Chapter 275: Chapter 274 A Message

“Since the Military Department has given you the title of Marshal, I cannot be stingy. From now on, you will be the fifth Vice President of our Potion Guild. Once you officially join the Potion Guild, you will have all the powers associated with the position of Vice President.” Shui Yao gave Guan Xinxiong a sidelong glance, seemingly warning him not to mess around.

“Vice President of the Potion Guild!?”

The entire crowd was again shocked; they were sure they must be dreaming today.

Even if the Vice President of the Potion Guild and the Military Department’s Marshal were titles without real power, they were not titles that ordinary people could hold. And Wang Hao was only seventeen today, one could clearly see that his future was absolutely a path straight to heaven.

Le Xuan and others were staring at Wang Hao, dumbfounded, finding that this fellow had already become invincible.

There were only five great powers in the entire Interstellar Federation, yet not only was he the second-largest shareholder of the Skyfire Company; a Marshal of the Military Department with the power to recruit his own subordinates; but he was also the Vice President of the Potion Guild.

This capability that spanned across three major powers seemed unprecedented in the history of the Interstellar Federation development, right!? It was hard not to write the word “admiration” for him!

Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao, the two underlings, were so excited they could hardly wait to worship Wang Hao immediately, because as long as they kept close to Wang Hao’s footsteps, hugged Wang Hao’s thigh tightly, their lives were destined to be above others.

Ling Xiao sighed. He had intended to pull Wang Hao into the President’s Office, but now it seemed impossible.

Commander Guan Xinxiong’s face was cold, indicating he was in a very bad mood.

He gave Wang Hao the title of Fifth Marshal with the idea of bringing Wang Hao under his command, to have Wang Hao work for him.

But now Shui Yao gave Wang Hao a position as the Vice President of the Potion Guild and indicated that once Wang Hao went to the Potion Guild, he would be a Vice President with real power.

This was clearly stating that if Wang Hao was unhappy as a Marshal in the Military Department, he could just return to the Potion Guild to be the Vice President.

Moreover, this position of Vice President was in no way inferior to that of a Marshal and even came with real power, infinitely stronger than the mere title of Marshal.

“If that’s the case, then Wang Hao’s title of Marshal will forever be just a title; I can’t give him a single soldier, not even military funds.” Guan Xinxiong gave a cold laugh, originally planning to slowly subdue Wang Hao, to use him for his purposes.

But with the current situation, he expressed he couldn’t keep Wang Hao, so why bother giving him soldiers!? Just give him the title of Marshal and leave him to play on his own!

Moreover, from the very beginning, he never intended to let Wang Hao be a real Marshal; at most, his forces would number a million soldiers, but their combat strength was certainly not comparable to the four top Ace Armies.

Because the four top Ace Armies of the Military Department were directly led by the high nobles of the Federation, it was absolutely impossible for Wang Hao to command one, and he certainly would not allow something like Wang Tianyi commanding a super Ace Army to happen again.

After explaining, Shui Yao left with Bing Qiao, her face full of disappointment.

Qiu Dong gave Guan Xinxiong a glance, and immediately knew what this old man was scheming, then whispered to Wang Hao, “Little brother, you may have gotten the short end of the stick on this deal.”

Wang Hao smiled faintly, “Who loses and who earns, it’s a bit early to say that now. Besides, don’t I still have the power to recruit my own soldiers?”

Qiu Dong shook his head, indicating that this power to autonomously recruit soldiers was utterly useless.

One must know that in the Interstellar Federation, there are tens of thousands of military regions large and small, with the total number of soldiers amounting to several tens of billions.

But there are only four top-level Ace Armies, and each army only recruits one million soldiers, totaling four million soldiers. They are the cream of the crop, the elite among the elite, with absolutely terrifying combat strength.

Even if Wang Hao had the power to autonomously recruit soldiers, where would he find these kinds of elite soldiers?

If he couldn’t recruit such elite soldiers, his marshalship would have been nothing more than a display, incapable of forming any real fighting force.

And the weapons for the soldiers, how many could he provide?

Even though he was the second largest shareholder of Skyfire Company, and could barely supply weapons for the soldiers, what about the daily training expenses and military costs?

As for asking Marshal Guan Xinxiong for help, he didn’t even need to think about it; he could only laugh it off.

“I’m telling you, you should just go and be the vice president of the Potion Guild,” advised Qiu Dong.

Wang Hao curled his lip, “I don’t want to hide in a lab every day, when it’s so much cooler to be leading the pack!”

“Cough cough…”

Qiu Dong was instantly choked up by the response. Surely this brat wasn’t thinking of recruiting a million thugs and running a criminal organization?

“Wang Hao, I heard you even got your hands on a Level 5 Giant Mecha from the Yao Tian Federation!?” Qiu Linghan came over and asked in a low voice.

Wang Hao nodded, “Not just a Level 5 Giant Mecha, but also fifty Level 4 Mechas.”

Qiu Linghan’s eyes lit up instantly, “If you hand these Mechas over to the company for research, then I can give you a piece of important information.”

“What important information?” Wang Hao asked curiously.

Qiu Linghan leaned in and whispered into Wang Hao’s ear, “About an ancient relic.”

“Ancient relics!!” Wang Hao’s pupils suddenly constricted, and his breathing became rapid.

If he remembered correctly, millions of years ago, humanity possessed an unmatched brilliant civilization and dominated countless star systems, conquering numerous races in the universe.

Yet, for unknown reasons, it seemed like human civilization was destroyed overnight, with only the humans on Earth surviving.

If humankind hadn’t ventured out from Earth and discovered those ancient relics, they wouldn’t have even known about their past glory.

And among these ancient relics, a peculiar type of crystal often appeared, which modern people called the Inheritance Crystal.

Once one absorbed the energy within the Inheritance Crystal, any individual above the level of Martial King would be able to have a second attribute True Qi. Moreover, the two attributes of True Qi could complement each other, unleashing an even greater energy.

For example, the combination of fire and wind could form a Fire Tornado; lightning and fire could fuse to become Lightning Fire; ice and wind could create an Ice Storm… In short, the power of dual attributes was far stronger than just having one.

The reason those nobles within the interstellar federation were called nobility was precisely because their families owned Inheritance Crystals. The energy contained within allowed their descendants to continually absorb and possess dual attributes, their innate Attack Power was much stronger than that of the ordinary single-attribute commoners.

Of course, within the interstellar federation, it wasn’t impossible for commoners to access dual attributes.

If one demonstrated extraordinary talent, there was hope that the President’s office would take notice and enlist them as honored Presidential Guards. Then, with sufficient loyalty shown, they would be allowed to use an Inheritance Crystal and acquire dual attribute abilities.

The Presidential office dared to do this because they had the greatest number of Inheritance Crystals compared to the other major powers of the interstellar federation, capable of satisfying various individuals’ needs—it was something other powers tried but failed to replicate…
