Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot Chapter 1325 - 1325 547 Serving as Honorary and Permanent

Chapter 1325: Chapter 547: Serving as Honorary and Permanent Committee mber_2 Chapter 1325: Chapter 547: Serving as Honorary and Permanent Committee mber_2 Wang Tao shook his head.

“Alright! Our country has many underground routes, and although many are damaged, so are still intact. After you find the exact location of Silver Serpent Base, notify as soon as possible. I’ll see if we can use these routes to establish contact with them.”

Gu Yun added.

“No problem, I’ll inform you when the ti cos. Oh, by the way, there’s another thing, have you heard about the Summoning Altar…”

Wang Tao then explained the situation of the Summoning Altar to Gu Yun.

The Summoning Altar should not be used indiscriminately, as it could harm both others and oneself. For the vast majority of people, using the Summoning Altar is only detrintal and not beneficial. Even if one could obtain strength from it, it would only be temporary. In the end, one would either die or beco a slave to the Altar. There were no good outcos.

“There’s such a thing… Then we really need to take serious precautions against it, otherwise its harmfulness could exceed that of the Dusk Church!”

Gu Yun beca imdiately grave. He prepared to call others together that very night, to draw up so legal asures as soon as possible, warning the public about the dangers of the Summoning Altar, and directly equating it with drugs. And it happened to be a good ti to announce it along with the news about the Gene Potion.

With a stable, strength-enhancing thing like the Gene Potion available, most people would not pin their hopes on sothing like the Summoning Altar. Moreover, with the reinforcent from legal asures, the public should beco wary of it in advance. If they really encounter a Summoning Altar in the future, they would be able to respond more quickly.

After informing Gu Yun about these two important matters, Wang Tao ended the call.

The next day, Wang Tao didn’t have much to do, so he took a day’s rest at ho, enjoying a comfortable day off with Lan Yulian, Ding Yuqin, and others.

Gu Yun, on the other hand, was extrely busy. There were so many things to deal with in the past few days, and most of them were presided over by him, so he was quite occupied. He still made a personal visit to the Autumn Water Pavilion Villa, though.

“Huh? You want to serve as a commissioner?”

Wang Tao was surprised.

Although with his current strength, serving as a commissioner was entirely feasible, Wang Tao had previously stated he was not interested in managing affairs; he just wanted to beco stronger. Therefore, apart from the position of headmaster of the Awakeners School, he would not take on any other roles, even that of a commissioner.

After all, being a commissioner and then neglecting the duties seed inappropriate. But if he focused on managent, it would waste his ti fighting outside and affect his progression in strength. This was also why he didn’t expand the Starfire Society. If he had spent so effort on the Starfire Society, its scale probably would have been the largest in Changhe Base by now.

“No, no, no, not a regular commissioner, but an ‘Honorary Committee mber’ and a ‘Permanent Committee mber’!”

Seeing Wang Tao frowning, Gu Yun hurriedly shook his head.

“‘Honorary Committee mber’ and ‘Permanent Committee mber,’ what does that an?”

Wang Tao was curious.

Gu Yun explained:

“An Honorary Committee mber is a lifeti position, though without actual power. But you will enjoy the highest treatnt from Changhe Base for life! Only commissioners who have made significant contributions to Changhe Base can receive this. Although you’re not a commissioner, you’ve made so many contributions that, naturally, we made an exception…”

With no actual power, there wouldn’t be any work to do… Wang Tao nodded imdiately. Such an honorary position was no big deal, as long as it did not affect his progression in strength.

“As for a Permanent Committee mber, this one does co with real power and a lot more authority than regular mbers—for example, one vote could count as five! And most importantly, regular committee mbers serve for one year, while Permanent Committee mbers serve for five years…”

“Of course, I know you don’t want to waste your ti on managent, so if you want to manage affairs, you can do so at any ti. If you don’t want to, just do your own thing, it’s very free!”

“…Wouldn’t that be sowhat inappropriate?”

Wang Tao was sowhat speechless.

He despised those who slacked off on the job, himself excluded.

“You are our base’s foremost figure; you should have this treatnt! Plus, think about it—if even you are not a mber of our base’s committee, what would others think? They might even fear that you’re being suppressed…”

Gu Yun said solemnly,

“How co you want to serve on the committee all of a sudden?”

Wang Tao was still sowhat puzzled.

Gu Yun did not hide anything and directly explained to Wang Tao:

“There’s nothing that can’t be said, actually there are two reasons…”

“One is that you defeated Cheng Yiyi. Although we all don’t quite understand, Cheng Yiyi said that you held back to save her face and could have ended the battle sooner… So one can imagine your strength, you are definitely Changhe Base’s undisputed number one! If you don’t serve as a committee mber, it would be sowhat unreasonable…”

“The second reason is, it’s ti for the committee mbers to rotate. So of the current mbers are preparing to step down, and we need new people to fill in…”

Hearing this, Wang Tao was very surprised.

“Committee rotation? They are preparing to step down?”

More than a year had passed since the apocalypse began.

Although according to the rules, a committee mber’s term is one year, and indeed the term of the current batch of mbers was about to expire, there was no rule against consecutive terms. They could continue serving. No one could force them down unless they voluntarily chose to step aside…

“Yes, they are voluntarily stepping down. Because now everyone’s strength is increasing and their abilities are still stuck at Level 3… Although with the gene potion, even if one cannot undergo the Awakening, they could still ascend to Level 4, but there’s still a significant difference between Ability Users and Awakeners… Moreover, they are not getting any younger. They feel they can’t keep up with the tis and would do better to step aside and let more capable people take over. They can also get so well-deserved rest…”

Gu Yun spoke with a hint of emotion.

“That’s truly admirable!”

Wang Tao was also sowhat amazed.

In Changhe Base, the presence of Gu Yun as the mayor might seem high, as he seed to handle all important matters. But when it cos to authority and status, the committee mbers hold higher positions. Gu Yun seed more like a housekeeper. Many things that seed to be decided by Gu Yun were actually finalized by the committee before being executed by him and the various departnts of City Hall.

Thus, the fact that these committee mbers were willing to voluntarily give up their power and choose to step aside for more capable individuals earned Wang Tao’s great respect. Most people would not be able to do this.

“Today, my old leader had a talk with . He said that they simply cannot comprehend the strength of you Awakeners, especially soone like you, a Fifth Order Awakener…”

“If they can’t even understand your abilities, then they won’t be able to formulate strategies should we encounter any crises in the future—if they overestimate your abilities, they might send you to your deaths; if they underestimate your abilities, it could be a massive waste… This is what’s known as ‘amateurs directing experts’!”

“The old leader said that now the base has found the right path and could continue stable developnt for so ti even if they suddenly disappeared. They want to take advantage of this timing to step down quickly and let the more capable younger people take over. This would also help ensure a better future for the base…”

Listening to Gu Yun’s words, Wang Tao felt admiration while also having to admit that his old leader had a valid point.

For example, even Wang Tao’s own strength wasn’t entirely clear to those closest to him like Lan Yulian—it wasn’t that Wang Tao was deliberately hiding his strength, but that he was continually growing stronger. It wasn’t practical to give constant updates, was it?

Having those with strong personal strength serve in the decision-making layer might have so drawbacks in certain aspects, but overall, it was more suitable.

Moreover, the committee mbers were only stepping down, not dying. If there were any managent issues they didn’t understand, they could still seek their advice…

“What’s your decision?”

Looking at Gu Yun’s expectant gaze, Wang Tao pondered for a mont and then reluctantly nodded.

“Alright, I agree.”

“Haha, congratulations, Commissioner Wang!”
