As an old player of "New World."

Perhaps Lin Chen wasn't very clear on the information of these invaders like Jin Qiang, Mo Yi, and Winter in front of him.

But he was very familiar with the maps in the game.

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

But... it was very difficult!

Unless Lin Chen could become strong enough to make the Dragon Spirit Kingdom and the Frost Ice Kingdom give up all the territory between the two cities.

How was that possible?

Lin Chen temporarily buried this thought in his heart.

At this time, they were already approaching Tianyue City.

Coming from the north, they also passed by Bai Shuyi's hometown, Mohaidu!

Now, this once most prosperous city in the Dragon Kingdom had completely become ruins.

Everywhere were broken walls.

The skyscrapers that once soared into the clouds were almost completely demolished.

Passing by the official road and seeing this city, one could find many monsters and beasts entrenched in it... these places had become their habitat.

In addition, it could also be seen that various green plants were rapidly growing out of the broken walls.

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

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

Winter smiled and said, "We understand, we actually all understand! However, destroying Blue Star's weapon systems and technology is not something we can decide. We can only obey orders. Although I personally regret the technology of mobile phones, there's 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 undoubtedly carried a bit of sarcasm.

"I am a pure businessman, just starting from the perspective of making money."

Winter didn't get angry at all. Instead, he spread his hands regretfully and said, "If, I mean if, our invasion methods were gentle and sought to coexist with you Blue Star people, then I believe I would definitely be able to take down your mobile phone business, and then bring this business to the temple... Now, you should know how much I've lost!"

Lin Chen didn't mock him anymore for these words.

Because he knew that Winter was telling the truth.

This businessman had vision, courage, and strength.

Vision, he could keenly perceive business opportunities.

Courage, 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.

Strength, that is, his financial resources!

A person who could casually give away millions of gold coins, how could his financial resources be weak?

"But it's a pity, those technologies on Blue Star are destined not to come back." Winter still looked very regretful.

But in Lin Chen's heart, he was thinking: Are they really gone forever?

Not necessarily!

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

At that time, could the once beautiful homeland, those prosperous cities, come back?

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

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

Some men in gorgeous clothes came to this area.

However, they didn't attack the Blue Star people here.

But their behavior was very infuriating.

When the Blue Star people's team had beaten a monster to low health, with only a sliver of health left, someone from these people would step in and kill the monster!

Wasn't this blatant monster stealing!

So soon, someone returned to the city to report this matter.

Later, Zhang Chunlin personally led the Tianyue Knights to check, but found that he knew the person.

Dela, 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 in the Dragon Spirit Kingdom, and a powerful force in Zhenhai Province.

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

Dela was also very straightforward, directly stating that their De family requested that Tianyue City hand over at least one soul mountain range from the soul mine, and let the De family be responsible for mining it. Then the mined ore would be divided fifty-fifty between the two families.

This was ridiculous.

Tianyue City could get 100% of the mineral resources, so why should they give Debao half for nothing?

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 still seven noble families like the De family in Zhenhai Province!

What if these seven families all came over then?

Were they going to divide eight mountain ranges?

Moreover, this was still a soul 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 Dela.

But he didn't expect that Dela would play dirty!

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

Who could beat him!

At this time, a caravan happened to pass by here.

It was already night.

Lin Chen didn't notice what was happening in the monster area. The caravan also directly entered Tianyue City. After Lin Chen got out of the car, 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 that, he turned around and entered the City Lord's Mansion.

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

The rabbit-eared girl.

"City Lord, you're finally back!"

When Xiao Mei saw Lin Chen, she clung to him, saying, "Xiao Mei missed you so much, City Lord!"

This rabbit-eared girl was at it again.

Lin Chen usually made sure to stay far away from her.

There was no way...

Because this rabbit-eared girl always liked to wear clothes like Pinru.

Too... that!

Lin Chen inconspicuously broke free from her and said, "There are guests, go back to your post!"

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

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

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

On the other hand, Ling Xiaoya's eyes dimmed a bit at that moment...

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

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

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

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

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

"Someone is making trouble?"

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

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

"Dela?"

It was Winter who answered 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 Demille. He graduated from the Third Magic Academy in the Imperial Capital. In the past, when he was in the Imperial Capital, this Fourth Young Master caused a lot of trouble... City Lord, how did you provoke him?"

"Demille, 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 over to officially announce that they would recognize the status of Tianyue City, but how long had it been before someone came to make trouble?

It seemed that not everyone listened to Jin Qiang's words as the Provincial Governor!

"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 make trouble, since they came, then...

He definitely couldn't tolerate it!

Lin Chen planned to personally deal with this matter.

After he said that, 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 took the opportunity to cling to him, and hugged Lin Chen, saying, "City Lord, take me with you, I'll show you the way!"

"Alright!"

Lin Chen was speechless.

He hadn't seen Liu Mengyao since he came back.

However, when Lin Chen returned to Tianyue City, he found that there was still 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 would hold this rabbit-eared girl!

Lin Chen was also not one to suffer losses. The rabbit-eared girl had such an explosive figure, and he didn't avoid touching the places he should touch. It wasn't until he arrived at the leveling area that Lin Chen put her down and said, "Stop panting, lead the way."

"City Lord, be careful, there is a level 150 powerhouse coming,"

Xiao Mei said嬌声 (jiāo shēng - soft, sweet voice), "We, no one is a match for that powerhouse!"

Level 150?

Lin Chen frowned.

The De family was planning to use their power to suppress others?
