After officially becoming the city lord, Yi Yun did not immediately go to the city lord's palace to take care of the city.

Instead, he turned away the other way.

With the world rules almost the same as the real world, just because he was already holding the ring of the city lord, that didn't mean Yi Yun could act as he pleased.

Without the strength to make the people obey, Yi Yun could never have called himself the lord of the city.

After the announcement to the entire city beforehand, and the rules he had made spread out, other players would definitely not be able to accept it.

Yi Yun knew that right now most of the players would have rushed to the city lord's palace to cause trouble for him. Because of that, he chose to quickly leave the place.

Currently, all players are still at level one. Even though Yi Yun and his family had even more energy points, they wouldn't be able to match the dozens of people who were only slightly weaker than them.

Of course, because of her city lord status and his family's noble status, the other players wouldn't be able to attack them either. But, they won't be able to do anything about those players either.

Actually, the rule other players couldn't attack Yi Yun only applied if Yi Yun didn't attack them. However, if Yi Yun attacked them first, they could still put up a fight.

If Yi Yun wanted to become a true city lord, he had to first have strength over others.

Yi Yun's aim this time was to level up first.

The easiest way to level up is by killing the monsters that are destroying this country. They can be found anywhere outside the city. However, compared to killing monsters, it would be faster if he did it by completing the Quest.

While working on QUEST, he could still kill monsters. But the most important thing is the reward after completing the Quest. Not only would Yi Yun gain EXP, he would also get coins as payment. Of course there are other rewards such as items that can increase energy points if he is lucky.

Coins are very important in this game world. Not only that, it can be used to transact between fellow players and natives of this world. It can also be used for shopping at game stores.

Game shop! It can be found in all cities in this game world. As long as the player has enough coins, the player can buy anything there.

Apart from that, the game shop in this game is rather unique in that it is not actually managed by natives, but by aliens of unknown origin. Of course, they still looked the same as humans, but their appearance was different from the natives of this game world.

Even in Yi Yun's past life, their origins were still unknown. But compared to the natives who thought of this game world as their real world, the NPCs managing the game shop actually knew that this world was a game. And they are also the ones who have spread rumors about the mysterious existence that created this game.

....

Besides not being available all the time, Quest is also not easy to find. One cannot tell which natives need help.

And the natives themselves were also a little too scared to talk to the heroes because many of them behaved like Bear Emperor who thought they were just game NPCs that could be beaten up just like that.

In Yi Yun's past life, the city lord would build a special place to make QUEST so that people who wanted to search for QUEST could come there directly.

However, Yi Yun who wanted to raise his level as fast as possible naturally would not allow that to happen.

Although it was hard to find a native who wanted to ask for help, Yi Yun who had experienced this game certainly had his own way of finding it.

The simplest way to find it is by going directly to the natives, and asking them kindly if they need help.

Yi Yun, who did not want his way to be found out by other players, started going around the city looking for the territory of the native people who were far away from the other players.

Ring...

(Someone just sent a friend request)

A message suddenly appeared on Yi Yun's virtual screen as Yi Yun toured the city.

Seeing that, Yi Yun quickly opened the message.

Yi Yun could guess that the friendship request came from the Dragon Prince.

To make a friend request, two players must be in an area that is close to each other. If the players are far apart, they can only do so via the ID of the player they want to add as a friend.

And the only person who knew Yi Yun's current game ID was only the Dragon Prince.

(Accept)

Yi Yun clicked the accept friendship button after seeing that it was indeed Dragon Prince.

"I waited quite a while. I thought you didn't try it. -_-" Yi Yun sent a message.

"Sorry, I was too shocked by this game. You know, it sure feels very real." Dragon Prince replied.

"Well, you might need to get out for a while."

"Get out? Why?"

"Oh, are you saying the crap written on the site is real?"

After sending the message, Yi Yun saw that the Dragon Prince was offline.

When the Dragon Prince came back online, Yi Yun immediately closed their chat. Yi Yun knew that the Dragon Prince would definitely bombard him with many words.

He wanted to wait for her to calm down before continuing the conversation with her.

....

In a certain place in the city of Dove, there is an apartment building that appears to be still intact.

Around the apartment building, you can find quite a lot of people of the light tribe.

Because the apartment building was still functioning quite well, it was later used by the people of the light tribe as their place of residence.

Yi Yun, Yi Yun's mother, Elly, and Su Wuyao who had arrived near the apartment immediately walked towards the crowd of light tribe people.

The arrival of the four heroes naturally greatly shocked the light tribe people.

Some started greeting them with happy shouts, while some seemed to be whispering amongst themselves.

Yi Yun and his family who had prepared themselves walked over with friendly smiles as if they were generous aristocrats who would help a group of poor people.

Yi Yun was somewhat unwilling to admit it, but either he, or even his cold mother seemed easy to pull off that act as if they were used to it.

They are already used to doing such actions because as a rich family, they quite often do things like that when they provide assistance to certain groups of society.

Of course, unlike other rich families who did that because they only wanted to get good publicity, the Yi Yun family did it quite sincerely.

No matter how much money Yi Yun's mother shared, she never used that opportunity to publicize herself.

Of course, Yi Yun also did not refer to his mother as a kind or generous individual. Yi Yun knew clearly that his mother was an ambitious and indifferent woman.

Even though his mother helped people without making her actions public, rather than saying that his mother was a kind hearted person, Yi Yun would rather say that she is someone who is responsible.

His mother helped people not because she felt sorry for them, but because she felt responsible as someone who had more wealth.

By helping people who are in need, she can make the conditions of society more conducive which are also good for her and her family.

His mother never said that, but Yi Yun could guess it.

He could only say that his mother was a very smart woman with a vision that was far ahead.
