The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

At the bandit headquarters, a large screen was installed, and a group of bandits were watching the news on television.

When the mayor of Yunshan shook hands with Ouyang Dongsheng and acknowledged his identity as the leader of the bandits, the bandits slapped their thighs with joy.

"Hahaha! They believed it! They believed it!"

"Ouyang Dongsheng doesn't even know where our headquarters is or how many people are in our company. The authorities want to understand us through him? That's wishful thinking!"

"The person in charge (x), the scapegoat (√)."

Song Gua took a sip of the tea that Da Congming had handed him.

"Boss, the authorities want us to be in charge, they definitely don't want a mascot."

They'll inevitably try to learn about us through Ouyang Dongsheng. If we ask him about the bandits, won't he be completely clueless?

"Don't worry, I made him memorize my made-up 'History of Bandit Development' for a few days. If the authorities want to ask, they'll definitely get some answers, but none of them will be guaranteed to be true."

"What if Ouyang Dongsheng doesn't do what you want to say, but chooses to tell the truth instead?"

Even though he's never seen your face, he knows what his brothers look like after plastic surgery. Will he betray them?

After all, we've had him here for quite some time; he'll probably hold a grudge against us.

"He used to be a rat in the street, hated by everyone."

Now, he has been exonerated and can move freely, enjoying respect as a former bandit.

He has a good life but insists on making himself miserable. I think... he's more like a bandit than you all!

This is the fact.

Ouyang Dongsheng cherished this opportunity to be in charge.

Song Gua made him memorize tens of thousands of words. Despite his advanced age, he memorized them all in just a few days, ensuring that there wouldn't be any major slip-ups when the authorities questioned him.

"I still think it's a bit beneath us to have Ouyang Dongsheng represent us bandits."

Song Gua said with a straight face.

"This is a stopgap measure."

I saw it at Xinhu that time too. The official experts of Jiangnan City can even dismantle a Gundam. Are we more powerful than a Gundam?

This is just one local official expert; the combat power in the core departments of the Federation will only be stronger.

We'll avoid their sharpest attacks, feign cooperation, and buy ourselves time to develop.

Song Gua never intended to agree to any system of supervision by responsible persons.

He's just using someone as a shield.

Supervising bandits?

dream.

Go and supervise Ouyang Dongsheng.

The speed at which the bandits' strength increased was unprecedented.

After the Federation is established, it will be discovered without them realizing that the bandits have grown to a level that they can no longer control.

Therefore, as long as Song Gua can buy some time to allow the organization to grow stronger, it can avoid going against the most core power of this planet during its rise.

He didn't even consider the aftermath of taking charge of the matter. By the time problems arose, the bandits had already grown in strength.

Da Congming had a sudden inspiration.

"Boss, actually, all we need to do is change our clothes and not admit we're bandits, right?"

"What if they ask you to send in another person in charge later?"

"Then let's change to another set!"

"Your wisdom often makes me feel ashamed... In the end, it still comes down to our current strength being insufficient to contend with the Federation. Look at the Rebel Alliance, the Avengers, and Night Owl—when have they ever ever defeated the Federation?"

"The boss is right."

"so……"

Song Gua took the whip that Xuezi Ge handed over.

"This summer, everyone must reach level 30, complete their second job advancement, and hatch a pet! Anyone who fails to do so will be relegated to the cannon fodder group to help the other brothers level up faster!"

"Snapped!"

The whip lashed the ground hard, kicking up countless specks of dust.

"Tyrant! It's one thing to be inhuman yourself, but to treat us like this is even worse!"

"We were born early and started from a low point, so it's very difficult for us to reach level 30."

"Yes, I'm stuck due to experience fatigue."

Song Gua wielded his whip once more.

"When you get tired of experience, go to the forbidden zone and kill the creatures there!"

Experience gained from killing creatures in restricted areas does not count towards experience fatigue.

The clones were in dire straits.

Given that most of them haven't even reached the second job advancement level, challenging creatures from forbidden zones would likely result in their deaths.

But in order to no longer be constrained by others, and to be able to run, jump, and hang upside down freely in this world.

Bandits, let's fight!

a few days later.

The level 35 training area in Yunshan City.

Several groups of bandits, nearing level 30, have booked the entire area to level up.

"That old scoundrel is a real jerk! He lies at home all day, eating, playing, sleeping, and sleeping again, calling it 'work-life balance.' Damn it! We're the ones working hard, while he gets all the leisure!"

"Stop yelling, stop yelling. If he hears you, we'll be punished by having to watch the warehouse again."

"Let's hurry up and reduce their experience fatigue; we haven't met our target for the Forbidden Zone creatures this week."

"Huh? It looks like someone's coming."

"Which blind fool didn't see that we bandits have booked the whole area to level up? Do you think we're cosplayers?"

As the people approached, the bandits were able to see their faces clearly.

Wow! They're all big shots in the area, level 60+ third-tier experts.

Pang Qingyun, head of the Pang family; Xu Ming, head of the Xu family; and Lin Dong, head of the Lin family.

The three men greeted the bandits with smiles and laughter.

"Oh my, when I look at them from a distance, these five dashing young men must be the famous bandit brothers."

"Leveling up? Only five people? A lot of our Lin family's advisors are currently experiencing experience fatigue, so they're just sitting around doing nothing. Should I arrange for some of them to come and help you out?"

"Judging by the color of these equipment, they're all of excellent quality, right? I happened to bring five sets of rare quality level 30 equipment with me today. I don't need them anyway, so why don't you gentlemen take them?"

The three of them fawned over him, their eyes practically squinting into slits.

If you didn't know better, you'd think they were just lackeys. Who would have thought they were the heads of the three major families in Yunshan City?

Offering unsolicited favors is either a sign of malice or theft.

The bandits looked at each other through their hoods, then took three steps back and gestured for them not to come any closer.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll self-destruct!"

Pang Qingyun and the other two immediately stopped.

You can disbelieve anything else the bandits say, but when they say this, it's absolutely believable.

Xu Ming chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, the three of us mean no harm."

The man wearing seven stripes on his head cursed, "If a weasel sees a chicken and says it's allergic to chicken, would you believe it?"

Xu Ming, feeling embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "The three of us came here today specifically to communicate with your bandit organization. We really have no ill intentions."

"If you want to communicate with us, go find Ouyang Dongsheng, don't come to us."

"Sigh, you don't know, Dean Ouyang is really different now. We have to make an appointment to talk to him. And even if we make an appointment, the problem is that the waiting list is for three months from now. That's too long."

Several bandits whispered among themselves.

"Damn! I knew the position of manager was desirable! Look how popular it is!"

"No way, with a job this busy, he still has time to improve himself? Don't you know what kind of temper that old thief has? He's at the bottom of the rankings, and he's already going to be in charge? He'd be more like someone in charge of self-destruction!"

"Hiss...that makes sense. Bandits don't raise trash."
