"Black Tortoise City Lord Aiborn is transferring the City Lord position to you. Do you accept?"

[Accept] [Refuse]

Lin Yi stared wide-eyed at the prompt in front of him:

"Holy crap!"

"They really gave it to me!"

Initially, Lin Yi had no hopes for this at all.

However, reality always takes one by surprise.

But when Lin Yi saw it was Black Tortoise City Lord Aiborn, he had a bit of realization.

Clearly, he must have known why Lin Yi suddenly wanted this City Lord position.

In the Mercenary Corps channel just now, he was the only one without questions.

Faced with Aiborn's understanding, Lin Yi didn't hesitate and chose:

[Accept]

This involved a billion gold coins and a third-tier 'Divine Artifact'!

Courtesy was nonexistent for Lin Yi in this situation.

But just as Lin Yi accepted the City Lord position, a red system notification suddenly popped up:

"Chosen One 'Proud Gaze Lord' requests to establish a third Guild station at coordinates (Black Tortoise City Rainforest 3665: 155). Please choose:"

[Agree] [Refuse]

Remarks:

1. Applicant's materials are ready: City Building Order 1/1√

2. Applicant's reputation in Black Tortoise City: Respectful/Friendly√

3. Applicant's position in Black Tortoise City: Centurion/Team Leader√

Lin Yi's eyes widened instantly:

"This is..."

Looking at the prompt, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a bit amused:

"I just took over and there's already 'business'!"

But what caught Lin Yi off guard was still to come.

Just as Lin Yi was about to decide for Aiborn and choose [Agree], before he could press it, another prompt box popped up:

"Cyan Dragon City Lord Babylon is transferring the City Lord position to you. Do you accept?"

[Accept] [Refuse]

Babylon [Mercenary Corps member]: "I'm giving you this City Lord position, but I'm warning you, don't mess around! If Father God gets angry, don't blame me for not being kind."

Nidya [Mercenary Corps member]: "Sent it to you, handle it yourself."

"Vermilion Bird City Lord Nidya is transferring the City Lord position to you. Do you accept?"

[Accept] [Refuse]

"White Tiger City Lord Montero is transferring the City Lord position to you. Do you accept?"

[Accept] [Refuse]

"Ussuri City Lord Edward Gibson is transferring the City Lord position to you. Do you accept?"

[Accept] [Refuse]

"Moria City Lord Hera is transferring the City Lord position to you. Do you accept?"

[Accept] [Refuse]

Looking at the stream of messages popping up in front of him.

In shock, Lin Yi's eyes unexpectedly reddened in an instant.

Hera (Mercenary Corps member): "There's not much happening in the city right now, no rush to return."

Montero (Mercenary Corps member): "I'm reminding you, don't mess around."

Looking at these seemingly casual short sentences from these people, Lin Yi suddenly felt a surge of emotion.

It's not that Lin Yi is weak.

But this scene right before him is too heartbreaking.

This is a City Lord position in a Main City!!

Look at how effortlessly they offered it.

But Lin Yi knows better than anyone:

If anything goes wrong in this city because of him, the system will never spare these instigators entrusted with responsibility.

These moments can't be described with just a few words.

Every system notification carries their heavy trust in him.

Each Main City involves the interests of countless players and natives.

They are willing to give up the City Lord position just because of one word from him.

This can't be summed up with a simple word 'trust'.

Originally just trying out on a whim, Lin Yi never expected such a heartwarming response, greatly touching his heart.

Feng Hua (Mercenary Corps leader): "Thank you all for the trust, but it's not needed anymore, thank you again."

The fact has proven.

Lin Yi's efforts over the past year weren't in vain.

It also strengthened Lin Yi's determination to protect this land.

Since they sincerely treated him, how could he let them down?

After Lin Yi chose [Refuse] on all the prompts, he activated conditions [2], [3], [6] to enter the third floor.

With Lin Yi's choice.

The barrier blocking Lin Yi vanished.

Meanwhile, in the Black Tortoise City hall, Proud Gaze Lord looked baffled at the prompt:

"Black Tortoise City Lord rejected your application."

[Confirm]

Proud Gaze Lord looked at Aiborn sitting on the throne in confusion:

"Didn't you say it was okay before?"

"How come..."

Just as Proud Gaze Lord wanted to ask why his application was rejected, Aiborn stopped him:

"Wait a moment."

Proud Gaze Lord stood in the hall, silent and timid, as Aiborn sat expressionlessly.

After a few minutes, Aiborn suddenly spoke:

"Apply again."

Proud Gaze Lord: "...Alright."

...

Before entering the third floor of the Library Pavilion, Lin Yi had imagined numerous possibilities.

But when Lin Yi actually arrived, he was deeply shocked by the sight:

"Holy crap!"

"So many!"

The third floor wasn't like the first and second levels.

There were rows of shelves filled with various equipment and skill books.

But the shock the third floor brought to Lin Yi absolutely rivaled the previous two floors and even surpassed them.

On the long table was a row of uniform, tri-color glowing demigod equipment, with dozens of pieces.

The reason Lin Yi was so shocked was that.

On the limited shelves of the third floor, there was nothing but demigod-level equipment!

Even as a Reincarnator, Lin Yi only had two or three demigod items.

Probably 98% of the players in this game have never seen the true form of a demigod item, right?

But now Lin Yi was looking at them neatly arranged, dozens of pieces glowing with tri-color light. How could one stay calm?

How could it not be shocking!

In a single glance, among these demigod items, there were:

Weapons, armor, jewelry, and even a pet egg radiating flowing light and colors.

"A pet egg?"

Looking at the standout pet egg, Lin Yi couldn't help but approach out of curiosity:

[Battle Pet: Frost Phoenix]

Tier: Mythical

Description: "'Frost Phoenix' is a variant of the Fire Phoenix clan, possessing immense power to freeze the world, classified as: Exotic from the heavens and earth."

"It's a Mythical-tier battle pet, the highest tier!"

Lin Yi was startled by the information displayed.

It's a tier above Lin Yi's current Golden Behemoth!

Although shocking, that's where it ends.

Lin Yi already has an Elf Dragon and a Jade Qilin, as well as the battle pet Golden Behemoth.

In terms of tier, the Jade Qilin and it (Frost Phoenix) are probably the same level.

If it were to hatch, replacing the current Golden Behemoth would be necessary.

However, Lin Yi had no intention of giving up on the Golden Behemoth.

So, although this pet egg is rare, compared to the previous [Glorious Battle Armor], it still falls short.

At this moment, a uniquely designed ring name next to the pet egg caught Lin Yi's attention.

Lin Yi casually picked it up to take a look:

[Elf Holy Ring Lv0 Demigod] [Exclusive to Elf King]
