Even if the city lord had canceled the challenge mechanism, let alone if the challenge mechanism were still in place, a team leader would still have to report to the city lord if he wanted to challenge another team leader.
In particular, Zhang Lin killed Chen Junyu.
This is tantamount to challenging the authority of the city lord.
Qiao Yu was naturally very worried.
Although Zhang Lin had acted arrogantly when dealing with the Golden Crowned Giant Eagle, not even putting the city lord in his eyes.
But after seeing that Zhang Lin and the city lord had a very good relationship, he thought it was all an act.
His daughter just married Zhang Lin; what if Zhang Lin clashes with the city lord...?
To put it bluntly...
His investment was completely lost.
It's fair to say that Qiao Yu is more anxious than anyone else right now.
Where is Xixi?
Zhang Lin gave him a strange look, but didn't reply. Instead, he peeked into the house and searched for a long time, but couldn't find Qiao Ruoxi.
"Xixi went to find a place to bury Chen Junyu's ashes." Qiao Yu had a wry smile on his face. "Aren't you worried?"
“Since I dare to kill, I’m definitely not afraid of the consequences. I’m not in a hurry, so why are you?” Zhang Lin couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
This is truly a case of the emperor not being worried while the eunuch is.
"Where did Xixi go? Tell me, I'll go find her," Zhang Lin asked again.
Qiao Yu looked outside and said, "No need to look anymore, she's back."
Zhang Lin also looked over and indeed saw Qiao Ruoxi walking home from outside.
So Zhang Lin turned around and went to find Qiao Ruoxi.
Qiao Yu looked at Zhang Lin's back and was filled with admiration. He didn't know what gave Zhang Lin his confidence, but he was truly impressed by Zhang Lin's calm attitude.
"Why did you come here?"
Before Qiao Ruoxi even got home, she saw Zhang Lin walking towards her. A look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she quickly took two steps to stand gracefully in front of Zhang Lin.
She knew Zhang Lin had many women.
With so many competitors, and Zhang Lin having just killed someone here yesterday, yet still remembering to come looking for her the next day, Qiao Ruoxi felt very valued and was very happy.
"Let's go outside and talk."
Zhang Lin took her little hand and left Qiao Yu's house. He had no sense of humor about doing that to someone else's daughter in front of her father.
Hope City is packed with people, so crowded that it's impossible to get anything done. My own home is even more cramped, with no space at all, and I can't go anywhere else.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Lin decided to bring Qiao Ruoxi to the City Lord's Mansion, where they could finally have a quiet place to talk.
The city lord was busy, and Wu Zhihui was not there, but none of the guards in the city lord's mansion dared to stop Zhang Lin. He entered an empty room at the back of the city lord's mansion as if it were empty.
“Since you’ve come with me, I don’t have any other gifts to give you, so here’s an Awakening Gem.” Zhang Lin took out a purple gem and handed it to her.
"Awakening Gem!" Qiao Ruoxi's eyes widened in disbelief.
She recognized this thing and had used it before, but that was long after the New Era. In the past, she was only able to get a few by relying on the power of the Golden Feather County settlement.
Chen Junyu went first, Qiao Yu went next, and she was the third to go.
If she gets no more than three, she won't get a turn.
Now, at the beginning of the new era, Zhang Lin took out an Awakening Gem and gave it to her directly.
"This...is it really for me?"
She asked, stammering.
"What's given to you, my women already have."
She didn't dare to take it, but Zhang Lin simply stuffed it into her hand.
Holding the gemstone that still carried Zhang Lin's warmth, Qiao Ruoxi finally felt relieved as she woke up from her dream. After a moment, she whispered, "Thank you..."
"No need to thank me, we're all family now."
As Zhang Lin spoke, he pulled her into his arms.
Qiao Ruoxi was completely stunned by the gemstone and obediently leaned over to it. Of course, she had also completely accepted Zhang Lin.
"Let's use the gems first."
Zhang Lin wasn't in a hurry; instead, he planned to let her awaken the new template first.
"Use it now?"
"What if it fails..."
Qiao Ruoxi hesitated for a moment.
She was awakened using an awakening potion; her template was fixed and could not be changed.
If you use an Awakening Gem, you can awaken a template that is very suitable for you based on your own situation.
However, if you awaken first with an awakening potion and then with an awakening gem, there is a chance of success.
Using an Awakening Gem has a chance of generating a new template that overwrites the old one, but there is also a chance that the overwriting will fail.
In other words, there is a certain chance of wasting an Awakening Gem without obtaining a new Extraordinary Template.
After the new era, if someone is lucky enough to obtain an Awakening Gem, the user will take many supplementary measures to increase the chances of success.
Use directly...
Awakening Gems are too precious to be used without any preparation.
But who is Zhang Lin? He doesn't care about that.
"Use it, use it boldly. If it fails, I'll give you another one."
Zhang Lin waved his hand, his face full of heroic spirit.
Qiao Ruoxi thought Zhang Lin was incredibly handsome at that moment, so she didn't hesitate any longer and used the gem directly.
Purple energy surged into her forehead.
A moment later, she opened her eyes, her eyes filled with surprise.
"It's a success!"
Immediately, she exclaimed with relief, "It was a success on the first try! We didn't waste a second gem!"
What template?
Zhang Lin asked casually.
He could actually see for himself, but at this moment, it was better to listen to her than to see for himself.
"It's a magic-based character, still a legendary template, with three abilities..."
