As they watched the sea clan soldiers known as the Coral Palace Army patrolling and hunting scattered sea beasts in the vicinity, a sudden message from Starshine City was sent to the players.

“Ding- Xhakas, one of the remaining three councilors, has issued a commission to all players in Starshine Islands.

Commission Details: Assist in rebuilding Starshine Islands after the sea beast attack, including reconstructing buildings and facilities on the southern islands, hunting remaining sea beasts, and constructing residential houses and facilities.

Commission Rewards: Generous rewards including regular resources, rare resources, gold coins, weapons and equipment, military recruitment camp cores, various treasures, etc. Rewards are substantial; for example, every contribution point can be exchanged for an equal amount of gold coins.

The top one hundred contributors will be awarded the honorary title and status of ‘Honored Citizen’ and will have access to various special privileges within Starshine Islands.

To accept, please go to the entrance of the Starshine City Hall and look for the staff to register and receive the tasks.”

The accumulated wealth of the Thirteen Council Families over centuries, which could not be transported away, had now become the bait to attract players to participate in the reconstruction of Starshine Islands.

When the casual players heard this news, they were all excited.

Various types of sailboats and even rowing boats all headed towards Starshine City.

Receiving such a generous commission was a first for them.

After just a few days, how did these councilors become so generous?

Oh, right, the Starshine City Council no longer exists now, and the councilors have become someone else’s lackeys? Well, there will no problem then.

On the second floor of the City Hall, Ji Chen watched the players excitedly registering and accepting the commission on the street below, with a hint of a smile on his face.

This opportunity to issue commissions to players was obtained from factors such as Xhakas and other Glory Lords not knowing his player status.

Afterward, Ji Chen took the initiative to search and investigate thoroughly in chat channels and forums.

Perhaps it was because his combat power and army had far exceeded the current player limits, so all the Starshine City players subconsciously assumed that he, wearing a mask, was a legitimate native and didn’t even consider him as a player.

Therefore, upon learning of this strange misunderstanding, he took advantage of it.

Since you all think of me as a native, I’ll go along with it and act like a genuine native. Being a native, it’s only natural for me to assign tasks and commissions to you, right?

As a player himself, Ji Chen fully understood the characteristics, principles, and motivations of players.

In this way, he devised such commissions and rewards.

Generous rewards were the most basic motivation, but what really got them fired up were some bizarre things that natives would find hard to imagine.

For example, the title of “Honored Citizen” was something they could obtain that held special significance, something that regular people could not have. This title satisfied their desire to show off, and that was the most important thing!

Xhakas clearly couldn’t understand these players’ motivations. He looked at the excited players outside, a puzzled expression in his eyes.

“My Lord, are we really entrusting these Glory Lords with so much reconstruction work? Based on my impression, they are somewhat unpredictable, and it might be challenging for them to complete the commission. They might even delay the completion time.”

“Oh, tell me more about your impression of them,” Ji Chen leaned back in his chair and asked.

“My impression…” Xhakas pondered his words for a moment. “Just as I mentioned at the beginning, they are truly unpredictable. Most of them are very short-sighted, only caring about immediate gains, and they are driven by personal profit.

Moreover, it’s like they suddenly dropped from the sky, full of uncertainties.

No one knows what they will do next moment.”

Xhakas recalled a few months ago when these Glory Lords appeared overnight on various islands of Starshine Islands. Their first question upon arriving in Starshine City was always, “Do you have any quests?”

In addition, they could be found wandering the streets and alleys, looking for beggars, helping elderly people cross the street, or even entering residents’ homes and rummaging through their belongings, among other bizarre actions.

These incidents even reached the attention of the Council.

In the end, after arresting dozens of Glory Lords who had broken into residents’ homes and detaining them for a whole week, these antics came to a halt.

Although later, the Council made the decision to “loan” those deserted islands occupied by the Glory Lords to them and expressed a certain level of goodwill.

But honestly, Xhakas still had some contempt for them, and this inherent impression continued to influence him.

They should consider themselves lucky if they didn’t cause trouble, and they actually expect to accomplish something?

However, at this moment, Xhakas suddenly remembered that Ji Chen was also a Glory Lord. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he hastily added.

“Of course, my Lord, you are a unique and different entity from them.”

Ji Chen waved his hand, not paying much attention to the remark. “If you simply see them in that light, it might be a bit short-sighted.contemporary romance

Just wait and see; they will surprise you.”

Xhakas nodded hesitantly, but he didn’t really believe it.

However, what happened next completely changed his perspective.

The players displayed an unexpected level of initiative and efficiency in this endeavor.

Hundreds of Glory Lords, after accepting the commission, immediately brought their troops to Starshine City. They acted like bulldozers, demolishing the slums where residents had already been evacuated, clearing vast areas of leveled ground..
