Chapter 7028 The number of votes is enough to solve it by force
Okuda showed an indifferent smile, but there was a trace of undetectable bitterness in his eyes: "Today is actually the election day for the island owner of Nakajima! I am the previous acting island owner, and I am qualified to participate in the election for the island owner of Nakajima. If
If I don't go, it will directly help Wu Miao, so no matter what, I will go there to prevent this situation from happening."
"So today is the day for the island owner's election. Are you sure that Brother Okuda will face Wu Miao this time?"
Lin Yi was slightly startled, but he was a little surprised: "What are the rules for the island owner's election?"
"There's no guarantee, it's just a matter of doing your best and following fate!"
Okuda shook his head with a wry smile, and then continued: "The rules are actually very simple. A qualified person can become the official island owner as long as he gets enough votes. But currently, Wu Miao and I have exactly the same number of votes!"
"Tie votes? Why does this happen?"
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment. In normal elections, there would not be an even number of voters, just to have a chance to win. I didn't expect that such a big thing as the owner of the island would actually be a tie.
"Originally, this situation would not have arisen. It is just because the deputy island owner of Tianxingdao is not here, so I lack the decisive vote. Otherwise, I would already be the island owner at this time!"
Okuda Shu didn't shy away from it and expressed regret in his words.
Everyone knows about the relationship between Tian Xingdao and Lin Yi. Unfortunately, no one knows where Tian Xingdao has gone.
"Ha... it's really a pity! How to determine the winner when the votes are even?"
Lin Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. There was nothing he could do about it. He still wanted to find Tian Xingdao, but now it was more important to find a way to get Okuda to the top: "If there is anything I can help with, Brother Okuda, just ask."
"I'm afraid you can't help much with this matter..."
Okuda shook his head and continued: "When the votes are equal, the only way to determine the outcome is through a battle. I have tried my best to increase my strength, but Wu Miao is a bit weird, and I am not sure whether I can win."
"Do you two have to fight in person? Can't your own forces get involved?"
Lin Yi had already expected Wu Miao's weirdness, and hooking up with the center, it was impossible not to think it was weird!
If the candidates can only do it themselves, Okuda State will probably lose!
But even if this is not the case, the Okuda family may not send real hidden masters to participate, right?
"In principle, it's us competing, but it doesn't say we can't have others help!"
Okuda Shu waved his hand with a disapproving look on his face: "It's just that there are restrictions on the competition for the owner of the island. There must be no masters above the sea rift stage, so it doesn't make any difference whether there is someone to help!"
Lin Yi immediately understood that, except for Dongzhou, there were no masters of the Sea Splitting Stage on the other big islands. It was not that they really didn’t exist, but that they were hidden from the world!
The owner of Nakajima Island is just an agent put on the front desk, and the limit on his strength is based on this.
Unable to reach the sea-breaking stage, Okuda Prefecture’s strength level is now just stuck at this limit - the great perfection of land creation!
If we go further, Okuda State will lose the qualification to compete for the island owner. On this basis, it is really impossible for ordinary people to help, because most people who are stronger than Okuda State are already sea-splitting masters!
Wu Miao on the other side may have similar superficial strength to Okuda Prefecture, but with the center backing him up, I'm afraid Wu Miao's true combat effectiveness should be above the sea-splitting stage!
"I see... I understand, Brother Okuda, when will the competition for the island owner begin?"
Lin Yi held his chin and nodded slightly, then asked: "There's nothing going on, little brother, go cheer for Brother Okuda!"
Is the true combat effectiveness above the Sea Splitting Stage? Lin Yi doesn't care about this. In order to ensure that Okuda Prefecture ascends to the top, he must be prepared to take action.
If Okuda Prefecture can successfully win the competition, it will be the best, but if it doesn't work, Lin Yi definitely can't sit idly by and watch!
"It's good, if Brother Lin can come to support me, I will have more confidence and morale!"
Okuda Shu smiled casually and didn't care too much.
After all, he knew very well what Lin Yi's strength was when he left Zhongdao. Even if there is progress now, it is probably very limited, and he can't help much other than waving flags and shouting.
Lin Yi smiled and nodded, without explaining much. He had restrained his aura now. Of course, Okuda Prefecture could not see its true level, and its combat power was even more difficult to estimate.
"In terms of time, it's almost time. Why don't we set off there now?"
Okuda Shu looked at the clock and said: "The place for the competition is not too far away. It won't take us much time to get there."
"It seems that I came by chance. If I came later, I might have missed Brother Okuda!"
Lin Yi naturally would not object, and while talking, he and Okuda were getting ready to set off.
After a while, the two came to the competition venue.
This is a martial arts arena in a large house. Although the battle for the island master is important, it is a private competition, so there are not many people watching the battle, only a dozen or twenty people, most of whom are senior officials of Zhongdao.
, elders, etc.
Lin Yi looked at a few of them who looked familiar. They had probably met them before, but they didn't have any deep connections, so they all just nodded and said hello.
A ring was set up in the center of the martial arts arena. Wu Miao was the first to wait on the ring, looking high-spirited and extremely proud.
"Okuda Shu, you are finally here! I thought you were scared, so I just gave up today!"
Wu Miao raised her chin and pointed her nostrils at Okuda and Lin Yi under the ring, looking condescending and domineering: "Lin Yi is also back, just in time to see how miserable Okuda is in such a mess!"
"Haha... Just by looking at you and the Center, you already know what collusion is. Sorry, I said it wrong. You are not even qualified to collude with the Center. You are just a tool in the hands of the Center. I really don't understand what you can be proud of.
What about?"
Lin Yi chuckled disdainfully and mocked mercilessly: "You are so happy to be a puppet, and you still help count the money after being sold. Are you the kind of person you are talking about?"
Wu Miao's face darkened. Although his collusion with the Central Chamber of Commerce could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, no one dared to bring it to the table so openly.
Being squeezed by Lin Yi, Wu Miao suddenly felt a little embarrassed and shouted angrily: "Ignorant kid, what are you talking about with red lips and white teeth?"
"Are you talking nonsense? You know in your heart that this is my problem. I like to tell the truth!"
Lin Yi's mouth was full of sarcasm as he continued: "As for a coward like you who has the guts to act but doesn't have the guts to admit it, I don't want to talk nonsense to you!"
