97: Chapter 97 Spiritual Transformation, Third Elder!

Su Fan thought for a moment longer and continued, "My second suggestion is to integrate all platforms across the country, break down departmental barriers, and achieve true data interconnectivity!"

"Of course, different departments will have different permission allocations."

"By doing this, it will be much simpler for the public to get things done, avoiding disgusting situations like having to issue various certificates!" Su Fan complained slightly.

"Good! I agree to this as well. The platform will be called the Xia Country Citizen System. In this system, every matter, big or small, from birth to death, can be handled!" The Great Elder praised loudly, then continued.

"The Citizen System will be left to your Super God Group to develop; likewise, get it done as quickly as possible."

"Alright, I'll have it ready very soon!" Su Fan said with a smile.

"Since you've offered these two good suggestions, let me offer one to you as well," the Great Elder said with a smile.

"Please, go ahead!" Su Fan said seriously.

"Look further ahead. In fact, with your knowledge, you can shine anywhere. Right now, you are being confined by the Super God Group—or rather, by your own mindset!" the Great Elder said meaningfully.

"Right now, you have the strength, the talent, and the technology, but you lack the political tact and the boldness!"

"I know your hesitation, but there's no need for it."

"Either found a nation on Mars, abandon Blue Star, and build the utopia of your imagination, or take the initiative to enter the game and change Blue Star and the Xia Country."

"But there is one thing I must say: even if you found a nation on Mars, you will still gradually encounter the same situations the Xia Country faces now."

"I admit your technological talent is incredible; I won't mince words here."

"But when it comes to understanding human nature, I still know a bit more than you do."

"History is a cycle. Any dynasty will inevitably have its rise and fall, just like the Five Signs of Decay."

"But now, your appearance is an opportunity for the Xia Country. I feel there's no need for you to start from scratch elsewhere. How about I give my position as Great Elder to you!" the Great Elder said with a beaming smile.

Su Fan was startled. That position wasn't easy to sit in, and he hurriedly shook his head.

The Great Elder laughed. "I am merely the head of a certain territory on a single planet. You aren't even willing to take this position? If you don't even have this much boldness, how are you going to lead your followers to conquer the universe!"

Hearing this, Su Fan was struck with a sudden realization.

Recalling his actions since obtaining the super god black technology system, every step revealed a certain level of limitation.

While it was normal to be cautious when weak, it was indeed improper to still be timid now that he had strength.

If the ambitious figures of history had this kind of power, they would have definitely changed the dynasty directly!

Su Fan gave a bitter smile. "Great Elder, you really have a keen eye for people. I do indeed lack boldness; I admit that."

"Join the Xia Country's official ranks! Let us join hands and lead the Xia Country to dominate the universe together!" The Great Elder extended his right hand toward Su Fan, looking at him expectantly.

Su Fan suddenly gave a knowing smile.

He was originally just a poor commoner who happened to obtain a 'golden finger' and grew strong amidst fear and trepidation.

In truth, his handling of matters wasn't meticulous, and many things wouldn't hold up under scrutiny.

If it weren't for the fact that he always had enough value, and if it weren't for a certain person always supporting him, he would have been sliced up for study long ago.

Now, facing the olive branch extended by the country, should he agree?

Su Fan's gaze gradually became firm as he solemnly reached out and shook hands with the Great Elder!

The Great Elder smiled and said emotionally, "For truly great men, look to this age alone. If thugs and beggars can hold this position, why can't you, Su Fan!"

Su Fan was all smiles on the surface, but inside he was cursing in his heart.

Heh, if I really wanted to be emperor, I would have done it long ago!

"Su Fan, what position do you want? I'll arrange it for you immediately!" the Great Elder said with a smile.

"How does the Great Elder plan to arrange things for me?" Su Fan also asked with a smile.

"You didn't want the position of Great Elder, so from now on, you'll be the Second Elder!"

"If I become the Second Elder, what happens to the current one?" Su Fan rolled his eyes; he was also very familiar with the Second Elder. "How about this: I'll be the Third Elder. The Second Elder's position is too busy, tied up with national affairs of all sizes."

"According to the rules, once you enter the establishment, you cannot have a company under your name. You must transfer the company to someone else's name," the Great Elder reminded him.

"Transfer it to Zhou Xiaoxiao then!" Su Fan said without hesitation.

"It was just a company; with the super god black technology system, he could build whatever kind of company he wanted."

"Oho—" the Great Elder teased, "When do you two plan to get married?"

"Ahem, we'll see about that. I have a bit of a marriage phobia," Su Fan said, feeling a bit awkward.

"What marriage phobia! Zhou Xiaoxiao likes you and has been with you since you were struggling. You'd better not let her down!" the Great Elder's tone turned slightly stern.

"Moreover, the reason your early development went so smoothly was because Zhou Xiaoxiao begged her own grandfather to protect you! You have the Red Queen, so you should know this!"

"I know." Su Fan knew very well in his heart that Zhou Xiaoxiao's grandfather was the Sixth Elder of the Xia Country's Council of Elders. If he hadn't been supporting him from behind in the early stages, the consequences for a commoner...

"Since you know, then hurry up and get married. You're almost thirty!"

"If you're not satisfied, I can marry my granddaughter to you too." The Great Elder finally revealed his true intentions.

Sweat broke out on Su Fan's forehead. He was also familiar with the Great Elder's granddaughter; she was his defeated opponent who often challenged him, only to be utterly crushed every time.

She was the runner-up of the first batch of Mecha Pilots—Xia Feifei!

"No need, no need!" Su Fan hurriedly refused. The scene of two beautiful wives together... it was too stimulating; his heart couldn't take it.

"It's good to be young!" the Great Elder sighed, then remembered he still had over a hundred years to live and wiped away his emotional expression.

Su Fan curled his lip. "Don't say it's good to be young. Now that the lifespan of Xia Country people is so long, once the Level 2 Gene Optimization Fluid is developed and produced, there won't be any more elderly people."

"In the future, everyone will be young!"

"True. If everyone is young in the future, how many years can the Level 2 Gene Optimization Fluid extend human lifespan to?" the Great Elder asked expectantly.

"I'm not telling you! Haha!" Su Fan gave a mischievous smile.

"You—"

"Sigh, forget it!" The Great Elder smiled and shook his head, then continued, "How about the appointment ceremony is held tomorrow at 10 AM?"

"Can do!" Su Fan nodded.

"From now on, you will be primarily responsible for the Xia Country's work in technology and space exploration. The specifics will depend on your own wishes," the Great Elder added.

Su Fan nodded. The position of Third Elder of the Xia Country was quite good; it held power without being as busy as the Great Elder or the Second Elder.

He also didn't have to spend all day thinking about how to handle his relationship with the Xia Country's officials, because now he represented the Xia Country's officials!

"Just like that, I'm on the official establishment?!" Su Fan said with a sigh of emotion.
