So, when these Blue Star Humans led the Swadian Militia and Swadian Commoners out of the meeting room, the other Blue Star Humans in Deherim were all abuzz.
“Oh my goodness, did you see that? Liu Shuai’s kid actually has Lingjie Human Race following him.”
“And look, Zhang Caidong seems to have Spiritual Realm soldiers following him, all Human Race soldiers.”
“There are 10 people in total, it looks like the 10 senior managers who were previously with Zhang Caidong. Look, the Spiritual Realm soldiers following them are like their own soldiers.”
“No, what do you mean ‘like their own soldiers’? These are clearly soldiers who obey their commands!”
“Exactly, exactly! I also noticed those soldiers obey the executives’ orders. It’s just like they are their Spiritual Realm Followers!”
“It really does seem that way, did you see it? Those Lingjie Human Race soldiers are completely obedient to Zhang Caidong and the others. Could it be that they truly gained the loyalty of these Lingjie Human Race and became their Commanders?”
“No way, if I remember correctly, Zhang Caidong’s Spiritual Realm Followers were some Gnolls, and Liu Shuai’s Spiritual Realm Followers were Goblins.”
“And I know that guy named Sun Zhiru. Before, he wasn’t even a Spiritual Realm Commander, but now look at the 10 Lingjie Human Race soldiers he’s leading. Has he really gained these Lingjie Human Race soldiers as his Followers?”
“Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. And look at their weapons and equipment, they are all Spiritual Realm weapons and equipment, and the clothes they are wearing are also Lingjie Human Race clothes.”
The Blue Star Humans outside all widened their eyes, looking at Zhang Caidong, Sun Zhiru, and the other 8 Blue Star Human Executives.
At this moment, they all widened their eyes in astonishment.
Because this truly shocked them. After all, when they went in, they were still wearing Blue Star Human clothes, but now they came out wearing Lingjie Human Race clothes and attire, including weapons.
Even if those people didn’t explicitly say it, just by thinking carefully, one could understand that they must have received some gifts under the summons of Lord Shen Mu.
After all, such a change was definitely not a small one. They could all see it, from the weapons and equipment they wore, to their everyday clothes, and then to the Lingjie Human Race behind them.
The change was simply too great.
However, they also saw the 7 ordinary Blue Star Humans who followed behind, who had not yet completed their transformation and did not have Spiritual Realm soldiers following them.
Each of them was whispering amongst themselves.
Because they discovered that Zhang Caidong, Sun Zhiru, and the other Human Race executives combined amounted to 10 people.
So they already guessed that this time, Shen Mu must have generously gifted 10 of them, perhaps even bringing about special changes, such as altering their critical scene anchor points and converting their Spiritual Realm Follower contracts.
Making their Spiritual Realm Followers these Lingjie Human Race.
“This is truly amazing, I never thought Lord Shen Mu would be so generous as to transform Zhang Caidong and the others into Spiritual Realm Followers.”
“Doesn’t this mean that Lord Shen Mu has started looking for official employees? Just like those official employees in the Diesel Company, they have their own Human Race soldiers as Followers, similar to Deherim, this new Human Race faction.”
“Wait, if we think about it that way, doesn’t that mean Lord Shen Mu has already started establishing his own team?”
“What do you mean his own team? Oh, I understand, you mean Lord Shen Mu has started selecting his core group, intending to form various departments just like the official employees of the Diesel Company.”
“Exactly, that’s it. Your reaction is really too slow, but we should also take action quickly and immediately pledge our loyalty to Lord Shen Mu.”
The Blue Star Humans outside all became excited.
Looking at Zhang Caidong and the others leaving, each of them breathed excitedly and rapidly.
Because everyone understood that this was definitely an opportunity, and they also realized that if they could seize this opportunity, they could enjoy the same welfare benefits and high status as those official employees they saw in the Diesel Company.
This was truly an opportunity.
However, at this moment, these senior managers who walked out of the conference room also exchanged a few words with each other before going their separate ways, as they all had their own areas of responsibility.
Although the various departments within Deherim had not yet been formally established, for them, having come from the Diesel Company, they understood some of the company’s departmental layouts, and so they spontaneously formed various departments.
This also made it easier to manage the vast number of Blue Star Humans.
After all, the number of Blue Star Humans in Deherim now is at least 25,000, and at most it can even reach around 32,000 to 35,000. Especially with the demise of the Diesel Company, more and more Blue Star Humans have begun to join the Deherim ranks.
And everyone can see that Deherim’s development speed is truly too fast now, and it is vibrant and full of opportunities. If they are willing to showcase their talents, they will definitely be able to get a piece of the pie.
After all, the demise of one force and the birth of another always bring a large number of opportunities.
Moreover, clear-sighted people can already see that after Zhang Caidong and the others completed their Spiritual Realm transformation and were also granted Lingjie Human Race as Followers, Deherim also began to solidify its class structure.
If they didn’t seize this opportunity to quickly climb up and get a piece of the pie, then once the class structure was established later, they would slowly become like the situation in the Diesel Company, where promotion would be very difficult.
No one was a fool, or rather, those who could survive the apocalypse until now all had their own ulterior motives, cunning mindsets, and clear understanding of the situation.
And now they were already determined in their hearts that they needed to act quickly.
“Brother Zhang Caidong, Brother Zhang Bo next to you wants to call you over for lunch.” While Zhang Caidong was still briefly communicating with this latest batch of 10 Spiritual Realm Commanders, who were the Ten-Man Commanders appointed by Shen Mu, and also comforting the 7 Blue Star Humans who had not been appointed.
A Blue Star Human next to him, who was Zhang Caidong’s confidant, quickly walked over and whispered to Zhang Caidong, explaining the situation.
“Alright, alright, since my brother Zhang Bo is calling me, then I must go.” Zhang Caidong did not shy away from his relationship with Zhang Bo. Hearing his confidant tell him that Zhang Bo wanted to have dinner with him, a smile appeared on his face.
He trusted Zhang Bo immensely, and now that he had been transformed and had 10 Swadian recruits as his Spiritual Realm Followers, he was even happier and wanted to share it with Zhang Bo.
At the same time, he looked at the 7 Blue Star Humans, gently stroked his chin, and nodded, saying, “The seven of you will be transformed by Lord Shen Mu next time, and I think it will be as early as tomorrow. After all, Lord Shen Mu has already said it, so you don’t need to be too frustrated or worried. By tomorrow, it will definitely be your turn, the seven of you.”
“Of course, since Lord Shen Mu has already said it, then we believe Lord Shen Mu.” The 7 Blue Star Humans all nodded, after all, they had also acted as inside informants and risked their lives together back then.
Moreover, Shen Mu really did say that their transformation would begin tomorrow, and today’s quota was already full.
So, didn’t that mean that among tomorrow’s quota of 10 people, there would definitely be the 7 of them?
Therefore, they were very confident.
However, at this moment, Zhang Caidong also glanced at Sun Zhiru, his tone carrying a hint of discussion: “According to Lord Shen Mu, 10 people can be transformed into Spiritual Realm Commanders every day, and they will also have Lingjie Human Race as their Followers.”
“Ah, Brother Zhang Caidong, you are the supervisor here. Whatever you say, I will listen to you.” Sun Zhiru immediately lowered his head humbly at this moment, not saying much, completely handing over the choice to Zhang Caidong.
“Oh, that’s good. But what I mean is, I want to choose Zhang Bo to go see Lord Shen Mu with me tomorrow.” Zhang Caidong paused in his tone at this moment and then directly said, “I only need to choose one person here. You just joined, so I think the remaining two spots should be given to you. You also need to have your own core team.”
…” As soon as these words were spoken, not only was Sun Zhiru stunned, but everyone else was also stunned. They all looked at Zhang Caidong, and a look of confusion appeared in each of their eyes.
This was the allegiance of the Lingjie Human Race and the inheritance of becoming a Spiritual Realm Commander.
Zhang Caidong was already busy trying to win over his own people, or rather, he could give this quota for winning over his own people to them, but he never expected him to casually give it to Sun Zhiru, who had just joined and was not even a Spiritual Realm Commander before, just an ordinary Blue Star Human.
They were quite puzzled.
This was equivalent to giving away the fat meat and cake that was already in his mouth to Sun Zhiru for nothing. They were quite unconvinced in their hearts.
“Brother Zhang Caidong, I think we should discuss this matter a bit more. After all, Brother Sun Zhiru has just joined, and we haven’t thoroughly understood the situation yet. Some matters still need long-term consideration.”
“That’s right, Brother Zhang Caidong, Brother Sun Zhiru is our brother after all. We understand that we can bring them in, but some matters still need to be carefully assessed.”
“Even if we talk about seniority, we should prioritize based on experience. Many of our brothers are eagerly waiting.”
Then two or three Blue Star Human Executives raised their objections at this moment, and others also showed some disagreement.
This included the 7 Blue Star Human Executives who had not completed their transformation, and also those Blue Star Human Executives who had already completed their transformation.
After all, they all had a life-and-death bond.
A bond formed from being inside informants together.
Moreover, they had also killed official employees of the Diesel Company together and extinguished the Orc Tribe of the Diesel Company together. They had long formed a vested interest group. Although each had their own small circle, in the larger group, they were essentially the same bunch of people.
Now, Sun Zhiru, in their eyes, was an outsider. How could they give such a precious quota to an outsider for nothing?
And before, they had never had any communication with Sun Zhiru. It could be said that Sun Zhiru himself was a stranger they did not know.
A stranger they had only known for two or three days.
As for Zhang Bo, they had no objections at all, because they had already known Zhang Bo before. In the Diesel Company, he was also a highly valued Prophecy-type Mage.
He was usually easy to talk to, and his attitude was quite amiable and approachable. He was definitely a good brother.
Most importantly, Zhang Caidong treated him like his own older brother. Of course, they also loved him for Zhang Caidong’s sake. They felt that Zhang Bo would respect their opinions in any matter and would not force anything upon them, just offering suggestions, which showed great respect for them.
And it should be known that when the Diesel Company was testing for lies at that time, Zhang Bo covered for them. If Zhang Bo had said they were lying at that time, then they probably wouldn’t have survived, and would have been immediately killed by those Pig-Headed People and swallowed as food.
This was also a life-and-death bond.
Therefore, they had no problem with Zhang Bo becoming a Spiritual Realm Commander and having Lingjie Human Race Followers.
Instead, they felt it was only right.
But for Sun Zhiru, this newcomer who directly became the deputy supervisor, placed above them, almost on equal footing with Zhang Caidong, this ordinary Blue Star Human, they were unconvinced.
“Everyone, I don’t want to say it a second time. Sun Zhiru is a trustworthy good brother personally designated by Lord Shen Mu to us, and he is also one of our upcoming executives, and part of the management.”
At this moment, Zhang Caidong looked at these Blue Star Humans who had been inside informants with him before, and some special emotions flickered in his eyes.
Before, he had mostly been casual acquaintances with them and wasn’t very familiar. It was only after they became inside informants together that they became close and became “their own people.”
And looking at them now, they were truly too united.
They actually united directly because of his suggestion and expressed their dissatisfaction with him. For Zhang Caidong, this was not a good sign.
And then looking at Sun Zhiru, who had no power or foundation whatsoever, and was completely designated by Lord Shen Mu as an executive.
He was perfect!
