Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

"Huh? No, this..."

Qian Daqiang, who had been ignored the whole time, was dumbfounded again.

Not only him, but almost everyone present was surprised that Lü Yan would lower his head so quickly.

This person usually ignores everyone and only focuses on studying equipment.

Judging from their conversation, the bracelet contained remnants of a calamity, and there must have been a considerable amount of them.

Otherwise, a mere 40% profit wouldn't be enough to make this sixth-rank official, who had been in charge of the armory for many years, bow down.

After all, labor costs are the most expensive part of the alien production process.

Moreover, this Miss Xu just mentioned the [King of Cysts], which is currently the most expensive Calamity Core, bar none.

Calamities with such high sequences generally do not have multiple individuals.

Although there are quite a few of these things, they are mostly located deep within the void realm, making them extremely difficult to capture. At the very least, it would require the intervention of a seventh-tier expert.

She even has this?

As the core department of the alliance, the Armory's submission to Lü Yan signifies its allegiance.

Everyone knows that Xu Miao becoming the new leader of the alliance is a foregone conclusion.

However, an alliance is a loose organization that bands together for mutual support, or rather, a community of shared interests.

The most core function of the alliance leader, besides maintaining the normal operation of the alliance, is to have the right to allocate resources.

Only sufficient benefits can keep the alliance stable.

But this new leader made almost no statement.

He also seems quite domineering, even stating things like "it depends on my mood" directly, coupled with rumors of him "eating people"...

Everyone was unsure, but no one dared to say it.

Nobody wants to become the next Qian Daqiang.

Chen Li glanced around, taking in everyone's reactions.

That's why they call them a bunch of idiots.

If you stay in comfort for too long, your brain won't be able to function properly.

If it were him, with two sixth-tier members expressing their support, it would be obvious even to a fool who would call the shots in the alliance, so why would he need to consider any interests?

Although Xu Miao didn't say much, she had already demonstrated a strong personality.

Almost everything is decided in one word, and there is no room for rebuttal.

But he has no obligation to remind these people to behave themselves.

As Lü Yan returned to his seat, Chen Li stepped forward.

"Since Lü Yan has no objections, then I hereby announce—"

He paused, scanned the crowd, and said loudly:

"From today onwards, Miss Xu Miao is the new leader of the alliance."

clap clap clap!

There was a moment of silence in the conference room, followed by a round of applause.

Regardless, the matter has been settled, and there needs to be some kind of gesture.

But many people have already given up. If they really can't stand it, going to No. 1 Pharmacy seems like an option.

However, the instant this thought arose,

An indescribable heat rose from the depths of my soul, then transformed into a piercing pain that penetrated deep into my soul.

"Ugh!!!"

To Jiang Mian's left, a bald, diseased man with completely black skin suddenly screamed, drawing everyone's attention.

He wasn't an isolated case; he seemed to be just a catalyst.

One after another, the patients in the conference room screamed in agony.

He collapsed in pain, his body curled up and convulsing, as if he were experiencing something extremely painful.

"What happened?"

"My body...is not obeying my commands?!"

Before they could think any further, their minds were plunged into darkness, and they watched helplessly as their spirits were devoured.

After a while, the pain gradually subsided, allowing them to catch their breath.

Everyone turned their attention to this mysterious new leader.

She didn't seem surprised at all, clearly having been prepared.

Although Chen Li is a mentalist, there is a noticeable delay before he uses his abilities.

Moreover, since it's mainly an illusion, there won't be this kind of dull, agonizing pain.

"Let me offer you a piece of advice."

Jiang Mian leaned forward slightly, placing her hands on the conference table, her voice revealing no emotion.

"If they have any more thoughts of defecting from the alliance, next time it won't be this simple."

These words caused an uproar in the room.

She really did it?!

When did they make their move?

The people who had just been planning to seek refuge at Pharmacy No. 1 suddenly didn't dare to breathe.

However, they noticed that Qian Daqiang did not seem to be one of them.

Is this reasonable?

In fact, Jiang Mian had already prepared to take action, but she did not expect that Lü Yan would give in so easily.

It seems he truly has a deep love for manufacturing equipment.

As for these people, to prevent them from playing any tricks, we must plant a seed of war and give them a warning.

But Qian Daqiang didn't have that.

She has other uses for keeping this person.

After this commotion, those with ulterior motives immediately quieted down, but they still felt uneasy and even had a sense of inexplicable panic.

Anyone would feel uneasy if they were completely controlled by unknown means.

Just as Jiang Mian was about to announce the end of the meeting, a cautious voice rang out from the corner:

"Um...can I ask you something?"

Looking in the direction of the sound, there was a middle-aged man who looked extremely thin, sitting in the second position on the left.

A faint smile played at the corners of her lips, making her appear exceptionally approachable.

"Oh? You go ahead."

"Alliance Leader Xu, I'm not questioning you. It's just..."

He started with some polite pleasantries, giving us plenty of warnings.

Seeing Jiang Mian tilt her head slightly, she was startled and quickly got to the point:

"Now that you've taken office, will the alliance's rules remain the same as before? Also, where is Qian Xiong...?"

Everyone perked up their ears.

This is the real business!

They don't care who the leader is, as long as they get the "money".

But this new leader is clearly not someone to be trifled with.

What if she suddenly decides to take all the resources into her own hands, leaving the people below her to starve?

But they seem to have been mentally imprinted, so they can't run away. If there's no benefit to be gained, it's practically torture!

After all, the fifth stage is the most difficult period for the infected person, as their own resources are consumed in great quantities, not to mention that they also have subordinates to support.

"That's a good question."

Jiang Mian leaned back and said frankly:

"I don't care about the rules of the alliance. From now on, Chen Li will still be in charge of daily affairs."

"But when it comes to resources, I have the final say. As for Qian Xiong..."

Seeing that she wasn't angry at all, the man breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next sentence touched a nerve with everyone.

"Weren't you discussing cannibalism? Why don't you guess where he went?"

Jiang Mian stopped there, leaving everyone to their imaginations.

"Where did it go? Do you even need to guess?!"

Her words were almost explicit.

To be able to devour a sixth-tier mutated being, one must at least be a sixth-tier power, right?

"Qian Xiong...is he really dead? Or was he eaten?!"

Qian Daqiang was the one most affected among them.

"It's over, it's all over!"

Just now, he also had the idea of ​​defecting, but for some reason, Xu Miao didn't make a move against him.

Are you going to keep it to yourself and torture yourself slowly?

Seeing that their eyes had become much clearer, Jiang Mian knew that she had achieved her goal.

This is indeed a pretty good excuse; it has a deterrent effect, and these people won't go around spreading rumors.

"Alright, that's enough."

Jiang Mian stood up and looked at Lü Yan.

"You, come with me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she walked out of the conference room on her own, leaving Chen Li and the other level-five patients looking at each other in bewilderment.

……

"Boss!"

Outside the conference room, Yu Xiaoxiao hurriedly came forward, her eyes shining with admiration.

Although she didn't see the process, the fact that she came out so quickly clearly meant it went very smoothly.

With such a powerful backer, can I just do whatever I want here?

Jiang Mian casually patted her head.

After washing it clean, it wasn't so disgusting anymore.

Lu Yan, who had followed her out, glanced at Yu Xiaoxiao but didn't pay her much attention, assuming she was just the alliance leader's lackey. He then said seriously:

"Alliance Leader Xu, is there... anything you wish to tell me?"

Jiang Mian tilted his head slightly, a half-smile on his face.

"Would you like to take this further?"
