Chapter 242: Explanation from Zhang Bo

Shen Mu still remembered that Zhang Bo's Magic Crystal Ball could detect the surrounding situation.

"Oh, it's like this, Respected Lord Shen Mu, my Magic Crystal Ball is still accumulating its magic power," Zhang Bo paused slightly, stood still, his face unchanged, and still with a smile, he bowed to Shen Mu and replied, "And now it has completed some magic condensation, perhaps in two or three days it can initially restore some of its functions."

"It can already restore some functions? This is really good, I look forward to the help it can bring once it's fully restored," Shen Mu was a little surprised and pleased.

After all, his Magic Crystal Ball originally needed a large amount of spiritual realm mark fragments to be restored, and although Shen Mu had recently found some spiritual realm mark fragments, he had not given them all to Zhang Bo for him to repair this Magic Crystal Ball.

Now, unexpectedly, Zhang Bo said that some magic had already gathered, and it could restore some functions, which was indeed a pleasant surprise.

"Respected Lord Shen Mu, but if you want to restore full functionality, it is still impossible to do so now; it has only restored some of the most basic functions, such as sensing some magic fluctuations, and it's still a very short-range sensing, unlike before when it could sense extremely subtle magic fluctuations within several kilometers," Zhang Bo explained.

"That's still good, very good," Shen Mu nodded, expressing his approval, as not much time had passed, and it was already able to sense again.

If time continued to pass, allowing this Magic Crystal Ball to absorb more spiritual realm mark fragments and restore more functions, then it was obvious that its functions would return to their original state.

He knew very well how much profit the Diesel Company had gained by using the reconnaissance function of this Magic Crystal Ball at that time.

One must know that at that time, in any area of Long City, as long as there was a subtle fluctuation of spiritual realm mark fragments, it would attract personnel from the Diesel Company.

The reason why his predecessor committed suicide in such a frustrated manner was because he had obtained a complete spiritual realm mark inheritance at that time.

But before he could absorb it, just as he arrived there, he was blocked by the people from the Diesel Company.

If his predecessor had obtained that complete spiritual realm mark inheritance, he would very likely have become a Spiritual Realm Commander.

He would have been able to escape the identity of a Blue Star Human.

This was a good thing, one must know that for people now, being a male human meant being at the very bottom. They were the lowest level, directly threatened and oppressed by the death spirit rules, like lambs with no ability to resist.

And those Undead Monsters under the death spirit rules were truly terrifying monsters.

A slight carelessness would result in being torn to pieces.

Their end was extremely tragic.

This was also why Shen Mu's predecessor committed suicide in such a frustrated manner, because when he saw hope and grasped a life-saving straw, he didn't expect to be directly thrown back to the bottom by the Diesel Company, facing the tragic end of being in constant danger of death at any moment. It was better to commit suicide directly to avoid further torment.

Now, Shen Mu could understand it upon reflection; if he hadn't transmigrated and awakened the Mount & Blade World, then life in this world would indeed be quite tragic.

But it didn't matter, after all, the Diesel Company had been extinguished by him, which also meant it was destroyed by himself, brought about by his predecessor.

It also meant that the two of them jointly eliminated the Diesel Company.

"Respected Lord Shen Mu? If there's nothing else, please allow me to leave," Zhang Bo looked at Shen Mu, who was slightly lost in thought, and still respectfully bowed, asking to leave.

"Alright, you may leave," Shen Mu nodded, also coming back to his senses, and smiled at Zhang Bo, saying, "It seems I've been too busy lately, always getting lost in thought now and then."

"Your responsibility is great, Respected Lord Shen Mu, this is you thinking for us," Zhang Bo complimented him, then smiled, bowed, and turned to leave.

However, as soon as he left the Noble Residence, the smile on Zhang Bo's face immediately disappeared, returning to his previous expressionless, stern look.

Outside, the middle-level managers, the 20 Blue Star Humans he had brought, were still waiting for him to come out.

Seeing Zhang Bo emerge, they immediately gathered around him.

"Brother Zhang Bo is out, Brother Zhang Bo is out."

"Thank you so much, Brother Zhang Bo, we have all become Spiritual Realm Commanders, and we all have our Spiritual Realm Followers. We are truly grateful to Brother Zhang Bo for giving us this opportunity."

"Yes, thank you very much, Brother Zhang Bo, we really didn't expect that we would one day be able to become Spiritual Realm Commanders."

"Brother Zhang Bo, from now on, whatever you say, if you need anything, just give us a shout, we are willing to do anything for you."

"Exactly, Brother Zhang Bo, you are our reborn parents! You are our benefactor, we are truly so grateful to you."

"That's right, Brother Zhang Bo, you are our reborn parents! You are our benefactor!"

These Blue Star Humans looked at Zhang Bo with extreme fanaticism and admiration.

After all, before, they hadn't thought they would be chosen, as Zhang Bo had directly named them to participate, which meant that it was actually Zhang Bo's decision to make them Spiritual Realm Commanders.

They all understood what this represented. Although it was Shen Mu who operated the process of making them Spiritual Realm Commanders.

But Shen Mu was truly high above, the absolute ruler at the very top for them.

Because he was so high above and too far from them, they knew that Shen Mu didn't care who became a Spiritual Realm Commander.

As long as a Blue Star Human appeared before him, they would be bestowed the title of Spiritual Realm Commander.

But Zhang Bo, who was in front of them, was different.

It was precisely because of Zhang Bo's choice that they could become Spiritual Realm Commanders; this was an absolute and significant power that they could directly interact with.

And he was truly their benefactor.

After all, Zhang Bo could have chosen others, but he didn't. He chose them directly because they had a good relationship with Zhang Bo in their daily lives and had made themselves familiar to him, which is why they were chosen from hundreds of middle-level managers.

If they couldn't thank Zhang Bo, then who could they thank?

If another senior manager with whom they had a poor relationship were to choose middle-level managers to be promoted to Blue Star Humans, then they would certainly not be chosen. These middle-level managers understood very clearly why they could become middle-level managers.

They all had cultivated the ability to think.

And they could see through the essence of things.

Therefore, now they came one by one to Zhang Bo, constantly speaking. Their flattery was also because they knew that after becoming Spiritual Realm Commanders, they would need to stand by Zhang Bo's side to maintain a better familiarity.

After all, who didn't know that Zhang Bo had a very good relationship with Director Zhang Caidong, the Blue Star Human manager, basically acting as another deputy manager?

In fact, Zhang Bo's power was even greater than that of the true deputy manager, Sun Zhiru.

Look, now they had become Spiritual Realm Commanders because of Zhang Bo's recommendation.

And Zhang Bo now held the greatest power to decide who could become a Spiritual Realm Commander.

This power was not ordinary.

"Alright, stop talking about these things. Your ability to become Spiritual Realm Commanders is due to your own excellence. I don't need to say more here. You will now go find Director Zhang Caidong. He will arrange appropriate work for you. At that time, take your Spiritual Realm Followers and quickly shed your current civilian status, making them Spiritual Realm Recruits. This way, you will have higher combat power."

Zhang Bo, with little expression, still spoke indifferently and very humbly, pushing all the credit onto Zhang Caidong.

It was as if Zhang Caidong was the one who promoted these middle-level managers to become Spiritual Realm Commanders.

And his attitude was also quite good.

This further drew the fervent support of these middle-level managers, and their gaze towards Zhang Bo was filled with gratitude.

"Alright, let's stop here. You go find Director Zhang Caidong," Zhang Bo smiled and waved them away. "I still have other work to do, so I won't continue to chat with you. Director Zhang Caidong will lead you to a better future."

"Understood, understood, thank you, Brother Zhang Bo," these Blue Star Humans then gratefully bowed and left together.

After watching them leave, Zhang Bo turned and walked towards his town house.

He indeed had work to do.

And his work was to destroy Deherim.

Arriving at his town house, the little monsters who had already received his instructions had already wrapped the Magic Crystal Ball in a package and placed it in a backpack.

Seeing Zhang Bo approach, they quickly and respectfully extended their hands, handing the backpack to Zhang Bo.

"Is everything ready?" Zhang Bo asked, and his hand holding the backpack felt heavy.

"Everything is ready, everything is ready, Respected Mage," the little monsters replied in hoarse, sharp voices.

"Very good," Zhang Bo put on the backpack, then turned and left the town house.

"Mage, do you still need us to follow you?" the little monsters asked.

"No need, you just stay here and guard the house," Zhang Bo certainly wouldn't bring these little monsters. After all, bringing them would make him too conspicuous, and for him, these little monsters were not very helpful; they could only provide daily services, but they were relatively weak in terms of reconnaissance, combat, and transportation.

It was better for them to wait for him here.

So Zhang Bo left the town house alone and also left Deherim. However, as he left the Deherim city gate, he noticed that the Lingjie Human Race named Manid was exploring the area outside.

Many Spiritual Realm soldiers followed him, as if they were discussing something, and he was holding a quill pen, writing and drawing on a parchment scroll.

However, even if Zhang Bo was curious, he couldn't go and investigate.

Because he and that Lingjie Human Race named Manid would not pay attention to Blue Star Humans like them, and even Director Zhang Caidong, as the manager, could not even speak to the generals and officials among the Lingjie Human Race.

It was as if they were two distinct operating systems, separated by a clear boundary.

They simply did not interact with each other.

Therefore, Zhang Bo would not seek discomfort now. After all, he could imagine that if he tried to get close, those Spiritual Realm soldiers would immediately raise their weapons and tell him to retreat, not allowing him any chance to approach. Moreover, even Manid would only glance at him and not speak to him at all.

Zhang Bo would not do anything that would make him uncomfortable.

Furthermore, Deherim was about to be destroyed according to his plan. At that time, even if these Lingjie Human Race were arrogant, for him, their tragic fate of dying in battle and becoming corpses meant that even if they were arrogant now, what did it matter?

They would all die sooner or later.

Zhang Bo didn't want to get too entangled with dead people.

So he came to an apartment building nearby, and also to the safe house in the ground floor commercial unit of the apartment.

Inside, two Blue Star Humans, Spiritual Realm Commanders from the Wood Elf Village, were already waiting there.

"Bo Ge," they both greeted Zhang Bo respectfully when they saw him approach.

"Mm, I'm relieved that you two are here. You two are the most clever and reliable in handling affairs," Zhang Bo nodded, then handed his backpack to one of them, and instructed, "You must complete the modification of this Magic Crystal Ball within three days, otherwise, I'm afraid Deherim will discover something, and that would be bad."

"Understood, Bo Ge, we're leaving now," the two Spiritual Realm Commanders nodded, immediately picked up the backpack, and led their Wood Elf Followers away from the place.

Just as they said, they would go quickly and return quickly, finishing the task as soon as possible.

After all, they also understood that if they could finish these tasks quickly, it would also be a good thing for them.

The most important thing for the Wood Elf Village to destroy all of Deherim was a surprise attack.

They were all trusted subordinates of Director Yang.

So they understood the importance of time.

As long as they caught Deherim off guard, then Bali River Street would only be left with their Green Leaf Group. At that time, after absorbing a lot of mental energy from the Blue Star Humans, their Wood Elf Village and their Green Leaf Group would develop faster and grow stronger.

And as trusted subordinates, they would also receive better treatment.

Therefore, they were really looking forward to the plan proceeding quickly, so they could also get a share of the fat and a sip of the broth with Director Yang.
