Chapter 336: Control and Suggestion!
Adam City's City Lord's Mansion.
Li Xiang met Hademan.
The servants in the mansion immediately prepared a seat for Li Xiang.
Li Xiang glanced at it and sat down.
After the servants left, only Li Xiang and Hademan remained.
Hademan came before Li Xiang, extremely respectful, "Master, you've arrived. Please don't blame me, Master, there were servants just now, I..."
"No need to explain. Our relationship cannot be made public. You just need to know that I am your Master. In front of outsiders, you are the City Lord, and I am just an ordinary citizen."
"Yes, yes, yes... Master."
"You look well. Have you taken control of the City Lord's Mansion?"
"Yes, Master, control has been completed."
In one day, he took control of the City Lord's Mansion.
It has to be said, this Hademan still has some capability.
"Well done. What's the next step?"
"I plan to meet with a few Grand Dukes in the city and have them become my helpers."
"That's a good idea, but this action is not feasible."
Hademan looked at Li Xiang in confusion, "Wh- why? With the help of these nobles, it would be a great help for me to control Adam City.
The previous City Lord only managed with the help of these nobles..."
Li Xiang directly raised his hand to interrupt, "What do you think a City Lord must hold in his hands to be considered a City Lord?"
Hademan hesitated, "Is it... power?"
"Of course, you're right, it's power. But do you have power in your hands right now?"
Hademan was stunned, "I... I have the City Lord's Mansion..."
"What's the use of having the City Lord's Mansion? Are you going to let these servants and the few guards from the City Lord's Mansion protect Adam City? Will the people believe in your ability? Will the nobles respect you?"
Hademan was rendered speechless.
A mere City Lord's Mansion is just a City Lord's Mansion; it's not of much help.
"Go take control of Adam City's military power. After the Commandant died, the barracks are now without a leader. It's perfectly normal for you, as the Acting City Lord, to go and offer condolences."
Hademan's eyes widened, "I understand, Master, I'll go do it now!"
"Okay, I'll come again tomorrow. I look forward to your good news."
"Yes! Master!"
Li Xiang got up, and after walking a few steps, he looked back at Hademan.
"Oh, right. When you encounter something difficult to handle, you can give the Others a small reward to do it. They are willing to do anything to get what you give them."
...
Hademan looked at the chair Li Xiang had sat on, his eyes filled with fear.
First, take control of the army. After having the army, then seek the support of the nobles!
This was the answer Li Xiang gave.
However, Hademan hadn't thought of such a simple answer before.
Ultimately, he was just someone who came from a town. There was no such thing as an army in the town at all. In his original understanding, as long as he gathered all the rich people in the town around him, he could properly control the town.
But...
This is a city...
It needs the power of the army...
Hademan had no doubt that if Li Xiang came tomorrow and he hadn't gained control of the army, or if he didn't look good, his fate would definitely not be pleasant.
This is his chance...
A chance to soar to the sky; he must seize it.
"But... what does it mean to hand it over to the Others... Master, she... is also an Other... She must have her reasons for saying this."
Unable to figure this out, Hademan kept it in mind, then looked outside and shouted loudly.
"Prepare the carriage, to the barracks! Bring all the remaining five million gold coins!"
...
Li Xiang walked on the roads of Adam City.
"I wonder if Hademan can understand what I said. If guiding him to issue quests to players is feasible, then it would be equivalent to being able to control the players in my hands..."
"Whew... This is a major event in Genesis..."
The sky had already grown dim.
Many things happened today.
After coming here, the things to do have also increased.
*Ding.*
A friend message arrived.
Li Xiang opened it and found that it was sent by Lu Qingshui.
"As expected of the President, blocking thousands of players alone. Now, the girls from the Heaven's Gift Guild probably can't leave you, right~"
Facing Lu Qingshui's teasing, Li Xiang replied with a smile, "They are not important. It's enough that you can't leave me."
...
Gods Guild, in the Town Hall.
Lu Qingshui saw Li Xiang's reply, her pretty face flushed, and then she remembered the main point, "Guild members recently found a clue to a special item that allows players to teleport freely between any two coordinates. After we find it, I'll send it to you, so you can move between the Dafen Empire and the Dragon Flame Empire."
Seeing what Lu Qingshui said, Li Xiang's eyes lit up, "Speed up the search progress. If this item can really be found, it's strategic-level!"
"Mhm mhm, I've already sent out a large number of people to search."
"You've worked hard."
Closing the chat panel, Li Xiang let out a long breath.
He is currently in the Dafen Empire, so the Guild over there will have to rely entirely on the members to hold their ground.
With the foundation he has laid, the Gods Guild will still be in an absolutely leading position for a short time.
But after he left, the major Guilds within the Dragon Flame Empire might catch up to the Gods Guild in terms of dungeon progress and other aspects. This is also a worrying point.
After all, once a god is created, not even a tiny flaw is allowed.
All Guilds know that since he is currently in the Dafen Empire, the first clear within the Dragon Flame Empire will be difficult to achieve, which will give other Guilds a chance.
If this treasure can really be found, then Li Xiang can run between the two sides and won't have to be cautious because dying here would prevent him from coming back.
Moreover, there is another problem: the current Li Xiang cannot return to the Dragon Flame Empire at all. If he wants to go back, the only way is to die and respawn there.
Putting away his thoughts, Li Xiang glanced at the players tracking him in the distance and activated his Town Portal Stone.
The countdown ended.
Li Xiang's figure appeared in the Heaven's Gift Guild Residence.
The Guild is now a bit more lively.
The Guild members have increased again, reaching over fifty.
Li Xiang glanced over and saw that they were all female players.
Li Xiang's appearance was immediately surrounded by a group of female players.
"Big Sister is back!"
Poetic Spring directly hugged Li Xiang's arm, getting intimate with Li Xiang.
Her assets were large, and the sensation of them pressing against his arm made Li Xiang's thoughts wander.
And the players nearby were also very close, completely unguarded. As long as Li Xiang moved, he would touch their bodies.
If they knew he was male, they could probably skin him alive.
Thinking of this, Li Xiang felt a chill down his spine, and the flame that had just risen immediately extinguished.
"Everyone has worked hard. Are there any cooks in the Guild? Let's have a bonfire party to celebrate."
"Yes! I am!"
"Me too~"
"And me~"
Li Xiang waved his hand, "Alright, let's get started!"
"Yay!"
