Chapter 1136 - 322: The First Venerable-Level Spoils (Part 3)
Fang Ze had no idea how much time had passed when he awoke from his slumber, only to find himself back in the Real World.
After returning to the Real World, Fang Ze picked up his phone from the side and checked it.
’It’s actually taken seven days... longer than I expected.’
Thinking this, Fang Ze got up and prepared to open the door to call for Black Bull, intending to inquire about the events of the past few days.
However, before he had even gotten out of bed, he heard chaotic footsteps and loud commotion outside the door. Judging by the sound, there were quite a few people, but it seemed they were being blocked by Black Bull, which led to some verbal disputes between the two sides.
With this in mind, Fang Ze decided against calling Black Bull. He walked directly to the bedroom door, and with a "swoosh," he flung it open.
As the bedroom door opened, more than twenty men, dressed in various outfits, came into Fang Ze’s view, all engaged in conversation with Black Bull.
Fang Ze was very familiar with those people. They were all Council Members, department heads of the Eastern Administrative Region, and Chairpersons and military officers from various states.
Perhaps because these people’s attention was focused on the bedroom door, they immediately saw Fang Ze the moment he opened it.
The crowd instantly fell silent.
Seeing this scene, Fang Ze was puzzled, wondering what these people were up to.
At crucial moments, it was still his own man, Black Bull, who was reliable.
Upon seeing Fang Ze awake, Black Bull quickly ran over to him and, lowering his head, explained in a buzzing voice, "Young Master. You slept for a total of seven days. During this time, besides Black Shark, the head of the Special Service Department, looking for you, no one else sought you out."
"But, just two hours ago, a golden light shot up from your bedroom, and the Absolute Pinnacle aura shook the entire Eastern Administrative Region, resulting in all these guys coming here."
Saying that, Black Bull glanced at those people, refraining from speaking further: he believed that his Young Master’s shrewdness would surely understand what these guys were up to.
Having listened to Black Bull’s explanation, Fang Ze scanned all the people present.
As the Acting Chairperson of the Eastern Administrative Region, Fang Ze held detailed information on all the region’s high-ranking officials and their apparent levels. So with just one look, he could tell that all the people present were at the Ascension level.
Combining Black Bull’s earlier description with his own thoughts, Fang Ze roughly guessed why these high-level officials had come: simply put, they firstly wanted to confirm whether he had really ascended to the Absolute Pinnacle level, and secondly, they wanted to seize the opportunity to discover how he had ascended so quickly.
Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn’t help but recall the difficulty detailed in the documents he had read a few days ago regarding the Human Race’s Ascension to Absolute Pinnacle:
Since the Federation had reclaimed all propaganda resources, there had been a certain increase in the number of people ascending from the Ascension level to the Absolute Pinnacle level. But... there were too many people at the Ascension level. Coupled with years of peace and the continuous emergence of new talents.
This led to more and more people getting stuck at the Ascension level, and the contributions and position requirements for ascending to the Absolute Pinnacle level becoming higher and higher.
This has also led to an increasing number of Ascension-level experts becoming truly disheartened, almost giving up hope of advancing to the Absolute Pinnacle level.
Thinking of this, and looking at those old schemers who, despite their cunning, couldn’t conceal the yearning in their eyes, Fang Ze suddenly found the situation slightly amusing...
