In the blink of an eye, fifteen years passed.
In the southwest area, through the periphery surrounded by hills, there is a huge city in the center of the hills.
The city is called Xunxing City. After fifteen years of development, the city was finally built. Thick and tall city walls stand on the earth, protecting the humans living inside.
With the continuous absorption of outsiders and the reproduction of local residents, the city's population has reached more than 1.5 million. In addition to the big city, there are two small cities, several towns and dozens of villages.
"This is what the artifact looks like, Master, please take a look."
At the foot of a mountain, in a city, in a luxurious mansion, Lu Chengchuan sat in his office, with a gloomy-faced man standing next to him.
The man exuded a strange aura that made people feel uncomfortable.
He is not a human, but a human being possessed by a parasitic spirit.
In order to find the artifact, Lu Chengchuan released the parasitic monster in the crystal and found a body of a gold-level super-powered person for it to parasitize.
This was a last resort. The parasitic monster had only been out for more than half a month, and Lu Chengchuan left a trace of mental power in its soul to control it.
The parasitic monster calls itself "Chiron" and holds several paintings in its hands, which are the specific appearance of the artifact.
"Teacher, hurry up, the meeting is about to start and everyone is here."
Just as Lu Chengchuan was about to say something, Raya's voice came from outside the door.
There are two super-powered guards standing at the door of the office. Normally, they have to go in and report who is coming, and then decide whether to let anyone in based on the city lord's attitude.
But when they saw that the person coming was Raya, the two soldiers did not dare to stop her and just watched her push the door and go in.
"Why rush? Without me, the business won't open now. Even if they have to wait for ten days, they'll have to wait."
In the room, Lu Chengchuan put down the book.
Today is the five-year reporting meeting. His subordinates will report to him everything that has happened in the past five years, and then they will start discussing various issues.
"Haven't you heard enough of their complaints? They're arguing over something."
Lu Chengchuan really doesn't like holding meetings. Every time there is a meeting, they are either fighting for interests or arguing. They can indeed get things done, but when there are too many people, there will be more things to do.
"Teacher, you are the mayor of the city, and everyone has to listen to your opinion." Raya was helpless, but still persuaded.
Fifteen years have passed. Lu Chengchuan has given her a lot of resources, and personally taught her from time to time. Now she has become a gold-level super-powered person.
Time has not left too many traces on her face, and she still looks young, but the confused little girl has disappeared. Now she is very mature and does things neatly and efficiently.
In the eyes of outsiders, she is the second most noble person in Xunxing City.
As the city lord's only disciple, she holds far more power than anyone in other departments, and all departments must consider her opinions.
However, in front of Lu Chengchuan, Raya was still like a little girl. Only when she was with her teacher would she say whatever she wanted.
"I think you are more like the city lord, but unfortunately your strength is not enough. You should practice well and don't waste your time on these things." Lu Chengchuan replied casually.
Raya puts a lot of energy into politics, which is not a good thing for a practitioner.
“This is your city, and I want to make it better.”
Her teacher hardly cared about those things. He just studied something in the office every day, killed monsters when they came, and taught her how to practice from time to time.
He really doesn't ask about what's going on in the city and will only show up when there's a major incident.
She wanted to contribute, and her identity as the city lord's disciple allowed her to interfere in many things, and others could not ignore her. Over the past ten years, she had also learned a lot.
"Just let them worry about these things. This is what they do." Lu Chengchuan didn't care much and looked like a hands-off boss.
Raya looked helpless, but she couldn't say anything.
Lu Chengchuan walked out, and Laya had to follow him. As she walked, she glanced at the gloomy man next to her.
No one knew where this guy came from. He had a strange aura, but his strength was at the master level. As soon as he arrived, he called the teacher "Master", which made her completely confused.
She didn't like this guy very much, but there was nothing she could do about him.
"Let's go, there's something for them to do."
In the center of the city, in a tall building, the city’s senior officials gathered together, about a hundred people, waiting for the arrival of a person.
The hall was very quiet and no one dared to speak.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
After about ten minutes, a bell suddenly rang outside. The moment the bell rang, they instantly became alert.
The bell rang twelve times in total. When the last bell rang, the door of the House of Representatives suddenly opened, and the person they were waiting for finally appeared.
Everyone stood up and bowed their heads in respect to the newcomer.
Lu Chengchuan sat in his special seat, Raya sat next to him, and Chiron stood in the shadow behind him, as if he wanted to blend in.
"Let's start. What happened in the past five years?"
According to normal procedures, he should give a speech before starting, but he is the one who makes the rules, and these rules are dispensable to him.
As he finished speaking, leaders of various departments began to report on the achievements of the past five years.
How much have we gained and how much have we paid in the past five years? It describes in detail the people's livelihood, the military and all other aspects.
After talking about the gains, we will discuss the problems of the past five years. A "battle" is about to break out.
"General Luke, I'd like to ask why the military's spending has been excessive for ten consecutive years, every year. The city's resources are not infinite..."
The person in charge of finance stood up immediately and fired at the army.
Lu Chengchuan appreciated the legion general Luca and made him a general, and he has been managing the army for many years.
"We have to fight against monsters, you know! If soldiers are killed or injured, we have to pay for their medical treatment. You don't have to go to the battlefield, so it's easy for you to say that here!"
Later, Luke dragged other departments into it, and the conference room turned into a vegetable market.
"Look, they're arguing about this again." Lu Chengchuan turned his head and used his mental power to convey a message to Raya.
Raya felt somewhat helpless after hearing this, and replied in her mind: "This is also for the city. After all, finances are very important. Without money, many things cannot be done."
Even in the extraordinary world, resources are an unavoidable problem.
"Eight years ago, they discovered two more medium-sized super-energy mineral veins. Aren't the profits from three veins enough? These people are just arguing for their own interests."
While they were arguing downstairs, Lu Chengchuan and Laya were having a secret conversation upstairs.
The group of people were arguing for more than an hour, and no one was giving in. Lu Chengchuan's patience was finally exhausted.
"Quiet."
