While Old Wang was practicing his Spatial Technology, the Player began their performance.

The decision to showcase the Player' power was made by the members of the Spacetime Legion in a joint meeting.

Because they discovered that, without realizing it, these NPCs were paying less and less attention to them.

"Why isn't the Thousand King Gamblers here?" In the conference hall on the Space-Time, the members of other factions asked, looking in the direction of the people from the Future.

"He just broke through to the Legendary and needs to consolidate his gains. It's alright whether he comes or not. We can just ask him about anything we don't know," Lin Qimeng said.

"Alright, actually we don't really need him to come. Since that's the case, let's begin. You all already know the purpose of inviting everyone here."

"Everyone, please just tell me if you have any good ideas on how to showcase our Player' strength in this election," Qu Zhihua said.

"The best way, of course, is to push Thousand King up!" someone immediately said.

"That goes without saying, because it's basically impossible. Our influence isn't enough, and besides Thousand King, we have no Legendary. That's too fatal!" another person said.

"The timing is terrible. If we waited another two years, we would have directly competed with them!" Wang Xinghe.

He had already given up; this kind of thing was really not something a guild President like him was good at.

"Actually, it's not like we didn't have a chance this time. Have you noticed that there are no professional organizations like lobbying groups, think tanks, public relations firms, or non-governmental organizations in this world? This is one of our breakthrough points!" a professional said.

"That's a good idea, and I'm also developing our people so they can go down to the grassroots level; these positions are very important."

In such a position, one person can influence at least several hundred votes. After all, a local official is more powerful than a distant one, and Normal NPCs in this world are still quite easy to control!

"Good idea. We can take both paths: professional lobbyists can persuade the large neutral groups, and everyone can do their best to send people to the grassroots level."

Also, we must not relax our efforts in various speeches. We should have Thousand King talk about all the problems we have discovered and then promise to improve them.

We do what NPCs dare not do, we change what NPCs dare not change...

The rest of the meeting became a showcase for these experts. Non-professionals like Wang Xinghe, Yang Wanli, and Lin Qimeng could only answer some questions about the game's mechanics; the rest of the time, they could just lie back and watch them perform.

However, to be fair, these big shots are truly capable; before the meeting, none of them thought Old Wang had a chance.

Now that they've given him a shot of adrenaline, they feel that Old Wang not only has a chance, but a very good chance, as if he's about to take office.

This infectious power is truly extraordinary!

However, it's easier said than done. In reality, it won't be as easy as it sounds, and they only have about two months left.

But a positive mindset is what gives hope, isn't it?

~~~

After the meeting concluded that day, the Player applied to the system to register the first Lobbying Company, and surprisingly, the system actually recognized it.

Moreover, the system not only acknowledged their involvement but also granted them certain privileges, such as receiving rewards for conducting lobbying missions.

This really fueled their enthusiasm, and hundreds of Lobbying Company were established instantly. These are the people who actually do this kind of work in real life.

Their first task was to persuade the people of the Mecha World to vote for Old Wang.

After the Lobbying Company started their operations, the leaders of the major guilds also issued tasks to their guild Player, which was to have them become the lowest-ranking officials on various Planet.

Of course, if you can, it would be even better if you could become a high-level executive.

Therefore, the announcement issued by the Spacetime Legion was:

"Everyone should try their best to become an official, and then vote for the Thousand King. There will be a reward!"

No official rank is too low, but of course the higher the better. If you have the opportunity to be in charge of a Planet, the entire legion will give you their full support.

If you have the opportunity to take charge of a Star Domain, the entire legion will sell everything they own to support you.

If you have any special methods to share, the Legion will reward you.

"Tell us if you have any Hard, and reinforcements will be there immediately!!!"

Rice Fragrance Star

Old Zhang is a casual Player; he's not very interested in Mecha combat.

He was among the first group of players to join the game when it launched, but he's only level 30 so far.

Keep in mind that the average level of new players is already level 30, so his leveling up is really slow.

Old Zhang plays this game solely to earn some extra money to support his children.

Therefore, he prefers to peacefully manage his small farm rather than fight.

More than ten months ago, by chance, Old Zhang became a proud village chief in his farm.

The main reason is that he uses Earth Star technology for farming. Compared to the Mecha World, which developed extraterrestrial civilizations much earlier, land on Earth Star is extremely scarce.

Therefore, in order to grow more food with limited land, Earth Star's farming technology is far ahead of that of the Mecha World.

Old Zhang became the village chief by virtue of this technical advantage, leading the whole village to get rich through farming.

Some time ago, when the Spacetime Legion was established, Old Zhang joined the regiment as a Solo Player and was assigned to the logistics unit.

He met many expert players here, and his skills were no match for theirs. Under their guidance, he and his NPCs earned much more.

However, wealth can be tempting, and troubles soon follow.

He said that the highest-ranking official on the Planet coveted his technology and wanted him to hand it over.

It's really nothing. Food prices in the Mecha World are very stable. He and his crew only have so much land, so sharing this technology won't affect him at all.

However, human greed is sometimes limitless, so the NPCs not only want their skills, but also want them kicked off this Planet.

Old Zhang was naturally unwilling. He had been operating on this Planet for so long, and the other party was trying to cut off his source of income!

A conflict ensued. Although Old Zhang was only level 30, his opponent's level wasn't very high either. Both sides were basically playing with terrible skills.

However, Old Zhang's side was worse off. All of their men were seriously injured. If Old Zhang hadn't been a village chief, they might have been killed on the spot.

The other party gave them three days to get out of Rice Fragrance Star.

"We've found out the truth. Their goal isn't our farming methods at all. That damned Zhou Bapi is afraid that Lao Zhang will steal his position as the city lord of Daoxiang Star!" An NPC approached Lao Zhang and the others and said.

Old Zhang: "??? How could I possibly steal his position as City Lord?"

Old Zhang was very puzzled. He was still several major ranks away from becoming the City Lord, how could he possibly leapfrog ahead in one step?

"It's normal that you didn't know since you came later. The position of City Lord of Rice Fragrance Star was actually elected by everyone, and the election is just a few days away."

"That Skinflint Zhou used to become the City Lord by promising to rent out the most land on the Planet to everyone at a low price."

"What do you mean by cheap? After he became the City Lord, the rent not only didn't decrease, it actually increased."

But they had no choice but to select him, because the Zhou family controlled the entire Planet's food sales channels.

Those who couldn't stand their family have already moved off this Planet, leaving only those of us who can't afford to move, and then there are those who came later who are even poorer than us!

"Yes! Sigh~ We originally planned to elect you as the City Lord this time, but we didn't expect him to make his move ahead of schedule..."

With everyone chiming in, Old Zhang finally understood why he was being targeted.

Just then, the Spacetime Legion's announcement rang out, Old Zhang smiled when he saw it.

"This is truly a case of being delivered a pillow when you're sleepy; timing is everything! Hahahaha!"

What Skinflint Zhou! Are those big shots in the Spacetime Legion really that powerful? What kind of paths do they take? They don't even care about this tiny little Planet.

Old Zhang didn't know was that the people in the logistics corps who were talking to him about farming were actually big shots from the Central Institute.

In terms of farming, he's ahead of all the Normal Player; only the top players can give him pointers.

Only those big shots would treat a small village chief like him with normal respect.

After seeing the announcement, Old Zhang immediately asked for help in the group:

"Reporting, I have the opportunity to become the governor of a Planet, but I've encountered some very troublesome issues!"

As soon as Old Zhang sent out this message, everyone at the command center perked up immediately. They hadn't even dared to imagine that someone could actually be in charge of an entire Planet!

I need to go on a business trip to another city tomorrow, so I need to take a day off!

I hope the leaders will forgive me!
