I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

"Playing?"

Qi Zhaolin, looking completely bewildered, leaned close to Lu Yun's face and stared intently.

"Are you trying to tease this old man? Huh???"

"Are you right?"

"Look at yourself, is this right???"

Lu Yun twitched his lips, feeling rather speechless.

"How would anyone know what your plan is? I just happened to get it, I'm really helpless about it."

"Do you even listen to what a human being says???"

Qi Zhaolin's eyelids twitched, and his face turned green.

"Sometimes I really want to crack open your skull and see what's inside."

With such incredible luck, he was speechless.

Sometimes I even suspect you're Lady Luck's illegitimate child.

Qi Zhaolin made a sarcastic remark and couldn't help but sigh.

But this is good too, as it saves us the trouble of obtaining the divine authority and the city lord's decree, and Minister Lin doesn't have to swallow his pride and apply for them.

Moreover, he suddenly realized that it might really be fate that Minister Lin had assigned Lu Yun to carry out this plan; Lu Yun had given them far too many surprises.

"Alright, since that's the case, the most urgent thing is to build the city. Let's go, let's head to the Northern Region first."

"I want to go back and rest."

"Stop talking nonsense! Let's get going! You slept all day, ate and drank all day, and only worked for less than half a day. What rest have you been doing?!"

"..."

Lu Yun was speechless. Seeing Qi Zhaolin's envious eyes reddening, he could only summon the starlight and take Qi Zhaolin to Longshan Town.

After meeting Xue Liang and explaining some things to him, the two of them took a teleportation portal and quickly arrived in the mountain city.

This was a place Lu Yun was familiar with, and it was also the place he most wanted to investigate. Moreover, he had asked Qi Zhaolin, and the only place that met his expectations was the area near Shancheng.

"You want a large area with mountains, water, and forests. In the entire Northern Region, only the area under the jurisdiction of the Mountain City meets this requirement. Let's go take a look first, and if it doesn't work, we'll look for another one."

As soon as the two left the teleportation tower, Qi Zhaolin explained to him that since Lu Yun didn't want something ready-made but only something newly built, this was the only option.

However, as soon as the two stepped out of the teleportation portal, Yang Ming, the city lord of Shancheng, Chang Bin, the city lord of Mingguang City, and Yan Guofei, the city lord of Tai'an City, surrounded them with a group of smiling people.

"Director Qi! Director Lu! Welcome, leaders, to our mountain city for your inspection!"

Yang Ming and his two companions showered Lu Yun with flattery, leaving him stunned. Only then did he realize that several familiar faces were there, and there were even people holding banners.

To be honest, I'm a bit speechless.

However, Lu Yun understood. He was now returning home in glory, and everyone in the entire Dragon Kingdom knew him.

Furthermore, given that the Northern Region has been consistently oppressed and ranked at the bottom year after year, it's understandable that they would want to align themselves with us.

"Director Lu! Welcome home! We've prepared a welcome dinner for you, and we hope you'll join us!"

"Yes, Director Lu! You rarely come back, so we must treat you to a proper meal!"

The old men had smiles plastered on their faces, which made Lu Yun feel uneasy. These were the patriarchs of the six major families in the Northern Region, each of whom was a force to be reckoned with in the region.

At this moment, in order to curry favor with him, they had already disregarded the dignity of the family head.

However, Lu Yun was there on business and didn't want to waste time eating, but unexpectedly, Qin Wushuang and Ye Wuhen were also there.

Qin Wushuang remained as dashing as ever. Dressed in armor, she smiled helplessly as she raised the corners of her mouth.

"Old friend, I know you're very busy, but please do me this favor, out of respect for our past acquaintance."

Lu Yun had no choice but to sigh and follow them to the hotel.

He suddenly realized that he could no longer think about things using the lone wolf mentality he used to have when he wanted to build a city.

He doesn't consider those old men, but he'll definitely have to interact with people his own age in the future.

Being a local definitely gives you an advantage if they're willing to help.

Besides, the fact that he wanted to build a city couldn't be kept secret. He didn't intend to hide it; it was just a matter of time before it came out.

So it's a good thing to talk to them; there might even be some unexpected surprises.

As a result, this trip had a significant impact: most of the able-bodied people in the mountain city came, and the hotel was completely surrounded.

Even the expressionless Ye Wuhen had no choice but to bite the bullet and bring Wen Xiaoyou and Wen Zhu to maintain order.

After finally squeezing into the hotel elevator, Lu Yun was completely numb.

"My God, there are so many people."

Ye Wuhen and the others were speechless, while Qin Wushuang and the other girls couldn't help but chuckle.

"That's perfectly normal. You're a big celebrity now. People with power and influence want to curry favor with you, and ordinary professionals want to share in your good fortune. It's no wonder they're going crazy."

Qin Wushuang was quite outspoken, and although Yang Ming and the others in the elevator were a little embarrassed by her words, they managed to keep their composure.

Stepping out of the elevator, the world instantly fell silent. Although the guests had been strictly screened, there were still sixty or seventy people. Fortunately, the private room was large enough to accommodate two tables.

Guided by Yang Ming and others, Lu Yun was invited to take the seat of honor, with Wen Mengning on his left and Qin Wushuang on his right.

It can be said that everything was arranged for him in a very clear and thorough manner.

Lu Yun was speechless.

Watching Yang Ming stand up and drink wine with gusto, and seeing Qin Wushuang and Wen Mengning serving him food, Lu Yun felt as if the world had become a place he no longer recognized.

He looked at Qin Wushuang and sighed helplessly.

"I never imagined you'd be corrupted too."

There's nothing we can do about that.

Qin Wushuang, on the other hand, was quite carefree.

"Our family just wanted to get on your good side, so naturally, my father had no choice but to push me out here."

She pursed her lips speechlessly.

"Do you think I want to? I'd be better off grinding more monsters with that effort."

"Ah...we're all in the same boat..."

Qin Wushuang and Wen Mengning couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't try to act innocent after getting a good deal. We're just going through the motions. Don't worry, we won't try to morally blackmail you."

Lu Yunxin and Qin Wushuang are indeed not like that, but they have no choice because of their families.

"Oh, right."

Lu Yun took a bite of food and decided to get straight to the point.

"I've already planned to build a city. Will you come and help me then? There's a reward for it."

Qin Wushuang and the others were taken aback, and their expressions changed immediately.

"You're going to be the city lord?"

Although they had long known that they and Lu Yun were not from the same world, the gap was still too big.

While we are still struggling to level up and acquire equipment every day, Lu Yun has already started building a city and becoming its lord.

"Of course, I came back to find a place."

Qin Wushuang and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, and even Ye Wuhen remained silent.

"Seriously... comparing yourself to others is just awful..."

"I'm tired of saying I'm envious, really."

Everyone felt a little envious, but also a little amused.

Seeing this, Lu Yun smiled and then spoke.

"Don't worry, I won't help you for nothing. I have the authority over the city, so besides issuing tasks and giving rewards, I can also arrange a position for you to play around with."

"puff!!!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Wushuang nearly spat out the tea in her mouth.

Her expression changed, and she jumped to her feet in shock.

"etc???"

"What did you say???"
