After leaving the Martian Colony Governor's office, Wang Baole's excitement at becoming a Primary Rank Four Noble and the mayor of the New Mars Region had dissipated slightly. The thought of the Governor's three requests gave him a headache.
"Isn't this forcing a woman into prostitution?" Wang Baole was indignant. He sighed when he returned to the Dao Mountain Mist Academy. He knew that he didn't have much time left. He had to set off in three days, so he only had three days left.
"It doesn't matter. Why do I have to put so much pressure on myself? Even if I can't get it done in three days, I can still think of a way to get it done when I reach the new district!" Wang Baole heaved a sigh of relief. He quickly thought of a way to deal with the situation. He felt that this situation was similar to his previous assessment. Back then, he had been poor and had only the blueprints of the Eternal Fortress and the construction puppets.
Now, he was still poor to a certain extent. He had merely exchanged the blueprints and the puppets for the position of deputy mayor.
"I, Wang Baole, am pure and handsome. I'm not the kind of person who would curry favor with others. Unfortunately, I'm being oppressed by the Governor. Forget it, forget it. I'll do something against my conscience for once." Wang Baole sighed. He calmed himself down and began to think of a way to sell it for a good price.
He knew very well that the position of deputy mayor was highly coveted by any faction. After all, if he couldn't become a mayor, he would at least be able to break even if he could become a deputy mayor.
"It would be great if I could auction it off." Wang Baole felt a little regretful. He was just thinking about it. If he really did it, he would probably be taken away by the relevant departments the next day …
However, just as Wang Baole was thinking about how to deal with the deputy mayor position, he received a voice transmission from an unfamiliar person while he was meditating that night.
The person who had sent the voice transmission was an elderly man. The moment Wang Baole picked up the voice transmission, he introduced himself to Wang Baole.
"Wang Baole, I am the Sect Master of White Deer Dao College. According to the agreement between the four major Dao Colleges, Li Yi will become the deputy mayor and cooperate with your work in the New Mars District …" The Sect Master of White Deer Dao College felt extremely uncomfortable. He tried to control his anger. Although his words sounded like an order, he was already doing his best.
However, just as he finished speaking, Wang Baole hung up without saying a word!
The Sect Lord of the White Deer Dao College was stunned for a moment. Unable to suppress his anger, he flew into a rage.
"Little bastard, how dare you hang up on my voice transmission!" In the White Deer Dao Academy, the White Deer Sect Master slammed his palm on the table with a loud bang.
He didn't have a good impression of Wang Baole. In his opinion, Wang Baole's disobedience was no different from betraying the four major Dao Colleges. After all, the four major Dao Colleges' plan was to support Li Yi. They didn't expect that Wang Baole would suddenly interfere and become a candidate.
That wasn't all. Who would have thought that Wang Baole would actually succeed? If Wang Baole had come from the White Deer Dao College, the Sect Lord of the White Deer Dao College would naturally think differently. However, looking at the disobedient Wang Baole, who was someone else's child, he felt nothing but irritation and annoyance.
Now that he saw that Wang Baole had dared to hang up on his voice transmission, he was filled with anger. He snorted coldly.
So arrogant at such a young age. I want you to understand that even without your approval, Li Yi will still be a vice mayor. Even if you feel indignant, you have to bear with it! At this thought, the Sect Master contacted the Martian Colony Governor.
After some communication, the Big Tree told him that there was nothing he could do. The Sect Master was dumbfounded. After some careful investigation, he found it hard to believe. He listened to the Big Tree sigh and say that he had asked about the vice mayor of the New Mars Region, but the Martian Colony Governor was adamant that no outsider was allowed to interfere.
In the end, the Big Tree also felt uncomfortable. He helplessly pointed out that this matter really required Wang Baole's recommendation.
This gave the Sect Master a headache. He wanted to continue communicating with Wang Baole, but he didn't know what to say …
At the same time, Wang Baole, who had hung up on the Sect Master, was extremely excited. He had deliberately hung up on the voice transmission. On the one hand, the Sect Master's tone made him uncomfortable. On the other hand, he wanted to knock some sense into him.
Who will this old man look for next? The Big Tree? The Colony Governor? Or the Ethereal Dao Sect Master?
Just as Wang Baole was feeling smug, his voice transmission ring rang again. He looked down and saw that it was the Ethereal Dao Sect Master. Wang Baole wasn't surprised and immediately picked up the call. After exchanging a few words with the Ethereal Dao Sect Master, the latter sighed.
"Baole, the Sect Master of the White Deer Sect came looking for me just now … If you insist, I will reject him …" The Ethereal Dao Sect Master sighed. On the one hand, he was proud of Wang Baole. On the other hand, he was frustrated that he was stuck in the middle. No matter what, deep down, he was on Wang Baole's side.
Wang Baole wouldn't reject the Ethereal Dao Sect Master. After thinking about it, he didn't hide anything and told the Ethereal Dao Sect Master about the three requests that the Martian Colony Governor had made for him.
"Sect Master, I can let Li Yi come, but she has to bring resources. The White Deer Dao College will be responsible for twenty percent of the construction of the New Mars Region. Li Yi will be the deputy mayor!" Wang Baole was more direct with his own people. The Ethereal Dao Sect Master smiled when he heard that.
"The White Deer Dao College won't be responsible, but the four major Dao Colleges. Since the construction is for you, the Ethereal Dao College won't decline. However, you are too soft-hearted. How can twenty percent be enough? You should at least ask for forty percent!"
Wang Baole's eyes lit up. He felt that the Ethereal Dao College was treating him too well. Hence, he chatted with the Ethereal Dao Sect Master for a while before ending the call. In less than five minutes, the Ethereal Dao Sect Master sent another voice transmission. This time, it was only one sentence.
"The four major Dao Colleges will be responsible for forty percent of the resources in the New Mars Region!"
Wang Baole's eyes lit up and he heaved a sigh of relief. For the sake of the resources, he didn't care about the conflict between him and Li Yi. Wang Baole also understood that even if he didn't agree, the White Deer Dao College would still be able to persuade the Martian Colony Governor to let Li Yi come over and become the deputy mayor.
However, the other party would have to pay a higher price. Furthermore, they wouldn't be of much help to his needs.
"Next … there are three spots left." Wang Baole's eyes lit up. He lowered his head and stared at the voice transmission ring. He had a feeling that he didn't have to think of a solution. Those fat sheep would come to him one by one.
Indeed, it didn't take long before he received voice transmissions from the Five Generation Sky Clan, the Plume Manifestation Connate Sect, and even the Galactic Dusk Sect. These three sects seemed to have gotten wind of the news. The moment they opened their mouths, they immediately offered the resources that they would be responsible for. The Galactic Dusk Sect, in particular, offered fifty percent of the resources!
This tempted Wang Baole. Just as he was considering his gains and losses, he received a voice transmission from General Zhou from the military. General Zhou, who was on friendly terms with Wang Baole at the Seventh Line of Defense, was rather direct. He mentioned that both the Martian military and the Earth military wanted Kongdao to become the deputy mayor …
Wang Baole thought about it. He knew that he was close to the military. This wasn't something he could reject. After all, the military had contributed to his candidacy this time.
Just as he was deep in thought, his voice transmission ring rang again. This time, it was from the President of the Federation, Duan Muque's office. It wasn't Duan Muque himself, but his first deputy. His tone was courteous. He said that he was following the President's orders and congratulating Wang Baole on becoming the new district mayor. He also praised him.
The two voice transmissions came one after the other. No matter how foolish Wang Baole was, he could tell that something fishy was going on. After all, the President of the Federation, Duan Muque, was Kongdao's godfather. As such, the meaning behind the voice transmission was crystal clear.
"Sigh, I want a godfather too." Wang Baole slapped his forehead. He sighed and told General Zhou that he would recommend Kongdao to become the deputy mayor, but … he would have to bring forty percent of the resources. After all, that was the case for Li Yi from the four major Dao Colleges.
However, he was on friendly terms with the military, so twenty percent was acceptable. General Zhou understood immediately. He laughed heartily. He preferred Wang Baole's straightforwardness. As he nodded, he also expressed that he would pass on his friendship to the others.
Just like that, after a busy day, Wang Baole confirmed the candidates for the two deputy mayors. As for his New Mars Region, he had already secured sixty percent of the resources!
