There was no doubt that the news about the final ranking match was a bombshell. One stone stirred up a thousand ripples. On the second day after the ranking was announced, the announcement made by the executive of the Chronometer Tower Consortium, the judges of the final trial, and the Wessex Technology Company made headlines all over the world.
Every numbered city was in a state of turmoil, and undercurrents were surging. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune. Both the open and the secret dealers were setting up bets and competitions, and all kinds of bets were being placed.
The cities that were lucky enough to have a contestant began to advertise the contestant with great fanfare, as if they were going to make him or her a hero.
City 0127, the headquarters of the military.
Early in the morning, all the military employees who were still on vacation were called back to the headquarters to discuss how to advertise the final ranking match.
In the past, cities with normal numbers like City 0127 were not fated to participate in the final ranking matches.
Of the 240 contestants, the ten spots in District 1 of the Subcontinent continent, were all taken by the most powerful forces. The most powerful force in City 0127, the Sea of Conquerors, was only a Copper force. They were far from being able to participate in the final ranking match.
However, this time, the entire military was stunned when the ranking was announced.
Second place, Li Xiang. Tenth place, Ji Yanqing.
Those were all real people who had left their city.
Li Xiang was from the Hou City. His resume was clear. Ji Yanqing was from the Seawatch City. The Ji family had been a family of ancient warriors for generations. After the Tarot cards destroyed her family, she had been living in the Seawatch City. She could be considered a native of the Seawatch City.
In the past, the numbered cities that had at least one contestant were all super cities.
In the office of the commander-in-chief of City 0127.
Qian Wen was almost sixty years old. He had been stuck as a Level 3 Magician for many years. When he realized that there was no chance of him passing the player's test, he asked to be transferred to a local military department.
He had thought that he would be able to stay in the military until he retired. He didn't expect that such a rare opportunity would happen in his district.
At this moment, Qian Wen's office was surrounded by the military leaders of the various subordinate cities. They were all at least majors. In the military, anyone below the rank of Senior Colonel could be obtained through experience and connections. However, it was also a symbol of one's status.
Among this group of people, Wang Haisheng was particularly conspicuous. He used to be the second-in-command of the Hangzhou Military Department in City 0127, but no one dared to look down on him.
The leader was an old man who was nearing retirement. He was in the prime of his life, but he was already a senior colonel just like the commander-in-chief. Even a fool would know that he had powerful connections.
He was also the only second-in-command who attended this meeting. Now, he was transferred to the military headquarters in City 0126.
"Senior Colonel Wang, what do you think? We, [Sea of Conquerors], intend to invite these two little guys to be honorary members. They will enjoy the treatment of a cadre, but they won't have to perform any obligations. They can also quit at any time. Consider it as a good karma. " The one who spoke was a middle-aged man. He was the representative of the Sea of Conquerors, and he held a high position in the organization.
Although a Copper Force would have at least ten players protecting it, that was only in name. Only Secret-Silver Forces or above could truly have their own players.
Therefore, he knew the influence of a player on an organization. To be able to get in touch with these two little guys who had a high chance of becoming players, losing some resources was nothing.
Wang Haisheng smiled when he heard this. He took a sip of tea and said seriously, "I don't ask about your business. But from what I know, Li Xiang is a good kid. He and my son are close friends, so you guys won't lose anything. "
The middle-aged man's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately fell silent.
Wang Haisheng's words sounded casual, but there was a lot of information behind them.
Qian Wen was having a headache about Li Xiang. Back then, he and Chen Fan were extremely popular during the Unified Enrollment Exam. In the end, both of them died and were mocked as the "Fallen Twins". Who would have thought that in just a few months, the situation would suddenly change and the two of them would become the rare geniuses of City 0127?
Although Chen Fan didn't make it into the top ten, he was still in the top one thousand with almost fifty thousand points. It was rumored that the First Military University of China had already taken a liking to him. With such a result, his future in the military wasn't something these old guys could compare to.
Now that they wanted to promote Li Xiang, the Hou City military and the education department were in an awkward position. Even Hou City High School was too embarrassed to put up the banner of "Excellent Alumni".
"Haisheng, you said that Bo 'er knows Li Xiang?" Qian Wen rubbed his hands and asked, "Then see if you can get Bo 'er to contact him and resolve the small conflict."
Wang Haisheng chuckled. He had also heard about it. After Li Xiang's death awakening, he fell from being a highly regarded genius to an ordinary person that no one cared about. The military was probably behind it as well. However, no one would have expected him to enter the polar night and be reborn from the ashes.
"Elder Qian, you must be joking. They are now preparing for the final ranking competition. How can we just disturb them? But from what I see, Li Xiang isn't someone who holds grudges. If you really want to, you can get him a new home in Hou City to show your sincerity. After that, you can do whatever you want. "
"This … isn't it a bit too …" Wang Haisheng's suggestion was sincere enough, but the military couldn't be so humble.
Qian Wen was a little hesitant, but Wang Haisheng sneered, "Elder Qian, I remember that your City 0127 doesn't have a City Guardian, right? If he can become a player in the Time Tower Alliance in the future, I don't need to say more about the significance."
"Senior Colonel Wang, aren't you overestimating this little guy? Not all of the top three players in the past had become players. Many of them had fallen, and there were countless of them who had risen to the top. Besides, the final ranking hasn't started yet. No one knows his true strength. If he's just a magician, do we need to spend so much money? "Another young major frowned. His words immediately resonated with many people.
Wang Haisheng glanced at him and immediately recognized his identity.
At that time, he was among the people from the military who intercepted Li Xiang at the Hangzhou Relay Station. He came from a northern city and was a typical soldier of the Lion Faction. Because he offended the Hangzhou military last time, he was transferred to the military headquarters of City 0127 by Mo Hai's means.
There was no lack of people who did good things and did bad things everywhere.
"Then I don't know. I was only invited to participate in your military conference. I have said my opinion. It is Elder Qian's business whether to accept it or not." Wang Haisheng stood up and left. He had seen many conflicts in the military. After his daughter, Wang Chongyue, almost lost her life, he became more open-minded.
At the end of the day, this world was still the world of the strong. They could decide the life and death of hundreds of millions of people. Only by becoming a player could one have true freedom.
The only thing he could do was to help Li Xiang fight for resources in his hometown as a reward for his efforts in rescuing his daughter.
He did not care about what happened afterward. There were still a lot of things for him to deal with in the Wang family. Now that his daughter had recovered from her injury, she still wanted to stay in the airship unit. She did not want to go when he tried to persuade her, but now he could not change her mind. She even wanted to marry Bian Hetu, who only had half of his body left.
She was being unreasonable! Wang Haisheng had a headache. The higher-ups had not confirmed Bian Hetu's case, but an outstanding military graduate was sent to the border troops. It was obvious that he had offended someone very powerful. Wang Haisheng's family did not have a strong background and he was now disabled. The best outcome was to retire in the military.
But from his experience, Bian Hetu would probably become an important chess piece in the game of various big shots. He didn't know who he had offended. If he rashly associated with him, it would not be good for the Wang family, him, and his daughter.
By the time Wang Haisheng returned to the military, it was already night time. His desk was piled with documents and information about the final qualifier. The screen was also playing Felios's interview. As soon as he walked into the office, a beautiful female officer walked in with a folder.
"Sir, this is a document from the military headquarters in City 0127." The female officer was wearing a beautiful uniform and a short skirt. She smiled and handed the document to him. "There is Commander Qian's seal on it. I didn't dare to put it in the reception room."
"The document only goes through your hands, right?" Wang Haisheng nodded with satisfaction. Sometimes, assistants who came through the "back door" were not bad. Moreover, their "back door" was not bad.
"Yes, sir."
Wang Haisheng opened the document in confusion. He had just returned. Was there something that could not be said face to face?
He briefly skimmed through the contents and then laughed loudly.
"This Qian Wen is really old. He was swayed by a few words. He actually wants to send Li Xiang to City 0126." Wang Haisheng could not stop laughing.
The female officer was stunned. She asked tentatively, "Sir, are you talking about Li Xiang in the final qualifier? Isn't he from City 0127? "
"Haha, he trained here during the Polar night. If you want to talk about it, we have the right to promote him. Now that Qian Wen is listening to those clowns, he can't put down his pride to please him. He even wants to send him to us. It seems like he is killing two birds with one stone, but he is actually very stupid."
"Why, why?" The female officer tilted her head. She felt that the commander was doing a lot.
"Because this is a stupid thing to lose a watermelon after picking up a sesame seed. This way, they can't keep Li Xiang, and they definitely can't keep Ji Yanqing. " Wang Haisheng was in a good mood. He pinched her slender waist and smiled. "Give my order. Let Hangzhou start promoting Li Xiang. Make sure the funds are enough."
"Yes, sir." She blushed and lowered her head. "Then tonight, I …"
"You? Oh, I almost forgot. Don't worry, I will bring you to the banquet tonight. " Wang Haisheng took out his communication device and was about to send some messages to Wang Bo. He patted her head and said, "Go, change into something beautiful and sexy. There might be military leaders attending this banquet."
"Yes, sir." The female officer was happy and ran out of the office.
