Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

"Grand President, I believe that taking back those who have transformed themselves into mechanical beings into the Federation is a very unwise choice. It might incite public backlash."

In the makeshift government office set up hastily for emergency repairs, a middle-aged man, seemingly only in his forties or fifties, spoke loudly.

This was a rare S-class citizen in the Federation, a figure at the pinnacle of power.

Moreover, he was one of the few who knew the truth about the Elder Council years ago and kept it hidden until now.

Hmm...

That was how it was at least a week ago.

Ever since Lu Wenwu defeated that Super AI and the ultimate weapon of the Superhuman Federation, the high-ranking officials in the Eus Region became aware of what the Elder Council was truly about.

The rule of managed democracy continued, and the lives of the lower masses seemed utterly undisturbed.

But suddenly learning that their rulers had been a supercomputer for many years caused deep unrest among many officials.

Furthermore, some were also dissatisfied with Lu Wenwu suddenly becoming the President of the Superhuman Federation.

But dissatisfaction was useless, and no one dared to express it.

Even those who protested the most didn’t manage to deploy any political views or stratagems before their heads were casually smashed in by the new President, as effortlessly as crushing a fly.

If it were a player with an intellectual approach, they might plan meticulously, form alliances, and use exquisite means to govern from the position of President, becoming an excellent head of state.

However, for Lu Wenwu, who had no intention of doing a proper job...

He greatly admired certain statecraft ideologies of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

If you can hold onto this position, do it; if not, you might as well die.

Under such circumstances, the power transition of the Superhuman Federation proceeded extremely smoothly, with no disturbances at all.

In the face of someone who could physically break through the atmosphere and take on the entire Eus Region’s defense on his own, no one dared to resist and all submitted obediently.

Sitting in the President’s seat, Lu Wenwu glanced at him and asked, "Backlash? Reasons?"

The middle-aged man immediately replied, "Although the Biohumans and Biochemicalstan are a thing of the past, public hatred towards Biohumans and Robots has yet to dissipate. Even if you order a ceasefire, the soldiers who have fought in the Meilafeng River region for years would not agree. They’ve lost too many comrades and friends over years of combat, anger that cannot be easily assuaged."

"That sort of thing doesn’t matter," Lu Wenwu said blandly, "Enforce it mandatorily. Those who refuse shall be sent to the Ministry of Truth and charged with treason."

"What?"

A group of high-ranking officials of the Superhuman Federation simultaneously exclaimed.

"This... how can this be allowed?"

"Grand President, please reconsider!"

"Grand President, you’ll dishearten the soldiers like this!"

"..."

A chorus of advice echoed chaotically in the meeting room, creating a messy uproar.

Hu Frost, temporarily serving as secretary-general, glanced at the man who acted as he pleased beside her and bowed her head, remaining silent.

After the battle with the ultimate weapon, she recognized her role as a mere accessory.

She decided to just follow along and win effortlessly.

Just like those Deceitful Objects outside, waiting to be fed.

Lu Wenwu crossed his legs and propped his cheek up, his eyes amusedly scanning the surroundings: "I’ve been thinking, over the years, haven’t you all treated the soldiers as inhuman? Why play the role now? Is it because Master Wu’s fist is no longer strong, or do you think I’m easily bullied?"

Easily bullied?

How can you say such a thing?

The headless bodies outside were left exposed in the wilderness...

Thinking about their colleagues’ fate, these high-ranking officials felt a sense of lament.

They exchanged looks, seeing bitterness in each other’s eyes.

The previous Super AI, no matter how intelligent, was just a program, easily deceived.

Pretending to be a local tyrant behind its back was too simple.

What did that broken computer know about politics?

But now, having someone who resorts to killing as a primary means of problem-solving as President... governing has become difficult!

You can deceive him countless times.

But if you ever make him uncomfortable, you’re dead.

Seeing that all the officials remained silent, Lu Wenwu said blandly, "Since everyone is silent, I’ll take it as your tacit agreement. Starting tomorrow, reintegrate the remaining Robot forces and collect technological data from them."

An official asked timidly, "Grand President, what if the Robots don’t cooperate with our integration? You know, they have great resentment towards how we treated the Biohumans in the past..."

"Is such a simple issue something you still need to ask me about? Learn to solve problems with your brain, understand?" Lu Wenwu had a look of disappointment.

A hatred lasting hundreds of years!

Is that a problem easily resolved?

Why don’t you solve one for me?

The official silently raged, but his face betrayed nothing, continuing politely, "I’m dull-witted, please enlighten me, Grand President."

"I’ve already told you, learn to solve problems with your brain, really an unteachable fool." Lu Wenwu sighed, shaking his head in utter disappointment.

"If they don’t cooperate, can’t you extract their brains along with the life-support devices and string them together for use as wetware to create a Supercomputer similar to the Elder Council? Their technology is almost identical, no need for changes."
