C138 The Chief Of A Village!

The deluge of information was almost too much to take in, yet everyone watched in silence. This was a momentous occasion—the first Beginner Village in the world to be granted a village chief.

"Heavenly Walker has received the official appointment as Village Chief of Beginner Village 996!"

At last, a brilliant flash of gold cut through the air, and amidst the dazzling light, a scroll-like document was delivered into Chen Guo's hands.

Chen Guo glanced down to read the appointment: "Heavenly Walker is hereby appointed as the Village Chief of Beginner Village 996, effective immediately. Henceforth, all matters of Beginner Village 996 will be at the sole discretion of Heavenly Walker. Other trial challengers may choose to depart from Beginner Village 996 or to join it. Those who leave will be randomly assigned to another Beginner Village, while those who join will come under the jurisdiction of the village chief."

"To become the village chief and bind yourself to the Beginner Village, simply drip blood onto the certificate of appointment. Once bound, you will possess the power to govern the village and the privilege to bestow upon it a name."

The role of village chief, though nominally similar to that of an emperor, required absolute authority. Yet, to expand one's influence, one must strive for self-development.

Then again, even Fiery Shadow held the title of village chief, which goes to show the potential and prestige that comes with the role.

At that moment, all eyes in Beginner Village 996 were fixed on Chen Guo. There was not a single voice of dissent against his becoming the village chief—nor was there anyone who could rightfully contest it.

Chen Guo's ascension to village chief was, by all accounts, the will of the people.

Zhou Tao spoke with gravitas, "Boss Guangcheng, there is no one more deserving than you to lead us as our village chief. Begin, and I am confident you will guide us to ascend among the heavens and conquer countless realms."

"Boss Guangcheng, the time is now. We bow to no one else but you!"

"In our eyes, you are the unparalleled choice for village chief."

Hope and expectation shone in the eyes of every trial challenger.

In a brutal world where survival of the fittest was the law of the land, a formidable leader was essential.

Even if that leader ruled with an iron fist, as long as they could ensure survival and strength, their rule was embraced.

Chen Guo was the embodiment of all their hopes and expectations.

With unmatched strength, he steadfastly claimed the top spot in the battle rankings with a fighting capacity of 1.8 million!

He was resolute and unyielding; those who dared to provoke or challenge him either met their demise or suffered devastating losses.

His intelligence and strategic acumen were extraordinary, conceiving the ingenious tactic of enlisting NPCs and swiftly locating the Gate of Myriad Realms, securing yet another first-place achievement!

Chen Guo was, by all accounts, the ideal village chief, unquestionably.

"Given everyone's enthusiasm, I accept the role of village chief!" Chen Guo declared, nodding. He bit his finger and let a drop of crimson blood fall onto the appointment certificate.

Boom!

Chen Guo sensed an ineffable bond forming with the 996 Beginner Village, as if it had become an extension of his own body, responding to his command.

The sensation was delightful.

The first order of business for Chen Guo was to rename the Beginner Village. The current name, a mere numerical designation, lacked any sense of grandeur and sounded rather odd.

At the very least, it seemed peculiar to the indigenous NPCs; after all, aside from prisoners, who else is named with a string of digits?

Chen Guo accessed the system template, finding the "Village Chief Operation Interface," which included an option to rename the village.

Without a moment's hesitation, he renamed it to Flame Dragon Village.

Instantly, every trial challenger's system in the 996 Beginner Village displayed the prompt, "Beginner Village 996 has been renamed to Flame Dragon Village. Would you like to join Flame Dragon Village?"

With the promising future of Flame Dragon Village clear for all to see, no one was foolish enough to leave. Consequently, everyone unanimously chose "Yes."

"Dao seeker Zhou Tao has chosen to join Flame Dragon Village!"

"Dao seeker Jiang Yan has chosen to join Flame Dragon Village!"

"Dao seeker Bao Er has chosen to join Flame Dragon Village..."

"Trial challenger Wang Gang has chosen to join..."

"Trial challenger..."

As the system notifications rolled in, all trial challengers became members of Flame Dragon Village. Those from Cruel Camp, lacking access to the system, saw no such prompts. They didn't need to make a choice, and besides, they had always believed they were in Flame Dragon Village.

The system broadcast a message that reverberated throughout the realm:

"System Announcement: Amidst a shower of golden lotuses from the heavens and a surge of golden lotuses from the earth, the Village Chief of Beginner Village has emerged. He has renamed the Beginner Village to Flame Dragon Village—a name that stands alone. Let us all extend our congratulations!"

This announcement sent shockwaves through the populace. Within Flame Dragon Village, a wave of cheers erupted.

"Flame Dragon Village stands unrivaled! Boss Guangcheng, the world's number one!"

"What a commanding name, Flame Dragon Village! We are all descendants of the great Yan and the Dragon!"

"We vow to follow Guangcheng Zi to the ends of the earth. No regrets in this life for joining Flame Dragon Village!"

"I swear to follow Guangcheng to my dying breath. No regrets in this life for joining Flame Dragon Village!"

"We pledge our lives to Guangcheng Zi. No regrets in this life for joining Flame Dragon Village!"

The same chant echoed among the jubilant crowd, and it even made its way to the World Channel, inciting envy in many who heard it.

On the World Channel, the Jutrelians conducted themselves with grace and propriety, living up to their reputation as a nation of manners, offering their congratulations.

But the people from other nations couldn't hide their jealousy.

"I knew it had to be Guangcheng Zi who would be the first to establish a village. He's so formidable, it can't just be his own doing. He must be under the protection of some deity!" grumbled the Grierusians.

"It's merely a village, yet they celebrate as if it's the founding of a nation! The Jutrelians are so easily impressed. Building a village is just the start; who knows who will come out on top in the end?" sniped the Plioyans.

"I am a human expert from Setheyso, and I believe that Boss Guangcheng carries our bloodline. His ancestors hail from Setheyso, making Boss Guangcheng one of us. By establishing Flame Dragon Village, it's as if Setheyso itself has laid the foundations!" mused a Setheyso national, a spark of excitement in their voice.

Chen Guo could only shake his head in amusement at such brazen claims. Yet, in a rare move, he decided to address these shameless assertions on the World Channel.

"Get lost!"

"My family line for eighteen generations has zero connection to your Setheyso!"
