Start by nurturing a tree?

Lin Ke fell into silence.

Revin’s words were already very clear.

He might have unintentionally or intentionally peered into Lin Ke’s Soul Space and saw Lin Ke’s three bloodlines.

This also served as a reminder for Lin Ke.

Revin did not respect his privacy, but privacy rights are never a concern for the strong.

The strong only consider whether they want to and whether they can.

Revin meant no harm, but what if it was someone with malice?

Furthermore, the Soul Defense Magic Revin mentioned was something Lin Ke indeed hadn’t encountered and needed to learn.

As for the last one...

"Breaking through, huh..." Lin Ke looked at his own hands.

In his heart, he had long wanted to break through, but no matter what his rationality said, his deep subconscious hesitated a little.

His three bloodlines were knowledge, leadership, and luck.

The corresponding three main professions: [Scientist], [Leader], [Inventor].

The [Inventor] profession can only be built up through inventions.

He had invented careers, systems, and items already quite many times, with considerable feedback that equated to about ten levels.

[Leader] needs no further explanation; as long as he remained in power, feedback from Great Wilderness City and Azanen continuously flowed in, totaling twelve levels.

The key was the [Scientist] profession.

Formed by merging [Scholar], [Truth Researcher], [Stargazer], and a series of professions either self-created or purchased.

The highest level indeed was [Scientist].

Moreover, the [Scientist] profession was much like [Scholar], just that its vocational trait was inclined toward "exploration" rather than the legacy-style "learning."

[Scientist] was already at level fourteen, on the verge of breaking through to level fifteen.

But Lin Ke often hesitated.

If he didn’t obtain the law body upon breaking through but instead obtained an elemental body, wouldn’t his potential be greatly weakened?

In this lifetime, he wished to see the peak.

Like the Insomnia Emperor, like Andrew, or... higher!

"Alright." At this time, Revin, who had been waving a whip, stopped, panting after two breaths: "It’s really tiring, I should charge you more ’price’."

As he spoke, Revin walked over, pointed his finger at Lin Ke’s brow.

A gray seed appeared at Lin Ke’s brow.

"Absorb it slowly, or else you’ll be overwhelmed into an idiot." Revin remarked, lightly flicked the long whip, enwrapped himself, and vanished on the spot.

"There’s a result." Lin Ke let out a deep breath, then focused his consciousness on his brow, slowly probing into that gray seed.

Immediately, a myriad of human figures appeared before him.

The entire city’s people!

Really the entire city’s people!

Lin Ke marveled at Revin’s strength and felt the weight on his shoulders grow heavier.

The favor of a Legendary Powerhouse is not easy to repay.

Especially when the person does not wish for Lin Ke to repay, making it even harder.

Currently, Lin Ke couldn’t help much, as it’s difficult for someone not of the same level as Revin’s tier to provide help.

"Klein... Lin Lei... Du Wei..." Lin Ke perused the information Revin gave him one by one.

The information encompassed the entire city’s data, with some red, white, and green dots marked.

Red dots posed a clear threat to Lin Ke, white dots were suspicious, and green dots were harmless.

Fortunately, red dots were few, only a dozen or so, and white dots didn’t exceed fifty.

Which allowed Lin Ke to breathe a sigh of relief.

If it were his previous life, a decent-sized city could host tens of thousands of infiltrators.

Luckily, this life wasn’t infiltrated.

Thus, he began examining these people one by one.

A dozen or so individuals, neither too many nor too few.

Yet, he still needed to pay attention.

After watching for a while, Lin Ke felt entirely relieved.

Among those harboring hostility, a few only wanted to harm Great Wilderness City, while a few had hostility due to an infatuation with Xiangnai, exuding a rival’s animosity.

The suspicious ones were more or less spies or information seekers for others.

Overall, Great Wilderness City’s soft defense and intelligence systems were quite good, with only minor gaps.

It would be nice having Revin run the intelligence system, just imagining it is thrilling.

Yet, thinking of the intelligence system backing him, with Revin standing there, Lin Ke’s mood tensed.

Forget it, it’s unsure who’d truly benefit.

Lin Ke noted down these individuals; eight were in the city hall, not laden with malice but involved in illegal and taboo matters.

They needed to be straightened out!

Lin Ke tapped his foot with the Magma Staff: "Magnalos, gather the followers still in Great Wilderness City in haste, summon everyone in the city hall, and immediately convene in the eighth-floor meeting room!"

Magma Dragon Soul Magnalos appeared and respectfully replied, "Yes." Then went off to summon.

Lin Ke leaned on the staff, pondering for a while before heading down.

...

Under the Great Wilderness Tower.

"Is Lord Lin Ke summoning us?" Lady Heishan hurriedly asked, with the Knicks couple beside her.

"We don’t know the reason." Nick glanced around, seeing other city hall staff also hurrying.

None of the staff was grumbling; even though some had unfinished tasks, they knew Lin Ke’s summoning meant something important.

Especially when they noted even members from the newly formed trading center were present.

It’s something important!

So, one by one, they hurried, nodding to the Knicks and others they encountered.

"Look! That’s Medical Knight Knicks! The founder of the [Doctor] profession! Replacing the [Witch Doctor] profession!"

"Andrew’s Leg! The fearsome Lady Heishan, Scarlet Wilderness’s ruler, the darkness-keeper for the Duke of Lava, the queen of the entire Gula Kingdom’s Underworld!"

"That’s ’Song Queen’ Sophie! By the Financial Goddess above, I love every song of hers!"

"Lamiel!"

"Yale!"

Passersby, seeing Lin Ke’s followers, exclaimed one after another.

On normal days, they wouldn’t get to see so many pillars of Great Wilderness City.

Lin Ke’s followers accompanied him in battles at Faser.

Those three years back then, many people found joy in squeezing before the Memory Stone broadcasts, watching the Noble Council’s content.

"Now that everyone is here, let’s go."

John stood at the Great Wilderness Tower’s base, dressed in a luxurious yet solemn black suit, courteous as ever.

Everyone was present now, over fifty thousand densely crowded under the Great Wilderness Tower.

They would be transported directly from Great Wilderness Plaza to the eighth-floor meeting room, a place Yale must personally lead them to reach. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Then, present your ID cards, we are to see the Duke of Lava!"
