Even though it was rushed, this was still a selection personally designated by Principal Qin. They had no choice but to accept it, no matter how dissatisfied they felt.
After all, the Mechanical Main City hadn't even started construction yet, and for them to clamor about replacing the principal would simply be a slap in Principal Qin's face.
They weren't so reckless as to try pulling off something like this!
However, with the principal's position finalized, the matter of the vice principal...
Just as the crowd was wondering about the details, hoping to secure a position, Qin Shou pointed at Su Liang and suddenly announced,
"Haha, I forgot to introduce—Mr. Su, as a pioneer of the mechanical system, is undoubtedly deserving of the vice principal position. Dear shareholders, any objections?"
"Absolutely not!"
Quan Zhqing immediately voiced his opposition.
"Qin Shou, the vice principal role is critical. How can it be decided so recklessly?"
Qin Shou glanced at Su Liang, who immediately straightened his back and coughed with purpose.
"Ahem, Mr. Quan, kindly watch your wording. Please address him as Principal Qin."
Quan Zhqing: "..."
Damn it! The Mechanical Main City hasn't even taken shape yet, and they're already throwing around their authority? Infuriating!
Qin Shou waved his hand dismissively, "Mr. Quan, the party with the highest points this time is the Long Family. Your Quan Family ranked fifth, so if you wish to oppose, you can only speak fifth."
As soon as he spoke, the crowd's gazes instinctively shifted toward Yan Yajun, who had been silent all this time.
Since Leng Xinlan and Yan Bo were absent, the responsibility fell to Leng Wanbai's fourth uncle, Yan Yajun.
Seeing all eyes on him, Yan Yajun could only toughen up and reply, "Mr. Quan's words make sense. The role of vice principal shouldn't be decided on a whim."
If Leng Xinlan or Yan Bo had been present, they would have likely hesitated, considering how not to embarrass Qin Shou.
But Yan Yajun wasn't familiar with Qin Shou. For the benefit of the Long Family, there was no need for hesitation.
Seeing this, the crowd quickly chimed in.
"Qin Shou... Principal Qin, you heard it. The Long Family believes the vice principal role can't be handled rashly. Fengshen Group thinks so too."
"That's right. Our Quan Family feels the same."
"Liao Zhai Group agrees as well and hopes Principal Qin will give it proper consideration..."
"Principal Qin, we urge you to act with fairness and justice, so as not to let us shareholders down..."
Everyone spoke up one after another, and the situation clearly tilted in favor of the various factional powers.
Unfazed, Qin Shou replied, "You all make valid points. How do you propose the vice principal position should be determined then?"
The crowd exchanged looks, each nodding slightly in agreement, before Quan Zhqing stepped forward with a smile and said, "Principal Qin, we don't oppose your nomination of Mr. Su. However, there should be a minimum standard of capability to match the dignity of the vice principal position for the Fourth Main City. Otherwise, it could be considered embarrassing if word gets out—don't you agree?"
After thoughtful consideration, his words were neither offensive to Qin Shou nor out of line with the crowd's concerns, steering clear of his previous aggressive tone.
Qin Shou appeared to ponder, nodding slightly. "Mr. Quan makes a valid point. Is this also everyone's opinion?" He scanned the room.
Naturally, no one objected. Everyone knew Su Liang's current strength—just an Unbreakable Realm Four Stars with exhausted potential. How strong could he possibly be after mechanization?
If he failed, they would have the perfect excuse to recommend their own candidate.
The vice principal position for the Fourth Main City offered astonishing influence.
Seeing their agreement, Qin Shou sighed lightly and said, "Alright, since you all feel this way, as principal, I can't overrule everyone's opinions."
He patted Su Liang's shoulder and said, "Mr. Su, this is as far as I can help you. From now on, it's all up to you."
Su Liang's cheek twitched slightly as he bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you, Qin Shou... Principal Qin. I... understand."
The saying goes, fortune's favor shifts its course...
But someone tell me—does it have to shift this fast?
A year ago, I was this kid's teacher.
And now... sigh!
Yet Su Liang was determined to secure the vice principal position—not only for Beast Cultivation Main City but also to repay this kid's heartfelt gesture.
The most crucial reason? Transitioning from a Beast Cultivation Main City teacher to Mechanical Main City's vice principal—without a doubt, a significant promotion!
A promotion, a pay raise, and reaching the peak of one's career!
Thinking of this, Su Liang's gaze instantly turned sharp.
"Crack crack..."
His mechanical body moved slightly, and Su Liang stepped forward, facing the crowd head-on.
"Everyone, what constitutes eligibility to assume the role of Mechanical Main City's vice principal?"
Quan Zhqing exchanged glances with the others, who subtly nodded in approval.
Nodding back in understanding, he turned to Su Liang with a smile and said, "No rush, Mr. Su. We are reasonable people.
Let's do this: I, an old man, still have some strength left. Let's have a match between you and me. If you win, I won't object to your appointment as Mechanical Main City's vice principal."
Among those in attendance, Quan Zhqing was the strongest, being an Unbreakable Realm Seven Stars.
If even Quan Zhqing lost, they would naturally have no further grounds to oppose—at least not for now.
In their minds, there was no way Su Liang, an Unbreakable Realm Four Stars, could defeat him.
Their request wasn't overly demanding; it could even be seen as a sign of respect toward Qin Shou.
Su Liang saw the contempt in everyone's eyes and smirked coldly internally, agreeing immediately.
"Alright, I accept."
Quan Zhqing smiled heartily, "Haha, great! Let's not delay—let's begin now!"
With that, he lightly tapped his Space Wristwatch. In the high sky, a Space Gate appeared, releasing densely concentrated nuclear energy that surged like an overwhelming black cloud.
"Rumble..."
Within the black cloud, brilliant sapphire lightning flickered incessantly as a deep, savage roar exploded, echoing throughout the sky.
"Roar..."
From within the black cloud, a fearsome Dragon Head, adorned with intricate sapphire patterns, slowly emerged.
As the dragon's roar resounded, the ground was instantly swept by flying dust and debris, while whirlwinds rose in cyclones from flat surfaces.
"Boom..."
Soon after, a pair of massive sapphire wings, spanning 300 meters, unfurled; razor-sharp claws churned through the black cloud like the descent of a legendary demonic dragon.
