Welcome to Xiuzhen Academy

Uptown.

Federal Government Building, Conference Hall.

"Why should we open up the authority of the Northern Continent?" The woman in uniform had her hair tied up meticulously and was wearing a white uniform of the Finance Department. "As early as 940 years ago..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by another man wearing the uniform of the ruling ministry: "There is obviously something wrong with the financial department's report for this quarter. Shouldn't you deal with your own problems first?"

"The research and development funds for last quarter were insufficient, so this quarter the scientific research department hopes..." The man wearing glasses pushed up his glasses and joined the discussion, but his voice was obviously not as loud as the others, and was soon overshadowed by the fierce debate. .

The Minister of Military Affairs slapped the table: "What are you arguing about over funding? What we are discussing now is the issue of authority over the Northern Continent. Who gave you the right to privately open up the authority over the Northern Continent? Have you forgotten how many people we lost in the war? That's not possible at all. It’s an ominous place, and there will definitely be big problems if the permissions are opened this time!”

"Well, there is no need to be so irritable." The secretary-general, who is third in the ruling department, smoothed things over. "There are all problems. Let's solve them one by one now. Quarrel cannot solve it..."

"Shut up! Your ruling ministry can do nothing. What problems can you solve? Have you read the problems reported by the Ministry of Information? What do you two departments do if you can't even handle public opinion?"

"No, what does this have to do with our Information Department? If you are referring to the recent affairs of the cultivators, it is an order issued by the above, asking us not to interfere."

There were constant arguments in the huge conference hall. The heads of the top federal departments could not look serious at all at this moment, and all of them were blushing.

"Stop arguing!" The Finance Minister stood up angrily and threw a stack of reports on the table: "If you have any objections to the Finance Department, take a look at each quarter's reports. What nonsense are you reporting! "

"Yes, yes, stop arguing."

"Everyone, please stop staring at the financial department's report. Such a big thing happened in the Supervision Department and it hasn't been solved yet." The Secretary-General of the Executive Department said and looked at the only empty seat in the conference hall with his eyes. "The Action Department is going to negotiate with us." Has the Inspection Department been merged?”

In the conference hall, the first seat of the Inspectorate Department was empty, and sitting in the first seat was a man with black hair and green eyes wearing a black uniform of the Operations Department.

"Third Minister, I wonder if your behavior was authorized by the chairman?" the secretary-general asked.

Third Rin watched their quarrel and did not show any unnecessary expression even though they drew the flames of war to him.

The Supervision Department and Operations Department have never dealt with them. If they don't get an order, the people below will be the first to refuse.

As soon as this question came up, the dispute stopped briefly.

Either bluntly or implicitly, their eyes fell on this young man - the Third Lin, who had climbed from an unknown pawn to this position in just nine years.

The third family, which was originally one of the chaebol groups, made a major decision-making mistake and was divided up by other families who were eyeing it in less than a year.

The once lush trees that covered the sky withered and disintegrated in an instant.

The birth of a family may take thousands of years of accumulation, but its collapse often only needs to be the target of public criticism.

As for him, the Third Rin, as an orphan left behind, he started working under the former head of the Supervision Department. Later, with the deliberate support of the other party, he entered the Operations Department and took the position of Deputy Head.

Caught in an unflattering position, the Operations Department thought he was a traitor, and the Supervision Department secretly hated him for being able to pick up the pie that fell from the sky.

No one cares about the high-risk missions he has completed countless times, just like no one will look at him with admiration because of these bloody medals.

However, now, he not only replaced the position of the Operations Director, but also obtained the management approval from the Supervision Department after the last time the Operations Supervision Director was shot and failed to save him.

He is now equivalent to one person holding the power of two departments. As a result, the federal departments that originally checked and balanced each other have tilted their power.

"Without the chairman's approval, do you think it would have been so smooth for me to take over the Supervision Department?" Third Lin asked.

The atmosphere was dead silent for a few seconds.

"Haha." The ruling department jumped out and said, "Two official duties must make it difficult for people to escape. I think it is necessary to hold another election within the inspection department." Before others want to echo his words -

"No need." Third Lin said, his dark green eyes made him look like a hunting wolf. He no longer concealed his ambition at this moment, "Rather than choose another loser, it is better to hand over the power to Capable man."

The words contained a gun and a stick, and seemed to have something else in mind.

The face of the proposer changed.

Third Lin pushed the documents on the desktop forward with his fingers: "The ruling ministry should explain carefully why this official document opening up the Northern Continent's authority was approved."

"Yes!" The Minister of Military Affairs's expression became even more angry. "Do you know how much manpower and material resources it costs just to maintain the ban on the Northern Continent?"

"This...this official document was issued by the Presbytery."

"Even if it is issued by the Elders Council, such a major event should be decided by vote!"

"Why did you approve it without saying anything?"

There was another quarrel.

"In this case? Why not vote again? If more than half of the people reject it, the Northern Continent will be banned again."

A last resort proposal.

But there is no other way.

Provisional voting——

Four votes in favor: Ministry of Scientific Research, Ministry of Administration, Ministry of Information, and Ministry of Education.

Five votes against: the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Operations, the Ministry of Inspection, and the Ministry of Justice.

It has been a long-standing rule that the House of Representatives and the Senate do not participate in voting.

"This is unfair! He manages two departments by himself, so why should he count two votes?" The Supervision Department had always stood on the same interest field as the ruling ministry, but now it was on the opposite side of the ruling ministry. The ruling minister asked The objections are justified.

"Stop talking nonsense, that's the number of votes!" The Minister of Military Affairs' opposition to the opening of authority caused him to temporarily shelve the third lin's power increase.

"In this case, let's close the authority of the Northern Continent."

"What to do with the people inside? I don't know why some weirdos were allowed in when the authority was opened this time. Hey, it's related to cultivators. Why can't the Elders give a specific answer to this day?"

"Don't say so much. Since the Northern Continent is going to be banned again, let them leave within a week. Let's leave the second ban to the Operations Department and the Military Department."

"..."

At the same time, in the Northland, which is far away from the Federation and still sweltering with snow and wind, 9,000 candidates are spread across this continent.

The number of candidates is decreasing, and there will always be people who die in the process of being involved in danger.

And this is only the first day of the exam. The road to cultivation is never as full of adventures as the legend says.

The beautiful scenery is short-lived, and danger and death are the main themes.
