User Requirement: Twilight City reputation reaches 5000, merit points reaches 1000 and possesses the Twilight City’s Guardian title .
“This… This . ” Seeing the seal in Wang Yu’s hand, Sanguine Warflag was so emotional that he didn’t know what to say .
“Brother Bull, what is the meaning of this?”
Wang Yu replied, “No other meaning! I’m thinking of selling it! Why don’t you offer me a price?”
“You’re really my brother!” Hearing Wang Yu’s reply, Sanguine Warflag was this close to throwing himself at Sanguine Warflag .
Being the administrator of the central district meant that he was the administrator with the greatest authority besides the City Lord himself . He would be able to enjoy the best treatment as well as the privilege to adjust the taxation of the district .
Even though Sanguine Warflag and Captain Don’t Open Fire fought hard with each other to collect so many seals, the combination of those seals were not comparable to this one seal .
“The total amount of gold my guild can come up with at this moment is at most two hundred thousand gold . I think brother Bull should give me a specific price so that I can go and make up the difference . ” Sanguine Warflag felt a little embarrassed by his reply .

Sanguine Warflag was not pretending to be poor because after all, Sanguine Alliance was not formed by a group of rich kids like Void Blade . Having two hundred thousand gold as liquid asset was already the greatest extent of power that Sanguine Warflag could exert .
“Don’t worry about it . Two hundred thousand it is, then,” Wang Yu replied faintly as he threw the seal over to Sanguine Warflag .
“Really? Are you sure?” Sanguine Warflag was still in disbelief as he looked at the seal in his hands .
Sanguine Warflag was not a newbie like Wang Yu . Sanguine Warflag knew the true value of this seal so much better than Wang Yu .
“Just take it with you . ” Wang Yu shook his hand as he smiled and said, “Your Sanguine Alliance is the backbone of Twilight City… In the future, the success of Twilight City will be dependent on you . ”
Sanguine Warflag knew the temper of the people from Quan Zhen Sect . They didn’t like to stand on ceremony with others and didn’t like it when others stand on their ceremony . If they wanted to scam others, they would do it openly . If he continued to argue with these odd tempered fellas, they might change their mind and not sell it at all . Therefore, he hurriedly replied, “Alright! Since brother Bull says so, I shall accept it . I will head over to withdraw the money now . ”
After saying that, Sanguine Warflag also left the City Lord Mansion . The courtyard was only left with Wang Yu, Fearless, One Page Book and the rest of the ladies .
“You guys can hold on to this seal . ” When Sanguine Warflag left, Wang Yu took out another Central Administrative District Seal for One Page Book .

Earlier on, One Page Book and the rest contributed quite significantly . Wang Yu was an honest person who knew the logic of not keeping all the benefits for himself .
“Boss, what do you think?” One Page Book did not receive the seal from Wang Yu as she turned to ask Seeing Snow In The Summer .
Naturally, One Page Book knew the value of this seal . Earlier on, the few of them merely contributed by setting some fire, this plaything was definitely too precious .
Even though Seeing Snow In The Summer was thick-skinned, she was an exceedingly reasonable person . She was fully aware of how she should not be getting a reward if it was not deserved . In reply to Wang Yu’s gift, she smiled and said, “It’s okay! Our guild is not very strong so even with this seal, we might not be able to guard the central district well at all . At that point in time, we might have to sell it so why don’t Brother Bull sell it for money and give us a part of it?”
Seeing Snow In The Summer was right because only the strong could stay in power . This was the same in the game . Once a guild challenges the administrator of the Central District, the victor will be the one in control of the district .
Evidently, the seal was not the only thing required to control a district . They would have to be relatively strong as well .
Because of this logic, small guilds which found administrative seals wouldn’t dare to use it on their own as well . After so much effort to manage their guild, it wouldn’t make sense for them to openly invite a bigger guild to trash them before taking everything away from them .
Therefore, the more valuable the district, the more it would be like a hot potato to smaller guilds . This was also the reason why smaller guilds were dumping the seals at a low price .

Otherwise, how could the authority of a district be worth only a hundred or two hundred thousand gold…
Seeing Snow In The Summer’s guild was called Romance In The Air . One could tell what kind of guild it was from the name itself . Even though they had over five hundred members, there was a majority of female players . Even the majority of the male players were merely there because of their obsessive love for the females in the team . Their fighting capabilities would definitely not be comparable to a big guild like Sanguine Warflag’s Sanguine Alliance .
One must know that competitiveness was part of the game . A big flesh of meat like the Central Administrative District was definitely alluring to many guilds . Without sufficient strength, one could only surrender when others challenge your guild to a guild war .
Even if they could survive the guild war, the later stages of the game would include city war and country wars . Without enough strength and power, it would only be a matter of time before they lose control of their district .
Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun and this is a truth concluded from experiences .
“Alright!” After gaming for such a long time, Wang Yu naturally understood this logic as well . Since Seeing Snow In The Summer mentioned it, Wang Yu could only nod and kept the seal .
The Quan Zhen Sect was the biggest winner from this trial quest and the rewards from the City Lord was also comparatively generous . Besides given a mansion, Wang Yu also obtained the authority to mobilize guards . To be honest, Wang Yu could also do so in the past but he was required to find the guards himself . With this, he could call out any guard anytime he wished .
Everyone knew the strength of a guard and that how heaven-defying they were . Even though Wang Yu’s authority was limited to within the city only, being able to call these guys out whenever he wanted was awe-inspiring enough .
Besides, the Quan Zhen Sect also controlled the entire tax system of Twilight City .
Twilight City contained over four hundred thousand players and the expenditure everyday would be an astronomical figure . Even though the majority of the tax money had to be used to pay the guards of the main city, seizing any opportunity to earn an extra income was what Quan Zhen Sect was best at .
However, the purpose of a City Lord was not simply to make money . It was to serve the commoners and help the citizens resolve problems . With that many NPCs in Twilight City, the number of trivial quests was simply uncountable .
The previous NPC City Lord left the office but didn’t leave the city . Therefore, he could still help the player NPC by giving out trivial quests . As for the player City Lord, he had to hold up the responsibility of protecting the city .
It was never easy being a City Lord . Without mentioning the fact that guilds from the same city would target the throne, guilds from other cities might launch their invasion anytime they wanted . With internal trouble and aggression from outside, it would be very easy for one to lose control of his throne and lose the city .
Of course, the Quan Zhen Sect’s influence in Twilight City was considered quite significant so there wouldn’t be any internal troubles for the time being . As for external aggressions, Twilight City was the only city in the entire game with a player as City Lord . Cities with NPC as City Lord would not initiate attacks on other main cities .
Therefore, the Quan Zhen Sect could still enjoy their reign for now .
Wang Yu was someone who needed someone to take care of his wellbeing in real life . He simply handed out instructions for people to help him settle the internal affairs of the city . He greeted Fearless and the rest before leaving the City Lord Mansion and headed straight to Blacksmith .
