Chapter 237. Promoted to Chief Elder

The War Alliance was founded by the Son of Thunder in the new era of 2000. The alliance has a large number of outstanding war faction talents and a small number of elites from the chaos and light factions.

This force, guided by the principles of fairness and justice and operating under the law of the jungle, has made remarkable progress through relentless effort, becoming one of the top forces in the world of supernatural abilities. The atmosphere within the alliance is lively and friendly…

The war faction is not as concise and straightforward as the light faction; their documents, as usual, begin with lengthy self-aggrandizement.

Jiang Jianxin swiped down, quickly skipping over the three self-praising paragraphs from the alliance, and finally found the most important personnel deployment information.

Due to the change of the highest management of this faction, the faction will lay off high-level personnel and vigorously promote new forces. The following is the new personnel arrangement of this faction.

Chief Elder (New): Jiang Jianxin
New Director of the Medical Department at Shuguang Base: Song Jun

Minister of the United Front Work Department of Shuguang Base (New): Cheng Duoduo
Dawn Base...

Jiang Jianxin was prepared to happily switch jobs after failing the initial screening, but he never expected to see his name in bold on the very first line of the new personnel list.

The official document showed Jiang Jianxin smiling confidently; it was clearly a close-up of his face taken from a battle video, with a red background added.

Behind her photo, the four large characters "Chief Elder" shone with dazzling golden light, making Jiang Jianxin feel dizzy.

When Jiang Jianxin came across this news, she was sitting in Yin Ju's office tent. She had originally planned to wait for Xie Yan to come over so they could discuss her job change further.

Who knew that while scrolling through my phone, I would suddenly come across such a shocking news story.

Yin Ju, who was standing nearby, wasn't handling official business either. He was drinking tea and surfing the internet, so he naturally saw the new announcement from the alliance.

The tent fell silent instantly.

Jiang Jianxin pursed her lips, unwilling to accept reality.

After a long pause, Yin Ju finally spoke first:

"Sword Master... it seems you've become the Chief Elder."

"...Should we still switch to this channel?"

"..."

Jiang Jianxin remained silent.

Intuition in my mind slowly released two lines of bubble-like text:

She realized you were trying to profit from the situation.

The premise of the fisherman's scheme is to first step aside and observe the struggle between the snipe and the clam.

There are two ways to break this plan. One is to take precautions and prepare in advance, just like she did before. The other way is to drag the fisherman into the water and have the three of them fight it out, getting everyone involved in the mess.

The current situation clearly favors the latter. The strategist of the Dream Pavilion saw through her plan and promoted her without hesitation, thus easily ruining her plans by feigning retreat.

Jiang Jianxin felt like a deflated balloon. He thought he had suddenly become much smarter after his enlightenment, but when he actually faced a high-level Guangming, he realized that his little tricks had long been seen through.

Don't be sad, you've already made a lot of progress.

My intuition comforted me.

From initially being the one who benefited from the fisherman's actions, to preventing the fisherman from benefiting, and now starting to try to benefit from the fisherman's actions, you have been making progress.

It spoke slowly.

Intuitively, I knew about Jiang Jianxin's past experiences. To be honest, it was quite surprising that someone could grow so quickly in just six months.

Jiang Jianxin didn't feel the impact of the precognitive cycle on him; he only knew intuitively that while it's easy to say "a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit," only someone who is inherently intelligent can achieve this kind of idealized rapid growth.

It has seen too many mediocre people—they stumble and fall in the same place repeatedly, making the same mistake again and again… They often have to stumble countless times on the same thing before they belatedly realize the problem.

True genius never shines only when the fruits of victory are reaped.

Their uniqueness is etched into their very being; in every subtle moment of decision-making, in every unintentional leap of thought, they gleam with an unparalleled brilliance.

Jiang Jianxin is a true genius; she simply lacks experience, not a brilliant mind.

[...It's normal that we were seen through this time. After all, our opponent is Guangming, who made their fortune through scheming and manipulation. It would be strange if they were easily fooled by a single war.]

Intuition slowly explained.

Jiang Jianxin was still somewhat puzzled:
[I don't understand how she figured it out.] Her brow twitched, and she suddenly continued:
Is it because the AI's central hub is at Dawn Base, and I had the authority but didn't choose to destroy it?

【Um. 】

He calmly and intuitively replied:

What you can think of, the other side can also deduce in reverse. Don't underestimate these smart people.

It paused, then gave an example:

[You see, Guangming likes to create schemes within schemes; in reality, they can't deceive their peers without using multiple layers of deception.]

They will scrutinize every subtle, unusual action you take during this unexpected turn of events, examining it meticulously.

There will be no oversights, because someone who can be careless even in considering such matters wouldn't be assigned to the Light faction.

Jiang Jianxin fell silent.

She used to think that the people in the Light faction were all thin and weak, and looked like they could be crushed at any moment, and had no killing power.

This was the first time she had felt the oppressive force of the light.

How many details of this incident did she manage to deduce?

Jiang Jianxin asked.

[You'll have to figure out her counter-reasoning yourself.]

"I answered intuitively."

Jiang Jianxin hadn't even pushed it yet, but just seeing the line of words his intuition told him made his head spin.

Forget it, there are always those with precognition; let's leave the professional stuff to the professionals.

Jiang Jianxin had never felt so fortunate to have a smart person in the cycle as he did today.

Let those two benevolent ones do their thing.

My biggest problem right now is how to switch jobs to Fool's Club.

Jiang Jianxin held his phone, lost in thought.

Seeing that Jiang Jianxin was not speaking, Yin Ju knew that she was in a bad mood, so he stopped mentioning her good news of being promoted to chief elder and instead looked at the other people on the list.

"Hey, why don't I see Elder Liu on the list of elders?"

Yin Ju muttered to himself as he looked at the list.

He wasn't on the War Alliance's personnel appointment list because he had been a staunch supporter of Qin Xuan back at Dawn Base.

He's currently in Haidu. After Qin Xuan left, there's no way he'd come back.

Yin Ju himself controls water. Water-based attacks are often overlooked by those with high combat power because they are not very strong and have high environmental requirements.

There's no need for the alliance to forcefully summon this water-based mage from the Qin Xuan faction back; they won't gain anything, and it will only be unpleasant.

Yin Ju was happy to be free, but he didn't expect that Liu Yiguan was not on the list either.

"Liu Yiguan has already run away."

Jiang Jianxin said dejectedly.

"It's obvious you haven't been following Liu Yiguan's forum account."

"Hey, I thought King Senluo looked like a gentle and aloof person and rarely used the Ping An Forum."

Yin Ju said in surprise.

"So, what did Elder Liu post on the account?"

Jiang Jianxin nodded and said:

"She was a blogger with millions of followers in the abstract section, and she posted an abstract video the night she fled."

"You know what, the traffic is actually pretty good."
