Reborn: Super God of War

"Energy crystal? Very good. The City of Light needs this thing to build a barrier. Tyrese, you may not know that the old guys in the council are almost anxious, hahaha..." Lenny rolled up the energy crystal. , "speaks" in a very humane way, the way it speaks is to produce sounds through the vibrations between the holy lights. So everyone only heard the sound, but could not find the source of the sound at all. It was as if the sound was produced directly in the ears, giving a very strong sense of three-dimensional space.

Tyrese said respectfully, "Lord Lenny, you are the greatest being in the church, and your power is higher than that of the parliament. I hope you can consider letting this young man serve as the city lord of the City of Light."

"City Lord? Is he the young man you mentioned to me? Yes, yes."

"Humans from another world, if you hadn't recovered the dark source of the Dark Temple, I wouldn't have been able to condense this clone. Speaking of which, I still owe you a debt of gratitude."

After a pause, the space around Lenny fluctuated, and the voice came again: "Human from another world, Fu Sheng, you have made great contributions to the City of Light and the Holy Church. From today on, you are the Lord of the City of Light! The Holy Church will fully support you. you!"

After hearing this, Lin Jie was in a daze and stood on the spot.

Is this... over?

Being a city lord is not an easy task. Just look at Baili Xuanyuan who is constantly busy spending money to win the hearts of the people. You can deduce how time-consuming, laborious, and money-consuming this is.

Even if the city is successfully captured, a lot of energy will still need to be spent on dealing with many aftermath events. For example, helping ministers at all levels complete their tasks. To increase favorability, such as appeasing the masses and providing subsidies, or even going to the wild to recruit some powerful NPCs wandering over to increase the attractiveness of the main city, etc.

Moreover, the first month after becoming the city lord is the inspection period. Once more than 50% of NPCs are dissatisfied with you. You may be jointly proposed to step down, and you will have to start another vigorous battle to seize the city...

In his previous life, Lin Jie spent countless efforts and chance to become the city lord.

Good thing now, Lord Lenny has settled the matter with just one word! Moreover, this is not just as simple as Lin Jie's qualification as City Lord.

Humans from another world want to be the lord of the city. The most difficult level is the NPC. A position like city lord. It has always been an important target in the struggle for power between the Holy Church and the Empire. But the players took advantage of the rules of the system master to rob others of their pie, and they still want to gain support from both parties? If I don’t suppress you, you’ll be laughing!

Lin Jie's initial plan was to provoke conflict between the two sides after successfully seizing the city, and make good use of what he knew to have a big official battle and unite one side. Overwhelm one side and then gradually gain real power. After all, no matter how smart the NPC is, no one has the brains to do it, right?

But now that Lin Jie is appointed by Lenny, the Holy Church will not only not embarrass Lin Jie, but will also completely obey Lin Jie's command, obey his dispatch, and cooperate with him in managing the main city. The empire's power was far inferior to that of the Holy Church, and it couldn't make any trouble.

Happiness came so suddenly, Lin Jie couldn't believe it.

Ding~

——System Announcement: Congratulations to the Viscount of the City of Light, ‘Codename Lone Wolf’, for successfully assuming the position of Lord of the City of Light! As the first player to assume the role of city lord in the main city, all buildings in the City of Light will be rewarded with a one-level upgrade. As a reward, the City of Light's guard level will be increased by ten levels, and high-level troops will be added. All City of Light players will be rewarded with blessings, and their experience will increase by 15% in the next 2 days!

——System Announcement: City Lord ‘Codename Lone Wolf’ contributed energy crystals, and the City of Light received 50,000 units of energy barrier. The Holy Church fully supports the city lord, and the Holy Church’s support rate increases by 70%! The Paladin Guard of the City of Light has entered patrol mode, and people's morale is stable.

——System announcement: The City of Light has entered guard status. The Templar Commander Tyrese has released the city mission [Destroy Foreign Enemies], and all participating players can receive generous rewards! …

The system refreshes the screen like crazy! The Lord of the City of Light has been decided, and he is Lin Jie! As expected, he went deep into the Dark Temple, killed the city lord, conspired and plotted, and finally got this position. Moreover, it is a complete city of light!

After Lin Jie became the city lord, the first thing he did was to appoint the members of Can Dao! Official missions require players to slowly complete them, but becoming an official is different. Regardless of whether you have completed official missions or not, you can become an official and enjoy your salary!

Zheng Ziliang is a real estate officer, who can manage the land while also running a small business for herself; Bu Yi is a diplomat of the Temple, and the task of meeting important Temple masters and disciples is given to her. She can contact more expert NPCs and trigger tasks... One person can succeed. , chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, all members of the Can Dao team have official positions, and all of them are high-ranking officials.

After all the hard work to climb to this position, what if we don’t get a little more profit?

After Lin Jie became the city lord, he also gained several more skills: City Lord's Power, Son of the City, and Bright Oath.

[City Lord’s Power]: You get a 30% discount on all purchases in the City of Light. Your attributes are doubled in the city. When you are attacked or verbally abused in the city, you can put the other party in jail. And, you have supervisory powers.

[Son of the City]: You can use teleportation within the City of Light to reach a location within your field of vision. The cooldown time is 30 minutes.

[Bright Oath]: You summon 100 City of Light guards to fight for you. This effect is only valid in the City of Light.

The skills of the city lord only increase the city lord's ability inside the main city, and have little impact on field operations. And the most important item also fell into Lin Jie's backpack, that is the City Lord's Order! Lin Jie once used this thing, which allowed him to command NPC subordinates and improve certain attributes. But now, it has become a hot potato.

The City Lord's Order, once killed, has a 100% chance of exploding. It may even be stolen by thieves using the stealing skill. It is good to carry it with you, but it is very unsafe.

Lin Jie thought for a moment, then rolled his eyes and focused his attention on Teris. "Commander, you see, as a human from another world, I often travel to various places. It is inconvenient for me to carry this City Lord's Order with me. Why don't you keep it for me? If necessary, you can also exercise the rights of City Lord on my behalf. This can be regarded as a kind of trust and respect for the church."

"Very good. The Holy Church made the right decision to choose you." There was a look of satisfaction in Tyrese's eyes, and she accepted it happily. With the City Lord's order, she can mobilize most NPCs and soldiers, which is equivalent to enjoying half of the City Lord's power. Of course, she is happy to accept it. The two coincided.

Unless Teris is killed, he won't be able to get the city lord's order, let alone seize the city. And to kill this NPC... Lin Jie agreed, but Wind Controlling Sword Master didn't agree either! It couldn't be safer.

"Go to the City Lord's Mansion, we still have a lot of things to deal with." After becoming the City Lord, Lin Jie felt his head hurt because there were too many things that the City Lord had to deal with. Build a good relationship with the NPC first. Dealing with construction. Adjust tax rates, formulate policies... However, Lin Jie was the Lord of the City of Light in his previous life, so it is not too difficult to deal with these things, it will only take some time at most.

"Hey...the monster siege is not over yet." The Great Wall reminded.

"Leave it to the NPCs and all players. If you want to make some money, you can also do it. There is an energy barrier. These monsters no longer pose a threat to the City of Light. Now the only thing left is to give money and equipment. ." Lin Jie said with a smile.

Finally, the three girls who followed Lin Jie to the City Lord's Mansion were Bu Yi, Qiu Yuan, and Youlan, as well as the steady big brother Gian Yanyemu. Others rushed to kill monsters and reap the benefits.

…………

Over the City of Light, a thick energy barrier condensed and formed. This is the thick barrier generated by the energy crystal, which can withstand a single attack of less than 10,000 points of damage, based on the attributes of the current monster. Almost invincible! Moreover, the energy barrier can periodically provide players with BUFF or curse monsters.

At present, the monsters densely surrounding the City of Light are covered with a halo of gray, which is the dim curse caused by the barrier. After the monster was infected with the curse, its attributes dropped by as much as 30%. Even against ordinary players, it can cause considerable damage.

Originally a powerful siege monster. Under the suppression of the energy barrier, as fragile as paper, the players in the City of Light certainly would not let go of this good opportunity and killed them with great joy. Equipment materials and corpses were mixed on the ground. Among them, many San people can be seen, several times more than usual... Most of these San people are people who have withdrawn from the Xuanyuan League.

Originally, Baili Xuanyuan not only had abundant funds, but also had strong strength. If it could seize the position of city lord, the benefits within the Xuanyuan League would definitely be considerable. But now... the city lord is a lone wolf. Codenamed Lone Wolf, it can be seen from his behavior that this person is lawless, powerful, and very defensive. Offending him is not a good thing.

Lin Jie's reputation, well, to be more precise, his reputation as fierce, has already become famous...

Baili Xuanyuan, on the other hand, fell into trouble again after learning the skills of the Red Lotus Knight and becoming majestic for a while. Seeing that a lot of money has been spent, but with little effect, the only achievement is that the three major alliances have grown stronger and stronger, and there are many masters.

However, these masters are not top-notch, and the cost for each one is not low. Baili Xuanyuan spent a lot of effort and money to win over people's hearts. Now it is all in vain.

"Boss... there is a call from the family. I hope you can sort out a recent operation record in the virtual world and send it to prepare the next plan." The secretary said weakly in Baili Xuanyuan's ear. The deeper meaning of this sentence, Even fools understand!

"I'll be there right away, Xiao Li, go help me contact someone..." Baili Xuanyuan exited the game cabin and went to attend the meeting. The Xuanyuan League has also stopped temporarily. In addition to the individuals and idle guilds in the entire City of Light, there are players from the Emperor Fall Tribe, the Iron League, the Brotherhood, and the Iron Wall Empire.

The monsters attacking the city were greatly reduced in strength under the suppression of the energy barrier. Tyrese led the NPC army, which was overwhelming and invincible. With the city lord taking over, the monsters also began to conserve their forces for the next attack, and the strange tide gradually subsided.

The City of Light finally calmed down after experiencing the death of its city lord. A new city lord is born, and the first player city lord Lin Jie takes over!

At the end of the monster siege, the system issued a prompt.

——System Announcement: Congratulations to the City of Light for successfully resisting the siege of monsters. All players will be rewarded with 1,000 reputation points and the title [Guardian] (title attribute: HP +50). The City of Light has entered the construction state and will be built within 24 hours. It will be opened later. During this period, the City of Light will be temporarily closed. Players are asked to go to other main cities or maps.

——System announcement: Guangming will enter the construction state in 10 minutes this time. Players are asked to leave the city or go offline.

"Have you started building it?" Lin Jie, who was busy formulating strategies in the city lord's palace, heard the prompt and smiled slightly, "After the construction is completed, all buildings will be upgraded to one level, the weapon shop will start selling silver equipment in batches, and the pharmacy shop will have a chance to refresh the high-grade level. The Pharmacy and Engineering Association will also arrange tutors to give lectures... By then, the number of people in the City of Light will increase again."

Bu Yi smiled and said, "Then what should we do in these 24 hours? Find a map to level up?"

"Get some rest, everyone is tired. Baili just gave me the news. We might as well take advantage of this maintenance time to hold our party..." Lin Jie smiled. (To be continued ~^~)
