Shennong Dao Master

Chapter 1833 - 7: Oh No, They’re Coming for My Disciple!

Tao Yang Star Land, Central Extreme Palace.The heads of various departments such as the Mystical Mechanism Bureau, Tunnel Department, Medical Department, Military Department, and Boundary Transport Department met again for discussion.

It’s been more than half a year since Zhao Xing came here, with frequent small meetings, but this is only the second large meeting.

Though there are many leaders sitting here now, only four people actually make the decisions: Sea Communication Envoy Zhao Xing, Tunnel Department Supervisor Qiu Zishan, Mystical Mechanism Bureau Supervisor Gu Ming, Military Department Garrison Envoy Zhou Ze.

"I want to conduct a temporary personnel adjustment, the list is as follows, if anyone has objections, please speak up."

Zhao Xing transmitted the list to the heads of the departments through the Star Mirror.

After waiting for a while, no one spoke up.

No joke, last time Bi Gang raised objections, he was immediately swallowed by the Void Grassman, locked up for a few days, and then punished to back the Boundary Mountain Peak.

Who would dare to oppose now?

Zhao Xing glanced at the expressions of everyone in the hall, instantly understanding the oppressive atmosphere recently.

Actually, he didn’t do much, just increased the work intensity a bit—using other professions as martial artists, using martial artists as beasts.

Those who dared to oppose were locked in the Void Grassman’s small black room.

The world had polarized impressions of the Self Sect’s Minister of Agriculture, like Yuan Qiusheng, whom everyone adored, while combat-type Ministers were often seen as freakish.

Claiming the title of Primordial Saint, insiders naturally saw it as praise, while outsiders saw it as ’freakish Saint Heir’?

"I need to change this impression; everyone fearing me is not good," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"Lord Qiu, although I’ve cultivated ’Extreme Land’, I’m not as familiar with your personnel in the Tunnel Department. Does this adjustment seem appropriate?"

"Uncle Master, completely appropriate." Qiu Zishan nodded honestly, having been completely persuaded by Zhao Xing after over half a year of interaction.

In terms of seniority, he’s a disciple of Tao Yangzi, who is a disciple of Emperor Hongshan, and Zhao Xing was directly guided by Emperor Hongshan, so he simply started calling Zhao Xing Uncle Master.

"Good." Zhao Xing nodded with a smile.

Qiu Zishan was still too straightforward, since he asked this question obviously to start the conversation, to bring up work-related issues.

But Qiu Zishan just couldn’t grasp the spirit.

It seems this intricate task still relies on Gu Ming.

"Mr. Gu, what do you think?"

Gu Ming thought for a moment, first affirming Zhao Xing’s personnel adjustment move: "Currently in Tao Yang Star Land, multiple departments are below capacity, your personnel adjustments are to improve efficiency and facilitate post-event commendation statistics."

"No one should be doing the work of a chief officer while only receiving the commendation of a deputy."

See, Gu Ming’s brain is really useful, he immediately grasped the leader’s spirit.

"After the abnormal phenomenon at Stacked Realm Mountain, some personnel from Tao Yang Base were transferred to the First Base, mainly from military, medical, and engineering."

"Another group was trapped in Stacked Realm Mountain, although few in number, many were chief and deputy officers."

"Two dispatches occurred, one after an accident at the Fourth Boundary Mountain, and another after the collapse of the passage between the Fourth and Fifth Boundary Mountains, sending personnel to reinforce the tunnels."

Gu Ming started recounting the previous events at Tao Yang Base to help Zhao Xing review cause and effect.

For instance, the Military Department overseeing a total of four Tuoye Armies, Zhou Ze as Chief Envoy, Bi Gang and two martial artists as vice envoys.

Yet now, only Zhou Ze and Bi Gang are left here, the other two vice envoys are trapped inside the Boundary Mountain.

Other departments like the Boundary Transport Department and Medical Department are also lacking key personnel.

Zhao Xing reviewed past military and governmental orders of Tao Yang Star Land, discovering these two dispatches were quite unreasonable.

Instinctively, he asked: "Why not deploy concentrated forces at once instead of small, piecemeal actions?"

Gu Ming remained silent, just glanced at Qiu Zishan.

The latter showed a look of shame.

Upon observing this, Zhao Xing understood, based on the leadership status of the Ancient Hill in the Sea Passage, Qiu Zishan as the Tunnel Department chief was nominally equal to Gu Ming, but initially, everything was following Qiu Zishan.

Not until Qiu Zishan made several mistakes did Gu Ming finally lose patience and confront him.

But now it’s all in the past, Qiu Zishan has started calling him Uncle Master, what more could Gu Ming say?

Seeing Zhao Xing did not continue questioning, he smoothly shifted the topic: "The disaster arrived too quickly, and the establishment time of Tao Yang Base was too short."

"Fortunately, sir, you turned the tide; now not only have we cleared the debris of Boundary Mountain, restored the Yin Yang Stars, but also repaired a small part of the Teleportation Array... everyone has still done some remedial actions."

"Perhaps we can balance merits with faults, maybe even have merits outweigh faults."

The atmosphere in the hall immediately relaxed a bit.

Indeed, after more than half a year of efforts, Tao Yang Star Land’s recovery is nearly at the level before the disaster, though personnel and resources were heavily consumed.

Thanks to Zhao Xing’s Magic Theory, everyone’s fear of Stacked Realm Mountain has been greatly reduced.

Isn’t it just a natural catastrophe?

Everyone is in the Tao Domain Realm, under the Desolate Domain Era context; who hasn’t undertaken a few tasks against the Desolate Domain?

Zhao Xing’s Magic Theory at least drove away the fear brought by the unknown!

With direction, even if they in the Tao Domain Realm still can’t resolve the Stacked Realm Mountain issue, wouldn’t the Reincarnation Realm or even a Demigod be able to?

If Tao Yang Star Land can recover to normal levels, the Sea Passage might not necessarily be closed.

The rights and positions of these people are firmly tied to the Sea Passage; as long as the Sea Passage is not abandoned, they can continue their work.

"You mentioned personnel adjustments earlier, I, Gu Ming, along with the Mystical Mechanism Bureau, was the first to agree, although I think we can slightly adjust the specific personnel involved..."
