Zhang Chunlin immediately went to do his work.
At this moment, Bai Shuyi deliberately smiled and said, “Yo, City Lord Lin is indeed different. You even found a secretary. I heard that Jiang Tingting is the school belle of the journalism department, right? She used to be in your school!”
“Brother Lin Chen, if you want to find a secretary, can’t I be the one?” Ling Xiaoya quickly asked.
Lin Chen ignored Bai Shuyi. In fact, he knew very well that Bai Shuyi was actually saying those words for Liu Mengyao’s sake. There was no need for Lin Chen to explain anything to her. Instead, he looked at Liu Mengyao and said, “Next, I have to go out of the city. Apart from resolving the potential monster siege crisis, I also have to improve myself… A new era has arrived. In this ‘New World’, we have to become stronger to deal with everything unknown! Therefore, you have to improve yourselves and become stronger. If I let you manage Sky Moon City at this time, it will only drag you down.”
“I see!” Ling Xiaoya understood.
She was not the only one.
Liu Mengyao also understood. She immediately nodded and said, “That’s right. I’ll be able to cultivate to a Level 5 soul soon. Shuyi, you’re only Level 3, right? You really have to hurry up and improve!”
“I got it.”
Bai Shuyi stuck out her tongue. Her eyes flickered as she looked at Lin Chen and said, “Alright, I misunderstood you just now… However, are you planning to leave alone?”
“I’m a Celestial, so it’s more convenient for me to be alone. As for the three of you, together with Zhang Chunlin, Old Master Liu, Seven, Xiao Mei, and the others, you can form two teams. Currently, the high-level monster resources in Sky Moon City are only enough for two teams level up.”
Lin Chen explained again.
“You’re really as rational as ever!”
When Bai Shuyi heard this, she expressed admiration.
Indeed.
Lin Chen had always been a very rational person.
After his rebirth, no matter what decision he made, Lin Chen’s goal was to survive.
He did not want to die again.
With Lin Chen’s words and the battle with the De Corporation just now, Bai Shuyi and the others had indeed broadened their horizons.
In that situation, Lin Chen was the only one in the entire Sky Moon City who could fight.
The others could only watch from the side.
This was undoubtedly an attack from a much higher level!
However, this was not a bad thing.
At the very least, Bai Shuyi, the Valkyrie, was quite shocked and ashamed.
Originally, she and Lin Chen should be existences with similar strength.
But now?
There was a huge difference!
In addition, Demille’s strength had shocked her.
At this moment, it could instead stimulate this Valkyrie’s desire to win.
It was the same for the others.
Currently, everyone in Sky Moon City was more and more enthusiastic about leveling up.
Of course, there was also mining.
Everyone knew that without gold coins and soul crystals, they would not be able to afford equipment!
Working hard at mining was equal to working hard to earn money!
Therefore, everyone was very enthusiastic.
Zhang Chunlin did not manage to find Jiang Tingting or his girlfriend, Jiang Youyou. He walked around the wilderness and realized that the sisters had formed a team with a few female students to kill monsters at the leveling point.
Hollo, seniors!”
Zhang Chunlin called out and walked over.
“Yo, Brother-in-law is here.”
“Nonsense, call him Vice City Lord!”
“We’re not outsiders… Besides, if he treats Youyou badly in the future, won’t we lose the right to help Youyou? Chunlin, don’t you think so? We’re Youyou’s maternal family now!”
A few female seniors who were in the same class as Jiang Tingting kept teasing Zhang Chunlin and Jiang Youyou.
As for her maternal family, it was naturally because when the game invaded and the Cataclysm began, almost all the parents of these students had died. Then, some good friends or classmates could only comfort and support each other.
They even formed a familial relationship and entrusted themselves to each other.
Jiang Tingting, Jiang Youyou, Su Yijun, Liu Yao, and Wang Zhihan were like this.
Of course, this was definitely due to Zhang Chunlin’s influence.
After all, Zhang Chunlin was pursuing Jiang Youyou, and Zhang Chunlin was now the vice city lord. It was obvious that Jiang Tingting and Jiang Youyou could obtain a good status in Sky Moon City because of this. The other three naturally kept a closer relationship with them.
Now, it had already reached the point where they could joke and tease each other.
Jiang Youyou was also used to it. She didn’t even blush. She asked Zhang Chunlin, “Are you done with the City Lord’s matters?”
“Yes, I’m done. Kick Sister Tingting out and form a team with me. I’ll bring you to the Trial Tower later.” Zhang Chunlin wanted to join the team as soon as he arrived.
After all, other than the job Lin Chen had given him, Zhang Chunlin’s favorite thing to do was to bring his girlfriend to level up.
In the past, when he played games, Zhang Chunlin had never looked for a girlfriend because he was very clear-headed. A game was just a game. He played New World to earn money and did not pursue the thrill of the game.
But now, the game had already integrated into life.
Zhang Chunlin’s behavior was naturally two extremes.
It was also very pure.
If he liked her, so be it. If he chased after her and got her, he would only have eyes for her.
Actually, it was precisely because Zhang Chunlin was such a person that Su Yijun, and even including Jiang Tingting, and the other girls often praised Zhang Chunlin in front of Jiang Youyou. They even expressed their envy for Jiang Youyou…
As for Jiang Youyou, after sensing Zhang Chunlin’s feelings for her, she agreed very freely.
“Why kick me out?”
Jiang Tingting was puzzled, but she immediately said, “Alright, you guys can go farm. I’ll join a team later.”
“No need!
Zhang Chunlin smiled and said, “Who knows, you might be able to directly reach a much higher level… Boss thinks that I’m too tired, so he asked me to recommend some people to help manage things. I recommended you. Boss is waiting for you in the City Lord Manor!”
“Wow, really?”
“Chun Lin, your boss is… It’s Lin… Ah, no! It should be the City Lord, right?”
“Is it really the City Lord?”
Su Yijun, Liu Yao, and Wang Zhihan were all shocked.
“I only have one boss. I’ve been following him for my entire life. If not him, who else could it be?” Zhang Chunlin smiled proudly.
His boss was Lin Chen.
Sky Moon City’s City Lord!
In fact, Lin Chen could even fight a peak Rank 2 God Apostle alone!
This alone was enough for him to be proud.
Hearing Zhang Chunlin’s response, Su Yijun and the other two revealed extremely envious expressions. They also looked at Jiang Tingting, who was still in a daze. It was not until a few seconds later that Jiang Tingting came back to her senses and asked, “Is… is it really the City Lord? It’s… Junior Lin Chen, he’s waiting for me?”
Her face was filled with disbelief.
“It’s him, go!” Zhang Chunlin smiled and urged, “Don’t tell me you want my boss to wait for a long time?”
“Ah!”
Jiang Tingting screamed and immediately ran towards Sky Moon City.
As for the original team, she had forgotten about her biological sister, future brother-in-law, and good sisters… This was Lin Chen! Ever since everyone arrived in Sky Moon City, who didn’t know him?
If not for the fact that the City Lord was too unreachable, most of the girls in Sky Moon City would have taken the initiative to approach him.
Even if it was not so exaggerated, many girls had fantasized about Lin Chen…
Jiang Tingting arrived at the City Lord Manor.
Originally, she could only enter this place when Zhang Chunlin brought her here.
However, this time, the guards at the entrance of the City Lord Manor did not stop her and let her in.
When she arrived at the hall, Jiang Tingting was still very nervous.
Then, a voice sounded, “Senior, you’re here. Sit anywhere… Did Chunlin tell you? He recommended you to be the City Lord’s secretary. I’ll give you some authority so that you can use the City Lord’s Manor interface to operate and arrange some development plans in the future. Of course, you might be in charge of more work in the future. I will also pay you handsomely. If you think it’s okay, you can directly start from right now.”
Jiang Tingting felt like she was in a dream.
In her eyes, the unattainable Lin Chen was standing in front of her.
Even though Lin Chen’s back was facing her.
At this moment, Lin Chen was fiddling with a small potted plant. This thing was called the Ten Thousand Year Green. Winter had given it to Lin Chen and said that it had the effect of refreshing the mind. Moreover, the branches and leaves grew extremely quickly and could be cut at any time.
When cutting the Ten Thousand Year Green, he could even obtain some experience points needed to level up.
Even though this EXP was not much, it could make one feel relaxed and happy.
In an era of gods with no cell phone signals and no Internet, this is a good way to pass the time.
“I… I can do it.”
Although Jiang Tingting was excited, she did not have stage fright.
As expected of someone from the journalism major, her mentality was at least strong and mature.
“That’s good. I’ll record the information for you now. Watch me operate it. In the future, just follow my method.” Lin Chen recorded Jiang Tingting into the City Lord Manor and gave her some authority.
When he saw that Jiang Tingting quickly learned how to operate the City Lord Manor, Lin Chen was very satisfied.
He took out another hundred Soul Crystals and handed them over.
“This is your monthly salary in the future. You don’t have to mine anymore,” Lin Chen said. “However, you have to help me keep an eye on the City Lord Manor at all times. If you encounter any problems, you have to help Chunlin think of a solution together.”
“Okay!”
Jiang Tingting nodded.
“Senior, is there anything else?” Lin Chen asked.
He was chasing her away.
“Ah, that… Originally, we were going to the Trial Tower, but the City Lord summoned me. I rushed over immediately. I… I’m fine. Now, I’ll just join another team.”
Jiang Tingting’s response was also very skillful.
What she meant with her implication was that she wanted Lin Chen to bring her to the Trial Tower.
“You’re only Level 69. It’s probably difficult to clear Level 60, right? I remember that I could obtain a lot of experience for the first time when I cleared the Trial Tower. It should be enough for you to reach Level 80… Alright, anyway, it’s only ten minutes. I’ll take you to the Trial Tower. Then, I’ll leave the matters here to you.”
Lin Chen said with a relaxed expression.
To Jiang Tingting, even if she spent an entire day, she might not be able to grind to the 65th level of the Trial Tower. In the end, Lin Chen said that he only needed ten minutes to clear it?
This was too strong!
