Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 716: How Come It’s You

Within Star Falls City, there was a level leaderboard where all players could join in voluntarily to display their levels.

And she was one of those who displayed her level on the recommendation of Xu Feng to act as a deterrent for those who wanted to be hostile to them.

Of course, that kind of deterrent barely did much, considering many players still had the mindset that superior numbers were guaranteed victory.

However, that was no longer the priority now that Carmen was enlightened about Xu Fengʼs reaching level 35.

”Guild Leader, why didnʼt you join the level leaderboard as well?” Carmen pursed her lips and complained. Clearly, she was pouting why she had to reveal her status to be a deterrent when he was obviously the better candidate.

”What kind of Guild Leader reveals their status for others to see?” Xu Feng shrugged in response.

”Besides, the level leaderboard is basically pointless now.” He continued, reminding Carmen to opt out of the leaderboard.

Previously, the leaderboard was important to highlight their guildʼs strength and a way to advertise to other players to join.

That was the main reason why Xu Feng suggested to Carmen to reveal her level. But now that everyone already understood what kind of strength the Vanguard Guild held, there was no longer a need for Carmen to reveal her level.

In fact, now was the best time for Carmen to conceal her status to ensure nobody could tell what her current level was.

”Tsk, then are you really level 35?” Carmen clicked her tongue and quickly opted out of the level leaderboard.

Almost immediately, players who were tasked to spy and gather information in Star Falls City were dumbfounded by Carmenʼs disappearance from the list.

”Crap, Lunar Wraith opted out of the level leaderboard.”

”She was level 35 and already met the requirement to advance to the next zone. The others need to start catching up in levels.”

”Ugh, donʼt tell me the Vanguard Guild will take the lead again this time?”

Chaos erupted in Star Falls City from a simple action by Carmen, but the main culprit herself remained unaware of the damage she had done.

Instead, she began strolling around the streets of the town, only to be utterly disappointed.

”Is this really a completed Town or some ghost Town?” Carmen held a dazed expression when she realized everything was empty.

Sure, there were buildings, but everything inside was hollow with zero furniture or NPC inside. Hell, there wasnʼt even anyone around them.

”And why are these plots empty? Are we going to use them to cultivate some herbs for your herbalism and alchemy?” She then pointed at multiple empty plots, and some of them were at a prime location.

”Why are you acting like that?” Meanwhile, Xu Feng was rather curious about her behavior. Even if she had doubts, she wasnʼt the type to be this expressive, especially not when she had been experienced at numerous events already.

”Oh, I thought you wanted a reaction feed.” Startled, Carmen returned to her usual composure and questioned. ”Didnʼt you want to use my popularity and reaction to entice viewers to migrate to this town?”

”...”

Xu Feng was rendered speechless. Indeed, he had plans to do that, but not until the town was fully operational. Right now, only the construction was completed, but there were more things to do.

Firstly, he needed to establish the Town Hall and hire relevant people and guards. Secondly, he needed to improve the defense of the town.

After all, this was no longer the jurisdiction of the Aetheria Empire, but a jurisdiction of his own. In other words, everything was his problem now starting from the townʼs safety to the townʼs defense, and the townʼs operation.

Everything required money and more money.

”I would like your reaction when I open this town to the public. For now, we have to work hard to get everything working.” Xu Feng explained, informing Carmen how much work they had to do.

And almost immediately, Carmen raised her chin up, acting as if she had been enlightened by something amazing.

She then clasped her hands and exclaimed, ”Ah right, Veronica mentioned the work was too much for her, so she wanted my help. I should return and assist her, lest she might quit the guild from being overworked.”

With that said, she retrieved the Town Token and attempted to click on the Return button, only to be faced with a system prompt.

System: The Town Owner has disabled the Town Token function, so the Return feature could not be used. Please try again later or consult with the Town Owner!

”...”

Stunned, Carmen twitched her brows and slowly turned to Xu Feng, who had an overly friendly smile hanging on his face.

”You canʼt do me dirty like this, Guild Leader,” Carmen said in a coy and pitiful tone.

”Well, blame yourself for fast leveling to 35. Nobody can come here until they reach level 35 anyway, so youʼre destined to be my helper.” Xu Feng put on a cool expression and explained. It wasnʼt that he wanted to be cruel, but he truly had no one else eligible for help.

”No, I donʼt care. You told me I had the freedom to do whatever when you recruited me. This is not the promise I signed up for!” Carmen pouted and even laid her back on the ground, kicking her legs up and down.

”Okay, stop pouting. Youʼre not going to be working this alone.”

”You do not count, Guild Leader.” She held a fierce glare at him.

”Then who counts?” He inquired.

”Anyone but you. And they must also be someone I acknowledge and approve of.” Carmen demanded and flashed a wicked grin. From her knowledge, nobody in the guild was at level 35. As for her fellow Guild Commander, she would just outright ban him if Xu Feng attempted to drag him over.

”I see… then thisʼll work.” Xu Feng smirked and clapped his hands. ”You can come out now.”

Astonished, Carmenʼs eyes widened in disbelief when she noticed a person coming out from the Town Hall.

”How come itʼs you!” Her mouth left agape when she realized who it was.

”Why couldnʼt it be me?” The person who came out of the Town Hall sneered and turned to Xu Feng. ”I hope youʼre not trying to have her judge whether Iʼm qualified or not.

”Haha, of course not, Crimson Heart. Youʼre now the official Engineer and Blacksmith of my Vanguard Guild.” Xu Feng chuckled softly.
