A team member repeated the numbers on the screen in a trembling voice.
"How could an ordinary logging camp owner be so rich?"
"This is completely unreasonable!"
"This Mr. Li's identity is definitely not ordinary!"
"Chief Superintendent, we must launch an investigation into him immediately!"
The captain said excitedly.
However, the young superintendent slowly raised his hand to stop him.
"Don't move out yet, go and arrest Boss Li."
His voice is not loud.
But it is filled with unquestionable authority.
"But, Chief Superintendent! This Mr. Li, he..."
The captain asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I know."
"But he is Bald Qiang's boss."
"And Bald Qiang is a hero who has saved our world three times."
"For Bald Qiang's sake, and for the sake of all he's done for him..."
"Let's continue to observe this Mr. Li."
"Do not act rashly before you understand his true purpose."
The chief inspector's eyes became incredibly deep.
He decided to give his "best friend" and this mysterious Boss Li a chance.
In addition to the subsidies mentioned above, Boss Li also purchased various extremely expensive cutting-edge technologies for Bald Qiang.
Category Six: Specialized Cutting-Edge Technology Equipment.
[The scapegoat.]
Market value: 700 million.
"Seven...seven hundred million?!"
"Did I...did I add too many zeros?"
Or am I seeing things?
"What a joke!"
"A black pot! Just an ordinary black pot that looks like it's used for cooking, yet... it's worth seven hundred million?!"
"This is too exaggerated!"
"What kind of cutting-edge technology is this?"
"What kind of functions does it possess that justify its terrifying price of 700 million yuan?!"
"Seven hundred million yuan!"
"This one pot alone is worth more than ten times more than the total value of all the hundreds or thousands of items that were previously exposed!"
"This Mr. Li, his financial resources, and his 'investment' in Bald Qiang have completely exceeded the limits of our comprehension!"

Detective Conan World
Inside the Mori Detective Agency.
When they saw the price tag of "700 million" on the screen, Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, and Conan were all shocked beyond anything they had ever seen.
"Seven...seven hundred million?!"
Kogoro Mouri stared at the number on the screen.
The beer can in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
"..."
"I thought that the more than 40 million yuan that Mr. Li gave Bald Qiang as a subsidy for his vehicle was already more than enough, the limit."
"did not expect……"
"Now, this Mr. Li has bought him another black pot worth... 700 million."
Conan's expression was also filled with extreme shock.
"Although we have no idea what this so-called 'black pot' is or what kind of magical function it has."
"But since Tianmu says it's worth 700 million, then it's 700 million."
"So now, all the previous subsidies added up to a total of more than six million."
"Plus this 700 million..."
"In other words, that Boss Li has subsidized Bald Qiang with goods worth over 760 million yuan so far!"
He was so shocked by this final, terrifying number that he was speechless.
He felt that what he was encountering was no longer a simple "story of a lumberjack".
Rather, it is a colossal mystery hidden beneath the surface of ordinary daily life, a mystery so immense it could drive the entire world mad...

"Seven hundred million?!"
"Holy crap! How many colorful sticks could this buy?! I could never eat them all in my lifetime!"
Bai Yuechu looked at that number and his mouth was practically watering.
His eyes were filled with nothing but the symbol of money.
"Wait a moment……"
"Why did that Boss Li give Bald Qiang so much money?"
What's in it for him?
"Could it be... that it's because Bald Qiang works so hard, and the timber he cuts every day creates a huge value for Boss Li, far exceeding 700 million?"
"So, that's why this Mr. Li is so willing to spend money on him?"
He tried to use the most basic logic of "exchanging labor for remuneration".
To explain this illogical scene before us.
"but……"
"its not right!"
"No matter how hard that Bald Qiang works, he's just a lumberjack. He works himself to the bone every day, but he doesn't deserve so much in goods and subsidies from Boss Li!"
"After all, that's a huge sum of over 700 million yuan!"
"This isn't just 'salary,' it's practically 'supporting' a god!"
"I can't understand it, I just can't understand it at all!"
He held his head in his hands, feeling that his brain was completely overwhelmed.
...
Boonie Bears World (Bald Qiang)
In the cabin.
Bald Qiang stared at the familiar black pot on the sky, the one he had once used to cook noodles, and behind it, at the terrifying price of a series of zeros that felt utterly foreign to him. He felt as if his breath was about to stop.
"..."
"Seven...seven hundred million?"
He stretched out his fingers, trembling, and began to calculate.
"I...I...my monthly salary is only one thousand yuan..."
"One year is twelve thousand..."
"Ten years is 120,000..."
"One hundred years is one million two hundred thousand..."
"A thousand years……"
He counted on his fingers for a long time, and finally realized in despair.
"Oh my goodness!"
"I haven't eaten or drunk anything since my great-great-grandfather's time, and I've been working on this ever since, but I still can't earn enough to make this pot!"
"Mr. Li... he... what exactly is he..."
He was completely dumbfounded.
That day, Bald Qiang had just returned to his dilapidated little wooden house.
He then noticed a huge express package, sent by Boss Li, sitting alone by the door.
The package was wrapped in thick cardboard and covered with warning labels in incomprehensible foreign languages.
He struggled to drag the heavy package into the house, leaving a long scratch on the floor.
Just then, his piercing, death knell-like phone rang precisely on time: "Bald Qiang, did you receive the new package I sent you?"
Bald Qiang hurriedly nodded and bowed, replying, "Yes, Mr. Li. I received it. I just brought it inside."
Mr. Li said in a boastful tone, "Let me tell you, this is my latest logging equipment invention, it's high-tech!"
Upon hearing this, Bald Qiang excitedly opened the huge package, hoping to find a laser chainsaw or a logging robot.
