Taking Office

For Zhang Xuezhou, who suffers from physical ailments, there isn't much he can do right now.

On one hand, he was involved in alchemy and medicine making; on the other hand, he had discovered a back door to the Eastern Mountain's fortune during his previous infiltration of Emperor Luo Yan's tomb, which would allow Zhang Xuezhou to refine his physical strength.

His brain injury has been partially repaired by Zuo Luo and others, but it remains difficult to implement various avoidance techniques. Perhaps researching alchemy and medicine with a bit of luck in mind would be more effective.

After taking everything into consideration, Zhang Xuezhou, once he regained consciousness, went to the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum Management Office.

Zhang Xuezhou had little interest in the official position of Grand Master of the Palace, nor was he enthusiastic about the position of Director of the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum Management Office, but Zhang Xuezhou hoped to tap into the auspicious energy of the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum.

Zhang Manqian needs to accompany Qin Wenhan, Song Bu'er, and others to the Aomeijia Alliance. Ren Anran, Ren Yisheng, and others seek to promote the seventh chapter of the Mental Strengthening Chapter. Wang Li accompanies Zhang Xuezhou to the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum Management Office.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't need anyone to accompany him, but his rank required an inauguration ceremony and the maintenance of a balance of power, so he needed someone to help him with some trivial matters.

"Brother Zhou, if you ask me, you should be the deputy captain of the Western Capital City Special Task Force. What makes you think you can manage the cemetery?" Wang Li said indignantly. "If Zuo Teng can be the deputy captain, there's no way you can't be!"

"My health isn't good, so I can only take this kind of sinecure," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile to Wang Li, who was driving.

"This place is so boring. All the important people are dead, and only the insignificant ones are alive. You can't squeeze a single drop of oil out of them," Wang Li complained.

"It's a temporary position without any actual work, I think it's alright," Zhang Xuezhou said. "By the way, how's the blood serum thing going?"

"Committee Member Zhou took pity on me and let me spend 20 million to buy two doses of high-end Black Tortoise Blood Elixir," Wang Li said. "But I'm consuming the elixir too slowly. I haven't even finished the first dose yet. When do you have time to give me a good spanking?"

"Just ask my sister about this!"

"Sister Manqian said her current fighting skills are a bit too strong for me, and she's afraid she'll kill me!"

"Too!"

Although Zhang Xuezhou and others have entered the Third Sequence, their group either had special reasons or relied on the ferocious beast belt to promote the absorption of blood serum, which led to their advanced sequence and the ability to catch up with the previous age group.

Normally, a sequence like Wang Li's is considered relatively normal.

Wang Li is currently in the First Sequence, and is pushing himself into the Second Sequence; the tier hierarchy is in the polishing stage.

He lacked blood serum and couldn't consume it as freely as Zuo Teng and others, which caused Wang Li to fall behind the most advanced sequence progress.

Zhang Manqian's claim that she's too rough and could easily kill Wang Li isn't an exaggeration; it's a fact.

At this point, Wang Li had no choice but to ask Zhang Xuezhou to see if he could use the Supreme Purity True Technique combined with beatings to speed up the progression of his sequence.

Watching Zhang Xuezhou suppress many young people in Wanping Province, and seeing Zhang Manqian, Ren Anran and others shine, Wang Li was well aware of his own huge gap.

One step behind leads to another; if it weren't for his superior driving and maintenance skills, Wang Li would have been unable to remain in Zhang Xuezhou's team long ago.

Even so, Wang Li knew that driving and maintenance skills were not irreplaceable. After all, these were not high-standard skills, but rather skills that many people simply did not have time to learn.

Once Zhang Xuezhou and others go to the Qin-Meng Red Area or other similar regions in the future, Wang Li will find it difficult to keep up.

"Once An Ran has recovered, you can find An Ran," Zhang Xuezhou said. "An Ran some issues with her hand; once she's healed, she can use you as a practice run to loosen up her muscles!"

"That Sister An Ran..."

"She can do it too!"

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at Wang Li, whose blood serum absorption was slow, and thought it was unlikely that Wang Li would fall behind and fall behind them.

If Turkalando helps him obtain the extract of the ferocious giant ant, Wang Li will become very resilient after taking it, allowing him to accompany them to dangerous areas without dying.

Moreover, Zhang Xuezhou and his group did not engage in conventional head-on battles, which significantly reduced the risks.

Of course, it would be even better if Wang Li could promote the Black Armor Combat Technique.

The two chatted idly along the way, so it wasn't too lonely. When they entered the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum area, they even changed to a ceremonial vehicle.

After half a month, Zhang Xuezhou's inauguration ceremony has been arranged.

The streetlights leading to the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum Management Office have not only been replaced with new ones, but also decorated with bouquets, and special task force members are stationed every fifty meters with guns.

The vehicles of the many guests were parked in an orderly manner in the relevant areas. Zhang Xuezhou looked up and felt that there would be a lot of guests gathered for the inauguration ceremony.

Having few guests is a good thing, as it means he has very few people to entertain.

But having too many guests is also a good thing; if he can't possibly entertain them all, he won't need to entertain them much.

The most troublesome situation is when something is mixed in with just the right amount of material.

Considering that the inauguration ceremony was arranged by Li Yingbo and others, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the arrangement was quite appropriate.

He sat in the ceremonial vehicle and moved slowly forward, while the cannons began to roar.

"Zuo Teng wasn't as powerful as you were when he took office!"

Wang Li added enviously.

When Zuo Teng took office, he simply went to the task force management office to report for duty, and then received his identification and other relevant documents, thus completing his appointment.

At the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum Management Office, Zhang Xuezhou's inauguration ceremony was elaborate and diverse, even grand in its own way.

Sitting in the ceremonial vehicle and looking at the parked cars outside, Wang Li estimated that there were at least three to five thousand people here.

But as they continued forward, Wang Li realized that his estimate was still too low.

There were very few people at the entrance of the ceremonial vehicle, only staff from the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum Management Office and special task force members. But as they continued toward the management office, groups of flower children holding bouquets began to stand by the roadside, and further ahead came a drum and music troupe moving in sync. Then, a huge crowd of men, women, and children crowded the roadside, staring at the ceremonial vehicle and occasionally cheering.

As Wang Li continued forward, he saw officials from various departments of Western Capital City.

But these Beijing officials weren't the last row of welcomers. Further in, alternate members of the committee began to appear, and some faces were so solemn that Wang Li vaguely felt they looked familiar.

Many elderly people wearing long gowns sat on stools waiting, surrounded by various young people also wearing long gowns.

Pairs of eyes were constantly fixed on the moving ceremonial vehicle, trying to get a clear look at the faces inside.

Various cameras were constantly filming the scene, and television reporters were also broadcasting related news.

"Brother Zhou, this is too... too big! Even ten people's weddings couldn't be this big!"

Just thinking about the scene of the ceremonial car pulling out made Wang Li shudder inexplicably; he felt as if he were the center of attention.

"It's better to have more people!"

Zhang Xuezhou looked at the guests outside.

If time hadn't been so tight, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Li Yingbo would have arranged for even more people to come.

He could see the weapons worn by some young men in long gowns, and he could also see heavily armed special task force members gathering in large numbers, including some commissioners from other provinces and cities.

This was a welcoming celebration of his inauguration, but also a forceful and intimidating show of force.

The number of remnants and descendants gathered there was very large, and combined with the residents of Dongshan, the number was likely to exceed ten thousand. The number of people suppressed was also absurdly high. This was not only due to the quantity of attendees, but also their quality.

Zhang Xuezhou could even see the scars on some people's faces that were difficult to conceal.

Clearly, conflicts had already arisen before his arrival, but these conflicts subsided due to stronger jurisdiction.
