1097: Take charge of Busum City

"The method to obtain the [Dark Divine Servant. Demon Attendant] inheritance?!" Li Changkong's expression shifted slightly when he saw this special reward.

Just now, he had heard San Ziye discussing the so-called Divine Servants.

He had concluded that such things were too far away from him and only listened to it as a story mixed with truth and falsehood.

But he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the System would actually reward him with the inheritance of one of the Three God Servants!

Although it was the method to obtain the inheritance, rather than directly giving the inheritance to himself, this kind of reward was absolutely invaluable!

After all, Divine Servants are beings on par with Law Gods, the most powerful existences on the Magic Continent!

With a thought, Li Changkong accepted the reward.

As he accepted the reward, a new panel appeared on his side.

On this panel, there was a piece of text.

[Steps to obtain the Demon Attendant Inheritance.]

1: [Please ensure the current electricity consumption of Li Village is more than doubled within five days, Host.]

Note: After this goal is achieved, the second task will be updated.

"More than double the electricity consumption?" Looking at this somewhat strange request, Li Changkong asked uncertainly, "Is it based on all the electricity currently supplied by our Li Village, and then doubling the consumption?"

"Host's understanding is correct."

"No..." Li Changkong scratched his head, "System, is there any direct connection between this goal and obtaining the Demon Attendant inheritance?"

Facing this question, Ye Tian did not explain.

Of course, an explanation would have become a cover-up.

After all, the Host was right, this task had absolutely no connection to the Demon Attendant inheritance.

It was entirely a short-term task that Ye Tian arranged for the Host, and it was a task that didn't require distributing rewards.

The main reason was that the Demon Attendant inheritance had not yet appeared, and Ye Tian could only issue some small tasks at this stage, so as not to let the Host be idle.

Facing Ye Tian's lack of response, Li Changkong could only sigh in the end and accept this task without being able to refuse.

Perhaps there really was some secret related to the Demon Attendant inheritance hidden within it.

After all, he had never heard of or seen this kind of inheritance before, and in Li Changkong's opinion, it was understandable for the tests and the like to be somewhat special.

Through self-rationalization, Li Changkong quickly accepted this task.

However, to double the electricity consumption supplied by Li Village within five days, he would need to get busy.

Before, this task would have been very difficult, but now, under the premise that the entire Busen City was under his control, the difficulty had decreased.

It would just be a bit troublesome.

On the System panel, under the 'Citizens' option, it showed that the sense of belonging of all the villagers of Li Village had risen from low back to medium.

The various buffs from before had temporarily returned.

Evidently, after the villagers personally witnessed Li Village defeating so many people from Busen City not long ago, their sense of belonging and identification with Li Village had been soaring!

However, for Li Changkong, this was no longer as important as before.

After all, the sense of belonging could only be said to be an extra gift after Li Village became powerful.

Overall improvement was certainly a good thing, but it didn't matter if the sense of belonging was low.

In the eyes of Li Changkong, the Village Chief, he only needed to be able to mobilize a portion of the people around him.

"I wonder what kind of reward there will be if I directly incorporate the population and territory of Busen City into the scope of Li Village," After understanding the task assigned by the System, Li Changkong then muttered to himself with some anticipation.

Busen City has a population of three million.

The scope of the entire City, even ten current Li Villages couldn't catch up!

After the victory in the battle against Maurice, all of this was waiting for him to take over!

...

A few hours later.

Li Changkong directly had the Man Bull Legion arrange for the prisoners of war in Li Village to engage in infrastructure construction.

With the System's task of doubling the electricity consumption ahead, power construction naturally had to be immediately put on the agenda.

Because he had the assets of Busen City, Li Changkong opened the appliance mall and started buying, buying, buying!

Tens of thousands of streetlights were purchased in bulk, cables were bought by the hundred kilometers, and various high-power appliances were ordered!

After the Materials were purchased, a large road filled with four rows of streetlights began to be built along the way from Li Village to Busen City!

Under the operation of the prisoners of war, the streetlights were erected one by one, and the patches of light, like sharp swords, pierced into the Darkness, constantly extending and advancing.

The Dark monsters in the Darkness under this situation all retreated into the Darkness.

While the prisoners of war were so busy, Li Changkong and San Ziye, escorted by some high-ranking officials from Busen City, had already arrived at Busen City.

The Soldiers who opened the City gates quickly opened the gates and lined up to welcome them when they saw Li Changkong and the others arrive.

The City defense Soldiers at this moment had clearly been replaced by their own people!

One could only say that Maurice was ultimately too careless.

He had never even considered the possibility of Li Village launching a sneak attack when facing their army of 30,000.

Otherwise, even if Maurice had left one Fei Kui, or another general, in Busen City, the Gaopeng Family wouldn't have been able to occupy Busen City so easily.

More likely, after Li Village annihilated Maurice's enemy forces, they would have formed a standoff with the 50,000 troops here in Busen City!

But that was also true, looking at it from another perspective.

Even when Li Changkong himself was in Maurice's position, he wouldn't have thought that Li Village had much capability.

After all, the appearance of the Man Bull Legion and San Ziye in Li Village was too incredible!

Only the System, which couldn't be explained by common sense, could achieve this.

"The name of this City should be changed," Li Changkong looked at the three words 'Busen City' on the City wall and said slowly.

"Let's call it Electric Light City," Li Changkong chose a name that was a bit vulgar, but also somewhat ahead of its time in this era.

Li Village had prospered by relying on the electricity and light provided by the System, and this new City name was very fitting for the current development direction of Li Village.

After Li Changkong's words fell, actions were immediately taken.

The text of Busen City was erased, and the three large characters 'Electric Light City' were re-engraved.

"I have a premonition that in the future, Electric Light City will become the technology capital of the World, relying on electrical technology," Dean, who was one step behind, said with a sense of anticipation when his gaze fixed on the name of the City.

Although he and the other two Viscounts had become Li Changkong's subordinates after signing contracts.

But they had never been exposed to electrical appliances and electrical weapons before.

During this time, they had seen the electric lights of Li Village and witnessed the power of the Man Bull Legion's electrical weapons.

These factors combined led to Dean's heartfelt Feelings.

"Master, we have gathered all the large and small Gaopeng Family in the City in the City Lord's Mansion. As long as they are controlled, this City can basically be completely taken over by you, Master," Raine said from the other side.

Although the entire City had a population of three million.

But the ones who truly managed this City were only the hundred or so large and small Gaopeng Family and the original high-ranking officials of the City Lord's Mansion.

Now that the high-ranking officials of the City Lord's Mansion had been dealt with, only those large and small Gaopeng Family remained.

In fact, it was already completely confirmed at this stage that Li Changkong was the new Lord of Electric Light City.

The reason for having Li Changkong meet the people from those large and small Gaopeng Family was merely to let them recognize Li Changkong as their new Lord, so they would know how to treat him respectfully when they met in the future.

Listening to Raine's words, Li Changkong nodded slightly.

Riding his horse, he led everyone into the City.

Recalling more than ten days ago, when he entered Busen City, he had to pay a fee, and he couldn't ride a horse, and he even had to cover his face on the road to avoid discrimination.

And now, Li Changkong had become the Lord of this City.

He who used to abide by the rules had become the one who set the rules!

...

The next day.

Busen City issued several major announcements to the citizens within the City!

1: Busen City is renamed immediately, [Electric Light City].

2: Acting City Lord Maurice suffered a sudden serious illness and died yesterday!

3: Electric Light City cannot be without a Lord for a day. According to the designated person in Acting City Lord Maurice's will and the discussions of the high-ranking officials, it was unanimously decided by a full vote that Li Changkong shall become the new City Lord!

Three announcements.

When they spread in the completely dark early morning, they caused a huge stir in the City!

Whether it was the renaming of Busen City, Maurice's sudden death from illness, or the establishment of a new City Lord.

None of these things could leave the citizens of the City feeling calm.

Of course, regarding this matter, the citizens in the City could only see these three pieces of information on the surface.

In the discussions, there were various opinions.

Regarding the renaming of the City.

Some said that Busen City was renamed because the inauspiciousness brought by the Darkness was becoming more and more severe, and it had to be renamed to get rid of the curse of inauspiciousness on the name of Busen City.

Regarding Maurice's sudden death from illness.

Those who discussed it said that Maurice worked tirelessly for the citizens in the City and ultimately died of exhaustion.

Of course.

Among these topics, the one with the highest discussion heat and the most concern among the public was the third matter.

The new City Lord!

Li Changkong, this name was very unfamiliar to many people in the City.

And some people who had had some cooperation with Li Village in the past, such as the Boss of the Tom Hotel, were very familiar with it.

However, even these few people who knew Li Changkong considered it to be a case of having the same name.

Mentally, they were still unable to connect a foreign Village Chief with the City Lord of their Busen City.

People were speculating about Li Changkong's identity and also worrying about where this new City Lord would lead Electric Light City in the future.

Amidst the endless discussions, many people also leaned towards some kind of Dark conflict, but in the end, these conversations could not have any result.

The conflicts among those at the top, for the people at the bottom, were at most like this, just some topics for conversation.

It was like opening the gates upstream and releasing water, the overwhelming flood made those who witnessed it feel terrified and frightened!

However, the real situation downstream was as still as water.

Only after a long period of time would the water level downstream rise slightly...

The rise here, on Li Changkong's side, was equivalent to power construction.

When the power facilities in the City were completely prepared, Electric Light City would also be completely transformed, thus getting rid of the shadow of Busen City!
