Chapter 291- World's First Prefecture

On the same day, a system notification sounded around the earth.

"World Notification: Congratulations American region player Jake Dawson for becoming the 2nd Marquis ranked lord, awarded the title of Free Lord, awarded reputation points 15 thousand points, the imperial city you are in will give you your specific rewards."

After Ouyang Shuo, the world finally had a second lord that ranked up to Marquis. This meant that the battle for the first prefecture wasn't going to be a solo by Ouyang Shuo.

Shanhai City not upgrading to date gave Jake Dawson and his Free City a chance.

If he didn't care about the degree of completion and upgraded with 2 quests, he could possibly get ahead of Shanhai City and become the ‘World's First Prefecture’.

Ouyang Shuo wasn't sure whether or not Jake Dawson would not care about anything and just go for the glory. After all, during the city grade, he lost the opportunity from a winning position hence he would be more rash and wouldn't want to lose again.

Ouyang Shuo hogging the world’s first position had made the western lords unhappy, and they wanted to regain it and not let Ouyang Shuo's east be a one man show.

If Jake Dawson was able to take the World’s First Prefecture, all their dark clouds would fade away.

In a moment, Ouyang Shuo was conflicted between two choices.

Should he chase for perfection or solidify his position of being the world's first.

Towards this point, the Shanhai Alliance was also split.

Gong Chengshi, Wufu and Songwen all supported keeping the glory, as this could would raise the prestige of the Shanhai Alliance in both China and the world.

Most importantly was that both the world's first town and city were taken by Ouyang Shuo. If he didn't become the first prefecture, rumours and arguments would start.

The world was like this. When you claimed glory for your country, they would worship you and praise you; the moment you lose that honor they would criticize you and drown you.

Song Wen and the others, although their views had a little selfishness in it, they had logic.

Bai Hua, Feng Qiuhuang and Xunlong Dianxue supported completing all the quests as honor was fake. Getting the rewards was what really mattered, and that was the smarter choice.

After all, Shanhai City had already shocked the world and getting another world's first wouldn't make much of a difference.

Both of them debated back and forth, making Ouyang Shuo even more conflicted.

Honestly speaking, Ouyang Shuo wanted to achieve the triple crown. But rationally, he agreed with Bai Hua.

In the last life, he hadn't heard of any lords completing all four quests and achieving a 100% completion rate. Thinking back to the village creation quest at the start, the rewards were amazing; it even had a chance of being a unique reward.

The only thing was that the recruiting of historical people quest had too many uncertainties.

Ouyang Shuo firmly believed that with the specialty and fame of the territory, and being the background of the philosopher debate, they could definitely attract historical people.

The key being time.

Ouyang Shuo made the choice to ignore Jake Dawson and complete his own quest. Just as he was about to give up on the glory, the system pulled another joke on him.
