Xue Changqing was completely numb now.
He had chosen the Southeast Headquarters in East Lake Continent solely because it was Chief Fang's base.
But he had never imagined what he would have to face after coming here.
Nor had he imagined what a complete mess everything before him would be.
"General Coordinator... we won't last more than a few days..."
Before Xue Changqing had even sat down, Southeast Chief Officer Zhao Shanhe had already come knocking with Chief Financial Official Qian Ruhai.
Both wore mournful expressions, and they began crying poverty the moment they entered.
"You're finally here. Please, think of something." Zhao Shanhe looked as though he were about to cry. "We're out of money!"
Xue Changqing was stunned. "Wh-what's going on?"
Zhao Shanhe then dragged Xue Changqing to Nirvana Martial Academy.
When he saw that there was actually such a massive city outside East Lake Continent, Xue Changqing was utterly dumbfounded. "What is this? A newly built city? How come I didn't know about it?"
"Ahem. This is Nirvana Martial Academy."
Zhao Shanhe and Xue Changqing stood in the air, looking at the magnificent city stretching for hundreds of kilometers ahead of them. "This should be the final expansion... At present, the children, workers, and faculty inside... altogether number more than fifty million."
"..."
Xue Changqing only felt a buzz shoot straight into his head.
He nearly plunged headfirst from the clouds. "How can there be so many?"
"There's no helping it. Children like these from the entire continent are sent here. There are fewer now; many places only send them once every few months."
Zhao Shanhe's face was ashen. "Nearly forty million disabled children are inside... food, drink, lodging, medicine... the workers' food and drink, the faculty's treatment..."
Qian Ruhai was nearly skin and bones by now.
