22: Chapter 22: The First Son is Born, and the Entire Server is in an Uproar

[ The baby is finally born~~~~~ ]

When Lin Zhe swept his gaze over Wild Wolf, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He was still clutching a return scroll in his hand, but the scroll had already turned completely grey.

He couldn't move.

He couldn't run.

The remaining forty low-health members around him were even more miserable, each one frozen in place, their faces as pale as paper, their voices hoarse from screaming.

"Big Shot Lin! No, Master Lin! I was wrong!"

"Don't kill me! I've already dropped two pieces of equipment!"

"Wild Wolf forced us to come, it has nothing to do with me!"

"Please let me return to the city! I will never come to Luofeng Village again!"

Cries, pleas for mercy, and trembling sounds blended into a chaotic mess.

The Wild Wolf Gang's hundred-man group, which had been incredibly arrogant just a moment ago, were now like a pack of dogs pinned to the ground.

The Luofeng Village players watched with scalp-tingling awe, followed immediately by faces full of wild joy.

"Awesome!"

"That's what you get for sneaking an attack in advance!"

"Keep acting arrogant!"

"Didn't you want to flatten the village entrance just now? Come on, move if you can!"

Xing Jianwan stood by Lin Zhe's side, her cold light staff already lowered.

She looked at the pale golden barrier of rules still circulating, the shock in her heart yet to dissipate.

This was no longer a common skill.

This was directly sealing the rules.

And Lin Zhe stood in the center of the light barrier, his expression still indifferent, as if everything before him was not worth mentioning.

But just then—Boom! The golden light soaring into the sky around Lin Zhe suddenly surged again!

Even brighter than before!

More intense!

The entire hillside was instantly dyed a warm gold!

Everyone subconsciously squinted.

"It's happening again!"

"The light on Big Shot Lin is even stronger!"

"What's going on?"

Xing Jianwan turned her head abruptly to look at Lin Zhe.

She saw a warm golden ball of light slowly floating out from Lin Zhe's chest.

It wasn't large.

But it was astonishingly dazzling.

The ball of light hung in mid-air like a small sun, surrounded by wisps of tiny golden rule patterns.

Lin Zhe's eyes narrowed.

It was coming.

The next second, system notifications exploded in his mind one after another.

[Ding!]

[Host's first heir gestation complete!]

[Eldest son officially born!]

[Name: Lin Chen]

[Grade: Epic NPC]

[Identity Bound: Archon of Luofeng Village]

[Permissions Bound: All management permissions of Luofeng Village]

[Hint: Eldest son Lin Chen has locked control over Luofeng Village's order, access, and rule scheduling permissions]

[Rule link between host and heir complete!]

Swish! The warm golden ball of light fell abruptly. The moment it landed, the light retracted.

A jade-carved, pink-cheeked baby boy had already landed steadily in Lin Zhe's arms.

He looked like a newborn, but he was not ordinary at all.

He was wrapped in a small warm golden robe, the edges embroidered with intricate golden dragon patterns.

His little face was fair and tender, but his brows and eyes were surprisingly distinct.

A faint golden light pattern on his forehead flickered in and out of existence.

The most outrageous thing was that the moment he fell into Lin Zhe's arms, the surrounding rule barrier became significantly more stable, and the golden light even grew more solid.

The entire hillside fell silent for a moment.

The next second, it exploded!

"A... child?"

"Holy crap! There's a baby in Big Shot Lin's arms!"

"No, where did this child come from!"

"Did he turn from that ball of golden light just now?"

"Look at the robe he's wearing! This is definitely not an ordinary NPC!"

Xing Jianwan was also stunned.

She was the closest, so she saw it the most clearly.

As soon as this baby boy appeared, she felt an extremely strong aura of rules pressing down.

A tiny nursing baby.

Yet it gave people a feeling that he could not be underestimated at all.

And just when everyone was too shocked to speak—throughout the entire "miracle", a bright red pinned announcement popped up in the center of every online player's field of vision!

[Server-wide Announcement: Epic NPC "Lin Chen" officially born!]

[Identity: Archon of Luofeng Village]

[Authority: Controls all management permissions of Luofeng Village]

[This announcement lasts for 10 seconds and cannot be closed during this time]

The bright red characters dominated the entire server!

For a full ten seconds!

Whether they were grinding monsters in the Novice Area, running quests in the main city, or forming parties at the dungeon entrance, everyone had this announcement plastered across their faces.

In an instant, the entire "miracle" exploded!

The world channel went insane!

"Epic NPC???"

"An Epic grade on the third day of the server launch?"

"What the hell kind of place is Luofeng Village!"

"Archon? A Novice Area actually has an Archon?"

"Wait, Lin Chen was just born? An Epic NPC right from birth?"

"A baby Archon? Are you kidding me!"

"I saw it! The announcement is real! My vision was locked for ten seconds!"

"What on earth happened in Luofeng Village!"

The channel messages scrolled so fast that the text couldn't be read. Countless players began frantically forwarding, taking screenshots, and recording videos.

The warning sounds in the operations backend merged into one continuous stream again.

On the hillside at the village entrance, as soon as the red light of the announcement faded, the players were already completely boiling over.

"Epic! It really is Epic!"

"Big Shot Lin's son?"

"An Archon of Luofeng Village right from birth?"

"Controlling the entire village's permissions... This is too terrifying!"

Some people were so excited they slapped their thighs. Others looked at the baby boy in Lin Zhe's arms, their eyes turning red.

Just a moment ago, they thought Lin Zhe was already outrageous enough. But now, an Epic heir had popped out!

And he was the Archon of Luofeng Village!

This wasn't just powerful. This was going to ride on the heads of the entire Novice Area!

As for Wild Wolf, who was frozen in place, he was completely dumbfounded.

He stared blankly at the baby boy in Lin Zhe's arms, at the small golden dragon-patterned robe, and at the faint golden light pattern on the child's forehead, his mind a complete blank.

Epic NPC.

Archon of Luofeng Village.

These words hit his forehead hard like a heavy hammer.

The next second, his legs went weak.

Thump!

His whole body collapsed directly to the ground.

He even forgot the pleas for mercy in his mouth.
