Survival for All: I can deconstruct projections and synthesize everything.

Before the fourth-tier leader could say anything more, the city lord waved his hand, telling him to shut up.

Lin Xiao thought about it carefully, but he still had concerns.

"I know you won't believe me right now." The city lord of Wood Soul City thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll take out those three fifth-tier items and let you see them first."

"If you think a certain item is suitable for your next move, then take it for now."

"Once the crisis in Wood Soul City is resolved, you can take that item if you want. If you feel it's not suitable for you, you can choose one of the other two!"

It seems that the city lord of Wood Soul City has a very goodwill attitude, and he can even let Lin Xiao take away a fifth-tier item in advance right now.

The words of the Wood Soul City Lord immediately surprised the fourth-tier leaders of the other races.

"City Lord..."

Some of the fourth-tier leaders had barely spoken when the city lord of Wood Soul City waved his hand, stopping them.

Even Lin Xiao couldn't help but glance at the City Lord of Wood Soul City a few times, but the City Lord's expression remained unchanged.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment, then projected the Leaf of Judgment and held it in his hand.

The city lord saw through Lin Xiao's little trick at a glance and also recognized the prop as the Judgment Leaf, which could see through lies.

Upon seeing this, the city lord smiled and then repeated what he had just said.

There was nothing wrong with the Leaf of Judgment in Lin Xiao's hand.

This discovery immediately tipped Lin Xiao's moral compass in favor of the city lord.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of the other racial leaders, Lin Xiao nodded and agreed to the city lord's request.

Upon seeing that Lin Xiao had agreed to this matter, it was quite obvious that the city lord seemed very happy.

Then, with a wave of his hand, three Tier 5 items appeared in mid-air in the hall.

As soon as these three Tier 5 items appeared, all the Tier 4 leaders looked on with envy.

Lin Xiao then began to examine the information of these three items through the Fog System.

[The Thorn Knights' Badge, Tier 5, crafted by the Thorn Knight King, contains the souls of one hundred tier 4 knights from across the Thorn Clan.]

[Using the Thorn Knights Badge summons one hundred Tier 4 Thorn Knights. These 100 summoned Thorn Knights will exist indefinitely unless they die or are actively recalled by the summoner!]

Furthermore, these 100 Thorn Knights will only obey the orders of their badge holders, even if you order them to attack the Thorn Clan!

The first item surprised Lin Xiao. Although this badge could only summon one hundred Thorn Knights, it didn't seem to match the level of a fifth-tier item.

But the most important information about this thing is that it exists permanently!

Moreover, there is the absolute command over the badge holder.

Lin Xiao has already decided that if no other eye-catching props come along, he is prepared to choose this one.

The second item is a thorn armor.

[Thorn Knight Armor, Tier 5: Reduces all incoming damage by 50%, and reflects 50% of the reduced damage back to the attacker.]

[Includes ranged attacks and magical attacks. Curses cannot be reflected.]

This item seemed rather ordinary to Lin Xiao; based on the enemies he had encountered so far, there were almost none that could harm him.

In any case, no matter how much damage reduction this armor provides, it's all negligible in the eyes of someone a level higher in strength.

Wearing this armor will only make you nearly the strongest among those of the same level.

However, with Lin Xiao's current abilities, he can be considered invincible among those of the same level.

Therefore, the Thorn Knight Armor was completely out of Lin Xiao's mind.

After memorizing the armor using his deconstruction talent, Lin Xiao naturally turned his attention to the third fifth-tier item.

It was a green cloak.

[Thorn King's Cloak, Tier 5 (Special): This item is a group buff. Wearing the cloak temporarily elevates those who are absolutely loyal to you to Tier 4 or 5.]

[Currently, the maximum number of people that can be increased is 100!]

"Hmm?" Lin Xiao looked at the cloak and then at the badge.

Judging from the appearance, these two props should be used as a set.

In the end, Lin Xiao decided to choose the cloak.

One hundred fourth-tier Thorn Knights were nothing to Lin Xiao.

It should be noted that Lin Xiao can also assemble a massive team composed entirely of fourth-tier warriors in a matter of minutes.

But the Thorn King's Cloak is different. Since Lin Xiao can only use synthesis to enhance the strength of the creatures he projects, this cloak can better enhance the loyalty of those around Lin Xiao and his own combat power.

Seeing that Lin Xiao had chosen that cloak, the city lord's expression remained unchanged.

I simply put the other two items away again.

"Then, sir survivor, I'll leave Wood Soul City to you!"

After the city lord finished speaking, he sent someone to take Lin Xiao back.

After Lin Xiao was escorted out of the City Lord's Mansion, the main hall inside the mansion erupted in chaos.

Many fourth-tier beings were discussing the matter and urging the city lord to retrieve the items.

The city lord, annoyed by their chatter, slammed his hand on the table, unleashing a powerful aura that filled the hall, abruptly silencing the murmurs.

"You are all so short-sighted!" the city lord angrily scolded them.

"You claim to be descendants of survivors from ten thousand years ago, yet you don't know what survivors represent? Don't you know how many survivors there are in total this time? Don't you know how difficult it is to become number one among so many survivors?!"

"A staggering eight billion survivors! Eight billion! You really didn't know that's such a massive number?"

"To stand out among eight billion survivors, and even become number one on the leaderboard, is no easy feat!"

Upon hearing the city lord's words and the number of survivors who had descended this time, the numerous fourth-tier leaders gasped in shock.

"I'm sure you all have records to back it up. Survivors are inherently a bunch of people who can defy common sense, let alone someone who stands out among eight billion survivors and maintains the top spot for such a long time!"

That's right, it was precisely because Lin Xiao was a survivor, and a survivor at that, that the city lord set his sights on Lin Xiao.

The city lord learned some of his knowledge about Lin Xiao from Senbei.

Lin Xiao was unaware of what had happened at the City Lord's Mansion after he left.

At this moment, he was walking towards the residence he had previously purchased.
