Chapter 2524: Entering Zicheng

A few hours later, Lin Feng finally woke up. As soon as he did, he saw Ma Biaohu, Tao Tao, and Tangyuan gathered around him, smiling. Over these few hours, his Divine Soul had largely recovered, and the fatigue of his mind was completely swept away!

"Why are you staring at me?"

Lin Feng stood up and spoke to the two people and the beast. He felt very touched by their concern as he realized they were genuinely worried about him.

"Brother Lin, you’re finally okay," Tao Tao said with a smile, noticing Lin Feng’s restored demeanor.

Lin Feng smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to Lingling, who was piloting Aurora. "Where are we now?" he asked.

"According to the map, we’ll soon be at a secondary city, Zicheng," Lingling replied after checking the map when she heard Lin Feng ask.

Hearing that they were nearing a secondary city, Lin Feng suddenly became interested. He said to everyone, "Let’s go down and explore, relax a bit."

This was Lin Feng’s honest desire. After two years in the cave, he was exhausted—both physically and mentally. So, he wanted to stroll through the city, relax his mind, and also search for resources or other treasures needed for the Mechanism Puppet, which was worth it.

"Sure!"

"We definitely should explore the city!"

"We’ve been in seclusion for over two years!"

...

Everyone was very happy with Lin Feng’s arrangement. Tangyuan was particularly excited, waving its little paws in the air with joy.

Only Lingling was slightly unhappy, because once they entered the city, she would have to hide in that damned sword behind Lin Feng, unable to roam the streets like Tao Tao, which made her very sad. She secretly glanced at Lin Feng, wondering when he would resolve this for her, so she could have legs like a normal person and no longer need to hide...

Seeing everyone happy, Lin Feng was also pleased. But when he inadvertently saw Lingling’s gaze, he frowned slightly. There was some instinctive aversion towards Lingling, not because she wasn’t pretty, but because he felt her manner was too daring for him to handle.

At that moment, Lin Feng spotted Zicheng from a distance on the virtual screen and said to Lingling, "Let’s stop here and walk over."

Just after he said this, Lin Feng recalled his earlier idea, so he told everyone, "This Aurora can’t be known by others. We must be extra careful whenever we use it in the future."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Ma Biaohu, standing nearby, grinned and said to Lin Feng, "Boss Lin, Miss Tao Tao has already told us all about that, no need for you to repeat."

"Oh?" Lin Feng glanced at Tao Tao and smiled, nodding. Since that was the case, it was truly a good thing.

Being under Lin Feng’s attention, Tao Tao blushed slightly but soon calmed down, acting as if nothing had happened.

Soon, Aurora descended into the forest, hovering half a meter above the ground. After everyone left Aurora, Lin Feng waved his hand, storing Aurora into the Space Ring, and led everyone toward the distant Zicheng.

The appearance of Zicheng could be seen from the sky, and the view became surprisingly exaggerated when on the ground—a thousand miles of terrain they walked, playing and frolicking, passing quickly. Along the way, they encountered a few very special little beasts. Lin Feng became interested and had Ma Biaohu catch them so they could enjoy a barbecue together.

Of course, Tao Tao and the others were overjoyed, and Lingling initially wondered what was so tasty about roasted meat, something she often did before. But after tasting Lin Feng’s barbecue, she couldn’t help herself and began competing with Tao Tao and the others for it...

In a very cheerful atmosphere, they arrived at Zicheng, from afar admiring its grandeur. The towering super walls, over a hundred feet tall, seemed like a sky wall, blocking most of their view, leaving them deeply impressed. A secondary main city was indeed a secondary main city; its level of prosperity far exceeded that of Xucheng, a third-tier city, and even Ling City paled in comparison.

Following the flow of people into Zicheng, they were instantly infected by its bustling scene. Unlike Ling City, there were no distinct ranks in Zicheng’s urban structure. Virtually everyone was mixed together, whether rich or poor, seen everywhere on the streets. To their surprise, Zicheng didn’t have a single beggar, which they hadn’t encountered in other cities before.

Soon, they merged into the lively crowd, noticing that everyone’s faces carried smiles, making Lin Feng and the others feel a bit odd. Upon some inquiry, they discovered the reason was that their beloved City Lord was soon to be married, and the whole city was engulfed in festive cheer.

"How strange, who is this City Lord of Zicheng, that everyone in the city is so happy?"

Seeing this unique situation, Tao Tao asked puzzledly, having experienced many cities with Lin Feng, but encountering something like this for the first time. Previously, city lords were hardly known to the city people, let alone loved. But the City Lord of Zicheng was intriguingly different, sparking curiosity among them.

"Hmm, it is indeed unusual; let’s find a place to ask around," Lin Feng nodded in agreement, equally perplexed by this. In the past, city lords were all aloof and unreachable, but the City Lord of Zicheng seemed extraordinary. If guessed correctly, he should be a very approachable City Lord.

After saying this, Lin Feng led them to a fairly decent-looking tavern nearby. The tavern had only two floors, perhaps due to the early hour, so Lin Feng and the group went directly to the second floor. Upon reaching the second floor, they found just four tables, divided into four private rooms.

They ordered some simple drinks and dishes, and as the waiter finished serving, Lin Feng suddenly grabbed him, asking, "Brother, I just arrived from another city and am very curious. Why do you all love the City Lord so much? I’ve never encountered such a city before."

Once the waiter heard Lin Feng inquire about the City Lord of Zicheng, his face immediately lit up with a knowing smile, saying, "Our happy lives are all thanks to the City Lord. We all genuinely feel fortunate to have such a City Lord."

Hearing this from the waiter, everyone immediately became intrigued, their eyes filled with curiosity.

"Oh? Can you tell us more?" Lin Feng, eager to learn, asked the waiter to elaborate on the details.

"Of course, the entire Zicheng knows," the waiter warmly responded, then eagerly explained to Lin Feng and the group, "The City Lord has yet to be here ten years. During this period, the City Lord reorganized everything within the city with clear rewards and penalties, regardless of backgrounds. Even those with power and influence must follow the rules set by the City Lord, irrespective of identity!"

He continued, joyfully adding, "You might not know, but previously, Zicheng was terribly chaotic, with prominent families doing as they pleased. We were miserable back then. Later, a new City Lord emerged and under his strict governance, new order emerged. Prominent families and ordinary people alike must abide by the rules. Moreover, the City Lord introduced measures making significant improvements in common people’s lives, where there were once many beggars, now all have work and self-sufficiency!"

"Oh? Such a City Lord is truly unexpected!"

"Your City Lord is enlightened!"

...

Lin Feng and the others nodded in agreement after hearing the waiter’s words. If a city possesses a good City Lord, its development will surely head in a positive direction. This is indeed a great blessing for the residents, allowing them to live happily in such a positive atmosphere. However, achieving such feats isn’t something a typical City Lord can accomplish.

"But waiter, with the interests of the prominent families being restricted, do they agree?" Lin Feng asked, puzzled by the complexities, feeling the situation might not be that straightforward.

"Of course not. Initially, those prominent families caused quite a stir, turning the city into turmoil. But overnight, all those troublemakers from the prominent families died, including several patriarchs. That night, blood flowed through the city streets, with numerous casualties among the prominent families. After this event, they quickly surrendered and obediently complied with the City Lord’s demands." The waiter said, his face more excited, "You have no idea how happy the city was after those families ceased their rebellion. From then on, everyone in Zicheng loved having such a City Lord. Compared to the previous ones, it’s like night and day!"

After saying this, the waiter heard calls from downstairs and promptly went down.

"I never thought Zicheng would have such an iron-fisted City Lord!"

Lin Feng murmured to himself, feeling there might be issues with this situation. To become the City Lord of a secondary main city, you must be at least at the pinnacle of the Universe Realm. Would such a figure truly be so passionate about ordinary people and do so much for them? There seems to be some irrational elements in this...
