"What good news?" the city lord asked immediately.
Her eyes were full of anticipation, and she wondered if Zhang Lin had a way to deal with the gods.
This is the most important thing in her mind right now.
Unlike Zhang Lin, Zhang Lin's thinking was very simple: if the gods really made a move, he would just risk his life to kill one of them, which wouldn't be a loss for him; he had a more peaceful mindset.
Although he didn't want to die, if he really reached a point where there was no way out, he could calmly accept his death, as long as he could take his enemy with him before he died, that would be enough.
The city lord, however, was different. All she could think about was the survival of humanity. She not only wanted to live herself, but also wanted all of humanity to live.
She was concerned about the entire race, so she naturally didn't have Zhang Lin's peaceful mindset.
Therefore, when she heard Zhang Lin say that there was good news, her first thought was about the gods, not her own physical body, even though restoring her physical body was also her wish.
"As for the gods..." Zhang Lin shook his head, "We'll see how things go, but before the gods make their move, do you want to regain your physical body?"
"Restore your physical body?" The city lord's voice rose sharply and urgently. "You can do it? Of course I want to!"
Seeing how eager she was, Zhang Lin felt relieved.
So he took out the "Glory of Carbon-Based Life," a jet-black metal pendant, and tossed it to the city lord.
She hurriedly took the pendant, her hands trembling with excitement. "This thing can restore my physical body? How do I use it?"
"Wear it around your neck, and you'll recover when you're not fighting," Zhang Lin said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the city lord immediately put the pendant around her neck without a second's hesitation; she was too eager to regain her physical body.
In her countless reincarnations, the time she can retain her physical body is limited.
Only when she is first reborn can she maintain her physical body for a few days, and then she must immediately prepare for the post-apocalyptic world. Depending on the abilities she uses, her body will exhibit different degrees of mechanization.
For example, this time, she was able to maintain 70% mechanization in the early stages of the apocalypse, which was actually quite difficult. It was all thanks to her experience from multiple reincarnations and the memories of her reborn foresight that she was able to retain a part of her physical body.
However, this ability could only be maintained in the early stages of the apocalypse. If Zhang Lin hadn't appeared, she would most likely have used some of her abilities during the zombie siege, further accelerating the mechanization of her body. By the new era, she would definitely be 100% mechanized.
Restoring his physical body was the city lord's greatest wish, besides his grand ambition to save humanity.
And now, she has finally been able to achieve it.
As the pendant took effect, the city lord's silver-white metallic body visibly transformed into normal flesh and skin.
She raised her hands, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"It really recovered? Was it that simple?"
The city lord was somewhat incredulous. She tried putting a finger in her mouth and biting down. "Ah!" she cried out in pain, then burst into laughter. "I can feel pain! I've really regained my original body! Hahaha..."
She was overjoyed and even jumped up and down with excitement.
Zhang Lin, meanwhile, was scrutinizing the human appearance of the city lord.
He had only seen the city lord in her mechanized form and had many guesses about her true appearance, but he was still somewhat surprised when he actually saw her.
She looked like a young girl, with a high ponytail, a slender and tall figure, and a beautiful face. In particular, her eyes were large, bright, and piercing, making her look very clever.
Zhang Lin remembered that when he looked at her information in the system before, she was only nineteen years old, so this appearance was normal.
"I've really recovered, Zhang Lin, I've really recovered!" The city lord was so excited that she finally remembered Zhang Lin, her benefactor. She threw herself into Zhang Lin's arms and jumped up and down with him. "Thank you! I'll treat you to dinner. We'll have hot pot tonight, and I want to eat ten plates of tripe!"
"You said you were inviting me to dinner, but you just wanted to eat, didn't you?" Zhang Lin pouted. The girl in his arms had a captivating fragrance, and he could feel her warmth and softness when he held her.
"I want to drink more. I haven't felt drunk in so long." The city lord's fair and beautiful face was adorned with a bright smile. "Thank you."
"Eating is fine, drinking is fine too, but have you forgotten something?" Zhang Lin took the initiative to let go of her, mainly because if he hugged her any longer, it would be too hard and inappropriate.
Upon hearing this, the city lord immediately calmed down. Yes, she still owed Zhang Lin a favor…
She silently stepped away from Zhang Lin's embrace, her face flushed. She had been too excited just now and had actually thrown herself into this scumbag's arms, letting him take advantage of her for nothing. Now that she had calmed down, she took a few steps back and asked, "I remember you said you wanted me to help you tie up a woman, right?"
"Yes." Zhang Lin felt a little expectant, wondering what her expression would be when she heard that she was the one being tied up.
"Tell me, who is it?" The city lord's expression was calm, but the corner of her mouth betrayed her feelings. "I don't do this kind of thing, but you've done me a great favor this time, so I'll make an exception. Just tell me who it is, and I'll send her to your bed today. Is it Xiao Pan? I'll go now?"
She was thinking that she hoped to find a top-tier beauty in the city who was also single, namely her good friend Pan Jiaxuan.
She had considered Jin Sina before, but Jin Sina had already been won over by Zhang Lin, so only Pan Jiaxuan remained.
Although Pan Jiaxuan was her former good friend and they had a very good relationship, but...
'Little Pan, Little Pan, please don't blame me, it's just that Zhang Lin gave too much...' the city lord sighed inwardly.
Then, she heard an answer that surprised her.
“It’s not Pan Jiaxuan.” Zhang Lin shook his head.
"?" The city lord frowned slightly. "Who is that? Are there other women you can't handle?"
To be honest, with Zhang Lin's current strength, in such a large Hope City, he could definitely sleep with whomever he wanted.
Perhaps only he himself could make Zhang Lin think twice.
Pan Jiaxuan was, after all, his friend, so it was understandable that Zhang Lin would make him compromise by offering to restore his physical body.
Aside from Pan Jiaxuan, the city lord really couldn't think of any other suitable candidate.
"What kind of talk is that?" Zhang Lin said speechlessly, "Although my backyard is quite large, have I ever forced anyone?"
"That's true." The city lord nodded. Zhang Lin had never forced anyone, which made her quite gratified.
"Who exactly is it?"
She still didn't understand.
“That person is both far away and right before my eyes.” Zhang Lin pointed at her and said, “It’s you!”
"I?"
Upon hearing the answer, the city lord was dumbfounded.
