"They'll definitely still be surprised."

Li Shan replied matter-of-factly, "But it's not to the point of being unacceptable, is it?"

Feng Yixuan stared intently at him, her expression grave, but she did not speak further.

Li Shan sighed.

"Based on my interactions with Lu Bai, I don't think he's a bad person."

Before he could finish speaking, he added, "Yes, I know that talking about good people and bad people sounds a bit naive, but I really don't think this kind of change is a bad thing."

Li Shan turned her head and looked around the cafeteria. "Isn't this fine?"

The fact that Li Shan was willing to sacrifice his [Wind Riding] ability to resolve the missile crisis shows that he is inherently a kind and law-abiding type.

Regardless of how things develop in the future, at least in his view, the Forward Base is changing for the better.

Moreover, it is right to strictly abide by the established rules and regulations. Just because everyone makes mistakes does not mean that they are correct.

Therefore, Li Shan wasn't really opposed to Lu Bai becoming the Spokesperson of the Forward Base.

Seeing that Li Shan had this idea, Feng Yixuan pursed her lips and finally had to lower her voice and say very quickly, "Don't forget, we are all from the City Direct Military faction. The traces of the Cheng Hui cannot be easily erased."

Hearing this, Li Shan frowned slightly.

Feng Yixuan, oblivious to his expression, pressed her advantage, saying, "Two days have passed, and your junior still hasn't given a result regarding our situation as City Direct Military. How can you eat at a time like this?"

Has someone else contacted you?

Li Shan asked abruptly.

Feng Yixuan paused for a moment, then said evasively, "So what? Did I say something wrong?"

Li Shan's expression was inscrutable. "Treating everyone equally is how City Direct Military was dealt with. What you really want to ask is what privileges City Direct Military can still obtain, right?"

These words clearly struck a chord with Feng Yixuan, and her tone immediately turned angry as she unleashed a barrage of questions.

"Shouldn't it be? You don't actually believe in equality for all, do you? If we deathmatch fighters were truly equal to ordinary people, your junior should be the first to step down. Everyone knows how he got there—just because he's strong enough."

Compared to the members of the Team One of City Direct Military who had completely lost their abilities, Feng Yixuan still retained her [Lion's Roar Skill].

Possessing supernatural powers, they naturally don't want to have the same rights as ordinary people.

She wasn't worried that Lu Bai would hear her. After all, although [Mindstream Network] was running, there were just too many people in the Forward Base. It was obvious that Lu Bai couldn't possibly keep an eye on what these people were saying every single moment.

Now that she'd said so much, she naturally didn't need to hide her thoughts any longer.

"And then there's the upcoming war with the Mona people. If he doesn't rely on us death fighters, who else can he expect from these ordinary people? In the end, won't he still have to rely on us death fighters to risk our lives for him? Shouldn't we get some more benefits?"

Li Shan sighed inwardly.

He could tell that there were quite a few fighters who shared the same thoughts as Feng Yixuan.

The reason the city council was able to settle these supernatural fighters was not only because none of them were as strong as Lu Bai, who could sweep everything aside, but also because the treatment they received was quite generous.

Currently, Lu Bai has no intention of granting special privileges to deathmatch fighters, so it's understandable that these fighters are dissatisfied with this.

After a moment of silence, Li Shan stood up and said, "I'll talk to Lu Bai about this. You should eat first."

"If possible, I suggest you pay more attention to the movements of those deathmatchers."

After listening to Li Shan's reminder, Lu Bai's expression remained unchanged.

He casually poured a glass of water, pushed it in front of Li Shan, and teased, "You volunteered to be this 'mole,' so you must not have any faith in these deathmatch fighters, right? Then these deathmatch fighters aren't worth taking seriously either."

"It's not a question of whether it's worth paying attention to or not."

Li Shan gave a wry smile, then said seriously, "I just agree more with your approach, and I believe Principal Pu also supports you."

Many people have the idea of helping others when they are successful, but they choose to blend in with the crowd because they lack the power.

Lu Bai remained noncommittal, instead asking, "Do you think I should grant these deathmatch fighters special privileges?"

"It shouldn't have been given."

Li Shan offered her answer, "Rewards should be given based on contributions; distributing rewards based on who makes the most noise will only cause endless trouble."

Seemingly worried that Lu Bai might waver, he immediately added, "A political entity's policy direction can easily slide into the direction of least resistance, but you should be clear that this phenomenon itself is wrong."

Lu Bai patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't need to worry. "For me, there is no resistance in any direction."

If some people with supernatural powers really got together and caused trouble, they might actually be able to make a big fuss.

However, the damage they could cause was very limited in the face of Lu Bai, who possessed the ability to "load saves".

Lu Bai had this confidence.

Inside a civil defense facility.

With a ticking sound, the doors of a secluded elevator opened, and hundreds of eyes turned to look outside.

These eyes held curiosity, nervousness, but mostly uncertainty about the future.

Two staff members standing outside the elevator doors used a megaphone to urge everyone back to the ground. Please exit the elevator in an orderly manner and do not crowd.

After the elevator was emptied of its passengers, the doors closed immediately to transport the next group of people.

Guided by staff, the confused crowd headed towards the exit of the civil defense facility.

After all, the Ground Return Plan had been underway for some time, and these staff members had received countless groups of new residents. They were quite adept at guiding them, so it didn't take much time to get the group of residents to join the main group and leave the civil defense facility in an orderly manner.

The moment they stepped out of the civil defense facility, a young man in the crowd suddenly looked up at the sun overhead and gave a strange smile.

The young man then looked around, and faced with all those blood packs, he forcibly suppressed his urge to go on a killing spree, instead focusing his attention on the real-time positioning image in front of his retina.

The young man grinned. "Let's deal with this after we fix this so-called system error."

He has now accepted the fact that he was chosen by the Deathmatch System.

Especially after he learned about the history of this world, he even suspected that the fact that he was able to sneak out of the cultivation world was most likely the work of the Deathmatch System.
