"Luo Tang, you don't have to worry. No matter how many places there are, our City Guards will be assigned one, and it will be assigned by me personally. I can make the decision and give you the City Guards' places this year directly!"
"Hey, how about it, President Zhang, you are not the one who makes the decision in your Spirit Master Association, right?"
"You have to listen to President Xu's opinion, right? Even if President Xu agrees, you also have to listen to the suggestions of the various families under you, right?"
"I just heard from Mr. Xu that there seem to be six people this year. You will inevitably have to hold a meeting to discuss how to distribute them!"
Xia Liang smiled happily, even a little gloating about his misfortune.
Although the Spirit Master Association has more resources than their city guards.
But the system architecture is also more complex than that of their city guard army.
Those families that provide resources for the Spirit Master Association have a certain say.
This results in the process of the Spiritual Masters Association being far more complicated than that of the City Guards.
Just like the hunting ground quota, it falls from the large area to Linhai, and then to the city guard.
Xia Liang summoned Wang Anzhi and the deputy commanders of the four divisions for a small meeting, and he could make a decision.
But the Spiritual Masters Association cannot. They need to balance the opinions and rights of all Linhai families.
Seeing Xia Liang's smiling face, Xu Wenxing silently observed three seconds of silence for his classmate Xiao Xia.
Your father seems to have promised you a quota...
Laughing and laughing, after a while Zhang Chenghua didn't refute.
Xia Liang noticed something was wrong. He turned around and found that Zhang Chenghua had walked to the window at some point. From his perspective, he could only see half of Zhang Chenghua's solemn face.
"No, President Zhang, if you don't say anything, I will take it as your consent."
Zhang Chenghua did not respond.
After a while.
"Lao Xia, do you still remember what this place used to be?"
Hearing Zhang Chenghua's change of title, Xia Liang's expression froze and he looked along what Zhang Chenghua pointed at.
"Remember, Yuanlong Amusement Park, we often went there at that time."
"What about over there?"
"Tour the rivers, and you can go fishing there in the summer."
"..."
Every time Zhang Chenghua pointed at a place, Xia Liang could accurately describe its original appearance.
Two minutes later.
"No, Lao Zhang, what we are talking about now is who will give Luotang the hunting ground quota. Why are you talking about this?"
Xia Liang asked impatiently and doubtfully.
Zhang Chenghua was silent for a moment.
"Then do you still remember why those places disappeared?"
As soon as these words came out, it was not only Xia Liang.
Wang Anzhi and Xu Wenxing in the room were silent.
The entire reception room seemed a little quiet.
Seeing everyone's silence, Luo Tang was a little confused, and soon found the answer in his memory from ten years ago.
"Remember, of course I remember, my face was ruined at that time."
Xia Liang reached out and touched the scars that ran across his entire face.
Ten years ago.
Linhai City's strength is not to say super strong in Donghai District, but it is also ranked fifth.
Twenty places are allocated to the hunting ground each year.
Twenty places means that twenty people can achieve good results in the college entrance examination and enter a better university.
Linhai can also obtain enough resources from them to enhance the strength of the entire Linhai.
But that all changed ten years ago.
Ten years ago, there was a catastrophe in Linhai. Millions of demons came from nowhere and attacked Linhai City.
Linhai is in a hurry.
The entire Eastern Region's spiritual masters mobilized to support Linhai.
The war that lasted for two weeks cost the entire Linhai Spirit Master more than 90% of its losses.
Luo Tang's parents were buried in that battle, and the scar on Xia Liang's face was also left at that time.
The city is in ruins and devastated.
There is not a complete plot of land exceeding 100 square meters in the entire Linhai.
After evaluation by experts.
The cost of rebuilding Linhai is too high, and the resources required are astronomical.
Someone at the East Region meeting proposed that the remaining humans in Linhai be moved to other surrounding cities.
Some aristocratic families who got the news began to move their entire families in advance to cities where their business partners were.
Similarly, there are also people who are unwilling to leave this land where they have lived for generations.
Xia Liang and Zhang Chenghua are representatives of this group of people.
After a week-long meeting and discussion.
Finally, a solution acceptable to both sides was reached.
The federal government will fund half of Linhai's reconstruction, and the remaining half will be provided by Xia Liangzhangchenghua and others who decided to stay in Linhai.
In order to raise the money, many families who decided to stay in Linhai sold their assets in other cities.
Coupled with the financial support from some powerful people from Linhai and abroad, it took nearly three months to raise the money.
The reconstruction of Linhai is also on the right track.
If a city is gone, it can be rebuilt, but if the people are gone, it is really gone.
This battle not only nearly destroyed Linhai, but also destroyed Linhai's younger generation.
The number of high schools has dropped sharply from more than 20 in the past to four now.
Likewise, this also led to a rapid decline in Linhai's performance in the Eastern Region.
From the previous fifth place, it has dropped to the current thirty-fifth place, ranking second to last in the Eastern Region.
If your grades are poor, the resources available to you will also be reduced.
It has since fallen into a vicious cycle.
Linhai has now secured its second-to-last position in the Eastern Region.
Nothing has changed in ten years.
However, in recent years, as the available land in other cities has gradually decreased with the increase in population, Linhai, which lacks a population, has moved in a lot of foreign people.
Now Linhai is also building new schools one after another.
…
"What's the use of remembering it. The Linhai we had before can never be returned to."
Xia Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head in a self-deprecating manner.
The resources available each year are fixed.
Based on the current situation in Linhai, even if there are immigrants moving in, this outcome cannot be changed.
However, Zhang Chenghua on the side retorted sharply.
"No! We still have a chance!"
"Opportunity? What opportunity?"
Xia Liang asked doubtfully, but Zhang Chenghua did not answer, but walked straight out of the room.
Half a minute later, when Zhang Chenghua came back again, he already had an extra piece of information in his hand.
"Let's see."
Xia Liang took it in confusion and didn't know what he saw. His eyes narrowed slightly and he suddenly raised his head to look at Luo Tang.
"This is the data tested by Luo Tang today."
Zhang Chenghua handed over Luo Tang’s test data again.
Xia Liang was even more shocked. As he watched, his face turned red, his expression became excited, and he murmured to himself.
"No wonder..."
Wang Anzhi and Xu Wenxing looked puzzled. They didn't know what Zhang Chenghua showed Xia Liang to have such a big reaction.
But Luo Tang had already guessed it based on what Zhang Chenghua said just now.
He probably knew that his imperial spirit came from the restricted area of life.
Just as Luo Tang guessed.
After Xia Liang saw the fact that Luo Tang Yuling came from the forbidden zone of life and the test data.
