Countless organizations were extremely passionate about the Flickering World. As the development of the new Star Field progressed, the exploration area of the free competition zone became deeper and deeper, and the efficiency was much higher than the three phases of closed development.
Finn Planet was one of the core planets of the Emerald Star Cluster. It was located at the border between the outer and inner Star Systems.
Originally, this was the territory that the Modo Civilization occupied first. However, the aftermath of the battle between the two Beyond Grade A organizations' affected 'this place, and the Modo Civilization's troops stationed there encountered an' accident '. The planet returned to an ownerless state.
Not long after, the Black Star Corps' fleet occupied this place and generously 'offered' it as the future headquarters of the Flickering World Beyond Grade A Development Union.
Now, this desolate planet had a brand new look, full of traces of artificial modification. Countless Black Star Corps engineering spaceships took off and landed, wantonly building all kinds of surface and satellite buildings.
The most eye-catching landmark was a tall building, which was the headquarters of the development union. It was in the shape of a trophy, and a huge sphere was floating at the top like a floating fortress. There were also plenty of facilities inside the sphere, including the special round-table conference room for Beyond Grade A meetings.
At this moment, an important meeting was being held there.
Han Xiao's remote projection had already arrived in the round-table conference room. He glanced around, and many seats were already occupied. At the same time, new remote projections were constantly arriving.
This was the first meeting that Han Xiao was participating in since his return. This was a plenary meeting, gathering all the Beyond Grade As who were willing to join, not just Manison and the other leaders.
Very soon, all the seats were occupied. Manison knocked on the table to get everyone to stop whispering.
"Everyone, Black Star is the main proponent of the development union. Now that he's back, all the members are finally here. This is our first plenary meeting. Some of you might not be familiar with each other, so let's introduce yourselves first."
Even if the Beyond Grade As present had never met each other before, they still knew each other's names. This was just a procedure, so everyone simply introduced themselves.
Han Xiao sized them up one by one. Most of them were from the Meeting of the Gods, but there were also many new faces, including the direct descendants of the three Universal Civilizations.
At the same time, there were also fewer familiar faces, such as the few unlucky fellows who were trapped in the amber. In total, there were more people than there were at the Meeting of the Gods.
Seeing him look over, everyone nodded slightly at Han Xiao.
"The direct descendants of the three Universal Civilizations are also here …" Han Xiaoxin understood.
The reason was not hard to guess. The development union and the three Universal Civilizations had been fighting for a few months, and both sides had secretly made concessions and compromises. These direct members joining the union was definitely one of the conditions. Although it was impossible for the association to allow direct members to control the upper echelons of power, since they wanted to use the name of the Beyond Grade A Association, they naturally could not exclude Beyond Grade As from joining, even if they were direct members of the three Universal Civilizations.
Their original intention was to form a united front against the Beyond Grade As and raise the status of the entire class, but it was unrealistic for them to eat everything in one go. In the beginning, no one really wanted to fall out with the three Universal Civilizations, so they had to compromise to a certain extent. However, this would not deviate from the original intention, because as long as this platform was built, a new interest network would be formed. At the same time, it would have the function of mediating conflicts, and the Beyond Grade As would be able to ignore part of the conflicts that stemmed from faction affiliation.
As for more rights, they would have to slowly fight for them in the future.
Han Xiao had not returned for a few months, but he had been paying attention to the progress of the development union's preparations. He had a lot of information and was very clear about the basic system and personnel of the association.
After introducing everyone one by one, Manison looked at Han Xiao and slowly said, "In the past few months, the development union has been quite good.
Black Star, you've only returned recently, and this is your first meeting. Do you have anything to say? You're one of the main initiators, so we'd like to hear your opinion. "
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on him.
Han Xiao cleared his throat and said, "I don't have any objections.
Everyone has done a good job. Back then, during the Meeting of the Gods, we discussed this issue. In the end, I was put in charge of building the communication platform, and there are already results. As everyone knows, the development union's main purpose is to mediate conflicts between Beyond Grade As. I heard that many of you here have not been on good terms recently, so I hope this platform can be built as soon as possible. The entire universe urgently needs such an organization to bring peace to them. "
"Black Star, well said." Manison continued, "Everyone here knows that the development union has encountered some obstacles along the way. Now, these obstacles have basically been removed, and the only thing left is that the negotiation of the Ultimate Knowledges cannot continue. We need to put this matter aside for now. The most important thing now is to decide on the management candidates and let the development union be officially established as soon as possible."
Without a doubt, the three Universal Civilizations would not budge on the issue of the Ultimate Knowledges. After a series of intense arguments, both sides maintained a certain level of restraint and decided to turn this topic into a secret negotiation process. However, neither side had enough bargaining chips, so they could not do anything to each other for the time being. Thus, there would not be a result for the time being.
Therefore, some peak Beyond Grade As, including Manison, changed their minds. They were not willing to let this issue delay the establishment of the development union, so they temporarily put this matter aside and did not publicly make the Ultimate Knowledges a faction benefit of the association. As for whether they would teach it privately, that was another story.
The last hurdle for the official establishment of the association was that the management team had not been decided for a long time. The reason was that Black Star had not returned. Now that Han Xiao had finally arrived, everyone could not wait to solve this crucial problem.
"That's right. It's time to decide on the president …" An Ancient One looked around and took the initiative to speak. "In the past few months, His Excellency the Mecha Empire has represented the development union and endured a lot of pressure. His performance speaks for itself. I propose that Manison be the first president."
As soon as this topic was brought up, many supporters agreed. For a time, Manison's momentum covered the entire hall.
In the past few months, Manison had not been idle. He had made use of the connections he had accumulated over the years. Not only did more than half of the peak Beyond Grade As support him, many of the other Beyond Grade As were also roped in by him. This was especially so for the Ancient Ones. Most of them were in favor of the Mecha Empire becoming the president.
The other two candidates had been completely suppressed in the past few months. Knowing that they did not have a chance, they basically withdrew from the competition.
At this time, everyone intentionally or unintentionally looked at Han Xiao. He had disappeared for a few months, and the only thing they could not figure out was what he was thinking.
Manison could not help but look at Han Xiao. This was the final variable that stopped him from becoming the president, so he had to take it seriously.
However, Han Xiao only smiled and did not say anything.
Kasuyi's gaze moved between the two of them, and he probed, "If there are no objections, let's vote. Does everyone agree that Manison will be the first president of the development union?"
"Agreed." "Seconded." "Abstained." "Agreed."
Because everyone present was a big shot, and there were only a few of them, there was no need for a complicated selection ceremony. A simple vote was enough.
Everyone expressed their opinions, and Han Xiao also abstained.
Seeing this, Manison was completely relieved. As long as Black Star did not cause trouble, his position was set in stone.
The direct members of the three Universal Civilizations all abstained. Clearly, they had reached an agreement long ago. In the end, Manison obtained absolute support.
Seeing this, Kasuyi took a deep breath and said with a deep voice, "It's decided then. Your Excellency Manison 'The Ancient One' Papachi will officially be the first president."
"Okay."
The muscles on Manison's face did not move, and no emotions could be seen. He did not need to be polite, and there was no need for him to be humble.
Clap clap … Everyone gave a few symbolic claps.
When the applause stopped, Kasuyi looked around and asked, "Then, the position of vice president, who …"
At this time, Han Xiao suddenly smiled and said, "The establishment of the association relied on the influence of the Black Star Corps in the Flickering World. My contribution is not small, so this position is more suitable for me. What do you guys think?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and did not look surprised.
With Black Star's strength and status, he would be a director at the very least. Coupled with the important assistance provided by the Black Star Corps, he was naturally qualified to take the position of vice president.
In fact, there was a reason why Han Xiao did not fight with Manison. When he learned that the president was elected on a rotating basis, he gave up on the idea of being the first president.
On one hand, he did not have a strong foundation and could not compete with Manison's connections. On the other hand, he once again analyzed the pros and cons and did not want to bear the main pressure in the early days of the association. If his position was taken by someone else later on, it would be equivalent to being used as a tool.
Han Xiao had run to the secondary dimension to hide for a few months, and he also had this idea. He could not possibly do everything and still not be elected president in the end. Therefore, he simply let Manison and the others bear the main pressure while he ran back to pick the fruits of his labor. Anyway, he was the main initiator, and the Black Star Corps had also helped the development union. This contribution was huge enough.
With the opportunity to change the position, Han Xiao was not in a hurry. He did not want to fight head-on with Manison. Instead, he took a step back and asked for the position of vice president. He would fight for the position of president in the future.
In fact, even if he chose to fight head-on, he would not be able to pick the fruits of Manison's labor. Han Xiao did not intend to compete with his connections in the first place. Instead, through Kant and Milizaus, he conveyed the benefits of him being the president. The people present still supported Manison, which meant that they had already made a choice. Therefore, even if he had openly challenged Manison just now, he would not have received the support of these people.
Although he had some resources in his hands and could use the opportunity to use the Evolution Cube as a bargaining chip in exchange for the support of some people, he could not do this every time. Furthermore, many of the resources were one-time use. If he used them this time, it would be hard to say what would happen next time.
Since he understood the situation, Han Xiao did not force himself. Only when his qualifications, connections, and influence reached a higher level could he steadily wrestle with people like Manison. After thinking about it repeatedly, he decided to let Manison, this tall man, hold up the sky while he enjoyed the shade under the big tree. He would continue to accumulate resources and slowly pry open the corners of Manison and the others.
After all, he had leeks to harvest, and his growth speed was far faster than others. Since he had such a unique advantage, a strategy like keeping a low profile was more suitable for him.
Many people had designs on the vice president's position, but unfortunately, there were no strong competitors. Kasuyi and the others were not interested in fighting for it. Because Han Xiao was the local tyrant, most people gave him face. Manison, who was in a good mood, also returned the favor. Therefore, there were no twists and turns, and the position of vice president fell on Han Xiao's head in the end.
After getting this position, Han Xiao was relieved.
This was the embodiment of status. He did not spend much to get the position of vice president, which was more cost-effective than fighting for the position of president.
There was no suspense about the next director seat. It had long been decided, and they were all a group of peak Beyond Grade As. Apart from this, there were also three honorary director seats. They did not have actual management rights and were given to the direct peak Beyond Grade As of the three Universal Civilizations. This was naturally one of the conditions of the compromise, and the intention was self-evident.
The first leadership team was established, and the date of the development union's establishment was also set. After these official matters were discussed, the meeting ended. The remote projections disappeared one after another, leaving only the remote projections of Manison and Han Xiao.
"Congratulations on becoming the president," Han Xiao said casually.
Manison showed a long-lost smile and said earnestly, "Don't be discouraged. This is still too early for you. The future belongs to you."
Han Xiao blinked with a playful expression.
Although the exact storyline was different in his previous life, Manison's goal should not have changed. He knew a thing or two about it.
In his previous life, Manison had both ambition and selfishness. He wanted to make the cake bigger so that the strength of the entire Beyond Grade A class would become his backing and help him advance further.
The two of them had different ideas, but there were also parts that overlapped. At least for a very long time, Manison's goal would not be realized. If he wanted a strong enough backing, he would have to wait for the entire class to grow stronger over time.
Han Xiao stopped thinking, pondered for two seconds, and asked, "Regarding the negotiation of the Ultimate Knowledges, what's the offer from the three Universal Civilizations?"
Speaking of this, Manison stopped smiling and said with a meaningful tone.
"The Supercluster Civilization."
Han Xiao immediately understood and shook his head helplessly.
It turned out that this was a move of using the association to deal with a more important opponent while destroying the association's credibility.
"Will you agree to it?"
"I don't know. We'll see."
Manison did not answer. After saying this, his projection also went offline, leaving only Han Xiao in the conference room.
Han Xiao looked at Manison's empty seat and suddenly chuckled.
Great director, this seat is not easy to sit in …
…
Galaxy Calendar Year 730, July 11th, a sudden news bomb exploded in the Flickering World.
Nearly a hundred Beyond Grade As jointly announced that due to the recent conflicts, they had decided to form a union-like organization to mediate the conflict between Beyond Grade As to reduce the public losses caused by the fighting.
It was reported that the headquarters of this organization was located on Planet Finn in the Flickering World Emerald Star Cluster. The president was Manison of the Mecha Empire, and the vice presidents were Black Star and Han Xiao. There were nearly a hundred Beyond Grade A members.
The three Universal Civilizations publicly stated that they did not deny the legitimacy of this organization and called on all Supers in society to follow this example and reduce the abuse of power.
The Flickering World Beyond Grade A Development Union was officially established on that day!
After a few months, after the explosive news of the rescue of Hella, countless citizens and organizations in the various Star Fields were once again in an uproar!
