Chapter 184 The First Signs of Miracles

All the problems stem from the lack of a dominant position.

So how exactly do you get the Hegemony Points?

Lin Mo vaguely remembered that he had obtained dozens of Hegemony Points when he killed bandits in Black Wind Mountain.

But compared to the thousands or tens of thousands of dollars required for construction, it's simply not enough.

Lin Mo collapsed on the floor, feeling that his life was shrouded in darkness.

and many more……

Just when he was in despair, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his mind.

He suddenly remembered the option he had dismissed back in White Wolf Village.

【Task】

[Daily Task]: Repair the West City sewers. Reward: +5 to Popular Support, 1 random resource pack.

[Daily Task]: Renovate the South City Slums. Reward: Public Support +5, Random Resource Pack x1.

[Bandit Suppression Mission]: Eradicate all bandits in Black Wind Mountain. Rewards: Popularity +10, Public Security +20, Hegemony Points 500, Random Troop Pack x1.

……

Although the rewards are meager, they can pull public morale back from negative to positive and also provide random resource packs.

Moreover, bandit suppression missions also reward you with Hegemony Points.

"Alright, so if I, the lord of Blackwind City, want to unify the world and dominate the land, I have to start by clearing the sewers."

"Okay! If it works, it works!"

Lin Mo tried to do a somersault... but failed.

He awkwardly stood up, using the table for support, and switched his attention back to the map interface, where he found the dense cluster of red icons representing "blockage" and "damage" in the western part of the city.

Lin Mo drew a circle on the map with his finger, selecting the red icon.

A pop-up message box appears.

[Consume 200 wood, 500 stone, and 500 Hegemony Points to fully repair the West City sewers?]

"repair."

Lin Mo confirmed without hesitation.

[Timber - 200]

【Stone Material - 500】

[Domination Points - 500]

The already meager Hegemony Points and resources on the panel have dwindled even further.

Lin Mo's heart was bleeding.

At the same time, his gaze was fixed on the western part of the city on the map.

Like a supervisor, watching to see if their investment has gone down the drain.

……

Blackwind City, West City.

This is the most chaotic area in the city, with sewage flowing through the streets, a stench permeating the air, and flies and mosquitoes buzzing around.

A woman had just poured a basin of dirty water onto the street and hadn't even had time to close the door when she felt the ground beneath her feet suddenly shake.

"Huh? What's going on?"

The woman was startled, but before she could regain her footing, an even more violent tremor came from underground.

"Boom!"

The sound was incredibly muffled, and the entire cobblestone street seemed to vibrate with a buzzing sound.

"Oh my god! There's an earthquake!"

"Run! The building is collapsing!"

The streets instantly descended into chaos, filled with screams and shouts.

People rushed out of the house in a panic, covering their heads and running away as if they were about to be buried alive.

Strangely, despite the violent tremors, the houses on both sides of the street only shook slightly, and not a single tile fell off.

Then, everyone witnessed a scene they would never forget in their lives.

On the street, the foul-smelling sewage that had pooled together was suddenly pulled by an invisible giant hand and dragged into the drain on the ground.

The clogged drains were reopened, frantically swallowing up all the filth.

Cracks on the ground that had appeared due to years of neglect were repairing themselves at a visible speed.

"Boom! Boom!"

Several sections of the collapsed road surface suddenly arched upwards.

Countless pebbles and dirt flew into the air, rapidly reassembling and piecing themselves together in mid-air, before crashing down with a loud "bang," transforming back into a smooth and clean stone path.

The entire western part of the city seemed to have been completely cleaned up and rebuilt in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The road surface became clean and smooth, and the stench in the air disappeared without a trace.

Everyone stood there dumbfounded, staring at this illogical scene, their minds blank.

"What's going on?"

"God, a deity has appeared?"

Everyone was talking about it.

"No! I've seen this before!"

At that moment, a man in the crowd suddenly interrupted everyone excitedly.

He was short and had a pockmarked face; he was Wang Ermazi, whom Lin Mo had seen repairing the south wall outside White Wolf Village a few days ago.

This scene reappeared before him, and his eyes were now filled with fervor.

This familiar recipe, this familiar taste!

"Old Wang, you...you say you've seen it?"

"What was that just now?"

A peddler next to him, pale-faced, patted his chest with lingering fear.

"It's a miracle!"

Wang Ermazi suddenly let out a loud roar.

"A miracle? What miracle? Are you scared out of your wits?"

"It's Master Lin! It's a miracle from Master Lin!"

Wang Ermazi waved his arms excitedly, spitting as he spoke.

The surrounding crowd erupted in uproar.

"Master Lin? Which Master Lin?"

"That's Lin Mo, the lord of Dingbei Prefecture who recently led the destruction of White Wolf Stronghold!"

"he?"

A burly man who looked like a butcher looked incredulous.

"I heard he's a ruthless, cold-blooded killer, a living devil. When did he become a god?"

"You don't know anything!"

Wang Ermazi got anxious:

"A true master doesn't reveal their abilities; one who reveals their abilities isn't a true master!"

"I saw it with my own eyes a few days ago. Master Lin just waved his hand casually, and the collapsed wall of White Wolf Stronghold was rebuilt by itself!"

"It's exactly the same as now, with golden light and a loud bang. I saw it clearly, how could it be fake?"

"this……"

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, their initial suspicion gradually turning into astonishment.

The story of Wang Ermazi witnessing divine abilities has been circulating in the neighborhood for the past two days, though most people treat it as a joke.

But this inexplicable scene has shaken everyone's resolve.

Are there really gods in this world who can turn their hands to make clouds or rain?

Seeing the skeptical expressions on the faces of those around him, Wang Ermazi felt that his beliefs had been insulted.

He suddenly knelt down heavily in the direction of Dingbei Prefecture with a thud.

"This lowly Wang Ermazi kowtows in gratitude to Lord Lin for his divine grace!"

"Master Lin is a true god descended to earth! He is the savior of our Black Wind City!"

He shouted and kowtowed, his eyes filled with unparalleled fanaticism.

The people around were stunned by Wang Ermazi's crazy behavior, and they all fell silent.

……

Inside Tianxin Pavilion.

Lin Mo stared blankly at the live broadcast on the [Map of Mountains and Rivers].

He looked at Wang Ermazi, who was kowtowing repeatedly, with a complicated expression.

Watch as he single-handedly transformed a simple sewer repair project into a grand spectacle of a deity descending to earth to save all living beings.

Moreover, he even gave himself the title of "a true god descended to earth".

"This guy is wasting his talent not on pyramid schemes."

Lin Mo couldn't help but complain.

However, at that moment, a new situation occurred in the scene.

Perhaps they were infected by Wang Ermazi's fanatical emotions.

Then, a frail old woman knelt down as well.

"May the gods protect us..."

"May my son, who went hunting in the mountains, return safely..."

"Splash! Splash! Splash!"

Once one takes the lead, there will be a second, and a third.

In an instant, a large number of people knelt down on the streets of Xicheng, a vast sea of people praying devoutly.

Whether he's a real god or not, kowtowing a few times won't cost me anything.
