Chapter 90 (Minor Repair)
"I heard that the Eastern Theater and the Southern Theater are not peaceful?" Shen Jian sat in the leader's room of Huozhong without raising his head. There were piles of documents on the table. Xu Yinmo stood not far away and responded in a low voice.
"Yes, sir."
In the spacious office, a blue screen was spinning like a broadcast, thirty centimeters above the pure silver wall. A dozen small balls controlled by Solomon were flying around the office, waving their tiny wings.
After the meeting was over and everyone had left, Shen Jian quickly whispered to Xu Yinmo to go to the leader's room and put the three rolled-up pieces of paper in his hand into his hand.
Xu Yinmo was surprised for a moment, "What is this?"
"A brief report before the meeting, written by Shen Lanhe, for me to see."
Shen Jian deliberately emphasized the three words "show me".
The report submitted to the leader and the report displayed to the outside world are completely different.
Xu Yinmo seemed to be thinking about it.
He did not attend the meeting at Wuyan Tower.
The chain reaction caused by the turmoil in the upper-level organization has caused the major war zones to become restless. He needs to go to the ground to deal with these matters. He has been rescheduling the affairs of the war zones these two days.
In addition, Xu Yinmo didn't really want to set foot in the area under the leader's jurisdiction before officially joining the Wuyan Tower.
"I will approve a batch of armed forces to deal with the three war zones." Shen Jian said lightly. He corrected the documents a little slowly, and then simply stopped, tore out a piece of paper and began to write the transfer order on the spot.
Xu Yinmo subconsciously reacted to this sentence for a while, and suddenly his pupils contracted, and his voice was urgent. He immediately took a step forward: "...Sir!"
This was not out of gratitude; he almost spoke out of nervousness.
There was a trace of panic in Xu Yinmo's eyes, "Did I do something wrong?"
Shen Jian stopped writing his signature, and a huge question mark slowly appeared on his head, "...Hmm?"
The long-haired man in military uniform said in a daze, "I can handle these things completely by myself. You taking action in person is already doing it for me..."
Even though he said that, Xu Yinmo could still feel the fear of weightlessness as if he had just stepped off a cliff.
Generally speaking, when a leader steps forward to help with a mission that is obviously a "letter of surrender", it can only mean two things: one, the mission is on the verge of failure; two, he is ready to give up on this candidate cadre.
But in fact, no matter what the situation is, there is only one outcome for those who undertake this task: being abandoned.
Xu Yinmo looked up at Shen Jian in silence and stiffness, his back seemed to be bent by some invisible weight, and he almost choked and asked, "Sir, I..."
Shen Jian interrupted Xu Yinmo expressionlessly.
He took back the pen and asked softly with a stiff smile, "What are you thinking about?"
"I just need you to prove that the Northern Theater is on the side of the Wuyan Tower, or that the Northern Theater is protected by the Wuyan Tower. That's fine too, it's up to you."
In Shen Jian's opinion, he had already relaxed the conditions to the point where it would be acceptable as long as these two results were achieved, and he even let Xu Yinmo choose whether to "merge" the Northern War Zone into the Wuyan Tower.
Standing on the side of Wuyan Tower and accepting Wuyan Tower's protection, although belonging to the same faction, obviously represent diametrically opposite meanings.
Shen Jian lowered his voice once again, as if he was afraid of scaring his nervous subordinates, and his voice was almost as calm as when they first met, "It's very simple, Xu Yinmo."
"...What?" Xu Yinmo asked in confusion.
Chen Jian looked at Xu Yinmo in silence for a while, then smiled and crossed his arms, "Xu Yinmo, maybe you should explain what you just called a 'mistake', but I should first confirm that this is your second token of surrender, and I have not given up on you."
Shen Jian calmly reviewed the expressions of his subordinates in front of him just now.
Even though he didn't know much about those damn aristocratic rules, he could easily guess what Xu Yinmo was thinking.
Shen Jian needed to ensure that every manpower he could mobilize maintained extremely high work efficiency, so he waited patiently for Xu Yinmo to react.
As he wished, the long-haired man in military uniform in front of him seemed to be relieved, his brows relaxed, even though there was still a lingering fear of being abandoned in his eyes, but he dared to speak, "Sir..."
Shen Jian responded almost gently.
Although Shen Jian would never have thought that Xu Yinmo only calmed down because "Shen Jian was willing to speak out to comfort him".
Xu Yinmo didn't believe a single word Shen Jian said.
"Sir, Shen An, your subordinate who was brought back from the other world took half a year to complete, but in fact, he had already produced the first sword with quantum success in the laboratory last night." Xu Yinmo stated calmly, "If I am not mistaken, you hope that this technology can be applied to the next war as soon as possible."
Shen Jian hummed in a long voice, without denying it.
"...So, I can only try harder, sir. I don't know what position you will give us, but at least I want the same starting point." Xu Yinmo sighed and asked tentatively, "Can I complete this task by myself? Or do you think our starting points can be treated equally?"
He still didn't want to use the things in the Wuyan Tower before he had an official title.
You haven’t even joined the organization yet, but you’re using the organization’s things… ?
Xu Yinmo pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.
Shen Jian was silent for a while.
He was thinking about how to answer Xu Yinmo's question.
In fact, Xu Yinmo should have joined the inner lineage a long time ago, but he kept delaying because he needed Xu Yinmo to make the arrangements.
Shen Jian was not sure if Xu Yinmo would be able to accept the result if he told him now, but he made this decision during his first time traveling through time and space.
He clearly hinted that Xu Yinmo was observing the Wuyan Tower as an outsider so that he could regain control of the Wuyan Tower as quickly as possible after returning - the letter from Xu Yinmo was the best proof.
Shen Jian thought calmly for a while, knocked on the table, and said in the tense expression that the man in military uniform could not detect, "Second authority, yours."
"...What?" Xu Yinmo widened his eyes slightly and his heart began to beat.
Within three or four seconds, the sound of his heartbeat was so loud that Xu Yinmo suspected that he had neurasthenia, but his brain subconsciously repeated the word "second authority" seventy to eighty times.
He wasn’t sure what Shen Jian was talking about.
In fact, Shen Jian only glanced at him, and lightly skipped the topic that he was most concerned about in front of him, and said, "You don't have to use it, but the Northern Theater Command must use it."
Is it necessary to use it in the Northern Theater Command?
"..." Xu Yinmo stood in the leader's room, his mind turning many levels, and suddenly he thought of something. With Shen Jian's tacit consent, he opened the ball of paper in his pocket.
The focus of the meeting that Shen Lanhe wrote to Shen Jian was entirely centered around one key point: all the preparations that need to be made before facing the world consciousness.
For example, to deal with several large organizations that are not very peaceful, to stabilize the world situation, to open up the class channel, to occupy the main energy mines, to establish a "Spire Conference" led by the Wuyan Tower...
Shen Jian thought there was no problem.
However, he seemed to have forgotten that his subordinates were not always on the same page as him.
He had caught up with the subtle brain waves of his subordinates some time ago, but!
Shen Jian is evolving, and his subordinates are also evolving!!
Every word and every rule in the document delivered by Shen Lanhe was arrogantly testing Shen Jian's "whether he wants to be king".
Of course, Shen Jian himself didn't get what Shen Lanhe was saying at all.
Xu Yinmo looked at the paper in silence for two minutes until Shen Jian noticed something was wrong.
Xu Yinmo instantly put away the paper as usual, his expression seemed very strange, but before Shen Jian could say anything, Xu Yinmo lowered his head meekly and asked softly, "Then why did you do this?"
Xu Yinmo was like standing on the crater of a volcano, the boiling lava was about to crush him flat. The sharp warning and adrenaline that erupted between life and death were enough to allow him to stand up and withstand the quantum cannon even when he was on the verge of death.
He seemed to be the same as usual, but if Shen Jian walked a little closer, he would be able to find that Xu Yinmo's whole body was trembling with excitement.
But he had reached a certain climax, and his mind was unexpectedly calm.
Xu Yinmo knew it very well, he might be able to guess it, but he couldn't say it.
He must now demonstrate his total loyalty to the leader, like a mindless sword, and act only under the leader's instructions. Only in this precarious situation, when the world is about to change, can he carefully maintain his qualifications as a directly promoted cadre.
Now, Xu Yinmo suddenly understood why the leader had kept him until now - it was simply because the Northern Theater might occupy a very important position in Shen Jian's plan.
The Northern Theater Command must first deal with the military districts and official organizations on the ground, right? Before he has a confirmed connection with the Wuyan Tower, these sins will not fall on the Wuyan Tower.
Moreover, if he had jumped the level to obtain the second level of authority at the beginning, then these were definitely not the things he was going to do.
...Perhaps, Shen Jian needs an army, doesn't he?
Xu Yinmo thought slowly, is this a test of obedience?
...Although the gentleman certainly didn't know, he had already thought of countless ways to deal with this kind of test, and had no intention of resisting at all.
What if this was a type of question in the test that was easy to get points for? Xu Yinmo thought casually.
Shen Jian, who had no idea what his subordinates in front of him were like, felt a chill on his back. He subconsciously stroked the call instruction he had just written.
Xu Yinmo has always been very patient. He could wait for Wunian to enter the Wuyin Tower, and he could also wait until now for this opportunity to ascend directly.
He slowly raised his eyes, and as expected, he met the leader's gentle gaze.
Xu Yinmo paused, and once again meekly lowered his eyes. This time, he seemed to have truly received a definite answer, and quietly waited for it to become a reality.
"It's very simple." Shen Jian was silent for a while, and decided to ignore this small detail that didn't need to be taken seriously.
He seemed to be just discussing with Xu Yinmo what to have for afternoon tea this afternoon, or approving a small laboratory, and walked around the desk to Xu Yinmo.
Xu Yinmo knelt down on one knee almost the moment Shen Jian approached, and looked down at the leader who stopped not far from his sight.
Shen Jian calmly calculated in his mind the area he needed to clear before mobilizing his troops.
He was prepared to deal with the so-called "world consciousness" with all his strength, so he would never allow even one organization to suddenly stab him in the back at such a critical moment, no matter how small it was, let alone the major organizations that were eyeing him covetously.
During the four years when their leader occupied Shen Jian's body and stopped expanding and managing things, they wanted to bite off a piece of meat from Wu Yan Tower many times - the things they got in the Middle Ages were not all taken away with the leader's tacit consent.
Clearing out a clean battlefield is not necessarily necessary, but if it can be done without paying a lot of cost, why not do it?
Shen Jian said in a soft voice like reciting a poem, "...If a king needs to clear other obstacles before making changes, the first one to be cut must be the one with duplicate powers..."*
"Another soft persimmon or something like that." *Shen Jian said calmly.
Shen Jian paused, feeling that he had given the hint, he lowered his head slightly and looked at Xu Yinmo in front of him, who slowly raised his head and looked at him with an expression that he got the hint.
He nodded with satisfaction, patted Xu Yinmo on the shoulder and returned to his seat.
"Now, the choice is yours, Lord Xu Yinmo."
Shen Jian smiled and said, “Of course, you can also let me call you that for the last time.”
If possible, he would next call Xu Yinmo "subordinate" instead of "you".
Xu Yinmo's long hair was scattered on the ground, completely hiding his expression that was unable to calm down.
He raised his head and glanced at Shen Jian carefully, then lowered his head again before Shen Jian could react, silently showing his submission, without revealing even a little bit of the hot breath gushing out of his heart.
However, Shen Jian keenly caught Xu Yinmo's gaze and once again raised a question mark above his head.
He could sense that Xu Yinmo was a little emotional (?), but then he changed his mind and thought, after keeping him in suspense for so long, he was finally about to enter the Wuyan Tower, so it was normal for him to be a little excited.
Soon, Shen Jian turned his thoughts to how to get some people from the gods.
The "spark" has been drifting in the sky for a long time. In addition to energy, it needs something beyond real technology...
Only the silver-haired god can do this.
Shen Jian had been thinking for several days about how to trick the gods into working for him without telling them.
He never thought of letting the leader and the silver-haired god participate in the eradication of world consciousness.
It's very simple. They may belong to the same "species". If these three things can do some "devouring growth" drama at that time...
It would be fine if the two people on his side devoured the garbage, but if the world consciousness...
Shen Jian could vomit to death.
Of course, this leader who was still very calm at this moment could never have imagined that ten years later, when he was reviewing endless documents, he would want to travel through time and space to grab his neck and ask him why he didn’t ask him what Xu Yinmo was thinking now!!!
Everything starts from now when he and Xu Yinmo think that each other agrees with this so-called plan!!!
Shen Jian's life is filled with overtime and documents!!!
Shen Jian inexplicably felt a chill on his back.
Xu Yinmo had already stood up, blinked his eyes and asked happily, "It seems that you want to give me other tasks."
Shen Jian came back to his senses and hummed, "The control panel took over Area A. Shen Shuyi said that 'He' might be there."
But Shen Jian was not sure what Shen Shuyi was talking about, but for the sake of the shaky sense of tacit understanding between his subordinates, he chose to keep silent.
"... maybe we can find out?" Xu Yinmo asked tentatively.
"It's so detailed that it shows at what second each newborn was born." Shen Jian said calmly, "By the way, how is Shen Xiuzhu doing in your war zone?"
Xu Yinmo paused while adjusting the corner of his clothes, and said with a smile, “Didn’t Shen Xiuzhu report to you?”
Shen Jian glanced at him coldly, expressionless, "If you dare to say that you didn't leave connections in the war zone to monitor the situation, then I now declare that you have lost the qualification to obtain the letter of surrender."
Xu Yinmo carefully looked at Shen Jian's expression and chose a very euphemistic statement: "Shen Xiuzhu did leave some connections in his laboratory."
"Oh, so?"
"Of course, I am already very familiar with the operating procedures and..."
Xu Yinmo's voice stopped abruptly.
He suddenly remembered that Shen Jian had asked him to take over Shen Xiuzhu's job from the beginning, and Shen Xiuzhu's authority level had always been hovering between level three and level two.
In other words, since Shen Jian first woke up, he wanted to put Xu Yinmo at a level no lower than level three.
Suddenly realizing these things, Xu Yinmo was stunned for more than ten seconds.
After a moment, he looked up at Shen Jian’s expression.
The leader still had a gentle smile on his face, and he seemed to realize that he hadn't thought it through, so he gave him a little reminder to make him realize it, and his figure was reflected in his pupils.
Xu Yinmo was silent for a long time before he swallowed the emotion that was about to well up in the corners of his eyes.
He closed his eyes and leaned in deeply, "I'll be back soon, sir."
"I'd like to inform you of the victory first."
Xu Yinmo spoke in a gentle voice, and the unique pride of the younger generation finally spread in front of Shen Jian.
Of course, if Shen Jian knew what Xu Yinmo in front of him was thinking, he would probably immediately open his subordinate's head to see what the structure was.
...When he just woke up, he was lucky enough not to scare himself to death. How could he know who had what level of authority and could set up such a long-term coordination plan! !
Don’t use this kind of imagination!!
.
Fifteen minutes later, Xu Yinmo sat in the public area of Wuyin Tower.
He received the same treatment as Chen An before, the most central and eye-catching position.
However, Shen An was demonstrating the cold weapons fresh out of the laboratory, while Xu Yinmo...
Xu Yinmo smiled nonchalantly, and raised his chin slightly under the scorching gazes of many Wuyan Tower's direct descendants.
Shen An tutted, "Do you still want to transform your sword? Pull it faster, okay?"
"I should be the one saying this." Shen An reminded coldly.
"Oh, you are me, don't be offended." Shen An said casually.
He acknowledged Shen An, to which Shen An responded with just a calm look.
Xu Yinmo waited for them to fall silent again before he seemed to have just come out of his memories.
All the direct descendants have their eyes on him.
Xu Yinmo shrugged, "Yes, sir, acquiesced."
Instantly, the silent lounge started to burn as if it had been thrown into boiling water. Solomon was so excited that he wasted energy by setting off dozens of electronic fireworks in the air.
Shen Xiuzhu exhaled suddenly, and whispered to Shen Lanhe amid the cheers, "It's too risky."
"As long as it's useful." Chen Lanhe calmly looked at the descendants who were excited after a long time, "Sir, you have stayed in this position for too long."
"I'm worried..." Chen Lanhe paused and didn't continue.
Shen Wenyan, who had just walked up to them, glanced at them, then looked away, put on a smile, and joined the carnival with great interest.
What Chen Lanhe was worried about, they, the core descendants, could roughly guess.
It's just that I'm a little worried. If Chen Jian stays in this position for a long time, the people below...
We should not be satisfied with this kind of achievement.
Shen Wenyan raised his glass to the senior cadres one by one with a smile on his face. It was not obvious that he had classified these cadres into different areas in his mind, and decided which ones to control first in dangerous moments.
I've said it before, the Wuyin Tower is not stable.
Shen Wenyan even thought with a little regret, Mr. has always been transparent, but why has he always really treated them as family?
They gathered together because of [Chen Jian], not because of Chen Jian's [achievements].
They did not come because of Shen Jian's achievements, but because Shen Jian made these achievements, so they came. First, it must be "Shen Jian", and then "Shen Jian's achievements".
Shen An held Shen Wenyan’s shoulder and looked at him almost indifferently for a while.
Ana Shen sighed and restrained his sharp eyes a little.
“Sir should be there, right?” Shen Wenyan asked in a low voice, “Shen Tu agreed, right?”
"This is not something you should care about." Shen An directly used his authority to pressure others. He almost warned, "Don't show this expression in front of the gentleman."
“Sir, he’s not here now…” Shen Wenyan murmured softly.
But he soon shut up because Shen Jian opened the door to the common room.
They all looked towards Shen Jian, where the electronic fireworks still left marks in the air.
Shen Jian was a little surprised, “So many people?”
“Of course, sir.” Shen Wenyan said with a smile, and he also raised his glass to Shen Jian, “Celebrate you.”
Shen Jian paused for a moment, realizing that they were talking about a plan that was about to get down to business, so he took the wine glass that he shouldn't have taken.
He raised his glass gently to his Tower of Invincibility. "Then let us celebrate our impending victory."
Shen An was silent for a while, sighed, put down the wine glass silently, and performed an ancient knight's salute to Shen Jian.
He shrugged in his heart almost helplessly.
Shen An knew that Shen Jian was his homologue… and was invited by Shen An.
He still had some integrity and loyalty left in him, and hoped that Chen Jian could control something at this time.
But... it's funny. If it worked, would they be so crazy?
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chen An silently covering his forehead and shaking his head, then curling his lips for a while.
Soon, while Shen Jian was still raising his glass forward, the direct descendants present lowered their heads tacitly and obediently.
For the first time, Shen Wenyan was the last one to make this move.
He looked at Shen Jian and thought, if Shen Jian stopped moving forward, what Wu Yanta would do would not be betrayal, but...
Calmly and silently, they escorted Shen Jian to where he should be.
Even if what follows is eternal indifference from the leader, even if the future is the outcome they fear the most.
After they stood up, amid the crowd, Shen Jian once again raised his glass to his Wuyan Tower.
"Everyone."
Shen Jian smiled and repeated, "Go first and report your victory."
