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

The news that the bandits had been added to the global wanted list caused widespread public outrage in the Huaxia region, and Yunshan City was not the only place where such resentment was boiling over.

In any city where bandits had been, there was now strong opposition to issuing arrest warrants for them.

Even disregarding the major achievements such as saving Yunshan City and Nanshui City in the World Boss battle, eliminating the financial tycoon forces, arresting corrupt officials, besieging the mutant beasts to save the test takers, and defending Glory City.

The mere existence of Brother Xuezi, who punishes evil and promotes good, greatly enhances the image of the bandits.

However, it should be noted that the bandits went to these cities to compete for resources.

Even guilds and forces that had previously had conflicts of interest with the bandits now sided with the citizens.

Perhaps after learning about the major events the bandits had accomplished in the past and their contributions to Glory City, they genuinely felt that issuing a warrant for their arrest was somewhat absurd.

It's also possible that they're simply concerned about their image and worried about not being able to recruit new talent in the future.

In short, both the upper and lower classes are firmly opposed to the wanted criminals.

Protests and demonstrations, including the siege of government office buildings, have taken place in many cities.

Yatuo City, Xinggang City, Jiangnan City, Xichuan City...

Cities that opposed the wanted bandits began to ignite like sparks, gradually spreading like wildfire.

Clashes between officials and protesters have gradually escalated.

Especially in Jiangnan City.

The bandits once wiped out the mutated beasts here and saved a large number of candidates who had participated in the martial arts exam.

They traveled from surrounding cities to actively participate in the marches and demonstrations.

They took the lead, guided the protests, and enthusiastically organized them, causing the protest crowd to continue to grow.

Jiangnan City is a first-tier city with a large population.

With so many people halting production activities and taking to the streets, the impact on the city's operation is enormous.

Therefore, the authorities had no choice but to call in the coalition forces to suppress the rebellion.

The allied forces that stepped forward were Zhang Erhe's Third Army, which had just been transferred back from the lunar battlefield.

In the chaos, bloodshed ensued.

The crowd was enraged, and a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides.

Nanshui City has also taken action.

The entire city of Nanshui was united in its efforts, and the municipal bureau directly refused the order after receiving it, so the citizens did not stage any protests in Nanshui.

But as mayor, Qi Xuan saw that the bandits had saved Nanshui City from life-or-death situations twice in the past year, and he couldn't just do that.

Qi Xuan summoned everyone in Nanshui City and pressed their fingerprints on a petition written in blood. He then took this petition to the capital to appeal and plead for the life of the bandits.

As Earth was in turmoil, and as China was at the eye of the storm of this turmoil.

What are the bandits doing?

They are holding an awards ceremony.

"Thump thump thump! Thump thump! Thump thump thump! Wait! Thump thump..."

It's that familiar athletes' march again.

Inside a massive underground civil defense facility capable of holding three thousand people, the host stood on an exquisite awards stage, holding a golden microphone, and delivered a passionate and rousing speech through a high-quality sound system.

"Next up is Miss Butterfly, who narrowly escaped death and displayed her skills at the last second! He's a mecha builder as fierce as a tiger, but his battle record is a dismal 0-5—Magnetic Bro!!!"

The audience erupted in applause and screams.

"Magnetic Bro! Magnetic Bro! Magnetic Bro!"

"Hey Magnet Bro! When are you going to make us a mecha to play with?"

"Today! Today!"

"Magnetic Bro is the coolest!!"

Wearing a hood, Magnet Bro strode confidently onto the stage and stood on the third-place award podium.

As he passed the host, he muttered, "You don't have to say the last sentence, damn it."

The host shrugged and replied in a low voice, "These words were written by that old thief."

Magnet Brother cursed under his breath, "Damn it, he's got nothing better to do than fart."

Song Gua sat in the corner, operating a sewing machine to make new hoods and Taoist robes. After the battle of Glory City, the robes and hoods of his clones were severely damaged, and he was now working overtime every day to finish them.

Song Gua's ears twitched, but he didn't raise his head and said...

"Have you two forgotten that I can hear you whenever you open your mouths?"

Magnet Brother and the host immediately shut up and continued with the procedure.

Magnet Brother stood on the award stage, raising his arms high.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you everyone for your kindness! I will definitely study it carefully later to figure out how to create a more practical mech!"

Actually, after Magnet Bro came back, he tried to hand-craft the mecha again.

He went to a scrap yard and used his innate ability to mold the metal materials.

In the end, although the shape of GD-660 was sculpted, it could not be turned on.

Song Gua suspects that only by reassembling the materials of those mechs can they be put back into mechs.

You can't turn something made from random pieces of metal into a high-tech weapon.

Magnet Brother has a different opinion. He thinks there are still some details that are not quite right. Even if you can't create something that can match the technology of the Celestials, you should at least be able to create something that lights up.

So he's still researching.

Four people carrying a plate walked onto the stage.

The prize on the plate is for the third place winner.

"Magnetic stuff~ Hurry up and take it, this is the best equipment we have in our warehouse right now, the boss has really gone all out this time~"

Magnet Brother scratched his head, looked at the four silly-looking guys with a smile, and took them with both hands.

"Thank you, Four, for presenting me with this award."

You're welcome~~

The host continued his rapping.

"Next up is Ghost Bro, not so great in one-on-one, but a hero in team fights! You worry about the Abyss invasion, but I charge in like I'm coming home!!"

In large-scale battles, if the enemy can be transformed into a summoned creature.

Ghost Brother will immediately become the chosen one of the versions.

This battle in the main city was no exception.

Thanks to his talent for summoning creatures, Ghost Brother's summons grew like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.

The reason why the bandits suffered so few casualties in this battle, in stark contrast to the exaggerated casualty rates of other forces in the city, is largely due to the protection provided by Ghost Brother's summoned creatures.

Moreover, when it comes to who has accumulated the most reputation, Ghost Brother is second to none.

He earned more reputation points by himself than all the other bandits combined!

There was no other way. By the end, he had several thousand summoned creatures, including some that were transformed from fifth- or sixth-tier abyssal creatures. These creatures then turned around and killed lower-tier creatures, which was a true case of dimensional reduction.

Therefore, Ghost Brother truly deserves to be ranked second in this Glory City battle.

"Brother Gui! Brother Gui! Brother Gui!"

"Thanks to Brother Gui this time, otherwise I don't know how many times I would have died!"

"But when Ghost Brother encounters large-scale battles like this, he has to multitask and command so many summoned creatures, which is very mentally taxing."

"Yeah, you guys didn't see it, Ghost Brother has even less hair than Monkey Brother now, it's heartbreaking."

"Ghost Bro deserves to win the championship!!"

"Strongly support Brother Ghost!!"

Ghost Brother raised his arms high.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you everyone! Standing on this stage again, I'm so excited! Thank God, thank Earth, thank the old thief for thinking highly of me! I'm awesome, I'm proud, I'm giving myself a celebratory salute! Haha!"

Four more came up carrying plates.

He spoke in a coy, slightly shy manner.

"Hey~ Take this, the boss has prepared rare resources for you, including dragon bones, innate Ganoderma lucidum, and legendary skill books~~"

Ghost Brother took it with one hand.

"Thank you for presenting the award."

"It's not hard work~~"
