In the previous gas that Xiao Buli had played, there was often a Prestige System, as most of them followed the design of World of Warcraft, so the highest tier for creatures was usually worship. However, in those gas, once you reached worship prestige, there weren't many changes; you could just buy so equipnt that required prestige, or things would be slightly cheaper.
Other than that, there wasn't much else.
But this ga would definitely not be like that, and Xiao Buli could tell just from the influence of Qilin Hall in Nine Dragons City. Keep in mind, Qilin Hall's influence in Nine Dragons City was only at the level of respect, and if it reached worship, he guessed he could directly replace Zhang Xiaotian.
However, according to the information he gathered during his two months in Qilin Hall, once you reached respect, it beca very difficult to take on quests from official sources. It was clear from this that if you could push the prestige of a force to worship in this ga, a few pieces of equipnt wouldn't be enough to satisfy things.
With hopeful anticipation, Xiao Buli turned his gaze to the refugees who were looking up at him with adoration, as if they were looking at a savior. The old town chief squeezed out from the crowd and seed sowhat sorrowful as he sighed, "Benefactor, please accept an old man's bow."
This ti, the title had been upgraded from hero to benefactor. Xiao Buli was excited when he heard the old town chief continue.
"I presumptuously hold the position of town chief of Thousand Pines Town. In these chaotic tis, if it were not for your repeated rescues, we would have likely died in the wilderness. Recently, I've felt increasingly weary, and there's one thing I would like to ask of you. I wish to entrust the position of the town chief of Thousand Pines Town to you.
Only a strong person like you can continue to lead the people of Thousand Pines Town forward."
System prompt: Your prestige in Thousand Pines Town has reached worship. A job advancent event has been triggered. Do you accept the position of town chief of Thousand Pines Town?
Job advancent event? Xiao Buli repeated these six words in his heart, savoring their aning. A job was obviously different from an occupation, and an event was not a quest; it seed to be a one-ti occurrence. A player's choice would directly affect the developnt of the storyline. What would happen if he chose not to accept? Would he get other benefits, or would it all be for naught?
Xiao Buli thought for a mont and then decided not to imdiately accept, instead asking, "And what about you, old town chief?"
The old town chief just gave a bitter smile, "My days are numbered. As long as you can shoulder this burden, I can then retire and live out the rest of my life in peace."
Although his words contained the implication of entrusting his legacy, there was also a sense of helplessness and sorrow.
Xiao Buli was about to demur when so voices from the crowd began to chi in, "That's right, benefactor, please beco our town chief!"
The voices of agreent quickly multiplied. It seed like his becoming the town chief was the will of the people. Xiao Buli was dumbfounded, thinking these folks were being a bit too pragmatic, not showing the slightest reluctance to see the old town chief go.
But soon, he noticed that there were a few people in the crowd who seed very disheartened, including the militia captain Zhang Zhixi. In addition to him, the other few NPCs were also significant figures in this group of refugees. They all shared one feature: their nas were almost all light blue, indicating elite status.
In contrast, the ordinary NPCs with white nas showed no particular reaction, only shouting excitedly for Buli to take office.
Xiao Buli looked at the faces that seed to be carved from the sa enthusiastic mold and suddenly felt a strange sense of dissonance, as if the townspeople before him weren't alive but rather a horde of Zombies.
He shook his head to clear the uncomfortable thoughts from his mind, thinking to himself that perhaps these people behaved this way because of the system's rules, and those few whose faces showed sorrow had probably evolved to a certain degree, gaining so level of independent consciousness. That must be why they could express their true thoughts.
But judging by their silence, even they couldn't break free from the system's rules and had to act accordingly. So, what level would one have to reach to no longer be restricted by the system's rules? It seed that question would have to be explored slowly over ti.
Despite feeling a bit sorry for the old town chief, given that the system rules were set this way, he had no choice but to accept.
"Then I shall humbly accept the duty. I promise, as long as I breathe, I will lead everyone in Thousand Pines Town to safety," he accepted graciously.
System prompt: You have gained the title, town chief of Thousand Pines Town. Your prestige has increased by 100 points. Official duties system, territory managent system, and military system have been unlocked.
These three systems appeared out of nowhere on the interface, and Xiao Buli clicked to take a look, imdiately feeling joy once again.
The official duties system was quite straightforward, resembling a pyramid-shaped tech tree. Currently, his position was second to last in the hierarchy, as town chief. Below him were two offices he could fill: one for the militia captain and two for deputy militia captains, and one for the deputy town chief.
For the ti being, the militia captain position was filled by Zhang Zhixi, while the deputy town chief's position was vacant. Xiao Buli thought that the old town chief, after all his contributions to the town and his familiarity with its managent, should take up the role.
He right-clicked on the old town chief's portrait and selected the option to appoint him to an official position.
The old town chief, upon seeing this, didn't refuse and quickly agreed.
