...

On the journey to the final destination, Bai E suddenly noticed Kiro Lan seed to have received so news. She excitedly approached him and leaned in, saying, "We just received word that in the district we're heading to, there's a 16-year-old child who recently participated in a special physical assessnt and ets the criteria. You can announce on the spot that he will receive the Growth Fund. Examples like this, so close to them, will make it easier for them to feel your grace."

"Alright." Bai E nodded indifferently.

Soon enough, the so-called 16-year-old child was brought before Bai E.

His body was sowhat frail, but his eyes were big and bright, exuding a vibrant spirit.

Faced with the inevitable grandeur surrounding Bai E, aside from a hint of reverence, the boy showed surprisingly little fear.

"What's your na?"

"Enoch, my lord."

"You will be one of the pillars of Blackwater City's future. Work hard." Bai E patted his shoulder and didn't say much more.

Yet, even so, among the countless young children who had listened to endless stories of Bai E's exploits, Enoch, who had now seen the new city lord in person and even experienced his touch, instantly developed a deep and unimaginable admiration.

"Yes, City Lord!" Enoch's eyes burned with fervor as he looked into Bai E's eyes. "I will do my best to beco soone valuable to this city!"

As the convoy moved forward slowly, they finally entered a road packed with crowds.

A vast number of people squeezed on both sides of the road, and Bai E only needed to wave gently for an entire section of the crowd to erupt into boundless enthusiasm.

["Lucky Strike" energy 50.]

Never before had the energy charge for Lucky Strike increased so rapidly.

It was just as Bai E once envisioned: as his status and position grew, accumulating Lucky Strike energy beca this straightforward.

When the vehicle ca to a halt, Bai E stood atop the off-road vehicle and summoned the boy nad "Enoch" from behind him.

Below, Enoch's father had nearly gone mad, shouting and weeping uncontrollably amidst the frenzied crowd, "That's my son! That's my son!"

Facing all the residents who were eagerly gazing at him, Bai E smiled and announced the boy's news, "Just now, after repeated verification by our frontline personnel, we've confird that Enoch is the talent our city needs for the future! Starting now, we will provide him with a monthly Growth Fund of no less than 1,000 Blackwater Coins. In fact, it's not just about him—anyone here has the chance, through effort and determination, to beco the talent our city needs. Humanity has slumbered in this dark era for too long. It's ti we dedicate our entire lives to the revival of all humanity!"

Bai E raised his arm and shouted passionately, "Long live humanity!"

Below, a sea of loyal followers echoed in thunderous voices, "Long live humanity!"

...

Several days later, when the ssenger squad captain returned to this strange city carrying orders from his superior, he felt as though he had entered the wrong place.

If not for being certain that the coordinates they locked onto were absolutely correct, and that the city indeed bore the na "Blackwater City," they might have turned back to search again.

The self-assured faces and expressions filled with hope for the future seen among the residents on the streets—could these really erge from the sa bleak and hopeless urban environnt he saw last ti?

What on earth happened during the ti he left this city to report back?

Finally, upon seeing the familiar diplomat he knew, the ssenger squad captain's tense expression relaxed, and he eagerly approached, curious, "It's only been a few days—what happened to your city?"

The diplomat glanced at the residents walking with heads held high and couldn't help but shake his head a little wryly.

"They all ca from the Lower City."

After Mr. Bai took office, he even lifted the circulation restrictions among the Upper City, Middle City, and Lower City.

Residents who had lived their entire lives breathing the mildewed air of the Lower City now finally had the chance to co to the surface.

And with Mr. Bai's support, they no longer needed to fear being driven back underground into the darkness by the brutal security forces at any mont.

Naturally, one by one, they gradually gained confidence.

"Of course, the one who brought about these changes to the city is still our new City Lord."

The diplomat stated the fact with a tone of awe and admiration, his gaze also filled with reverence.

Though the city's officials were mostly of noble birth, even among the nobles, so fared poorly.

Previously, in such chaotic tis, there had hardly been any connections with other cities or powers. As a diplomat, he was practically redundant.

Being able to hold such a position, naturally, he belonged to the type of nobles who were unpopular in aristocratic circles.

During the ti of Mr. Bai's rise, those who were once peripheral nobles suffered the least impact.

Therefore, in every sense, this diplomat worshipped the new City Lord, who had revitalized the city, from the depths of his heart.

Hearing such a mysterious remark from the diplomat, the ssenger squad captain blinked nervously and asked, "The new City Lord?"

Last ti they ca, the city was still under the previous City Lord's rule, and from what he understood, that person leaned more toward forming alliances.

If the leadership had changed and their previous agreents with Blackwater City were no longer valid, what were they supposed to do?

Unexpectedly, the diplomat playfully winked at him, "The new City Lord—you know him... and are quite familiar with him."

Familiar enough that the report he sent back must have been filled with this individual's na.

The captain of the ssenger squad, understanding the diplomat's implication, suddenly lit up with surprise. "It's General Bai E!"

"Ah~ now he's called Mr. Bai."

"Yes, yes! Mr. Bai it is." The captain finally relaxed. "I said it last ti—soone with that kind of strength, the people of Blackwater City must be blind to keep him as just a general."

The diplomat didn't comnt on that. Though he and the captain of the imperial ssenger squad were quite familiar and had a good private rapport, it was better not to let such 'scandalous' comnts out.

Clearing his throat lightly, the diplomat straightened his expression. "Enough small talk. Last ti, you said you'd return to seek approval from the Imperial Capital. Now that you're back, I assu you've got a clear answer?"

On matters of importance, the ssenger squad captain was just as serious. "That's right. In fact, we've already contacted several major cities around the globe, and most have expressed a willingness to cooperate. However, given the discrepancy in strength among participating cities, the newly ford alliance obviously doesn't have enough resources to support every city simultaneously. Therefore, after discussions among the Imperial Capital's high command, it was decided to hold a global summit in the Imperial Capital, with representatives from all major cities in attendance."

"The first purpose of this summit, naturally, is to foster connections between the cities. Due to the abandonnt of internet technology, we've all lost contact with one another. Taking this opportunity to reconnect and establish relations is the most critical goal."

"Secondly... it's to elect regional leaders." The ssenger squad captain gave the diplomat a flattering smile before continuing, "Although the Imperial Capital is already well aware of your city's strength, if we establish the surrounding area as a regional zone, we would still need the other cities in the region to be fully convinced of Blackwater City's capabilities, wouldn't you agree?"
