Silence, endless silence.
The room fell silent; no one spoke.
If Fang Xiu had said this before the battle, everyone would have scoffed at it. But after the battle, his words, to some extent, represent the future.
Faced with the silence of the crowd, Fang Xiu calmly said, "Who agrees to me becoming the captain? Who opposes it?"
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
A moment later, a detached voice rang out.
"I agree."
Everyone was immediately startled, because the speaker was none other than Fang Moli.
This newly promoted fifth-tier powerhouse is almost the pre-selected captain.
To everyone's surprise, he was the first to agree.
Even Fang Xiu was surprised that Fang Moli was the first to agree. He had thought that Fang Moli was the biggest obstacle to becoming the captain.
After all, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that the best candidate for captain is naturally the only fifth-tier powerhouse.
Actually, Fang Moli also wanted to be the captain, not because he coveted power, but because he thought it would be cool to be the captain and be in the center of attention wherever he went, which was what he was after.
However, the person competing with him for the position of captain was none other than Fang Xiu, who had once saved him and helped him.
He disdained to do anything ungrateful, and he knew very well that without Fang Xiu, he would have died long ago, let alone become the captain.
As for displaying his divine power in public, Fang Moli didn't think he wouldn't find such an opportunity after becoming a fifth-tier cultivator.
With Fang Moli's statement, Li Xiaoru and the others no longer had any reservations and quickly raised their hands.
"I agree!" x2
Li Xiaoru and Xiong Tianguang exchanged a glance, and the two were eager to express their opinions, their eyes almost sparking with rage.
Luo Qingxin also silently raised her little hand.
At this point, all the team leaders at headquarters agreed.
No one present expected that Fang Xiu would have such a great influence at headquarters in such a short period of time.
Following the captains' statements, several newly promoted fourth-tier spirit masters also expressed their agreement.
Their thinking was simple: the position of captain was out of their reach anyway, but if Fang Xiu became captain, wouldn't they be able to compete for the captain's position? Naturally, they would agree.
"I agree."
I agree.
There are more and more voices in favor, but there are also voices of opposition, which stem from a natural distrust of young people.
After all, Fang Xiu was too young.
However, those who opposed him were ultimately in the minority; most people were still grateful to Fang Xiu for saving their lives.
Many people were whispering among themselves.
"So young to be the captain, and a third-tier spirit master at that."
"Exactly, hasn't anyone thought about checking his background?"
"So what if they're young? They can foresee the future. Is there anyone more suitable to steer the ship than a prophet?"
"Reviewing documents? You must be dreaming. You think he's a spy? If he were a spy, headquarters would have been destroyed long ago. Let the facts speak for themselves, don't you understand?"
As everyone chimed in, more and more people raised their hands in agreement.
The minister, observing the one-sided situation, pondered for a moment.
"Fang Xiu, with your achievements, you are indeed qualified to serve as the chief captain. However, this is a matter of great importance. Let me go back and report to my superiors before making a decision. What do you think?"
Fang Xiu nodded calmly: "Okay."
He knew very well that the selection of the chief captain was not something that could be decided in a single meeting; there were many subsequent steps, making it a very complicated matter.
It's enough that the minister has considered this matter.
"Tomorrow, I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
The matter of the Commander-in-Chief was temporarily put on hold, and the Minister then began to arrange post-war reconstruction and the elimination of the supernatural entities.
"Minister, recently, many people in Shangjing City have claimed to have seen ghosts, and there have even been casualties. There are also many posts about ghosts online, and some people are even live-streaming their ghost-hunting adventures."
Many people have given their accounts, some true and some false. Public opinion... is almost out of control.
The minister's face was solemn: "I had long expected this day to come. As the speed of the strange invasion accelerates, the matter of strange beings and spirit masters will eventually be exposed. I just didn't expect this day to come so soon."
"Minister, what should we do? Should we continue to hide it, or make it public?"
Before the minister could reply, Li Xiaoru shouted, "Of course we should continue to conceal it. Do you want to throw the world into chaos? Besides, those special anomalies can absorb and utilize negative emotions. The S-class anomaly nightmare in Green Vine City was just like that."
If panic grips the entire society, and a nightmarish monster appears, the nation is in grave danger!
"That's incorrect," Fang Moli objected.
"It's better to guide than to suppress. Simply covering it up will only fuel panic. Without guidance from headquarters, the public will only speculate wildly, and all sorts of conspiracy theories will spread, making the situation even more uncontrollable."
The minister looked at Fang Moli with approval. He hadn't expected Fang Moli to have such insightful views. It seemed that after breaking through to the fifth level, he had become much more composed and knew how to look at problems from different angles.
But as soon as Fang Moli uttered his next sentence, the minister's face immediately darkened.
"Therefore, I believe that we should launch a live broadcast for all citizens and have it broadcast on major video websites and TV channels, with me appearing on camera to represent headquarters and reveal the truth to the public!"
Good heavens, the true intentions have been revealed.
Those who knew what kind of person Fang Moli was suddenly realized why he could say such insightful things—it was all a prelude to appearing on television, a clever move indeed.
"Headquarters will consider your opinion," the minister said with a dark face, not wanting to lose his temper in front of everyone.
"This matter requires further consideration; let's move on to the next topic."
......
......
After the meeting, Fang Xiu returned to his temporary residence to prepare for sleep.
Even though it's daytime, he still needs to sleep.
Because Nightmare had expended a lot of power in this battle, it recklessly expanded its dream realm, somewhat like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, which resulted in a severe blow to its vitality.
The power of nightmares is crucial, so these past few days Fang Xiu has been hiding in his room sleeping whenever he has nothing to do, taking the opportunity to absorb fear.
He had barely lain down when there was a thud...
There was a knock on the door.
"Brother Hugh, Brother Hugh! I heard you're going to be the captain!"
Xiao Chuxia's excited voice came from outside the door.
"Brother Xiu, open the door! You're trending on the global weird forum!" Zhao Hao's excited voice followed.
Fang Xiu was forced to wake up from his dream and opened the door.
The entrance was crowded with people, including Xiao Chuxia, Zhao Hao, Yang Ming, and others.
Yang Ming, Zhao Hao, and the others were all covered in bruises, clearly having been seriously injured in the last battle, but they were all in good condition.
Fang Xiu keenly scanned the group and noticed that although they were injured, their aura had increased, indicating that they had clearly gained considerable strength in this battle.
Especially Zhao Hao and Fatty, these two have already broken through to the second level.
