"Before we get things done, let me ask you a question: Do you have a chance to recruit players across the entire realm?"

The city lord of Jinling asked the question with great seriousness, and even the chief and his entourage all looked at Jiang Hao nervously.

Jiang Hao nodded and said, "Yes, there was a time when I didn't know what it was for, so I hadn't had a chance to use it."

After successfully defending the level 6 main city, the system gave Jiang Hao a lot of rewards. However, Jiang Hao was so busy after that, decorating the main city, ordering equipment and potions, and mining gold in the Black Dragon Palace that he didn't have time to look at the rewards in detail.

When the city lord of Jinling asked about it, Jiang Hao finally remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

The city lord of Jinling breathed a sigh of relief, and the leader and his entourage also relaxed.

The city lord of Jinling City said with a smile, "That's good, that's good. You saw it on your way to Jinling City, right? The entire Eastern Kingdom is packed with people. Forget about fighting monsters, it's difficult to even sit down and rest!"

Jiang Hao nodded. Actually, the skeletal roc had been flying above the clouds the entire way, completely unaware of the ground. It was only after arriving in Jinling City that he glanced down a few times to confirm his landing location. He simply felt it was best to go along with the Jinling City Lord at this point to avoid being scolded. So he nodded.

The city lord of Jinling smiled with satisfaction and said, "The situation in the Western Kingdom is a little better than here, but not by much. The Northern Ice Plains is different. Your Dingbei City is a level six main city, and the territory of the Northern Ice Plains has been expanded more than a hundred times over. Therefore, I discussed it with the city lord of Chang'an City and the chief and we made a decision."

Jiang Hao understood immediately; they just wanted to move some people to the northern ice plains.

Is this for real?

The more people there are in the northern ice plains, the greater the benefits Jiang Hao will reap!

What does the city lord do? He collects rent! Whether players are killing monsters, trading online, or running dungeons, as long as there are events, Jiang Hao can benefit from them.

Jiang Hao smiled brightly, revealing a set of small white teeth, which made his already handsome face even more radiant.

"What? Is there a problem?"

Jiang Hao immediately replied, "No problem, I agree! You're most welcome!"

The city lord of Jinling nodded in satisfaction again and said, "Good, then fly to Dingbei City immediately. Once you arrive, begin recruiting players."

The skeletal roc hovered next to the dome of the cathedral. Jiang Hao nodded, and his body flashed repeatedly, from the top of the cathedral door to the flying wall, and then to the arch. By the time everyone could see him clearly, he was already standing steadily on the skeletal roc.

A loud shout came from below from the city lord of Jinling: "Remember, player recruitment is done in the quest center!"

The last word was drawn out by the city lord of Jinling. Jiang Hao waved his hand impatiently, and with a thought, the skeletal roc flapped its wings and plunged into the clouds.

The city lord of Jinling immediately frowned. Jiang Hao had clearly not shown him, a city lord of a main city, the respect he deserved!

Perhaps they discovered Jiang Hao's flying method and realized that since Jiang Hao was flying above the clouds, he couldn't possibly see the dire situation on the ground in the Eastern Kingdom.

Jiang Hao and the skeletal roc plunged into the clouds and disappeared from sight. The city lord of Jinling sighed and cursed helplessly, "You brat!"

Then his expression changed, and with a fawning smile, he said, "Well, sir, shall we continue discussing the development project of the realm-class spaceship? I've already prepared the spaceship blueprints you mentioned a month ago, as well as all the materials needed for its construction..."

Jiang Hao flew rapidly northwards, and soon he had left the Eastern Kingdom and entered the Northern Ice Plains. However, the Northern Ice Plains were much larger than he had imagined, so the Skeleton Roc's movement speed appeared particularly slow on the map.

Having finally found a moment of free time, Jiang Hao had time to check the rewards he had received last time. Little did he know that what he saw would terrify him so much that he almost fell off the skeletal roc.

20 million free attribute points!

1 million skill points!

500,000 career points!

This is just the reward from the initial mission that the system gave us for successfully defending the city last time!

Jiang Hao grabbed the broad bones of the skeletal roc and regained his balance, still feeling somewhat dizzy. The sudden happiness made his heart pound as if it would burst.

Previously, how much were the rewards for the first clear of a dungeon on the entire server? Take the last first clear of Nightmare mode of [Shadow of Wailing] as an example. The system defaulted to clearing Normal, Hard and Nightmare modes for the first time, and the total reward was only 405 free attribute points, 204 skill points and 105 class points.

Jiang Hao knew how precious free attribute points were; aside from the rewards for first kills of various bosses and first clears of dungeons, they could only be obtained by leveling up.

Level 1, 5 points!

Skill points are even more scarce, only 1 point per level!

Jiang Hao learned legendary skills for his second and third skills, each requiring 1000 skill points to upgrade. To focus on upgrading these two skills, Jiang Hao even hesitated to upgrade his first skill, Resurrection, and has only accumulated slightly over 1000 skill points so far.

To this day, he has not upgraded any of his skills.

Because he was too conflicted!

Jiang Hao knew perfectly well how powerful the little skeletons summoned by his second skill were. If he could summon another powerful creature, he would be completely defeated in no time.

However, he couldn't bear not to upgrade his third skill. Each summoned creature he linked with was equivalent to creating an additional clone, significantly boosting his and the summoned creatures' strength.

Therefore, every time Jiang Hao made up his mind to upgrade his skills, he would always hesitate at the last moment. As a result, it has been delayed until now.

Now that we have an extra million out of nowhere, why are we still agonizing over it?

Full speed ahead!

It has to be maxed out!

In addition, there are profession points. These are the hardest to obtain. There are no rewards for leveling up; you can only get a tiny reward for achieving the first monster kill or the first dungeon clear.

Jiang Hao had spent a long time trying to accumulate 2,000 professional points in order to exchange for a legendary skill book, but he still couldn't get them. In the end, he was forced to accept a special mission involving tens of thousands of sows before he finally got the 2,000 professional points.

That's great! They got a 500,000 career points reward all at once!

The unit is ten thousand!

In addition, Jiang Hao received a special reward he had never seen before.

Two ancient martial arts manuals that can be redeemed for free.

What is this?

It seems really impressive.

Jiang Hao opened the city-building order and found an icon with an ancient pavilion style among a bunch of glowing icons. After clicking on it, Jiang Hao was stunned.
