Chapter 89: City Lord Mansion

After reading all this information, Xu Qianghua nodded, as most of the information had not changed from the last time he checked on the first game day.

The most important changes are the health and spiritual qi sections, along with his Early Golden Core rank.

The health and spiritual qi sections are similar to the HP and MP bars in other RPG-type games; they increase as the cultivator's realm increases.

Body-Building Realm cultivators' health points start from 100 to 800, and Foundation Realm cultivators' health starts from 1000 to 8000...

This is similar to the spiritual qi; each major realm upgrade increases these factors by ten times.

Although this may seem weak, these are the base specifications without any additions of combat manuals or other cultivation manuals with additional increases.

However, in Xu Qianghua's case, due to dual cultivating with the Shadow Captains, his limits on health and spiritual qi are much higher than those of a normal Golden Core Cultivator.

He then moved towards the meeting hall without any obstruction, as this was still the first month that the place had been empty without any NPC characters being able to come and become the obstruction before 'fighting the boss.'

Once he arrived at the meeting hall entrance, he did not delay and opened the door.

There were few things inside except empty bookshelves, a worn-out point on the wall, and a small broken chandelier.

In the center of the room, there was a window with the best view of the city center, and along that line, there was a worn-out wooden table and chair that seemed to have not been used for decades.

This is the city lord's study and office, and it is also where you can complete the missions to become the city lord by the World's Will.

*Ding*

And before he could comment on the room, he heard the notice sound in his head.

*Congratulations, you have reached the room where you can accept quests, allowing you to become the City Lord of Jingzhong.*

If there are weak City Lords who others can easily manipulate, the citizens will lose trust in them.

Along with that, there will be much more crime in these cities as the City Lord himself is weak, so how could there be stronger citizens in this city?

Thus, all cities have these trials, although they are a bit more difficult for others to complete. However, it is not hard for him as the clone or the Sentinel is not a problem for him.

The Sentinel

Role: Host of the Trial of Strength

Description: The Sentinel is a copy of the most formidable warrior's spiritual copy tasked with being the challenge for the City Lord Challenger.

Realm: Late Foundation Realm.

This is the same for all the other cities, but the cultivation realms differ depending on the city's area.

This is because the North and South are much more barren places without many heavenly plants growing, which has led to the low realms of the NPCs.

Due to this, the World's Will decided to leave the positions open instead of filling these important places with NPCs.

But doing this way, it can instead make it so that anyone strong enough can become the City Lord and control that city.

Xu Qianghua remembers how some of the City Lords were Adventurer-Style players.

However, this was not a good thing as these styles of players are usually lone cultivators or part of a loose organization.

This has led to many of the cities under them being seized by either Family-style players in that city or a powerful NPC coming over and taking over after the City Lord made a mistake, which, without any background, led to him being stripped of his role.

But this did not happen when it was someone from the family style as many more people could work for the player.

In most cases, the City Lord is never the player but one of the family members assigned to be the City Lord.
