Chapter 185 Rules and Choices

"City Lord Li, we admit that you are powerful and we are not your opponents."

One of the middle-aged men couldn't help but said: "But your approach is inevitably a bit arbitrary, right?"

Seeing someone talking, everyone else followed suit and said, "City Lord Li, since you asked us to come here, you must be a reasonable person. We have all been confused until now. I don't know if you can explain the whole story clearly. ?”

"correct."

Another person responded, "City Master Li, at least make it clear what you want us to do. Even if you want to kill us, you have to give us a way to die, right?"

……

After listening to everyone's words, Li Lin nodded and said, "I don't follow the rules, but I follow the rules!"

After a pause, Li Lin continued: "Everyone must abide by my rules!"

The first person who spoke just now asked: "I wonder what the rules are like for City Lord Li?"

"My rules were just stated."

Li Lin's eyes slowly swept across the faces of everyone, "I don't care about what happened in the past, whether you were looking down on human life, or whether you were bullying men and dominating women, I don't care!"

"But from today on, for all the crimes in Wucheng, whether it's petty theft, murder or arson, it all comes down to one word - kill!"

Li Lin's words made everyone gasp. They looked at each other and said: "City Lord Li, we are doing what you said. Everyone wants to run Wucheng well, but those small gangs and small forces do not listen to orders. It’s also difficult for us.”

"If it's difficult, don't do it."

Li Lin said calmly: "Let's change it to someone who can handle it."

Looking at everyone again, Li Lin said: "I am just informing you, not discussing with you."

"If you think there is something wrong with what I said, then say it. I am a very democratic person."

Having said this, a smile appeared on Li Lin's face, "Killing always means killing the whole family. You will not be alone on the road to hell!"

Li Lin's words left everyone speechless, and the atmosphere became dull for a while.

"Which of you agrees?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Lin didn't have much patience and said directly: "Who objects?"

The six people looked at each other, but still no one spoke.

Li Lin directly called the names, "Start from left to right. If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it in the future!"

As soon as these words came out, the 40 leader sitting on the far left, a middle-aged man in his [-]s, finally spoke, "City Master Li, I, Lao Qu, am a real person, and I have lived for so many years."

"I just want to ask you, what do you want to do when you come to Wucheng?"

As he spoke, Qu Hua straightened his waist and his voice was sonorous and powerful, "Purge all our forces and let your Yulongcheng family dominate Wucheng?"

"I just said, let bygones be bygones."

Li Lin said calmly: "Because I didn't come before, and you don't know my rules, Li Lin, so I don't care."

"I don't mean to pretend to be a good person. Killing you is just a matter of one blow to me."

After a pause, Li Lin continued: "If he commits another crime in the future, he will be killed!"

"If one person makes a mistake, the whole family will be punished. Anyone who conceals it and does not retaliate will be guilty of the same crime."

"As for the forces you said you want to eradicate, you don't have to worry."

Looking at Qu Hua, Li Lin continued: "Jade Dragon City is very tolerant. I will not annex you and will even give you many unimaginable benefits."

"Is what you said true?"

Qu Hua asked: "Won't you embarrass us?"

"What is embarrassment?"

Li Lin looked at everyone, "My rules are for everyone. Some of you will definitely break them. It depends on who will be the one who kills the chicken to scare the monkeys!"

Looking at the knife Li Lin put on the table, everyone couldn't help but swallowed, feeling the murderous aura in Li Lin's body, "Gulu——"

"All right."

Li Lin no longer looked at everyone, "Make a choice, agree to cooperate, or become my enemy."

Qu Hua frowned, "City Lord Li, what are the benefits you mentioned?"

"There are many benefits."

Li Lin said: "Do you know why I am so strong?"

A trace of confusion flashed in everyone's eyes, and they shook their heads, "I don't know?"

"Because I have skills!"

Li Lin said: "You can become stronger by practicing this technique!"

Without giving them a chance to speak, Li Lin continued: "If you choose to cooperate with me, you will have a way to get the technique."

"Gong method?"

Everyone's breaths couldn't help but quicken, "What are the exercises to practice?"

"The exercise is called "The Eighteen Movements of the Black Dragon"."

Li Lin explained patiently: "In Jade Dragon City, all formal members can learn the first six moves for free after joining for one year!"

Everyone who was originally excited frowned again, "It will take a year?"

They don't know if this is Li Lin's delaying strategy?

"You don't need to join the City Guards and Sirius Guards under my command."

Li Lin said: "You can also quickly learn the "Eighteen Styles of the Black Dragon" by becoming an adventurer or mercenary of the corresponding level."

"In Jade Dragon City, anyone who secretly learns the "Eighteen Styles of the Black Dragon" without permission, whether he is the teacher or the secret learner, will be punished and his family will be harmed!"

Seeing the thoughtful gleam in everyone's eyes, Li Lin kindly reminded: "So, it's best not to have some bad thoughts."

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Qu Hua asked again: "Do we have to join Jade Dragon City?"

"You may be wrong."

Li Lin explained: "Not everyone is qualified to join Jade Dragon City."

"There are currently close to 600 million people within Yulong City's sphere of influence, but there are less than half of them as official members."

"They are called savages by me. They have no rights or responsibilities in Jade Dragon City. They can only live in the area I have designated."

Holding his breath, Qu Hua asked: "Then you don't know what are the requirements for becoming a formal member of Jade Dragon City?"

"The conditions are simple."

Li Lin smiled and said: "Choose to join or not when registering in the logistics department of Jade Dragon City."

"If you choose not to join, Jade Dragon City will not care about you and you will automatically be classified as a savage."

"But if you choose to join, you need to go through a three-month testing period."

"In these three months, you need to perform a moderate amount of work under the arrangements of the logistics department. If you perform well, you can officially join, and then each person will receive ten acres of land and a house."

"As for you?"

Having said this, Li Lin looked at everyone again, "I will give you a certain quota, and you can join Jade Dragon City directly without having to participate in the trial period."

"After joining Jade Dragon City, it will be much easier for you to obtain the "Eighteen Styles of the Black Dragon"."

After listening to Li Lin's words, everyone looked at each other again, and Qu Hua continued to ask: "Then what do we need to do now?"

"Before the people from Jade Dragon City come, carry out my will completely."

Li Lin said: "All the bandits, robbers, cannibals, and people who violate my rules will be eliminated."

"If you do well, you have merit. I can make the decision and directly give you a part of the quota to practice the "Eighteen Styles of the Black Dragon"."

Qu Hua asked the last question: "What should we do about those ordinary people?" "My rule is to protect those ordinary people."

Li Lin said: "Do you think the probability of them violating my rules is higher, or the probability of you violating my rules is higher?"

Looking at the people with abnormal expressions, Li Lin continued: "As long as you violate my rules, I will kill even the old people who have been following me from the beginning. If you violate my rules, do you think there is a way to survive?"

At first, everyone was a little lucky, but when Li Lin said what he said next, everyone couldn't help but change their expressions.

I saw Li Lin saying: "Don't take any chances, people are doing it, God is watching, Jade Dragon City implements a reward system for reporting."

"Any whistleblower, once confirmed, can obtain half of the other party's wealth and official position."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed, and everyone looked at Li Lin in horror.

This trick is really poisonous!
Once they choose to join Jade Dragon City, they will no longer have anyone they can truly trust.

No one can withstand the temptation of half wealth.

"As the saying goes, a gentleman is magnanimous, but a villain is always concerned."

Li Lin said calmly: "You stand upright and have a clear conscience, so what are you afraid of?"

"I'll join!"

Qu Hua's eyes flashed with respect and he said loudly: "City Lord Li, I agree to join!"

Their [-] wish is to create such an organization without any internal strife, where everyone is united, responsible, and accountable to the outside world.

Unfortunately, they failed.

The previous leader committed suicide in despair after his failure. When he took over the position of leader, he has always been cautious and treading on thin ice.

Although he didn't know whether what Li Lin said was true or false, he finally saw a little hope.

[-] is currently the purest force among all the forces in Fog City.

So when facing Li Lin, everyone else remained silent, but he was fearless. He would only die if he could.

Seeing that Qu Hua had made a decision, a trace of confusion flashed across the faces of the others, but they all agreed one after another.

"Since you agree, I won't say more."

Li Lin said: "It will take about three months for my people to arrive here. After three months, I will reward you with the quota based on your performance."

"Of course, the premise is that you can control yourselves and survive until three months later!"

Qu Hua asked again: "Do our previous rules in Wucheng need to be changed?"

"Your rules don't need to change."

Li Lin shook his head, "The rules you had before were very good, but you were both players and referees. The specific situation was tacitly understood by everyone."

"Now I will be the referee. I will judge who of you is good and who is bad."

Seeing that Li Lin seemed to be easy to talk to and not as violent as imagined, the leader of the government alliance, a middle-aged man in his 50s, couldn't help but ask: "City Lord Li, is your punishment a bit harsh?"

"This is the new century of the federation. The old feudal ideas of sitting together have long ceased. We should be more democratic."

"Pay attention to small punishments and big warnings, treat illnesses and save lives, rather than just giving up treatment and applying one size fits all!"

"After all, when the apocalypse comes, population is also a very important resource."

Looking at the other party, Li Lin sneered on his face, "Based on what you said, I guess you are the chicken!"

His body trembled, Hu Qing's face turned pale, and he said quickly: "I mean what I mean, after all, I have to take the overall situation into consideration."

"The end of the world is coming, and billions of people have died. Do we need these few people for the revival of mankind?"

Li Lin asked back: "If humans really need those trash, I think we should just give up without struggling!"

"Also, don't give me any official talk like taking the overall situation into account."

"If there is another time, I will let you take care of the overall situation!"

Feeling the invisible pressure emanating from Li Lin, Hu Qing's body continued to tremble and he could not speak.

"What else do you want to ask?"

Looking at everyone, Li Lin asked for the last time: "Next time, there won't be such an opportunity as now."

"temporarily unavailable."

Qu Hua shook his head, "We will do what you say."

"Wait a minute, I want to ask a question."

As soon as Qu Hua finished speaking, a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old quickly asked: "City Master Li, the Brotherhood has been out of my control since my father's death. I am just a puppet they pushed out."

After a pause, Xu Wenhao said with grievance in his eyes, "What if they committed a crime?"

Li Lin asked: "Are they coming?"

Xu Wenhao nodded, "Here we come!"

Li Lin said: "Then you call them out and I will handle it!"

Taking a deep breath, Xu Wenhao looked at the Brotherhood Alliance camp and said loudly: "Wang Zhong, Li Qi, Guo Yuxian..."

Seven names were called in a row. The people who heard it felt bad, but they still came out and asked, "Leader?"

"Shh-"

Li Lin drew his sword and swung it, and countless black butterflies swooped up at a speed they couldn't react to, and then turned into ashes.

Li Lin looked at the other party, "You have nothing to say now, right?"

Xu Wenhao stammered: "No... I have nothing to say!"

Seeing Li Lin's miraculous sword skills with one's own eyes and hearing Li Lin's miraculous sword skills are two completely different concepts.

At this moment, they really had no courage to resist.

Li Lin looked at the others, "Which of you can't control your own power?"

Everyone shook their heads quickly, "No!"

"Then go ahead and do it."

Li Lin waved his hand, "I only look at the results, not the process!"

Everyone retreated, leaving only a group of small forces.

They came here not only to see the legend Li Lin, but also to see if there was any chance.

Now that the six major forces have left, they have no reason to stay.

After all, Li Lin has a bad temper and kills people without leaving their bodies intact.

But just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard Li Lin's voice, "It's fate that we are here. You leaders, please come and sit here."

I was a little nervous, but I still came to Li Lin and stood obediently. There were eight people in total.

"I'm giving you a chance now."

Li Lin looked at the seven men and one woman in front of him, "You disbanded your original forces and chose to join me."

"what?"

They were still a little nervous and apprehensive at first, but when they heard this, everyone's eyes lit up.

"I'll give you a chance to change your destiny and join my command!"

Li Lin repeated again, "Bring your men who can carry more than [-] kilograms of stones. After three months, I will directly give you the status of a formal member of Jade Dragon City."
