" Feng Shan, take your men and arrest those shameless scoundrels who took their pants off in public, and throw them straight into jail."
Lin Xiao snorted coldly.
That's outrageous! They dared to take off their pants in public; they completely disregard the City Lord's Residence.
"Yes."
Feng Shan accepted the order and immediately led his men toward the square.
" Ji Yuan, have someone find out where these people came from," Lin Xiao continued to instruct.
"Yes."
Ji Yuan nodded and followed Feng Shan with more than ten guards.
"Lord of the city, these people seem to have appeared out of thin air; they're probably not simple," Qian Yang said.
"Indeed, even with my strength, I didn't realize how these people appeared," Lin Xiao said.
Eight months have passed since I parted ways with Lin An in Guangwu City.
His cultivation level had now reached the Diamond Realm.
The reason he was able to cultivate so quickly was not only because the Lin Clan Cultivation Technique was Mythic Rank technique, but also because of Lin An, who provided him with a large amount of cultivation resources.
Not only has his strength improved, but Qian Yang, who was beside him, as well as Feng Shan and Ji Yuan, who had just left, have also reached the Gold Realm.
Shenglin City is now at its strongest in hundreds of years, and the three major families within the city are now merely nominal existences.
I wonder how An'er is doing.
Lin Xiao's mind flashed with Lin An's image. In all these years, this was the first time his son had been away from him for so long. It would be a lie to say he didn't miss him.
However, he also knew that Lin An deserved a wider world, and all he could do was guard Shenglin City and wait for him to return.
"And Yun'er, I wonder if she and her son have met again." Lin Xiao was lost in thought.
In the square.
Many people are still taking their pants off, but others are starting to explore the game's various features.
Everyone first opened their personal panels and compared them, finding that they were all pretty much the same.
In addition, there is a chat channel, which is divided into regional chat and server-wide chat.
The chat channel was now buzzing with activity.
"Holy crap, everyone, don't take your pants off in the square! I got arrested by the guards and I'm in jail now."
If you had told me sooner, I wouldn't be in jail now.
"This game world is so realistic! And those guards are incredibly strong. Even with dozens of us teaming up, we couldn't defeat just one, and we even got killed quite a few of them."
"Damn it, the game company is such a rip-off! Why did they release this feature if they couldn't just take their pants off? It got me arrested."
"..."
The players in Shenglin City froze upon seeing these chat messages.
The player who had just tried to take off his pants quickly looked around, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he found no guards.
It seems they were lucky and weren't spotted by the guards.
At that moment, the chat channel suddenly erupted in chaos.
"Holy crap, holy crap, look at the leaderboard!"
Upon seeing this news, many players then noticed a leaderboard feature next to their personal panel and immediately opened it out of curiosity.
[ Realm Ranking ]
[First Place]: Lin An, Legendary Realm Ninth Grade.
[ Array Master Ranking ]
[First Place]: Lin An, Mythic Rank.
[ Puppeteer Ranking ]
[First Place]: Lin An, Mythic Rank.
There are a total of 14 leaderboards, and the number one spot is occupied by a player named Lin An in all of them.
"Holy crap, what's going on? The server has only been open for a few minutes, how come Lin An's cultivation level is already Legendary Realm?"
All the players were shocked. Although the game had just started, they had already learned about some background information about this world from the official website, and naturally they also knew about the division of realms.
Black Iron Realm, Bronze Realm, Silver Realm, Gold Realm, Platinum Realm, Diamond Realm, Epic Realm, Legendary Realm, Mythic Realm, King Conferment...
The Legendary Realm is already the eighth realm, while they haven't even reached that realm yet; the gap is simply too great.
Moreover, not only has the opponent reached the Legendary Realm, but they also possess thirteen secondary professions, the lowest of which are Epic Tier, and two of which are Mythic Rank.
"This is cheating! This is blatant cheating! The server just opened, how can someone occupy fourteen leaderboards and be so strong?"
"Who is this Lin An? Could he have found a bug in the game and modified the data?"
"It's possible, but I think it's unlikely, because doing so would be too blatant. The game company couldn't possibly be unaware of it, and they would definitely ban the account immediately."
"The account hasn't been banned yet. Either the game company hasn't reacted yet, or this Lin An was originally an internal account of the game company, possibly used for game testing, and they forgot to delete it."
"I initially thought this game was very realistic and groundbreaking, but this happened on the leaderboard right after the server launched, and its reputation is probably going to collapse."
"Game company, why don't you ban this account right now? Considering how realistic your game is, I might try to forgive you this once."
"Forgiveness is one thing, but compensation is another; a few million attribute points for each person will suffice."
"..."
Many people were shocked to see Lin An on the leaderboard, while others thought it was because the game company forgot to delete his account during game testing.
However, many players in Shenglin City had no time to pay attention to the leaderboards and chat channels at this moment, because Feng Shan had already arrived with his guards.
"Arrest those people who were taking their pants off in the square just now!" Feng Shan gave the order, and the guards immediately sprang into action, rushing towards the players.
"What are you doing? Why are you arresting us?"
"Let us go! We were just trying to see if we could take our pants off, we never thought we could actually do it!"
"Big brother, please forgive us this time, we really won't do it again."
"Brothers, what are you afraid of? We're the Fourth Calamity! We won't let these NPCs capture us. Let's fight them!"
"..."
Some panicked, some begged for mercy, and some refused to accept it.
"Boom!"
But as Feng Shan made his move, killing one of the men who rushed at him with a single punch, the scene fell silent.
"Is there anyone else who disagrees?" Feng Shan's expression was cold, and the aura of the Gold Realm was released, making all the players feel immense pressure.
Seeing that no one else spoke, Feng Shan waved his hand, and immediately over a hundred people were taken away by the guards.
While the idea of taking off one's pants in a game is incredibly tempting for players, most people still have a sense of shame and wouldn't actually do it in front of so many people.
At most, I plan to find a secluded corner later and take it off to take a look.
After Feng Shan arrested the people and left, Ji Yuan also arrived with his personal guards.
I took more than ten players with me, intending to ask them where they came from.
As for the rest of the people, they were all confined to the square by guards and were not allowed to wander around.
This naturally caused dissatisfaction among all players; as the fourth calamity, this was the first time they had felt so aggrieved.
Yet they dared not resist, because they had just logged out of the game and seen online that once someone died, it would take 24 hours to respawn.
The server has just opened, and this is a crucial time for early access. If you lose 24 hours, the gap between you and other players will widen significantly.
Half an hour later, Ji Yuan found Lin Xiao.
"Lord City Lord, the origins of these people are now clear."
Ji Yuan's expression was grave as he spoke.
