Grian Had Done a Pretty Good Job

"No, no, the people inside have been starving for an extra month, and they're waiting for me to deliver supplies. I'm also about to enter a deep sleep, so I can't go to Qinmeng with you right now!"

Badun wants to invite Zhang Xuezhou.

Besides Zhang Xuezhou's personal abilities, Badun was well aware that Zhang Xuezhou could contact the Sequence Holder groups of the Scarlet Alliance State for assistance.

Although the top-tier Sequence Holder of the Scarlet Alliance State are imprisoned in the small world, there are still Zhu Bufan, Zhong Rang, Cai Guoli, Song Xianzhong, Zuo Lianguang, and others outside.

Each of these people is Seventh Sequence. A large number of Lineage with Sequence Holder migrated to Western Capital City, and it was thanks to these people that the overall situation of the Scarlet Alliance State was stabilized.

For Badun, Ninth Sequence individual, the Seventh Sequence individuals were of limited strength, and defeating them was easy for him. However, when it came to actually doing things, it was a completely different story.

These people have a certain fighting ability and can be divided into four directions—east, west, south, and north—to lure the opponent, something Badun alone could hardly do.

As for the Seventh Sequence practitioners within the Aomeijia Alliance, let's not even talk about them. In recent years, only Steel and Clark have been lucky enough to reach the Seventh Sequence. Others either have a very low probability of reaching the Seventh Sequence, or are rejected due to insufficient character, or lack the necessary beast extracts for a match.

Few people could meet Badun's requirements, and even fewer could cooperate in the work.

After making the trip to Qin Meng, Badun had no choice but to return to the Scarlet Alliance State for assistance.

"The risks of this mission are very high. It's one thing if some people die, but the real problem is that without the strength, we can't even lure the enemy in," Badun sighed. "Lacking the resistance layer of the Seventh Sequence, we'll die before we even get deep into the cave. If you can't go, can you help me get a few experts to help?"

"Are you kidding me? Who would work so hard for me?" Zhang Xuezhou shook his head repeatedly.

"Those two bastards Changkong Luo and his ilk, are quite cunning. They're willing to follow you to that godforsaken place; it's no exaggeration to say they're risking their lives," Badun said. "And what's more, you've dragged so many people along..."

"I couldn't even get Zhu Bufan to help me in my life-or-death struggle, how could I possibly drag them into something that would send them to their deaths!"

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head repeatedly, directly interrupting Badun.

Zhang Xuezhou was able to mobilize so many people by offering real benefits, not just by saying a few words. He's not so shameless as to encourage others to their deaths.

He gave an excuse, and Badun was momentarily speechless after being confronted by Zhang Xuezhou.

"You need to help me think of a way, I really need an expert's help," Badun said. "You mentioned before that only if I help you and you help me can we survive, and you also promised to help me deal with the spider swarm!"

"My promise will definitely not change, but we can only provide assistance once those inside are released!"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed to the location of the distortion, a request that gave Badun a major headache.

If he wanted to wait until Ren Yisheng and others reached the Ninth Sequence, or until Changkong Yinghao and others had a thorough grasp of 'fast and slow', he might as well create a batch of Seventh Sequence individuals.

"Since you can't give me direct help, you can at least give me some advanced gene therapy drugs," Badun said.

"What kind of gene therapy drug?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously.

"Is it the drug you persuaded Nagus to provide?" Badun asked suspiciously, "That seems to help increase the success rate of the Seventh Sequence!"

"That's fine!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded; he knew very well that Badun was referring to the great medicine scripture Romano, which originated from the serpent's lair.

The greatest efficacy of the romaine is its ability to prevent snake venom, but the medicinal properties they use focus on promoting the absorption of blood-activating agents and extracts from ferocious beasts. They also have to deal with persistent side effects such as memory loss and mental fog.

Zhang Xuezhou mixed the ingredients of the Spirit-Forging Pill into the Luo Man preparation, causing the consumption of this medicine to generate Law Power, thereby stimulating the body to produce a vomiting rejection reaction.

This can also roughly estimate the dosage of medication taken by the Sequence Holder, preventing them from suffering amnesia like Zuo Lianguang.

This drug is now relatively safe, but Zhang Xuezhou still gave him a few instructions, which made Badun nod repeatedly.

Regardless of any side effects like amnesia, any medicine that can advance the Seventh Sequence is a good medicine.

The Seventh Sequence possesses a resistance layer that eliminates human vulnerability; in special circumstances, ten Sixth Sequence individuals cannot match one Seventh Sequence individual.

Badun is in dire need of talent right now, so he can't care about any side effects.

He believed that as long as the requirements for reaching the Seventh Sequence were met, those in those Sequence Holder could consume the maximum amount.

"By the way, Clark said that Grian is one of your men?"

Badun was satisfied after receiving twenty doses of medicine for free.

Before leaving, he asked a question in a slightly strange tone.

"He... well, I guess. His current position as Speaker of the Grand Council is probably just a puppet. If you want to replace him, I'll go to Brampeda and talk to him, and have him peacefully transfer power to you in a televised address!"

Zhang Xuezhou initially wanted to deny his relationship with Grien, but considering the sacrificial aura emanating from Grien, he admitted it and even made a promise to ensure a peaceful power transition.

"Grian has done a good job," Badun said. "The Aomeijia Alliance is currently stable thanks to his policies, and he's a very good orator. As long as he doesn't make any major mistakes, his policies are what sustain many people's beliefs and significantly reduce the chaos!"

"Well?"

"He's well-suited to govern during times of chaos!"

Badun made a special comment.

Grean's policies were vague and most were impractical, but during the disaster, they became a ray of light in the hearts of many victims.

Many victims are confident that with the government's support, their lives will definitely return to normal, or even be better.

Meanwhile, Grien frequently appeared on screen, delivering televised speeches filled with lamentations and poignant expressions of national resilience in the face of hardship.

This is something Badun would find very difficult to do; his perceptions differ, he cannot speak against his conscience, and he finds it hard to shed tears during a televised address to win public support.

Although Zhang Xuezhou and his group caused trouble in the Aomeijia Alliance and emptied the coffers of local rebellious Lineage, Zhang Xuezhou also did some good things.

Badun was quite satisfied with Grean at the moment and was in no hurry to force him to relinquish the title of Grand Councilor.

"Have him assist the council more in its work, and stop him from thinking about defecting abroad to Western Capital City. I really need him to stabilize the situation," Badun instructed Zhang Xuezhou.

"OK!"

Badun's expression and tone were somewhat strange. Zhang Xuezhou, upon learning the situation, was equally surprised. He never expected that someone like Grean would be a necessity during a period of social chaos, and that people who do practical work and speak the truth are actually detrimental to social stability.

What was originally just a two-faced person casually used to fill cannon holes eventually secured the position of Speaker of the Grand Council, even without Badun's objection.

Having eliminated the opposition from the Montes Lineage, Zhang Xuezhou felt that there was no problem with Grean's governance in the near future.

Given the current state of society, if Grean is to abdicate, it will have to wait until the spider tide problem is resolved.

He had repeatedly wanted to go to the Aomeijia Alliance to finish things up one last time, but recently he has been pulled away by more important matters and has not returned to the Aomeijia Alliance with Badun.

Having initially thought the matter of the sacrificial ceremony's fortune would be disrupted, Zhang Xuezhou breathed a sigh of relief upon learning the key point of the Grian's power rotation.
