The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

Chapter 151 Congratulations, Old Wang!

Zhou Ye was taken aback at first, but then realized that they were his own people, and happily hugged them back.

"Yes, yes, this is really great!" Zhou Ye exclaimed amidst the cheers of the lively crowd.

Li Can slapped Wang Defa on the back of the head. "Old Wang, why aren't you smiling? What's on your mind?"

Wang Defa covered his head with one hand, speechless, but his expression immediately returned to normal, adopting the obsequious look that everyone was familiar with.

"I'm so shocked, hahaha, how could I not be happy, hahaha..." He chuckled dryly, his throat gurgling as if a range hood was stuck in his throat.

Yang Mo and others surrounded Feng Tian and A Zhu, who were standing on the back of the trailer displaying the preliminary aircraft device.

A large group of people marched from the street to the end.

"Clang!" The sound of a gong being struck echoed near the top of a person's head.

After passing by the sight of Li Can and the other two embracing, Feng Tian stopped the car temporarily to talk.

"Come on, everyone, please pay attention to these people in front. This is Mr. Xing Dazhuang, the great hero who helped us successfully face the crisis and find a solution!"

"And...his allies on both sides!"

"Where's the applause?! Let's all thank Xing Dazhuang and his family and friends for their tremendous support!"

It was daytime, but powerful spotlights were installed on the trailer to showcase the details of the device. As soon as Feng Tian finished speaking, the spotlights shifted and aimed at Zhou Ye and Wang Defa, who were embracing Li Can.

The group immediately felt enveloped in warmth and heat.

Once the onlookers could clearly see the faces of the people, enthusiastic applause erupted, the sound continuous and resounding like a wave.

"Splash splash splash..."

Feng Tian turned around and rummaged through a cardboard box in the corner of the trailer, finding a gold trophy engraved with the name "Xing Dazhuang" and the honorary title it represented: "Ambassador for Friendly Exchanges between the Two Cities".

She walked down the steps that had been set up on the trailer with great solemnity and handed the solidly made gold trophy to Li Can.

Li Can seemed quite shocked. He quickly took the item and then casually put it into Wang Defa's arms.

Because Feng Tian then handed him another microphone, their current scene was being broadcast live on the large screen directly above the four city gates in the east, west, south, and north.

There were many residents who had heard the good news and came to visit. People from both the upper and lower towns were mixed together, and now everyone was dirty. Without careful observation, it was impossible to tell who was who and what race they were.

"Today, with great excitement, we present Mr. Xing Dazhuang with the title of Ambassador for Friendship Exchange between the two cities." Feng Tian said into the camera, her voice trembling as she held her microphone.

The backdrop behind her shows Wang Defa, Zhou Ye, and Li Can, who were temporarily held in place.

"Although Mr. Xing Dazhuang is from Xiacheng, it does not prevent him from loving all of us humans. In his eyes, we are all equal. He does not hold grudges and stands up to lend a helping hand when humanity is facing a life-or-death crisis."

"They made a miraculous comeback for us in saving the city!"

"Here, we not only want to bestow upon Mr. Xing Dazhuang the title of Ambassador, but also grant him certain real power and material rewards! We cannot let a hero be disheartened."

"Therefore, Xing Dazhuang is hereby appointed to the highest-ranking military officer position between the two cities at the New City Lord's Mansion!"

While suppressing her laughter, Feng Tian finally finished delivering her lines, turned around, and faced Li Can and the others who were already prepared for the interview.

"Hello, Mr. Xing Dazhuang, what are your thoughts on the honors you have received after making such a tremendous contribution to saving all of humanity?"

"Now you are asked to choose a few of your closest friends and family members to receive the award with you. Who would you choose?"

"We still have at least three positions here, which you can freely assign your own people to fill."

"They are: the deputy commander of the upper city guard, the chief commander of the lower city guard, and the deputy director of the research institute who was responsible for breaking through the dark particle device this time."

Li Can silently held up the microphone and began to launch into a long, rambling discourse on the above thoughts.

His own primary and secondary perspectives had long since switched to that of the puppet vulture.

As he spoke, he secretly observed Wang Defa's expression.

When it was finally time for him to announce the candidates and assign positions, with each name he announced, he would unconsciously hug the golden trophy that Li Can had stuffed into his arms, each time with a little more force.

He was clearly nervous and expectant.

At this moment, Wang Defa's entire attention was focused on the selection of the last person for the position.

Li Can gave the first two spots to Zhou Ye and Li Lan respectively.

Unbeknownst to Wang Defa, the golden trophy he was holding held a secret: its invisible coating was specially made for him.

Once a person comes into contact with it, it cannot be removed without a professional cleaning solution.

Under specific lighting conditions, traces of objects he has touched will become visible on his body.

Furthermore, it reacts with an air spray, enabling direct tracking via residual odor.

In the initial planning, Li Can had instructed everyone: "Watch my actions. Whoever I put the trophy in is the suspect."

The interview with Li Can is still ongoing.

Feng Tian: "So, who will get the last spot?"

Li Can turned to look at Wang Defa, grabbed his sleeve, and pointed it at the camera so that everyone could see his face clearly, including every detail of every hair on his face.

"Of course, it's our Old Wang!" A very serious and earnest smile appeared on Li Can's lips.

Zhou Ye followed behind, and when she heard Li Can make this announcement, her eyes welled up with tears.

He clapped enthusiastically: "Congratulations, Lao Wang! Congratulations!"

Wang Defa gradually came to his senses after initially being completely bewildered.

Ever since he rushed back, he's felt that everything is strange, but he can't quite put his finger on what's wrong.

He scratched his slicked-back hair, which had long since solidified with hairspray, with a hint of frustration. His head was so itchy, and he couldn't scratch the real spot.

It made him very anxious.

However, when he heard that the position involved working in the research institute's laboratory and managing research and development equipment, he couldn't help but get excited.

This is practically a case of "being in a good position to get the moon first," he thought to himself.

Although it may not seem as high-ranking as Li Lan and Zhou Ye's positions, it is actually the most important link right now; to control it is to control the lifeline.

Thanks to Li Can's brilliance, everyone benefited from his success, and they all temporarily gained power in the instance.

Regardless of how long this thing lasts, the feeling of being admired by thousands of people is great. Wang Defa gradually lost himself in the praise of "Hello, Deputy Director!" from those around him.

"Old Wang, keep up the good work, we'll be leaving the city and the instance soon!" After everything was over, Li Can patted Wang Defa on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.
