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

Brother Xifeng walked on the wasteland on the outskirts of Xichuan City.

Beside Ghost Brother followed a group of tall, strangely shaped monsters exuding various elemental powers.

They are elite wild monsters that Ghost Brother transformed in the wild.

Because Xichuan City is a high-level city, the wilderness area is not only populated by monsters of the mob type, but can contain monsters of the elite type. Therefore, the resource output of the wilderness area in high-level cities is richer than that in low-level cities.

Ghost Brother's summoned creatures were shrouded in layers of thick fog, which acted as a natural cover, allowing Ghost Brother and his summoned creatures to enter the city unnoticed.

Strangely, wherever Ghost Brother and his summoned creatures went, the fog followed.

A wisp of mist, slightly darker in color, gracefully approached Ghost Brother's side.

The fog sometimes turned into tomatoes, sometimes into radishes, and sometimes into cucumbers.

"Brother Ghost, do you think I change quickly?"

Ghost Brother, carrying a two-meter-long skull machete, glanced at him.

"I don't know if you're fast or not, but we need to move faster. If we keep dragging this out, Shi Yang and Lao Deng's speech will be over."

The wisp of mist transformed back into the form of Mist Brother, but only the upper half of his body remained; the lower half was still mist, which was quite eerie.

"Haha, don't worry, it's okay if you're late. My fog won't be late. A mere podium doesn't need fog in the jungle. The fog I create with my skills is enough."

The view is pulled upwards, looking down at the ground below.

The fog was so thick that Fog Bro and Ghost Bro were currently in a location where visibility was impossible. Song Gua had given Ghost Bro a secret treasure called Fog Vision Mirror. Wearing it in front of their eyes would allow them to ignore the fog in their environment and thus gain visibility, so it wouldn't affect their journey.

As you move outwards from this central location, the fog density decreases.

It spread until it reached a distance of ten kilometers.

Fog Bro's skill can create fog.

But with his current combat strength, he couldn't create such a large area by himself.

But his professional talent allows him to control fog in the environment.

Therefore, the thick fog that covered Ghost Brother and his summoned creatures as they entered Xichuan City was brought in from the wild by Fog Brother.

Fog Bro controls the concentration of this fog, making it high in the center and low around the edges.

To outsiders, it would just look like fog, unless they ventured deep into the fog to investigate.

But today, none of the three major urban safety management departments—the Public Security Bureau, the Special Affairs Bureau, and the Law Enforcement Department—will come to investigate this fog.

Because Zheng Suwen was cooperating with the bandits.

He issued a decree early in the morning, calling for improvements in the city's safety and happiness index.

The Ministry of Law Enforcement, the Special Affairs Bureau, and the Public Security Bureau have all increased their manpower to strengthen patrols and security in various areas of the city.

Handle all backlogged cases.

Participate in safety awareness and education activities at various community activity centers throughout the city.

In addition, the speeches by the two deputy mayors already required these departments to allocate manpower.

For a time, the three major security management departments were extremely busy.

Nobody has time to care about foggy places anymore.

So what if it's foggy? Haven't you ever seen fog in the wild?

Zheng Suwen's behavior was also reasonable.

To those who are dissatisfied, this is a show of force, an attempt to gain political achievements and increase votes.

Those who know him well know that he has always been diligent in his duties, so it is normal for him to issue more decrees.

In this way, Brother Gui and his large group were able to gradually approach the stage where Shi Yang was giving his speech.

Of course, this process also requires the assistance of various secret treasures.

Otherwise, those behemoths would have left no trace as they passed through the city.

—The bandits have participated in many battles for wild bosses, so they have no shortage of functional treasures.

Shi Yang's speech.

A grand and magnificent stage, with tens of thousands of people watching.

Behind the stage, a large screen dozens of meters high played touching scenes of Shi Yang visiting workers and farmers, taking photos with children from poor families.

"Dear citizens, for a long time, I, Shi Yang, have been subjected to slander and rumors from others, which has caused you to have many misunderstandings about me."

They said I was a corrupt official.

Not bad!

I am indeed a corrupt official!

I'm greedy. Why can't the citizens of Xichuan City guarantee a two-day weekend?

I'm greedy. Why can't the farmers in Xichuan City sell their grain at a higher price?

I'm greedy. Why can't every worker in Xichuan City be allocated an apartment?

I'm greedy! I hope all of this can be achieved after I become mayor!

I have a dream…

When Shi Yang wrote his short essay, men fell silent and women wept.

He spoke in a tone of "I'm really wronged," spouting grandiose and empty rhetoric, trying to deceive citizens with an IQ of less than 80 into voting for him.

Just as Shi Yang was getting excited.

Suddenly, the large screen behind him started displaying static and crackling noises.

Shi Yang stopped.

What's a speech without suitable background music?

He turned his head and looked around, wondering what kind of aircraft the technical team was working on.

He wanted to curse someone in his heart, but he smiled on his face.

"It seems there's a minor malfunction with our multimedia equipment. No problem, we have plenty of time. Let's wait a bit while the staff handles it..."

Before Shi Yang could finish speaking, a mobile phone screen projection suddenly appeared on the big screen.

The projected screen is a group chat interface.

The person operating the phone is scrolling up the chat history.

It wasn't until I found the message Shi Yang had posted in the group three days ago that I realized.

[My idol: I love you all! My beloved concubines! I'm about to become mayor, and then you'll all be mayor's wives!]

[First concubine: Wow!! My idol is so amazing!!]

[Seventh concubine: Great! Great! My god is awesome, he's done Old Zheng a disgrace!]

[Wife #27: @MyGod, send me a red envelope! Otherwise, I won't let you see my new black stockings tonight!]

[Thirtyth Wife: @My God, where's the yacht you promised me? It hasn't arrived yet! I'm getting so impatient!]

[Second concubine: The old man isn't coming to see me tomorrow, so you can come instead.]

[The second concubine retracted a message.]

[My crush sent me a lucky draw red envelope.]

【…】

Looking at these chat logs, Shi Yang froze on the spot, his brain shutting down for a full minute.

The bodyguards around Shi Yang were drenched in sweat.

The audience below the stage was excited.

"Wait, who is this? So narcissistic, their online name is 'Male God'? I've just gotten an extra three-bedroom apartment!"

"Why is everyone else in the group chat a 'mistress'? Is this his 'mistresses' group?"

"Look, judging from the context of the chat, this 'male god' seems to be Shi Yang!"

"Is it true that Shi Yang has a group of mistresses?!"

"Who is it that's so brave, exposing them directly?"

"No, I think there's a lot of information in this chat log..."

"There seems to be something on Shi Yang's head..."

Shi Yang finally realized what was happening and shouted into the microphone.

"Tech team! What are you doing?! Do you want to go to jail?!"

Before he could finish speaking...

Several members of the technical team fell from the sky and landed right at Shi Yang's feet, all of them with bruises and swelling.

"Boss, bandits, bandits, bandits are coming..."

More than just bandits came.

A thick fog has arrived.
