051 New King, New System

"Alright, I'll give you three days to spread the news. After that, there will be a ceremony for you to abdicate and for me to ascend the throne."

"Agreed."

The young king felt relieved rather than reluctant, as if shedding a burden he had carried for years.

"Tomorrow I will immediately have someone deliver the message to the people."

"This is the money promised to you."

Lynch opened the suitcase, took out a few stacks, and threw the remaining 2.5 billion into the king's hands.

"Aren't you afraid I'll change my mind after getting the money?" 

the king asked, surprised at how easily Lynch handed over the cash.

Lynch sheathed his sword and said, "If you do, you'll regret ever being born."

The king shuddered, and in the blink of an eye he found that no one was there, and he was very frightened.

"Could those two be ghosts?"

"No, no, this money is real."

The king sat in silence for a long time before calling his father-in-law, the minister of finance, to discuss future travel plans.

…

Three days later, 

Hundreds of thousands of residents gathered at the enthronement venue. 

The area was packed with people, creating a busy and lively atmosphere.

"Who do you think our new king is? Has anyone seen him?"

"I don't know. I hope he's a stronger leader."

"The last king had such a miserable reign."

"Oh, I heard a rumor. My brother's sister's husband's nephew's father works at the palace"

"They say the new king is like a ghost..."

Since this affects their future, millions of residents across the country are closely watching the enthronement ceremony.

The people of the previous kingdom looked depressed. 

They had no other expectations, just hoping the new king could protect them from being robbed.

"The auspicious time has arrived! Please invite the old and new monarchs to come forward."

With the announcement, gongs and drums erupted, and the atmosphere instantly turned festive.

The young king waited on the fifteen-meter-high platform. 

Lynch, dressed in elegant robes and holding a gemstone scepter symbolizing royal power, walked slowly up the red carpet toward the platform.

Robin, acting as a maid, gently held Lynch's left hand. 

With each step he took, he paused as numerous den-den mushi flashed their pictures.

"I mean, why bother with these uncomfortable clothes?" 

Lynch complained to Robin in a corner away from the crowd's view.

Robin pursed her lips and snickered, "Just bear with it. Who told this to be the tradition of this country since ancient times?"

"Look, the new king is coming out!" the crowd cheered.

"He looks so handsome. I wonder if he has a girlfriend," a girl said dreamily.

"Ha, as if a king would be interested in you," someone replied.

"He looks impressive, much stronger than the previous king." 

Lynch walked down the red carpet for a full 20 minutes.

The king stood next to the throne on the high platform, holding the crown in his hand, and greeted Lynch with his eyes.

"Please take your seat on the throne, new king."

"Now, the old king should place the crown on the new king!"

"Hero, the country will be relying on you from now on," 

The young king said, placing the crown on Lynch with a troubled expression. 

It was clear he had mixed feelings about leaving his country. 

It is impossible to say that he has no feelings for this country at all. 

"Don't worry, I'm here. I'll deal with anyone who causes trouble," Lynch whispered.

The king nodded, then stepped off the high platform and got into the carriage prepared for him. 

He went on to live a happy life with his father-in-law and his family.

"Long live the King! Long live! Long live!"

Hundreds of thousands of people in the audience shouted excitedly.

"Boom!"

A massive explosion erupted in the center of the crowd, instantly killing dozens of people. 

Several fanatics holding bombs shouted loudly:

"I heard a new king has ascended the throne, so I came to congratulate you,"

"Congratulations."

"The congratulations are over. Now, about the protection fee?" 

"Not much. Each of our brothers needs three million, totaling twelve million."

"Give us the money and we'll stay good friends."

"Otherwise, we'll start a killing spree."

"The boss is right!"

Several fanatics chorused together, their threats clear.

"Lynch..." 

Robin said, worried. She hadn't expected the people from Sin Paradise to be so bold. 

Just four of them dared to bring bombs and disrupt the coronation ceremony.

"Just a few pests looking for trouble!" 

Lynch frowned. He hadn't bothered with them until they came to his door. 

His good mood was ruined as he pulled out a thunder gun.

"Go!" 

Lynch threw the thunder gun, and with a loud bang, the four fanatics were instantly electrocuted and turned to ash. 

"From now on, anyone who offends our people will be killed without mercy!" 

Lynch declared loudly.

"So...so strong!"

The citizens were extremely excited to see the new king kill four robbers with one move.

"Long live the King! Long live the King! Long live the King!" 

The cheers were louder than ever before.

At the same time—

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, on completing the mission and becoming the leader of a country within three years.]

[The emperor's belief system is being activated...]

[Activation successful!]

As the system activated, Lynch heard continuous prompts in his mind:

[Faith value +1, Faith value +1, Faith value +1...]

"System, what's going on with this faith value?"

[Ding! Host, the faith value is determined by the citizens.]

[The more citizens there are, the more loyal they will be, and the faster the faith value will increase.]

[Your actions greatly influence the faith value. For example, showing your power as you did earlier will significantly boost the faith value in the coming period.]

[Faith points can be used to draw prizes.]

[Currently, there are two prize pools available: the Bronze Lottery Pool, which costs 100 faith points per draw, and the Naruto Ninja Lottery Pool, which costs 1,000 faith points per draw.]

[Additional prize pools will open after a certain number of draws have been accumulated.]

"Bronze Lottery Pool? Naruto Ninja Lottery Pool?!"

The first one was fine, but the second one made Lynch's heart skip a beat. 

He wondered if he could really become a Naruto ninja.

Is the system so powerful that it can bring items from other worlds? 

Lynch clicked to open the details of the two lottery pools.

[Bronze Lottery Pool:A basic lottery pool. It's inexpensive but has a low chance of getting rare items. Don't expect high-value items from other worlds.]

[Naruto Lottery Pool: Randomly awards an item from the Naruto world.]

"Awesome!"

After reading the introduction, Lynch was left with just two words in his mind. 

[Faith value +1, Faith value +1, Faith value +1...]

The constant chime of increasing faith values was starting to annoy him.
