Knowing she lacked the power to end this apocalypse, the city lord changed her goals long ago, positioning herself as a guide.
She strives to cultivate a perfect savior for humanity in every way.
She also had a standard in mind for this savior.
First, one must possess strong personal abilities; second, one must have leadership skills to command all human forces; and third, one must have a sense of responsibility towards the human race and a mission to end the apocalypse.
So far, among all the people the city lord has encountered, Zhang Lin is the one who meets the first two requirements the most.
His strength is immense, that goes without saying.
Then there's the aspect of leadership skills...
Generally, excellent leaders rely on their personal charisma to unite all forces. Zhang Lin does not have such personal charisma, but he has another advantage.
He's ruthless.
If you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm!
A compassionate person cannot command an army, and a righteous person cannot manage finances!
Ruthlessness is also a necessary condition for being a leader.
Moreover, Zhang Lin is shameless; he's capable of anything...
Therefore, in the city lord's view, his leadership ability was up to standard.
So, only one last bit is left.
Responsibility and mission.
She hoped that Zhang Lin could step forward this time and, as the leader of all forces in Rongcheng and the surrounding areas, lead humanity through this beast tide.
But the problem is that these are the two things that Zhang Lin lacks the most.
Therefore, the city lord was quite straightforward and allowed Zhang Lin to set any conditions he wanted.
Let's put Zhang Lin in the position of leader first. Maybe after a big battle, he'll develop a sense of responsibility and mission.
But Zhang Lin was not swayed by just one condition. Instead, he said, "You still owe me one condition."
"I know, I can grant you this condition first, and then owe you another condition, how about that?" The city lord was now going all out, since he had plenty of debts to repay.
"I haven't decided yet, no rush," Zhang Lin said with a smile, then stopped mentioning the alliance leader matter, chuckled, and turned to leave.
Just kidding, you can't make a condition so easily.
We must obtain the greatest benefit!
The city lord was so angry that even the pastries in her mouth lost their flavor. After watching Zhang Lin's figure disappear, she shook her head helplessly after a long while, "You're so lazy, you might as well die!"
Zhang Lin left the city lord's mansion and headed straight for the Qiao family.
Hope City is very big.
In addition to the hundred villas built by the city lord, there is also this large open space where houses have been built. In other places, all the residents of Hope City have spontaneously built a large number of defensive fortifications.
Even though Qiao Yu is a newcomer and is now valued by the city lord, becoming his deputy, and his daughter is one of the 12 captains, his residence is still relatively remote.
Zhang Lin walked for a while before finally stopping in front of a row of houses.
Most of the residents here are from Jinyu County.
So, as soon as he arrived, Qiao Yu knew.
"Captain Zhang is here!"
Qiao Yu immediately took his daughter out to greet them.
"Um."
Zhang Lin nodded, looked at Qiao Ruoxi beside him, mentally called out to the system, and then Qiao Ruoxi's data panel appeared in front of him.

——————
She indeed meets the system's standards for high-quality human women.
Although her score was slightly lower than Jin Sina's, Zhang Lin believed that winning her over was not as difficult as winning over Jin Sina.
Her extraordinary template is only of the rare level, but judging from the descriptions of her two abilities, her abilities are quite good and she has considerable potential.
"Xixi, take the gifts that Captain Zhang brought, let's go back inside and talk." Qiao Yu saw Zhang Lin arrive as promised, even carrying a bag of things, and his old face was all smiles, almost wrinkled like a chrysanthemum.
Qiao Ruoxi, seeing Zhang Lin's gaze fixed on her, immediately became nervous and anxious... Could he really like me?
She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look up at Zhang Lin. Then, following her father's instructions, she took the things from Zhang Lin's hands and turned to walk home first.
The items were taken out of Zhang Lin's spatial ring on the way; they weren't anything valuable, just some food.
But for Qiao Yu, this was a very important statement.
He was very happy and immediately took Zhang Lin and followed Qiao Ruoxi back home together.
Qiao Ruoxi boiled water.
Qiao Yu then took out his treasured tea leaves and asked Qiao Ruoxi to brew tea for Zhang Lin.
Qiao Ruoxi, on the other hand, didn't look at Zhang Lin at all. She just kept her head down and did her work. After pouring the tea, she sat down to the side with her head down and didn't say a word.
Next, Qiao Yu and Zhang Lin chatted casually.
Although Qiao Yu is Zhang Lin's future father-in-law in terms of status, he dares not act like a father-in-law in front of Zhang Lin. On the contrary, he is very humble.
