The materials distributed by Kunlun were just one page to each person, containing the online IDs of a total of 240 people, without their real names.

After receiving the materials, each Time Walker only needs to select the people they want to vote for, up to a maximum of 9 people.

Then the nine people with the most votes went on stage to campaign for more votes.

Qing Chen glanced at it and was shocked to find that his name, Yang Yang, Liu Dezhu's name, and Nan Gengchen's name were all among them. Was this to make it easier for Bai Zhou to choose someone as a director?

Yang Yang, standing to the side, looked at Qing Chen and said unhappily, "Why was I chosen as the representative of the daytime? I don't want to be a director either."

Qing Chen asked, "Who was gloating just now? Aren't you a member of Daylight? Didn't you just say that you do whatever the boss tells you to do?"

"I did that to elevate the boss's status," Yang Yang with a bitter face.

Qing Chen silently observed the crowd and said in a low voice, "It's alright. When you go on stage to campaign, just pretend you don't. All I need is for you to remember the aura emanating from Qing Yuan when you stand with him. After that, I'll have to find a way to locate him."

Yang Yang was taken aback for a moment. "I see. No wonder you had Kunlun list Qing Yuan as a candidate director. It was so that he would show up on his own initiative so that I could mark him."

"Yes," Qing Chen nodded, "It may still not be the Qing Yuan, but I only need him to have appeared so that I know which one is his puppet."

According to Kunlun's rules, everyone can wear a mask and slime costume even when campaigning...

Therefore, given Qing Yuan's habits, it's highly unlikely that the other party will attend in person; even if Qing Chen had the ability, he certainly wouldn't.

However, Qing Chen doesn't have any relevant clues yet; he needs to find a lead first.

Yang Yang's arrival seems to have provided Qing Chen with some more clues to uncover the other party.

That ability to sense force fields and mark others is something that ordinary people cannot do.

Moreover, this is a vote for an online ID, and Qing Chen needs to know whether Qing Yuan's ID is truly Guang Jue.

Yang Yang looked at Qing Chen curiously. "Aren't you afraid Kunlun will discover something?"

Qing Chen laughed and said, "Boss Zheng is so smart, he must have already figured it out. Continuing to hide it will only make him look stupid. However, I also know about Boss Zheng's identity in the Inner World now."

On the form, the members of Daylight checked off Yang Yang, Zard, Huan Yu, and Guang Jue.

Yang Yang futilely checked the "Ice Eye" box, making a final struggle.

Qing Chen asked curiously, "How will Kunlun control the results of this free selection and public vote counting method?"

He looked into the hall, his eyes blinking as he recalled the details of what had just happened, and discovered a strange pattern.

For organizations that truly have a chance of becoming board members, Lu Yuan personally distributes the application forms.

Another group of people, wearing masks, had forms distributed by Ni Ergou.

Qing Chen understood: out of nearly a thousand people in the venue, more than two hundred were Kunlun's own people.

Previously, many people said that Kunlun had a hidden team that appeared when dealing with Wang Yun's parents' wanted notice for Liu Dezhu, and also when dealing with Jindai and Kashima.

But it disappeared again very quickly.

It seems that this group of people came to the venue again under Ni Ergou's arrangement, pretending to be ordinary people, and checked the list that Kunlun wanted according to Kunlun's instructions.

Ordinary organizations, even Hongye, only sent more than twenty people. How can they compare to more than two hundred people?

Then you can choose whoever you want.

Cheating!

Next came the vote counting. Yang Yang watched as she was elected as a candidate for director with the highest number of votes, 379. Not only did more than 200 people from Kunlun vote for her, You Ju, Red Leaf, and various Time Walker who were amazed by her.

The nine people are Zard, Yang Yang, Xiao Ran, Haicheng Wu Yanzu, Jian Shou Qing, Guang Jue, Shancheng Laziji, Lu Yuan, and Yu Cheng.

The last two are registered under their real names; one belongs to Kunlun, and the other belongs to the Jiuzhou.

Then the candidates for chairman and vice chairman can be guessed: chairman Zheng Yuandong and vice chairman He Jinqiu.

The federation has now reached its main point and is nearing its end.

Zard was the first to go on stage to campaign for votes.

He shuffled onto the stage dressed as a slime. "Hello everyone, I'm the representative of Daylight... something seems off. Oh, sorry, I'm the representative of Mr. Huan Yu!"

Below the stage, Huan Yu, hidden inside Pikachu, remained expressionless. He silently watched his unreliable subordinate, feeling that he would die at the other's hands sooner or later.

Zard looked at everyone and said, "When I was little, my mom told me that if there were to be class officers, I had to be proactive..."

They talked for about ten minutes.

Just when everyone thought that was about it, Zard said, "When I was in junior high, my dad told me..."

Zard spent over an hour introducing everyone to his family and friends.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was extremely tense at one point.

Yang Yang was happy for him to talk more, so that she could go on stage later.

Amidst everyone's breakdown, Zard managed to turn his vote-getting campaign into a process of elimination.

At first, everyone wasn't really sure who to choose, but after Zard campaigned for votes, everyone finally knew who not to choose.

It doesn't matter who becomes a board member, as long as it's not Zard.

Yang Yang suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

Qing Chen looked at her curiously. "Why do you seem a little nervous?"

Yang Yang said earnestly, "I have to go up quickly, otherwise if another one is eliminated, I will really be elected."

Qing Chen was both amused and exasperated. So this girl was actually thinking about how to avoid being selected?

When Yang Yang took the stage, she simply said, "Hello everyone, I am Yang Yang, but I don't want to be a director, please don't vote for me."

After she finished speaking, she stepped down from the stage.

But at that moment, Qing Chen suddenly clapped his hands. "We need a director who talks little like this! Vote for her! Vote for her! Vote for her!"

With just this one sentence, Qing Chen resonated with everyone.

Yang Yang looked at Qing Chen: "..."

At that moment, she realized that she absolutely had to take this board position.

After that, everyone's speeches during their campaign speeches were exceptionally simple. Zard spoke for 1 hour and 49 minutes, while the next eight spoke for a total of 40 minutes.

That's not even a fraction of Zard's money.

The only thing that could pique Qing Chen's interest was that "Guang Jue" had really arrived. This was Qing Yuan, officially certified by Kunlun. Although it might not be the real person, Yang Yang had already indicated that she had memorized the other party's force field.

Qing Chen looked at Yang Yang: "If you see this person again next time, will you be able to recognize them?"

Yang Yang said, "As long as he wasn't burned to ashes, we'll definitely be able to recognize him."

"What level is he?"

"D-Class"

"Then it seems that it is not the real person," Qing Chen pondered. If it were Qing Yuan himself, his strength level should be higher.

It seems that Qing Yuan needs many conditions to create puppets, just like Puppet Master.

Otherwise, the other side would definitely try to turn someone even more powerful into a puppet.

The federation has ended.

Yang Yang was elected as a director with the highest number of votes.

The Time Walker bid a reluctant farewell.

Unlike the intense atmosphere during the day, everyone made many friends here.

The leader of the Red Umbrella organization Jian Shou Qing, even shed tears on the spot and invited his acquaintance, Time Walker, to Kuncheng to eat mushrooms.

The scene was quite touching.

Looking at this scene, Qing Chen suddenly felt that everyone seemed to be there to make friends, while Bai Zhou was the only one there to cause trouble.

Standing next to him, Nan Gengchen asked curiously, "Brother Chen, are we leaving already?"

"Yes," Qing Chen nodded, "The next time I travel through time is coming soon. I should go back to Luocheng and rest well in case it takes another month to travel through time."

He had many things to do during this time travel.

Searching for Qing Yuan.

This will help the Parent's Association establish a foothold in City No. 10.

Exchange Qing Mu.

Unearth clues to the Forbidden Item that Qing Xing.

However, Qing Chen did not feel tired.

For some reason, he felt he preferred the tension and excitement of the Inner World to the joy of the Outer World.

Bai Zhou has indeed left, and Yang Yang has gone to Los Angeles with him, wanting to visit Bai Zhou's new base.

She said that as a formal member of Daylight, she should at least get to know the community.

Just as Bai Zhou embarked on his journey home, a young man stood outside the high-speed rail station, somewhat puzzled. "He's really gone? Was it not Bai Zhou who was targeting me? Then who could it be? Am Qing Xing?"

On the high-speed train, Yang Yang looked at Qing Chen with some curiosity. "Since you knew that person followed us to the high-speed train station, why didn't you take action?"

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, "Because I'm not confident I can find his true form yet, if we can't kill him completely, we should try not to implicate the entire Bai Zhou. Letting him suspect others first is also a strategy. What if he really starts a feud with Qing Xing? Even if he doesn't fight Qing Xing, it's not bad to make trouble for the other Shadow Candidate. Besides, you've already arrived in City No. 10 in the Inner World, so you can still find this puppet. It seems like it's not bad for us to observe his daily life controlling the puppet in secret. He thinks everything he's doing is undetectable, but it turns out it's all under our surveillance. Isn't that great?"

Yang Yang muttered under her breath, "Those who play tactics are all dirty-minded."

Um, sorry everyone, that's all for today.

Recently, something rather unexpected happened: Ren Xiaosu brother or sister is going to be born. A few days ago, my wife started experiencing morning sickness. Pregnancy is really tough for women, and their emotions are often unstable, making things chaotic at home. So I need to spend more time with her.

If it's a girl, I'll probably name her Ren Xiaomian. If it's a boy... I haven't decided what to name him yet. I'm currently hesitant, but I hope it's not a boy...
