Chapter 126: The City Lord's Command Medallion (2)
The first player who obtained the command medallion could become the new City Lord of Underworld City. Subsequent players who got their hands on a command medallion would be able to 'swap pointers' with the current City Lord. And, the player that came out on top would become the next City Lord.
The current City Lord of Beiming's Underworld City was a player from Life At First Sight. The command medallion that they had managed to acquire was rumoured to have been looted by Crying Fish.
It was said that back then, Crying Fish intended to give the command medallion to Quiet And Steadfast; thereby winning his favor. After all, she didn't have much interest in becoming a City Lord, so she might as well give it to him instead. At the same time, she could seize the opportunity to get closer to him.
Unfortunately for her, Quiet And Steadfast hadn't appreciated her gesture. Crying Fish was so enraged by this that she gave the command medallion to one of her admirers within the guild. It was strange, since the person she gave the medallion to didn't possess any exceptional talents. However, what made others feel helpless was that no matter how many times they ran Underworld City afterwards, no one was able to obtain another command medallion. As such, that player continued to remain as the City Lord.
After receiving the City Lord's command medallion, Mistress Of Lost Splendor was at a bit of a loss as she looked to her party members. "This… How do you guys think we should split the command medallion?"
The Mara shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm not interested in the City Lord's command medallion, I don't need it."
"I'm not interested in it either, you don't need to worry about me," Adoorable spoke up as well.
Looking at the City Lord's command medallion in her hand, Mistress Of Lost Splendor turned her attention to the Shen siblings and said, "Since the two of you don't want it, I'll give the command medallion to Dawn's Twilight."
"Mm."
"Sure!"
"You're giving it to me just like that? It's a City Lord's medallion you know," Shen Jingchen asked in astonishment.
Although Underworld City couldn't match up to a capital like Jiang City, it was still a city. Once a player became the City Lord, not only would they be able to command the NPCs within the city, shops would have to pay taxes to the City Lord every month too. Being a City Lord was more or less pure profit.
