Then let them show their loyalty!

Chapter 608: Promoted to the Late Sixth Stage! (Thanks to the leader of "Nanhe Yimeng"!)
Politics is the art of compromise.

Of course, it would be great if we could achieve a result that satisfies everyone.

Therefore, after discovering that they could indeed gain greater benefits by trading with Qiu Tu, several deputy speakers changed their minds.

Deputy Speaker Barron narrowed his emerald eyes and slowly said, "If our 'Lawful Faction' can really be re-elected, then I think a deal with Qiu Tu would be acceptable."

"After all, this will be a win-win-win deal."

"It's just that..." He paused, looked around at the people present, and reminded them, "We must not compromise on our core interests."

"Although this deal was reached between Sanctuary 3 and Qiu Tu, we were the only ones on Sanctuary 3 who paid the price. That was the god Zhu Wu."

"This will damage our strength in the short term, and we may not even be able to suppress other factions."

"During this period, once other factions grow up relying on the resources of the 6th and 7th shelters, we will be in a very passive position."

"When the next election comes, the other party will be the most powerful. Let's not talk about whether they will tear up the agreement and compete for the "ruling faction". Even if they abide by the agreement and recognize our re-election, by then, our voice in the shelter will be greatly weakened."

At this point, he said with a serious face, "So, the first 3th level Cataclysm in Sanctuary 7 must be from our "Lawful Faction"."

"After we get the first batch of resources from the 6th and 7th shelters, we must immediately increase our combat power."

Barron is a blond, blue-eyed man, a bit burly, with a strange accent, but he has a high status in the "Orderly Faction".

So, as soon as he spoke, the other vice-presidents all nodded.

At this time, another vice speaker, Wanyan Zuyu, also said, "Speaker Barron's reminder is very appropriate."

Wanyan Zuyu looks a bit rough, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looks like a rough man, as if he grew up on horseback.

He said, "In addition to improving our combat power and ensuring that our faction has a rank 7 Cataclysm, I think that when we negotiate with the various factions, we must also draft a document to give up the next election and have them sign it."

"After all, there are too many things to argue about with verbal agreements. Only written documents have legal effect."

"Even if other factions really develop and are ready to tear up the agreement, written documents will be more effective than verbal agreements in deterring them from doing anything."

"If things have come to this point and they still risk their lives to tear up the agreement, then with this written agreement, we will also stand up for justice and have a legitimate reason to demand compensation or fight back afterwards."

At this point, Wanyan Zuyu paused and continued,
"As for the method of getting them to sign, it is also very simple. Just negotiate with them on the grounds of profit distribution."

"Everyone is satisfied, then we can put pen to paper and sign."

"Besides, we are not afraid of their exorbitant demands. After all, as long as more than half of the senior officials agree, we can be re-elected."

"So, if we can deal with a few of the big factions and one-third of the smaller factions, it should be enough for us to be re-elected."

Hearing Wanyan Zuyu's words, Xing Su, the leader of the "Order Faction", also showed a satisfied smile on his face.

He continued, "My meaning is similar to that of Speaker Wanyan."

"This deal must be on paper in advance, not just verbally."

"And this deal with Qiu Tu may be the opportunity we, the Lawful Faction, have been waiting for for decades!"

"I intend to use this opportunity to integrate the various factions of Sanctuary 3. Those who lean towards us and cooperate with us in advance will have their interests guaranteed first."

"As for those who are in competition with us and want to control us or ask for exorbitant prices, we can also take this opportunity to suppress them."

At this point, Xing Su knocked on the table and said firmly, "This is the biggest opportunity for us, the Lawful Faction, in the past ten years. We must unite as one and win this gamble!"

Hearing Xing Su's words, the other vice-chairmen nodded slightly, with flames burning in their eyes.

In this way, several deputy speakers worked together to finalize all the details of this multi-party transaction.

All that remains is to negotiate with those dozens of factions separately.

But now the "Orderly Faction" is the "ruling faction", holding great power and the right to distribute benefits. What they have to do is a big thing that can help Sanctuary 3 move to a higher level. I believe that no faction will be so blind as to oppose it.

As for thinking that this "exchanging trump cards" plan is too radical?
Don't forget who the people in Shelter 3 are?

They are all supporters of "technological explosiveness". They are a group of absolute lunatics.

In Qiu Tu, plans that are considered "radical" by others may still be considered a bit conservative in the eyes of conservatives in Shelter 3.

Not to mention the radicals in Shelter 3.
Soon, after this important meeting, the senior members of the "Order Faction" went out in groups according to their assigned tasks, and went to negotiate with the leaders of various factions, preparing to start the gamble of the century with Qiu Tu.
And at the same time.

When the major factions in the 3rd Sanctuary began to hold urgent consultations, Qiu Tu and Lariluo also came to the "Red Mountain Area" and prepared to start formally refining the other 8 Infinite Heart Sea areas under their control.

The reason why the "Red Mountain Area" is named "Red Mountain" is obviously because the hills here are made of red soil. From a distance, it looks like being in a sea of ​​blood.

Because red soil is composed of clay minerals, its texture is relatively sticky and heavy. When you step on it, you may even feel your feet sinking slightly.

And because the red soil has low fertility, the entire "red soil area" is almost barren and looks desolate.

And in such an area, Qiu Tu, following Lajiro's instructions, planted four "Dragon Vein Seeds" along four directions.

After doing all this, Qiu Tu looked at Lariluo beside him, and asked curiously, "Is this all right?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Lariluo nodded slightly, and then said, "Yes. Next, we just need to stimulate the "Dragon Vein Seed" and we can plant the "Dragon Vein". "

"After that, by extending the 'Dragon Vein', you can connect all the unrefined areas and eventually connect them into one piece. This will help you refine very quickly and save a lot of effort."

At this point, she thought for a moment and continued, "In addition, with your current strength at the middle stage of the sixth stage, you should be able to refine at least six areas."

"With the bonus from these areas, your strength can reach the late stage of level 6. You are probably only half a step away from the peak of level 6."

"I heard from my sister that you collected the fragments of the Nine-Headed Lion's "personality" and opened the way to the 7th level."

"In this case, once your Cataclysm Path reaches the peak of the 6th level, and you refine 9 more areas, you should be able to officially advance to the th level."

I have to say that although Lajiro is a little funny and evil sometimes, she is still very reliable when it comes to doing things. She has considered all aspects very clearly for Qiu Tu.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but patted Lazhiluo on the shoulder with a smile and praised, "Your Highness, you really saved me a lot of time and energy this time. It was a great help to me."

"So, if you want anything or need me to do anything, just let me know. I will try my best to satisfy you."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Lazhiluo's scarlet eyes turned slightly. She laughed and said, "Actually, I don't want anything, and there's nothing I need you to do."

"But if you really want to thank me, then you can take my sister down."

Qiu Tu:? ?
Oh my goodness, have you had enough of calling dad and want to call brother-in-law?
And is this definitely a condition, not a reward?
But this was originally Qiu Tu’s next goal.

So, after hearing what Lazhiluo said, Qiu Tu did not refuse. He nodded and agreed, "Okay. I promise you."

Seeing that Qiu Tu agreed, Lazhiluo's face showed obvious excitement.

She stretched out her arm, patted Qiu Tu's shoulder, and said, "Qiu Tu, I will never be able to ride on my sister's head in this life."

"So, I can only put all my hopes on you. You must ride it more often."

Before Qiu Tu could start drawing, Lazhiluo said, "Also, even if you reach the seventh level, you should not take it lightly."

"Level 7 is indeed very strong. But not as strong as you think."

Lajiro recalled and said, "According to my sister, a level 7 person is still a big shot in the "peripheral area", but in the "core area", he is no different from a turtle in the river."

"If you throw a brick down, you can knock over several of them."

Qiu Tu:
To be honest, if Qiu Tu hadn't known how powerful the seventh level was and hadn't personally experienced how the major shelters treated the seventh level differently, he would probably have really believed it.

In his opinion, even if the seventh level cannot dominate the "core area", it can definitely be considered as a middle to high level.

After all, even in the "core area", apart from the top masters of level 8 and the four great gods, level must be the strongest.

But when he thought that it was Zhao Ji who said this, Qiu Tu felt extremely understood.

After all, the Queen is the Queen. There are only a few who can catch her eye.
Therefore, according to Zhao Ji's standards, the seventh level is also a piece of trash, which is reasonable.

However, what Lajiro said was not wrong, for Qiu Tu to conquer Zhao Ji, the strength of level seven was not enough.

Zhao Ji was a god in her previous life, and her talent in this life is also astonishingly terrifying.

If you want to take her down, a 7th level god is definitely not enough. You need to be at least an 8th level, or even a 9th level god!

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu felt full of energy for a moment.

After all, what does a man want in life? Isn't it just for money?
Throughout the ages, how many men have risked their lives for the love of their beloved, and how many have set fire to war and caused chaos in the country.

People try so hard to squeeze into the upper class, just to be able to do dirty things without restraint.

So, what's wrong with practicing hard just to sleep with a woman?

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu stopped chatting and directly cut his finger with a dagger, dripping blood onto the "Dragon Vein Seed", officially activating the "Dragon Vein Seed" and began to refine the areas under his control! With the activation of the "Dragon Vein Seed", the seeds visible to the naked eye began to take root and sprout.

This disaster material is indeed valuable. As the seeds take root and sprout, golden veins begin to spread rapidly towards the distance along the "red soil hills" like nimble little snakes.

As the "little golden snake" began to spread, the red soil hills seemed to be given life wherever it went, and began to twist and deform.

Pieces of metallic scales began to emerge above the red dragon vein, connecting and overlapping each other, gradually forming a huge dragon vein lying on the ground!
At the same time, the catastrophic force in the area was controlled by the dragon veins and gushed directly towards the sky!

At that moment, the entire "red soil area" changed color and the wind howled.

The force of catastrophe turned into a golden tornado, rising straight up into the sky!
At the center of the tornado, Qiu Tu, who was sitting at the intersection of the dragon veins, also began to frantically merge the area he controlled.
Just like that, three or five days passed in a flash.

There are still 29 days left before the time Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji agreed upon.

Shelter 7, Central. The villa where Huang Shangzong lives.

Early in the morning, Huang Shangzong was wearing a white floral apron and cooking.

He is 1.95 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist. The white floral apron looks both weird and ridiculous on him.

However, he did not care about it and cooked the meal carefully.

If a picture of him was taken at this moment and shown to his subordinates, no one would dare to believe that he was the "God of Killing" Huang Shangzong who was feared by the enemies.

And all this is for his daughter Cher.

As the apple of his eye, Xue'er is the apple of Huang Shangzong's eye. For example, when he and Qiu Tu had a grudge, it was because Xue'er admired Jia Shu, but Jia Shu died because of Qiu Tu.
"Dad! Dad! I have good news for you! I'm going to be the deputy speaker!"

With the lark-like voice, Xue'er ran down from the upstairs of the villa.

Running to Huang Shangzong, Xue'er's little face flushed, and she looked at Huang Shangzong with her big watery eyes full of excitement.

Huang Shangzong, who was cooking, glanced at her from the side, then stretched out his palm-leaf fan-sized hand to touch Xue'er's forehead and said,

"You don't have a fever. If you're still sleepy, go back to sleep. Don't talk nonsense in broad daylight."

Hearing Huang Shangzong's words, Xue'er stamped her feet in anger, and then said angrily, "Dad~! I didn't lie to you! I really want to be the deputy speaker!"

Huang Shangzong added some soy sauce to the pot and said nonchalantly, "If you don't want to sleep, go do some yoga. Don't make trouble for me in the kitchen."

"You wanted to eat the fried eggs I made myself. If they are burnt, I will not be responsible."

Huang Shangzong's tone sounded like a complaint, but if you listened carefully you could hear the doting in his words.
"Dad!" Xue'er was so angry that her face turned red. "I'm not kidding! This is the order Qiu Tu just gave!"

"Not only me, but Yanyan and Ai Li were also promoted out of turn. Ai Li became the deputy speaker, and Yanyan became the speaker directly!"

Seeing that his daughter kept talking, Huang Shangzong finally felt that something was wrong.

He waved towards the distance, and immediately several maids came running over.

Huang Shangzong took off his apron and threw it to the maids, asking them to continue frying eggs. He then took Xue'er to the living room and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? What kind of exceptional promotion?"

Seeing that her father was finally serious, Xueer excitedly repeated the notice she had just received.

"Dad, I just received a call from the Ministry of the Interior. They said that Princess Xi had a very good impression of me, Yanyan, and Ai Li because of her last visit to Dongye Province."

"So, we are going to transfer our three files from Shelter 8 to Shelter 7. Then we will go directly to her newly established department, the Privy Council."

"And they are willing to make an exception and promote our ranks. Yanyan is at the level of state speaker, and Ai Li and I are at the level of deputy speaker."

Even though he was no longer sensitive to politics, Huang Shangzong still felt something was wrong when he heard his daughter's words.

"Ministry of the Interior?" Huang Shangzong frowned and repeated the name of the department, then asked, "Is it the government affairs processing department of Qiu Tu?"

Xue'er nodded, then said, "Yes. Similar to the attendant room and the Privy Council."

Huang Shangzong, "So, this is something Qiu Tu approved of?"

Xue'er nodded slightly again, "I heard from the person who notified me that it was Qiu Tu who nodded."

Huang Shangzong keenly noticed the key information, "Qiu Tu is back?"

He said, "I remember Qiu Tu was in seclusion for a few days a few days ago, right?"

Xue Er obviously hesitated for a moment this time, and then said, "It seems...right?"

"Otherwise, the Ministry of the Interior wouldn't dare to give orders privately. That's Qiu Tu's direct department."

Upon hearing this, Huang Shangzong nodded slightly, indicating that it was "reasonable".

But even so, his frown never relaxed.
Obviously, this unusual transfer still made him smell something wrong.

"Qiu Tu, what on earth are you doing?"

"This world should be a place where young people settle down and old people venture out."

"Young people like us who love to sleep should be a little lazy. Old people like us sleep less and have more time, so it's the right age to make breakthroughs."

"So if we don't push them, how will they know how much more energy they can still exert?"

At the same time, Qiu Tu, who successfully refined 6 areas and returned to the 7th Shelter, was chatting with Yanyan.

"Your father is my old boss. I know exactly how capable he is."

"Let him handle the mess at Shelter 6. I trust him."

"As for the 7th Sanctuary, since it is adjacent to the Four States base camp, I also need a heavyweight expert with sufficient military capabilities to take charge."

"Obviously, Huang Shangzong is very suitable."

"Promote Xue'er as an exception and send her to the Privy Council. This way, Huang Shangzong will not be able to stay out of it."

"No matter what happens, he, as a father, must protect his daughter."

"And he has no military power, so he can't surrender to the enemy. So he can only help the four states to suppress the rebellion and rescue his daughter."

At this point, Qiu Tu looked down at Yanyan who was kneeling naked in front of him, then reached out and grabbed her chin, saying, "Of course. My other insurance is you."

"You are the smartest of all my confidants."

"I hope you can keep an eye on Princess Xi and prevent her from going crazy."

"Even if she goes crazy, she must not target the four states."

Hearing Qiu Tu's order, Yanyan closed her eyes flatteringly, hummed twice in enjoyment, and then said obediently, "Yes, Master. I promise to complete the task."

After saying that, Yanyan finally opened her eyes and asked curiously, "But, Master, what are you planning and guarding against?"

"Are you preparing to leave the Northwest Territories?"

After hearing Yanyan's words, Qiu Tu took a look at Yanyan's loyalty level, which was "86".
Then, he shook his head first, then nodded and said bluntly, "Soon. But not now."

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but recall what had happened in the past few days.

"Dragon Vein Seed" is indeed a catastrophic treasure that is extremely valuable but also has extremely powerful effects.

After the "dragon vein" was planted that day, the entire "Hongshan area" seemed to be "alive", and dragon veins began to take root in the "Hongshan area" like main blood vessels.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon vein's "main blood vessel" began to branch, forming dense "capillaries" that penetrated into all areas.

It was this powerful penetration and control effect that allowed Qiu Tu to refine the "Red Mountain Area" in just over half a day.

With the results of the first area, Qiu Tu finally felt more at ease about the "Dragon Vein Seed".

So, he started to do the same thing and began to refine other areas.

One area takes half a day, two areas take about a day and a half, and six areas take about 5 days.

In this way, during these five days, except for occasional rest, he spent almost all time in the refining area and on the way to the refining area.

Until this morning, Qiu Tu finally succeeded in refining all six areas. The superposition of so many areas also successfully allowed Qiu Tu's strength to reach the late stage of the sixth level. He was only a step away from the peak of the sixth level.
As long as Qiu Tu's catastrophe path breaks through again, he can directly advance to the peak of the sixth level.

At that time, he only needs to follow the steps to refine the 11 areas that have already been prepared, and he will be successfully promoted to the seventh level!
Therefore, Qiu Tu's main purpose of coming back this time was to break through his catastrophe path! That is, the location of Shelter No. 1!

It was a coincidence that not long after Qiu Tu came back, Shen Yuzhou sent him an invitation to have dinner together.

According to him, Shelter 3 has decided to support Qiu Tu as Shelter 7 No. 1, and has also agreed to his deal.
