Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 714: Town Completion

Shortly after Xu Feng entered the shop, much to the shock and utter disbelief of many who were waiting in the queue, a fellow NPC who was guarding the shop, stepped forward.

Wherever the NPC walked, the others began to make way for them.

After all, there had been incidents in which some players were unruly and attempted to skip the queue. The end result was naturally a quick restraint from the NPC, followed by a quick way to the cityʼs prison for 1 day in real-time.

As the NPC paused their steps in front of a player, the crowd began to gossip and snicker among themselves.

”Oh boy, looks like another troublemaker got caught.”

”Hehe, the last time a troublemaker got 1 day of prison time, the Vanguard Shop issued a warning that the next offender would receive 3 days. That player is fucked!”

”His tag is 095 so shouldnʼt they have known earlier. What an idiot!”

Indeed, the player with the tag 095 was none other than Ghostly Ranger, who was in utter shock and fear by the NPC in front of him.

There were a few beads of sweat dripping down from his forehead. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, ”H-Hello, I didnʼt break any rules.”

While he said that, Ghostly Ranger began to wonder if the player he just took the time to explain was offended by his words.

ʼIt canʼt be that they got mad at me calling them ignorant, right?ʼ He cried inwardly, unwilling to accept the situation where he would get punished for trying to do some good deeds.

”Are you Ghostly Ranger?” The NPC asked coolly.

”Y-Yes, Sir.” Ghostly Ranger replied, not daring to lie.

As everyone thought Ghostly Ranger was about to meet his demise, the NPCʼs next statement stunned them all. ”Good, give me your tag and you may enter.”

”My tag?” Startled, Ghostly Ranger had yet to understand the situation when his tag was taken and practically dragged inside.

Soon after, the NPC also returned to the shop, rendering everyone speechless.

It took them all a few seconds to finally react.

”Holy crap, that player actually skipped the queue?”

”No, it has to be that other player who was conversing with him. Thereʼs no way that the NPC suddenly had a change of heart.”

”Yeah, but who is that player?”

Alas, the moment this question was raised. There was no one responding to it, mainly because they were all occupied in their own space to pay attention.

Meanwhile, within the shop, Ghostly Ranger still found it baffling that he was actually skipping the queue. He was on the first floor and was being guided by a receptionist— a treatment that no other players were receiving.

”Please follow me here to register your membership.”

”Ahh, thank you.” Ghostly Ranger snapped out of his daze and promptly followed the receptionist, unaware that he was being overlooked from the top floor.

”So heʼs the player that you mention has the potential of being a strategist?” Carmen commented, her eyes scanning at Ghostly Ranger who was nervously following the receptionist.

”Mhmm, his analysis and foresight arenʼt bad.” Xu Feng nodded and explained what he had just gone through.

A few minutes later, Carmen became amused. ”If some people paid attention to the guildʼs miracles, then they could easily come up with that conjecture. That canʼt be the only thing that garners your attention.”

Chuckling, Xu Feng merely kept a smile on his face without explaining further.

His action left Carmen pouting, but she knew there was no way she could get the answer to her question when this happened.

”Anyway, you should start preparing.” Xu Feng suggested and returned to the office.

After returning to the office, Xu Feng jotted down a few notes regarding Ghostly Ranger. ʼThe willingness to help others without expecting a return. This trait is rare and if managed properly, it would prove beneficial.ʼ

Such a trait could easily be taken advantage of, and the mere fact that he had no recollection of this name.

Xu Feng was somewhat positive Ghostly Ranger was one of those people who disappeared from the scene or became an extra, in a sense.

”Since he shows potential as a strategist, I might as well nurture him.” He muttered, feeling that it was about time that he started handpicking a selected few to rope into the guild.

The only reason he hadnʼt done so in the beginning, was out of fear that they might be wary or even distance themselves from him for the sudden approach.

Carmen was an exception because he truly met her by coincidence and the same thing happened with Crimson Heart.

He got lucky encountering them both, but ever since, his luck had dwindled.

He hadnʼt met anyone famous or someone he knew was going to be the top rankers. The only people he met were enemies in his past timeline, and he wasnʼt going to take some petty revenge on them.

Aside from the Reaver Guild and those behind them, Xu Feng wouldnʼt bother himself with those who only went against him because circumstances created it.

With everything afresh, unless they happened to cross paths again, he would choose to ignore them and focus on his development and the guild.

Having pondered many things and finished reading the reports from Veronica and Zhao Kai, he received a system prompt.

System: The town located at Twilight Glades has finished construction. Please head over there and confirm it with the relevant administrator.

”The town is finally completed.” A sigh of relief came from Xu Feng. With the completion of the town, it could be said that he had advanced to the next phase of the Divine World— ahead of everyone else.

”Why be an Overlord for an NPC City when you can be an Overlord in your own town?” Xu Feng smirked and couldnʼt wait to see the expression of those who purchased the Overlord status of Skyland City.

”The spies sent by Reaver Guild are eagerly bidding for it, then they might as well cough up a ton to help me solidify my town.”
