The Urban Leveling Life From Zero - Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Level Hierarchy

“Meng Junjie is here.”

“It would be strange if he didn’t come. He’s the representative of the four major families and also a member of the board of directors of the Fantasy Light Group. He has a strong relationship with most of the board members, and the only one who is qualified to challenge the leader, Xia Qingyao!”

No one was surprised when they saw the mustached middle-aged man.

It was highly likely that Xia Qingyao could announce to the public that the logistics department of the group would be taken over, during the banquet. It was not impossible to catch the four major families off guard.

After all, Xia Qingyao was the CEO of the group. Once she made such a statement to the public and no one stood up to object immediately, the board of directors would consider the group’s reputation and influence and could only grit their teeth and agree to that matter.

Xia Qingyao, who was smiling on the stage, exchanged looks with Meng Junjie.

Instantly, everyone present became nervous. Although Xia Qingyao only took a glance, her cold gaze made everyone feel a chill – a bone-piercing chill that could make one tremble uncontrollably.

The AR system would be upgraded as the player’s level increased. It would enhance the player’s five senses, which would allow them to be more sensitive to things that they originally could not detect.

After breaking through Level 10, one could vaguely sense if someone had an intention to kill, or rather, a sense of danger. The sharper one’s five senses were, the stronger their ability to sense danger.

Ordinary people didn’t think much of Xia Qingyao. From her appearance, she was simply a peerless beauty.

However, someone who had surpassed Level 10 in the AR system would have five senses sharp enough to clearly understand the difference between the two parties and how terrifying the other party was.

She was essentially a beast in the form of a human!

“Such terrifying power! Is this what a person with a Level 25 AR system is like?”

“I’m afraid that in the entire Fantasy Light Group, only Meng Junjie and the aggressive Jiang Haoyuan are able to remain calm in the face of such power.”

“Meng Junjie didn’t even care about such a terrifying threat. It seems like he has improved again in the past two years. His AR level should have reached Level 23. No wonder he was so confident in facing Xia Qingyao.”

The CEOs and family leaders in the audience looked at Meng Junjie in surprise.

The emergence of Fantasy World was not just a game for humans. It was also a tool for humans to constantly improve themselves.

As the players continued to improve and break through their limits, they would be able to improve from quantity to quality.

The first threshold was Level 10 of the AR system, and the second threshold was Level 20 of the AR system. As long as one could successfully break through, it would not be an exaggeration to call them a new human being.

However, after the AR level reached Level 21, every level upgrade was much harder than to break through Level 20. There were only three people in the entire City of Light who had reached Level 25.

Other than Xia Qingyao, one of the other two was the current president of the City of Light’s Adventurers’ Association. The other was the old man from Daytime Group, who was the former CEO of the group. That old man was already 58 years old, and based on his age, he didn’t have many years left to live.

That was also why many people in the City of Light believed that the Fantasy Light Group was in full swing in the city.

“What is Meng Junjie trying to say?” Looking at the unmoved Meng Junjie, Xia Qingyao’s voice turned stern. “As my legal husband, a member of the Xia family and the Senior Deputy CEO of the group, isn’t it only right for Lu Jin to take over the position of the General Manager of the logistics department, that has been vacant for many years?”

Xia Qingyao’s voice became increasingly cold. Even the young girls who had been joking about Xia Qingyao from afar felt that the atmosphere had become more and more oppressive. Even breathing became difficult.

“This atmosphere! Is Xia Qingyao about to break through Level 26?”

Chen Kemeng, who was sitting in a corner of the hall, looked at Xia Qingyao in disbelief.

There was a huge divide between AR Level 25 and AR Level 26. In the history of the City of Light, less than 10 people had broken through that threshold. Every single one of them was someone whom the three major groups tried their best to curry favor with.

That was because after reaching AR Level 26, one would be qualified to form a Grade ‘S’. Adventurer team and travel between cities.

It was even possible to gain a foothold in the City of Thousand Stars!

At that moment, even Meng Junjie felt the pressure. He couldn’t help but stroke his beard to ease the pressure in his heart.

He never expected Xia Qingyao to be stronger than before!

“CEO Xia, please don’t misunderstand.” Meng Junjie added a smile. “I’m not against CEO LU becoming the General Manager of the logistics department. I’m afraid that all the employees in the logistics department will be dissatisfied and resentful if CEO Lu becomes the General Manager of the department. After all, CEO Lu’s AR level is only at Level 10 now, and CEO Xia should be very clear about the employees in the logistics department. All of them are people who have broken through Level 10. They usually fight in the wild and collect all kinds of materials. The promotion of positions is all based on personal merits and strength.”

“Even when the old CEO was around, that position in the Xia family’s logistics department also depended on merits and strength. It’s really hard to convince everyone to let CEO Lu directly become the General Manager of the logistics department.”

“What I mean is to let CEO Lu start from the basic level to train the newcomers. This way, he can get used to the work in the logistics department. When he breaks through the Level 10 limit and has enough merits and strength, it won’t be too late to take over the logistics department.”

Meng Junjie’s words impressed all the CEOs and family leaders.

Although Xia Qingyao was very powerful, she couldn’t ignore her employees. After all, level hierarchy was highly regarded by the entire world, let alone the group.

Level hierarchy was the rule of the world.

Even the previous CEO had done things that way. If Xia Qingyao’s generation objected to it, the employees of the logistics department would be disappointed.

In the short term, there might not be any visible impact, but as time passed, those employees would slowly leave. After all, all the major groups needed talents in the logistics field.

Newcomers were people who had yet to break through Level 10. Lu Jin, who had yet to break through Level 10, was the most suitable person to manage them.

“That’s right!” At that moment, Wang Zhonghu, who was almost two meters tall and looked like a giant, suddenly walked up. He stared fixedly at Lu Jin, who was standing beside Xia Qingyao, and smiled disdainfully. The logistics department of the group has always valued strength. I worked hard as a newcomer all the way to become a manager now. If CEO Xia really wants CEO Lu to directly become the General Manager of the logistics department, please let CEO Lu defeat me first. If CEO Lu can’t even defeat me, a manager, what right does he have to become the General Manager?”

Wang Zhonghu’s words made many high-ranking employees of the Fantasy Light Group nod in agreement.

Although Lu Jin was the son-in-law of the Xia family, the Xia family still had to be fair. Even if Lu Jin was no match for Wang Zhonghu, he should at least have broken through the Level 10 limit. Otherwise, who would be convinced?

Just as Xia Qingyao was about to speak, a deep voice suddenly echoed throughout the banquet hall.

“As long as I defeat you, I’ll be qualified,

right?”
