"Thank you, Zhang Lin."

The city lord breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, Zhang Lin had spared Jin Sina out of consideration for her.

However, she immediately felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.

Given Zhang Lin's personality, who knows what outrageous demands he might make...

Kim Sina knelt on the ground, completely losing her spirit, and lay sprawled on the ground like a living dead.

That was a huge blow.

The gap in strength.

The city lord's favoritism.

Moreover, she only survived because the city lord begged for her life.

She also heard what the city lord said.

The city lord doesn't know what price he'll have to pay to save her...

Zhang Lin ignored Jin Sina.

He could tell that Kim Sina had completely lost her fighting spirit.

The system is the most important thing.

"In this update, the system has fixed a bug that could allow the host to maliciously farm points, completely eliminating this possibility."

Upon hearing the first sentence, Zhang Lin's face darkened.

Damn system, I should have farmed some points first.

"The purpose of this system is to develop the host's family and build a harmonious, happy, and prosperous family with potential for common development. The host's previous idea was wrong. Seeking multiple ordinary women to maliciously obtain system rewards will not achieve the system's goal. Therefore, this system has been adjusted."

The system remained very harmonious, and knowing that Zhang Lin was unhappy, it immediately spoke up to explain.

"So what is your new reward system?"

Zhang Lin asked expectantly.

"Previously, each wife received a fixed reward of 6 prosperity points. Now, the system's reward criteria have been adjusted. The host can view the target's data, and the system will give a score. There are five aspects: figure, appearance, temperament, health, and character. Each aspect is worth 20 points, for a total of 100 points. If the total score exceeds 75, the woman is considered a high-quality woman, and the host will receive prosperity points equivalent to the score after marrying her."

"Is this Jin Sina the high-quality woman you were talking about before?" Zhang Lin asked in his mind.

"View Jin Sina's data panel?"

Of course I checked it.

Immediately, a data panel appeared in front of her that would normally only appear if she became his woman.

——————

"Holy crap, I can get 91 prosperity points!"

Zhang Lin was shocked.

"After the system adjusted the reward mechanism, the host can focus on finding high-quality women and forming relationships with them. The rewards are more generous, so the host doesn't have to lower their standards for the sake of rewards."

"Great system, so thoughtful!"

Zhang Lin gave the system a thumbs up in his heart for its thoughtful design, but at the same time he was a little doubtful. Who designed this system? It was modified so carelessly, as if it were a game.

"Little Jin, get up." The city lord came to Jin Sina's side at this moment, stroking her golden hair. "From now on, go back to Hope City, stay by my side, and continue to serve me."

After all, he was once his trusted and beloved general.

Seeing how badly Jin Sina had been hit, the city lord felt very sorry for her.

Jin Sina lay prone on the ground, ignoring the mud and decaying leaves, her fair face pressed completely against the ground, unmoved by the city lord's attempts to comfort her.

At this moment, Zhang Lin looked at the city lord.

"System, check her score."

A data panel appeared in a flash.

——————

After looking at the city lord's attribute panel, Zhang Lin was stunned.

Holy crap, the city lord's overall score is so low!

Holy crap, the city lord is so young!

Holy crap, the city lord's stats are amazing!

Holy crap, the city lord's extraordinary template is actually only at the second tier!

Holy crap, that old fox city lord is really cunning; he even has nuclear weapons!

He swallowed hard, feeling a chill run through his body.

For so long, he's been carrying a nuclear bomb under his backside, and it's a 30-kiloton one at that...

Previously, when the city was besieged by zombies, the city lord even used explosives.

Isn't she afraid of accidentally detonating a nuclear bomb?

Zhang Lin was somewhat relieved. Fortunately, he hadn't broken ties with the city lord before. This woman was really hiding her true intentions; she truly had the ability to take him down with her!
