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

Qin Wushuang's sudden outburst immediately drew everyone's attention.

They were drinking and chatting with Qi Zhaolin when Qin Wushuang suddenly stood up, leaving them completely bewildered.

"The city's sovereignty???"

"You're saying you not only have the city lord's token, but also the city lord's authority???"

After a moment of silence, the room erupted in chaos.

Everyone, except Qi Zhaolin, had a drastic change in expression and stood up abruptly.

"Director Lu?! You have the City Lord's Decree, and the City Lord's authority???"

"Is this for real?!"

Seeing them so shocked that they were breathing rapidly and their eyes were red, Lu Yun was somewhat bewildered.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"What else is wrong???"

Qin Wushuang's eyes widened, and her face turned red with anxiety.

Yang Ming, who was the most qualified to speak, gave a wry smile.

"Director Lu, I believe you already know just how powerful the city's authority is, but let's take me for example."

"Aside from receiving a salary from the state, I have virtually no rights. It's not that the state doesn't grant me rights, but rather that it simply cannot grant them to me."

"Rather than calling us city lords, we're more like stewards, the administrators of this city."

"This applies not only to those of us who were appointed, but also to those who used the city lord's decree to become city lords themselves."

"Only a city lord who possesses the authority to control the city can fully develop its functions, manage its affairs, and take control of it."

He looked somewhat bitter, perhaps because there were too many people present, so he didn't say much.

But Lu Yun could also tell that the city's authority didn't seem to have only one function: controlling the city.

Sure enough, his private chat lit up the next second.

[Lu Yun, my personal guess is that the activation condition for that formation armor skill might be related to your city's sovereignty. Most likely, the activation condition will be triggered once your city is completed.]

Lu Yun's eyelids twitched, and he immediately realized that the city lord's power was somewhat abnormal.

He nodded, gave Yang Ming an understanding look, and then spoke.

"Thank you for your explanation, Lord Yang. But since we've come this far, I'll briefly explain the plan."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lu Yun smiled and said.

"I do intend to build a city in the Northern Region, but the exact location has not yet been determined. Since it is in the Northern Region, I will need your help. Of course, I will also offer you compensation."

Upon hearing this, before Lu Yun could react, the people from the six major families, the three major guilds, and other forces all spoke up with rapid breathing.

"Don't worry, Director Lu! We will definitely help you with your city!"

"That's right! We'll prepare both manpower and resources for you in advance!"

"You don't need to ask; our Si family would have helped with this small matter!"

"It would be our honor to help Director Lu build this city! Just you wait and see!"

"The city built by Director Lu will undoubtedly become a landmark of the Dragon Kingdom. We're just benefiting from his success!"

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, each one even more excited than Lu Yun.

Lu Yun was naturally happy to see this.

He has just figured this out.

He was determined to build a city in the Northern Region and make contact with the six major families and various forces. They wanted to curry favor with him, so he would give them a chance to prove themselves and establish a deep bond. Even if he was no longer in the city, these people would help keep it running.

After all, he had quite a few enemies.

Besides, even if he doesn't ask these people to help, will they really not help? They will definitely come after the city is built anyway, so it's better to ask in advance and give them a chance.

Everyone enjoyed the meal.

They struck up a conversation with Lu Yun, and Lu Yun also found cattle and horses; it was a win-win situation.

After the meal.

After everyone bid him farewell, Lu Yun finally brought Qin Wushuang, Ye Wuhen, Wen Mengning, and Wen Xiaoyou with him.

Well... they say they know a lot of places.

Lu Yun felt quite helpless about this.

Standing on the starlight, Qin Wushuang and the other three were shocked. Although they knew that Lu Yun had a bone dragon mount, this was the first time they had ridden on it.

To be honest, the four of them were so envious they cried.

Starlight is not only handsome, but also flies fast, deals high damage, and has good attributes. It is simply the dream dragon in every man's heart.

Even the expressionless Ye Wuhen repeatedly remarked that Lu Yun's luck was simply too incredible.

After lamenting for a while, Qin Wushuang, seeing that they had arrived at the expected location, quickly suppressed her envious gaze and spoke.

"According to what you said, this place is indeed the most suitable in the entire Northern Region, with mountains, water, forests, and a large area."

"What do you think, is it okay?"

Lu Yun stood on the dragon's head and looked it over, growing to like it more and more with each glance.

Beneath his feet lay a vast plain, roughly 3 square kilometers, more than enough to build a level 2 city.

Moreover, there is a huge lake of about 8000 square kilometers on this plain, enough for the merfolk to live in, and there is a semi-circular natural barrier formed by mountains on the rear side, which is a natural defensive barrier.

Lu Yun was very satisfied with this.

"Okay, this will do."

Seeing that Lu Yun had chosen a location, Qi Zhaolin quickly stepped forward to explain.

"Alright, now that you've chosen the location, I need to tell you in advance that you can sense the construction process in real time, but when the city's construction progress reaches 90%, there will be a total of three waves of monsters attacking the city."

"If we can hold out, the progress bar will grow until the city is fully built."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun immediately smiled.

"A monster siege? Such a good thing?"

"Good news?"

Qi Zhaolin said irritably.

"The monster siege will start with the city lord's level as the base, jumping 100 levels at a time. Calculate for yourself what level the third wave of monsters will be."

"Moreover, since you have control over the city, the monster's level and rarity might even increase."

"In addition, when you build a city, professionals can join the monster camp to attack the city together. As long as the city is breached, your city lord tokens, resources, and the gold coins consumed will become their rewards."

"Of course, that's not the main issue. Foreign powers like the Kingdom of Ta, the Kingdom of Flower, and the Kingdom of Vegetable have long wanted to get rid of you. Once the city starts being built, there will be a nationwide announcement. At that time, they will inevitably join the monster camp to attack the city. Then, you will not only be facing millions of monsters, but also those professionals."

Lu Yun nodded, not worried at all, but even happier.

"Is that a good thing? They'd better come more often then, I'm just worried I won't have time to settle accounts with them."

Seeing Lu Yun's confidence, Qi Zhaolin wanted to offer some advice but didn't know how.

After all, Lu Yun had never experienced it, so he couldn't possibly understand how terrifying a monster siege could be.

"Alright, as long as you know what's going on, that's fine. But if I want to help you, I'll have to join your camp. I can't leave a camp, so I can't help you this time. I can only protect you from the shadows."

"Need not."

Lu Yun waved his hand, not caring at all.

"You can just find a place to drink tea and watch a play."

Upon seeing this, Qin Wushuang and the others quickly spoke up.

"Don't worry, Lu Yun, we'll all help."

"That's right! I'll have my family send people over; they'll definitely help you defend the city!"

"Yes! We'll all help!"

Qi Zhaolin thought about it and agreed. Although Lu Yun had always been a loner, he did have a few friends.

"Alright, monster sieges are dangerous, but they also come with opportunities. The experience and loot from monsters are quite good. If you can seize the opportunity, it will greatly help your own improvement."

Seeing that Qi Zhaolin was no longer speaking, Lu Yun took out the City Lord's Token and then clicked to use it.

【Ding! 】

[Successfully used the City Lord's Token!]

[Do you want to build your city on the current land?]

Upon seeing this, Lu Yun smiled and clicked "confirm" without hesitation.
