My Chaotic City

Chapter 055 Surrender

Li Hanqiang hasn't joined the camp yet, so this "military merit certificate" is obviously unusable and he has to put it away for the time being.

Thus, Li Hanqiang's reward for defending the city this time, besides his own experience points, was only 125 gold coins.

"This reward is too meager." Li Hanqiang lamented that the development in the third month of spring was too slow, there were no refugees and little reserve gold coins, which directly affected his income.

The two, Fanfeng and Dianhu, were quite pleased, as their levels doubled, reaching level 20.

Dark Night Redemption was even more impressive, having already reached level 27. He exclaimed in delight, "Hey, my Chaos City contribution has reached 100, unlocking the commoner privilege. From now on, I'll get a 20% discount on tickets to Chaos City No. 68."

Upon hearing this, Li Hanqiang immediately remembered that it seemed that to obtain the hut in the Demon Mountain Cave, one had to be a commoner.

"Chaos City contribution... I haven't studied this before, but it must be a very important setting." Li Hanqiang thought to himself, and then asked the Fan Knight and the Ignition Sword Saint about their Chaos City contributions.

These two players' contributions to Chaos City were significantly less than those of Night Redemption. Fan Knight only had 51 points, while Ignite Blademaster had even fewer, with only 37 points!

"You can even get a discount on teleportation tickets? That's great! Looks like we need to work on our Chaos City contribution points. There must be even higher privileges above the commoners!" Fan Knight said.

"Isn't it enough to just participate in the city defense to earn contribution points?" asked the Ignition Sword Saint. "That's quite simple."

Dark Night Redemption said, "Alright, now that we've won the defense, it's time for me to retire gracefully."

He cupped his hands in a salute to Li Hanqiang and said, "I have to go back now. To be honest, I was just exploring the Burning Ruins with my brothers. Without my powerful damage output, they'd definitely be wiped out. Goodbye!"

After saying that, he teleported away.

You, Little Li, who had been silent all along, have now teleported away.

Fan Knight and Ignition Sword Saint waved to Li Hanqiang and said, "We're leaving too. We're helping Dark Night Redemption clear a dungeon. Without us tanking, how could they possibly clear [Burning Ruins]?"

The two of them left too.

Li Hanqiang had intended to get them to fight the BOSS level, but he was afraid they wouldn't have the time.

At this moment, the entrances to the Azure Wave Pool and the Demon Mountain Cave reopened, and the group of little demons hiding in the rear became smug, happily doing somersaults and human pyramids, shouting "Great King, Mighty!"

Suddenly, a system notification appeared: "Ding, esteemed Lord of Chaos City, you have launched a sneak attack on Chaos City No. 69 under the Xuanlong Empire, thus establishing a hostile relationship with the Xuanlong Empire. Your current hatred value is 30, and you will be unable to join the Xuanlong Empire's camp for one month."

"Ding, you are currently in hostile relations with the Xuanlong Empire and cannot obtain any services from it."

"Ding! Please note that when your hatred level with the Xuanlong Empire reaches 100, you will be added to the Xuanlong Empire's wanted list. When the hatred level reaches 1000, you will be directly attacked by the Xuanlong Empire. The higher the hatred level, the stronger the attacking army."

"Ding! Hostile aggro level automatically decreases by 1 point per day. You can also quickly reduce aggro level through other means..."

Li Hanqiang realized that these system notifications must be related to last night's robbery.

Robbery is risky, that's for sure.

After considering the context, Li Hanqiang naturally understood that Na Chun Sanyue had already joined the Xuanlong Empire's camp.

Li Hanqiang has not yet joined any faction, but it can be speculated that he might be able to join a faction once he upgrades the Heart of Chaos to LV2.

Joining a faction will definitely have many benefits, and will certainly unlock more gameplay options for the Lord of Chaos City. However, there will obviously be many limitations as well, and it is likely that players within the same faction will not be able to attack each other's cities.

It seems that not only will the Chaos City Lord join the faction, but adventurer players should also be able to join.

However, since he couldn't join the camp yet, Li Hanqiang didn't dwell on it too much. He reassigned tasks to the little demons and then went to the "Important Cave," where the governor, the little monk Huixin, was still imprisoned.

Several little demons followed Li Hanqiang, looking like they had won a battle. They chuckled and approached the little monk Huixin. One second they were bragging and laughing with him, but the next they turned on him, punching and kicking him, then piling him up and doing somersaults.

Fortunately, the little demon's attack power was less than one, otherwise the governor-general monk would probably have died on the spot.

Upon seeing Li Hanqiang appear, the young monk, who was also a provincial governor, straightened his back, clasped his hands together, and said, "This humble monk is a registered provincial governor of the Xuanlong Empire. Who are you, you petty thief? Quickly release this humble monk, or else..."

Before he could finish speaking, a group of little demons rushed forward, pulling at his arms and legs, piling him up on top of each other five or six times.

"Hey, how dare you disrespect the King! You're asking for a beating!"

"Hit him!"

"You wouldn't know this was a demon's cave until you fought it!"

The little demons were making a ruckus, and the poor little monk in charge of administration's health points didn't even reach single digits. He became nothing more than a toy for the little demons, and was beaten until he cried loudly.

Li Hanqiang sighed inwardly, marveling at how incredibly realistic the provincial governor created by the Endless Brain was.

He stepped forward, withdrawing the group of lesser demons, and said to the little monk Huixin, "Little monk, I'm giving you a chance: surrender to me and become my governor, or I'll wash you up and make you my dinner!"

He had a sudden inspiration. Normally, one could only obtain the position of governor by upgrading the Heart of Chaos to LV2, but now that people could be captured, perhaps they could be persuaded to surrender.

The young monk Huixin shook his head repeatedly, tears welling in his eyes, and said, "This humble monk is a registered provincial governor of the Xuanlong Empire, directly under Chaos City No. 69..."

"You little minions!" Li Hanqiang interrupted the young monk Huixin, pointing at him and saying, "You're useless, just kill him!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Kill him!"

The group of lesser demons were eager to fight and were about to step forward when the young monk Huixin, without saying a word, bowed deeply to Li Hanqiang and cried out, "Your Majesty, spare my life! This humble monk surrenders!"

It's gone down!

Li Hanqiang quickly pulled the group of lesser demons back, and a system notification immediately rang in his mind: "Ding, you have recruited a provincial governor!"

Then, Li Hanqiang saw the attribute panel of the wise little monk.

Name: Huixin

Rating: 1

Occupation: Provincial Governor

Faction: None

Loyalty: 1

Personality: Timid

Health: 6/100

Talent: Persuasion. With the governor Huixin stationed in Chaos City, there is a very small chance that she can directly turn the attacking monsters against their will and make them join Chaos City.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Li Hanqiang couldn't help but laugh. He had actually acquired a provincial governor just like that. He had robbed him and obtained him through abnormal means, but the system recognized him. Although the little monk's loyalty was only one point, probably the lowest level of loyalty, he was now under his command.

With this surrender, the little monk Huixin's status suddenly changed, and the group of little demons immediately started to fawn over him, calling him "Sir" with smiles.

Li Hanqiang then asked, "Governor Huixin, what skills do you possess?"

The young monk Huixin got up from the ground, clasped his hands together, sighed, and then said, "Lord City, if you do not yet have a city defense center, this humble monk can oversee its construction!"

"Then what are we waiting for!" Li Hanqiang was overjoyed. "Let's get started! Need any help? I'll give you a hundred little demons, is that enough?"
