Waiting for Fortune
It's that simple!
Ren Anran was in charge of taking down Omega and Daniel, but she did not interfere with any decisions made by Zhang Xuezhou.
Watching Zhang Xuezhou chat briefly with Nagos and then arrange everything properly, Ren Anran took a deep breath.
A single communication could alter the order of the Aomeijia Alliance, a feat akin to turning the world upside down with a flick of the wrist.
The key is whether Zhang Xuezhou can actually do it.
Once it's confirmed that Montes Badun is going to Western Capital City for medical treatment, accompanied by Montes Arthur and others, and with Naggs acting as an inside agent, it shouldn't be too difficult to overthrow the Montes Lineage.
Whether the puppet Grien can serve as the Grand Council Speaker, and how long he can hold the position, is another matter entirely.
"We already have the ability to mobilize these resources, and some things that seem very difficult are actually quite simple," Zhang Xuezhou said. "What's truly difficult is that we spend our entire lives striving to catch up with geniuses who started earlier!"
"Your words remind me of that saying on the internet, 'Ten years of hard study trying to surpass the business acumen of three generations of aristocratic Aristocratic Clan,'" Ren Anran said. "Even if you are excellent in every way, far surpassing those three generations of the Aristocratic Clan, most people's lifelong efforts are still just the starting point that others can easily obtain!"
"Difficult, very difficult!"
Zhang Xuezhou remained silent for two seconds before answering.
Zhang Xuezhou has already surpassed three generations in ten years of hard study, but his competitors are not some useless third-generation idiot.
A cultivator who can dominate a region must possess unparalleled strengths. Defeating such a person requires more than just hard work; even Zhang Xuezhou has repeatedly relied on good luck.
"With this banner raised, everything is now up to fate!"
The fifth flag was erected in a villa area in Blanpeda that had been bombed into ruins.
All that remained of the villa were charred rubble and reinforced concrete; everything inside had been burned to ashes.
Outside the villa, however, the swimming pool was still flowing, and several ornamental trees survived the explosion, still retaining their lush green leaves.
The ten-foot-long battle flag was not conspicuous when planted next to the ornamental trees.
Without strong winds, it would be difficult for most people to see the battle flags.
"There are still sporadic rockets bombarding this ruin. Could they damage this flag?" Zhang Manqian asked worriedly.
"Let's see what fate has in store for it!"
Zhang Xuezhou pointed to the battle flags.
Blanpeda is no ordinary city; it is home to over seven million people and has a vast urban area.
Even if you dropped a thousand rockets, you couldn't destroy this city, not even ten thousand.
The sound of cannons brought chaos and bred countless crimes, but the city remained incredibly noisy, with many passersby even wandering through the ruins, coveting the wealth of the parliament area.
The chaos will continue, with rockets flying from who-knows-where continuing to fall, hitting and exploding everything in their path, making it difficult to control.
Zhang Xuezhou reached out and made a spell, and the newly erected array flags rustled and fluttered as if blown by a strong wind.
Having completed the spellcasting ritual, he felt that the array flag was much more conspicuous and eye-catching.
The activation of the battle flags was quite conspicuous, leaving Zhang Xuezhou with no way to stop it.
He doesn't have any special environment for constructing formations here, so it's impossible for him to use the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation to hide the formation flags. Besides, Zhang Xuezhou doesn't have the materials for that formation.
The Condensation Array he is currently promoting can only be considered half an array. This array has a simple and ordinary structure, and it is purely driven by the circulation techniques he has cultivated. It is more like an extension and expansion of circulation techniques.
"Where is our flag still standing?" Ren Anran asked.
"We'll set up the flag wherever we can find a relatively safe place to stand, even if it's where the trucks are parked!"
Zhang Xuezhou pointed in the direction of the ordinary residential area.
The roar of rockets and gunfights in Blanpeda has continued for nearly a month, but the ordinary residential areas are relatively quiet. Most of the residential areas are not worth bombing, and only some rockets that have missed their mark will fall there.
These residential areas are chaotic, but this chaos won't have much impact on Zhang Manqian and Ren Anran.
Although the plan was to travel through the largest battlefield area of the Aomeijia Alliance, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the safety level of such a place was similar to that inside the Lingshan Wind Cave. It seemed risky, but the actual risk was acceptable.
He couldn't help but think about how he felt lying in the spiritual spring.
If he soaked for twelve days, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the moment he regained consciousness, he would stand up in the spiritual spring water.
If he were chased away by the two leaders of the Western Sect halfway through his soaking, that would be a different matter. Given Xuan Nu's tendency to speak with her magic sword, Zhang Xuezhou didn't think he would lose his life at the hands of the two leaders.
He assessed the safety of both worlds and appeared relatively calm.
"Are we just waiting to meet up with Professor Ren? Or is there anything else we need to do?"
In the next twelve days, besides ensuring Zhang Xuezhou's physical safety, Zhang Manqian also had to think about whether there were other things she needed to take responsibility for. After all, Zhang Xuezhou had spoken up in the communication, which involved real matters that required military action. It was impossible to resolve the factional war Aomeijia Alliance forces with just one communication.
"Nagords will send Grean to our side. An Ran can use martial arts hypnosis to embolden him. Sister, you can arrange a speech for a televised address, making him publicize controversial topics such as his achievements in quelling the rebellion, social equality, and enabling everyone to become Gene Sequence. Make sure Grean memorizes the entire speech and is tested on it!"
"Dad is better at writing this!"
Zhang Manqian had asked for her opinion, but she hadn't expected to receive this kind of request.
Writing a television speech that aligns with the Aomeijia Alliance's suppression of a rebellion requires consulting numerous resources, considering the unique linguistic characteristics of the Aomeijia Alliance, as well as various localization requirements. Just thinking about it gives Zhang Manqian a headache; she feels that even twelve days wouldn't be enough.
"Don't think about doing the work yourself," Ren Anran reminded him. "Blanpeda has four universities. Just pay the students there to write articles, then you can choose one, or compile and summarize their submissions!"
"Huh?"
Zhang Manqian exclaimed in surprise.
For Zhang Manqian, who was once considered a top student, she had indeed just wanted to pick up a pen and write an essay herself.
It wasn't until Ren Anran pointed it out that she realized their thought processes were indeed different.
Compared to her busy schedule, inexpensive yet youthful and hopeful students are indeed more suitable for writing. These children's thinking is idealistic and perfectly matches the requirements of "grand and open" mentioned by Zhang Xuezhou.
"An Ran, you and my brother..."
Zhang Manqian was about to say that Ren Anran and Zhang Xuezhou seemed to have similar temperaments and behaviors, but when she glanced over, she saw that Zhang Xuezhou was already lying on the truck seat.
"If you follow Xuezhou's way of thinking, you'll find that many things become simpler, even our spiritual practice..."
Ren Anran and Zhang Manqian whispered to each other.
In the heart of Mount Ling, Zhang Xuezhou shivered and woke up with a start.
