“Even if our TF’s motto is ‘Don’t waste money on lost causes,’ isn’t this too much? This shabby banner at such a grand event as the ‘General Assembly for the Selection of the Next Civilization’s Origin’… It’s so embarrassing…”93af3b5c99e73a05

It was an incident that greatly angered the gods of the Chinese branch, who were particularly influential in the Heavenly Gods’ Union.

The moment the cc67ac3af1 rookie swallowed a 9c6f27bdb6 sigh, all the 48ac737bec lights in the 3248252c5e hall went out. The murmuring 5746aac25e people widened 34352a367a their eyes 3140dd65a8 and looked b9aa60752c at the efed3bfd51 stage, illuminated 4944de63a3 by a 5c194cf8c8 single spotlight. Under that light, Mago, dd486517a9 with her sleek silver 39eb5ecc8f hair neatly tied up d73b72e935 and wearing a perfectly fe3a9fb6cd fitted suit, strode to c9a0825938 the podium and stood aafad64ed0 tall.

“Due to the characteristic location of the peninsula, securing diversity in climate and ecology is a great advantage for us. The fact that one of the only two large-scale seed banks in the world is located on the Korean Peninsula is also a plus.”ff2e9ca353c24f74

‘I took the lead and came up here, but… this is hopeless, really.’532787bc1016f20b

Wouldn’t it be better to declare forfeiture in one minute and be embarrassed briefly and intensely, rather than rambling on for 10 minutes and being embarrassed long and drawn out?
