Given Gu Chen's current prowess, no matter which city he joins, the professionals there will benefit.
This is undeniable.
Why does the Shenxia Empire cultivate professionals?
Because every time they achieve an Abyssal Achievement, they can curb the invasion of the Abyssal forces into this world.
While Abyssal Achievements aren't as easy to obtain as individual achievements, once they are achieved, the difficulty of the Abyss decreases, and the rewards for completing the level increase accordingly.
The Bone Burial Dungeon remains so difficult because few professionals have ever achieved it.
To achieve this, one must enter the Hell-level Abyss.
Although Gu Chen doesn't currently meet the requirements, no one doubts his potential.
After all, in the eyes of the world, he is an undoubted genius, and achieving the Abyssal Achievement is only a matter of time.
Until this moment, someone finally understood why the Wancheng City Lord was the first to arrive at the Abyss Square.
Because Wancheng desperately needs a genius like Gu Chen to help them achieve the Abyssal Achievement.
Although the Bone Burial Dungeon was a first-level Abyss, its difficulty was too high, forcing many new professionals to abandon it.
Unable to conquer the Abyss at home, they had no choice but to move to larger cities; this was inevitable.
As a result, a large number of professionals from Wancheng were gradually lost.
The loss of fresh blood doomed the city to decline, and once decline began, it became a vicious cycle.
At this time, some professionals from Lincheng suddenly realized a fatal problem.
"No, absolutely not! If Gu Chen is snatched away by Liang Yi, he'll be a Wancheng resident from now on. Even if he achieves Abyssal Achievement, we won't benefit at all."
"How can we? Lincheng finally produced a talented professional. We absolutely cannot let Wancheng snatch him away."
"No, don't you know how you Lincheng people feel about Gu Chen? He's been an SSS-level rank for so long, and where's his admission quota?" "
Hey, that's not right. Why would you Lincheng people come to the Bone Burial Dungeon? This is Wancheng's Abyss!"
"Great! If Gu Chen can drive Wancheng's rise, I'll rent my balcony for 1,000 yuan a month." Each
with their own thoughts.
Some Lincheng residents who had followed Gu Chen's popularity were suddenly restless.
At first, they hadn't paid much attention to the matter itself, just coming along to enjoy the melodrama and see what made the legendary royal son different from ordinary people. After all
, Gu Chen wasn't on their level, and they wouldn't have any future contact.
But now it was different.
Judging from the talent that Gu Chen has shown so far, it is only a matter of time before he achieves the Abyss. It is almost foreseeable that in the near future, the difficulty of clearing the Bone Dungeon will definitely decrease, and the rewards will be more generous.
In this way, professionals in Wancheng will no longer have to leave their hometowns to upgrade.
After Gu Chen clears the Abyss, all professionals in Wancheng can also share in the profits.
It can be said that Gu Chen is the pillar of all professionals in Wancheng!
"Fuck! Fuck! What's going on in Lincheng? The people from the City Hall haven't come yet?"
The professionals in Lincheng were anxious because they saw Liang Yi leading people towards the direction where Gu Chen was.
"Damn it, Liang Yi is so shameless! Who has someone at Lincheng City Hall? Call them!"
"Wait, I'm calling the City Lord right now."
"Fuck, big brother, you're so good! You even have the Lincheng City Lord's phone number?"
"Isn't there a City Lord hotline?"
"Oh, then go ahead. If you can get through, I lose."
"..."
Just then, Gu Chen finished sorting out his gains from this trip to the Abyss when he saw several imposing middle-aged men appear before him.
Liang Yi stood before Gu Chen and, without further ado, stated,
"Hello, Gu Chen. I'm Liang Yi, the City Lord of Wancheng. On behalf of the people of Wancheng, I sincerely invite you to join this—"
"Okay, I'll join." Gu Chen agreed without hesitation.
The reason was simple: putting aside his Wancheng City Lordship, Liang Yi clearly came with sincerity.
The four men behind him each held two treasure chests and two gift boxes. One of the gift boxes contained a summoning skill book.
After being in this world for so long, no one has ever offered him such generous conditions.
Hearing Gu Chen's immediate agreement, Liang Yi's face showed an undisguised excitement.
Li Feng, who was standing behind him, twitched his cheeks. Just four short words directly destroyed the three sets of rhetoric he had racked his brains to come up with.
Not playing by the rules at all?
Behind Li Feng, the three negotiation experts looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths rose in tacit understanding.
Done, off work.
I have never done such an easy job in my life.
At this moment of everyone's joy, another middle-aged man in a dark gray jacket came up with several people.
"No way, the people from Lincheng City Hall are only here now? It's too late!"
"The team is led by the city lord Xu Lai. I've met him. He was in the news some time ago."
"There are five people in total, why do they all come empty-handed? With this attitude, do they really not care about Gu Chen?"
"Putting aside his identity as a royal son, he is also a genius who has passed the nightmare-level abyss!"
"Oh my God! Fortunately, I am from Wancheng. I am sure that Lincheng will definitely be destroyed in the hands of this city lord named Xu Lai."
"Young Master Gu Chen!"
Xu Lai saw Gu Chen's figure and trotted over.
"Sir, on behalf of Lincheng, I congratulate you on successfully clearing the first-level Abyssal Bone Dungeon. Now that the Li family has been destroyed, please come back to Lincheng with me. The people of the city are waiting to celebrate with you."
"As for the recommendation quota, it was indeed the Lincheng City Hall that did something wrong. Don't worry, I have prepared a set of resources that are no less than the Hell-level clearance rewards, just as compensation for you."
Xu Lai spoke quickly, spouting the speech prepared by his secretary, but he did not mention the implementation of the recommendation quota.
Upon hearing this, Liang Yi beside him laughed.
"City Lord Xu, Gu Chen is an SSS-level rated winner. He cleared the Hell-level dungeon of the Temple Ruins and refreshed the Nightmare-level Abyss of the Bone Dungeon. Is this your compensation? Sending away a beggar?"
Xu Lai snorted coldly, ignoring Liang Yi and continued to say to Gu Chen: "Sir, you are from the Northern Territory, you should return to Lincheng first--"
"What did you say just now?" Gu Chen interrupted Xu Lai directly.
"Uh..." Xu Lai was stunned, thought for a while, and said: "I said we should go back to Lincheng first."
"No, the last sentence."
"You are from the Northern Territory."
"Who told you I am from the Northern Territory?"
"You are the son of the royal family of the Northern Territory!"
"Lord Xu must have recognized the wrong person. My name is not in the royal family's genealogy. Please go back."
Xu Lai was stunned and was directly silenced by this sentence.
After a pause, he said: "Sir, the king has made arrangements. As long as you return to Gubei City, he will definitely give you a place for recommendation."
