Chapter 521: No Longer the City Lord
Molan City, Chaos City, and Mercenary City are located in the south, east, and west districts of Exile Star respectively.
The southern district of Molan City is the farthest from the northern district where the global village is located. Even the vast ocean has not yet extended to the farthest southern district.
The main brain suddenly got stuck, [ah this]
Yun Qimu didn't give it a chance to hesitate. "It's just a word: yes or no. You have to think it over carefully. This is the best opportunity to expand our territory and turn Exile Star into a global village."
The mastermind gritted its teeth and said, "Yes."
[However, the school, mercenary hall, and treasure appraisal hall will be postponed.]
This time it was Yun Qimu's turn to be conflicted, but based on the principle that none of the four major cities could be lost and that we should first defend ourselves against external harassment and then maintain domestic stability, it was not impossible for the buildings and facilities to be moved back.
Yun Qimu's expression was serious. "Alright, let's do this. Send a system message to Mo Xie to save him the trouble of moving the city. I hope he hasn't brought the citizens here yet, otherwise..."
Mastermind: [I'll be there right away.]
"Ji boy, why are you still standing here? Didn't you go buy some potion? Did you get it?" A dark and thin old man with ordinary clothes, average height and ordinary looks came towards them with a kind smile on his face and his hands behind his waist.
As he walked, he turned his head to look left and right, just like the group of people following him, with a curious expression on his face.
Dongfang Ji's eyes lit up. "Uncle Hei, Uncle Wang. I haven't bought the potion yet. I met Village Chief Yun here. We're discussing the merger of Mercenary City into Global Village."
"Oh, it's Village Chief Yun, the owner of this town." The group of people suddenly understood, with light in their eyes.
Some of the younger ones even had admiration on their faces.
After Dongfang Ji returned, in order to avoid taking the position of city lord, he praised Global Village a lot, and of course, Yun Qimu, the village chief, was also praised a lot by him.
As a result, the young people immediately admired the man who could become the chief of the magical Global Village, especially after they took a tour of the Global Town and felt the fresh air without a trace of pollution, the extremely clean water, and the land where green vegetables could be grown. The more they looked at it, the more magical they felt that this Global Village was.
As Dongfang Ji said, being able to join here is truly a blessing that they have accumulated over eight lifetimes.
Hei Bo was a strong man who had been outside the interstellar space. He knew that even in the interstellar space, there was no such clean water and such fertile land that could grow good vegetables in the main city of the empire.
So he understands even more that the global village is a rare and wonderful place.
He didn't expect that he would encounter such an opportunity when he was old. Maybe he could take this opportunity to break through his supernatural powers and increase his lifespan by thousands of years.
Of course, the most important thing is the potion, the light potion, the holy potion. If what Ji Xiaozi said is true, then he doesn't have to worry about the explosion of dark matter in his body. By then, even if his superpowers increase, he will still die.
As they thought this, they had already walked up to him and greeted Yun Qimu enthusiastically and excitedly.
Yunqi Mu also smiled gently and nodded, "Welcome to Earth Town."
After that, she gave Dongfang Ji some basic instructions on the arrangements for the Mercenary City, and then continued on her way forward with her father and younger brother.
After watching her leave, Hei Bo and his group immediately surrounded her with sparkling eyes and chattered excitedly in Dongfang Ji's ear.
"Village Chief Yun is so beautiful! She is the most beautiful person I have ever seen."
"Village Chief Yun mentioned that the Mercenary City should be renamed East City. I think that's a good idea. Ever since the ocean appeared, mercenaries have switched to fishermen. Calling the Mercenary City "Mercenary City" is no longer appropriate. I was thinking it might be renamed Fisherman City, but East City still sounds more impressive."
"Master Ji, what are the arrangements for us in East City? Do we need to go back and tell them?"
Dongfang Ji's face was subconsciously filled with resistance. How could he be willing to go back to this paradise? Even though Mercenary City had been incorporated into Global Village, the shops and other things could not compare to Earth Town. Here there were pharmacies, weapons and equipment stores, arenas, and most importantly, there was Louwailou.
Dongfang Ji was very poor before. In order to save money to defeat the poisonous dragon, he didn't even have a good meal.
Now he has killed the poisonous dragon and emptied its private house. After paying the three bosses and Ava, he still has a lot of energy coins left. This time he has to buy houses, potions, and delicious food. He has to buy everything.
But after calculating, Dulong's private money is still not enough, because it is not only needed by him, but also by Hei Bo, a group of close relatives left by his parents and grandfather, and a group of friends. He has to feed so many mouths. If the money is divided, how much will be left for each person?
Dongfang Ji's eyes suddenly went dark, and his smile gradually disappeared. "No, I'm not going back. I still need to make money. Just send someone back to tell them. I don't care about that. I don't want to be the city lord anymore. I don't care about their food, drink, defecation, and future."
His tone was very cold.
"Besides, we have the system. We just need to follow the system's instructions. It's fair and just, and it'll make their lives better than having a city lord oppressing them. They might even wish I didn't exist as their city lord."
This is quite true. Everyone in the Mercenary City is a capable person. They are good at fighting alone, fighting alone, and completing missions in groups. If it weren't for the poisonous dragon above them, they would have a better life.
Now that the poisonous dragon is gone, they probably don’t want another city lord.
Except for some people who had followed Dongfang Ji's grandfather and still had some regrets and nostalgia, the other young people were quite happy and happily accepted the arrangement that Dongfang Ji would no longer be the city lord.
"Okay, let's do it." Hei Bo did not object, but was very relieved.
The reason why he has been protecting Dongfang Ji and others in the Mercenary City all these years is because he received a favor from the old city lord. He promised to protect the Mercenary City and his daughter and grandson.
Now that the mercenary city is gone, it is actually a relief for him. He likes to be alone and live a free and easy life. He has been carrying so many responsibilities for so many years and has had to follow the intrigues. Even his apprentice has to be sent to the enemy as an undercover agent. He is already tired.
Considering the danger of returning to Mercenary City from Earth Town, Hei Bo suggested, "I'll go back and you guys stay here."
Just consider it as the last thing he does for Mercenary City.
"Great, then I'll trouble Hei Bo." Dongfang Ji's eyes sparkled. Hei Bo was an SSS-level psychic with the strongest strength. He could handle any danger he encountered on the road, so he was indeed the best person to go back and report the news.
"Oh, Hei Bo, wait for me to buy you a light potion and drink it before you go back. Too much dark matter in the body is always a hidden danger. I don't have enough energy coins for the more expensive holy potion yet, so I'll have to buy it later."
