The donkey didn't return that night ….
Wang Baole wasn't anxious. He might not be able to locate the donkey with his senses, but he knew that the donkey wasn't dead. He continued to cultivate as he waited. He decided that he would have three days at most. If the donkey still didn't return, he would shut it up.
Perhaps the donkey had sensed the impending danger. Three days later, on the night of the third day, it sneaked back into the house with a pill bottle in its mouth. As soon as it entered the house, it hurriedly let go of its mouth and kicked the pill bottle in front of Wang Baole. There was an obedient look on its face.
But it was useless …. Wang Baole opened his eyes, grabbed the donkey, and began to beat it until it shrieked in pain. In the end, Wang Baole kicked it and said angrily, "If you don't teach me a lesson, I'll teach you a lesson.
Don't you think you're an idiot? Don't you know how to silence people? You donkey, don't you know how to wipe your mouth after eating?! "
Wang Baole looked as if he expected better from the donkey. He kicked it again, and this time, the donkey didn't shriek. A thoughtful look appeared in its eyes, and after a long moment, its expression grew serious. It seemed to think that Wang Baole's words made sense, so it turned to look in the direction of the army camp and snorted.
Wang Baole couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the donkey. He cursed it a few more times, then picked up the pill bottle and opened it. Although he didn't know the name of the pill inside, it smelled pretty good. He figured that the donkey must have found it somewhere, so he snorted, put it away, and then roared.
"If you're a donkey, you need to use your brain, you know? If this happens again, I'll stew you!"
With that, Wang Baole waved his hand. Feeling that his anger had subsided, he simply continued to meditate and cultivate. As for the donkey, although it had seemed to be crying out in pain, the truth was that as its cultivation base increased, its fleshly body as a ferocious beast grew stronger as well. At least seventy to eighty percent of its cries had been fake.
At this moment, seeing that Wang Baole was ignoring it, it stood up with a somersault. It did not seem to be in any pain at all, as if it was already used to being beaten up and did not feel much pain. However, there was a contemplative look in its eyes. It looked in the direction of the military camp again, as if it was considering the feasibility of silencing Wang Baole …
However, even though the matter seemed simple, it was still difficult. The donkey might not be very smart, but it cherished its life. When it realized that it would be hunted down if it really tried to silence them, it snorted regretfully and gave up on the idea. However, it had already put the matter of silencing them to the back of its mind.
At this thought, it turned back and glanced at Wang Baole. In the depths of its eyes, there was actually a human-like expression. That was … admiration.
It was as if it felt that its master was very powerful. The principles that he had taught it were all correct. For example, he had told it to retaliate, so it had done so. Now, whenever the donkey saw itself, its legs would turn to jelly. It was extremely terrified.
At this thought, the donkey was obviously pleased with itself. Hence, time passed slowly under its sneaky glances …
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. During this time, the donkey had become much more well-behaved. Although it still left early in the morning and returned late at night, it did not seem to go to the military camp anymore. Wang Baole did not have the time to keep an eye on it either. On one hand, his construction-type puppets had been completely perfected. Now that he had to refine and adjust them in batches, it was very time-consuming.
On the other hand, he had made use of various channels to gather information about the New Mars Region. While his heart was burning with passion, he was also considering how to increase his chances of success.
Hence, he did not bother with the donkey. Furthermore, the donkey was now free-range. It went out to find food on its own. This saved Wang Baole a lot of snacks.
The plan for the New Mars Region had also gradually spread within this half a month. At the same time, it attracted attention and competition among the various factions of the Federation. At this point, it could be said that it had been completely finalized. Hence, very quickly, the Martian government issued an announcement!
Mars was going to establish a second city district!
This city district would be established at a designated location in the wilderness. Its scale would be larger than any other district in the Martian Colony City. The initial plan was that the size of the new district would be about ten percent of the Martian Colony City's size!
This scale was already considered huge. At the same time, since the new district was going to be established, it naturally had to be equipped with the Federation system. The person in charge of the New Mars Region would be appointed as a Primary Rank Four Noble!
It could be said that whoever became the person in charge of the New Mars Region would be promoted to a Primary Rank Four Noble!
A Primary Rank Four Noble was already the rank of the Grand Elder of the various pavilions in the four major Dao Colleges. Generally speaking, those who could reach this rank were mostly Core Formation realm cultivators. Although there were Foundation Establishment realm cultivators, they were very rare. Furthermore, every single one of them was extremely powerful.
According to the normal promotion process, Wang Baole was very clear that if he wanted to be promoted from a Secondary Rank Four Noble to a Primary Rank Four Noble, even if he had made contributions, it would still take some time. At the very least, in terms of cultivation, he would have to be at least passable.
But now … the establishment of the new district represented a huge opportunity. Once he was promoted, it would mean that he would soar into the sky. Not only would he be promoted to a Primary Rank Four Noble, but he would also be the leader of the entire new district. He would have immense power and authority. Just thinking about it made his eyes light up with excitement.
However, after investigating through various channels during this period, Wang Baole already had a deep understanding of the significance of the new district. He understood that the new district involved the subsequent development of the Divine Armament. It could be said that whoever held the initiative at this time would have a huge advantage in the development of the Divine Armament in the future!
As such, how could the various factions not be tempted? All sorts of fierce and secret competitions were taking place. Although Wang Baole couldn't see them, he could imagine them.
After all … this was the Federation's second Divine Armament. No faction wanted to give it up. It was difficult for the Federation to monopolize it. In fact, if they didn't handle it properly, it would cause a fight. Hence, the so-called new district plan was created. On one hand, it was necessary for the development of the Divine Armament. On the other hand … it was also an opportunity for the Federation to allow the various factions to compete in advance within the rules!
Therefore, this time, the notice also gave the method of selection.
First, ten candidates had to be chosen from the many people who were qualified. Then, these ten candidates would undergo the final examination.
To ensure fairness, this assessment would be broadcasted live to the entire Federation so that everyone could watch it. As for the location of the assessment, it would be in the wasteland of the Divine Armament New District that was about to be built.
There, around the Divine Armament Catacombs, ten districts would be drawn. Every candidate could bring along ten thousand people and servants whose cultivation level didn't exceed the candidate's. They would be stationed in each district and have to think of a way to build a simple model of the city according to their own plans and plans. The standard of the assessment would be actual combat!
Back then, after the Federation powerhouses had investigated the catacombs where the Divine Armament was located, they had discovered that there were many different types of creatures that had mutated due to the power of the Divine Armament.
However, due to special reasons, the Divine Armament couldn't be developed immediately. Hence, the catacombs could only be sealed. This assessment would unlock part of the seal and allow the creatures inside to rush out.
Resisting the Beast Tide from the Divine Armament Catacombs was the standard of the assessment. Whoever's model of the city could last until the end against the Beast Tide would win and become the mayor of the New Mars Region.
The reason for this was to ensure that the chosen mayor of the New Mars Region would be the most suitable person to be in charge of the construction of the new district and be in charge of the development of the Divine Armament in the future.
This was the overall selection process. The first step was to select ten candidates. The method was that every applicant had to submit a proposal. In the proposal, they would describe and draw their own ideas and the city they wanted to build. After the Martian Colony Governor and the others evaluated and judged, the ten best proposals would be selected, and the designers would become the candidates.
This assessment, which combined theory and practice, seemed fair, but it wasn't. One could imagine that every candidate had a background. Moreover, each candidate could have up to ten thousand people as helpers. Their factions would definitely do their best to assist them.
However, this was the only way. After all, the various factions were eyeing the Divine Armament covetously. The ten thousand helpers were the result of the agreement between the various factions.
However, to the Martian Colony Governor, this was actually a good thing. This was because no matter what, even if they had to use external forces, the arrival of these various factions would, to a certain extent, be considered as contributing to the construction of Mars.
However, she also knew that the competition would be intense. No matter what, the Divine Armament was on Mars. Hence, regardless of which faction won in the end, they would have to treat her with respect.
Hence, she didn't have any preference for the mayor of the New Mars Region. She only had one criterion, and that was … the applicant had to have a position on Mars beforehand.
