Xu Shi may not have thought that what he said when he bumped fists with Tang Shuang at the beginning would really become a reality.

Because three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Haruka thought of the high spirits when he first returned to the City of Night Sin from the Hualan Empire, as if it was yesterday...... He was still a little emotional for a while.

After all, he is now twenty-nine years old, and he is only a few months away from turning thirty.

Rounding it up, it is not long before the year of establishment is not confused, and it is about to know the destiny of heaven, and then there is the sixty years old of Ershun, seventy and rare......

Ah, time is gone, and the past can only be recalled~

Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly, for humans, the only thing that cannot be controlled may be the passage of time (8).

Anyway, he is almost the same as the old cadre, and the thermos cup is soaked with wolfberries.

Just as I was about to pick it up and take a sip, the door of the office was pushed open in a hurry.

"Master!"

Pan Ling walked in with a frown, looking like she hated iron but not steel, "I said that there is a very important meeting today, have you forgotten?" ”

Three years have passed, and the stupid apprentice has grown a lot, and he no longer has the ignorant appearance he had when he first came to Night Sin City.

Instead, there is a capable OL suit - a beige suit with high heels, and her hair is combed into a smart high ponytail, which is already a very qualified strong woman in the workplace.

It can be seen that she is very adaptable to today's life, and she has worked hard over the years.

At least Xu Shi didn't expect it at the time, she completed a complicated higher education in just over two years, and even graduated from the university with the first grade in her class, and then directly joined the "snake ring" and became a member of the company.

The position he holds is Xu Shi's special assistant, which can be regarded as a part of Su Lin's secretary work as a director.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xu Shi is obviously deliberately delegating power to her - who made him, the chairman, the shopkeeper, a hand-off shopkeeper, many important resolutions, and even dared to make her own decisions, and she completely retreated into the background, and almost did not come forward without major events.

Xu Shi operated like this, to be honest, there were indeed many people who complained at the beginning, can a fledgling little girl really carry this banner? In their eyes, this is obviously suspicious.

It wasn't until Pan Ling was slapped in the face with her strength that these voices slowly subsided...... They had to learn to accept the fact that a young girl from another city-state, who was just twenty-two years old, was actually hanging their old stuff professionally.

If Xu Shi is better at looking at the overall situation and giving creative or correct decisions, then Pan Ling is more detail-oriented, in other words, one is to build a skeleton and the other to fill flesh and blood, and the master and apprentice cooperate quite properly and complement each other.

It can only be said that there must be a disciple with a teacher, or that the blue is better than the blue, who made Xu Shi himself a monster? Since the official takeover of the company, it has taken less than five years to make today's achievements.

Many people have even forgotten that this lord was only twenty-five years old, and he was able to sweep away a large number of high-ranking and powerful patriarchs in the company, and even easily destroyed two rival consortia, becoming the uncrowned king of Night Sin City in one fell swoop.

Or rather, it's more than that.

"Master, master, you were the one who said that the Federation was established at the beginning, and now you are the one who is the shopkeeper."

Pan Ling is a lot bolder now, at least she complained about Xu Shi's words, "Usually forget about it, but today the rulers of two city-states are coming to visit, okay?" Anyway, you should show up, shouldn't you? ”

"Xiao Pan, when you work, you call your position."

Xu Shi took a sip of water unhurriedly, "If you don't show up, you won't show up, I'm also very busy, two B-level city-states, it's enough for you to come forward, otherwise what is the cultivation of Ling doing?" ”

Facts have proved that the original idea was not wrong at all, this world is indeed not only Night Sin City and Hualan Empire, in the second month of the establishment of the overseas department, Yu Xingchuan has already found the third experimental area.

With the previous experience, it was indeed a lot easier to deal with it, and in less than a month, they had established contact with the king of that area.

What's even more interesting is that the other party is actually a "protagonist" character who has already achieved fame.

One thing to say, Xu Shi may not have dealt with a certain "protagonist" like this before.

However, this process is not complicated, and at the moment when he tries to reveal the facts about "Heavenly Principles" with the other party, the other party shows shock and abnormal sobriety.

As he expected, once he knew that he was actually a marionette, even the clay man would be angry.

Therefore, with their cooperation, the other party also calmly found out the ghosts in the "Tianli" mixed in his protagonist group, which can be regarded as a complete awakening.

Then there was the formal establishment of cooperation—yes, this is clearly the good state that a federation, an alliance, should be maintained, rather than a protracted conquest that would cost a lot of manpower and material resources.

Get to know each other and communicate with each other...... Of course, the establishment of a superior-subordinate relationship based on the comprehensive strength of the opposing city-state is also one of them.

This is also the origin of what he just called the "B-rated city-state" - as more and more areas are exposed, a robust and constantly improving rating system is essential.

Based on the City of Night Sins, those with the same or similar strength will be classified as Class A.

The weaker ones are B-level, and the C-level ones that can be completely suppressed.

In addition, there are some city-states that will be divided into S-level, but this S is not A-level or higher, it means that the city-state has certain particularities, such as the Xianxia World discovered half a year ago - Boss Xu may never have dreamed that he would one day really be able to use the perspective of a cyber to observe real immortal cultivators, Edgeworth, alchemy or something.

But if you think about it carefully, no matter how fancy these city-states are, the source of their strength is always the same, it is all derived from the "Rusty Mist", as long as he knows this, it seems that no kind of existence will shock him too much.

The only regret is that they didn't get to see them fly—even immortal cultivators couldn't break the shackles of the "Rusty Mist", a phenomenon called "Heavenly Path Breaking" in their words.

By the way, the Hualan Empire is also classified as an S-class, because until now, it is also the only "abandoned" city-state.

After that, no matter how many major city-states screened the protagonists, found out the ghosts in "Tianli" and interrogated them, they did not trigger the evaluation mechanism of "Tianli" when facing Xu Ying.

But on the other hand, he couldn't get any useful information from these people, so he had to reluctantly continue to develop the federation and constantly enhance his strength.

Therefore, he is not only the uncrowned king of Night Sin City now, but also one of the leaders of this "galaxy" federation - the federation adopts a parliamentary system, and whenever a new A-tier zone is discovered, a seat will be added to the round table, and everyone will make some major decisions together.

Of course, as a pioneer of the federal system, Xu Shi has a slightly heavier voice.

His ability is also one of the indispensable factors - in the past three years, he has preferred to use "unity" to boost positive emotions to everyone, and unless he encounters that kind of thorn, he will consider using "evil thought entropy increase" to increase the strength of the other party.

But a lot of times, he doesn't necessarily do that with a prick.

One of the great advantages of the federal system is that it binds everyone's interests together, and if someone tries to infringe on everyone's common interests, it will instantly become the target of public criticism.

Xu Shi still remembers that when the plan to go to sea was carried out for one year and eight months, the leader of an A-level city-state was not convinced, and tried in vain to kick out others and become an oligarch himself.

The consequence was that he was jointly encircled and suppressed by the six city-states - Boss Xu went out to other city-states, and in less than a month, he submitted to the rule of the other party, and finally became a tainted S-class city-state in humiliation, and his status plummeted, and he directly became a vassal of everyone.

With such a precedent, he is not very worried that someone will disobey and torture him in vain to challenge the authority of the Federation!

Therefore, in such a situation, now he is only the leader of two B-level city-states, and he really doesn't need to come forward in person to go over to ask for warmth, he will go if he is happy, and he is not happy that they can't even see his face.

"Oh, huh? Xu Dong? ”

Pan Ling was itched by her master's attitude, and said with a disgruntled face, "Then you tell me what you have to be busy with?" Busy going on a date with Master Xie? ”

God knows how helpless she is to Xu Shi's lying flat thing now that she has transformed into a struggle.

"Bullshit dating, isn't it because a new material was discovered some time ago, so it's trying to purify the sixth generation upgrade of "Rusty Mist"?"

Xu Shi retorted, "I have to get into it for the sake of this project, and now it is a small effect, why did it become a rotten thing in your mouth?" ”

"Moreover, who gave you the courage to secretly listen to the voice of the teacher there, huh?"

"Director Xu, when you work, you call your position."

Pan Ling chose to take his words as an answer, and couldn't help but complain a little, "The projects are all done by Jiang Shiniang and Xie Shiniang, what kind of life do you have for your old man......"

"Okay, Pan, Te, help?"

Xu Shi glanced at her, and said in her heart that the child is really hard now, and he dares to smack her master's mouth in public?

It's true that the wings are stiff - in the past few years, Pan Ling has naturally been a special assistant, following him to brush up on his presence in the alliance.

At the same time, her mind-reading ability has also begun to improve by leaps and bounds under such circumstances, and now she has broken the shackles of A-level and has been promoted to the level of S-, which is not much closer to the official S.

This is completely pure training, and the "Prism" potions are auxiliary to her.

How great her potential is, it can be seen from this kind of thing, even if it is the old man Wen, after witnessing all this, he has to sigh that Pan Ling, the child, has made progress faster than anyone can imagine.

In fact, Xu Shi himself has also made a lot of progress, after attacking Dongfang Xiao at the beginning, his S-level was completely stabilized, and then relying on the launch of a large area of "unity", now he has faintly touched the threshold of SS.

It's still a little worse, but it's not impossible to make the defenseless die for him with a single sentence.

"I'm here, Xu Dong, please command."

Pan Lingpi responded with a smile.

"You can take full control of this meeting, and just present me the record report afterwards."

Xu Shi crossed his hands, leaned on the table and said, "It can't be less than thirty pages, it's best to incorporate some of your personal experience." ”

"Take less?"

Pan Ling was stunned for a moment, "Can I understand it as a personal vendetta?" ”

"Yes, this is a personal vendetta in the communiqué."

Xu Shi nodded, thought about it and said it again, "Or is it that I, who is a master, don't even have the right to assign you homework?" ”

“…… Yes, yes. ”

Pan Xiaoling was finally defeated and responded weakly.

Isn't it time to call the position? You have a set of double standards.

But no matter what, she still has a lot of respect for her master, especially since she followed him all the way from the Hualan Empire to the City of Night Sin, and then to the current Federation...... It's not that the wings are really stiff and rebellious, it's just that sometimes I really can't get used to seeing the other party lying flat.

And if you think about it carefully, since the master wants to train himself as a successor, many things are indeed better done by himself, and at the same time, there is actually the help of Su Shiniang, this kind of small meeting, it doesn't matter if Xu Shi really goes or not.

"Okay, then I'll go first."

Xu Shi smiled, got up and prepared to go to the "Prism" to shop - now the project to clear the "rusty fog" is indeed a breakthrough, from the beginning of half an hour, to now can break through to more than a month, although the development is very slow, but it is better than steady.

"Pante, come on."

“…… Hum. ”

The stupid apprentice snorted and ignored him, flicked his little skirt and left.

But within seconds, there was another knock on the office door.

"Didn't you take anything...... Well? ”

Xu Shi didn't look up, and casually answered only to realize that something was wrong.

The person who came was not Pan Ling.

It's Gu Yi.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at the other party's not quite right expression, he couldn't help but blurt out.

"Nothing ......"

Miss Black Rabbit shook her head, "I just found some minor problems, about the establishment of communication networks within the city-states......"

"It seems...... Someone is thwarting us. ”
