"To enter the third layer of the Library Pavilion, you need to meet at least three of the following conditions, please choose:"

1. Pay 1 billion Gold Coins: 1.93 million/10 million

2. Simultaneously hold the positions of three Racial Leaders: 5/3

3. Simultaneously hold the position of three City Lords: 2/3

4. Have the reputation of 10 or more races reach the highest level (Respect): 9/10

5. Own a level 20 Guild headquarters, hold the title of President for 1 year: 0/1

6. Top 3 in the World Power Ranking: 1/1

7. Hold the title of Vice Commander-in-Chief or above in the Anti-Demon Corps: 0/1

Lin Yi looked at the options in front of him with a troubled face and couldn't help blurting out:

"This is so damn frustrating!"

He couldn't believe that he still couldn't meet the conditions to enter the third layer!!

The key was that among these conditions, he was just one short of entering the third layer.

But this one limitation made him stuck, which was quite hard to accept.

Looking at the first condition above, even someone like Lin Yi, who had no concept of money, couldn't help but take a deep breath:

"1 billion Gold Coins?"

"Do they have a Divine Artifact upstairs? Why so much!"

Lin Yi rubbed his somewhat swollen head, looking at the restrictions in front of him.

Currently, he only met conditions 2 and 6.

Among them, condition 7 was actually achievable for Lin Yi with his double alliance Chief Commander status.

But unfortunately, Lin Yi's Honor Points were not enough now, and he hadn't activated this title yet.

Even if he went on a rampage against the Demon Race to earn Honor now, a day wouldn't be enough to activate the Corps title.

Therefore, this one was effectively worthless, too.

Condition 3 required holding the position of three City Lords simultaneously.

And now Lin Yi held the City Lord statuses for the Floating City and Flame Demon Mountain City, but was one short of meeting the condition, which was also quite frustrating for Lin Yi.

Condition 4 was even more far-fetched.

Having the reputation of ten races reach 'Respect'!!!

With a condition like this, probably no one in the game could achieve such an insane requirement right now.

Lin Yi currently had the reputation of nine races at the 'Respect' level.

This was because he held the Racial Leader status of five races simultaneously.

When Lin Yi obtained the Leader title, the reputation was automatically raised to the highest level.

Five Racial Leaders, counting the Werewolf Race, Goblin Race, Lizardmen Race, and Succubus Race reputations, made exactly nine.

Just one short!

Lin Yi felt so frustrated he could spit blood:

"Not playing fair!"

Although just one short, it was similar to condition 7.

Completing one race to the highest reputation level again soon was not something achievable in a week or two.

So this one could also be directly scrapped.

As for the next condition 5, no need to think about it either.

The highest Guild headquarters level now was Feng Hua at level 9.

Level 20?

That would be at least one or two years away.

Moreover, there's a time limit, requiring holding the President title for a year.

Looking at the option panel in front of him, Lin Yi's face was full of helplessness.

Should he give up on the opportunity to go to the third layer just like that?

Of course not!

Lin Yi kept pondering these restrictions, and if he wanted to satisfy the third condition shortly, obviously, the 1 billion Gold Coins was the 'easiest' to achieve right now.

But doing so might drain all of Lin Yi's 'savings' of the past year.

According to the current Gold Coin exchange rate, 1 billion Gold Coins was equivalent to 10 billion Reality Coins.

This wasn't a small sum for anyone.

Especially not for an ordinary person like Lin Yi.

But if he chose to meet this condition, Lin Yi had to consider a very real problem.

Even if he could come up with those 10 billion Reality Coins, gathering 1 billion Gold Coins shortly wasn't simple.

Perhaps he could buy in bulk through the auction house, but by doing so, he might end up paying more than just 10 billion Reality Coins.

When someone buys a large amount of Gold Coins, nobody would stupidly sell them to you at market price.

With the keen business acumen of game merchants, price hikes were inevitable.

Lin Yi was considering whether doing this was worth it?

Or should he forgo this opportunity, activate the Chief Commander title, and then look for another opportunity later?

As Lin Yi was in a dilemma about this, looking at the third restriction on the screen:

3. Simultaneously hold the position of three City Lords: 2/3

A sudden idea flashed in his mind, and his face was full of excitement:

"Got it!"

If this method worked.

This would not only save Lin Yi that 1 billion Gold Coins but also allow Lin Yi to go to the third layer now without waiting for another chance later.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi directly opened the Mercenary Corps interface and sent a message in the Mercenary Corps channel:

Feng Hua (Mercenary Corps Leader): "@Babylon, @Aiborn, @Nidya, @Montero, urgent help needed. Are the four of you available to transfer the City Lord position to me? I'll return it after using it."

Luckily, Tian Ci and others were not online at this time.

Otherwise, they would think Lin Yi was crazy seeing what he said.

Was the position of City Lord of the Four Major Cities something that could be given out just like that?

These Four Major Cities concerned billions of players in the Hua Country War Zone!

Lin Yi's idea was to directly take over the City Lord position from them to meet the third condition.

Only one needed to be willing to give up the City Lord position.

In fact, Lin Yi wasn't sure if this would work.

But since it might involve a 'Divine Artifact,' Lin Yi had no choice but to shamelessly make this request, which seemed utterly absurd and unrealistic.

As soon as Lin Yi sent out the message, the Mercenary Corps channel blew up:

Babylon (Mercenary Corps Member): "Kid, what are you up to, planning a rebellion?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Nidya (Mercenary Corps Member): "Yo, little guy. Since when did you start targeting our group? Spill it, what do you want to do?"

Montero (Mercenary Corps Member): "Hmm?"

Edward Gibson (Mercenary Corps Member): "You asked them, why not ask me?" (Indonesia War Zone · Ussuri City)

Hera (Mercenary Corps Member): "Doesn't the little brother want my Moria City?" (Succubus Race · Moria City)

Looking at their replies, Lin Yi felt a bit overwhelmed:

Feng Hua (Mercenary Corps Member): "Folks, stop teasing me, one word: will you help me with this?"

Feng Hua (Mercenary Corps Leader): "Any of you can do it, I'll just borrow it and give it back, I promise not to mess around."

At this moment, a prompt popped up in front of Lin Yi:

"Aiborn, the City Lord of Black Tortoise City, has transferred the City Lord position to you. Do you accept?

[Accept] [Reject]
