Chapter 18: Strategy
In the past, the people who came to participate in the qualifying tournament were only small names, let alone those who read out the rules, but this time, the importance is the same as participating in the super power ranking.
"Because the selected forces were voted by the Yinzhou personnel themselves, we will not examine the strength background, and the content of this competition is mainly strategy, that is, the strategy given in the face of political and people's livelihood issues."
When the words fell, everyone talked about it.
"Is it serious that strength is not examined, and a person who doesn't even have the ability to protect himself can be qualified as a state lord?"
"yes, who decided the content of this competition? It's too hasty."
Although strength is not the decisive factor in becoming a state lord, it is not a small proportion, and they do not want to have a state lord who must be protected at any time.
"Eh, didn't I hear that the people of Yinzhou were very supportive of Ling Niantian before I came, how could I hear that you mean that you don't want her to become the state lord?"
There are also people from other states who come here, and when they heard the words next to them, they couldn't help but ask.
After all, among them, only Ling Niantian was of the sixth order, and the other two were in the late stage of the Transformation Peak Realm and the early stage of the Tribulation Realm.
"You know what." The man said, "We have our own considerations."
As people who have participated in the brawl in the state lord's mansion, they know very well Ling Niantian's strength, and now that it is not comparable to strength, isn't there a special ability that Ling Niantian is talking about and praised.
The man nodded, feeling that he knew a terrible secret.
The relationship between Ling Niantian and Yinzhou is not as good as it seems on the surface.
"I don't agree." Naturally, the refusal was not only from the audience, but also Shen Zhize, who was also a candidate, objected, "I ask to join the strength test, the state lord has many secrets of Yinzhou, and easily being injured or killed will have a devastating blow to Yinzhou."
For example, the death of the lord of Yinzhou before made Yinzhou fall into chaos, although he didn't want to admit it, but the fact was that if Ling Niantian didn't take over, within half a month, Yinzhou would have no order at all, and it would even be divided by the surrounding states.
"If you want to add it, you can do it too." Chu Zhuochen just felt that there was no need to waste time on certain things, because he also felt that Ling Niantian would definitely win.
But it doesn't matter if it is added, it will only make it safer for Ling Niantian to take this position.
Even if her strategy score is slightly lower, she can be pulled up by the strength score.
However, judging from his understanding of Ling Niantian, this possibility basically does not exist, as long as she wants to, everything can be perfect.
Shen Zhize was surprised, he didn't expect it to be so easy for Chu Zhuochen to agree, and said happily: "Thank you Young Master Chu, I'm fine!"
"What about you?" Chu Zhuochen's gaze turned to the other candidate, "Are there any objections?"
"No, no." Meng Xun hurriedly shook his head.
"That's good." Chu Zhuochen took out three sets of scrolls half a palm-thick, and the people outside the sky had already moved the table up, placed it in a circle, sitting inside and facing out, even if the back of the head was long, he couldn't see other people's scrolls.
Chu Zhuochen put a pile on a table, "Three hours, the results will be released in an hour after the end, the top two will enter the competition, we will not waste time, we can elect the state lord before the hour."
Others rest at sunset, and when the sky gets dark, they don't try, but he doesn't have this taboo.
"It's a blocker." The person outside the sky brought three palm-sized objects, "It can block the wearer's external interference, and of course, the divine consciousness will also be sealed together, please check it with a few young masters."
This was done by Fu Jinyun when he was researching sirens, although the principles are different, but there are similarities.
Chu Zhuochen didn't find anything special after reading it, handed it to Jing You next to him, and asked casually, "Who did this?" It doesn't sound like much to use.
"One of our mages with the surname Fu is only required by God."
Chu Zhuochen: "......" Well, it is specially used for this kind of exam, which is very targeted.
Over there, Jingyou had already handed it to Qiannan, and said very sincerely, "It's very delicate, I'll bring it back to the two of you when it's over."
If it weren't for Chu Zhuochen handing it over
When he saw the disgust in Jingyou's eyes, he believed it.
Qian Nan looked at it for a long time, and the disciples outside the world couldn't help but come over and ask, "Is there a problem?"
"No, I just want this mage, otherwise I can sell it to Chihirokaku at a price." It would be a shame that such a good mage didn't come to them to make a big splash.
The three shields were checked and sent up, the five-layer enchantment opened four layers, and with a few incense sticks lit, the campaign officially began.
The corners of the disciple's mouth twitched, "He gave us the refining weapon for free, it doesn't belong to the outside of the sky, it should be a cooperative relationship."
Qiannan: "......" Don't have any money to work for Ling Niantian?! So can he dig it up for a lot of money?
"The talisman master has a good relationship with our God, and it is unlikely that the Thousand Young Lord will dig people, but if it is discussed, I may be able to lend it to Chihiro Pavilion for a few days." The disciples outside the heavens were very sincere.
Qiannan: "......" isn't just reminding him not to think about anything else, hmph, Ling Niantian's subordinates are also like her, with eight hundred more hearts.
After a while, seeing that the eyes of the people around him were taken away from the super power, either looking at the test table or chatting with each other, Qiannan also got to the point, "What do you say about the top of Dongyu?"
The purpose of so many of them coming to Yinzhou is naturally not simple.
Jingyou glanced at him, "Tempting me so obviously?"
"You didn't tell her?" Chinan asked.
"Can you come early?" Jingyou's expression was a little fierce, very different from the previous appearance, "I won't go around the bend with you anymore, my attitude has not changed."
Qiannan understood, "What about Chu Zhuochen?"
There are more frictions among their super forces than ordinary forces, with a small fight every three days, a hit every five days, and occasional outbreaks in big fights, and if the contradictions are sharp, the attitude of each force will be different.
"I didn't ask him." Jingyou lowered his eyes, "But how can he do it without affecting the position of the top of Dongyu, what about you, as a partner outside the sky, where are you standing?"
At first, they all thought that it was a war between juniors, and they would let them solve it by themselves, and the elders would not interfere, but this was on the premise that it would not affect their own interests, if Ling Niantian really became the lord of Yinzhou, her enemy would enter the field of vision of the high-level authorities.
If you lead it well, it is the enemy of a state, and they naturally have to take precautions.
"Merchants are profitable." Qiannan's voice was low, "You know."
He is first of all the young master of Qianxun Pavilion, and secondly, Qiannan, if Ling Niantian and the Xiahou clan's Lanling family and other forces really reach the state of dying, his cooperation with Ling Niantian must be interrupted.
"Huh." Jing You chuckled, "You don't have to show me this kind of expression, in the future, in front of Ling Niantian, you can still say such things."
He knew early on that so-called friends could not necessarily help in the snow, but they could add fuel to the fire, and he was prepared for the worst.
Repeating the mistakes of the past outside the sky, he was removed from the top of Dongyu.
But it doesn't matter, even if he dies, he can untie the knot and get rid of the shackles, without loss.
Qiannan's face turned pale, and she could still squeeze out a smile, "I can't imagine that picture."
Jingyou sneered, "Don't preset, otherwise it won't be good if the scene is worse than the preset at that time."
Chinan: "......"
"But I'm curious, why did you sit next to me?" The Qinggu Yang Realm has no intersection with Ling Niantian and may not be involved, but the Xiahou Clan, as one of the leaders, is also over there, wouldn't it be better for Qiannan to sit next to the Xiahou Clan to maximize his benefits?
"I may not be suitable to be the young master of Chihirokaku."
Wavering is a big taboo, and he can maximize his interests and show sincerity when he goes to the Xiahou clan now.
He smiled wryly, "They all say that you can earn more without conscience, maybe I still have a little bit of a loss."
Three hours is not a long time, and the undercurrent of the audience has almost been put on the surface, and the people in the audience who are nervous feel uneasy.
In the middle of the day, the sun is scorching
However, the enchantment of the viewing seat is constantly absorbing the aura, so that the temperature of the matter is always maintained inside, and everyone can still maintain their energetic appearance.
"What are these super forces doing, how do I feel like they're about to fight?"
"It's unusual for so many lords to come at once, Ling Niantian's enemies are all here except for the herdsmen, right?"
"The herdsmen are mainly Mu Xiqian who have always been at odds with Ling Niantian, but some time ago, Mu Xiqian entered the state lord's mansion, and there has been no news since then.
"Isn't that even more enmity with the herdsmen?"
"Theoretically, this is the case, but the relationship between the two seems to have eased, Mu Weiran sent several letters to Ling Nianlian two days ago, maybe this Mu Xiqian is not very favored in the herdsmen."
"Just now, another group of people entered Yinzhou, and the young masters of several super forces are still attractive."
"Smack." The last piece of incense ash fell, and it dissipated with the wind before it fell into the incense burner, and at the same time, Ling Nian put down his pen.
Just finished writing.
"It's time." Chu Zhuochen stood up, "Please stop writing for the remaining two candidates, otherwise you will be disqualified from running for election."
As a state owner, you may not have time to consider the causes and consequences of each thing, and even some things that need to be dealt with have no clue but must be given an instruction.
There are many such questions in this paper, there is no optimal solution, or even no answer, such questions are not actually counted in the total score, but are just distractors.
But if you don't write it, you will deduct points.
Shen Zhize and Meng Xun both slipped down in a cold sweat and had to put down their pens.
Shen Zhize's cold sweat came down, "Young Master Chu, can I ask how the question was decided this time?"
They are the people in charge of their respective forces, and they can easily understand most of the strategies, and even give several ways to deal with them, but there are always key information missing in the questions in the paper, and there is no way to make a conclusion.
Then there is the amount of questions, which is as large as the number of files they process in a month, and he can't finish it in just a few hours, and now he is dizzy.
Chu Zhuochen put away the papers of the three of them, "All the state leaders use this set of questions for the election, is there a problem?"
Shen Zhize hurriedly shook his head, "No"
"The results will be released in half an hour, and then the second round of the competition, be ready." He glanced at Ling Niantian before stepping off the stage, but Ling Niantian lowered his head and didn't see it.
He sighed inwardly and walked down.
Although the volume is thick, it is detachable, and it is divided into more than a dozen pages per person, which does not look slow.
"The principle of recusal, no one who knows Ling Niantian can participate in the judging papers." Xiahou Nanyao reminded lightly and passed the scroll that had been passed to the next one.
Otherwise, if there is subjective emotion, it is likely to give Ling Niantian a high judgment or other people a low score.
"Nature." Jingyou glanced at it and passed it on to the next one as well.
Then everyone found that all the scrolls were in the hands of the Qinggu Yang Realm and Liuren.
Ji Xisheng put the scroll in Nie Bingxuan's hand, "I don't have a good relationship with Qiannan, I'm afraid that I might misjudge, so I won't participate."
Nie Bingxuan: "......"
"Go to the next state and call some people, you want to have nothing to do with Ling Nian." In addition to Tianfu, there are also twenty super large sects, so she doesn't believe that she can't find out a few judgment papers.
In order to facilitate the discussion, there are teleportation arrays around the state mansion that connect to other states, so it does not take time to go back and forth.
"The people from Lanyu Marsh and Yuechengque have come over, and they can all participate in the judging of the papers, so they all came to Yinzhou."
Nie Bing turned his head and handed over a stack of rolls without raising his head, "Divide it."
Time is urgent, just have someone coming.
The spectators were silent, making eye contact with each other in shock and speechless.
The people who judged the scroll had a separate area, and the rest of the people gathered together, and finally had the opportunity to see the super power, Meng Xun swallowed his saliva and decided to enter from the scroll just now
hand, "How did you write that question?" I didn't finish any of it."
Shen Zhize was struggling to know the answers of others, and immediately continued: "Me too, how bad are you?"
Originally, he couldn't vote for the top three at all, but several strong opponents withdrew, and the remaining two places fell on the Shen family and the Meng family.
"A lot." Meng Xun shook his head, he was self-aware, the state lord was definitely hopeless, but at the moment, there were so many super forces, as long as he had a good relationship with one, wouldn't it be soaring, "I saw that Young Master Xiahou has been observing the surroundings just now, is there something wrong?"
The Xiahou clan does not deal with the outside of the sky, and he can be regarded as Ling Niantian's opponent, so it may be easier to catch up with the Xiahou clan.
