Three days later.
As a series of illusory figures flickered, nine people appeared in the conference room.
"Hello everyone, I am Needham Heaton, the acting mayor of Skyhawk City. You may call me Heaton."
The only unfamiliar face among them introduced himself and then looked at Qin Sheng.
"To avoid any confusion for those who don't recognize me," Qin Sheng said with a smile, "Qin Sheng, leader of the Creation Cult."
Of course, no one would be unfamiliar with him, since the Venerables immediately reported the incident to their respective city lords upon their return.
"I'm very glad that everyone has given us the honor of being here."
Qin Sheng glanced at the other eight figures, sat up straight, and said, "I'm sure you all understand the purpose of this meeting: to acknowledge the status of Creation City. Does anyone have any objections?"
"I object."
Lord Green of Dream Desire City leaned back in his chair and said leisurely, "The Creation Cult, as a terrorist organization, occupies a city and yet dares to dream of being one of the Nine Cities alongside us. I'm afraid that's wishful thinking."
Anna, as the lord of Grizzly City, also hinted, "After returning, the people are very curious about the outcome of this campaign against the Creation Cult."
"Most of them believe that the Creation Cult has been destroyed and that Flying Cherry City has been brought back into our hands."
The other city lords did not continue to speak, because the meaning was already quite clear.
Even if their presence here acknowledges the status of Creation City, it is unlikely to win over public opinion.
Qin Sheng nodded: "We are all sensible people, and it is indeed unlikely that we can openly and honestly acknowledge the status of Creation City."
He sighed and said with great regret, "What a pity. I prepared a lot of standard live weapons, it seems that they can only be used internally."
That's not necessarily true.
Cao Guangxing spoke up, and his words caused the other city lords to frown.
"What do you mean?" Anna asked suspiciously.
After all, in her mind, the presence of other city lords at the meeting might be a gesture of goodwill, but Cao Guangxing would not choose to compromise.
So I was quite surprised by what he said.
"The public is currently unaware of who the leader of the Creation Cult is, nor is it clear who will win this battle."
Cao Guang said calmly, "We can conceal some of the truth and only show the public what they want to see."
"For example, we suffered heavy losses with the Creation Cult, but managed to reclaim the genius scientist Qin Sheng and mass-produce living weapons."
Skyhawk City's acting city lord, Heaton, frowned slightly: "Does City Lord Cao mean to acknowledge the status of Creation City and cooperate with it?"
"Yes," Cao Guangxing said calmly.
This made the other city lords look at him strangely, and some suspected that he had been in cahoots with the Creation Cult all along.
“That’s unexpected,” Anna said with a playful tone.
"Lord Cao's opinion is correct."
Qin Sheng nodded: "I can sell living weapons to everyone in this way, but in return, Creation City will also need a lot of resources."
Cao Guangxing said, "Then let's make a decision."
He glanced at the others and said slowly, "Those city lords who acknowledge Creation City as one of the nine cities but do not publicly acknowledge it, please raise your hands."
He was the first to raise his hand.
Beside him, Qi Lian, the city lord of Kaitian City, hesitated for a moment before raising his hand.
Zhao Limin, the city lord of Zhenjiang City, frowned and shook his head without raising his hand.
But with Skyhawk City, Grizzly Bear City, and United City raising their hands one after another, there were already five votes.
"I'm glad you all have recognized Creation City," Qin Sheng said slowly. "Now let's discuss the specific methods for promoting living weapons and the resources we need."
Qin Sheng disappeared during the subsequent discussions, and Yu Rui took over the coordination.
They did not start promoting it simultaneously in Nine Cities, as they were also worried about the potential problems with live weapons, so they chose Kaitian City as the experimental site.
Qi Lian agreed, mainly because Cao Guangxing nodded.
The other cities mainly need to provide the remains of alien beasts, as well as some scientific research equipment.
The Creation Cult doesn't really need energy liquids and energy stones that were previously used for cultivation.
"Commander Luo."
How to allocate the output of live weapons is still unanswered. Other cities will wait and see the effects before deciding how many resources to invest and how many quotas to obtain.
We're just waiting for feedback from Kaitian City.
Yu Rui finalized the first batch of live weapons to be transported to Kaitian City and then sought out Luo Hongxia.
"The living weapons in Kaitian City are now in your hands."
Luo Hongxia looked at the live weapons on the order and felt a sense of disorientation.
Didn't they come to wipe out the Creation Cult just two days ago?
How did we end up collaborating now?
But that makes sense, considering Qin Sheng is currently the only person with the record of killing a demigod; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him invincible.
There is no future in continuing to be hostile to the Creation Cult.
Luo Hongxia sighed. The only good news was that Qin Sheng wasn't completely bad.
At the very least, when they were testing live weapons, they said that live weapons were intended to be promoted to everyone and that it was a good thing for everyone.
They still keep their promises.
"Commander Luo?" Yu Rui asked, puzzled. "Is there a problem?"
"Yes, aren't there a lot of living weapons at the Venerable level among these standard weapons?"
"I don't know, it was requested by Kaitian City."
Yu Rui glanced at it: "You can find out the specifics over there. If there are any unexpected issues, you can choose not to hand it over to them."
She closed the notebook calmly: "No one will have any objections."
Luo Hongxia remained silent for a moment, then nodded helplessly.
This escort of standard-issue weaponry has also become a mission listed on the Creation Church's official website.
"Can we go to other cities now?"
"Of course, the Lord has won!"
"However, it should be noted that you are not allowed to reveal your religious identity unless absolutely necessary."
"So, in a critical situation, your identity could be exposed?"
"nonsense!"
"You don't understand, there's a deeper meaning to this."
"Damn! That sixth guy snatched all the seats while we were chatting!"
"Holy crap! There's a stealth dog!"
Inside Creation City, Qin Sheng did not specifically explain the outcome of this siege, but the fact that Creation City still exists speaks volumes.
Other cities also issued announcements one after another.
As mentioned at the meeting, this encirclement and suppression was unsuccessful, but it dealt a heavy blow to the Creation Cult. After a period of recuperation, they will choose to continue the encirclement and suppression.
At the same time, this encirclement and suppression was not without its gains; Qin Sheng, who had previously developed living weapons, was also rescued.
Soon, the live weapon will be tested for the first time in Kaitian City. Those who are interested can go there to purchase the live weapon and record its effects.
(You can also get a 5 yuan rebate by bringing your test data!)
Following the appearance of the first advertisement, subsequent advertisements began to spread online.
In particular, in Kaitian City, many chambers of commerce that were contacted by the authorities hung up banners, and some even displayed countdowns on big screens to mark the arrival time of live weapons.
When the live weapons arrived in Kaitian City, long queues had already formed outside the shops.
After all, the effects shown in the promotional video are enough to rival dragon beasts!
