Anger looked at Qing Ming somewhat unexpectedly. In her impression, Qing Ming had always been rather low-key as a leader when dealing with the outside world. He was practically a top-tier compromiser, constantly maneuvering between Central China and North America internationally. In the Central China dictionary, the phrase "adept at social maneuvering" was probably meant to describe people like him.

The extraterrestrial higher-ups' handling of Wang Gou Dan had conveyed a very clear message: stronger players received better treatment. The so-called political systems and structures that D-level societies sought were no longer applicable in this civilization with its clearly defined life levels!
"But exceptions do exist." Qing Ming smiled at Elizabeth. "At least City Lord Elizabeth seems to have done quite well so far. There aren't that many Central China Players in Fourth City, but there should still be several thousand, right? Yet City Lord Elizabeth has remained the number-one player. That also proves that the so-called genetic adaptation rate isn't completely impossible to overcome."
