387 Remaining Vigilant Even in Safe Times (2/2)
He sighed.
Who would the three mayors be…? The Deputy City Lord as well… Wang Baole's head throbbed. He didn't fear that the people appointed would be too powerful but simply felt that there were too few people of his alliance around him.
Lin Tianhao could be considered as one, but combining Kong Dao and Jin Duoming… they can't be considered as one of my people… Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He knew that after the new city was constructed, it would be on such a large scale that it would require an immense amount of people in the system. Each faction would inevitably arrange for their own manpower, and that was exactly the scenario that Wang Baole was most afraid of.
I should never become a figurehead! Wang Baole took a deep breath, remaining extremely vigilant even though he was now safe. Thoughts circulated in his head, and he decided to send Zhuo Yifan a voice transmission to seek his assistance.
However, Zhuo Yifan, who remained in Ethereal Dao College, had a duty to fulfill, and wouldn't be able to come at short notice. After expressing his disappointment, he reminded him about the issues of safety, before putting away the voice transmission ring and sending a voice transmission to Zhao Yameng.
”I can't go to Mars… Furthermore, I will be transferred from my current department and be deployed for duty in the President's Office. Baole, I can't help you this time. However, if you meet any problems on Mars, you can still tell me, and I will help you if I can.” Zhao Yameng first said that it wasn't convenient for her to help, and then extended her assistance somewhat half-heartedly. However, Wang Baole, who was extremely disappointed, didn't think much about it. He sighed, and discussed some details of the array formation with her casually, before putting down the voice transmission ring. He took a deep breath and raised his head.
It seems like the only thing I can do is use my trump card! A glow flashed across Wang Baole's eyes. He opened the voice transmission ring and flipped to Liu Daobin's number, before sending a voice transmission to him.
”Liu Daobin, come help me at Divine Armament New City!”
Liu Daobin, who received the voice transmission, was leading his Armament Soldiers to inspect the administrative work in the Dharmic Armament Pavilion. The moment he saw Wang Baole's voice transmission, he immediately picked it up agitatedly.
”City Lord, I…”
”Are you coming or not?” Wang Baole asked again.
”I'm coming!” Liu Daobin took a deep breath and answered loudly. He stopped leading his Armament Soldiers for the inspections, and instead sped to the peak of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion to report his work progress. He was extremely excited, as he felt that the chance he had been waiting painfully for had finally arrived!
At the same time, Wang Baole also sent a voice transmission to the Ethereal Dao College Sect Lord. They communicated, and after hearing about the difficulties Wang Baole faced, the Sect Lord laughed. He had long predicted that such a problem would surface. In reality, if Wang Baole didn't send him a voice transmission, he had planned to discuss the matter with Wang Baole one of these days. Now, without hesitation, he agreed.
”Baole, you are the most outstanding student of Ethereal Dao College. I have always had great expectations of you. Don't you worry about this matter. Ethereal Dao College is your home, and we will support you fully. It's just manpower, right? I'll make arrangements to send a large number of students to you immediately so that they can become your eyes in each of the departments of Divine Armament New City!”
The Sect Lord gave his complete support, and that calmed Wang Baole down, lifting his mood. Therefore, while he was waiting for the arrival of the cultivators from the Ethereal Dao College, he also wondered about who the Deputy City Lord could be.
He knew very well that the Deputy City Lord wasn't a mayor. With his Noble title, he could order the mayors around, but he needed to tone down when handling the Deputy City Lord.
It's best if it's someone I know. That way, it would be easier to work. As Wang Baole thought about the candidate for the Deputy City Lord, days went by. The plans for the entire city were completed, and people from the Ethereal Dao College arrived in tens of large cruisers in the skies above the Divine Armament Zone!
Liu Daobin, who had rushed from Earth, was extremely agitated in the cruiser. As he neared the Divine Armament New City, he felt that the road to success was paved right beneath his feet!
Follow the City Lord and serve him well. That way, I will never lose out! Liu Daobin patted his storage bag with gusto. It was filled to the brim with snacks…
In terms of currying favor, if I, Liu Daobin, claim to be second, no one in the Ethereal Dao College would dare claim first place! Liu Daobin raised his head with extreme pride.
