Chapter 148: Chapter 115: The Forum is Shaken, the Taste of a Female Cultivator is So Good

Seeing that Li Chang’an seemed to have actually taken her joke seriously, Su Ruobing was at a loss, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She gestured dismissively and said, “Let’s talk about that later!”

“Recently, we’ve detected that the Dark Energy in the Linjiang Cave is growing increasingly dense. We predict a rare, large-scale Exotic Beast Tide may occur!”

“Li, you’ve barely settled into your territory and you’ve already run into this ’good fortune’. I don’t know if I should call you lucky or unlucky. Remember to reinforce Cangxuan City’s defenses as quickly as possible…”

At this, Su Ruobing seemed to recall something and asked, “Oh, right. You just said you don’t have the Energy to purchase a Particle Beam Cannon? I remember the Reincarnator Association still has a few models that were produced five years ago. If you’re short on funds right now, I can lend you those Particle Cannons!”

She said she would lend them to Li Chang’an, but in reality, Su Ruobing was clearly planning to just give them to him.

It was no joke.

With Li Chang’an’s current Citizen Level and how sought-after he was, the line of people willing to recruit him would stretch from Linjiang to Kyoto, and from Kyoto all the way to Shanghai.

As long as Li Chang’an was willing to stay in Linjiang, even if he did nothing else, his presence alone would be a huge political achievement for Su Ruobing’s administration of Linjiang.

Under these circumstances, as long as it was something within her authority to give, Su Ruobing would do so generously.

However, having returned from his tour of study in the Cyber World, Li Chang’an clearly no longer needed such things. He immediately shook his head and said, “Thank you for the kind offer, Chairman Su, but I’m planning to purchase a batch of raw materials and assemble some city defense equipment myself. If I find myself short on anything, I’ll call you for help then!”

Hearing Li Chang’an’s reply, Su Ruobing was clearly stunned.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but remained speechless for a long moment.

Finally, she just sighed and said, “Although I don’t know why you’ve suddenly had such an outlandish idea, this matter is no joke. Nearly a million people in Cangxuan City depend on you. You absolutely cannot treat the lives of so many ordinary citizens like a game!”

Seeing her serious expression, Li Chang’an couldn’t help but smile. “Chairman Su, you don’t need to worry. Cangxuan City is my territory now, and these ordinary people are my subjects. As their Lord, my interests are aligned with theirs. I want nothing more than for them to live well; how could I possibly bring them harm?”

Hearing Li Chang’an’s clear and logical response, which didn’t sound like he’d developed a mental illness from too many reincarnations, the expression on Su Ruobing’s face softened slightly.

She looked at Hu Xiuyuan behind her and said coolly, “Governor Hu, do you have anything else to add?”

Hu Xiuyuan smiled. “I have nothing more to say. Chang’an is far more outstanding than we imagined. Give him a little time, and he might truly achieve things we wouldn’t even dare to dream of. Don’t you agree, Chairman Su?”

Hearing Hu Xiuyuan’s reminder, Su Ruobing paused, then seemed to have an epiphany.

It was true. In less than three months since becoming a Reincarnator, Li Chang’an had already accomplished goals that many Reincarnators might not achieve in a lifetime.

’Give him a little more time, and who knows how far he’ll go?’

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but give a wry smile. ’It seems the recent, overwhelming workload has narrowed my perspective, making me unable to see the forest for the trees.’

With that thought, she stopped dwelling on it, stood up, and smiled. “In that case, I’ll be leaving now. Li, if you need anything, just call my communicator directly!”

With that, she didn’t linger and quickly left Cangxuan City’s City Lord’s Mansion.

As the Chairman of the Linjiang Reincarnator Association, Su Ruobing was obviously a very busy person. It was only because of the presence of Gu Yizhi, the Vice Chairman of Hua Country’s association from the Gu Family, that she had patiently stayed here for three days.

Otherwise, she would have left long ago.

Seeing Su Ruobing leave, Hu Xiuyuan didn’t stay much longer either.

He stood up, patted Li Chang’an’s shoulder, and said kindly, “Chang’an, Chairman Su and I will do everything in our power to support your growth, so don’t feel too much pressure. Just do what you think is best. Your future is limitless!”

Hu Xiuyuan was a Martial Artist, and a very high-level one at that. Therefore, he was much more capable of sensing Li Chang’an’s abnormality than Su Ruobing, who wasn’t a particularly proficient Mage.

Although he also couldn’t perceive Li Chang’an’s specific level.

But just from Li Chang’an’s every movement, every word, and his long, slow breaths that seemed to stretch on like a stopped clock, Hu Xiuyuan could still vaguely sense Li Chang’an’s current strength.

After all, he had personally met Li Chang’an when he uploaded the “Basic Martial Arts True Understanding 1.0 Version.”

He had even seen the low-rent apartment where Li Chang’an originally lived.

Back then, Li Chang’an had been a complete novice in the Martial Dao, having only just begun.

Therefore, Hu Xiuyuan could sense Li Chang’an’s exact Cultivation from his aura, even from a great distance.

But now, only a few short months later, the aura around Li Chang’an had undergone an earth-shattering transformation. Both his control over his own power and his control over his aura had changed to a degree that was simply astounding.

It was as if he had instantly skipped past the novice stage.

He had grown into an old monster whose depths even he, Hu Xiuyuan, could not fathom.

Not only had he submitted two evolutionary paths that ordinary people could practice, but his own strength also seemed to have risen by several Levels…
