347: Crazy Evolver

The City Guard Army of Dujiang City has over 200,000 Evolutionaries.

They were currently divided into four legions, each guarding one side of the city wall.

Under Mu Feng's lead, Qin Shilei quickly found Jiang Yiming, the legion commander guarding the north side.

Mu Feng, who had just acknowledged a new boss, showed great potential as a subordinate. As soon as he entered Jiang Yiming's command post, he immediately stepped forward and said with a stern face:

"Commander Jiang, seeing that our new City Lord has arrived, why haven't you come to pay your respects yet!"

Jiang Yiming frowned and pondered for a moment, then walked up to Qin Shilei, cupped his hands, bowed, and respectfully said, "Jiang Yiming pays his respects to the City Lord!"

He had personally witnessed the battle between Qin Shilei and the Zombie Emperor. Convinced that he could not resist the opponent, it was better to readily acknowledge this new City Lord.

"Jiang Yiming, you are indeed a smart man."

Qin Shilei smiled, "The City Lord's Mansion will host a banquet tonight; don't forget to bring a few of your capable subordinates to attend."

After speaking, he turned and led his subordinates out.

He then visited the other three military camps one by one. The three legion commanders were not fools; they showed no dissatisfaction towards Qin Shilei, the new City Lord.

When Qin Shi Lei and his group arrived at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, they heard bursts of sorrowful weeping from inside.

Mu Feng immediately leaned close to Qin Shilei and asked for instructions, "City Lord, how about you wait a moment, and I'll go in first to clear out any irrelevant people."

"Alright," Qin Shilei instructed, "don't be too forceful, allow them to take a small amount of supplies."

Mu Feng quickly led his subordinates to clear out everyone in the City Lord's Mansion.

Sitting in the main hall, Qin Shilei waved his hand and released a large pile of supplies.

"Mu Feng, go find someone to arrange a lavish banquet."

"Then send invitations to the leaders of all major forces in the city, inviting them to attend tonight's banquet."

"Understood!" Mu Feng replied, then quickly hurried out.

As night fell, darkness almost enveloped the entire Dujiang City, yet the City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit and bustling with people.

In the huge banquet hall, people gathered in small groups, conversing with each other.

"Do you think our new City Lord will change the existing structure of Dujiang City?"

"A new official always brings three fires; there will definitely be changes."

"With the number one person on Blue Star as our City Lord, the safety of our Dujiang City will greatly improve."

"Qin has already taken control of several cities in Great Xia; in the near future, he will probably declare himself king!"

"Heroes emerge in troubled times. I hope Qin declares himself king and saves countless citizens from peril."

"Silence!"

Suddenly, Mu Feng's calm voice resounded throughout the banquet hall, "Please welcome our City Lord, Mr. Qin Shilei!"

The entire banquet hall fell completely silent, followed by a thunderous round of applause.

Qin Shilei, dressed in black dragon scale armor and holding the Giant Que Sword, walked towards the main stage with his head held high and chest puffed out.

He raised his hand to stop the applause, "Thank you all very much for attending tonight's banquet."

"I, Qin Shilei, will serve as the City Lord of Dujiang City from now on. Does anyone have any objections?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one was willing to be the one to stand out and object.

"Very well, this City Lord now issues the first City Order. Lu Tian罡 is appointed as the Deputy City Lord of Dujiang City. When I am not in Dujiang City, he will have full authority over all affairs of Dujiang City."

Lu Tian罡 also walked onto the main stage, knelt on one knee, "Your subordinate accepts the order!"

Qin Shilei helped him up and took out an extra Telepathic Talisman, "I grant you this Telepathic Talisman. Should Dujiang City encounter an irresistible powerful enemy, you can contact us through this talisman, and experts from our other major cities will immediately come to reinforce you."

Upon hearing this, everyone below felt their sense of security double.

They all knew that on Blue Star, almost half of the Golden Realm experts were Qin's people.

Now with the Telepathic Talisman, it was like having several peerless experts as a backing, and from then on, the security of Dujiang City would soar.

Qin Shilei then took out a glistening green tea leaf, "This is a peerless treasure, the Enlightenment Tea, which can greatly increase your chances of advancing to the Golden Realm. Brew it with water and drink it now."

Lu Tian罡, his face full of excitement, knelt on one knee again and sincerely thanked him, "Thank you, City Lord, for your generous gift!"

He took the Enlightenment Tea, pulled out a glass teacup, and poured in a bottle of mineral water. A flame rose from his palm, quickly boiling the water in the teacup, then he threw the Enlightenment Tea into the teacup.

A refreshing tea aroma instantly filled the entire banquet hall.

Everyone in the banquet hall felt their minds instantly become incredibly clear. Problems that had previously seemed obscure suddenly became clear.

Lu Tian罡 waited for the tea to cool down a bit, then eagerly drank it.

"You can try to break through here; I will protect you," Qin Shilei suggested.

"Okay."

Lu Tian罡 immediately sat cross-legged and began to attempt the breakthrough.

Everyone below held their breath, their eyes fixed on Lu Tian罡 on the main stage.

Half an hour later, Lu Tian罡's aura surged dramatically, and the Golden Realm was achieved.

"Whoosh!"

Everyone below could no longer remain calm.

They had personally witnessed someone successfully advancing to the Golden Realm.

The new City Lord actually possessed a peerless treasure that could allow people to advance to the Golden Realm.

Aren't there still fewer than twenty Golden Realm experts on Blue Star? How did that man named Lu seem to advance so easily?

Lu Tian罡 leaped up from the ground, then knelt on one knee again, "Your subordinate has not failed your expectations and has successfully advanced to the Golden Realm."

"I, Lu Tian罡, swear by my soul to follow the City Lord to the death, and I am willing to clear all obstacles for my King, fighting for my King's honor and victory!"

"I like to hear that."

Qin Shilei secretly rejoiced, "I didn't expect this Lu Tian罡, who usually has such a serious expression, to be so passionate and eloquent when expressing his loyalty."

He reached out and helped him up, "Excellent, from now on, let us conquer Blue Star and wreak havoc!"

Qin Shilei turned to face the crowd below, extended his right hand, and three pieces of Enlightenment Tea instantly appeared in his palm.

Everyone below's breathing suddenly became rapid, their eyes fixed on the three pieces of Enlightenment Tea, unable to look away.

"Whoever renders great service to me, Qin, I will not hesitate to bestow upon him a precious piece of Enlightenment Tea."

Everyone below went completely insane!

"City Lord, I am loyal and brave, skilled in battle, and command thirty thousand elite soldiers. I humbly request the City Lord to accept me."

"City Lord, whatever you command, I will not hesitate to go through fire and water, I only ask for a piece of Enlightenment Tea."

"City Lord, I, Liu Sandao, am willing to sell my life to you, just for a piece of Enlightenment Tea."

"City Lord, what constitutes great service? Could you please clarify? I will immediately take my subordinates to help you solve problems."

It was impossible for them not to go crazy.

Anyone with a bit of ambition hoped to advance to the Golden Realm.

A very small portion of them had reached the peak of Silver, and they deeply understood the difficulty, or rather, the complete lack of direction, in advancing to the Golden Realm.

Even those who hadn't reached the peak of Silver could see from the rankings that many people had been stuck at Silver Nine Stars for over half a month without any progress, thus realizing how difficult it was to advance to the Golden Realm.

Yet, Qin Shilei now took out a tea leaf and, in front of everyone, quickly allowed an Evolutionary to successfully advance to the Golden Realm.

Who wouldn't want such a heavenly treasure?
