374 To Not Commit Oneself Until Success Is Certain (2/2)
However, she also didn't dare to make her movements too obvious. Therefore, she focused her attention on a corner of the Eternal Fortress, designating it as an area for the Global Dharma City. There was something that she wasn't too clear about, and that was that Wang Baole seemed to be responsible for constructing the stronghold, but was actually facilitating the Qi Fostering Spirit Array Formation!
After all, this new city zone was constructed in order to form the array formation. This matter was considered a secret, and people who were Secondary Rank Three or below didn't have the authority to know about it. Wang Baole was an exception, as he had a unique identity and was informed by the Martian Colony Governor.
Even though Li Yi also knew about it, she didn't have a complete view like Wang Baole did. Naturally, she couldn't possess the blueprint for New Mars Region's array formation like Wang Baole!
In reality, minor adjustments had been made to Wang Baole's Eternal Fortress so that the stronghold and the array formation could integrate with each other perfectly!
That meant that no matter how powerful Li Yi's Global Dharma City was, it would be difficult for it to integrate perfectly with the array formation. This way, errors would be obvious.
Right now, however, Li Yi didn't seem to realize that and was instead very excited for the day to arrive when she could prove that her Global Dharma City was superior to the Eternal Fortress.
Just like that, time passed. The construction of the new city zone officially began, with transformations visible every day. Areas of construction and plots of land were constantly being constructed at an astonishing speed.
It was also at this moment that Jin Duoming finally arrived. As the last vice mayor, he may be late, but he brought along an astounding amount of resources and manpower. The speed at which the new city zone was being constructed had visibly increased by the second day he arrived.
After meeting Jin Duoming, Wang Baole relinquished more of his power, passing Jin Duoming the responsibility to act like a housekeeper responsible for the internal affairs of the new city zone. He even told Jin Duoming that this was a chance for him to prove himself!
That surprised Jin Duoming. He felt that what Wang Baole said made sense, and since he had nothing better to do, he was enthusiastic about his job. However, after a few days, he felt tired and bitter.
There were simply too many things to handle and oversee in the new city zone's construction process. If everyone worked equally hard, it wouldn't feel so miserable. However, Wang Baole was the one who became the freest, having time to either cultivate or bring the donkey walking in the new city zone. Therefore, after bearing with it for a few days, Jin Duoming finally exploded in unhappiness, realizing that he didn't even have time to flirt with the ladies anymore.
However, the way he expressed his unhappiness wasn't to argue with Wang Baole. Instead, he sent an order to Trilunaris Corporation, assigning hundreds of management elites from Mars to become his assistants, helping him to manage the internal affairs of Mars. This way, he could relax and had the time to pursue Li Yi…
The way Jin Duoming went after girls in the past was to give them a ton of money until the other party gave in. However, this time, he decided to try a different method to see if he could move Li Yi, not by giving money, but by pursuing her with his capabilities.
He already had this idea when he was in the Martian City, and this thought had remained now that he was in the New Mars Region. He was around Li Yi every single day, which made Li Yi extremely annoyed. However, when she thought about Jin Duoming's status, she rolled her eyes and bore with the annoyance, occasionally stirring discord between Jin Duoming and Wang Baole.
In response to Li Yi trying to sow discord, Jin Duoming always appeared to be angry at Wang Baole, wanting to go against him. In reality, however, he wasn't the least bit affected, as he understood the implications of the matter, and didn't want to be part of the battle between the two of them.
However, he still hinted to Li Yi that as long as she became one of his Dao partners, he would immediately roll up his sleeves and bash Wang Baole up.
This attitude of not committing oneself until success is certain made Li Yi grit her teeth. Seeing Li Yi's response, Jin Duoming was heartbroken, as he felt that it was a beautiful sight. He decided to secretly support Wang Baole!
That was because the more he supported Wang Baole, the more powerful Wang Baole would be. At the same time, Li Yi would become more angry and annoyed, and that would perhaps make Li Yi agree to become his.
In order to agitate Li Yi even more, Jin Duoming didn't hide his support for Wang Baole and instead made it very obvious to Li Yi.
”Can you see that with the resources I hold, whoever I help would be at an advantage. How's this? If you become one of my three hundred Dao partners, I will help you!”
”You a**hole! Get lost!” Li Yi exploded at Jin Duoming angrily.
