Chapter 58: The Warmth Explosion

As expected.

Under the system's guidance, language has already lost the ability to communicate.

Lin Bai sighed, took two steps forward, took down the brush Xu Longyun had just hung up, pulled over a piece of paper, and wrote: "Clouds recall her clothes, flowers recall her face; City Lord, can we discuss business in this place?"

Xu Longyun looked at the poem written on the paper, then looked up at Lin Bai, recalled his bizarre behavior of inexplicably running to the medical clinic to be an apprentice for a day, shook her head, picked up the official document placed to the side, sent it before Lin Bai, and said: "I just received news that the Chaoyuan Sword Sect, Huilong Temple, Hundred Flowers Valley, Medicine King Valley, and Spirit Tool Pavilion are going to set up disciple recruitment stations in Qian City."

So that's where players change classes!

The second round of closed beta players are entering the game, and the upper-level towns are only just now adding places to learn high-level Skills...

It looks like the game development team is as if nothing is prepared.

What a strange setting!

Lin Bai reached out to take the brush, but the moment his hand touched the brush, the perfectly fine brush handle went *bang* and shattered into fragments. He looked up in surprise, only to see Xu Longyun's half-smiling eyes.

F*ck!

You just want to hear me praise you, don't you!

Since you don't want to communicate, don't blame me for being impolite.

Lin Bai gave a secret snort and raised his thumb: "The City Lord is truly a person of great wisdom; every word you speak is filled with profound meaning. Such wisdom is surely the greatest in a hundred years."

"..." Xu Longyun was completely bewildered.

Lin Bai looked at the City Lord triumphantly with a smile on his face; the system required him to say nice things all day, but it didn't require that there must be questions and answers.

So what if it's like a donkey's lips not matching a horse's mouth?

I'm just going to act like a lunatic for the day.

You're the one who brought me here; if you're capable, then don't say anything to me at all...

"Shopkeeper Lin, what is your view on this matter?" Xu Longyun asked.

"The City Lord occupies a high position, yet can still put yourself in others' shoes; such character is truly rare," Lin Bai praised.

Listening to this nonsensical answer, Xu Longyun's face gradually sank, and she said: "These sects are transcendent, choosing disciples entirely based on fate. Their sudden entry into the world to select disciples this time must be for the Heavenly Descended. Shopkeeper Lin, the Heavenly Descended possess an Undying Body and their behavior is completely uncontrollable. Once they learn higher Immortal Arts, they might bring disaster to Jiamu City. Shouldn't we treat them better?"

"There are two kinds of women in the world who are the most charming: one is the beautiful, and the other is the wise. The City Lord belongs to the third kind: both beautiful and wise," Lin Bai said.

"Enough!" Xu Longyun glared at Lin Bai and slapped the table with a *snap*. "Shopkeeper Lin, is it fun to talk like this?"

【Anger from Xu Longyun; +1+1+1+1】

To hell with 'a kind word warms three winters' being beneficial for interpersonal relationships; it's all complete bullsh*t...

Sensing Xu Longyun's sudden change in emotion.

Lin Bai secretly groaned, but he couldn't explain; if he explained, all his previous hard work would be in vain. He pointed at the shattered pieces of the brush and laughed: "Even when the City Lord is angry, you are so charming!"

Xu Longyun frowned slightly: "Shopkeeper Lin, do you have some hidden difficulty?"

"The City Lord is indeed as bright as ice and snow," Lin Bai raised his thumb. He had to shorten his sentences; talking like this was too exhausting.

The level of Immortal Art is higher than Martial Art; Palm Thunder is indeed not that easy to learn.

Xu Longyun snorted, took another brush from the brush rack behind her, threw it to Lin Bai, and asked irritably: "Why are you talking like this?"

"Practicing," Lin Bai wrote down two words simply.

【Resentment from Xu Longyun; +1】

Xu Longyun felt her intelligence had been insulted. Even the most evil sect wouldn't practice like this. In that instant, a chill flashed in her eyes, and she actually had the impulse to kill Lin Bai.

But once she thought about how Jiamu City was in ruins and that subsequent matters still needed Lin Bai to handle, she had to suppress this impulse.

Of course, there was another reason: she couldn't see through Lin Bai's identity.

The investigation into Lin Bai stopped at the Luo Family; he was just like those Heavenly Descended, as if he had popped out of thin air.

Yet, whether it was his skills or his thoughts, he was completely incompatible with the Heavenly Descended...

How hateful!

Why was she so blinded by greed back then to reach a cooperation with this unreliable person!

"Write! I don't want to hear another word of flattery from your mouth!" Xu Longyun said with a cold face.

How could that be?

What if I miss a sentence and don't meet the task requirements?

I can say more, but I can't say less!

"The City Lord is broad-minded and can tolerate what others cannot; every word you say is of lifelong benefit to me!" Lin Bai was a man possessed; as long as he could achieve his goal, when had he ever cared about what others thought?

Besides, Xu Longyun was just a small novice village Village Chief; how could he give up his own growth for her?

Moreover, those sects in the official document that sounded very powerful made Lin Bai feel his own inadequacy even more. At this moment, he was like a sponge; any knowledge or Skill useful to him had to be grasped.

Feeling the Negative Emotion provided by the City Lord, Lin Bai wrote on the paper: "If the City Lord has a way to make them learn the rules while in Jiamu City, then there is no fear of them acting recklessly!"

Saying one thing, writing another.

Xu Longyun felt as if two people were standing in front of her. She took a deep breath: "How to establish rules?"

"The City Lord should keep a straight face, because once you smile, there will be no way for other women to survive," Lin Bai wrote while singing praises, gradually starting to speak without thinking.

Xu Longyun froze on the spot, looking at Lin Bai, her heartbeat inexplicably speeding up a bit.

【Shyness from Xu Longyun; +1】

Sensing the emotions in the background, Lin Bai looked at Xu Longyun strangely, smiled faintly, and continued to write on the paper: "Use the Heavenly Descended to govern the Heavenly Descended; even if someone learns great Immortal Arts in the future, they will not vent their anger on Jiamu City."

"Hmm, I see." Xu Longyun glanced at the handwriting on the paper and forced herself to stay calm. "Shopkeeper Lin, these past two days, the City Lord's Mansion's Dark Guard have been leaving early and returning late, hunting on Xishan, and cooperating with each other, growing very fast. I plan to arrange for them to temporarily take over the duties of the city guards. Various clues indicate that a second batch of Heavenly Descended is likely to arrive soon. Shopkeeper Lin, you must be extra careful."

Holy crap!

Truly worthy of the name City Lord!

I only knew the secret after eavesdropping on their conversation, yet you were able to analyze it from their behavior. Amazing!

Lin Bai couldn't help but praise: "Beauty and wisdom combined, a talent that can manage the world—that must be the City Lord. My admiration for the City Lord is like the surging river, continuous and endless..."

"Alright, you can go now." Xu Longyun widened her eyes, couldn't help but rub her temples, and waved her hand: "When you have recovered to normal, come back to the City Lord's Mansion. If you stay like this, don't come again."

【Pleasure from Xu Longyun; +1】

A woman who says one thing but means another!

Lin Bai engaged in some Belly-Defamation, and before leaving, he continued to farm the completion progress of the unknown quest: "City Lord, you should also rest early. You must know that your body is not just your own, but belongs to the entire Jiamu City..."

"Get out!" Xu Longyun could not help but scold.

Lin Bai smiled and retreated, but even after walking a long distance away, the background continued to send notifications: 【Pleasure from Xu Longyun; +1+1+1】.

City Lord's Mansion.

Xu Longyun's heart was in chaos. She touched her own face and murmured, "Both beauty and wisdom? Where did this bastard get so many nauseating words? He's not a proper person. 'Clouds resemble clothes, flowers resemble her face'... Damn it, this bastard came up with another incomplete poem. I want to kill him..."

While Lin Bai was racking his brains to send warmth.

On the forum of "Xianxia World", it was already in an uproar.

"Brothers who were selected for the closed beta, gather here if you are going to Jiamu City."

"Add me in, I want to go worship the great Deng Li Buduo."

"Damn, it is said that Jiamu City has created a Remnant City, the kind that can drive people with OCD to death. I want to see just how 'remnant' it is."

"Going too. Is there any newbie village more interesting than Jiamu City?"

"A bunch of idiots. Jiamu City has already been fully developed by the great Deng Li Buduo. If you go there, you will just be living under the shadow of the great one. If you want to go somewhere, you should go to a newbie village without any features and transform them into what you want them to be."

"Get lost, poster above. With the great Deng Li Buduo leading the way, Jiamu City is a paradise for players."

"Form a group to take down the boss of the Kitchen God Rice Divination, help the great Deng Li Buduo turn the tables and become the master, and dominate the newbie village!"

"Add one."
