"Kami, you go down first." The white-haired old man looked at Zhou Ze for a few seconds before slowly speaking.

"Yes, Marshal." Hearing this, Kami silently walked out of the office and closed the door.

At this moment, only Zhou Ze and the white-haired old man known as the marshal were left in this office.

"You... Is it Zhou Ze? ”

"Hmm."

Listening to this question, Zhou Ze responded.

"Sit."

Zhou Ze was not polite and sat directly on the sofa on one side.

"Old man... His name is Mei Longcang, the current marshal of the defense army. The white-haired old man introduced himself, then got up from his desk and sat opposite Zhou Ze.

"So... What are you looking for me? Zhou Ze said with a flat expression.

"Old man, I heard... You're going to take over my class, so I thought I'd call you over to see if I had the strength. Mei Longcang said.

“？？？”

Hearing this, Zhou Ze raised his eyebrows, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "When did I say it?" ”

Seeing that he didn't admit it, Mei Longcang had a smile on his face, and with a slight wave of his left hand, a translucent blue picture appeared in front of him, which clearly recorded the spread of this rumor.

"Fake news, rumors, I don't know." Zhou Ze directly denied the triple wave.

"Fake news? Rumor? Mei Longcang shook his head:

"Whether you said it or not, now that this news has spread throughout the communication channels of the entire defense army, then this news is true."

"When you say it, it's false, but if people believe it, then it's true."

“...”

Zhou Ze's face was expressionless, and his mind searched for the possibility of where this rumor came from.

Blue?

No, this guy can't wait to make a fortune.

Who could that be?

Zhou Ze thought for a while, and thought of a person, the little fat boy, this little white fat man who could misinterpret the meaning of his words.

That's all he can do.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ze silently stood up from the sofa, looked at the white-haired old man with a smile and said:

"You wait for me first, I'll go and deal with the rumor spreaders first."

At the moment, his face was expressionless, and his words were not mixed with any emotional color, and he didn't seem to be joking.

"Sit down first, we'll finish talking, and it's not too late for you to cut him down." Mei Longcang's left hand was gently lowered downward.

A force of rules drove Zhou Ze and sat straight on the sofa.

“？？？”

A flash of surprise flashed in Zhou Ze's eyes, and he looked at the white-haired old man sitting on the side, who was still smiling like that.

This man...

Very strong.

The wind engine in the body began to operate, and Zhou Ze analyzed the power of the rules, and the feeling of not being able to drive the body was much weaker.

can involve the power of rules and drive his body for five generations, and the old man in front of him must have at least six generations.

Defend the marshal of the army...

Sure enough, it's different from those small fish and shrimp.

Zhou Ze felt this feeling for the first time in the Void Plane.

Mei Longcang was also a little surprised at this moment.

This young man in front of me... He was able to parse the power to circumvent the rules and laws he had just manipulated.

This is not the ability that ordinary five generations of gods can have...

It's pretty good.

The smile on Mei Longcang's face became thicker.

"You can arrest the disemboweling demon Berg with an S-class bounty, which shows that you have good strength, are you interested in joining the defense army headquarters?"

“？？？”

Zhou Ze was puzzled for a moment: "I have already joined the resistance army. ”

"No, no, no, I'm talking about joining the headquarters, which you can understand as... Transferred from the Fifth District to the headquarters, it is also a defense army. Mei Longcang explained.

"Transferred from the post..."Zhou Ze thought for a while and said:

"Can the treatment be improved?"

"Treatment?" When Mei Longcang heard this word, he seemed to have heard it again in other places.

"Yes, like... In terms of salary, or is there any overtime pay, is there any public holiday? Is there any annual leave? How is the bonus calculated? ”

Listening to Zhou Ze's words, the smile on Mei Longcang's face instantly froze.

He'd heard something like that... Liuqiusi, the three major generals of the headquarters back then, also said the same thing.

"Nope!"

After listening to Zhou Ze's words, Mei Longcang was a little unhappy:

"You come to the headquarters, I can arrange for you to enter the lieutenant general training camp as a member, and after graduating from there, I can appropriately raise your salary."

"Sibling Blend..."

Zhou Ze listened to Mei Longcang's words just now and thought for a while:

"I'm sorry... With all due respect, if the treatment remains the same, I would prefer to shine in my original position. ”

“？？？”

This time, Mei Longcang was stunned.

What's going on?

Is this kid more stubborn than he was back then?

In the same way, when Liutius said about the treatment, he also promised to let him enter the lieutenant general training camp, and he would be a lieutenant general when he came out, and Liutius directly agreed when he heard this.

This young man in front of him... I actually refused!

"Please give a reason for your refusal!" Mei Longcang said slowly.

"Under the same position... I think the eighth stronghold will be more free and comfortable than the headquarters, and... The eighth stronghold is closer to the dense fog area, and I can kill some void creatures if I have nothing to do, and under the comprehensive income, it will be much higher than in the headquarters. Zhou Ze explained.

Truly.

In the eighth stronghold, with his ability, Blu has to provide for him, and he can squander his time and everything, and he can not participate in training, but in the headquarters, there are a lot of boring superiors, and it may cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The eighth stronghold can also slash the void creatures to exchange for empty stones to earn some extra money, but in the headquarters, it is too far away from the dense fog area to earn extra money.

All things considered, isn't the eighth stronghold more incense than in the headquarters?

Mei Longcang, listening to Zhou Ze's words, thinking about it carefully, seemed to be able to understand the reason for Zhou Ze's refusal, but he still didn't want to compromise like that, so that the new combat power representatives that might appear in the headquarters would follow Liuqiusi a virtue.

"You know... Coming out of the training camp from the middle general, your status and identity are not comparable to those of the members! ”

Hearing this, Zhou Ze smiled.

Status...

In the City of Angels 30,000 years ago, Hua Ye also told him about his status, but he refused at that time.

He still prefers practical things for these imaginary things.

This was true 30,000 years ago, and it will be the same 30,000 years later, and it has not changed.

"Identity... status, more than these, prefer practical things, resources ... Money, which of these is not more attractive than status? ”

Zhou Ze asked Mei Longcang rhetorically:

"In the same situation, a position with some power, and a bunch of actual resources, which would you choose?"

Seeing that Mei Longcang didn't speak, he continued:

"Maybe you will choose status, you will say that if you have status, resources will naturally be given to you, of course, there is no problem in saying so, but... They only value your position, and if you change someone, they will also use the same resources to please others. ”

"Unrealistic, empty."

"Only if you promote yourself to enough strength, if you don't have status, there will be people who are afraid of you and please you, and they are afraid of your strength, not status."

"When you have a high position, you still face the possibility of being overthrown, and when you have the strength to crush everything, that possibility is zero."

Zhou Ze said these words with a flat expression.

Compared to 30,000 years ago, when he said this, it was his own experience.

After overthrowing Hua Ye, how many civilizations wanted to cling to him and to Zefa Xing, but he did not agree to the attachment of any civilization...
