Raft Survival: Billionfold Reward System

Chapter 371 - 372: The City Lord's Daughter?

Especially as the City Lord.

Upon hearing Luo Feng's words, the City Lord fell into contemplation, his expression shifting as memories surfaced, tinged with sorrow.

It seemed he was recalling something unpleasant.

He didn't dwell too long and soon spoke with a grave tone: "

Ten years ago, Mist City faced a Demon Siege.

My daughter, Lin Wan'er, was playing outside the city at the time.

She was captured by demons directly.

Demons are intelligent beings.

They knew she was my daughter.

They wanted to exchange her life for the lives of everyone in Mist City.

At that time, I was torn between two impossible choices.

On one hand, the lives of the entire city; on the other, my daughter's life.

Fortunately, my daughter carried a protective charm I had given her.

For a short while, the demons couldn't harm her.

I seized the opportunity to launch an attack on them.

Mist City's combat strength was not weak.

We quickly pushed the demons back, forcing them into retreat.

Just as I was about to rescue my daughter Lin Wan'er,

the demons abruptly took her into the Abyssal Realm.

You probably already know what the environment of the Abyssal Realm is like?

It's no place for humans to live.

Just as demons cannot survive long in the Ocean World.

At that moment, I lost all hope.

Even though I refused to believe my daughter would meet such an end,

as a Level 3 human,

entering the Abyssal Realm, the outcome was predictable.

As time passed,

though I missed my daughter deeply, I gradually came to accept this reality.

Until one day three years ago,

Feng Qingyang brought back this necklace from the Chaotic Demon Sea.

On the back of her right hand, she has a birthmark shaped like a White Crescent.

This is a special White Crescent necklace I crafted specifically for my daughter.

It not only protects her life but is also linked to her life force.

If she is alive, the White Crescent will continuously emit a faint white glow.

If she has died,

the White Crescent will become dull and lifeless.

Unexpectedly, over these past three years,

the White Crescent has periodically emitted white light.

Though I don't know what this signifies,

I still believe my daughter is not dead.

She might be waiting for me somewhere in the Chaotic Demon Sea.

But I cannot venture too far from Mist City now.

I can only send Feng Qingyang to explore the Chaotic Demon Sea periodically.

He is Level 6, yet even he dares not venture too deep into the Chaotic Demon Sea.

Over these three years, there has been no news of my daughter Lin Wan'er.

So, this time, the task I assign you is: if you journey to the Chaotic Demon Sea, take this White Crescent necklace and help me find my daughter.

I can tell you a method to use the White Crescent necklace.

If you are within a certain range of my daughter,

when the White Crescent emits white light again, you can use it to trace her location and whereabouts.

I'm not certain if my daughter truly survives.

As long as you are willing to help me search, even if you don't find her, I will reward you handsomely.

"

"If you can truly bring my daughter back,

I will immediately hand over the position of City Lord to you.

Let me share a secret with you in advance—only the City Lord has the opportunity to enter the Divine Realm.

As for what the Divine Realm specifically is, I cannot say more.

This task has no requirements.

The only condition is that if you fail to bring back my daughter,

this necklace must be returned to me completely intact.

Otherwise, the consequences will be severe.

This is the only thing my daughter left me.

It is also my only hope."

After hearing the City Lord's words, Luo Feng showed a surprised expression.

He never expected such a thing had happened to the City Lord?

Luo Feng was already very familiar with the Abyssal Realm.

For a Level 3 human to enter the Abyssal Realm, it was likely the City Lord's daughter had already...

But now, it seemed there was still a glimmer of hope. Since the City Lord hadn't given up, Luo Feng could take on the task as well.

After all, there was no penalty for failure.

Whether completed or not, rewards could be obtained.

No reason to refuse.

With this in mind, Luo Feng extended his right hand, took the white necklace, and said, "

Don't worry.

Leave this task to me.

"

The City Lord reluctantly shifted his gaze from the White Crescent necklace, let out a long sigh, and said, "

I'll leave it to you.

The shop you mentioned earlier has already been arranged.

If you have time now, you can go take a look.

From now on, if you have any potions, you can sell them directly.

Any items sold in your shop within Mist City will have their taxes go to you.

In other words, your shop is exempt from taxes.

"

Hearing this, Luo Feng smiled slightly with satisfaction—being an official certainly had its perks.

As a Deputy City Lord, various benefits were gradually becoming apparent.

Thinking this, Luo Feng said with a smile, "

Alright, my friend and I will go take a look together.

You can attend to your matters.

I likely won't stay in Mist City for long and will be leaving for a while.

The next time I return will be when I head to the Chaotic Demon Sea."

The City Lord indeed had many matters to handle.

One of the main tasks was processing the Golden Horn Serpent Luo Feng had given him.

After all, a Level 5 Golden Horn Serpent, two meters in diameter and over a hundred meters long, was no small undertaking to process.

Of course, another reason was that Luo Feng had explicitly stated he didn't need them to accompany him.

So, they didn't press the matter further.

With everything that needed to be said already discussed, this lunch came to an end.

The City Lord stood up and said, "Then I won't accompany you further.

All the native residents of Mist City—what you call NPCs—are now aware

that you've become the Deputy City Lord.

You won't encounter any trouble within Mist City.

If you need anything, you can directly speak to the soldiers in Mist City

or contact me.

I plan to process the Golden Horn Serpent

and upgrade the soldiers' combat equipment."

After bidding farewell to the City Lord, Luo Feng left the City Lord's residence with Tang Xuewei and the Merfolk Queen.

First, they headed to Luo Feng's current residence.

He already owned several properties within Mist City.

Moreover, this number was continuously increasing.

Luo Feng possessed quite a number of Ocean Coins, making land hoarding extremely easy for him.

As time progressed,

the value of land within Mist City would only continue to rise.
