108: Upgrading to a 9-star hunter? I refuse

Bang!

"What! You want to openly support and allow nationwide fishing? No! I don't agree! Doing this is too dangerous! What if Great Xia becomes the next Asian African Latin American Island? Who among you here can bear the consequences!"

The Old Man slammed the table in anger and stood up.

"Old Wu, the Asian African Latin American Island was indeed a heavy lesson, but you've also seen the improvement brought by skills. Over a hundred thousand Zombies, he dealt with all of them in less than five minutes, and during that time, he even seized our control over nuclear weapons."

"Fishing is indeed a gamble, but it is the fastest shortcut to improve Great Xia's overall strength, bar none!"

"Afterward, we only need to expand in major cities, enhance the Star Alliance's overall influence and personnel deployment, and continuously recruit outstanding talents who acquire skills."

"Once the system of the Star Alliance and professional Hunters is fully established, even if terrifying strange beasts, a hundred thousand, or a million Zombies are fished out, we can immediately dispatch Hunters to suppress them and minimize losses."

"Continuing to blindly pursue stability and maintain an ambiguous attitude like this cannot change the fact that strange beasts and Zombies are increasing!"

The Man's words were resonant, attempting to persuade Wu Zhongtian, the core figure of the conservative faction, with facts.

As long as he is persuaded, all problems will be easily solved.

"In that case, why don't you first consider how to persuade that person to join the Star Alliance?" Wu Zhongtian changed the subject.

"Regarding this issue, Old Wu, please rest assured, we are already finding ways to contact him."

"However, based on the information I've gathered, he most likely won't agree to join forces with us. He has a full two hundred thousand Undead under his command, perhaps even more, and countless powerful monster Undead."

"Neither you nor I can be sure if, in the future, when the number of summoned Undead increases to millions, tens of millions, or even over a hundred million, he won't want to seize decision-making power and replace people like us."

"Only by building up the Star Alliance will we be qualified to sit at the negotiating table. Therefore, I hope Old Wu, you can carefully weigh the pros and cons."

"Delaying is not the attitude one should have when solving problems." The Man finished everything he wanted to say in one breath.

As for whether the other party could listen, he could only pray silently.

If that doesn't work, he can only hope that the increasingly severe domestic situation will allow his side to gain as much say as possible.

A little progress is always better than regression.

"..." Wu Zhongtian fell silent.

He looked at the others who stood on his side.

They all had an attitude of, you make the decision, I will definitely stand by you.

Exhaling through his nostrils, he sighed.

Wu Zhongtian got up and left.

"Old Wu..."

Before the Man could finish speaking, he saw Wu Zhongtian wave his hand and say, "I'm old, it's time to rest. Leave these matters for you young people to decide yourselves. If you fail, don't expect an old retired man like me to clean up your mess."

"Thank you, Old Wu! We definitely won't disappoint you!" The Man and his colleagues all showed expressions of relief.

Now, they finally had no worries and were determined to fully develop the Star Alliance!

...

Soon, Chen Ming saw related reports on the news.

"Have they finally made up their minds!" The speed was a bit faster than Chen Ming had imagined.

In addition, they also formulated a plan to open Star Alliance branches in over seven hundred cities, large and small, within three months, widely issue hero invitations, and build a Hunter combat system.

Gradually replacing the traditional Special Ops Soldiers system.

The Special Ops Soldiers will not be completely abolished, because some Zombie monsters can still be killed with thermal weapons.

Those who are unlucky and fail to fish for powerful skills can prioritize joining the Special Ops Soldiers to cultivate their strength.

After fishing for skills, they can seamlessly transition and continue participating in missions to suppress Zombie monsters.

The role the Star Alliance plays in this is that of a resource and information provider.

For this purpose, they even deliberately revealed their second trump card, besides Old General Xu Zhenshan.

"An SS-grade Skill Forging Master? Using the scales, fur, claws, and teeth of monsters to create weapons and armor that make it easier to slaughter them, that's a good professional skill." Chen Ming gave his evaluation.

He believed that with weapons specifically for hunting Zombie monsters, a stable food source, and clear reward and punishment rules, the number of people willing to join the Star Alliance and become members of the Hunter Guild would only increase.

Primarily, there is no other choice.

Walking mode, fighting alone is not a long-term solution after all.

After all, not everyone can be like Chen Ming, forming an army by himself and summoning hundreds of thousands of Undead.

Boom boom boom!

Suddenly, Chen Ming keenly sensed a series of rotor roaring sounds similar to a helicopter coming from outside.

Chen Ming knew very well that the fact he possessed the Undead summoning skill had already been exposed at the official level.

But it doesn't matter, now, he doesn't need to hide and develop discreetly anymore.

His bargaining chips are already sufficient.

He completely believed in the intelligence of those people and that they wouldn't do something foolish like becoming his enemy.

After walking out of the villa, he discovered that what had arrived was a huge drone, far exceeding its counterparts.

It hovered in front of Chen Ming, and then a soft screen descended.

The screen lit up, and a person was sitting behind a desk, with a bookshelf filled with various books in the background.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, can you hear me?" The Man was the first to speak, asking.

"I can hear you." Chen Ming nodded in affirmation.

At first, he thought these people would come directly to the shelter by helicopter, trying to persuade him to join the Star Alliance.

Now it seems they fear him far more than he imagined and are quite protective of their lives.

"That's good. First, let me introduce myself. My name is Zhao Qian, and I am one of the main initiators of the Star Alliance. I specifically came to see you today to formally invite you to join the Star Alliance and become a professional Hunter."

The Man quickly finished his introduction and stated his purpose, fearing that Chen Ming would lose patience.

"What are the benefits for me to join the Star Alliance and become a Hunter?" Chen Ming asked.

"With your strength and historical contributions, you can be directly promoted to Nine-Star Hunter and enjoy the highest level of treatment. We will provide you with all the assistance the Star Alliance can offer, without reservation!" Zhao Qian made a promise.

"Not interested, you should find someone else." Chen Ming refused.

These conditions couldn't persuade him.

To prevent Zhao Qian from continuing to pester him, Chen Ming specifically added, "However, if you encounter powerful fierce beasts that you cannot deal with, you can notify me at any time, and I am willing to step in and kill them free of charge."

The so-called free of charge means not asking for any reward other than the kill chest and extracting Undead.

Although he did not plan to join the Star Alliance and be driven by others, Chen Ming believed that with the resilience and faith of the Great Xia people, the Star Alliance would sooner or later become the world's top Hunter Guild.

Building a good relationship with them in the early stages was not harmful to Chen Ming.

Letting them owe him a few favors would allow him to naturally approach them for help when needed in the future.

The main focus is mutual benefit.

Even if they can't become friends, there's no need to be enemies.
