As an old player of "New World."

Perhaps Lin Chen didn't know much about the information of these invaders like Jin Qiang, Mo Yi, and Winter in front of him.

But he was very familiar with the game's map.

Thinking about the locations of Tianyue City and Bingxue City (Ice Snow City), it was really possible to connect them into one.

But... it was difficult!

Unless Lin Chen could become so powerful that he could make both the Dragon Spirit Kingdom and the Hanbing Kingdom give up all the territory between the two cities.

How could that be possible?

Lin Chen temporarily buried this idea in his heart.

At this time, they were almost at Tianyue City.

Coming from the north, they had also passed by Bai Shuyi's hometown, Demon Sea City!

Now, this once most prosperous city in the Dragon Kingdom had been completely reduced to ruins.

Everywhere were broken walls and ruins.

The towering buildings of the past had almost all been torn down.

Passing by on the official road and seeing this city, one could still find many monsters and beasts entrenched within... these places had clearly become their habitats.

In addition, one could also see various green plants growing rapidly among the ruins.

Seeing Lin Chen's gaze focused on the changes in Demon Sea City, Winter said with a smile, "Actually, I think you Blue Star people are quite intelligent. Large cities like this can gather a large population. Also, some of Blue Star's technology is very interesting... but now all the rules have changed. By the way, can't you use your mobile phones anymore? Alas! That's what I regret the most."

"Mr. Winter, you know a lot about Blue Star!" Lin Chen's words were actually another probe.

Winter laughed, "We know, we actually know everything! However, destroying Blue Star's weapon systems and technology is not something we can decide; we can only obey orders. Although I personally regret mobile phone technology very much, there is nothing I can do."

"I didn't expect that among the invaders, there would be someone who would feel sorry for our Blue Star."

Lin Chen's words were undoubtedly tinged with sarcasm.

"I am a pure businessman, just looking at it from the perspective of making money."

Winter wasn't angry at all; instead, he spread his hands in regret and said, "If, and I mean if, our invasion methods were gentle and we sought to coexist with you Blue Star people, then I believe I could definitely take over your mobile phone business and bring it to the temple... Now, you should know how much I lost!"

Lin Chen didn't say anything sarcastic in response to these words.

Because he knew Winter was telling the truth.

This businessman had vision, courage, and strength.

The vision was that he could keenly perceive business opportunities.

The courage was that he directly gave Lin Chen and Ling Xiaoya millions of gold coins just because he wanted them to say a few good words for him to the Blue Star people in Tianyue City.

The strength was his financial resources!

How could someone who could casually give away millions of gold coins have weak financial resources?

"But it's a pity, those technologies on Blue Star are destined to never return." Winter still looked very regretful.

However, Lin Chen was thinking: Are they really gone forever?

Not necessarily!

What if the Blue Star people turned the tables in the future?

At that time, could the beautiful homeland and those prosperous cities be restored?

Unconsciously, the group had arrived at a monster area not far from Tianyue City.

This area was full of level 40 to level 60 monsters. Many people in Tianyue City were already leveling up here together. They were all Blue Star people from Tianyue City, but today, a group of uninvited guests had arrived.

Some men in gorgeous clothes came to this area.

However, they did not attack the Blue Star people here.

But their behavior was also very infuriating.

When a Blue Star team beat a monster to low health, leaving only a sliver of health, someone from this group would step in and kill the monster!

Wasn't this blatant monster stealing?

Soon, someone returned to the city to report this matter.

Later, Zhang Chunlin personally led the Tianyue Knights to investigate, only to find that he knew this person.

De La, the fourth young master of Debao in Zhenhai Province.

Debao.

The name of the city-state established by the De family, one of the eight major families in Zhenhai Province.

The De family was a noble family of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom, and a powerful force in Zhenhai Province.

Just this morning, De La, the fourth young master of Debao, came to find Lin Chen, but Lin Chen was not there, so Zhang Chunlin received him and asked about De La's intentions.

De La was also straightforward, directly stating that the De family required Tianyue City to hand over at least one spirit ore mountain range for the De family to mine, and then the mined ore would be divided equally between the two families.

This was ridiculous.

Why should Tianyue City share half of the minerals with Debao when it could take 100% of the production?

Don't forget, Zhang Chunlin was a businessman.

And a businessman in the game.

Zhang Chunlin immediately realized that the De family was trying to extort them.

Once Tianyue City agreed to the De family and set this precedent, there were seven other noble families like the De family in Zhenhai Province!

What if these seven families came over then?

Was he supposed to hand over eight mountain ranges?

Moreover, this was a spirit ore mountain range!

Zhang Chunlin knew that this was the mountain range that the entire Tianyue City depended on for survival.

Therefore, Zhang Chunlin sternly rejected De La.

But he didn't expect De La to play dirty!

This guy was already level 100, but he still came to steal level 40 monsters.

Who could beat him!

At this time, facing Zhang Chunlin's inquiry, De La replied with a smile, "What, are we not allowed to kill the monsters here? If they can't beat us, that's their own fault! You all spread out and go to the eastern area to steal monsters too. If the Blue Star people dare to attack, then kill them all. We are acting in self-defense!"

"You!"

Zhang Chunlin was furious.

However, at this time, a caravan happened to pass by.

It was already night.

Lin Chen didn't notice what was happening in the monster area. The caravan entered Tianyue City directly. After Lin Chen got out of the carriage, he no longer concealed his identity and said to Winter, "Mr. Winter, the City Lord's Mansion is ahead, please!"

"Ah... do I need to notify the City Lord?"

"I am the City Lord."

After Lin Chen said this, he turned and entered the City Lord's Mansion.

As soon as he entered, he ran into Xiao Mei.

A rabbit-eared girl.

"City Lord, you're finally back!"

Xiao Mei immediately stuck to Lin Chen upon seeing him and said, "Xiao Mei missed you so much, City Lord!"

This rabbit-eared girl was at it again.

Lin Chen usually tried to stay far away from her.

There was no way...

Because this rabbit-eared girl always liked to wear Pinru's clothes. (reference to a meme where a woman is dressed seductively)

Too... much!

Lin Chen extricated himself from her without leaving a trace and then said, "We have guests. Go back to your post!"

"Ah, we have guests?" Only then did Xiao Mei notice that there was a group of people standing outside the door.

Among them, a human loli was glaring at her with anger.

Seeing the little girl's eyes, Xiao Mei pursed her lips and smiled, then puffed out her chest and smiled even more confidently.

On the other hand, Ling Xiaoya's eyes dimmed for a moment...

"You... you are really the City Lord of Tianyue City?"

Winter looked incredulous and said with a smile, "Haha, Winter's luck is really too good!"

"Not necessarily, Mr. Winter, I haven't agreed to your request yet."

Lin Chen said half-jokingly, then said to Xiao Mei, "Go help me call the Deputy City Lord."

"Ah, Deputy City Lord? City Lord, something just happened outside the city. Someone is causing trouble and not letting our residents level up properly. The Deputy City Lord has already taken people to deal with it," Xiao Mei replied quickly.

"Someone is causing trouble?"

Lin Chen frowned and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's the Fourth Young Master of Debao."

"De La?"

It was Winter who interjected at this time.

Lin Chen looked at him and asked, "Mr. Winter, do you know this person?"

"I know him."

Winter smiled and said, "He is the fourth son of Marquis Demiller, a graduate of the Third Magic Academy of the Imperial City. This Fourth Young Master used to cause a lot of trouble in the Imperial City... City Lord, how did you provoke him?"

"Demiller, Debao... the De family?"

Only then did Lin Chen remember that Jin Qiang had once brought people from the De family to Tianyue City.

At that time, Jin Qiang brought them here to formally announce and acknowledge the status of Tianyue City, but how long has it been before someone came to cause trouble?

It seemed that not everyone listened to the words of the Provincial Governor, Jin Qiang!

"Mr. Winter, please take a seat in the City Lord's Mansion for a while. I'll be right back."

Lin Chen's face turned cold.

Although he didn't know why the other party came to cause trouble, since they came, then...

He definitely couldn't tolerate it!

Lin Chen planned to personally deal with this matter.

After he said this, he immediately flapped his wings, intending to leave the city.

Ling Xiaoya wanted to follow, but Lin Chen asked her to wait for him in the City Lord's Mansion.

Xiao Mei found an opportunity to stick close and hugged Lin Chen, saying, "City Lord, take me with you! I'll show you the way!"

"Alright!"

Lin Chen was speechless.

After returning, he hadn't seen Liu Mengyao yet.

However, when Lin Chen returned to Tianyue City, he found that his mobile phone still had a signal in the city.

As soon as the signal came, Lin Chen saw the message Liu Mengyao sent him.

It turned out that she and Bai Shuyi were challenging the Trial Tower.

Then, he'd just have to hold this rabbit-eared girl!

Lin Chen was not one to suffer losses. The rabbit-eared girl's figure was so explosive, and he didn't avoid touching the places he should, until he arrived at the leveling area. Then, Lin Chen put her down and said, "Stop panting, lead the way."

"City Lord, be careful. There are 150-level experts who have come,"

Xiao Mei said嬌声, "None of us are a match for that expert!"

Level 150?

Lin Chen frowned.

Was the De family planning to use their power to suppress others?
