Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 447 - 442: Beijing Training Camp (Part 20)

Chapter 447: Chapter 442: Beijing Training Camp (Part 20)

"Also, I am Ji Ning, not a puppet or a substitute for anyone. Do those three families still want me to be a puppet? You ask Fu Ninghao, Li Wenxin, Ye Xingming, would they dare?"

Ji Ning was extremely angry, not knowing whether it was because the three families had kept her identity hidden so well, or because of these arrogant people in front of her, who placed themselves in the position of high and mighty rule-makers, trampling on others’ dignity at will.

Even during chaotic times, she was not as arrogant as they are.

However, after over a hundred years of stability, relying on the grace of their ancestors, aren’t they afraid of their ancestors rising at midnight to overturn the coffin lid?

The pupils of the family representatives across from her were shaken, their faces full of intense fear.

None of them were not shocked into speechlessness, their minds blank.

When she called them to set rules, their parents hadn’t even been reincarnated?

What does it mean that she is Ji Ning, not someone’s substitute?

What does it mean that the three families wouldn’t dare to make her a puppet?

How come their minds are not turning, as if they are experiencing auditory hallucinations?

Ji Ning also didn’t want to waste words with the representatives, snapped her fingers, and impatiently pointed towards the door: "Let your Family Head come over."

The few representatives trembled in their legs, looking like they might collapse if they didn’t hold onto the table, surprising several students who had just awoken.

"Uncle, what’s wrong with you?"

"Third Uncle, are you okay?"

"Third Uncle, Third Uncle, what’s happening?"

The student who noticed their Third Uncle’s abnormal state anxiously shook his shoulder and turned to Ji Ning, "Teacher Ji, what’s wrong with my Third Uncle?"

Ji Ning, expressionless, glanced at the man already lost in his own spiritual world, then looked at the family representatives supported by their juniors, coldly said: "He’s just collected interest in advance."

Several family representatives’ legs went weak, nearly kneeling on the ground.

Ji Ning’s identity grew even more mysterious as the family representatives returned home.

Some said that a deceased person had returned; others said she was a descendant, and still others claimed she was a new generation superpower user with unfathomable strength.

The heads of more than a dozen families in Beijing dared not be careless, all rushing to the suburbs of Beijing. Even the noble families from other regions dispatched private planes to Beijing.

The face of the training camp director was numb from smiling, hosting groups from morning till night without pause.

After three or four days of hospitality, the students’ intensive training was almost over.

With Ji Ning requisitioning his office, the director worked remotely for several days.

The online public opinion continued to ferment, even as they personally went to Beijing to seek Ji Ning, ask the three families for favors, the turmoil showed no signs of stopping.

Outmatched in combat and losing in the online public opinion battles against hackers wielding power.

Some even contacted the Ji Family Army Left Wing high-levels hoping to influence Smart Brain authority, only to be rejected by Smart Brain.

The reason being [Commander’s order, no one has the right to change instructions].

Since when has the Commander returned?

Could it be that the puppet truly became recognized as master by Smart Brain?

Or is Ji Ning actually the Commander herself?

This... How could this be possible?

The families associated with the Ji Family Army Left Wing forces were incredulous and utterly despaired.

Following a series of operations, they finally gave up completely, forced to cut losses to survive.

Several consecutive days of news featured officials under investigation or businesses changing leaders, with nearly all involved families swapping Family Heads.

The Huazhou Alliance underwent major changes internally, with the three families taking advantage to fill key positions with their members, significantly suppressing other forces.

Ji Ning turned a blind eye to this, pretending not to notice.

Only the Feng Family managed to enter the inner city through some association with Ji Ning, the Feng Family Head becoming a Vice President at a semi-official, semi-private association under the Tourism and Culture Bureau.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaotang’s brother directly entered the Huazhou Alliance, becoming a corporate representative as a member of parliament.

And several seemingly ordinary civil servants quietly received promotions.

The number of such individuals is quite substantial...

***

The week-long intensive training smoothly concluded amid the external excitement.

Every student, whether ordinary or a superpower student, showed significant progress.

The students at Anhe Middle School improved both their physique and spiritual power, with physique generally increasing by 2-3 levels, and spiritual power by 1 level.

Notably, more ordinary individuals reached dual-A level and above, including Xu Jiaying, Hu Lingling, Yan Song, and You Le, especially Xu Jiaying, whose spiritual power had reached the S-Class threshold, becoming S-Class when fully unleashed.

You Le, besides her SS-level physique, also broke through to A1 level in spiritual power, now just one step away from awakening superpower.

Ji Ning believed she lacked certain stimulation, which perhaps during official competition might lead to awakening.

Among the superpower students, Lin Yuanyang was categorized by the organizers as a superpower user, with his reported ability being Control Ability, capable of controlling fiber optic transmission materials, but he awakened dual-system abilities, also able to control electromagnetic waves.

The mechanical limbs of Bai Yulin were previously disabled by altering the frequency of electromagnetic waves connecting his body chips and Smart Brain remotely, issuing incorrect instructions.

This time, online public opinion war, the endlessly regenerated accounts, were deleted using his superpower.

So, Lin Yuanyang already transitioned from a small medicine jar to a powerful weapon, an ace team member held by Ji Ning.

Other two superpower students, Yao Meng and Wang Hao, advanced in superpower level, Yao Meng under the guidance of video and occasional pointers from Ji Hong, successfully upgraded to Fifth Rank superpower user, and Wang Hao under the abnormal training repeatedly, broke through to the Fourth Rank.

Students from other schools also showed considerable improvement, eagerly looking forward to the official competition arrival.

The atmosphere between schools grew tense daily, even causing minor frictions during the last two days of intensive training, but students from Anhe Middle School didn’t feel this.

As every school’s student acted very friendly towards them, no matter the acquaintance, greetings were exchanged, speaking progressed from polite to familiar, with students discreetly asking about Anhe Middle School’s transfer circumstances.

Everyone was puzzled, except Bai Xiaotang and Wu Muzhe, who vaguely guessed some reasons from attending that meeting.

Lin Yuanyang, involved from the start, understood students’ intentions very well.

It was nothing but wanting to get in good terms with them, to cozy up to Ji Ning and strengthen relations.

But wasn’t it too late to cozy up now?

Back when secretly targeting Ji Ning, these families pulled numerous tricks.

...

The official competition took place three days after the intensive training ended, right at the training camp.

Beijing school’s teachers and students, living nearby, could return home, but for those from outside regions, both students and teachers stayed at the training camp for the two days given for free activities.

This made Anhe Middle School students, confined for a week, incredibly happy.

They all planned to explore the city, especially Hu Lingling, Ma Shanshan, and a few others successfully developed as Ai Ning Team members by Bai Xiaotang, were determined to see the statue.

Thus, model brother Bai Yusen once again utilized the power of money, arranging a luxury RV tour for Anhe Middle School’s teachers and students, featuring round-trip transportation and guided explanations, professional photography.

This had teachers and students from other schools green with envy, all asking Anhe Middle School’s principal how to book such a tour, eager to explore the city for two days.
