"Why don't you just send me a message?"
Zhang Lin reluctantly put Yang Wenting down, then looked at the city lord. Yang Wenting stood prettily beside him, holding his arm and leaning against him.
"I sent it to you, did you see it?" the city lord asked in an unfriendly tone.
Although this ratman breeding base is located in the back mountain of the city lord's mansion, who would want to come to this place full of ratmen unless absolutely necessary!
She truly admired Zhang Lin.
With so many women around, he was still full of energy all day long, showing no signs of weakness, and... those women didn't fight.
What she couldn't understand the most was Xia Xiaonuan.
She had known Xia Xiaonuan for so long and understood Xia Xiaonuan's personality best.
Zhang Lin is such a scumbag.
Aside from throwing a tantrum when she first arrived, Xia Xiaonuan didn't say anything more after that.
This puzzled the city lord greatly.
She desperately wanted Xia Xiaonuan to fight with Zhang Lin so she could win Xia Xiaonuan back to her side.
Unfortunately, Xia Xiaonuan has not shown any intention of fighting with Zhang Lin so far.
Zhang Lin took out the old-fashioned mobile phone issued by the city lord, looked at the messages on it, and indeed, she had sent a message...
"Sorry, I was too busy just now and didn't see it."
The city lord ignored him.
His so-called "busyness" was actually doing bad things with women.
"What do you want to say? Tell me now."
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhang Lin took the initiative to ask.
Hurry up and tell me, don't ruin my good time.
However, the city lord knew him very well.
"Come with me to the city lord's mansion; it's not a convenient place to talk."
"..."
Zhang Lin pursed his lips speechlessly, "Okay."
Give her some face.
The City Lord's Mansion.
The two sat down, and Wu Zhihui served tea. He then stepped back and left, leaving only Zhang Lin and the city lord in the room.
Zhang Lin looked down at his cup. The tea was clear and fragrant, clearly brewed from good tea leaves. He suddenly became curious and peered into the city lord's cup, only to find that it was also tea.
He was immediately taken aback.
"I thought there was some kind of lubricant or something in your cup."
Beneath the mask, a pair of eyes stared intently at Zhang Lin.
The city lord clenched his fists.
"Are you even speaking human language?"
She hasn't sworn in a long time.
But now, I really can't hold back anymore.
Mechanization is her eternal pain.
But as a person with lofty ambitions, she is willing to sacrifice herself for the future of humanity. However, this does not mean that she will not get angry when someone makes fun of her.
"Ahem... I just said it offhand, don't mind it." Zhang Lin picked up his teacup somewhat embarrassedly, pretending to drink tea to ease the awkwardness.
He hadn't expected the city lord to care so much about this.
However, this is also a good thing. The more she cares, the greater the chance she will compromise when I can help her.
"The system is so easy to talk to. After it finishes updating, I'll discuss it with it and see if it can refresh the store with the items I want..." Zhang Lin thought to himself. Then, the city lord, whose anger could be felt even through the mask, asked, "What exactly is it? Tell me."
"Didn't we say before that we'd give you some rewards after the new era? I just wanted to ask you, do you want them?"
"Isn't that obvious? Who wouldn't want a reward?" Zhang Lin said irritably. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and looked at the city lord warily. "What do you mean? I have a feeling this is a trap."
"There are no traps, and the reward is real. However, you will have to collect it yourself," the city lord said calmly.
“Then I don’t want it,” Zhang Lin said decisively.
Go get it yourself.
What if there's a trap?
The city lord rolled her eyes helplessly. She knew that Zhang Lin did not trust her, so she stopped being mysterious and said directly, "It's not just you, Xia is going too, and I'm going too. The three of us will go together."
Zhang Lin chuckled and said, "I remember you said that the rewards after the New Era wouldn't just be for me and Xiao Nuan, right? Why are you only sending the two of us with you?"
He suspected that the city lord just wanted to hire two bodyguards.
The city lord knew he couldn't fool Zhang Lin, so he simply told the truth, "I will reward them in another way. This place is indeed where I need to go, and I do want to trouble you and Xia to protect me, but you will definitely not come for nothing, and you will definitely gain great benefits."
"What are the benefits?" Zhang Lin asked curiously.
"I don't know!" the city lord replied decisively.
"???" Zhang Lin looked at her with a face full of question marks.
Do you think I'm that easy to fool? You think I'll work hard with just an empty promise?
"I'll just say one thing: I go back to this place every time I reincarnate, and I only go there by myself. And... the reason I'm different from others is also because of this place." The city lord's tone became calm at this moment.
Zhang Lin's breathing became somewhat rapid.
What sets the city lord apart from others is that she awakened her memories very early, possibly several years before the apocalypse.
This allowed her to make many preparations.
The buildings of Hope City, the property management staff serving the post-apocalyptic world, the staff who can refine blood pills, and the staff who can handle the remnants of supernatural beings...
These logistical support personnel, who should have appeared much later in the apocalypse, were present from the very beginning of the game for the city lord.
If she were just an ordinary person with no great ambitions, with all these preparations she made, she could live an incredibly comfortable life in the apocalypse.
No one knows the secret behind her premature awakening of memories.
And now, she's actually willing to share with Zhang Lin and Xia Xiaonuan...
Zhang Lin was initially excited, but after the excitement subsided, he looked at the city lord warily, "What is your purpose? I don't believe you would share such a huge benefit with me and Xiao Nuan for nothing."
"You don't have to believe me, just ask Xia. You just need to trust her." The city lord had expected this and said calmly, "Actually, I only wanted to bring you this time, but I know you don't trust me, so I brought Xia along as well."
It can only be said that the city lord knows Zhang Lin too well.
After saying that, she clapped her hands and said without turning her head, "Xia, come in."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Xiaonuan pushed open the door and entered.
“Zhang Lin, the city lord wouldn’t lie to you about this. She’s taking you there because she wants to give you some benefits.” Xia Xiaonuan believed the city lord without hesitation.
She knows the city lord too well.
She had told Zhang Lin before that if Zhang Lin had enough potential, the city lord would help him without hesitation.
However, Xia Xiaonuan did not expect that the city lord would choose to share her secret with Zhang Lin this time.
She was starting to feel a little jealous.
As a long-time friend of the city lord, the city lord never intended to share the secret with her.
Fortunately, they all understood Zhang Lin's personality.
Without gaining Zhang Lin's trust through Xia Xiaonuan, given Zhang Lin's personality, he wouldn't go out alone with the city lord to a place he'd never been before.
So now she can also get a piece of the city lord's big secret.
