Chapter 102: New City Lord



And it did not help that the first person to complete these challenges was not a player but a player\'s summoned creature, which made everything even more unbelievable.

"What? This can\'t be," one of the players exclaimed.

"But aren\'t most of the players still stuck in the inn as they cannot control their strength?" another player asked, confused.

He asked this because he judged this fact from his inn, which happened to have some of those top players.

Seeing them still here, he concluded that most of the other players were still stuck in the inn.

"Yeah, and if it had been a normal NPC, then the World\'s Will would not have made this announcement, which means it has to be a player.

But how could he finish those challenges?" another added.

However, the other players had similar questions, but none of them got an answer, as they would have to wait until they could leave this inn and figure out where the City with the first player-summoned City Lord was living.

Meanwhile, in Jingzhong City.

Both Xu Qianghua and Hang Xinyi have gone to the City Lord\'s mansion so that she can be crowned the new City Lord.

They then made their way to the main hall, where the City Lord usually holds meetings with his staff about the city.

"Are you ready, Xinyi?" Xu Qianghua asked as they entered the room.

"Yes, I am," Hang Xinyi replied, nodding slightly.

As they entered, they saw an empty room with a red carpet on the ground leading towards the only piece of furniture: a throne.

This is the throne that only the City Lord is allowed to sit on, as this not only symbolizes the position of the City Lord but also because this throne is the eye for this City\'s formation.

Yes, this city has a formation, as do other cities, but they are all in a passive state where it will only activate when the city is under threat.

However, that is only the protection formation, which is part of the city formation but not the whole part, as each city formation is a mix of the defense formation, attack formation, spiritual qi gathering formation, concealment formation, and tracking formation.

These formations combined become the City Formation.

This is the reason why only the City Lords are able to sit on the throne as they are the ones who control the formation and monitor the city so that they are able to respond to any and all problems.

The two walked toward the throne, and then Xu Qianghua stopped while Hang Xinyi continued on and slowly sat down.

As soon as she did, a middle-aged man appeared out of nowhere next to Xu Qianghua. He then took a knee, placing a hand over his chest in a salute.

"Hello to the new City Lord; I am the Guardian of this city; you can call me Chen Zhong," he said without raising his head the whole time.

"My Lord, you have proven your wisdom and leadership skills and have gained the ability to control this and, in turn, me as I and the city are one."

"Thank you for your words," Hang Xinyi said, nodding at the middle-aged man.

She knew what he was talking about because, as the City\'s Guardian, he does not have a physical body, as all of the City Guardians worldwide are famous generals who have stored their souls in the core of the City\'s formation.

(A/N: I have changed the Guardians to be the soul of those generals instead of their avatars as this way, they have more roles and value compared to before)

They are the spirit of the City\'s formation and need a dependable commander to direct the citizens in dire need.

So, although he may look like a middle-aged man, he could be the oldest soul residing in this city, as all the other humans should be dead by now.

"Please stand up," she said.

As soon as he heard this, Chen Zhong stood and looked at her.

"You are now the new City Lord, and I will be at your service," he said, nodding slightly.

Xu Qianghua looked at them and smiled, seeing that things were going well.

Then, Chen Zhong continued, "There is one thing I want to mention, My Lord."

"What is that?" Hang Xinyi asked, curious as to what it was.

"We have a tradition in this city: We hold a banquet after you become the new City Lord," he replied, smiling.

Xu Qianghua, who heard this, thought it was a good idea. As some native families have been living in this city for a long time, this banquet will be a good way to meet these people.

"That\'s good, but how does it work? How many people do we need to invite?" he asked.

Hang Xinyi and the Guardian, who heard him speak, did not say anything as Hang Xinyi knew what he was thinking about, and the Guardian also knew that Xu Qianghua was someone important to the City Lord.

For the natives, the players are similar to them but with much better cultivation talent, and this is because the World\'s Will did not want to differentiate between them, which might create a rift and lead to more problems in the long run.

But in his last life, the World\'s Will forgot about the players, who still thought of these natives as NPCs whom they could kill and loot.

This led to many powerful native cultivators openly opposing the players and their forces for many years.

Eventually, those players who still viewed these natives as NPCs were either killed or locked up, and the high-level players who treated the natives with respect had to go to those natives and calm them down.

The only good thing was that this happened before the Zerg Invasion; otherwise, the players would have had a much harder time.

This time, Xu Qianghua had to ensure this did not happen, but he could only ensure the Central Continent. All the other top players are needed to take care of this.

But he planned to resolve this incident before it became a massive problem, just like in his last life.

"Well, the number of people is up to the new City Lord, as it is a custom to invite all the families that have lived in the city for a long time.

If the new City Lord wishes to invite them, then you only need to mention it, and the heads of those families will be more than happy to attend," he said.

"Then I think we should hold this banquet," Hang Xinyi said, smiling.

Xu Qianghua nodded at her words. "That\'s a good idea. This will also help you get used to the other families here, making your life easier."

He had been thinking about how she would interact with the city\'s natives, who had lived there for many years and had their own opinions on certain things.

It was also common for the natives to distrust outsiders, especially if they were from different cities or, in this case, players who came to this city and occupied the most important position available.

And Xu Qianghua did not want this to happen, so he wanted her to get to know these natives well before something like that happened.

"Yes, Master," Hang Xinyi said as she nodded slightly.

Xu Qianghua smiled at her response and then spoke, "Alright, let\'s get started on the preparations."

Hang Xinyi nodded again, stood up from the throne, and walked over to the Guardian.

"Anything else?" she asked him, looking at him.

He thought for a moment before replying, "First, we should discuss the details of your role as City Lord. You must appoint staff members to assist you with your duties."

The reason why she was willing to listen to what he had to say even though she had experience from her last life and from the third challenge.

It is because she had a lot of respect for the Guardian, who was willing to let his soul stay in this world, which is not something that everyone is willing to do.

"I don\'t think we need to be worried about that," she said.

When the World\'s Will rewarded her for being the first City Lord, she received not only the army she used to command but also the internal staff that had been with her since the start of the third challenge.

So she is not worried about these as she can fully trust these people as they have gone through many challenges and trials before they are selected.

According to the World\'s Will, she will get them when she last saw them, which means that these people are given to her when they are at their peak.

Chen Zhong nodded, seeing that she understood what he was trying to say. "Very well, My Lady. Then, I will leave you alone now."

And with that, Chen Zhong disappeared, leaving Hang Xinyi and Xu Qianghua alone in the room.

The two then walked out of the room together, as there was a much more important event to attend to.

Setting up the Xu Family.
