The Healer More Powerful Than A Warrior

The piece of land referred to as being recovered actually refers to the small area that became a safe zone after Lin Ye closed the Anomalous Spatial Rift in the 'Mist Swamp'.

Since the Alternate Space Lin Ye closed is only at Level 30, this area's actual size is merely about the size of one street at most.

Moreover, there are various Spatial Rifts with a base level of 50 to 60 surrounding it, making it unsuitable for settlement even if recovered.

Its only use is perhaps as a forward post for the City Defense Army, where the conditions of the ruins can be immediately detected, and warnings of Alternate Space disturbances can be reported, etc.

Building a residential area there is out of the question.

No one would want to live in such an unbuffered area that could be attacked by monsters at any moment.

Apart from being a base for constructing such a forward post, the few uses of this area include boosting the confidence of local residents.

One day, the lost territory can be fully recovered!

"Great, I'm heading over now."

Lin Ye replied to the message; since he reclaimed the land, according to the rules of the Professional Alliance, he holds ownership of this piece of land.

Of course, most people have no way to develop such an area, so some forces in need of such land will approach, seeking cooperation.

However, very few would be interested in that wasteland where Shan City's ruins are located.

It's just a small offshore settlement in the wilderness;...

It's really not of much use.

Besides Wei Tiangang, likely no one would come looking for him over this matter.

Before long, Lin Ye arrived at the Professional Center.

After giving his name and presenting the black card representing his identity, someone promptly guided Lin Ye to Zhang Ruiqi's office.

Inside Zhang Ruiqi's office, Wei Tiangang was also waiting.

As soon as they saw Lin Ye arrive, they both stood up to greet him.

For such treatment to be extended to a young man like Lin Ye, it can be said that the reception was of the highest standard.

"Lin Ye, my young friend, you've arrived!" Zhang Ruiqi immediately stepped forward to welcome him.

"I didn't expect that after more than a month of not seeing you, you would bring us such a huge surprise!" accompanying Wei Tiangang remarked with deep emotion.

For the City Lord of Shan City, being able to expand the town's area is undoubtedly a major political achievement!

However, the area in Shan City is so exceptional that every past City Lord has had the idea of reclaiming the old city ruins, but nearly none have been able to achieve it.

But for Wei Tiangang, he truly struck it lucky.

To have someone like Lin Ye, this fortunate star!

Even though the area Lin Ye reclaimed is not large, it is enough to build a post.

It seems small, but it is a starting point, and more importantly, a symbol!

A spark can ignite a prairie fire!

Of course, the main thing is the political achievement… that's what excites Wei Tiangang the most.

"Come, let's sit and chat!"

Zhang Ruiqi again invited them, and everyone moved to sit at the tea table.

After some pleasantries, Wei Tiangang finally stated his intention, saying, "My young friend Lin Ye, the reason for contacting you this time is because I want to build a forward post on the land you've reclaimed. As for compensation, you can propose something… and I'll see if it's feasible to fulfill."

For the first time, Wei Tiangang felt so lacking in confidence in his words as the City Lord, especially in front of a young man not yet twenty!

Understandably, with the perspective and level of this young man opposite him, anything compelling to him would probably be somewhat extraordinary.

Naturally, Wei Tiangang lacked confidence.

After all, a single Spatial Bag is worth billions.

Even though he is the City Lord, offering such compensation is indeed a bit much to bear.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye looked at Wei Tiangang's somewhat fawning smile and began to deliberate internally.

To be honest, that piece of offshore land is truly of no use to him.

What would he need such a piece of land for?

To build and rent out buildings? To pursue commerce? To hoard land?

It makes no sense…

Really, the only one who needs this land is Wei Tiangang, the City Lord.

And it's a demand that's more political than practical.

Instead of holding on to such a useless piece of land, it would be better to grant Wei Tiangang a favor, giving him the land directly to build the post.

Just as Lin Ye was about to speak, a memory suddenly flashed through his mind.

Immediately, he said: "City Lord Wei, actually, I do have a request… Do you remember the Unicorn Bull Guild incident over a month ago?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Tiangang raised his eyebrows slightly, displaying a wry smile, and said, "Remember? How could I not; it's deeply ingrained in my memory!"

Because of this incident, he was even ordered to report back to headquarters for debriefing.

In other words, to be reprimanded!

After all, such a large Demon lair existing right under his nose for so many years makes it hard to absolve him of responsibility as the City Lord.

If it weren't for the fact that tracking down Demons is primarily the Demon Hunting Army's responsibility, Wei Tiangang might not have been able to hold onto his position as the City Lord.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so eager to negotiate with Lin Ye for that piece of offshore land to earn some merit.

The aim is to fight for performance and establish some achievements!

"Lin Ye, why did you suddenly bring this up?" Zhang Ruiqi keenly sensed the subtext in Lin Ye's words.

Lin Ye grinned and said, "Actually, I just want to ask City Lord Wei for the estate of Yang Yuanwu, the president of the Unicorn Bull Guild."

"This..."

Wei Tiangang and Zhang Ruiqi exchanged glances, seeing a trace of surprise in each other's eyes.

Clearly, Lin Ye's request did somewhat exceed their expectations.

The Unicorn Bull Guild had been dismantled, and virtually all of its high-ranking officials were executed.

As for all their assets, they were naturally confiscated and put under the City Lord's Mansion of Shan City.

Of course, this is only temporary.

Eventually, after all these assets are processed, they will be auctioned off and converted into funds, incorporated into the City Lord's Mansion finances.

It's also considered a form of recycling.

This naturally includes the estate of Yang Yuanwu, the Demon Chief.

Although this estate covers a large area and is extremely luxurious, its value is predestined to not be very high due to its remote location, and now Lin Ye specifies that he wants this place.

Wei Tiangang was also puzzled and asked, "Are you sure you want this place?"

If Lin Ye wants it, he can easily, in honor of Lin Ye, award him the estate as a reward!

After all, Lin Ye's renown in Shan City is extremely high, and having just made great contributions by reclaiming Shan City's lost land, it's fair to say Lin Ye is currently the hero in the eyes of all Shan City's people.

Awarding him an estate is perfectly proper!

Wei Tiangang found no reason to refuse Lin Ye.

Yet, he was curious about why Lin Ye wanted such an estate?
