Chapter 391: Autonomous Zone!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Chen Mu, Wen Huai, and Fang Jing from Plume Manifestation Connate Sect… Looking at the file sent by the Martian Colony Governor, Wang Baole raised his eyebrows slightly. He finally knew that the person who had wanted to rob him but was instead robbed was named Wen Huai.
Wang Baole’s deepest impression about this Wen Huai was that… he was rather poor.
It would have been fine if he was just poor, but he still had to act cool and cover himself with black bandages. His figure isn’t as great as mine, and he didn’t grow as well during puberty like I did… Wang Baole patted his stomach. As he became more knowledgeable, he began to have sentiments of a person who was bored that no one could defeat him because he was too superior.
However, that sentiment all but vanished when he focused his attention on Chen Mu’s profile again. Chen Mu was from the Five Generation Sky Clan, and within this clan, the Chen family’s status was far superior to that of the Zhuo family. Even though both family clans were nuclear family clans, the Chen family clan occupied almost thirty percent of the Five Generation Sky Clan!
Chen Mu, as the eldest son in this generation of the Chen family, may not be the heir to succeed the position of Clan Leader, but the possibility of him eventually taking on the position remained high.
The profile that the Martian Colony Governor has given me is… interesting. Wang Baole held onto the jade slip containing the profile and narrowed his eyes. In reality, anonymous comments from someone, who may or may not be the Martian Colony Governor, were given for every single person listed in the file. There was only a single comment for Chen Mu.
Ambitious but not sufficiently talented!
The comments for Wen Huai were even more vicious, which mentioned that he was malicious and stubborn!
The comment for Fang Jing from the Plume Manifestation Connate Sect was the only one that was slightly better. It merely said that she was hot-tempered.
Wang Baole didn’t know for sure if the three comments were true, but he thought that they were very likely made by the Martian Colony Governor. Therefore, Wang Baole couldn’t help but wonder what the Martian Colony Governor would say of him if she were to assess him.
Without having to think too hard, I know what she’ll say. Handsome, intelligent, the suavest person in the entire Federation. I’m sick of hearing words like these. Wang Baole shook his head. He wasn’t affected by the three comments. He was clear that he should only take other people’s comments as a reference, as he would lose out if he formed the habit of viewing others around him as fools.
However, this Chen Mu is definitely a simpleton! Wang Baole sneered. However, he knew that even though the trio had been appointed as mayors instead of working their way there, this should be the outcome of the discussion between the Federation, Mars, as well as the various factions.
At the same time, in the file, it was also stated that the trio wouldn’t come by themselves. They would bring with them a large amount of resources, similar to the case of Lin Tianhao, Kong Dao, and Jin Duoming, who also provided resources for the construction of the new city.
The tactic used by the Federation and Mars is always about trying to gain something without risking anything of their own. They use it all the time… Don’t they have other tricks up their sleeves? Wang Baole shook his head. Even though the one that would sponsor the most resources was Chen Mu, the displeasure Wang Baole felt towards Chen Mu was still strong. He was a thorn in his eyes.
However, he also understood that in terms of importance, scale, and future prospects, the new city far exceeded that of the new city zone. He was also wielding authority that he never had before. As he enjoyed all of these benefits, it was inevitable that he would clash with the Federation and the various factions.
In reality, these clashes could be considered a battle to a certain extent. However, they were competing not based on divine abilities, but tactic and circumstance.
My cultivation level is still too low. If I were a Nascent Soul now, these ridiculous people would have long been eliminated by me with a single slap. Their family clan and factions wouldn’t dare say a word either! Wang Baole slapped his forehead as he sighed. He gritted his teeth and continued to meditate in seclusion to cultivate.
In the entire life of, I, Wang Baole, everything I’ve owned has been the result of my own efforts. I can’t even remember the amount of sweat and blood that I’ve spared! They will never know that even when I’m snacking, I’m thinking about my journey of cultivation! A look of determination appeared in Wang Baole’s eyes. He knew very well that even though Little Missy had helped him significantly, that even without Little Missy, his achievements wouldn’t pale in comparison to what he had now—based on his talent and that gorgeous face of his.
After all, in his consciousness, people who looked good would naturally be kindly treated by the entire world, and their luck was typically good.
Little Missy’s appearance proves this point too. I know that she took the initiative to come to me because she appreciated my talent. She wanted to assist me in accomplishing great success.
With that thought, Wang Baole’s head swelled. He took a deep breath, feeling as if his confidence was through the roof. With that strong sense of confidence, a glow flashed across his eyes as the cultivation within his body began to activate furiously. It was as if his Spirit Qi was also being boosted with his confidence.
Therefore, leveraging on this confidence, Wang Baole began meditating and cultivating. As his Lightning Dao was activated, and as the Dark Art gradually cycled, Wang Baole could feel that his cultivation level was slowly rising.
That increment satisfied him, making him feel as if his talent was beyond describable. If that wasn’t the case, he wouldn’t have already reached late-stage Foundation Establishment realm while others in the same batch as him were still in the mid-stage Foundation Establishment realm at most…
I cannot be arrogant! A glow flashed across Wang Baole’s eyes as he hurriedly reminded himself. With that self-reminder, he couldn’t help but grow even more satisfied with himself.
Just like that, days passed. When Wang Baole finished a few cycles of his cultivation, he realized that the three appointed mayors had still not arrived. He didn’t need to monitor the construction of the city either. At the same time, the donkey seemed to have gone missing during this period, its whereabouts unknown.
Based on Wang Baole’s sense, he felt that the donkey seemed to be very healthy, and therefore, didn’t care much about it. Instead, he used the time to continually upgrade his Dharmic Artifacts.
He had many Dharmic Artifacts, which made the upgrading process extremely long. It was also in this process of refinement that Wang Baole grew more familiar and gained a deeper understanding of his Dharmic Artifacts.
In his free time, he also began to play out the Dark Corpse Face Art in his head. In this manner, days passed, and soon, half a month had gone by.
By this time, Chen Mu and the other two had still not arrived. That made Wang Baole frown, and he thought about calling Lin Tianhao to ask about it after he emerged from seclusion.
Listening to Wang Baole’s tone, which indicated his displeasure, Lin Tianhao laughed bitterly and hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth.
“City Lord, according to the information I have received from Martian City, Chen Mu and the other two people have long arrived on Mars. However, after their arrival, they remained in the Martian City, paying visits to the Governor, Deputy Governor, as well as the people in charge of the different departments… I heard that they are still not done with their visits even now…” Lin Tianhao looked at Wang Baole and spoke softly.
Hearing those words, Wang Baole slowly narrowed his eyes. He was extremely annoyed, thinking that the three fellas were trying to send an obvious and clear message for purposely not visiting him after visiting so many others.
However, they aren’t foolish people. Why are they making it so obvious… This was something that Wang Baole couldn’t understand. After Lin Tianhao left, he was still pondering this question.
However, without having to think for too long, Wang Baole immediately got the answer he was looking for on the second day as the voice transmission notice from the Martian Colony Governor arrived.
“City Lord Wang, Chen Mu, Wen Huai, and Fang Jing will report for duty at Divine Armament New City in the next few days. It has already been approved by the Federation that the three zones that they will be stationed at will be overseen by the Federation directly, and be approved as an autonomous zone!”
“Huh?” After receiving the voice transmission, a cold glow flashed across Wang Baole’s eyes. He looked increasingly solemn and serious as he lowered his head to look at the voice transmission ring.
“Governor, the Federation has gone overboard with the handling of this matter, don’t you think? This is my city, and they are still going autonomous in my territory?”
“Even though it’s autonomous, it is, after all, still under your charge.” The Governor was unhappy about this matter, but it was a decision made by the Federation, and she didn’t want to participate in the battle between the factions.
Wang Baole’s breathing quickened slightly. He knew very well that he would just be a figurehead. He wanted to fight for his rights, but the Martian Colony Governor sighed once again, emphasizing that these were the orders of the Federation.
However, she eventually told Wang Baole that she would definitely not let matters rest if the three of them acted out of order!
Once they break the rules, everything will be too late. After all, they aren’t Li Yi… Wang Baole thought about this but didn’t verbalize it. After calming down and accepting the news, a look of ruthlessness appeared on his face as the Martian Colony Governor hung up the voice transmission.
Those three rascals. You’re so capable, huh? I’ve silently agreed for you to have a piece of the pie, and you’re still not satisfied? Now you want autonomy too?
Sure, just you wait! A cold look flashed across Wang Baole’s eyes.
