The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 272 Discussion on Lu Chen (asking for monthly votes)

Li Mingkong was still a little dizzy when he walked out of the courtyard.

It wasn't until I got on the bus that I came to my senses.

"General, what's going on?" A middle-aged man with a square appearance and a righteous air asked.

His name is Lu Zemin. He is the chief of the inspection team of the Martial Arts Department and also Li Mingkong's close confidant.

The same is true. Although Lu Zemin is not even a general, his ranking in the Martial Arts Department is only below the other two deputy general directors.

Next to Lu Zemin was Zheng Faming.

Li Mingkong didn't say anything, and Lu Zemin became anxious: "Old Li, say something!"

The two used to be comrades in the same trench. After Li Mingkong entered the Martial Arts Department, he dragged Lu Zemin in as well. He was the only one who dared to call him "Old Li".

Li Mingkong still didn't speak.

"Advisor Zheng..." Lu Zemin looked at Zheng Faming.

However, the latter smiled: "Has Souji ever been unhappy when he was scolded before? In front of us, even if it is a bad thing, he will pretend to be a good thing!"

"Puchi...Hahaha! Old Zheng still understands me!"

Li Mingkong couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

Lu Zemin's face darkened instantly: "So, you two just want to laugh at me?"

"No, I just haven't turned the corner yet."

Li Mingkong certainly couldn't admit this.

"Okay, stop beating around the bush, what did the central government say?" Lu Zemin asked.
Li Mingkong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. The official communication of the promotion department of the Martial Arts Department will be issued the day after tomorrow. By then, the authority level of the Martial Arts Department will be greatly strengthened. You just wait for the promotion."

“It doesn’t matter whether I get promoted or not, as long as I can continue doing my job.” Lu Zemin felt relieved.

He doesn't ask for much in his life, just a happy family and a prosperous country.

At their level, there are not many ways to move up. Lu Zemin does not have such big ambitions as Li Mingkong. He only wants to protect Daxia in these chaotic times.

It doesn’t matter whether the official position is high or not, as long as it is enough.

Zheng Faming asked, "What did the Central Committee say?"

Li Mingkong did not hide anything and told everything.

Zheng Faming listened and nodded slightly, thinking: "At the beginning, Master Wang from the Central Committee should have been testing you, wanting to see how long you could maintain this attitude. Later, you showed your determination under strong pressure, so Master Wang and others were able to let you perform without worry."

Li Mingkong frowned: "You mean to say that Mr. Wang just wants me to be tough?"

"Definitely."

Zheng Faming nodded. "The current situation is chaotic. Our country is relatively good. Look at other countries. The Lone Star Country has been established, and some strange monsters and demons have taken turns to appear. The person in power during this period cannot be a centrist, let alone a dove. He can only be a hawk, and the hawk among hawks. Obviously, your status and position meet the requirements."

"is that so……"

Li Mingkong did not gradually relax. He was different from Lu Zemin. Lu Zemin himself had no feelings about politics and did things purely out of passion.

But he is different. To get to his current position, he must have been attacked by at least forty times, if not fifty times.

If you open your political thinking and take a long-term view, you will naturally understand.

In the turbulent and chaotic situation, if you want to control the situation, hardliners must come to power.

The Great Xia Kingdom has 5,000 years of history to refer to in this regard, and has always been strict in its political system, so moving towards the hard-line faction, although the process requires some pain, is not a big problem.

It’s different in other countries.

Meialika, known as the world's most powerful country, has a nearly corrupt political system. The entire country has been divided into countless factions, and there are also financial tycoons secretly dividing the economic environment.

It is extremely difficult to change, which is why the Lone Star State in their country was able to revolt so quickly and could not be suppressed.

Are there any hardliners?
Of course there are, but being tough externally may not be the same internally.

Moreover, the Western Zhutian dungeon is different from Daxia. Although Daxia also has some ghost system items, it is generally dominated by martial arts, and most of them are physical images.

But it’s different in the West. Although there are knights, fighters and the like, there are more ghosts and monsters!

In addition, human hearts are unpredictable, and the situation has already become extremely chaotic.

Various cult organizations emerged, and split has become inevitable.

If Daxia is given time, it can slowly transform its political system and try to minimize the pain.

However, with the advent of the 2.0 era of the All-Heaven Copy, there will no longer be divisions between regional civilizations in the world, and what is about to come is the phenomenon of the products of civilization flowing around the world!
In other words, it is possible that some products of the Western civilization system appeared in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The arrival of the 2.0 era of Zhutian Dungeon is also accompanied by the opening of a high-level dungeon mission world.

The Zhutian dungeon did not introduce what the high-level dungeon mission world is, but it did introduce the division of the "rank" levels.

According to the intelligence revealed in the past few days, all the Chosen Ones around the world will have their own rank introduction in their personal system page query.

Not surprisingly, they are all first level!
There isn't even a single second-level one!
What is this concept?
This means that no matter whether acquired or innate, no matter whether a wizard or a knight, all are first-level beings.

This is the limit of the low-level copy world!

As for the high-level mission copy world, although the Chosen Ones did not know what it was, they had seen the high-level Reincarnations.

The sword immortal walks with his sword, the wizard brings down meteorites from the sky, the warrior cuts through mountains and cuts off rivers, the monk saves all living beings...

Damn, is that where people stay?

It's totally a myth!

Yes, the Blue Star now has the ultimate weapon, the mushroom egg, and even powerful countries have some strange high-tech or biological weapons as trump cards.

But when hundreds of millions of chosen ones pour into the high-level dungeon world, how many of them will be able to break through the ranks after returning...even if it is calculated as only one in ten thousand?

This number of people is a bit too much!

This is also why, all over the world, when a sect order appears, any powerful country or organization will immediately establish a sect and massively recruit the Chosen Ones.

The reason is simple, just to be able to get one step ahead in the high-level dungeon world!
At the real-world level, we must also greatly strengthen national recognition.

Anyone in power who is harmful to the state system and may cause national division must be severely dealt with!

“So, are times changing?”

Lu Zemin, who was standing by, was also in a trance as he listened to their conversation.

Although he doesn't like politics, it doesn't mean he doesn't understand politics. "Yeah, it's changed!"

A light flashed in Zheng Faming's eyes: "The era of not punishing scholars and officials is over!"

Lu Zemin looked at Zheng Faming in shock.

"You... dare to say anything?"

Zheng Faming smiled nonchalantly and said, "I'm just a consultant, I don't even have a formal position, why don't you dare to speak up?"

Lu Zemin was silent.

Yes, Zheng Faming is just a consultant. He was the consultant who pushed Li Mingkong to set up the Martial Arts Department after the first appearance of the Zhutian copy!
This is also why the country of Daxia is very stable, because the Martial Arts Department was established very quickly.

Even Meialika only set up her team after the second dungeon mission.

At that time, the Martial Arts Department had already formed an extremely professional team for clearing the level, as well as many conceived strategies for clearing the level.

One step ahead, every step ahead. It is a fact that the Great Xia Kingdom has a large number of Chosen Ones, but it is also a fact that with the same number of people, the number of Chosen Ones in the Great Xia Kingdom far exceeds that of other countries!
The martial arts system of the Great Xia Kingdom does not take shortcuts and progresses much slower than many unorthodox methods in Western society such as sealed objects, vampires, and werewolves. However, the strength of the Chosen Ones of the Great Xia Kingdom is still the strongest, and there is a reason for this.

The most important fundamental reason is that the overall domestic trend is good, the guidance from the top is also good, and not so many bullshit things are happening.

Although I can’t say that all the credit for this issue belongs to Zheng Faming, he accounts for the vast majority of it.

This is why he is just an ordinary person, but becomes the chief consultant of the Martial Arts Department.

There are some things that they cannot say within the system, but Zheng Faming said it, and it really doesn't matter.
"The most important thing at the moment is still about Lu Chen."

Li Mingkong did not forget the core figure of this incident and diverted the sensitive topic: "He can fly in the clouds and even smash military satellites thousands of miles above the sky with one sword. Have you studied his strength?"

Zheng Faming shook his head: "No, I have had contact with Wang Weiguo and the Chosen Organizations in other provinces, but no one has ever met someone like Lu Chen."

This shows that among those reincarnations who caused heavy losses to the Chosen Ones, there is no one like Lu Chen who can cut satellites with his sword energy!

Lu Zemin also muttered: "He didn't come from a high-level dungeon world, did he? An immortal god? This strength is too damn impressive."

The overall strength of the inspection team is second only to Wang Weiguo's special operations team that specializes in the chosen one route.

Lu Zemin also studied the video, but found that the inspection team was completely beaten!
Although I don’t know how strong Lu Chen is.

But a casual attack from them has the power of an intercontinental missile, and the speed is far beyond imagination. How can we play this game?
"Maybe. Besides, Mr. Wang and the others are probably afraid of him."

Li Mingkong's eyes flickered.

His biggest card now is the communication with Lu Chen!

This is a clear card!

The Central Government also knew about this matter, and had already discussed the specific matters with the beings who were like living gods and immortals.

As a result, a scandal that led to the leak of information was created.

The higher the position one holds, the less one can tolerate such things happening!
The Central Authority obviously knew about this. The outbreak period of the high-level dungeon world was still to come, but the real immortal and god-level existence was right in front of them!
There is no doubt about how to make the decision.

Li Mingkong had a thousand thoughts in his mind. When he came to his senses, he found that Zheng Faming and Lu Zemin were looking at him deliberately.

Zheng Faming: "He wants to usurp power, right?"

Lu Zemin nodded seriously: "We have been friends for more than 20 years. I know what he is thinking as soon as he turns his eyes. He is definitely planning to use Lu Chen as a stepping stone."

"Fuck off!"

Li Mingkong laughed and cursed, annoyed that his thoughts were not guessed. At this moment, Li Mingkong had no intention of hiding his ambitions.

He also does not hide his ambitions.

How can a person without ambition be worthy of being followed by others?

He is not a fool.

At his level, only by pursuing higher goals can he realize more ambitions. When facing the higher-ups, he needs to be cautious, but when dealing with his confidants, he must reveal his ambitions.

Because this is also the goal they are pursuing as a group.

Then he shook his head: "Lu Chen is not something we can control, so forget about it. He is a god-level existence, which is recognized by all dungeons in the universe. He can ride on clouds and mist, and cut satellites with his sword... Damn, this question is a bit beyond the scope!"

As Li Mingkong spoke, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

He is never afraid of fighting or scheming against others.

But to be honest, this is the first time in my life that I have dealt with beings at the level of immortals and gods.

Saying that you are not worried is pure deception!

Zheng Faming said, "We can't miss the communication with Lu Chen. Regardless of how he has such strength, the secrets he knows are enough for the development of our domestic Chosen Ones. In a small sense, it can help our domestic Chosen Ones avoid detours and reduce casualties. In a big sense, if he is willing to contribute a little of his cultivation method, it will be enough for our Daxia to gain the upper hand in the international arena."

"Of course, if we can successfully pull him into the Martial Arts Department, we will have an extra walking strategic weapon."

"On this aspect, you still need to discuss it with me, Old Zheng."

Li Mingkong looked at Zheng Faming with a sincere face: "If you can really pull him into the Martial Arts Department, Old Zheng, I promise that the next Martial Arts Department Minister will definitely be yours!"

"Get lost, you are the director now!"

"Won't you be the minister the day after tomorrow?"

Li Mingkong was not embarrassed at all: "However, we can't just pull him into the Martial Arts Department. Although the sword energy cut the satellite, although the strength is enough, it also exposed another side of his character."

Zheng Faming asked, "Are you still worried about him?"

He looked sarcastic.

Li Mingkong shook his head, "It's not just me. After the video was exposed, I guess many people are worried about him. I am also responsible to the people and the country. We can cooperate with him, but the basis is that he must be the one who protects order, not destroy it. We are the managers of a big country, and there are many things to consider. The center does not come forward just to have a buffer, but try not to push the problem up. If it comes to our level, we can handle it well. Otherwise, if we go up, there will be no way out."

Zheng Faming seemed to be thinking about something, but he did not refute it. After a moment, he slowly nodded and said helplessly: "I will try my best. However, before communicating with him, the Martial Arts Department must also fulfill his request. Otherwise, if there is a second time..."

"Hahaha! Don't worry about this!"

Li Mingkong patted his chest and said, "Tell him that he can ask for anything he wants! Although we have some restrictions, the benefits are even better! As long as it is not against the law or against the organization's discipline, he can get the people and power he wants. Even if he chops up Xiaobenzi's island with a knife, I, Old Li, will still protect it for him!"

Zheng Faming curled his lips: "Okay, don't think about it, it's impossible, unless you want to start a world war directly. Besides, Lu Chen is not a fool. He is waiting for us to give an explanation, which means that he is maintaining order and does not want to break the order directly."

Li Mingkong felt a little regretful when he heard this: "Young man, you should be less aggressive!"

Zheng Faming rolled his eyes.

It's you who asked others to maintain order, and it's you who thinks they haven't disrupted order enough...

Okay, you're taking both sides, right?
