Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 406 - 205: Honorary Governor, Xu Wanfeng’s Choice

Chapter 406: Chapter 205: Honorary Governor, Xu Wanfeng’s Choice

Including himself, there were a total of ten people present.

Once Lin Feng took his seat, the First Seat, Lord Bishop, was the first to speak:

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin Feng for successfully becoming the tenth Tier Two Evolver in Oasis Town!"

"Next, regarding the proposal of Lin Feng as an Honorary Governor, please raise your hands to vote."

As soon as Zhang Hui finished speaking, everyone immediately expressed their stance, and unsurprisingly, all agreed.

Because the Honorary Governor is merely a symbolic title, power can only be exercised when there are no other governors on the Oasis Battleship.

Or when a parliamentary review cannot form a majority to pass a resolution, an opinion can be expressed.

Equivalent to a substitute for the Official Governor.

After passing this proposal, a secretary dressed in a fitted black suit promptly delivered an agreement to Lin Feng.

On the cover of the agreement, it was written "Honorary Governor Appointment Letter," with two copies in total.

Lin Feng flipped through them, finding introductions to the rights and duties of a governor, along with responsibilities, etc.

Ultimately, it also needed to be documented and sent to the Holy City for filing, as nominally Oasis Town belongs to the Holy City, but after years of departure, it became an autonomous area.

However, personnel appointments still needed to be understood by the Holy City, especially the most crucial water source of Oasis Town, which remained firmly controlled by the Holy City.

The latter hoped to exacerbate the conflict between Zhang Hui and the Li Family, creating a situation where both parties suffer, to smoothly take over Oasis Town without expending more energy and cost in removing the entrenched network of relationships.

After all, Oasis Town is remote and extremely isolated.

If entirely taken over, future deceitful inner conflicts are inevitable, or the use of forceful measures leading to mutual destruction might result.

Although the Holy City has absolute military strength, the latter could fight tooth and nail, directly destroying the Oasis Battleship.

For the diocese of the Holy City, the real difficult person isn’t the local Li Family clans but the actual steward of Oasis, Bishop Zhang Hui, who was defeated in the election eight hundred years ago.

If Lin Feng could help the Church solve this big problem, successfully handing over an intact Oasis Town, he would undoubtedly benefit.

However, currently, it seems the intention of Lord Bishop is to have Father Su An take charge, receive the greatest reward, and then use the current Honorary Governor identity to be officially promoted to Deputy Mayor through due process.

By then, the local families would have to accept it; some would die, some would flee, and the Oasis Town, including tens of thousands of Deserters nearby, would fall under Church rule, becoming slaves.

As one of the prominent contributors, Lin Feng’s smooth promotional transfer away is quite normal too.

After all, the Holy City’s ultimate goal is a complete takeover without external interference.

Having read through all the terms and content, Lin Feng then signs his name, officially becoming an Honorary Governor within Oasis Town.

Apart from the nine people present, he then held the highest visible status.

The two copies of the agreement were subsequently taken away by the secretary, leaving Lin Feng one appointment letter, stamped with Oasis Town’s seal and the Church’s emblem mark.

It is a symbol of identity.

With it, even if Lin Feng goes to the Holy City, he won’t be obstructed or harassed by guards; instead, he would be received by the local stewards.

After securing the appointment letter, the meeting continued.

The next discussion point was the focus of this meeting, regarding the ownership of the Oasis Key.

This matter ought not to be placed directly in the open.

Especially since the Oasis Church is in a state of external strength and internal weakness, it should demonstrate strong resolve.

However, the First Seat Bishop has already made a decision, claiming his old age as the reason to quickly decide the next steward of Oasis:

"To ensure fair and impartial selection and gain everyone’s conviction, I have decided to select the strongest among us through martial contest, to lead Oasis Town forward."

Saying this, Zhang Hui glanced at Xu Wanfeng to his left.

The Hunting Wilderness Guild President is ranked as the third figure in Oasis Town, second only to the Church Bishop and the Patriarch Li. Although the arena martial contest wasn’t pre-discussed with her, moving forward smoothly also required her support.

The Guild has always maintained a neutral stance but still stands on the weak side, maintaining the superficial balance of the three forces.

Just like the early days of Oasis Town, the Guild had close ties with local big families like the Li Family.

Even when the Li Family and the other Three Villages couldn’t bear the long-distance transport of heavy truck transporters, many transport needs relied on borrowing the Guild’s transport vehicles.

Subsequently, the Li Family proposed marriage to Xu Wanshuang, Xu Wanfeng’s sister and the current Vice President of the Guild.

However, at that time, the Li Family’s Yan Jiao Horse Industry was already on track, the leader of Mechanical Village successfully advanced to Tier Two, and Dawn Village was completed...

The Three Villages united were enough to counter the Holy Spring Sect.

Therefore, using the Guild’s independence as an excuse, they refused the other’s marriage cooperation.

Afterwards, as the steward of Oasis Church, Bishop Zhang Hui grew older, and with constant attempts by the Holy City to test and divide his power...

The Hunting Wilderness Guild stood with the Oasis Church, advancing and retreating together, facing pressure from the Li Family people.

And the reason for recurrent shifts was none other than to protect its own interests, maintaining stability in Oasis Town, so that the Guild, which has no roots, can continue developing.

Now, Lord Bishop wants to reduce the intensity of the rebellion and isolate the turmoil to the upper levels, using martial contest to resolve disputes...

This is certainly desirable for Xu Wanfeng.

After all, once it’s over, everything will return to normal.
