaoyang and his whole family, killing them all, crushing their bones and scattering their ashes.

But what follows would be an escalation and loss of control of the situation.

Hit the small ones and the older ones come, kill the older ones and even older ones come, the weight on the scale will escalate step by step, until Ji Jue can no longer control it, and even reversely crush him to pieces.

No, one can almost foresee, it's certain!

Even if he does nothing and quietly cocoons in development, the escalation of events is inevitable, but only a fool would start a difficult challenge before the precious development period ends.

Otherwise, why not find Ye Xian to seek Ji Jue?

If Lv Yingyue went to seek Ye Xian, is there not another master in the Federation? Are other legendary workshops all eating idly? The military industry is not exclusive to the North Wind!

Once the arms race is rolled up, there's no end to it. Moreover, how could there be just one or two eyeing the cake and eager to get on the table?

According to the principle of the uncertainty of rules — the more people simultaneously watching a matter, the more everyone will stick to the rules.

The current rules are in favor of Ji Jue.

Before they fully grasp Lv Yingyue's background and Ji Jue's capabilities, no one will flip the table.

He must endure, withstand many overt and covert tests.

The faster and more steadily he runs now, the simpler it will be later, and the more room and advantages he will be able to win.
