The baby monkey is named Liliushi, who looks like an ordinary monkey on the surface but is entirely made of mechanical parts and possesses various special abilities, such as invisibility, flight, and the ability to transform into any human appearance. The world goes to war over Liliushi, no less intense than a world war. The special operations team codenamed "Scorpion" was formed within hours, with members who could climb a hundred floors without ropes, run a hundred meters barefoot on glass shards, and travel around the world without money. The president personally went to the airport to see off the Scorpion team, saying that several medals representing the highest honor of the Lion Country were already waiting for them in a box, and that even though their opponent was a monkey, they must not take it lightly. The team members vowed to make the mechanical monkey a citizen of the Lion Country, saying that no one in the world didn't want to join the Lion Country, let alone a monkey, and that even if the mechanical monkey didn't want to join the Lion Country, they would not let it join any other country's nationality. Meanwhile, the heads of state from all countries with some prestige received intelligence about the escape of the mechanical monkey from their secretaries. Dozens of special operations teams from different countries, flying from different longitudes and latitudes across the Earth, simultaneously headed toward the country of Ox, all with the same target—the mechanical monkey—and the same purpose—to make it their country's citizen. Among them, Tiger Country, Wolf Country, and Leopard Country, which could rival the Lion Country in strength, were the most eager, no less so than the Lion Country. The intelligence officers from Ox Country's embassies in various countries, disguised as diplomats, were also quick to act. They swiftly obtained intelligence from all countries about the attention and actions being taken regarding the mechanical monkey, regardless of the source—whether it was the dream of the president's chef, the love letter of the prime minister's maid, or the phone call of the president's younger sister. All this information confirmed the same thing, which was enough to prove its credibility, accuracy, severity, and danger. "The mechanical monkey is our country's property, and we must not let foreigners take it away!" the president of Ox Country ordered. He knew what Liliushi meant to the economically less powerful Ox Country. Last night, the president of Ox Country dreamed of sending Liliushi to the Lion Country's vault to transport gold bricks back to Ox Country. "First, we cannot provoke him," the secretary suggested. "We must not let him think that foreign countries are better than ours." "Hmm," the president nodded, thinking it made sense. "Generally, we should avoid using force against him, and he doesn't fear guns anyway," the secretary continued. The president's legs couldn't stand straight at the thought of having a citizen in his country who wasn't afraid of guns. "Then, we should mobilize the entire nation to increase the public's awareness of the importance or danger of the mechanical monkey, setting a net for him." The chief of staff chimed in. "Next, order all research institutions in the country to halt their current projects and shift entirely to studying the mechanical monkey, so we can quickly develop a scientific method to him." The president said. "From today on, monitor all foreigners entering the country." The ministers of counterintelligence and intelligence said. "Act immediately!" The president waved his hand. Ox Country was ready to risk everything to possess the mechanical monkey; otherwise, they would have betrayed their ancestors who had blinked their eyes even before humans learned to blink, and their high mountains and rivers that had formed even before the Earth had high mountains and rivers. Where is Liliushi now? P041-042
