Chapter 314: Chapter 295: City Lord’s Order
"That’s it?"
In the first level space of the Endless Tower, Lin Yi looked baffled at the Guardian in front of him.
After congratulating him on completing the quest, the Guardian didn’t say another word, not even a punctuation mark.
Of course, Lin Yi wasn’t waiting for a compliment, but he was puzzled why nothing followed this sentence!
Lin Yi waited for a long time but didn’t receive any reward notifications.
This was basically an impossible task, now completed by him, so it’s impossible not to get anything, right?
No matter how stingy they are, there should at least be a gold coin reward, right?
No gold coin reward? Then there should at least be some experience reward, right?
But there wasn’t even a hair!
Lin Yi looked bewildered at the old woman and thought to himself:
Could it be that my tone was wrong?
"Ahem~"
Lin Yi immediately cleared his throat and said respectfully:
"Excuse me, Guardian, I completed the quest, why haven’t I received any rewards yet?"
After a long pause, just when Lin Yi thought he had been tricked again, the old woman slowly turned her head to look at Lin Yi:
"The reward for this quest is the token you found inside."
"Of course, you can also exchange that token with me for other substantial rewards."
Only then did Lin Yi remember the dirty token he got at the prison in the residential area.
Then Lin Yi took it out of his backpack and placed it in front of him:
City Lord’s Order (Floating City)
Exclusive item
Bound upon use
Tier: Myth
Physical Attack: 300-800
Magic Attack: 300-800
Physical Defense: 600
Magic Defense: 600
Comprehension: 10
Usage restriction: Feng Hua
Additional Trait 1: Position teleport, can teleport back to Floating City from anywhere.
Additional Trait 2: Exclusive privilege, can exercise all City Lord permissions within Floating City.
"This is the symbol of the highest authority in Floating City, please use the power correctly for the benefit of the Hundred Races."
Lin Yi, with a face full of shock, looked at the old woman in front of him and carefully asked with a slight tremble in his voice:
"Are you saying, this token can be mine?"
At first, he was prepared to hand this thing over.
Because there was no "bound upon use" before, Lin Yi thought this was just a side quest item.
But he didn’t expect happiness to come so suddenly...
Lin Yi even ignored the additional attributes mentioned on the City Lord’s Order.
Because compared to the privileges that can be exercised in Floating City, even without any additional attributes, Lin Yi didn’t care at all.
The old woman looked at Lin Yi expressionlessly:
"You can also return it to me."
Return it to you?
Lin Yi immediately rolled his eyes: Do I look like an idiot?
"Would you like to confirm the use and binding: City Lord’s Order (Floating City)?"
[Confirm][Cancel]
Of course: [Confirm]!
System: Congratulations on becoming the City Lord of Floating City.
System: Floating City is currently in a special state, unable to exercise privileges.
System: Floating City is currently in a special state, unable to use position teleport.
Listening to the system prompts, although Floating City isn’t open yet, Lin Yi couldn’t help but start imagining the scene of being the lord of a city.
No matter what the rights of being a City Lord are, at least he’s a City Lord now:
"Awesome!"
Hehe~
Just as Lin Yi was caught in this intense excitement, he didn’t notice the intriguing smile flashing on the old woman’s face.
After the excitement, Lin Yi glanced at the ranking of the Endless Tower and accidentally found that Satan J had already passed the 25th level trial.
Lin Yi checked the time, it was already past 1 AM.
Seeing that Zhang Xinying and the others were still online and leveling up, Lin Yi decided to continue climbing the tower to surpass Satan J and take first place.
For the next few days, Lin Yi spent most of his time in the Endless Tower.
Lin Yi and Satan J’s ranks were gradually getting closer.
Until the 7th day, on the 39th level, Lin Yi finally managed to surpass Satan J with a slight advantage, securing the first place.
Undoubtedly, this was a historic moment for players in the Hua Country District.
And from this point onwards, neither of their rankings changed.
It’s clear that the 39th level had become the ultimate limit for these two super players in everyone’s eyes.
......
During these few days, there were a few other events with significant impact on the players.
With more people reaching Level 30, Vermilion Bird City opened the Pet Store, officially launching the Pet System.
Players who want to get pets can spend Gold Coins at the Pet Store in Vermilion Bird City to buy ordinary-level pets.
However, the available pet types are limited, and their strength is just so-so.
They can also get other types of pets by fighting World Bosses and through special quests, with an extremely low chance of obtaining rare pets.
As for Epic to Myth-level pets, the officials haven’t announced any way to obtain them.
With the opening of the Pet System, the Pet Leaderboard was also updated.
Here’s a little side story:
When players opened the leaderboard and saw the single name on it, they burst into laughter on the forum.
[Pet Leaderboard]
1№ID: **Pet: ****Level: Epic
(Minimum standard to be on the list: Rare-level pet)
...
The entire Pet Leaderboard only had this lone line, nothing else.
Although this person hid their name, who in the game didn’t know who it was?
This feeling of hiding gold at this spot always inexplicably hits the onlookers’ laughter spot.
It also revealed to everyone that Lin Yi’s unremarkable Golden Behemoth pet was actually Epic-level.
Jaw-dropping to the ground.
Besides, the construction of the Cyclops Race was announced to be completed.
With the tireless efforts of players and the Cyclops Race, a brand new village was presented to the players.
Initially, guild corporations that bought Cyclops Race shops worried that the gaming progress would lead to a loss of competitiveness for the Cyclops Race.
But after Lin Yi spent tens of thousands of Gold Coins to open the reputation exchange store for the Cyclops Race, these concerns disappeared.
Players suddenly realized that Cyclops Race’s reputation could be exchanged for rare pet eggs.
Though the exchange conditions were harsh and required a lot of time and effort, it didn’t dampen the players’ enthusiasm at all.
Because for many ordinary players, this might be the only chance to get a rare pet egg.
And with this gimmick, the Cyclops Race couldn’t help but get popular.
Another ’gossip’ about Lin Yi was that the 5th place on the Endless Tower leaderboard, Yuna, openly supported Feng Hua on the World Forum, causing quite a stir on the forum.
This was the first time someone expressed support for Lin Yi since the World Forum opened.
However, this only represented Yuna’s personal opinion and couldn’t change everyone’s impression of her country.
This incident not only puzzled people in Hua Country but also drew criticism in their Goryeo
We were puzzled by her sudden goodwill, while they were outraged by her sudden goodwill.
This event also sparked curiosity and speculation among countless onlookers.
As for the post about Emperor Pu expressing goodwill towards Lin Yi, it was completely ignored by the public...
In matters of choosing between celebrity gossip and traditional news, public preferences prove to be quite consistent...
As it happens, at the center of this event, Lin Yi was riding a Nightmare through a snowy landscape.
Beside him, the Jade Qilin jumped off the shoulder of the Golden Behemoth, its previously nonchalant demeanor turning serious.
Looking at the faintly visible figure in the snowstorm, Lin Yi finally found himself smiling:
"Finally found it."
