Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 127: Show weakness to your own people, and strength to the world, and you will be able to navigate the situation with ease.

"Achoo!"

"Who's cursing me behind my back, you little darling? Ϭ९ʂհմ×.çօʍ"

Qin Feng was about to scold him, but after thinking about it, he said "cutie" instead.

The people I've befriended at this stage are either patriarchs, kings, emperors, or masters—all incredibly important figures. If I were to insult someone wrong and they sense it, I'd be in deep trouble.

Let it sneeze, it's better than physical pain anyway.

"Brother Qin, how have you been?"

The conference room door opened, and Hei Fu Shen Bu Hai walked in first, beaming. "I really didn't expect it! You played two roles all by yourself! You really fooled me!"

Qin Feng looked at Shen Buhai with annoyance, "I've fooled a lot of people, but I've never fooled you. I wanted to hit you, but you wouldn't even move forward."

Shen Buhai laughed and said, "I am a disciple of the Legalist school. I am not good at verbal battles, but I am good at litigation. If this were a public court or a courtroom, I would definitely fight you for three hundred rounds. But if it's a friendly sparring match, then forget it, I can't beat you!"

Footsteps soon came from behind, and one by one, the envoys of the six kingdoms entered the venue.

"Shen Jun ran incredibly fast! He really got the five of us into serious trouble!"

"Who says otherwise! Shen Jun saw things were going wrong and turned to run away without even giving us a hint. Qi Tian is Qin Feng, and Qin Feng is Qi Tian! We five had to break our heads before we found out the truth!"

"Sigh, Qin Feng might be openly bad, but Shen Jun is secretly wicked. He deliberately knows but doesn't say anything, just wanting to see us make fools of ourselves!"

"Yes, yes!"

The four gentlemen, along with Crown Prince Dan, began to tease him. Shen Buhai, with a bitter face, said, "Gentlemen, why do you say that? I wasn't sure he was Qin Feng at the time. What if I was wrong? Wouldn't you blame me again?"

Lord Mengchang said, "If you're wrong, you'll only be blamed a few times, but I've been bedridden for days!"

"Haha! Lord Mengchang is a truly honest man!"

"I'm an honest person, there's nothing I can do about it! You guys just bully honest people!"

"We didn't bully anyone; it was the strategists who bullied us!"

"Now I finally understand the Yin-Yang School's prophecy about Qin Feng: 'When he's angry, the world will be in turmoil; when he's at peace, the world will be calm!' The Yin-Yang School's prediction was quite accurate!"

The crowd teased him, but Qin Feng couldn't do anything about it. These people were all incredibly shrewd, and they were all great figures who would later go down in history. It was perfectly normal for them to guess his identity.

Fortunately, only they and their group could enter this floor, and they wouldn't reveal their identities to outsiders.

After a few jokes, Qin Feng laughed and said, "Joking aside, there are still things to be done. Please have a seat."

Everyone sat down, the six of them taking their seats. Qin Feng sat in the chairman's seat, and this time there were no more objections. In terms of ability, strategy, and status, Qin Feng was the best candidate.

Qin Feng sized up the crowd. "You all saw that ship full of treasures, right?"

Everyone said, "We saw it."

Qin Feng spread his hands and said, "Those treasures are all going to be distributed to everyone!"

Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, everyone's faces lit up with joy. Was the entire spaceship's contents going to be divided among us? How generous of us!

Soon, everyone realized that it was Qin Feng who had said those words, and they all swallowed their joy. Qin Feng's benefits were not easy to obtain.

Seeing that everyone was becoming wary of him, Qin Feng didn't play games and said directly, "I, Qin Feng, wouldn't deceive my own people. I'll say what I mean, so there's no need for you to look at me like that!"

"The World Travel Foundation, as Master's support group, must think what Master thinks, do what Master does, fill in the gaps in Master's work, and ensure that the World Travel Foundation's journey is smooth and unobstructed!"

"Therefore, before issuing specific tasks, I think we should distribute the responsibilities!"

Lord Xinling said, "That's right! This function is very important. As a joint organization of the Hundred Schools of Thought, the Foundation is the first composite organization of the Hundred Schools of Thought and the Seven Kingdoms. If its functions are unclear or confused, it will lead to inefficiency!"

Lord Mengchang looked at Qin Feng, "President Qin, do you have a record of this?"

Qin Feng snapped his fingers, and a 3D projection of the foundation's structure appeared on the projection wall behind him.

The projection is facing down, with the president's office at the top, and arrows pointing downwards—exactly six arrows, representing the six departments/organizations.

Armed Forces Department, Intelligence Department, Materials Department, Science and Technology Department, Logistics Department, Personnel Department.

The Armed Forces Department, the only violent organization of the World Walking Foundation, upholds the principle of absolute obedience and has established an absolutely loyal violent organization. The composition of personnel does not require quantity but quality, especially elite teams, which are required to eliminate all obstacles to the foundation as discreetly as possible. The person in charge is undetermined.

The Second Intelligence Department serves as the eyes and ears of the Traveling World, collecting relevant intelligence. It can contact messengers for assistance and is also responsible for gathering sensitive intelligence on the Seven Kingdoms and the Hundred Schools of Thought, ensuring the Foundation's high level of intelligence awareness. Head: Undetermined.

The Third Logistics Department is responsible for receiving and distributing the spoils of Master Fu's travels, as well as paying salaries to foundation members, handling daily marketing, and managing bounties. Head of department: Undetermined.

The Fourth Technology Department is responsible for mecha research and development, integrating the technologies of six nations, and providing weapons and armor to the Armed Forces. Head: Undetermined.

The Fifth Logistics Department is responsible for the Foundation's public relations efforts, including media coverage, maintaining a positive image, and expanding the Foundation's visibility across the six nations and various sectors. Besides intelligence gathering, it is also responsible for issuing important bounty missions to eliminate treacherous individuals—humans, demons, and anyone in the world are welcome to kill. Anyone accepting a mission can identify themselves as a "ghostwriter" and can receive the mission from the Logistics Department. Head: Undetermined.

The Sixth Internal Affairs Department, under the Foundation's Internal Affairs Association, is responsible for internal investigations and checks to prevent infiltration by spies. The person in charge is undetermined.

Qin Feng's PPT is very well done, clear and concise. You can immediately see the hierarchical functions: six departments, you six, you decide how to divide them! Anyway, I'm the top leader, I oversee everything!

The six people present all acknowledged Qin Feng's leadership position and began looking for suitable positions for themselves.

Of the six departments, the Armed Forces Department is the most powerful in terms of sheer power. However, the Armed Forces Department requires combat prowess, and it's unacceptable for someone to be weak in martial arts. Among the six, the only one who can rival the chairman is Prince Dan. In addition, Prince Dan himself once established the Death Squad Alliance. He was originally the leader of the gang, and could even be considered the true retired leader behind the scenes of the terrorists from the seven countries!

Prince Dan has a vast network of connections and unimaginable influence among the heroes of the greenwood!

When it comes to establishing sects, recruiting members, and building armed forces, Prince Dan is unparalleled. Not to mention that the few people present cannot compare to Prince Dan, even within the entire solar system, there are few who can rival Prince Dan in terms of establishing sects!

Therefore, the candidate for the Armed Forces Department is undoubtedly Prince Dan.

Prince Dan himself is also very eager for the position in the Armed Forces Department! Putting aside everything else, Master Meng has been traveling all over the world recently, causing panic among the people. Many members of the Death Warrior Alliance are about to starve. If they are not allowed to kill, they will starve to death.

Even though the Death Squad has become too powerful and uncontrollable, many of its members are still his old followers and willing to listen to him. He needs to find a way for them to survive.

This armed forces department is perfect! And now, they've gone from being assassins to public servants of seven countries, which sounds good, the salary is good, and the work they do is still killing people. It's a perfect career transition!

Prince Dan immediately stood up. "I believe I am capable of taking on the role of head of the armed forces department! I humbly request that the chairman give me a chance!"

Qin Feng looked at Prince Dan and tsk tsk. This time, it's like a retired boss starting a second business! With the Death Squad Alliance as a failed example, Yan Dan will definitely be more careful this time. He won't end up like the Death Squad Alliance, where he became too big to handle and eventually couldn't be controlled.

Qin Feng looked at the five people around him. "Does anyone have any objections?"

The five people around understood perfectly well, and they all raised their hands to vote in agreement.

Qin Feng clapped and said, "Unanimously approved, Vice President of the Armed Forces Department, His Highness Crown Prince Dan!"

Prince Dan clasped his hands in satisfaction towards the crowd, "Rest assured, everyone, Yan Dan will soon build up the most loyal armed force in our foundation!"

The others, having successfully volunteered themselves, were all itching to do the same.

Lord Xinling then stood up. "I, Lord Xinling, am a disciple of Confucianism, the foremost of the Four Gentlemen. Within the Seven Kingdoms, I have numerous disciples, and my retainers are the most numerous among the Four Gentlemen! I am very skilled in intelligence gathering. Please give me a chance, Chairman. Wei Wuji will certainly not disappoint you and my colleagues!"

Qin Feng looked around, and everyone raised their hands to vote.

Qin Feng said, "Lord Xinling will henceforth be the Vice President of the Intelligence Department! Is there anyone else who would like to volunteer?"

"I'll do it!" Lord Chunshen laughed. "I am a prince of Chu, and a disciple of the Mohist school. Chu has the Mohist school's own Mechanical City. With my connections, I can invite many Mohist masters to forge weapons. Why don't I give this Department of Technology a try?"

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Approved! Congratulations to Lord Chunshen on becoming the Vice President of the Ministry of Science and Technology!"

Lord Pingyuan said, "I come from a distinguished family and am somewhat skilled in eloquence. Why don't I give the logistics department a try?"

Lord Mengchang said, "I am an honest man, from a farming family, and honest men are straightforward. So I'll just look after the warehouse; I'll take care of the supplies department!"

Shen Buhai said, "Internal investigations are prone to offending people and require people who uphold principles. As a Legalist, I think I should handle this task that might offend people!"

Qin Feng stood up and smiled, "In this way, each of the six departments will have its own responsibilities, and I, Qin Feng, will mainly be responsible for receiving the Master's latest instructions and conveying the leader's latest ideas. I hope everyone can put aside past grievances, unite as one, and do their best for the cause of the world!"

Everyone exclaimed, "The world belongs to all; we should strive for it!"

Qin Feng then snapped his fingers again, and all six of their phones rang simultaneously. "At this stage, what you all need to do is establish your own departments and build your own teams. I won't assign too many specific tasks, but there are some tasks that Master has requested be expedited. I've already broken down and distributed the tasks to you, so you can check them out!"

The six people looked at their phones with strange expressions, some even scratching their heads.

Lord Mengchang looked at his phone and couldn't help but ask, "President, according to your instructions, we're preparing so many relief supplies. Where are we going to get the funds?"

Qin Feng pointed to the ceiling and said, "Isn't that the startup capital for a spaceship upstairs? How to exchange the money is your supply department's business. If you don't have a buyer, you can ask Lord Xinling in the intelligence department. He must have many big clients under him."

Lord Xinling, standing nearby, enthusiastically said, "Come to me for buying and selling things! I have a wide network of connections! I'd be happy to help you!"

Prince Dan also enthusiastically replied, "Those are all excellent materials; my armed forces department is very interested in them too!"

Shen Buhai said, "The Internal Affairs Department can also help you with some things!"

"That's great stuff! The Ministry of Science and Technology can also help you with that!"

"Wait, it seems my supplies department can take all these supplies, don't try to steal them from me!"

"What do you mean by 'grabbing'? This is called sharing the burden! We colleagues should help each other! Hurry up and share some of this burden with me, or this isn't over today!"

"You guys are just bullying honest people..."

Qin Feng smiled and said, "The funds are up to you all. I have some things to take care of. Please continue!"

Qin Feng left the conference room, no longer vying with the six nations for the benefits of that spaceship, which was originally intended for the six nations!

Only when all six states have received the stolen goods, and when they are interrogated later, it will be clear that none of them have clean hands, and thus they can all be implicated together.

Qin Feng returned to his office.

Hu Hai, who was carefully guarding the door, saw Qin Feng return and hurriedly said, "Sir, news has come from Xianyang that your teacher, Zhang Beihai, has been given an important position."

Qin Feng paused, and Teacher Zhang has made a comeback?

Wasn't he sidelined by Fusu?

Qin Feng asked, "What position?"

Hu Hai said, "The Inner Court Commander-in-Chief is under the command of Grand Commander Gai Nie and has the authority to speak directly to Father King in case of emergency."

Qin Feng was taken aback. "Such a high position? What exactly does it entail?"

"The position is like this!" Hu Hai said, "but I'm not quite sure what exactly I'll be doing. The inner court is very good at keeping secrets, so it's hard to find out."

Qin Feng sat in the president's chair, picked up a glass of wine, and muttered to himself, "No matter what, this position is pretty good. The teacher should be very happy. Wait, how do you know Zhang Beihai is my teacher Qi Tian? Could it be that you know...?"

Hu Hai chuckled sheepishly, then proudly proclaimed, "Mr. Qi is Mr. Qin, and Mr. Qin is Qin Feng! My teacher is not the unknown Mr. Qi, but the world-renowned top master of the Astounding List! He is the only person to be number one on three lists in the eighteen Astounding List Competitions! He is the youngest ever traveling coachman! He is the founder of the Ancient God Flow Mecha! The creator of the Great Qin [Enhanced] Weapons! The junior master of the School of Diplomacy!"

"Mr. Shen Buhai told me everything! He even told me not to say anything carelessly! After all, you are the top figure on the Astounding List. Logically speaking, you should be starving, not drinking 1982 imperial wine here!"

"Don't worry, sir, I'll definitely keep it a secret, hehe..."

After Hu Hai finished speaking, he hurriedly slipped away.

Qin Feng watched Hu Hai's retreating figure. This kid is much smarter than Fusu. At this rate, Fusu, your throne is in jeopardy!

Qin Feng lay down on the chairman's seat, the recuperation pod activated, and his main body rested.

The consciousness entered the clone and began to cultivate martial arts.

Right now, on some unknown, remote asteroid belt.

In an ordinary community, at dusk, some children were playing happily on the long street.

Beside the long street, a middle-aged man, drunk, sat watching the sunset gradually disappear. The light fell from the horizon, just like his own brilliant past, gone forever.

"I still can't forget the past!"

Zhang Beihai drank his wine and looked up at the sky.

He has been away from his home planet for almost half a year. Although he has retired, his professional habits have kept him quite clear-headed, which makes it impossible for him to have anything in common with ordinary people.

Zhang Beihai tried teaching students, but as soon as he saw the difference between those students and his former students, he lost interest in teaching.

Zhang Beihai also knew that there was only one Qin Feng, and there would be no more.

An old man wearing a khaki overcoat sat on a bench. He took out a pack of cigarettes, the pack of which was printed with the iconic Xianyang Palace.

This is the most expensive cigarette in Xianyang. Only nobles could afford to smoke this in Xianyang Palace.

Being in a foreign land, the sight of this smoke made Zhang Beihai's body tense instinctively, and he looked warily at the old man in front of him.

The old man pulled his hat down, revealing half of his smiling face. "We meet again."

Zhang Beihai was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly bowed, "Lord Cui!"

The visitor was none other than Cui Puling, the third-in-command of the Court of Justice!

Cui Puling handed over a cigarette, "Here!"

Zhang Beihai hurriedly took the cigarette, excitedly saying, "Boss, why did you call me here? Does the organization think I can still be promoted and continue to contribute to the organization?"

Cui Puling looked at Zhang Beihai, somewhat puzzled, and said, "Little Zhang, can you explain to me why you're so keen on working in the inner court? Don't you find it exhausting?"

"How could I be tired!" Zhang Beikai exclaimed. "Wearing that uniform fills me with energy. If I could get a permanent position, my motivation would double!"

Cui Puling smiled and asked, "Have you been paying attention to your student Qin Feng's situation lately?"

Zhang Beihai shook his head. "The boss said that he and I are in the past and I shouldn't think about him anymore, so I haven't paid attention to his news. In fact, he seems to have disappeared recently, and there's very little news about him."

Cui Puling said, "He has learned to conceal his talents! His youthful days of showing off his abilities are over; now he is conserving his energy and making steady progress."

"This is a good thing!" Zhang Beihai said. "Being too sharp and outspoken is not a good thing."

Cui Puling said, "Last time you told me to help Qin Feng out so I could make some money, and believe it or not, I actually did make some!"

Zhang Beihai beamed with delight. "What do you mean? The boss is going to give me half? Half when we meet!"

"Of course we'll split it! We'll definitely split it!" Cui Puling suddenly grabbed Zhang Beihai by the neck. "I made a fortune following Qin Feng, and the Court of Justice's funds are no longer lacking thanks to Qin Feng's enhanced station! I've done a great service! But what's the result?!"

"Both the man surnamed Cheng and Prince Fusu thought I had a sharp eye and a broad perspective. They said that it was a loss for the empire for an old man like me to retire too early. Then they applied for gene therapy for me and even extended my lifespan by a hundred years and added fifty years of working hours!"

"Now look what's happened, my retirement plans are completely ruined!"

"If I hadn't listened to your nonsense, I'd be swimming on a Martian beach right now!"

Zhang Beihai struggled desperately, "Boss, please don't get so agitated! Being appreciated by the leadership is a good thing! You should be happy, not angry!"

"I just want to coast through my workday and retire, okay? Nobody wants to work themselves to death!"

"I'd be happy to keep doing this until I'm old!"

"You're such a corporate slave!"

"Being a corporate slave is a compliment to me!"

After a brief scuffle, Zhang Beihai, eager to try his luck, said, "Boss, your retirement has been delayed, so do you have a new assignment? Take me with you!"

"Don't worry, you'll definitely be there!" Cui Puling said, looking up without tears. "This new mission is to be your deputy."

Zhang Beikaido: "I'm going to be the captain? Really?"

Cui Puling said, "It's true! I can also tell you that you're no longer a temporary worker; you're now a commander of the Inner Court. Your only superior is your student's nephew, the Grand Commander of the Inner Court, Gai Nie! And you have the privilege of directly reporting crucial intelligence to the King!"

Zhang Beihai was visibly excited and kowtowed, saying, "Heaven above, long live the King! Your subject is willing to go through fire and water for the Great Qin!"

Zhang Beihai quickly added, "By the way, what will happen to my nephew Zhang Han now that we're gone?"

Cui Puling's lips curled into a smile. "Let me tell you a secret. Recently, on the far side of the moon, the Great Qin Dynasty has started an industry called the 'Walking the World Foundation.' Those who can get in are all elites from the seven kingdoms and masters from the Hundred Schools of Thought! Their futures are incredibly bright! Even Prince Huhai of the Great Qin Dynasty got in! And that Mr. Qi Tian inside is an incredibly powerful individual!"

"Given your relationship with Qin Feng, it wouldn't be difficult to get your nephew into this foundation through connections. Once he's in, he'll have no worries about food or drink, and no one will dare to bully him! If he's lucky enough to catch Mr. Qi's eye and learn a trick or two from him, your nephew will be set for life!"

Zhang Beihai slapped his thigh. "That's right! Thank you, Cui Puling, for pointing that out! If Zhang Han can infiltrate the foundation of the Seven Kingdoms' elites, it means he can make connections with a huge elite circle, and my nephew won't be from a humble background like me! Brilliant!"

Immediately, Zhang Beihai walked over to the children who were fighting together, picked out the one with the most fierce fighting head and shoulders, and started picking up the child's tattered clothes while cursing him incessantly.

"Zhang Han, you brat! Get back here!"

"I just got beaten up, and you were clapping along?"

"You little rascal, pack your bags. You're leaving today. Your uncle will take you to a great place! You'll eat well, drink well, and have fun!"

Zhang Han wiped the dust off his face and said smugly, "Alright! Wherever Uncle goes, I'll go!"

Happy New Year, everyone! To celebrate the New Year, there will be a massive update!

Starting January 1st, a massive update schedule begins, starting with 20,000 words, for seven consecutive days!
