The buff is permanent, and you start the game with a fountain of water.

"The city guards are here!"

Just as Huan Cheng was engrossed in the killing, someone shouted, and the onlookers scattered, making way for him.

A line of fully armed elite guards rushed over.

"Fighting is strictly prohibited in the city! Stop it all!"

The leader shouted, and a mage-like guard behind him waved his staff, casting a large-scale gravity spell that enveloped the entire area.

The Liu family players all collapsed to the ground with a thud, leaving Huan Cheng standing out like a crane among chickens.

The spellcaster looked at Huan Cheng with some surprise. Gravity spell is an indiscriminate area spell. Logically speaking, no one at this stage of supernatural beings should be able to withstand it.

Just now, Huan Cheng did feel a faint pressure on his shoulder, but it had a very minor effect on him, making him move a little slower, but it was far from enough to make him collapse.

"Anyone caught fighting with weapons in the city and challenging the authority of Qingyang City, take them all away!" The guard leader's face was ashen. With a wave of his hand, the guards rushed forward and escorted the surviving players away one by one.

The guards seemed to have collectively gone blind, completely ignoring Huan Cheng.

"And him! He killed so many of us, why aren't we arresting him?" The third young master of the Liu family, the young man who had just instigated the attack, shouted even with his hands bound.

"Shut up!"

The guard in charge of escorting him casually took a whip from his waist and lashed it across Liu Sanshao's face.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, a -1 point of forced damage appeared above Liu Sanshao's head.

The injury was minimal, but he suddenly let out a pig-like scream, his body curled up, tears and snot streaming down his face. It looked like he would probably be lying on the ground by now if he hadn't been escorted by guards.

"Holy crap, they're even using the King of Hell's Whip? This kid's in for a treat!"

Some discerning players, upon witnessing this, immediately burst into gloating laughter.

Hearing this discussion, Huan Cheng's heart stirred, and then a player next to him asked the question that had been bothering him.

"The King of Hell's Whip? What's that?"

"Hey! This is a unique item for NPC guards, specifically designed to target us players. No matter how you attack, it only inflicts a small amount of damage, but the pain felt by the attacked person is forcibly increased to 100%. One lash, and... tsk tsk!"

The player shook his head and sighed, while enjoying watching Liu Sanshao being whipped, seemingly harboring a deep-seated grudge.

"Qingyang City has strict laws; those who violate them will be severely punished!"

The head guard whipped each member of the Liu family once in front of everyone, then looked around at the onlookers, read the script aloud, and then took them away.

These people's crimes can't be solved with just one lash; they'll at least have to spend some time in solitary confinement.

The Liu family members were taken away, leaving Huan Cheng alone on the battlefield, as if he had been forgotten by the world.

The onlookers looked at this outlaw with mixed feelings, their emotions swirling within them.

The Fierce Tiger Guild and the Liu Family are utterly incompetent, and casual players have suffered a lot at their hands. Huan Cheng's actions have helped them vent their anger.

But this lawless outlaw, completely unrestrained by the laws of the main city, was certainly not a source of joy for the crowd.

With his immense strength, if he utilizes this trait properly, he could practically dominate all the players.

Especially for large guilds, unless they build their own cities and stop coming to the NPC's main city, there is no way to counter this tactic.

Ignoring the players' complicated feelings, Huan Cheng smashed the Liu Clan Chamber of Commerce signboard and headed straight for the Hero Hall under the Heroes Guild.

When Huan Cheng arrived at the Hall of Heroes, the shop doors were tightly shut, there was no one in front of the door, and even the signboard had been taken down.

Clearly, the powerful figures have learned from the Liu family's experience and will not dare to confront Huan Cheng head-on again until they find a solution.

Seeing this, Huan Cheng didn't pursue the matter further. He had achieved his goal of establishing his authority today, and for the foreseeable future, no player faction would provoke Gentle Little Shop again.

Turning around with his back to the Hall of Heroes, Huan Cheng looked at the swarming crowd of onlookers, smiled broadly, and said loudly, "Brothers and sisters, my name is Chengfeng. Some of you here may already know me."

"Who would know!" the players thought to themselves, but faced with Huan Cheng, who had just smashed up three players' shops and sent two groups of people to the dark room, they wisely swallowed their words.

"I have always been kind to others and am not one to bully others by relying on my power. It's just that the Fierce Tiger Guild, Liu's Trading Company and others have gone too far in bullying me and have repeatedly sent people to harass my shops, which is why this happened today."

"I will not dwell on the rights and wrongs. Today, I hereby promise that I will not attack unless attacked. You can all rest assured."

"The Fierce Tiger Guild has committed numerous evil deeds; well done, boss!"

"Yes, yes, these are the black sheep of Qingyang City! We support Boss Chengfeng!"

"Boss, I love you!"

"This leader punishes evil and upholds justice, displaying the spirit of ancient chivalrous heroes!"

…………

Upon hearing Huan Cheng's words, the players immediately launched into a chorus of flattery. Regardless of whether it was genuine or not, they made sure to put on a good show first.

Huan Cheng looked at the many players who were desperately promoting the idea, and he knew exactly what was going on.

These people are clearly players from major guilds. Before they find a way to restrain him, they praise him highly and put him under a moral shackle to prevent him from attacking major guilds at will.

Huan Cheng knew perfectly well what was going on, but he was too lazy to bother with it. He just hoped they would be more careful and not run into his trap.

"I own the 'Gentle Little Shop' in the city. It has some nice little trinkets. You can check it out if you're interested."

Finally, Huan Cheng gave Gentle Little Shop a "GG" (a Chinese internet slang term for a failed attempt to decipher something), then said no more, activated the Dimensional Stone, and teleported away in full view of everyone.

This scene shocked everyone, especially the major guilds that were closely monitoring the situation, who raised Huan Cheng's threat level once again.

A few seconds later, Huan Cheng appeared at the Gentle Shop. He had previously set one of the dimensional anchor points in the shop to facilitate the exchange of equipment.

Upon seeing Huan Cheng appear, Banzhan Wenrou's face lit up with joy. She stood up, opened her mouth, but then hesitated, unsure of what to say.

Although she stayed in the shop, she kept a close eye on Huan Cheng's news.

From smashing the Tiger Exchange and massacring the Liu family to his words before the Hall of Heroes, the entire process was broadcast live.

After a moment of silence, Banzhan said gently, "Thank you."

"Why are you being so polite? On the contrary, you've completely broken ties with the Liu family after this battle."

"So be it if we break up. Since my mother passed away, there's nothing about that place that I'm attached to anymore." Banzhan Wenrou shook her head nonchalantly, her expression one of relief.

"Alright!"

Huan Cheng nodded, then opened the trade interface and packaged the guild token, the Shadow Assassin class change scroll, two pieces of silver equipment, and a bunch of high-level bronze equipment for the trade: "Just focus on running our shop. I hope to make Gentle Little Shop the largest merchant guild in the Divine Realm!"

Half a cup of gentle gaze stared at the trading interface, her beautiful eyes wide open, her small mouth big enough to swallow a goose egg!
