Chapter 33: The Birth of the 'Lin' Clan!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

His gaze swept across every determined gaze, and a sense of pride welled from within.

These were my people.

Mine!

Lin Ye stood on the platform, fists tightly clenched.

A seed sowed within his heart, growing rapidly under these admiring and respectful gazes.

He did not know what would happen in the future, but for now.

He enjoyed this indescribable feeling.

Of course, these complex emotions only flashed through his mind for an instant before they were suppressed by his strong willpower.

As his thoughts went back on track, Lin Ye nodded calmly. "I will take this silence as acknowledgement that no one has any objections. If that's the case, prepare to welcome the transformation of the territory."

At that, he looked at Worker One, who had just levelled up.

"In the underworld, you are lowly peasants without a name, discriminated against by other races. But from today onwards, I hope you can forget about the past. I will bestow the surname of Lin to all native workers who are 100% loyal. From you, your surname will be Lin and your name will be One, and so on!"

"Lin One, I have a name now…"

Worker One, no. It was Lin One now.

He muttered to himself as tears welled up in his eyes. The image of a burly man crying overwhelmed them.

Of course, it wasn't just him.

Almost all of the 100% loyal native workers were fighting back tears.

However, the emotions that they had been suppressing for a long time burst out like a flood.

From the initial silent sobbing, it eventually turned into a collective wail when someone cried out loud.

"Sobs, I have a name. I, Lin Five, finally have a name!"

"Father, your son is no longer just a number who doesn't even deserve a tombstone. My surname is Lin. My name is Lin Eleven!"

"Mother, my name is Lin Seven. Isn't it nice? You must have blessed me with this new life in the heavens. Don't worry. From now on, I will follow the lord and build the most powerful sacred city for him!"

"Grandfather, did you hear that? My name is Lin Nineteen. The neighboring warrior tribe's Gou Sheng can no longer laugh at us for being bastards without names! Our surname is Lin, and we have a name. Next time, we can confidently curse back. Hahaha, this feels great!"

...

Everyone was venting.

Years of grievance, humiliation, anger, and dissatisfaction turned into roars and tears that fell to the ground until everything was calm.

The process was a waste of time but Lin Ye did not interrupt them. He listened intently to each of their hearts' voices.

He always believed that the number in the 100% loyalty was just the beginning.

Only by understanding his citizens' wishes and liberating their grievances could he obtain their true loyalty.

Being nameless and without a surname was a great mental hurdle of the native workers in the underworld. After today, the character 'Lin' would probably be deeply ingrained into the hearts of every native worker. Only when one's own value was reflected would one start to feel a sense of belonging.

What he did not know was that his careless actions would create a terrifying clan for the future generations.

Father of all races, camps where monsters concentrated at, a name synonymous to terror…

In the end, they were collectively known as the Lin Clan!!!

If some Lin were to find out about this, he would definitely shamelessly ask someone to set up a stone tablet and seal a letter. The glorious achievements of the Lin Family's Old Ancestor Lin Ye would spread throughout the entire universe.

Of course, that was all for later.

After venting for about ten minutes, Lin One and the others suddenly quieted down. The scene was engulfed in a pin drop silence.

They looked carefully at the light shield armored soldiers, the blacksmiths, the rangers, the cat-eared chefs…

Finally, they turned to look at Lin Ye on the platform.

"It's nice to meet you Lin One, Lin Two, Lin Three… Lin Hundred and Ninety Seven."

Lin Ye's voice was not loud, but he said it sincerely. He read each person's name tirelessly.

After that, he smiled and said elegantly, "It might be a little awkward to say after 99. If there are any characters that you like, you can add them in. Don't change it after you've confirmed it. A new name will accompany you for the rest of your life and your descendants will be blessed with this name forever."

"Thank you for giving me a name, my Lord! I, Lin One, swear to never change my name. I am willing to serve the Lin family for generations to come!"

Lin One's face was filled with fanaticism and excitement.

Under their boiling fervour, he led his brothers to kneel on the platform. He placed his hands on the ground and performed the highest form of etiquette as they kowtowed to Lin Ye.

197 people knelt in deference.

In such a huge graveyard, especially for Lin Ye, who still had the mindset of a person from Earth, the impact was not small.

Even the faces of Light Priest Gran, Elemental Ranger Adelia, and Cat-eared Chef Nicole lit up.

"My lord, my loyalty has also reached 100%. From today onwards, I'll change my name. I'll be called Adelia Lin. What do you think?" Adelia leaned against the wall on the second floor of the bunker and shouted with a smile.

"What changing her name? It's obvious that she wants to be the lady to our lord. For her to beat around the bush like this, she's too manipulative."

The cat-eared chef Nicole pouted and muttered unhappily.

However, she had underestimated the lethality of her words.

The entire place fell into a deafening silence as everyone stared at her.

Adelia Lin's face flushed red. She shouted, "Ah, my corpse poison is acting up! I'm going to faint!" Then, she ran away in her wooden slippers.

After she left, everyone burst into deafening laughter.

"Everyone is too bored." Lin Ye shook his head and laughed.

He took it as a joke.

Besides, before his parents and sister escaped, he did not dare to enjoy himself.

After the atmosphere became relaxed, Lin Ye started his territory reform plan.

He had already calculated the detailed steps in the virtual sandbox.

In the early stages, the territory would establish two lines of defense.

The first line of defense was at the two thousand meters mark, a defense circle made using wooden fences.

It could effectively defend against zombies and warn the human lords in the dark fog.

The second one was at the five hundred meters mark, made using stone fences.

This line of defense was mainly to save lives.

If anything were to happen, the stone fence could be used as a fortress and be guarded tightly. It would provide him with more time to save himself.

Lin Ye quickly told Lin One his thoughts. Lin Ye patted Lin One's shoulder and said solemnly, "Lin One, this is the recruitment order and the blueprints of the two types of fence. I'll leave the construction of the defense circle to you. If you don't have enough manpower, go to the bunker to recruit native workers. I've added your name to the Civilization Archive. All the resources are yours to use. I only have one condition. In five days, before the corpse tide arrives, the construction must be completed."

"I…" Lin One gasped.

Now that he was an Intermediate Native Worker, he naturally knew how important and complicated the defense project mentioned by the lord was.

For ten days of work to be squeezed into five days, it was an incredibly stressful task.

However, looking at Lin Ye's expectant gaze, Lin One's made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will not let you down!"

He had already made plans to recruit his father's clan's talents.

It was alright for them to work harder since they were family. There was a high chance of completing this task if they operated overnight in shifts.

He just hoped that his dad wouldn't beat him to death when he found out!

"Everything is for the lord!"

Lin One secretly cheered himself on. His face revealed the valiant yet tragic look of a warrior cutting off his wrist.

He puffed up his chest and walked towards the recruitment hall.

Chapter 34: Overall Combat Ability Soars!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Lin One, wait!"

Lin Ye seemed to have thought of something and instructed loudly, "Don't forget to build another 30 Level 1 Warehouses and 10 Level 3 Breeding Fields. The blueprints are all in the bunker. Go and find them yourself."

"!!!"

Lin One had just reached the door of the bunker when he suddenly heard those words. The soles of his feet jellied and he almost died on the spot.

Originally, the 10 working days needed for the construction of the fence defense circle which had to be squeezed into 5 days was already a huge challenge. Now, another 30 warehouses and 30 Level 3 breeding fields had to be constructed.

Although the workload was nothing compared to the defense circle's fence, the breeding field was of a higher level.

At least a few more hours would be wasted.

Furthermore, they were a little short on manpower.

His father's tribe's elites were probably not enough. His father would have to personally take part in the construction of the Level 3 breeding field.

Well, if it wasn't enough, Uncle, Granduncle, Cousin, 9527 from Aunt's house next door, 9394's siblings…

He called all his relatives over. They would share both fortune and misfortune together.

Besides, his lord was the most promising Lord in the world. He provided the best food and shelter. He shouldn't let outsiders take advantage of this.

With that in mind, he waved his hand from afar and said, "My lord, you must give me extras for tonight's meal. I'm taking this beating for official business. You must remember this."

After saying some incoherent nonsense, Lin One generously stepped into the recruitment hall.

"???"

Lin Ye had a look of surprise on his face.

Who would hit you? I'm giving you a chance to make a name for yourself.

Ridiculous!

He couldn't be bothered with them and turned to look at Tru and the others.

While he was telling Lin One about the defense circle.

The upgrade of these 35 people had just ended. 99% of them successfully advanced to Class 2.

Only one of them, a light armored shield soldier with a yellowish face, failed at the end of the upgrade.

"This should be considered a part of the European King's fate, right? This is a special upgrade scroll with a 99% success rate and I can still fail it. No one else has this luck."

Lin Ye looked over with pity.

That look did it and the yellow-faced warrior couldn't hold it in any longer as he bawled.

"My lord, I've let you down. I wasted a precious upgrade scroll!"

He was crying sadly, but before Lin Ye could say anything, Tru's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He went up and gave the soldier a beating as he cursed, "Trash, I told you to train properly, but you didn't listen. The value of that Soldier Upgrade Scroll is enough to buy ten of your lives!"

"The other brothers haven't even gotten a scroll. I really want to beat you to death, you bastard!"

The more he scolded, the more suffocated he felt. Even a few of Tru's personal guards were filled with hatred and joined him in beating up the other guy.

In the underworld, both living supplies and cultivation resources were the most important things.

Things like Body Strengthening Pills, upgrade scrolls, blue tier weapons…

These items were only left for main disciples, even for clans with more than 10,000 people.

For Class 1 attributeless soldiers like them, they did not even have the qualifications to look at those precious things.

But in their lord's territory, they received the same treatment as main disciples of large clans. They were touched by the treatment and hated their teammate for being so disappointing.

"Alright, stop acting."

Lin Ye rolled his eyes. This fellow, Tru, was smart. He seemed to be beating him up fiercely, but in reality, they were just superficial wounds.

Once Gran cast a healing spell, he recovered in a few minutes.

He was clearly protecting his personal guards in secret.

He understood and did not blame him.

They had given him their 100% loyalty anyway. If he really broke him, he would be the one whose heart would ache.

"Lord is wise. I can't hide it from you."

Tru stopped and scratched his head, a goofy smile on his face. In the end, he kicked his own brother in the shin. "Get up, pig."

"Oh-kay."

The defeated shield armored soldier crawled up weakly. His entire body was covered in dust and dirt and he looked extremely miserable.

But he did not wipe it away. His heart was filled with guilt. He lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong and did not dare to look into Lin Ye's eyes.

"It's okay. Failure is the mother of success. Just treat it as a lesson."

Lin Ye smiled and asked, "What's your name?"

"Ron… Ron."

The yellow-faced warrior said with a trembling voice, afraid that Lin Ye would chase him back to the underworld.

"Don't be afraid. I've said it before. Loyalty is number one in my territory. I don't care about a mere upgrade scroll. Since you've offered your loyalty, you're family. We're on the same side. So what if you fail? Take this. If you don't advance, then continue to ask me for it. I've more than enough!"

Lin Ye generously took out a Soldier Upgrade Scroll and placed it firmly in Ron's stiff hands.

"My lord?"

Ron's eyes widened comically, and he felt as if the world had suddenly become unreal.

He had failed his advancement. Instead of blaming him and punishing him, his lord had comforted him and gave him a second soldier upgrade scroll.

"Really, try it if you don't believe me," Lin Ye encouraged.

"Bro, can you hit me again? I'm feeling a little dizzy," Ron cried to Tru.

"I'll satisfy your request." Tru bared his teeth, revealing his yellow teeth. His clay pot-sized fist made cracking sounds as he went up and used several skills, beating Ron until he cried out in pain.

"Stop it, stop it, brother, I'm awake, really…" Ron begged, but Tru and the others ignored him completely and continued to beat him.

In their words, their lord did not blame him, but the brothers did not agree.

A soldier upgrade scroll was equivalent to a few lives. If they did not beat him up, how will he remember? Of course, there were two reasons.

Firstly, it was to teach Ron a lesson. Secondly, it was to show the people below. Otherwise, everyone would use loyalty as a bargaining chip and wantonly waste the lord's resources.

At this rate, even if their lord's wealth was comparable to that of a country, he would not be able to withstand such a waste when the population increased.

Lin Ye understood this and did not stop him.

When the farce was over, Ron was carried down by a couple of close friends.

Even though he looked like he was covered in injuries and had bruises all over his body, this fellow didn't hold a grudge against his brothers and instead heaved a sigh of relief.

His determination to become stronger grew stronger.

When his physique was stronger, he would use this scroll again. He had to succeed in one try. He could not disappoint his lord and brothers.

The soldiers, blacksmiths, rangers, and chefs watching from below the platform were all shaken.

Regardless of whether their lord was putting on a show or not, his magnanimity was enough to convince many people.

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your magnanimity has touched all the blacksmiths. Their loyalty has increased to 75%! Forging speed has increased by 20%!]

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your magnanimity has touched all the rangers. Their loyalty has increased to 80%! Archery skills have increased by 25%!]

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your magnanimity has touched all the Light Armored Shield Soldiers. Their loyalty has increased to 80%! Morale increased by 25%!]

He listened to the system's good news.

Lin Ye was in a good mood. He took out the recruitment order and recruited 1000 Level 1 Attributeless soldiers, 500 Class 1 Rangers, and 500 Class 1 Blacksmiths from the bunker. The remaining 1,000 plus population space was left for Lin One to summon his own native worker clan to help with the construction.

With that, the overall combat ability of the territory soared!

Chapter 35: The Zombie Wave Is Here?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Tru, after dinner, split these 1000 attributeless warriors into teams of 100 people each. Each team will be led by a few Class 2 warriors whose loyalty has reached 100%. After familiarizing yourselves with them, quickly bring them to the barracks for training."

"Follow the training blueprint for the light armored shield soldiers first. I will instruct the armory about the spears and shields."

"You only need to focus on training. Also, the other Class 2 soldiers shouldn't be idle either. Make use of the blueprint for the training of Class 2 Gladiators. If you only have the body of a Class 2 soldier without the skills of one, your strength will be reduced by at least half."

Lin Ye reminded Tru as he handed over the authority of the newly recruited attributeless soldiers to him.

"Don't worry, my lord. All the attributeless soldiers will be able to become Class 1 light armored shield soldiers by tomorrow morning. The few older ones won't have any problems. Even if we have to stay up late, I will train them into Class 2 Gladiators." Tru patted his chest confidently.

Just a joke but if he could still mess things up with all the resources given to him, he would be no different from a pig.

Spit! Wrong, he would be worse than a pig.

"Alright, as long as you're confident."

Lin Ye nodded, and then waved his hand again, speaking secretively in a low voice: "I'll give you older guys a hint. Work hard these two days. Find as many treasure chests and resources as you can, and increase your contribution points. I will help you increase your strength. Within seven days, if anyone can break through to Class 3, I will grant the person a great opportunity."

"A great opportunity!!!" Tru's bell-sized eyes instantly lit up.

For it to be called a great opportunity by the lord, it was definitely something extraordinary.

The curiosity in his heart was itching like mad.

He wanted to ask, but when he saw his lord's half-smile, he suddenly stopped.

This was a taboo for his lord – to question his actions.

He had a vague grasp of Lin Ye's personality. Don't question, don't ask, don't complain.

Just focus on doing your job.

If it was yours, even if you don't fight for it, the lord would find a way to give it to you. But it was a big taboo to take it without permission.

Thinking of this, he pushed down the curiosity and excitement in his heart. He nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, I will not disappoint you!"

With that, Tru turned and stalked toward the recruits.

At this moment, a thousand attributeless soldiers had just teleported over from the bitter underworld.

All of them were like country bumpkins as they looked around and exclaimed from time to time.

"Ah, didn't the chief say that the humans during the early stages were all crotchety? So why is it that I feel that the development of this place isn't any worse than the camps of great clans?"

"Look over there, it's the cat-eared chefs. Are they making delicious food? It smells so good. I want to eat it!"

"That food looks strange. I feel like I've never seen it before. However, since it was food produced by the cat-eared chefs it must be of top quality."

"From the looks of it, the territory we were recruited into is powerful."

….

As they were conversing, Tru raised his rough voice and roared, "All of you, keep quiet! Silence! What are you looking at? I'm talking about all of you! You're just a bunch of ignorant new recruits. Don't be dissatisfied. This great person's name is Tru. I'm the commander of the Class 2 soldiers under the lord. The lord has already given me the authority."

"Don't say that I'm using my authority to suppress you. Everyone has a chance today. If you aren't convinced, come out and duel me. If you defeat me, you will be the new commander of the territory."

As soon as he said this, the crowd exploded. These new recruits were all newborn calves who were not afraid of tigers. They all stepped forward to challenge him.

Tru was not afraid. After knowing his lord's intentions, he wanted to show off in front of the new recruits.

Even the title of commander of the soldiers was something he gave himself.

He could tell that Lin Ye felt assured with his loyalists and did not have any intention of hegemony.

As long as his subordinates were capable, Lin Ye would relinquish his authority.

This was unimaginable in the underworld. To him, it was both an opportunity and a form of training.

Soon, the entire training ground was thrown into chaos.

The group of burly warriors were either competing or wrestling and fights were taking place everywhere.

Lin Ye glanced at the scene, relief in his eyes.

Ignorant fool?

It was something similar but a little different.

This fellow was sometimes as foolish as an ox, but he wasn't stupid.

Just like when he was dealing with Ron, he was full of small tricks.

Sometimes, Lin Ye had seen parts of him comparable to Zhang Fei in the novels about the Warring States.

There was a subtlety in his roughness. He was stupid when he should be, and scheming when needed. That was good.

"I hope you won't disappoint me."

He muttered under his breath and finally looked over to the attentive gazes of the blacksmiths.

"My lord!" Blacksmith One was so excited that he could not sit still.

As a blacksmith, he was a mature and steady person. Every craftsmanship required perfection.

This way, they were able to obtain the number one throne in the highly competitive underworld clans.

But now, that calm heart was roaring.

And all that was caused by this young human lord in front of him.

It was him who fulfilled his lifelong wish and allowed him to advance to a Class 2 blacksmith.

"Take it easy. You seem to have something to say to me." Lin Ye chuckled.

"Yes, I do." Blacksmith One nodded repeatedly and continued, "My lord, after advancing to the Class 2, my name has been unlocked. However, I don't want the surname given to me by the tribe. I, too, wish to join the Lin clan. Please give your permission."

A blacksmith was a notch higher than a native worker. Unless a native worker made great contributions in the underworld, they would never be given a surname.

But for blacksmiths, it was different. It was because they had once made a mistake and were suppressed to become lower class citizens. Only when they reached Class 2 could their original names be restored.

But now, after seeing Lin One and the others' performance, Blacksmith One changed his mind.

"It's a small matter. As long as you're willing." Lin Ye nodded and casually asked, "What was your name in the past?"

"Well…"

Blacksmith One's face flushed red and he hesitated. After a long while, he finally managed to say, "Hammer!"

"…"

Everyone fell silent.

On the high platform, the other Class 2 blacksmiths snickered.

Fortunately, this place was quite a distance away from the main group below the stage. Otherwise, this would have been the darkest day in history for 'Hammer'.

Lin Ye blinked and the smile on his face widened.

He wanted to laugh out loud, but after thinking about it, he held himself back.

"Ahem…"

He coughed lightly and changed the topic. "Regarding your name, you can decide for yourself. Remember, you can't be called Lin Jianguo. Wait, something's not right. You can't have a name with the character 'Jian'. You can also tell others about this. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand."

'Hammer' nodded slowly.

Lin Jianguo? The lord's father?

He felt a lingering fear in his heart. Fortunately, the lord was smart and had told him in advance. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble.

After that, it was the same thing. Lin Ye handed the 500 new blacksmiths to 'Hammer' and let them forge the spears and shields for the new recruits.

Right at this moment, something strange occurred in the distance.

The patrolling teams that were two thousand meters away fled back in panic. All of their faces were pale as they shouted towards Lin Ye.

"My lord, things are not looking good. A zombie wave is coming from the north!"

Chapter 36: Battle the Zombie Wave!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Zombie wave?" Lin Ye raised his eyebrows.

Didn't the Civilization Archive mention that there would only be a zombie wave every seven days?

It was only the second day now. There was no reason for the wave to arrive early.

Was it because I was too strong? Did the system want to reward me with some experience to level up?

Lin Ye narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

The thousands of soldiers in the training grounds stopped their fights.

Pairs of tiger eyes turned to the patrolling soldiers.

What did they just hear?

Zombie wave?

Hammer! It was time to make a name for himself!

They had already obtained information from the older soldiers.

The more enemies they killed, the more contribution points they would get. They would be given upgrade scrolls or high-level equipment.

When they heard this news, the eyes of the thousands of new soldiers lit up and they almost drooled.

If not for the fact that their lord was holding them there, they would have rushed to the front line and killed the invading zombie wave.

On the contrary, the few patrolling soldiers who had escaped were dumbfounded.

They were still instinctively shouting, "It is bad! The zombie… zombie wave…"

The more they shouted, the softer they became.

In the end, they swallowed. The word 'here' seemed to be enticing the thousands of excited eyes.

What was going on?!!

At first, they were really frightened by the zombie wave.

Although their lord was rich, he only recruited a few hundred Class 1 soldiers.

If hundreds of Class 1 soldiers were to clash with the thousands of zombies, even if they won, it was unknown how many lower class soldiers would be sacrificed.

Therefore, on the way back, everyone was solemn and it even wavered their loyalty, wanting to escape back to the underworld.

However, when they entered the inner circle of the territory and met those hungry eyes, their mouths gaped so wide that they almost could stuff eggs into them.

"Gods… this number… is at least 2,000!" Someone was flabbergasted.

"As expected of the lord. In less than half a day, our army of soldiers has increased by several folds. It's simply crazy." Someone said with reverence.

"What are you standing there mutely for? Come here."

Lin Ye's shout startled the few patrolling soldiers.

When they arrived, Lin Ye asked, "What's going on at the front line, why is there a zombie wave?"

"We don't know either. The south, east, and west directions have always been safe since we've cleaned up the area well. The only exception was the north. Perhaps it's because of the Haunted House, but there are too many zombies there. We didn't dare to go over recklessly. However, about ten minutes ago, something strange happened in the north. Before we arrived, we saw a wave of more than a thousand zombies coming from the north. Their target was clear, and they were heading straight for our territory," the leader of the patrol replied truthfully.

"Zombie wave? Just this?" Lin Ye shook his head, a bit disappointed.

However, this was good as well. He had just strengthened his troops and could treat this as training.

"My lord, I'm not trying to make a mountain out of a molehill but I'm afraid it's not that simple."

At this moment, the elegant and easy-going Light Priest Gran walked over and interrupted with a serious expression.

As he showed his presence, he also revealed his other talent to Lin Ye.

"What do you mean," Lin Ye asked calmly.

"The zombie wave is mentioned in the ancient books of every clan. Except for the seven-day killing tribulation, under normal circumstances, even a zombie king with high intelligence will not casually lead its minions to attack. This is a rule set by the gods. Zombies can never cross that line, but there are a few situations where they are no longer restricted by those rules."

"The so-called special circumstances are, for example, humans themselves."

Priest Gran looked straight at Lin Ye and paused for a moment before continuing, "There have been strategies since ancient times to invoke fights between parties while the bystander benefits. Perhaps the lord has offended someone, or that someone wishes to use the zombies to kill the lord. They can use humans to attract the zombies in the north to attack."

After speaking, he lowered his head and ended there.

"You mean the five-man team!" Lin Ye's thoughts raced, and he instantly caught onto a trace of something fishy going on.

However, it was not time to guess now.

Tap-tap-tap…

The sound of footsteps was getting closer.

As far as his eyes could see, he could already vaguely see the silhouette of the zombie wave eight hundred meters away.

The large number of zombies was letting out heavy cackling sounds. Their eyes were bloodshot as they charged towards the camp crazily.

"Tru, Adelia," Lin Ye called out immediately.

"I'm here!" Tru, who was in the crowd, replied loudly.

"I'm ready for your orders!"

On the second floor of the bunker, Adelia leaped and landed in front of him.

"Give the recruits a show. Adelia will command 600 rangers as a cover. Shoot at the wave of zombies from a distance first. After that, Tru and the other Class 2 soldiers will lead the charge. Lead your light armored shield soldiers as the front. Only when the third wave comes, will it be the new recruits' turn."

Lin Ye swept his glance across everyone and said calmly, "Let's get this straight. In terms of equipment, manpower, and level, we should completely crush the zombie wave. If any team has more than five deaths, all contribution points for the week will be wiped off, and living supplies will be reduced to the lowest standard."

As soon as he said that, both the veterans and the new recruits straightened up. Their excitement was instantly swept away.

"I look forward to your performance. Go then, let the corpses of the zombies become your accomplishments!" Lin Ye waved his hand, pointing at the incoming zombie wave.

"Rangers, enter the 300-meter range and rain arrows down on them from afar!"

Adelia's gaze sharpened. Although she was injured and could only shoot three times a day, her dynamic vision was completely unaffected.

Watching as the zombies pressed closer, she raised her fingers. "Ten, nine…. three, two, one."

"Shoot!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

As soon as she finished speaking, more than six hundred arrows tore through the air and fell into the center of the zombie wave like raindrops.

Gurgles!

Blood appeared above the heads of hundreds of zombies.

In an instant, more than forty of them were killed.

After shooting five times in a row, it immediately caused quite a stir among the zombie wave.

There were those which tripped and fell, those which were stepped and trampled on. A gap formed momentarily within the zombie wave.

The ones at the front were only a hundred meters away from the graveyard.

Tru took out his spear and shield. He slammed the shield with the spear in his hand.

"Thud!" A dull sound was heard. While attracting the zombies, it also caught the attention of the light armored shield soldiers.

"Cone-shaped formation, line up!"

He bellowed.

The light armored shield soldiers followed the instructions and quickly arranged themselves into a cone-shaped formation.

At this moment, the zombies in the front row were only 50 meters away. Tru roared, "Charge!"

Whoosh—

300 light armored shield soldiers, with the 25 Class 2 soldiers on the front led by Tru, charged straight into the zombie wave like tyrannical pikes.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As soon as the zombies in the front row touched the shields, the terrifying power instantly crushed those Level 1 zombies like a bulldozer.

Zombies were sent flying one after another. As soon as they landed on the ground, the veterans drew their spears and quickly impaled the zombies through the gaps in their shields.

After a few rounds, 70% of the zombies in the front row had been cleared.

While the fight was in full swing,

In the dense forest 500 meters to the west, dozens of stealthy figures circled behind and reached the back of the Lin Ye's territory.

Chapter 37: Indeed, In Terms Of Cunningness, Scholars Are Still The Winners

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Going back in time. Two hours ago.

When Adelia returned to the graveyard injured, a few rangers in blue windbreakers followed behind her.

They stole a glance at the relatively 'luxurious' camp and silently envied it for a while before secretly returning.

Ten minutes later, a team of fifty people rushed over.

They were the five human lords who had attacked Adelia alongside the rangers who they had recruited.

The leader was a bald man with large tattooed arms. His face was fierce as he stared at the camp.

His pupils constricted, and the greed in his eyes was undisguised. He grinned and said, "Good fellow, your luck is quite good. You've already developed to this scale on the second day of arrival. Your speed is more than ten times faster than the eight of us."

"Brother Qiang, this is troublesome. I think we better run. There's no need to offend the strong just because of a Silver Treasure Chest."

A pale-faced young man behind him groaned inwardly.

If he had known that the other party was so powerful, he would never have dared to ambush him with Brother Qiang.

"Run my a*! People have to die first. In this day and age, those who starve to death are cowards and those who are brave will get a full tummy! Little Qi, it's not that I'm looking down on you. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is your weakness. If you're not ruthless, whether it's on Earth or the other world, you're useless."

The tattooed man revealed a look of disdain. Then, he turned to look in the direction of Lin Ye's territory. Especially when he saw the Level 5 bunker, the greed in his eyes intensified.

He licked his dry lips as his eyes flickered. "This bastard must have discovered some unknown loophole. As long as we can get him, we will definitely be able to gain some benefits. We might even be able to play around in this world."

"Brothers, are you interested in fighting alongside me?"

His gaze swept across the other four.

Brother Qiang was disappointed that no one dared to look him in the eye. They seemed to be frightened by the powerful lord in front of them.

"Brother Qiang, it's not that we don't want to give you face, but looking at the scale, this person has at least 700 to 800 soldiers. For us, even if we add the Boss's team, we'll only be 90 people at most. We can't even compare to a fraction of that. There's no way to fight this battle." Someone objected.

"Bullshit! A bunch of cowards! If you're a coward, just admit it, stop making excuses!" The tattooed man cursed angrily.

His gaze was fixed on a refined student wearing glasses at the very edge.

He was young and looked like he was only 18 or 19 years old. If he was on Earth, he would be a university freshman.

"Glasses, you're smart. Think of a solution for Brother Qiang. Once it's done, I promise you that I'll protect the girl in the camp. Even if my brother wants her, I'll help you hold him back," the tattooed man said with a burning gaze.

"You will keep your word?" The scholar looked up. The lenses reflected a different color in the setting sun.

"People call me Liu Huaqiang in this world. My word definitely counts." The tattooed man patted his chest and guaranteed.

The scholar mused. After a moment, he looked up slowly. "It's not like there's no way…"

"Quick, tell me, you are making me anxious." The tattooed man was overjoyed and urged.

"On the surface, we have no hope of defeating the other party. The only chance we can take is with the zombies."

The student stood up and looked to the north. "We've sent people to investigate that area. The number of zombies there is definitely the largest in the surrounding area. There are probably several Haunted Houses there, and they are considered a sort of territory for zombies. I suspect that the zombie wave seven days later will most likely come from there."

"You mean, you want to make use of the zombies to deal with this guy?" The tattooed man raised his brows and hesitated.

They had done something similar before with a small number of zombies.

For example, using the Venom Zombie to plot against Adelia.

But even he had lingering fears about the zombie wave in the north.

Seemingly sensing the man's fear, the student continued, "If you don't want to take risks, how will you gain anything? Only by using your life can you close the gap between us and the man on the other side. I have a plan here. Everyone, listen to it first. If you think it's feasible, we can give it a try."

"Tell us about it first," Little Qi said solemnly.

Immediately, the five of them gathered together. The student said the plans he had, making everyone's blood boil with excitement as they listened on.

As long as they followed the student's instructions, there was a high chance of success.

"Indeed, in terms of schemes, only scholars like you can come up with such despicable tricks." The tattooed man laughed and looked at the scholar with an even more admiring gaze. "Glasses, follow me in the future. As long as I have food to eat, I will definitely not let my brothers starve."

"Sure," the scholar replied with a fake smile.

"Then, I'll leave this matter to you?" The tattooed man probed.

After all, going to the north to attract the aggression of the zombies was a life-threatening mission. The other four were cunning. They would not agree even if they were beaten to death.

"Sure. Everyone, wait for my news. When the zombie wave comes, take the opportunity to kill the lord and occupy his territory. As for those rangers and soldiers, don't worry about them. Their lord only has a boss-subordinate relationship with them. If he is dead, what can they do to us?"

"I'll wish for you guys' success. I'm going."

With that, the scholar adjusted his glasses, turned around, and led his eight rangers and two level 1 attributeless soldiers into the forest.

Half an hour later, in a huge graveyard four kilometers away.

Since they were in a party mode, their basic graveyard was much larger than the individual mode's.

The scholar ran all the way back with his subordinates, panting from exhaustion.

"The Fifth Lord is back!"

Along the way, native workers and rangers guarding the territory greeted them warmly.

"Boss, come out quickly. It's a joyous occasion." The scholar nodded his head and shouted loudly with a face full of smiles.

Moments later, two figures walked out of the camp.

It was a man and a woman. The man was not tall and was in his forties.

He was bald and had large tattooed arms, looking similar to Brother Qiang.

Comparatively, the woman was young and pretty, but there were a few palm prints on her face, as if she had been slapped.

A trace of coldness flashed across the scholar's eyes, but he hid it well.

"Glasses, what's the good news? Where's Qiangzi and the rest?" The bald boss didn't suspect anything and asked happily.

"Today, we caught a big fish with a blue-tier weapon. We used a little trick and killed him. Brother Qiang brought some people to occupy that guy's territory. You know me. My combat power is trash. I pant just from running. Brother Qiang asked me to bring some treasure back to show our respect to you."

As he spoke, the scholar smiled and took out a blue tier dagger from his Civilization Archive. He handed it to the bald boss.

"Aish, not bad. This is the first blue tier weapon of this camp."

The bald man was overjoyed. He took the dagger and examined it, his eyes full of smiles.

However, in the next moment, a cold glint flashed across his eyes and his vision was instantly dyed red.

Chapter 38: Vicious Person: Chu Xiu!

"Hehe—"

"You!"

The bald boss clutched his neck as his eyes widened in anger. He could not believe that he would die at the hands of a weak scholar.

Thump!

The body fell to the ground, dead.

"Chu Xiu, you, you killed someone!"

The pretty girl's face turned pale. She shouted in panic, "We… we have to run. When Boss Bai's friends come back, you'll die too. Get out of here. Hurry!"

"Don't be afraid, Sister Bao'er. Go and organize the living supplies."

Chu Xiu wiped the bloodied short dagger on the bald boss's corpse and retrieved the blue dagger.

He looked up at the pretty girl, his pale cheeks forcing a smile. "Trust me," he said with a smile. "I'll take care of it."

"Then, please be careful."

Zhang Bao'er glanced at him timidly before jogging back to her graveyard.

After the girl left, the rangers who had stayed behind in the graveyard sensed the commotion and rushed over.

When they saw the body of the bald boss and the expressionless Chu Xiu, it was too obvious.

The human lords were having an internal strife!

"Fifth Lord, what are you doing!" Someone asked boldly.

Chu Xiu didn't say anything but secretly made a gesture.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The rangers who belonged to Chu Xiu outside the graveyard retaliated and quickly killed the rangers beside the bald boss's corpse.

"My lord, I've accomplished my mission."

A moment later, a tall male ranger walked over and said while cupping his fists.

"Chu Yang, according to the plan, we will divide the corpses of these people. Some of them will be left on the way to the powerful lord, while the rest will be left for you to go to the haunted house in the north to attract the zombie wave. Are you confident that you can do it?" Chu Xiu asked seriously.

"Yes I can, but I might die." Chu Yang's heart wavered slightly.

Although his name was given to him by his lord, he was still afraid to die.

Seemingly reading his thoughts, Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Don't worry. When you fulfill the mission requirements, I will remove the recruitment status. At that time, you will be a free man and can escape to the underworld via the teleportation array."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang hesitated for a moment. However, in order to repay the Lord for giving him a name, he still agreed.

"Very good, I didn't misjudge you. Go now. These corpses have just died, and the smell of blood is strong. As long as you lead the zombie wave to a thousand meter range, they will automatically attack that human lord."

"After you are done, shoot an arrow in Brother Qiang's direction. I will immediately remove the recruitment status."

"In that case, my lord, we will never meet again!"

Chu Yang bowed deeply to him.

Removing the recruitment meant that they would never have the opportunity to get recruited for a second time in their lives.

This was the rule of the underworld. No underworld citizens could violate it.

Hence, after this separation, they would never meet again.

After completing the last bow to his lord, Chu Yang got up and brought his subordinates to quickly move the ten corpses out of the graveyard.

Seeing his original subordinate leave, Chu Xiu didn't stay idle.

He looted all the resources in Boss Bai's bunker and recruited another 32 rangers.

"Chu Xiu, I'm done packing—"

At this moment, Zhang Bao'er packed up her living supplies and rushed out.

"Sister Bao'er, bring 20 rangers and wait for me at the river 1000 meters away," Chu Xiu said.

"What about you?" Zhang Bao'er asked.

"I still have one last problem to settle. Don't worry, as long as Sister Bao'er is alive, I will never die."

A bright smile appeared on Chu Xiu's calm face, just like when they first met.

With that, he didn't care if Zhang Bao'er agreed or not and brought the remaining 12 rangers back to where Brother Qiang and the others were.

"Why did it take so long to finish?"

As soon as they met, Brother Qiang raised his eyebrows in displeasure.

It had been an hour and a half since Chu Xiu left. He was about to fly into a rage because of the wait.

"The bait is a little far away, but it's all done. You don't have to worry when you leave things up to me." Chu Xiu said seriously.

"You are so secretive. Where did you get the body from? There wouldn't be any problems with it, right?" Brother Qiang asked worriedly.

"Absolutely not. The bodies are all fresh out, and I've done it myself. The victim was a human lord a thousand meters away from us. I found him this morning when I was out looking for supplies. No background history. Just one man. Including his subordinates, there were exactly ten bodies, enough to attract the attention of the zombie wave."

"That's good." Brother Qiang heaved a sigh of relief.

For the past hour or so, his nerves had been tense.

Now that he was risking his life, he could not afford to be careless.

Initially, he was worried that a small sized scholar like Chu Xiu would be soft-hearted when he had to kill someone. If he couldn't do it, he would have to go personally.

He didn't expect Chu Xiu to be such a ruthless person. After killing someone, he was still able to keep a straight face. He had underestimated him in the past.

Of course, with his intelligence, he quickly forgot about this.

After all, to him, pillaging the super-rich lord was the most important thing.

"If we succeed in this raid, we will be taking off. If my brother knew, he would laugh even in his dreams."

Brother Qiang chuckled and looked towards the north.

As expected, Chu Xiu's subordinates had already started moving. There was a commotion coming from the Haunted House to their north, and he felt like he was one step closer to success.

"Of course, Boss Bai will be proud of you."

Chu Xiu complimented him plainly, but his eyes under his glasses were extremely cold.

Swish!

Ten minutes later, an arrow pierced through the air and landed in their direction.

"They found us?" Brother Qiang and the rest were shocked.

"No, that's my subordinate, Chu Yang. He succeeded and told us to go around the back."

Chu Xiu's eyes glinted as he explained.

As for the original plan to cancel the recruitment order, he chose to remain silent.

To him, be it people from Earth or the underworld, he only believed in dead people.

And the reason why he made such a crazy choice was because there were voices in his head constantly warning him.

He had to quickly leave this place. The owner of this territory was extremely dangerous.

If they angered him, it would definitely be a fight to death.

For the sake of Sister Bao'er and himself, he could only think of ways to silence Chu Yang.

A moment later, there was a faint cry of anger and grief from afar, but very quickly, it was concealed by the zombie wave's growls.

"Let's go. The zombie wave is coming. Let's go around the back and wait for his soldiers to leave for the fight. That will be our chance." Chu Xiu adjusted his glasses and said calmly.

"Hahaha, good fellow. You're really something. I'll remember your meritorious service this time." Brother Qiang laughed.

During this time, he had discovered quite a few good things within Lin Ye's territory, and with his greed, he wished to take everything for himself.

"Let's go! Find a good place and prepare to fight!"

Chapter 39: The Test To Awaken

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On the other side, in the territory.

Tru was still leading the new recruits to massacre the zombies happily.

Meanwhile, Lin Ye and the others were standing on the high platform of the territory.

They looked on at the fight with interest, gossiping about who was killing more and who was fighting more bravely.

"My lord, I've already thought it through. From now on, I'll be called Lin Dachui. I'll have your surname, my original name, and it'll match my profession perfectly."

"Lin Dachui. When I become famous and forge weapons in the future, I'll take 80 zombie souls for each hammer. We'll be rich!"

As they chatted, chief blacksmith Lin Dachui was unwilling to fall behind. He felt that he had thought of a groundbreaking name and proudly reported it to his lord.

"Look at you being proud about that."

Lin Ye rolled his eyes and was too lazy to even comment. What was there to be proud of with such a lousy name?

He was the only one who liked it.

Looking at the ignorant Lin Dachui, he continued, "You've just advanced to Class 2. If you have that ambition, focus on learning Class 2 forging techniques. It just so happens that a blueprint for a blue tier black iron longsword dropped not long ago. Use that to practice. If you break it, throw it to the new recruits for them to play with it."

"Practice well. I might as well let you in a little. In a few days, I want to build a full platoon of Class 3 wolf cavalry soldiers."

"When the time comes, if you screw up in terms of your skill, don't blame me for recruiting other blacksmiths."

The bunker had reached Level 5. As long as the treasure chest dropped a Class 2 or 3 recruitment order, he could easily recruit higher-class workers.

Thus, these words weren't meant to intimidate Lin Dachui, but to remind him.

"Class 3 Wolf Cavalry Soldiers!"

Upon hearing that, Lin Dachui immediately put away his distracting thoughts, his eyes nearly glowing.

He chuckled and said, "Lord, you should have said so earlier. I'm good at forging equipment. Moreover, Class 2 and 3 blacksmiths from the underworld are all arrogant and not loyal."

"They only work three to four hours a day. Any more and they will lose their loyalty to you. In the end, not only will you have to pay their recruitment fee, they will even escape back to the underworld before the work is completed. This is a common routine for them. Unlike them, working overtime every day for us is as easy as playing."

"Alright, stop joking around. Bring the 500 new blacksmiths to familiarize themselves with the environment. Prepare the 1,000 sets of equipment for the light armored shield soldiers before noon tomorrow before you boast to me."

Lin Ye waved his hand. He couldn't be bothered to argue with Lin Dachui. If he had the time, he might as well watch Tru and the others kill zombies.

A moment later, the next zombie wave surged into the battlefield and clashed with thousands of new recruits, the field thrown in chaos.

Lin Ye's mouth was dry from watching. He turned his head to look at the kitchen on the side of the bunker and shouted, "Nicole, is the steak I want ready? Give me another cup of the '82' cola which I dropped during the day and use a glass to hold it."

"Oh, sure," Nicole replied.

As a matter of fact, she had already prepared the lord's meal, but she was a little apprehensive.

After all, she was only a beginner chef. She could handle simple instant noodles with no problem.

However, food like steak from the other world was not something she could handle easily.

In the end, she could only try cooking it according to her own talent and didn't know if it tasted good.

Soon, the female chef walked onto the platform with a wooden plate and a glass of cola.

The other chefs were tactful. They even carried the dining table that Tru had made to please Lin Ye and placed it in front of him for him to eat.

"My lord, this is the steak and cola you wanted."

Nicole carefully placed it on the dining table and said nervously, "I hope it suits your taste."

Lin Ye nodded. As he watched the light armored shield soldiers beat up the zombies, he leisurely used his blue tier weapon, New Moon Blade, to cut the steak and eat it.

"The taste is a little off, and the texture isn't good either." Lin Ye frowned. Compared to the delicious breakfast toast, the dinner steak was a little unsatisfactory.

This standard was about the same as him.

However, thinking that this was a different world in which condiments were far inferior to Earth, he did not mind.

He casually tossed Nicole a chef upgrade scroll.

"For… Advanced?!" Before Nicole could react, the eyes of the Priest Gran turned red.

He was a Class 3 Light Priest and was too familiar with the power of Class 3.

The golden ripples emitted from the upgrade scroll were definitely for Class 3.

Hearing that, Nicole was shocked.

She looked at Lin Ye in disbelief. She was so excited that she became incoherent. "My lord, I… I!"

"If I give it to you, accept it. My quality of life must not decrease. In the future, do your best. I won't listen to explanations." Lin Ye said with a straight face.

"Yes, my lord. Next time, I will definitely make the most delicious steak." Nicole accepted the upgrade scroll and promised.

Lin Ye responded symbolically.

After some thought, he decided to do a test.

He took out his Civilization Archive, took a photo of the steak and cola, and asked Priest Gran to take a full-body photo of him.

The backdrop happened to be the battle between the zombie wave and Tru and the others, while he looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and enjoyed the delicious food.

He clicked on his family channel and sent it!

"???"

Moments later, someone @ him in the channel.

There was no need to guess. It was his younger sister, Lin Wei.

Lin Wei: "Brother, did you discover a loophole? The development of your territory is too fast. If you did, tell me. I'm your biological sister. You can't leave me in the lurch. Sobs, these smelly zombies are bullying me for having too few subordinates. I want to take off too. I want to fight the zombies with an overwhelming force too. Also, I want steak and red wine. Tell me quickly, brother ~"

Lin Ye thought about it and said truthfully, "There is indeed a loophole."

When he said that, his parents who were watching from the side could no longer remain calm.

Lin Jianguo hurriedly said, "Beibei, is what you said true?"

His mother, Zhang Cuiling, also interjected, "Don't leave us hanging. Hurry up and tell us. There's nothing we can't tell our family."

Lin Ye pondered. He didn't dare to say it before.

He was afraid that his family members would be disappointed if he told them that the system had only given him the talent.

But Zhang Liang's matter gave him hope.

Other than him, other people seemed to have a chance, but the trigger conditions were unknown.

For him, it was due to the intense fluctuations in his consciousness. Zhang Liang's was probably due to his mental state exploding. It was more or less related to the mind.

After voicing his suspicions, the channel fell into a short silence.

Lin Wei: "Fluctuations in willpower? Ah, this thing is so vague and there's no special measuring device. Who knows how to trigger it?"

Lin Ye said, "You can try to train yourself. For example, stare at a certain spot without moving your eyes. After staring for a long time, you can train your willpower or try practicing your martial arts. This place is different from Earth. Everyone's way of triggering their talent is definitely different. You can try other methods."

Lin Wei: "I see, I'll give it a try then. I'll practice Eight Trigram Palms a hundred times today. What if it really awakens?"

With that, her sister ran off in a hurry.

Lin Ye shook his head.. He was still planning to chat with his mother and the others when he realized that Zhang Liang, who was tied up not too far away, was struggling desperately.

Chapter 40: Complete Annihilation!

"Why are you going crazy again!" Lin Ye frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

He remembered what Adelia said.

This kid's talent was diverse. Not only did he have treasure hunting characteristics, but he also seemed to have a foreseeing one.

At the thought of this, he gestured to the guard beside him and said, "Go and remove his gag."

The soldier had just removed the gag in Zhang Liang's mouth when he heard him shout anxiously, "Lin Ye, run! It's dangerous here, someone wants to kill you!"

As soon as these words left his mouth, quite a few people laughed loudly.

What a joke. This was the base camp of Lin Ye, a large camp with a population of 4,000.

Not to mention the small zombie wave that was about to be annihilated by Tru, even if they doubled it, the zombie wave still wouldn't be able to conquer this territory.

Therefore, these words were utter nonsense.

However, while everyone was laughing, Brother Qiang, Chu Xiu, and the rest who were hiding in the corpse pit 90 meters away from the grave were scared stiff.

Their faces were pale. They were afraid that if Tru and the others returned to defend, all their efforts would be wasted.

Fortunately, the people in the territory seemed to ignore Zhang Liang. Even Lin Ye was hesitating.

Although he was unwilling to believe it, it was better to be careful about his mysterious prediction talent.

In addition to the Purple Star Armor he was wearing, he subconsciously opened the weapon page from the Civilization Archive and was ready to take out the purple tier weapon MP9 for self-defense.

Not far away, inside the corpse pit.

Chu Xiu said with a serious expression, "Brother Qiang, we can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, the zombie wave will be gone. We have to rush out immediately. If not, not only will we lose our chance, it will also be difficult for us to escape."

"How about we retreat first?"

At this point, Brother Qiang's confidence wavered. The closer he got to Lin Ye territory, the more nervous he became.

Lin Ye was much more powerful than he expected.

Just now, he saw the 500 man team of blacksmiths leave the platform. Who knew if he still had any trump cards.

Honestly speaking, the moment Zhang Liang spoke, he nearly pissed his pants.

In addition, that kid had no idea what was going on and kept saying that it was dangerous. Those who didn't know would think that they were exposed.

His nervous heartbeat was like a roller coaster ride, undulating up and down. Even a fierce man like him could not stand it.

"Retreat? It's too late."

A sharp glint flashed across Chu Xiu's eyes as he said sternly, "Brother Qiang, you were the one who said that you wanted to come and yet you are the one who is calling for the retreat too."

"All of us have given our lives to you but you are toying with us? In order to help you successfully occupy this bunker, I even sacrificed my most trusted ranger, Chu Yang. Now, you actually want to retreat?"

"Brother Qiang, I just want to ask you a question. Are you going or not? If not, I'll turn around and leave. Don't look for me if there's anything in the future. I can't afford to lose anymore."

Perhaps it was because of his provocation, Brother Qiang became a little agitated. He said angrily in a low voice, "Fine, I'll do it. F*ck, at most, I'll be a man again after 18 years. Chu Xiu, come with me. We'll lead from the left."

"Little Qi, you three flank him from the right. After killing that lord, go straight to the bunker and take everything from him by force."

After speaking, his face was covered in a ferocious glow as he swept his gaze across others.

"If you all dare to play your tricks here, even if I die, I will kill you all first!"

"That won't happen. Brother Qiang, after this is done, can you give me that Elemental Ranger? I've been single for 25 years, and don't have a girlfriend yet," the man called Little Qi teased.

"That's not an issue. Get him!"

Brother Qiang gave everyone a look and led a group of people to fight their way out.

The other three were the same, except for Chu Xiu who was at the back.

He pretended to take a few steps and ran away with his subordinates when Brother Qiang wasn't paying attention.

"Chu Xiu, f*ck you!"

When Brother Qiang realized this, he cursed in his heart.

The fire in his heart extinguished and he wanted to escape as well.

However, now that he was charging south, he was too close, one of the soldiers guarding the corner also noticed him.

"Enemy!"

The soldier was just about to shout when an arrow hit his head.

It was Little Qi's ranger.

Their speed was fast, and they had already charged over from the right.

Now, they were completely exposed.

However, they did not understand why Lin Ye did not panic, nor did he shout for help from his subordinates.

This guy was probably a fool.

Brother Qiang, who had been feeling uneasy, suddenly felt as if he had eaten a tranquilizer. He said happily, "Brothers, kill him!"

At the thought of the huge fortune that he was about to obtain, Brother Qiang was overjoyed. There were even small hops in his jog.

"Die!"

Little Qi's face revealed an ominous glint. He jumped onto the high platform in a few steps and charged towards Lin Ye.

He had always bullied the weak and feared the strong. Once there was an opportunity, he would be ruthless to everyone.

Bang!

Suddenly, the crisp sound of a gun rang.

The excitement on Little Qi's face had yet to disappear when a bullet hole mark appeared between his eyebrows.

The scene froze and his body fell to the ground.

"Firearms? Submachine guns?!!"

"F*ck!"

Brother Qiang and the rest broke out in cold sweat.

Tap-tap-tap…

The pitch-black muzzle shone again and again.

The 2 human lords and 30 rangers following Little Qi were instantly killed.

Even though the rangers shot a few arrows at Lin Ye before they died, they were all blocked by the Purple Star Armor.

When Lin Ye turned around and raised his gun, he looked at Brother Qiang expressionlessly.

Thump!

Brother Qiang's newbie saber slipped out of his hand. His legs went soft and he knelt down on the spot.

"Brother, spare me! I was wrong! I'm just a lackey! Everything was that b*stard's idea! It has nothing to do with me!"

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction where Chu Xiu had fled.

However, at this moment, he could only see the other party's silhouette. He had already ran 900 meters away.

Bang!

A single shot ended the bald man.

"Adelia!"

He called out from afar.

Adelia, who had consumed a Level 4 Body Strengthening Pill,

At this moment, she was already half a step into Class 4, and with the help of the silver tier weapon, the Wind Splitting Bow.

Within a thousand meter range, it was more powerful than a pistol.

Before they had sniper rifles, they were the most suitable units to deal precise damage to enemy units.

"Kill that guy!"

Lin Ye said coldly as he watched Chu Xiu run away.

How dare he use something so 'dangerous' like the zombie wave to scheme against him.

This kind of person was too bold and could not be left alive.

"Roger!"

With a few leaps, she jumped onto the top floor of the bunker and looked far ahead. Soon, she locked onto Chu Xiu, who had escaped.

Whoosh—

The Wind Splitting Bow was pulled taut, and wind elemental energy gathered on the surface of the arrow.

The next moment, the elemental arrow pierced through the air and transformed into a blue ray of light that shot towards Chu Xiu who was 900 meters away.

"You deserve to die!!!"

"I cannot die, I cannot!!!"

Chu Xiu was sweating profusely. His mind was about to explode from the inexplicable warning of danger.

At the same time, he also sensed the whistling wind behind him.

At the last moment, he decided to listen to his intuition and pounced in the opposite direction.

Gasp!

The arrow imbued with elemental power instantly pierced through Chu Xiu's shoulder, but it didn't take his life.

"Bring me to see Sister Bao'er, quick!"

Chu Xiu endured the pain and ordered his ranger before he fainted.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, they carried him into the forest and disappeared.

Chapter 41: Class 3 Native Worker, Mus Baruch!

"He's not dead?"

Adelia looked startled.

Logically speaking, her elemental arrows had a 100% hit rate within a thousand meters. It was impossible for a mortal to avoid a fatal blow.

But that fellow…

She could not help but think of Zhang Liang. A talent maybe?

If that was the case, this fellow's reaction speed was definitely faster than Zhang Liang's.

With that thought in her mind, she dashed to 900 meters away.

She followed the blood stains on the ground and searched for dozens of meters, but there was no trace of him.

The forest had just been exposed to the scorching sun. The dried ground was hard and there were no footprints to follow.

There were still rangers in the opposing camp, and they had a lot of knowledge about anti-tracking.

It would not be easy to find him in such a huge forest.

A moment later, she returned to the camp.

Looking at the calm expression on Lin Ye's face, he lowered his head and said in shame, "I'm sorry, my lord. I screwed up again."

"I'll overlook it this time since you're injured but this will be the last time."

Lin Ye glanced at her and went to the bunker with a serious expression.

He planned to spend a lot of money to construct a Level 3 Breeding Field in advance.

The Civilization Archive's resource page had a blueprint for Class 3 Wolf Cavalry Warriors. With the breeding field, he would be able to recruit Class 3 Beast Soldiers – Earth Wolves.

These beast type soldiers were extremely good at tracking, far surpassing any human type soldier.

Originally, he expected it to be delayed for a few days. After all, Lin One and the others were only intermediate native workers. Their construction ability still had room for improvement.

However, he was determined to kill the person who had just escaped.

He vaguely remembered reading a certain novel in the past. It was about small-time villains like this who became braver the more setbacks they suffered. They were as tough as cockroaches.

Every time they didn't die, the next time they appeared, it would definitely be a destructive blow.

And that person was so similar to a villain from a novel he had read before.

Ruthless, vicious, decisive, and accurate judgment of the situation…

He seemed to be an awakened too?

He had seen the power of Adelia's Elemental Arrow. It was impossible for ordinary people to survive it.

There was a high chance that he had a talent similar to Zhang Liang's.

He had to kill this dangerous person no matter what.

As soon as he stepped into the bunker's recruitment hall, he bumped into Lin One.

At this moment, Lin One was walking out of the teleportation portal with a large group of native workers.

"What happened to your face?" Lin Ye looked at Lin One strangely. He only asked Lin One to recruit thousands of native workers and not only did he waste so much time, he himself was looking like he had been beaten up by dozens of people. His face was swollen and the two trademark panda eyes were even showing.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Lin One smiled foolishly as he scratched his head. He pointed at the native workers who were walking behind him and introduced, "My lord, I spent a lot of time and effort to recruit all my family members from the tribe. In order to see if I have improved, my uncles greeted me warmly."

"Fortunately, I didn't embarrass my lord. They didn't manage to take advantage of us either. Hehe."

Hearing this, Lin Ye looked in the direction which he was pointing in.

As expected, the dozen of native workers at the front of the group bore resemblance to Lin One.

Similarly, their faces were more or less bruised.

They had probably fought in the recruitment hall while Tru and the rest were fighting the zombie wave.

Of course, there were exceptions. For example, the middle-aged man in the front row who was at the center of the group was the only elite native worker who was not injured at all.

What surprised Lin Ye the most was that this person was actually of the Advanced rank.

He remembered that after the upgrade of the bunker, it had specially hinted that higher-level native workers and blacksmiths needed new recruitment orders to be recruited.

Without an 'Advanced' recruitment order, he should be unable to recruit higher class native workers.

"Ahem…"

At this moment, Lin One coughed lightly and interrupted appropriately, "My lord, this is my father, Mus Baruch, an Advanced native worker. He once made great contributions to 1 of the 72 major cities in the underworld, Dragonblood City, and was given the surname of the Dragonblood Clan."

"It's a pity that my father is the only one in our entire clan who has the right to inherit the name. After he retired from Dragonblood City, he established a native worker tribe in our village. Now, he is the chief of the tribe. Because of my relationship with him, I used special channels and spent a little more zombie souls to bring him here."

"I see." Lin Ye nodded, looking as if he understood instantly.

As for what said channel was, he did not ask.

His gaze landed on the native worker who was also a tribe leader.

Mm, he did look somewhat like a leader.

He was dressed better than ordinary native workers. His clothes were neat and his face was handsome. He did not look like a native worker at all.

On the other hand, there were some small landlords in his biography.

As if reading Lin Ye's thoughts, Lin One added tactlessly, "My lord, even though my father is dressed well, he's really a native worker. This is the last piece of clothing he has without patches after returning from Dragonblood City. He only wears it when he meets with esteemed guests. On usual days, he dresses like us."

Unfilial son!

Mus Baruch was furious when he heard that.

If the lord was not here, he would have slapped this unfilial son until he cried loudly.

There were sons that harmed their fathers but was there anyone who did it like you?

He had given up on the Bloodline Teleportation Entry that he could only obtain every few decades, and now his son was trying to undermine him? He had his pride as well.

"Shut up if you don't know how to talk!"

He glared at his bastard of a son.

Then, he bowed and executed the noble etiquette he had learned from Dragonblood City decades ago. He said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "You must be the lord of your territory. I am Lin One's father, Mus Baruch. I am happy to meet a young and promising lord like you."

"At the same time, I thank you for thinking so highly of my stupid son and for giving him your name. On behalf of the Baruch Tribe, I offer my respects and am willing to serve you."

"It's nice to meet you too, Mus Baruch."

Lin Ye nodded with a smile. After helping the other party up, he hurriedly said, "Mus, you came at the right time. I have the blueprint for the Level 3 Breeding Field and I'll need your help."

"That won't be a problem. Lin One has already told me before coming. I've once built a Level 3 and even Level 4 Breeding Field in Dragonblood City so I'm experienced. In addition, with the lord's blueprint, I can be faster than other advanced native workers." Mus Baruch said confidently.

"That would be great, but I need it fixed in ten seconds."

As soon as Lin Ye said that, he almost scared Mus Baruch to death.

Are you kidding me?

Ten seconds. Do you think I'm the god of native workers?

"Don't worry, I don't have any intention of making things difficult for you. As you can see, my bunker has been upgraded to Level 5. For basic construction, I can exchange Zombie Souls for Breeding Field Construction Acceleration Scrolls. I don't have much of anything else, but I don't lack Zombie Souls. You can use them as you wish."

"I see." Hearing this, Mus Baruch heaved a sigh of relief and clicked his tongue inwardly.

His stupid son was not lying. This new human lord was simply outrageous.

The Level 3 Breeding Field did not seem high level, but it required at least 6 Acceleration Scrolls for its construction.

That was 6,000 Zombie Souls.

Oh my god, he got a good catch. He heard from his dumb son that if he did well here, he might be given an upgrade scroll as a reward.

Mm, in the long term, this did not seem like a loss.

Chapter 42: The Beast Tamer's Spell!

"This is the blueprint for the Level 3 Breeding Field."

Lin Ye opened the Civilization Archive's resource page and took the blueprint.

At the same time, he exchanged for 6 Breeding Field Acceleration Scrolls from the Level 5 bunker and handed them all to Mus Baruch.

"My lord, please wait for a moment. It'll be done soon."

Mus Baruch accepted it with a smile and instructed Lin One to take out a large amount of wood and stone from the warehouse. He brought the tools and jogged to an open space dozens of meters away.

Ding—

He picked up the tools and started constructing the breeding field according to the blueprint.

As he proceeded with the construction, he tore open the acceleration scrolls.

Six golden streams of light rained down and enveloped Mus Baruch and the breeding field.

"It feels good to be following such a rich guy!"

Mus Baruch sighed softly.

Even as an advanced native worker, he had never used Acceleration Scrolls so generously.

Six scrolls at once too.

Soon, the golden light enveloped him. At that moment, it was as if the god of native workers had blessed him with a divine blessing. His thoughts and actions instantly increased by more than ten times.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

He transformed into dozens of shadow clones and tackled the breeding field crazily.

[Progress 1%[Progress 1%[Progress 1%]…

[Construction Experience 1[Construction Experience 1[Construction Experience 1]…

"Feels great!"

While he was building rapidly, Mus Baruch was overjoyed.

His building experience, which had been stagnant for a long time, was increasing again. He could deeply sense that his construction skills were improving rapidly.

If he could get another dozen of Acceleration Scrolls, he could probably advance to Class 4 directly.

Before this, he didn't have much hope, but he saw hope from Lin Ye.

Silly son, he finally did something good.

Mus Baruch was overjoyed. It was as if he happily transformed into a little bee as he danced around the field.

In a short time, the large amount of stone and wood under his feet disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In contrast, the silhouette of a large Level 3 Breeding Field appeared. A few seconds later, the shadow solidified and appeared in its full glory.

"I've accomplished my mission." Mus Baruch wiped the sweat off his face. His face was pale, and he almost fell to the ground as if his soul had left him.

This was the aftereffect of the Acceleration Scroll. The bunker acceleration was a direct upgrade through the system.

For the other basic buildings, the acceleration scroll consumed the stamina of the native workers. Once the limit was exceeded, fatigue was one of the symptoms.

It was not a major problem and he would get better after a few hours' rest.

"You've worked hard."

Lin Ye took out 10 Intermediate Native Worker Upgrade Scrolls and stuffed them into Mus Baruch's hands.

F*ck!!

Mus Baruch's eyes widened as his breathing quickened.

Although it was useless to him, it could use them to strengthen his tribe. Many of his cousins were stuck at the peak as beginner native workers, just short of this final step.

These 10 Level 2 Upgrade Scrolls were really timely.

Holding it in his hand, he was instantly engulfed in happiness.

Sobs—

This lord was too good. This was all his unfilial son, Lin One's fault. Such a good lord, his son should've recruited him as soon as possible.

If I had come earlier and distributed the upgrade scrolls during the day, I would have given the loyalty of my entire clan to the lord.

With that, he would have hundreds of upgrade scrolls in his hands.

Ahhh, this old man has made a loss of a few hundred million! (Heart OS: Roaring Lion.jpg)

At the thought of this, Mus Baruch suddenly felt the ten upgrade scrolls in his hand become tasteless. At the same time, he looked at his son with resentment.

"???"

With regards to this, the ignorant Lin One blinked and scratched his head.

It felt like his father hated him at this moment.

Did I do something wrong?

Surely, he didn't. His father must be tired.

Mm, that must be it.

Indeed, his father was old and when one was old, they became useless.

I have to advise the lord next time since I still have to sit on the throne as the best native worker of this territory.

Father, just stay low and help me with the menial work.

Ah, I'm so filial.

Finally, he bared his white teeth and gave his father a friendly and honest smile.

"…"

Mus Baruch naturally knew that his foolish son would misunderstand again. He couldn't be bothered to explain and hurriedly thanked Lin Ye. "Thank you for your reward, my lord. Please come to me again if there's such a task next time. Even if I tire myself to death, I will help you complete it."

"Definitely." Lin Ye nodded.

At this moment, the system sent a congratulatory message.

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your generosity has made Mus Baruch take a critical hit from his joy. His loyalty has increased to 75%.]

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have successfully built a Breeding Field. You are rewarded with 4 Class 1 Beast Tamers.]

With 100xReward, you can choose between:

400 Class 1 Beast Tamers (Class 1 Beast Tamers can help Cavalry Soldiers to tame Class 1 Beast Soldiers at a rate of 100%. 10% for Class 2 Beast Soldiers and 0% for Class 3 Beast Soldiers)4 Class 3 Beast Tamers (Class 3 Beast Tamers can help Cavalry Soldiers to tame Class 3 Beast Soldiers at a rate of 90%. 10% of Class 4 Beast Soldiers, 0% of Class 5 Beast Soldiers)

After some thought, there was no other choice.

Be it population problems or recruiting Class 3 Earth Wolves to kill Chu Xiu.

There was only one choice for him.

"I choose option two," Lin Ye said.

Whoosh—

As soon as he finished speaking, a magic hexagram array that was showing the image of the Beast Deity appeared, and a blue portal appeared in the air.

Four middle-aged men wearing dark green beast skin walked out from the portal.

"Class 3 Beast Tamer Gu Jiang!"

"Class 3 Beast Tamer Gu Nan!"

"Class 3 Beast Tamer Gu Ji!"

"Class 3 Beast Tamer Gu Mo!"

The four of their gazes landed on Lin Ye. They clasped their fists and bowed. "Greetings, my lord."

"Everyone, there is no need for formalities. Right now, I need to recruit the great Earth Wolf to chase after my enemy. Can you all lend me a hand?" Lin Ye spoke.

"A Class 3 Earth Wolf?"

The leader, Gu Jiang, stepped forward and said calmly, "Yes, we can, but our lord needs to give us the recruitment order for the Earth Wolves or the blueprints for the Wolf Cavalry Warrior."

"Sorry to trouble you."

Lin Ye hurriedly handed over the blueprint for the Wolf Cavalry Warriors and also gave each of them 100 Zombie Souls.

Gu Jiang and the others' eyes lit up when they saw this.

"My lord, you're too generous. It's our first meeting. How can I accept this?"

He spoke humbly but his hands were quick in keeping the payment.

"I'll trouble you to hurry. That enemy of mine is extremely difficult to deal with. If he escapes, it will be troublesome." Lin Ye said solemnly.

"Don't worry, my lord. He won't be able to escape. We'll personally guide the Earth Wolf later. As long as there's any residual aura from him, he won't be able to escape within an area of 30 kilometers." After receiving the money, Gu Jiang and the others' attitude was enthusiastic as they patted their chests and promised.

With that, Lin Ye took another 500 Zombie Souls out and summoned 10 huge wolves the size of calves.

"Roar—"

As soon as they came out, 10 wild giant wolves raised their heads and roared, shaking even the Haunted House which was deep in the forest to the north.

"Silence!"

"You are an obedient Earth Wolf!"

"You are an obedient Earth Wolf!"

Terrified, Gu Jiang and the other three cast beast-taming incantations one after another.

Chapter 43: Revenge Must Be Quick!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"This spell…"

Lin Ye looked stunned and a little dazed. Were they joking? They had to be.

How could a beast tamer's spell be this?

But something even more shocking happened.

Such a ridiculous incantation! It! Was! Actually! Effective!!!

Of the 10 Class 3 Earth Wolves, 9 of them instantly fell silent. Like domesticated huskies, they surrounded Gu Jiang and the others affectionately. From time to time, they would wag their tails and lick the palms of the four people. They seemed extremely docile.

The only one left at the corner had a fierce glint in its bell-sized wolf eyes. As it howled, it bared its teeth at Lin Ye and the others.

"…"

Everyone fell silent.

Was this the 90% rate?

He loved it.

"Ahem… My lord, please step back. Our luck is bad. We actually encountered an Earth Wolf with Mad Wolf disease. Our spells can't tame such wolves."

Gu Jiang looked awkward as he spewed nonsense in all seriousness.

He did not expect that the 90% success rate would be triggered during their first try.

It would have been fine if it was any other lord.

It was already not bad that I tamed nine for you. If you still dare to grumble and pick at it, I'll just quit.

As a noble Class 3 Beast Tamer, how could I tolerate this treatment?

But Lin Ye was different. He took out 100 Zombie Souls at once. No, that was wrong. Four people meant 400 Zombie Souls.

The tips he casually threw out were more than a few months' salary in the underworld.

This kind of treatment could not be found elsewhere.

Since the lord was so tactful, they would give him some face and kill this trashy earth wolf that ruined their track record.

Gu Jiang's face revealed an ominous glint. Like a loyal lackey, he guarded Lin Ye.

"Mad Wolf disease?" Lin Ye was skeptical.

The uncultivated giant earth wolf seemed to be very agitated, showing signs of attacking at any moment.

"Yes, Mad Wolf disease. It's a very troublesome disease. Once infected, there's a 99% chance that it will die after the onset of the disease. It's rumored that no one can save it except for the Holy Emperor and the Queen of Life. The best way to deal with this kind of mutated wolf is to beat it to death," Gu Jiang replied seriously.

When it came to Mad Wolf disease, he did not lie.

However, it was clear that this giant earth wolf was definitely not one of those infected.

However, it interrupted Gu Jiang's interview with their new lord. If I don't kill you, I'll become a wolf instead.

Lin Ye's eyes flickered.

Although he guessed that Gu Jiang was looking for an excuse, he did gain something. He received another piece of useful information.

The Holy Emperor was probably the ultimate boss of Priest Gran. As for the Queen of Life…

He asked, but Gu Jiang remained silent. He seemed to be a difficult person to deal with who didn't talk about the lower classes.

He glanced at Lin Ye from the corner of his eye and realized that his lord did not object to his decision.

Gu Jiang was overjoyed. He pointed with his large hand. "My sons, go! Bite it to death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other nine large earth wolves which had been tamed revealed ferocious expressions and completely disregarded their relationship as fellow wolves as they swarmed over.

Roar—

A moment later, a pitiful scream and the arrogant red-eyed wolf was bitten to death.

The nine huge earth wolves behaving like huskies wagged their tails and ran obediently back to Gu Jiang's feet.

"How obedient." Gu Jiang was satisfied. He felt that his first interview was a success.

Not only did he showcase his beast taming skills, he also exhibited an exciting battle between trapped beasts.

He immediately rewarded each of the nine earth wolves with a few Zombie Souls, making them so happy that they wagged their tails.

"If they bit the other wolf, wouldn't they get sick?" Lin Ye asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry, my lord. It definitely won't. A normal giant earth wolf with the protection of the God of Wolves won't have any problems." Gu Jiang patted his chest and promised.

"Then let's go," Lin Ye urged.

After experiencing what happened to the bald man and the others, he had learned a lesson.

Revenge had to be taken early!

I'm already so strong. On what grounds should they dare to bully me?

If I didn't have an awakened talent, would I have died ten minutes ago?

At the thought of this, he trembled with anger.

He almost died!

Damn it!!!

"Don't be anxious, my lord. Killing people is a small matter. Your health is more important. Riding an Earth Wolf will cause too much harm to a mortal's bottoms."

Gu Jiang took out a set of purple beast saddles from out of nowhere and crazily recommended it to Lin Ye.

"My lord, your skin is too fragile. I recommend you to use a beast saddle."

"What a coincidence. A few days ago, I went to the Beast King City, one of the 72 underworld cities. I bought a set of purple tier beast saddle for my elder. Once you place them on the huge Earth Wolf's back, sitting on the wolf will feel like flat ground."

"Look, on it, there is a cleaning array carved by an array master. It cleanses dust all around you. The purple gas surrounding the beast saddle is also extraordinary. It is the purple spiritual energy collected by top-notch spiritual energy collectors when at the rise of the first dawn."

"Bathed in purple spiritual energy, it's like a saint leaving his realm. It's indescribably expensive. Of course, the material of this beast saddle is also of superior quality."

"Do you see this yellowish-orange leather cushion? This is made of Earth Dragon Skin from the Sleeping Dragon Valley. It's a top quality product of the dragon race. It can protect your bottoms from the pain from riding and also show off your noble status. It's simply made for an esteemed noble like you, my lord…"

"Alright, just tell me. How much is it?" Lin Ye asked impatiently.

"It's only 500 Zombie Souls, not expensive at all," Gu Jiang said with a straight face.

Behind him, Gu Nan and the other two rolled their eyes.

Damn it, wasn't it just an ordinary Level 3 saddle? How did he exaggerate it this much?

500 Zombie Souls? How dare he!

With this money, it was enough for him to build a few fully armed Class 3 Wolf Cavalry Warriors.

Lin Ye narrowed his eyes and looked at him seriously. He didn't waste any time and directly threw out 5,000 Zombie Souls. "Give me 9 beast saddles and put them on all the Earth Wolves."

"My… lord, it won't take so much." Gu Jiang's face turned pale.

He was frightened by Lin Ye.

Originally, he did have the intention to cheat this rich human lord.

But who would have thought that Lin Ye would not follow common routes and directly gave him 5,000 Zombie Souls.

This amount was enough to hire the assassins to kill his entire clan.

Although he was greedy for money, he was not stupid.

In addition, the look in Lin Ye's eyes just now was a little scary. If he took this money, Lin Ye might decide to issue a bounty order to annihilate his entire clan.

"Since it's for you, accept it."

Lin Ye's expression was calm. "I don't care about this bit of money, but from the moment you spoke till now, you've already wasted two minutes of my time. If the enemy escapes, I'll settle this score with you."

"I…"

Gu Jiang's legs trembled and he almost knelt down.

However, he had been in the underworld for a long time and had strong mental strength.

After eliminating those distracting thoughts, he quickly put on the saddle for the huge earth wolf beside him and bowed. "My lord, please get on! I will personally escort you there."

"I hope this won't happen again." Lin Ye looked straight at Gu Jiang.

"No, it won't!" Gu Jiang's forehead was covered in sweat as he groaned inwardly.

He had long known that these rich people were not good people. They would turn hostile at the drop of a hat and provoking them due to their complacency was never a good idea.

As he spoke, Lin Ye stepped on Gu Jiang's shoulder domineeringly and sat on the beast saddle.

Chapter 44: Chu Xiu and Zhang Bao'er!

Following the instructions of the beast tamer, Gu Jiang, Lin Ye sat on the body of the most powerful looking giant earth wolf. He pulled on the reins and turned his head to shout, "Adelia, Tru, bring 4 Class 2 soldiers. Speed is crucial for this. The nine of us will be enough."

"Yes, my lord."

Tru and the others obeyed, taking the beast saddles from Gu Jiang.

Of course, their saddles were only ordinary blue tier equipment. Other than being able to basic support, they were not worth looking at.

Gu Jiang felt uneasy.

He felt that the 5,000 Zombie Souls that his lord forced into his hands were a little scalding and he almost wanted to throw them away.

But he did not dare to.

He had already decided. When he returned from this mission, he would buy more high-level beast saddles from the Beast King City.

Otherwise, God knew which day his lord would be in a bad mood and decided to settle scores with him.

In a short while, the others had also installed their saddles.

All of them rode on the huge earth wolf happily.

Lin Ye also tried a few times. Perhaps it was due to the purple tier beast saddle, but it was easier to operate than he imagined.

All he had to do was hold on to the reins and swing the reins from side to side, and the earth wolf would follow his instructions.

However, detailed operation still required Beast Tamer Gu Jiang to use an incantation which was troublesome.

If one could undergo the modifications by the barracks and become a wolf cavalry warrior, they would be able to communicate with the giant earth wolf telepathically. There would be no need for a beast tamer.

But there was no time now. It would take at least five hours to train a wolf cavalry warrior. By the time the training was completed, it would be too late.

"Let's go to the place where the guy got injured first. His blood is still there."

Seeing that the others had more or less grasped the method of riding, with the help of Beast Tamer Gu Jiang, Lin Ye and the rest rode on the wolves.

Tap-tap-tap…

The earth wolf was extremely fast. In less than ten seconds, they were 900 meters away from the camp.

There was still traces of blood left behind by Chu Xiu before he escaped.

Lin Ye glanced at Gu Jiang, who immediately understood his intentions and muttered some beast-taming incantations.

"Wolf Tracking Technique! Find the owner of the blood and you'll get candy!"

"Find the owner of the blood and you'll get candy!"

He repeated that line nine times in a row.

The unreliable sounding incantation spell transformed into sound waves that surged into the ear of the giant earth wolf.

In an instant, they seemed to have understood the instructions.

Each and every one of their bell-sized wolf eyes became blindingly bright as drool dripped from the corners of their mouths.

With the reward, they could tempt the beasts to find people. The nine huge earth wolves immediately perked up. They sniffed at the blood on the ground and raised their heads to search for some kind of fluctuation in scent from the air.

"Howl—"

Finally, the first to discover the tracks was the mighty earth wolf that Lin Ye was riding.

It lowered its head and howled towards the southeastern direction, as if saying, "I found it. The owner of the blood is over there. Give me some candy."

"Well done!"

Lin Ye's eyes lit up. He casually threw 10 Zombie Souls into the mouth of the huge Earth Wolf and pulled on its reins. "Let's go!"

Rumble—-

A team of nine people quickly moved through the forest.

The huge earth wolf was indeed like a small whirlwind in the forest. Anywhere it passed, it was like a tornado, stirring up large amounts of dead branches and leaves.

As it ran, the scenery in front of him changed rapidly.

In just seven to eight minutes, the giant earth wolf leaped up and ran out of the forest to the edge of the river.

From afar, they saw ten figures resting by the river.

"Found them!"

Lin Ye's eyes lit up. He was overjoyed. With the Purple Star Armor protecting him, he held the MP9 in his hands and charged forward.

"Oh no, they caught up!"

On the other side, Chu Xiu, who had just woken up from his injuries, saw Lin Ye and the others. His expression turned extremely ugly.

Wolves? Cavalry soldiers?

Damn it! How did he develop so quickly!

It was too late to run. It was impossible to outrun them on a flat ground. At this distance, they would catch up in less than a minute.

His eyes were bloodshot as his mind raced, looking for a way to escape.

Through the dense forest? No way, he would die if he went in.

Cross the river?

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the float of crocodiles which were lying on their stomachs sunbathing at the edge of the river.

"F*ck!"

He cursed under his breath and agitated the arrow wound on his shoulder that was still occasionally emitting wind elemental power. He coughed up blood uncontrollably.

"Chu Xiu, your wound is open again. What should I do? Are you going to die soon? Sobs…"

Zhang Bao'er stomped her feet anxiously. Her eyes were bloodshot and tears flowed down her face.

"…"

Chu Xiu looked at Sister Bao'er helplessly, feeling bitter in his heart.

He knew very well that he was probably going to die this time. The wounds on his body were severe. The arrows which were imbued with the special energy of the other world were extremely terrifying. Even though he avoided a fatal blow with the help of his mysterious talent, it still damaged his human body.

Along the way, although the experienced rangers had treated his wounds, the bleeding couldn't stop.

There were no hospitals or doctors here, and he did not have the money to recruit medical-type soldiers.

Even if Lin Ye and the others did not catch up, he would die for sure.

However, he was unwilling to accept this!!!

He had finally gotten rid of Bald Qiang and the others. Good days were supposed to be awaiting them.

In the end, it was all for naught.

He could die, but not Sister Bao'er!

"My lord, what should we do now?"

At this moment, the 20 or so rangers guarding in front of him swallowed nervously. The wolf cavalry warriors were charging over menacingly.

Although there were only nine of them, their aura and pressure completely crushed them, making their limbs go soft from fear.

[Warning, Survivor Chu Xiu. Your rangers have felt fear and loyalty has dropped to 50%!]

[Warning, Survivor Chu Xiu. Your rangers have felt fear and their loyalty has dropped to 40%. They are about to choose to escape!]

"F*ck!"

Before he died, he withstand a critical hit of the diminishing loyalty of his people from the underworld. Chu Xiu cursed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

Forget it. Since he had harmed the loyal Chu Yang, he should set these rangers free.

Thinking of this, he took the initiative to release their recruitment status and said expressionlessly, "You guys can leave. If you stay, only death awaits."

"My lord, then, please take care!"

The rangers were overjoyed. After thanking him, they contacted the elders of their tribe and opened the teleportation array to escape back to the underworld.

After dealing with the problem of the rangers, Chu Xiu looked at Zhang Bao'er and said sternly, "Sister Bao'er, you must remember what I'm going to say next. I will craft a way for you to live."

"If you have the chance to live, don't avenge me, and don't harbor any thoughts of revenge."

"This world has changed. Many people treat this place as a game. They kill without caring. When I'm not around, you have to be careful. If you can, be an ordinary person in the territory of that human lord."

"I've noticed before that there are other humans in his territory. I think he still retains a bit of his humanity. As long as you don't go overboard and become hostile to him, he won't hurt you."

Chapter 45: I'll Tell You a Secret, Help Me Beat Sister Bao'er to Death!

"What about you?" Zhang Bao'er asked worriedly.

"I…"

Chu Xiu revealed a calm smile. "Of course I want to go home. Perhaps if I die, everything will be over and I will return to Earth."

"Then, I'll accompany you. Everyone here is so fierce. I can't win them."

Zhang Bao'er blinked as she uttered weakly.

"That's good too. You're so kind. Without me, you might not survive for more than half a day. Why don't I beat you to death first before I commit suicide?"

Chu Xiu nodded as if in agreement. He picked up a fist-sized stone from the riverside with much difficulty and said with a smile, "Come, Sister Bao'er, don't be afraid. I, Chu Xiu, am famous for being the mastermind of the Azure Dragon Bay. I'm quick, ruthless, and accurate. I guarantee that I will let you die without any pain."

"But consider this carefully. With this stone, your pretty head will break."

"Ah!"

"That's too cruel!!!"

Zhang Bao'er frowned as a manhua-like '#' appeared on her head.

She jumped up and hid far away from him.

She was not afraid of death, but the thought of such a miserable way to die still made her shudder in fear.

"Hahaha."

Chu Xiu laughed when he saw this.

But with this action, he aggravated his injuries. His breaths weakened and laid by the riverside, heaving painfully.

"Hey, don't move around too much!"

Zhang Bao'er felt sorry for him, but she didn't dare to go over, afraid that Chu Xiu would really kill her.

Sometimes, she didn't understand what this guy was thinking. That he liked her? But it didn't seem like the case as well.

Tap-tap-tap…

As they spoke, a few extremely fast afterimages flew over.

These were Lord Lin and his loyal fans.

"Dumb wolf, stop! I said stop!"

Lin Ye's face was pale as he grabbed the reins tightly.

Perhaps because of the many zombie souls it had just eaten, the huge earth wolf was incredibly excitable. It ran so quickly that it almost left Lin Ye behind.

Fortunately, Beast Tamer Gu Jiang was with him. He forcefully stabilized the huge earth wolf and landed steadily.

"That was close!"

Lin Ye straightened, but a chill ran down his back.

There were crocodiles everywhere on the other side of the river. If he fell over there, it would have been disastrous.

"When I get back, I'll hang it up and beat it. If there's a next time, I'll treat everyone to a feast of wolf meat!"

As he spoke, he kicked the giant earth wolf indignantly.

"???"

The giant earth wolf was confused. It thought that its new owner was going to feed it again, so it immediately pounced on him happily, its large tongue continuously licking Lin Ye's face.

"F*ck!"

So smelly! You ate sh*t right!

Lin Ye stared, his expression changing drastically.

He pushed away from the giant earth wolf which went 'crazy', turned around, and collapsed to the ground, retching.

This smell was worse than the golden retriever he raised in his home back on Earth.

"…"

Behind him, Tru, Adelia, and the others landed one after another. They all wanted to laugh at Lin Ye's predicament, but they didn't dare.

His lord was good at everything, but his only flaw was his pettiness.

It was fine if they did it secretly, but if they laughed out loud, he would make them eat buns for the whole week.

On the other hand, Chu Xiu was already someone who was about to die. He wasn't afraid of offending Lin Ye and laughed out loud. In the end, he even shed a few crocodile tears.

Lin Ye wiped the saliva off his face with Adelia's handkerchief and turned to Chu Xiu. "Are you done laughing?"

"Not yet." Chu Xiu shook his head.

"Then continue. I still have some respect for the dead." Lin Ye chuckled.

This person actually dared!

He laughed a while more in front of Lin Ye, and in the end, he even used his already weak hand to hit the ground three times. He cursed angrily, "The heavens are unfair. I can't accept this. I actually lost to such a ret*rd!!"

Who are you calling a ret*rd! Losing to me was honorable!

Lin Ye raised his eyebrows, feeling like he had been underestimated.

He raised his MP9 and said calmly, "Actually, I admire you for having no intention to kneel down and beg for mercy. Perhaps I will be merciful and let you off."

Zhang Bao'er, who was not far away, was overjoyed when she heard that. She took the initiative to run out and urged, "Chu Xiu, quickly kowtow. Is your life more important or your pride more important? Why are you looking at me? Is there something dirty on my face?"

"…"

Lin Ye and the rest stared at her in a deadpan expression.

There must be something wrong with this person's brain. Couldn't she tell that it was a taunt?

Chu Xiu also sighed. "Sister Bao'er, you better come over and let me beat you to death. I've changed my mind. It might be better if we die together."

"I don't want to. You go and scout ahead first. Come and get me when you become a big shot there. I'll hide for a while."

Zhang Bao'er shook her head profusely and refused to go over.

"This…"

Lin Ye looked at Chu Xiu in disbelief. "Your girlfriend?"

"No." Chu Xiu shook his head as if he knew what Lin Ye was thinking and did not intend to explain. "Tell your men to leave. I'll tell you a secret. Help me beat Sister Bao'er to death."

"Chu Xiu, don't do this. I want to die beautifully. I don't want my head to be smashed!" Zhang Bao'er cried miserably.

How embarrassing would it be for me to call off my subordinates just because you asked for it?

Lin Ye cursed in his heart and waved his hand. "Bring that woman and wait for me 100 meters away."

"Yes, my lord!" Tru cupped his fists, grabbed Zhang Bao'er by the neck, and threw her onto Adelia's giant earth wolf.

"Why did you throw her to me?" Adelia was speechless.

"Such an ugly human. I'm afraid she'll have designs on me." Tru glared at the huffing Zhang Bao'er in disdain.

The latter puffed up her cheeks but did not dare to retort.

Because… the huge earth wolf she was sitting on was fierce and it even turned its head and bared its teeth at her just now. The gaps between its teeth still had shreds of meat between them.

Oh my god, these people were more terrifying than Baldy.

Zhang Bao'er shuddered and fainted from shock.

"…"

The scene was extremely beautiful.

When Tru and the others were a hundred meters away, Chu Xiu looked at Lin Ye again and sighed. "The heavens don't have a heart. They actually care for people like you who let their guard down so much. If I were you, regardless of what the secret was, as long as you're a threat to me, I would kill you directly. I wouldn't give you a chance to speak."

"That's because you're not strong enough."

Lin Ye glanced at him from the corner of his eye. "You read too many comics and novels, haven't you? Friend, you look like you're about to die. Just a few words and you're already vomiting blood and you still want to rely on your words to turn the tables? Or are you hoping that a zombie will come out and bite me to death to help you out?"

"Forget it, maybe you're right."

Chu Xiu pursed his lips, lazy to argue. He looked straight at Lin Ye and said, "I'll make this short. If you think it's worth it, kill Sister Bao'er. Else, let her stay in your territory. Don't chase her away."

"You saw it too. With her intelligence, if she goes out, she'll either be bitten to death by zombies or become someone else's pet."

"Cut the crap. You've vomited blood again. Don't die while you're halfway through talking like those TV shows. I'll whip your corpse three hundred times if that happens."

Lin Ye glared at Chu Xiu warningly.

"I…"

Chu Xiu almost couldn't breathe. What kind of people was he!

God, if there was still a chance, please choose me as the protagonist. I'm more suitable than him.

Cursing inwardly, he said slowly, "This secret is about the awakened talents…"

Chapter 46: Second Talent: Heart's Web!

"As expected, you are also an awakened!" Lin Ye smiled.

He had felt something when Chu Xiu dodged Adelia's arrow.

After all, that was a special power of the underworld equivalent to a Class 4, or even near the edges of a Class 5.

How could a mortal easily avoid fatal injuries and escape from it?

"What talent did you awaken?" Lin Ye asked curiously.

But to his surprise, Chu Xiu shook his head, a bitter smile on his face. "I'm an awakened but at the same time, I'm not."

"What do you mean? Is there a difference?" Lin Ye was confused.

"There is a big difference. Strictly speaking, I am not a person who has awakened my innate talent. I inherited the talent of others."

"Talents can be inherited?!" Hearing this, Lin Ye was a little shocked.

Up until now, the people with talent who he had seen, included himself, Zhang Liang, and this fellow who was on the verge of death.

He knew his own situation. The system's mark was unique. It did not mention his level or class.

For Zhang Liang, he had no place to return to and he did not say a single word of truth.

He had considered interrogating him severely, but before he could, Adelia's injuries happened.

Because of this, he gave up on that idea and planned to figure it out himself.

And from there, experience points came knocking on his door.

"I only found out about it because of an accident."

Chu Xiu's gaze was dazed as a white crystal shard flashed across his mind. It was the most beautiful item he had seen in his life.

After a moment, he recovered from his memories and continued, "On the first day, because of my left arm's injury, I was given a team by the system. Amongst my team were Bald Qiang, Sister Bao'er, and Grandpa Qian."

"At first, it was fine. However, after reading the information from the world and regional channels and knowing that humans from all over the world had arrived in this world filled with zombies, conflicts began for food resources and weapons. Bald Qiang and the others saw that Grandpa Qian was old and didn't want to waste food, so a fight broke out."

"Little Qi, the first young man who you shot to death. That kid was ruthless to the weak and accidentally killed Grandpa Qian."

"As for me and Sister Bao'er, we had no choice but to join them. After that, they arranged for me to bury Grandpa Qian's corpse. Unexpectedly, I obtained a white crystal shard from his corpse. The system sent a notification, and I inherited the talent called 'Heart's Web'."

"You mean that Grandpa Qian is the real awakened?"

Lin Ye narrowed his eyes and extracted the crucial information.

"You can say so."

Chu Xiu hesitated. "However, there might be some discrepancies. Uncle Qian's talent must have been awakened when he was heavily injured by Little Qi and was on the brink of death. After all, according to my understanding of the 'Heart's Web', if it was before that, Grandpa Qian would definitely not have died."

"What abilities does Heart's Web have?" Lin Ye asked again.

"After the awakening Heart's Web, your five senses will become extremely sensitive. You will be able to detect the auras of the living beings around you, as well as the changes in their emotions. You can also use it to predict and gauge the enemy's heart. Once there is fatal hostility, you will be constantly warned to avoid danger and to make preparations in advance."

With that, Chu Xiu looked at Lin Ye and chuckled. "When I die later, remember to search my corpse. It might even drop out. With the system's help, you can understand this talent directly."

"That is of course!" Lin Ye nodded.

"Alright, that's all I know. Whether you kill Sister Bao'er or not is up to you. I'm dead," Chu Xiu teased. He coughed up blood repeatedly as if he had used up his last bit of life. His head tilted to the side and he faded to his death quietly.

Lin Ye had yet to react to it as he pondered over the short conversation.

There was not much information, but it was crucial.

Putting aside the useless things, there were only crucial words in what he said. One could steal another's talent by killing them!

"F*ck!"

If others killed me, would they be able to get 100xReward from me?

That thought flashed across his mind as he stood rooted to the ground.

But soon, this ridiculous thought was beaten to death.

He shook his head, his face filled with disdain. As long as he was strong enough, he would crush everything.

When the time came, he would wear hundreds of Primordial Tier armor and have tens of millions of top-notch war god-like soldiers under him. Who would be able to kill him?

"A fool worrying needlessly."

Lin Ye shook his head and turned to look at Chu Xiu. "Hey, let me ask you another question. What's your name?"

"…"

At this moment, sparrows were flying south in the sky. The forest was filled with the faint sound of crows, and a chilling wind blew past.

Thud—

The corpse that was Chu Xiu slid to the ground.

"He… died like this?" Lin Ye clenched his teeth.

Like people often say, a good person never lives long, while a scourge would live for a thousand years.

Look at this, those people were right.

This black-hearted scum had caused the deaths of so many people. It was his first time being a good person and he passed away so quickly.

He hesitated for a moment but still couldn't resist the temptation and reached out to touch the corpse.

Soon, it was just like what Chu Xiu had said.

At the waist of the corpse, which was where the Civilization Archive was, a crystal shard that emitted a white light dropped.

"So beautiful!"

Lin Ye's gaze was dazed. It was as if he could see countless beautiful orderly lines in his vision.

They interweaved within the crystal, forming the most perfect image formed by the balanced power between heaven and earth.

At the same time, the system sent a congratulatory message.

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have discovered a talent fragment. Do you wish to inherit the 'Heart's Web' talent?]

[Heart's Web Talent: Enhances your five senses. Your senses will become extremely sensitive and you will be able to detect the aura of living beings within a hundred meters. The changes in emotions can be used to predict and gauge the enemy's heart. Once there is fatal hostility, it will constantly warn you to avoid danger…]

[Friendly Hint: The talent inherited is an acquired talent. It cannot be upgraded with the bunker and will forever be fixed at its basic value!]

"Will inheriting it affect my 100xReward talent?" Lin Ye hurriedly asked.

Although he was interested in this kind of prediction talent, he would never be willing to exchange it with 100xReward.

The system was as cold as ever. It only replied with a 'no' before it fell silent.

"Okay, then. No problem."

Lin Ye nodded and said, "I choose to inherit the talent!"

Whoosh—

As soon as he finished speaking, the white crystal fragment transformed into a stream of light that quickly got absorbed between his brows.

In an instant, he felt a magical energy pass through his body. Especially when it passed through his eyes, ears, nose, and throat, he could clearly feel his facial features rapidly transform under this energy.

Ten seconds later, his vision became especially clear. Like a telescope, his range of vision could vary greatly.

If he zoomed in, he could see the minced meat between the teeth of the huge earth wolf which was panting on the ground.

If he zoomed out, his field of vision would become extremely wide, and he would be able to many more scenes as compared to before.

Twenty seconds later, his sense of smell became very sensitive. The stench of the crocodile from the riverside fifty meters away and the stink of the hippopotamus.

Was a little intrusive, making Lin Ye quickly reduce his sensitivity to smell.

Thirty seconds later, his taste buds changed as well. He swallowed.

He could even taste the steak he had just eaten just before this.

Bleh!

Damn it, his mouth had become so sensitive. What should he do when he ate in the future!

Lin Ye's expression turned bitter.

A minute later, his five senses were completely improved.

At this moment, the system sent another congratulatory message.

Chapter 47: Hidden Mission: Protagonist's Destiny

With 100xReward, you can choose between:

100 Heart's Web Talent Fragments (Unable to level up after basic level. Recommended to be given to human subordinates!)1 Complete Heart Web Talent Crystal (Innate-level, the effect is equivalent to self-awakening. Strongly recommended for the Survivor to use it himself!)Random Reward: 1 Complete Talent Crystal (Note: Only for European King's Heaven Fate holders. Please take a detour if you're not interested.)

[Friendly Hint: Option 3 is temporarily unavailable. Please upgrade 100xReward Talent's Level in time.]

"???"

Lin Ye was a little stunned. There was too much information.

This cheat was too powerful. It could even allow talent fragments to be given a hundred times more.

100 talent fragments were enough to create 100 human lords with great potential.

If this talent encountered a selfless person, humanity would take flight.

Unfortunately, I'm not such a person!

Lin Ye shook his head and gave the first option a pass.

Perhaps when he finally trains an invincible soldier type, he would not mind doing it.

When the time came, everyone in the world would shout 'Dad Lin, I love you'. He could also learn from Dad Ma. During the holidays, he could throw out hundreds of millions of talent fragments which would be an easy feat.

Of course, that was just a fleeting thought in his heart. Since its reality, he had to better himself first.

As expected, he would have to choose option two.

However, what the hell was with the third option that came out of nowhere? And why couldn't he select the option?

"I have to upgrade in time…"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the tiny note at the bottom of the option. Lin Ye almost vomited blood.

Wasn't this system a little too open-ended? It even wanted him to upgrade his 100xReward?

Wait a minute, that didn't seem too bad.

100xReward after leveling up should become 1,000xReward, 10,000xReward, or even BillionsxReward!!!

Sometimes, after the seed of thought was planted, it would become unstoppable.

Lin Ye swallowed. If he could upgrade it to make it a billion times, he would be invincible!

If he opened a sandalwood treasure chest, hundreds of millions of boxes of beef, instant noodles, and white tier weapons. Also, wouldn't it directly upgrade them into an ancient or an unknown-tier weapon??

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

It was a pity that the system did not give him what he wanted this time. It did not even deign him with an explanation and instead simply slapped him on the back of his head.

Anger! Frustration! Bitterness!

"If you say so."

In the end, Lin Ye could only temporarily give up on his wild thoughts and say, "I choose option two!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a white beam of light descended from the sky and landed firmly between Lin Ye's eyebrows.

Inside the beam of light, he could vaguely see a prismatic crystal emitting three colors slowly integrating into his sea of consciousness and easily wrapping around the original 'Heart's Web' talent fragment.

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have obtained the innate talent 'Heart Web'. Current talent is Level 1. Friendly reminder that your current bunker is Level 5. You can immediately upgrade your 'Heart Web' talent to Level 5. Please return to the bunker as soon as possible to upgrade your talent!]

"How troublesome. Can't I level it up on the spot?" Lin Ye was speechless.

On second thought, well, it was actually good to go back.

He will be able to pretend to be a quack while standing on the high platform and get the ignorant people from the underworld to contribute another wave of loyalty.

Sweet!

Just as he was thinking, the quiet system sent another mind-blowing notification.

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have obtained two innate talents and have successfully triggered a hidden talent quest!]

[Quest: Collect the complete version of the Talent Crystal. For every 100 collected, you can exchange them for 1 Protagonist's Destiny. When the Protagonist's Destiny reaches 3,000, you will have a 99% chance of becoming the protagonist of this season and start the uprising of the human race!]

[For the future of humanity, please gather as many crystals as you can!]

"!!!"

Lin Ye's eyes widened.

What did it mean? I've already come this far, am I still not the protagonist? Not the protagonist? Not the protagonist…?!!

He found it a little unbelievable.

Even if he had to take a thousand steps back, this difficult yet pressing mission had no intentions of letting him be the protagonist, right?

It was already difficult to find one awakened. Even he who had the luck of the European King only met another one since the start of the game.

Killing, plundering, and occupying the territory of a person would at most be two talent fragments. However, 1 Protagonist's Destiny required him to kill 100 awakened people.

To gather 3,000 Talent Crystals, he would have to kill at least 300,000 awakened people.

Be practical, how could a person like that start an uprising? The system probably just can't wait for humans to be wiped out.

Lin Ye's mouth twitched.

At this moment, he felt a deep sense of malice from the system. It was no wonder why humans had never won when there had been so many seasons.

Be it the stress from the endless zombie waves or the internal strife between humans.

If they acted recklessly, it was impossible for a protagonist to appear. The final outcome would be mutual destruction.

"Looking at history, the hope of countless generations of humans are piled on me. Ah, this feels a little stressful."

Lin Ye bared his teeth.

For now, the difficulty level for him was probably the lowest since he had the 100xReward talent.

It could greatly reduce the amount of time needed.

He could probably become the protagonist after obtaining 3,000 talents.

Furthermore, if he was able to level up his talent later on?

If he could level it into a 1000xReward or 10,000xReward, everything would take flight.

With this thought in mind, his thoughts instantly became clear. He felt as if he had just fallen asleep in the comforts of a hot spring and felt extremely comfortable.

"As expected, I'm still the blessed one. It's obvious that the stairs have been prepared for me to rise to the throne."

Lin Ye smiled. He had gained a lot today and was in a good mood.

Looking at the dead Chu Xiu, he waved to call Tru over.

"My lord, you called for me?" Tru ran over and asked fawningly.

"Go, dig a pit and bury this guy," Lin Ye instructed.

"Right here?" Tru felt like crying.

His lord was too magnanimous towards an enemy. If it were up to him, he would have thrown him into the river to feed the crocodiles.

"Just do it here. There are mountains and rivers around here. It's the most suitable place for a grave." Lin Ye nodded.

"If you say so."

The lord had already spoken. As his loyal lackey, even if he had to kneel or finish it with tears in his eyes, he would do it.

He immediately picked up a short dagger on the ground and started digging at the ground. A few minutes later, a small grave was built.

Lin Ye very considerately made a wooden tablet for Chu Xiu.

"Oh right, what's this guy's name again?"

He scratched his head. In his memory, this guy died before he could ask.

Forget it, just give him a random one then.

He took the short dagger from Tru and carved it on the wooden tablet using chinese characters.

In Memory of the Treasure Giving Boy who passed away on the 2nd evening after Earth's Transmigration. Tomb erected!

"Alright, done."

Lin Ye handed the short dagger back to Tru and clapped his hands. "It's a good day today. Tru, your punishment is absolved. When you go back, you can add to your meal."

"Thank you, my lord! My lord is the true God who descended from the heavens. Praise your glory!"

Tru winked happily. He finally didn't have to chew on buns anymore so he exaggeratedly flattered Lin Ye.

After returning to the group, everyone rode on their giant earth wolves.

Adelia frowned and said, "My lord, this woman is considered an enemy. What should we do with her?"

What she meant: My lord, this woman is not a good person. Even if we don't kill her, we can't take her.

"Let's bring her back first."

Lin Ye pondered. In any case, he had promised the Treasure Giving Boy. With his resources, feeding another person was not a problem.

After they return, he would ask what skills she had and see if she could contribute to the development of his territory.

People from Earth were all talents after coming to this desolate world. Wasting them was a huge crime.

"Alright." Adelia's grievance was evident from her expression but she had no choice but to ride with Zhang Bao'er on her earth wolf.

Moments later, everyone set off back towards their territory.

Chapter 48: Voluntary Education, Touching the People of the Underworld!

Lin Ye conveniently took over the graveyard where Chu Xiu and the others were in the team mode on his way back.

Not bad, as expected of a nine-man team. The experience points given were frighteningly high, a crazy 28,000 experience points. On average, it was 3,000 experience points per player. It was more than two times higher when compared to Zhang Liang and Xun Mingyuan's individual mode – a pleasant surprise.

After consuming this huge amount of experience, the experience points of his bunker was 29,280/32,000!

If he converted the small zombie wave that attacked this time, he might be able to take flight again.

Half an hour later, night had just fallen when Lin Ye and the others arrived at the territory.

At this moment, the light armored shield soldiers had already annihilated all the zombies.

Lin One and his father, Mus Baruch, were quickly moving the zombie corpses with a large number of native workers.

Fortunately, after the upgrades which were done in the day, the zombie converters which were installed a thousand meters away from the territory had helped to greatly increase the disintegration efficiency. As long as they moved the zombies near the bunker to that area, he would be able to convert those corpses quickly.

The Light Priest, Gran, was not idle. The old fellow was sly. Lin Ye wondered how efficient his work would be before his return.

When Lin Ye entered the territory and took a look at him, the old fellow was really working hard.

Sacred Healing and the Rain of Life poured down freely on the injured soldiers. His face was as white as a sheet and his body shivered, almost collapsing from exhaustion.

"Well done," Lin Ye praised.

"It's what I should do."

Gran hurriedly waved his hand, and his bean-sized eyes curved into a line. He straightened his messy clothes and smiled elegantly.

At the same time, he inwardly praised himself for being smart.

Won't this secure his place? The Lord had promised that he would reward the top 10 workers with upgrade scrolls, equipment, and other resources.

A Class 3 Light Priest who was working so hard, how can he not get a few more rewards?

"My lord, when are we going to eat? We were recruited and immediately fought against thousands of zombies without even having a mouthful of hot soup. Even pigs in the underworld don't live in such misery."

At this moment, a new recruit called from afar.

As soon as those words left his mouth, dozens or even hundreds of people echoed his sentiments.

If it wasn't for the tribe elders who said that this lord was inhumane but could not be offended, they would have long quit.

[Warning, Survivor Lin Ye. Some of your citizens are dissatisfied with their lives and their loyalty has decreased by 3%. Please satisfy their basic needs in time!]

Lin Ye narrowed his eyes when he heard this and stroked the head of the earth wolf which he was sitting on.

"???"

The huge earth wolf turned its head in confusion. Beast Tamer Gu Jiang tactfully assisted.

"Beast Taming Skill: The Roar of the Giant Wolf!" [Translated into Wolf Language: The louder you roar, the greater the reward.]

"Roar—"

This mighty giant earth wolf used its core energy and opened its jaws, letting out an enhanced version of its giant wolf roar, its saliva landing on the faces of the rookies in the front row.

Following that, the pressure of the Class 3 Beast Soldier swept across the entire place. These Class 1 attributeless soldiers were instantly rendered speechless. They were angry, but they did not dare to voice it out.

Seeing that the place had quietened down, Lin Ye swept his gaze across the few troublemakers who were the leaders and spoke in a loud voice, "I hope this will be the first and last time. It's okay for you to demand something from me when you work for me, but you still have to consider the occasion."

"I've just returned to my territory, and you guys already took the lead to create a commotion. Where does that put my face at as your lord? What will the other new brothers who have just joined think?"

"For this once, I'll pretend that I didn't hear you. If there's a next time, I'm sorry to say but my territory doesn't welcome such undisciplined soldiers."

"From tomorrow onwards, after training is over, I will find someone to give you guys lessons and teach you what rules and etiquette are."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of everyone below instantly lit up.

Studying and attending classes were treatments only the nobles of the underworld received.

Can poor rugged wild men like them learn too?

Was this real?!!

"My… my lord, I have something to say!"

From afar, Lin One threw the last zombie corpse. When he heard this, he raised his hand excitedly.

"Very good, this is the order I wanted. I'll reward you with one native worker upgrade scroll!"

Lin Ye smiled and took out an upgrade scroll. He handed it to Tru in front of everyone who then passed it to Lin One.

At the same time, he looked at Lin One and nodded, "Speak, no need for formalities."

"!!!"

With that, both the new recruits and the veterans' eyes were green with envy.

Was this act of raising his hand really worth an upgrade scroll?

Oh my god, such a rich lord, I love him!

"Thank you, my lord!"

Lin One was overwhelmed with gratitude as he received the scroll.

However, the most important thing was still studying. His father, Mus Baruch, had already poked his back a few times.

He immediately said, "My lord, are native workers like us qualified to come to class? Please don't worry, we won't listen in for free. Everyone from the native workers can deduct it from their contribution points. If you really can't, please let our descendants listen. We'll pay for it."

After he finished speaking, 1,200 pairs of sincere eyes landed on Lin Ye. They seemed nervous as if he was afraid that Lin Ye would reject him.

Lin Ye's heart thumped wildly.

What the heck? What kind of treatment did they receive in the underworld? Was even studying a luxury?

Although he was shocked inside, he still appeared calm and collected on the surface. He nodded and said, "Why not? As long as they are law-abiding citizens in my territory, anyone, from 80-year-old elderly to 6-year-old child, anyone can enjoy the voluntary education in the territory."

Shock!

When they heard this, the crowd was about to explode.

Whether it was the soldiers, native workers, or the blacksmiths who were eavesdropping at the armory.

The vast majority of people were extremely excited.

In the underworld, for the poor and lowly citizens, even if the lord of the territory was gracious and gave them the opportunity to learn, they would have to wait in line for years until the Education Bureau gave them a slot to enter the lowest class for further studies.

Therefore, studying and knowledge were the most precious things to them.

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your kindness has touched the native workers. Their loyalty has increased to 95%!]

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your kindness has touched the attributeless warriors. Their loyalty has increased to 90%!]

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your kindness has touched the blacksmiths. Their loyalty has increased to 91%!]

…..

Hearing the system's continuous congratulatory messages, Lin Ye was stunned.

What was going on? All of them, including the cat-eared chefs and rangers, had given him loyalty above 90%.

Wasn't it just a chance to study? What was the big deal?

For the past two days, I've been distributing upgrade scrolls, equipment, and living supplies to make you loyal but I've never seen you so crazy.

Lin Ye ranted in his heart and smiled. "Don't be too excited. As long as you follow your lord and do your job, there will be more benefits for everyone in the future. Aren't all of you hungry? Nicole, inform all the chefs that it's time to eat!"

"Yes, my lord!" Her lord called her name again. His little fan, Nicole, ran off happily.

Chapter 49: A Wonderful Life Started at Dinner!

Night fell. Compared to the darkness of the other lords' territories, Lin Ye's place was brightly lit.

Previously, when they opened the treasure chest, more than a hundred lighters dropped. It widened the horizons of the people of the underworld.

At this moment, there were bonfires burning every 50 meters around the territory.

That wasn't just an addition of a different color to the pitch-black night.

For patrolling teams, this was the greatest assurance.

At this moment, the center of the territory was bustling with activity.

Thousands of people gathered together, eating beef instant noodles while watching the performance on the platform.

The performers were two girls from the seven human beings that Lin Ye had caught previously.

The tall one was called Chu Meng, and the round-faced one was called Liu Yuan.

Before they transmigrated, they were both sophomores at xx Music Academy. They majored in popular music and had strong foundations.

A familiar song, 'Homeland', set its own unique beauty for their second night of arrival in this strange world.

The cool singing voice lacked the tone of the original singer, but it sounded more sincere.

Lin Ye drank a mouthful of Cola and leaned back on the wooden recliner. His gaze was plain as he quietly listened to the girl's soft singing.

"What is this place that is still so desolate…"

"That endless journey was so long…"

"Every bitter night in this foreign place…"

"In my dreams, I always see myself walking back home…"

The people of the underworld might not be able to relate to the lyrics, but the nine people present, Lin Ye, Zhang Bao'er, and Zhang Liang, and the rest…

All of them were either in deep thought, looking up at the moon, or taking out their Civilization Archive to chat with their families…

Everyone lost the viciousness they had from killing zombies in the day and gained an additional sense of nostalgia for life on Earth.

Along the way, there were other things that interrupted the occasion.

For example, the haunted house in the north. Sounds at night were a temptation for zombies.

Unfortunately, this was not his first night. On the second day, Lin Ye was extremely powerful.

A thousand soldiers meant that even a small zombie wave could be easily crushed, let alone two or three lone zombies.

The zombies that were attracted by the singing were just giving them free experience points.

An hour later, the banquet ended and the different workers returned to their workplaces.

Since everyone had loyalty above 90%, it was pretty normal for them to work overtime.

Furthermore, 3,000 plus people had been added to the territory. Resting at night together would be a huge problem.

The original 200 Level 1 Tents were definitely not enough.

Fortunately, the bunker had leveled up to Level 5.

In the basic construction, the Level 1 tents and fisheries had all been upgraded to Level 2.

According to the description, each Level 2 tent could hold 20 people.

As long as he upgraded all 200 Level 1 tents, the problem of accommodation would be solved perfectly.

Although this would cost a lot, Lin Ye was still generous to his citizens.

If he had to spend, he would definitely not make do anyhow. He fully embodied the words 'extravagant'.

Living and accommodation were basic necessities for the citizens.

It was not easy for him to garner loyalty above 90%. He did not dare to be careless.

He directly spent 20,000 Zombie Souls to exchange for 200 Level 2 tent blueprints.

[Level 2 Tent: 100 Wood, 50 Stone, Blueprint, Intermediate Native Worker]

The modification requirements were met by Lin Ye.

During the day, he had increased all his native worker loyalists to the Intermediate level and there was a total of 197 people.

That was more than enough to upgrade the 200 tents.

Lin One led his team and quickly modified the tents.

Upgrading a building was much faster than construction. The tents would definitely be completed before time to sleep.

As for the warehouses and wooden fences, that was a huge project.

Mus Baruch, the only advanced native worker present, led the 1,000 newly recruited native workers to do it.

He made the fences first and during the day he would bring it to the defense circle and fix it there directly. Simple and easy.

If it was fast, it would take four to five days. If it was slow, it would take only around six to seven days to its completion.

Lin Dachui and Tru weren't idle either. They had both entered a fanatical state.

On one side, Lin Dachui was busy forging equipment in the armory. He made 1,000 sets of light armored shield soldiers' spears and shields, as well as 500 sets of ranger equipment.

That was not an easy task!

Meanwhile, Tru who had overheard Lin Ye's whispers during the day could roughly guess his lord's intentions.

A Class 3 Wolf Cavalry Warrior!

Yes, his lord wanted him to be the core of the team.

The Class 3 Wolf Cavalry Soldiers who have just been recruited would also be given to him to command.

It was fine if he did not know, but after knowing, he was full of 'vigor' and eagerly led his soldiers into the barracks for training.

He wanted to become Class 3 as soon as possible. The position of the commander of the Class 3 Wolf Cavalry Warriors was going to his!

Adelia and Tru were in a similar situation.

However, since she was injured, leading the training of the 900 plus rangers was relatively slower.

She had to rest well tonight. Tomorrow, the Lord promised her that he would let her take her revenge.

She had to kill that Level 4 Venomous Zombie!

Only the chef, Nicole, was wailing.

Before the banquet, she had finally torn open the Advanced Chef Upgrade Scroll which she had been thinking about, and became an Advanced Chef.

However, the food she made was still despised by her lord.

Although her lord consoled her and said that it was his own problem, Nicole, who simply liked to let her imagination run wild, still felt the stress.

She was holed up in the kitchen, studying about Earth's delicacies.

If the other lords were here, they would definitely be able to see it.

At this moment, above her head, the increase in her culinary experience was showing 1 ,1 ,1…

On the other side, Lin Ye was multitasking.

He was leveling up his Heart's Web talent while he chatted with his family using his Civilization Archive.

At the same time, he told his family about the possibility of obtaining a talent by 'killing' someone. He reminded them to be careful, to not publicize it or trust others easily if they awakened their talent.

His younger sister, Lin Wei, accepted the fact readily. His parents on the other hand were unhappy and nagged at him.

Something along the lines of how it was wrong to kill and fight and asked him to tell them honestly if he killed someone.

Lin Ye was so frightened that he instinctively moved his Civilization Archive further away. He only went back online after a while.

"I heard about it. It's hearsay, not from me. I'm so pure and kind-hearted, how could I have done that?"

Lin Ye wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly found a lame excuse to go offline.

A moment later, beams of white light fell from the sky and intersected before they fused into his forehead.

This startling scene did not meet the expected outcome.

During dinner, the atmosphere became heated because of the promise that they will get to study.

Therefore, Lin Ye had given up on pretending to be a god. It was even more pointless now.

The group of native workers, soldiers, and rangers glanced up for a while before they continued working.

In their words, with their lord's unfathomable ability, it was pretty normal for him to have a few upgrade golden, white, and silver beams descending at night.

Don't look at the lord in a plebian way. His lord was the chosen one. It was a good thing that he did not ascend.

Bling! Bling! Bling!!

Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5!

Soon, mysterious energy covered his entire body. With the aid of a large number of Zombie Souls, his new talent, the 'Heart's Web', rapidly upgraded.

His five senses were improved beyond imagination as he stepped into Level 5.

Chapter 50: Friendly Greetings to his fellow Human Lords!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"It actually cost me, 40,000 Zombie Souls to finish leveling up. On average, that's about 10,000 souls per level!"

Lin Ye grimaced.

Even with his wealth, it was still a little overwhelming.

He spent 20,000 Souls upgrading the tents and 5,000 Souls recruiting the beast tamers.

Sure then, the 68,400 Zombie Souls he obtained during the day were basically exhausted.

Fortunately, there was still a small zombie wave. Before tomorrow morning, he would probably be able to convert all of them and earn another hundred thousand Souls.

When he thought of that, Lin Ye felt his stress ease down. His gaze landed on the information of the upgraded talent.

According to the talent description, as long as there was no concealment device or dark fog, his 'Heart's Web' talent at Level 5 was a very strong skill.

It allowed him to see everything within five kilometers clearly.

His sense of smell, hearing and taste buds had all improved greatly.

Of course, what delighted him the most was the ability to read the hearts of his enemies.

He could easily analyze the mentality of humans whose levels were lower than his through their actions and expressions.

To the great lord Lin, this was a miracle.

After the upgrade, he put away his Civilization Archive and looked at the human lords who were standing in a row across the bunker with a smile.

These were all ready-to-use experimental products.

He smiled and said, "Have you guys thought it through?"

"Yes, we've thought it through. We'll stay in your territory and focus on working for you," the eight people replied quickly, their stomachs almost concaving from hunger.

This bastard. He actually made them work for free at the banquet. After using them, he didn't even give them food and even came to the bunker to lecture them. It was too unreasonable.

"That's right."

Lin Ye smiled brightly.

Prey like that?

Dared to scold me?

He would write them down in his notebook and settle the score later!

"Don't be anxious. The kitchen is preparing food for you guys. Let's chat first and familiarize ourselves with each other."

"Other than Chu Meng and Liu Yuan, can the rest please introduce themselves? Name, occupation, and skills."

"Well, I'll go first."

Zhang Liang led the way and coughed lightly. "My name is Zhang Liang. I'm 18 years old this year. I'm a third-year student in XX. My results are excellent. My ability is treasure hunting and a pre-warning system."

Treasure hunting? Warning system?

The others revealed curious looks.

What were those?

Of course, although they found it strange, they did not dare to ask.

Lin Ye looked at Zhang Liang coldly.

Gray emotional particles.

There were also abnormal fluctuations in his heartbeat and expression. The brat had lied again. His identity should be the truth.

That was inborn talent then. This kid was young but he was quite cautious.

Should I kill him and plunder his talent?

"Brother, I'm telling the truth. Don't look at me like that. I'm afraid…" Zhang Liang could not take it anymore and begged for mercy.

"If you don't do things against your conscience, you will not be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. If you don't do bad things, what are you afraid of?"

Lin Ye looked at him kindly. Only when Zhang Liang was sweating profusely and could not take it anymore did he change his target. "Next person!"

Soon, the others spoke one after another.

"Xun Mingyuan, 28 years old. Supermarket warehouse manager. I'm good at tabulating data."

"Niu Wei, 21 years old. Worked in xx City. I'm good at working, fighting, and moving bricks."

"Jiang Gong, 23 years old, a recent graduate of the xx Civil Engineering Department. Special talent is playing League of Legends, table tennis, drawing…"

"Dong Wei, 27 years old, manager of an internet cafe at xx, good at acting cool, repairing computers, magical beast related games…"

"Wang Qiang, 25 years old, xx company excavator driver. Good at driving excavators and basketball…"

…

"Zhang Bao'er, 24 years old, a kindergarten teacher at xx. Things I'm good at… nothing. Are long legs considered?"

"It counts…"

Lin Ye held his forehead.

At this moment, he understood why such a scheming person like that brat would be willing to protect this woman.

She was too white!

With Heart's Web, he would look at the small emotional particles produced by others.

Every emotional particle had a different color.

Those who scolded him would have green particles above their heads!

Those infuriated would have orange-red particles on their heads!

Those deceiving him would have weird gray particles on them!

For those with bad intentions, black would appear. (The purer the color, the worse the person is!)

Those who were kind would have white particles! (Same as above)

Zhang Bao'er's emotions were so white that they were glowing. She was like a piece of glowing jade. Standing in front of her was like standing in front of a mirror.

Looking at her was equivalent to reflecting on oneself.

Wasn't there a saying in his previous life that went like this: If you lacked anything, you make up for it? Treasure Giving Boy lacked morals and was despicable.

With his twisted mindset, he might have developed a twisted love for her, which was why he protected her with his life.

It sounded so much like a comedy romance drama that Lin Ye almost laughed out loud.

He looked at Zhang Bao'er and his eyes lit up. "Kindergarten teacher, that's good. I'll give you a task for tomorrow. Teach those native citizens from the underworld Chinese characters. I will give you contribution points according to the number of people in class each day."

"What are contribution points used for?" Zhang Bao'er was dumbfounded.

What's going on? Why did he assign me a job?

"Ten contribution points can be exchanged for a meal, a night's lodging, and a 10 minute use of Civilization Archive. When your contribution points reach a certain level, I will help you rescue your family," Lin Ye said with a smile.

"I see. Then you have to keep your word. I'll agree to this then." Zhang Bao'er nodded heavily.

After Chu Xiu died, she lost all confidence. There were too many bad people outside who wanted to bully her.

The guy in front of her looked similar to Chu Xiu. He wasn't considered bad. She didn't know how long her brother and mother could last. If he was telling the truth, even if she died of exhaustion, she would help him nurture all the people from the underworld into talents.

"By the way, can you give me a set of basic teaching materials?" She raised her head and asked expectantly.

"…"

Lin Ye rolled his eyes. If I did, why would I ask for your help?

However, this was indeed a problem. He scratched his head and pointed at the others. "The few of you have at least been to university. After this, discuss with each other and compile a simple textbook for reading and writing Chinese characters. As long as the strokes are correct, it will be considered a contribution point. Each useful education method will also be rewarded with 10 contribution points."

"As for Xun Mingyuan, Dong Wei, Wang Qiang… the rest of you, go and help out at the newly built warehouse. Remember, other than the loyalists – Lin One, Tru, and Adelia – the rest needs to be recorded right to the last dot when they go to retrieve supplies from the warehouse."

"Lastly, Niu Wei, Zhang Liang, the two of you help with moving the fishes from the fisheries."

"Why are only the two of us going to transport the fish!" Niu Wei was dissatisfied and objected.

The task of transporting fish was tiring and dirty. After he was done, his body would be filled with the stench of fish. After moving for half a day yesterday, he had vomited a few times.

"You don't know?"

Lin Ye looked at him with a faint smile. "Did you enjoy scolding me in your heart at the start?"

F*ck!

How did this bastard know?

A look of surprise flashed across Niu Wei's eyes. He reacted quickly on the surface and denied repeatedly, "No, definitely not. Don't spout nonsense. I'm the best worker the xx factory evaluates every year. I never curse!"

"You still dare to scold me? You can forget about coming out of the fishery this month." Lin Ye sneered and got someone to take this fellow and Zhang Liang away.

Before he left, he looked meaningfully at Zhang Liang.

Chapter 51: Treasure Chest: Opening 50 In A Row. System's Congratulations!

"Hey, little brother, there's something wrong with this person today. Why do I feel like he can read my mind?"

After leaving the bunker, Niu Wei nudged Zhang Liang's arm and said suspiciously.

"From what you're saying, you really scolded him just now?" Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows as a look of dejection flashed across his eyes.

If that was true, then had his lie just now been discovered as well?

A talent?

But something was wrong. Wasn't the lord's talent the European King's Heaven Fate?

F*ck! A person with two talents?!!

In an instant, Zhang Liang realized a huge secret and subconsciously shivered.

The pair of eyes from just now replayed in his mind.

It was so fierce like it was going to swallow him whole.

[Friendly Hint: Your lord's tolerance for you is decreasing. When it drops to zero, the probability of death will be 99%. The 1% would be nothing short of a miracle!]

[Friendly Hint: Betrayal is equivalent to death. With the current constitution of the Survivor, the probability of escaping the territory is zero!]

[Friendly Hint: Your thoughts are being observed by a higher-level presence. Hint: Talent will be delayed by 10 seconds!]

This was the third time Zhang Liang felt his back drenched in sweat.

He turned around and looked at the bunker. The small, two-story fortress had unknowingly transformed into a black taotie that was roaring at him with an abyss-like mouth.

"Hey, hey, little brother, what are you thinking about? I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense when you go out. People will die." Niu Wei laughed dryly. He had already seen the ferocious expression of the soldier who brought them to the fishery as if he dared admit that he had insulted Lin Ye, the other party would immediately beat him up.

F*ck! That bastard's ability to buy over people's hearts was impressive.

Uttering sour thoughts inwardly, they lowered their heads and went to the fishery with different thoughts.

In a short while, only Lin Ye and Jiang Gong were left in the huge bunker.

Jiang Gong was a graduate of the civil engineering department.

"My lord, is there anything I can do for you?"

Worker Jiang's eyes flickered. He seemed to have realized Lin Ye's intentions and asked respectfully.

"Do you know how to design toilet blueprints? It would be best if it's a large communal toilet." Lin Ye went straight to the point.

He was troubled by this problem. He was still joking with Nicole the night before. Now that his sense of smell had been strengthened by his Heart's Web talent, it was incredibly sensitive. Thousands of people defecated in the empty field a hundred meters away. Even from a distance, he could smell the stench which was unbearable.

He had thought of letting the native workers from the underworld build a house and dig a pit inside to use as a toilet.

Unfortunately, the native workers were restricted by the system and could only build physical objects with blueprints.

Furthermore, if he only dug a pit and did not deal with feces, the smell would still be a major problem.

He did not see any hint about bathrooms in the basic construction blueprints in the bunker. It was ridiculous.

"I can design it, but I need paper and a pen. It's best if there are other measuring tools as well." Jiang Gong nodded.

"There's no need to go through so much trouble. Provide me with a simple one first. If a toilet blueprint drops soon, it will save us from this trouble. There are still many basic tent blueprints left behind from last time, you can draw on the back of those blueprints. Don't look at me, I don't have a pen either. Right now, we are all in a primitive bunker civilization. Use a lighter to burn a piece of wood for a while. After it's carbonized, get Tru to sharpen it for you to use. Put up with this for a while since this is our current condition. We will change it again when the conditions get better."

Lin Ye patted Jiang Gong's back, his eyes full of encouragement, looking like he thought highly of him.

"Well… okay then."

Jiang Gong had a long face. He turned his head back three times with every step. In the end, under Lin Ye's kind gaze, he went out to look for Tru to carve a 'carbonated pencil' for him.

"In this kind of environment, it's a long way to get everything done!"

Lin Ye got up from the wooden chair and looked through the window of the bunker.

Looking at the nightscape of his territory which was getting better by the day, his face was filled with relief. He sighed. "I'm really too awesome!"

"Report!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Lin Ye waved his hand lightly.

A moment later, a burly soldier walked in. It was a familiar face.

Ron was one of Tru's good friends, the one who had failed to advance to a Class 2 soldier.

Among all the loyalists, Lin Ye had a deep impression of him and entrusted him with important tasks.

"Reporting to my lord. Following your instructions, I have recorded all the information about the zombie wave we killed today. Our army has annihilated a total of 1,332 Level 1 zombies, 32 Level 2 zombies, and 9 Level 3 zombies. None above Level 4."

"For battle casualties, none of the Class 2 veterans died. 3 of the new recruits and 2 rangers died. There were129 who were lightly injured and 32 who were seriously injured…"

"We gained a total of 52 sandalwood treasure chests, 9 bronze treasure chests, 2 silver treasure chests, 1 wooden fence blueprint, 1 heavy shield soldier blueprint, and 1 intermediate fishery blueprint…"

Lin Ye nodded to himself when he heard that. You guys were really something. With only five deaths, you guys barely passed.

With that, Ron bowed and said excitedly, "My lord, the drops of the battle have been placed in the newly constructed Warehouse One. Shall we go and take a look?"

"Lead the way."

Lin Ye nodded with a smile. Opening chests was his favorite part.

He hoped to gain something useful.

Soon, the two of them arrived at Warehouse One. The other warehouses were still under construction.

"Greetings, my lord!"

"My lord, you've worked hard!"

"My lord is so professional. You're still here to inspect despite it being so late at night."

Along the way, some native workers would greet them warmly.

Lin Ye responded with smiles and nodded at Mus Baruch, who was building Warehouse Two, before entering the warehouse.

Warehouse One was not big. After all, it was only a Level 1 building. 50 cubic meters of space was barely enough.

After entering, his vision was instantly filled with the glow from the abundant treasures.

"Good lad, there's so many!"

Lin Ye couldn't help but smile. It was time to open the chests.

The territory had 4,000 people now.

The appetite of the soldiers from the underworld was three times that of humans from Earth. Every meal they ate and drank was a huge consumption. The resources that they had gotten previously were only enough for two days.

Fortunately, it was him. If it was anyone else, who would be able to afford this? If he didn't give them food for a day, did you think that these fellows wouldn't betray him?

"I'll have a good time this time, opening 50 in a row!"

Lin Ye laughed and walked to the front of the treasure chests.

Ron and the others looked rough, but they were meticulous in their work. They had long since arranged the three types of treasure chests separately.

52 sandalwood treasure chests were the closest to him, followed by bronze and silver.

With his decades of experience as a single dog, he could unlock them in less than ten seconds.

"You have obtained living supplies—a pack of individually packed nuts!"

"You have obtained living supplies—a bottle of steamed fish soy sauce!"

"You have obtained living supplies—5kg of rice!"

"You have obtained living supplies—a box of potato chips!"

"You have obtained living supplies—5kg of sweet potatoes!"

"You have obtained a white tier armor—Rattan Armor!"

"You have obtained a white tier weapon—Bronze Sword!"

"You have obtained a soldier blueprint—Class 1 Sword Guard!"

…

Before he could look at the 100xReward options, Lin Ye was startled by the system's congratulatory message.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 52: 100xReward, Upgraded!

[Survivor Lin Ye, congratulations on completing your first charge. Godly Talent: 100xReward has reached its maximum charge. Do you wish to level up?]

[Friendly reminder that after leveling up, the third random option will be unlocked!]

"Then I must definitely upgrade it!"

Lin Ye shouted excitedly.

When he was devouring the Heart's Web talent, a third reward option had appeared in the 100xReward. It also indicated that the problem was with charging the bar.

However, the system did not tell him how to charge it.

He had no idea what to do, but now, everything was clear.

The currency for charging was not Zombie Souls, but treasure chests!

Opening treasure chests was equivalent to adding experience points to 100xReward.

As soon as he finished speaking, a nine-colored light beam descended from the sky, passed through the top of the warehouse, and poured into Lin Ye's body.

The native workers, soldiers, rangers, and chefs outside were all shocked by this scene.

If it was an ordinary golden, white, silver or green beam of light, they have seen it all before.

But they had never heard of a nine-colored light.

"Our lord is truly a god!"

Class 3 Priest Gran stroked his beard under the moonlight, looking shocked.

He believed that no one present knew better than him how terrifying a nine-colored light beam was.

He'd once read about it a few years ago in the ancient books from a few eras ago in the Divine Hall's treasure vault.

There was a description of a similar sight. That was the protagonist of the Fifth Epoch, known as the strongest Holy Emperor in the world, Karl. When he upgraded the Kingdom of Light, the divine light which descended was only six-colored too.

Even so, the Holy Emperor of that generation dominated and killed countless human lords, almost defeating the final zombie wave.

Now, his lord had just started his career and was not even considered a stone at the side of the Heaven Kingdom and yet he actually had a divine light that far surpassed the strongest Emperor in history.

Such terrifying potential was truly unheard of.

Fortunately, not many people from the underworld knew about this.

Although 99% of the citizens were surprised, they only praised their lord, saying things like 'the lord is impressive' before they turned back and continued working.

Lin Ye had no idea about that.

However, to his surprise, the Light Priest Gran actually offered his 100% loyalty and became his first priest loyalist.

"This fellow, what is he up to again?"

Lin Ye scratched his head, unable to understand Gran's mind.

Before this, he had hinted that as long as one submitted to him, they would be able to obtain a large number of upgrade scrolls and equipment.

In the end, Gran pretended not to hear him and now, he joined them for no reason.

"Forget it. I'm going to ignore him."

Lin Ye turned his head and focused all his attention on the page with the 100xReward Upgrade.

After absorbing a large amount of the nine-colored divine light, he looked within himself.

A nine-colored crystal the size of a house suddenly floated in the depths of his pitch-black brain. A fist-sized white crystal was floating at its base, circling the nine-colored crystal like a loyal fan.

Lin Ye narrowed his eyes and muttered, "Looks like even talents are divided into their respective classes. My 100xReward is probably of a high class, and this Heart's Web talent is comparatively lousier. It doesn't even have the basic dignity of a talent."

He temporarily ignored the Heart's Web talent and touched the huge nine-colored crystal within his consciousness.

Boom!

The information flooded in.

Talent: 100xReward

Tier: Godly

Level: 2 (Note: For Godly Talents, levelling it up once is equivilant to levelling up normal talents ten times. It breaks a dimension!)

Upgrade Reward: Added the third random reward option (1% chance of triggering 100xReward, European King's Heaven, Unlucky Hell) [Calculated Individually]

To Reach The Next Level: 10,000 Bronze Treasure Chests (Or 1,000 Silver Treasure Chests or 100 Gold Chests)

[Survivor Lin Ye, congratulations on becoming the first human to advance your talent to its second stage in this world. Please take in 100 humans as soon as possible. If you obtain 100 human reputation accomplishment, you can activate the treasure chest exchange function!]

[Treasure Chest Exchange: 10 Sandalwood = 1 Bronze, 10 Bronze = 1 Silver, 10 Silver = 1 Gold, 100 Gold = 1 Platinum, 100 Platinum = 1 Diamond, 100 Diamond = 1 Grandmaster, 1000 Grandmaster = 1 King…]

"Heavens, another 100xReward has been triggered!!!"

Lin Ye's gaze was immediately drawn to the contents of the upgrade reward, and his breathing quickened.

If his understanding was correct, if he was lucky enough, he could get a reward ten thousand times higher!

For example, the maximum reward from a sandalwood treasure chest was purple tier equipment. At his luckiest, it would only be a purple tier equipment.

If he triggered the 1% chance, it would be 100 purple tier equipment.

However, the probability was a little low.

Lin Ye calmed himself down and frowned.

According to the independent algorithm stated in the description, it would be 1% for every choice.

The probability was too low. He might even get the gambler's luck—losing everything.

"From the looks of it, I have to get a 'luck' talent as soon as possible. Only then can I perfectly match the new option given."

Lin Ye thought to himself.

As for the treasure chest exchange function…

He will ignore it for the time being. It was already so late at night. Where would he get 100 humans from? He would think about it tomorrow!

"No matter what, let's try out the new function first."

His gaze turned to the sandalwood treasure chests that he had just opened 50 times in a row.

At this moment, the number of options had changed from two to three.

With 100x Reward, you can choose between:

100 packets of individually packed nuts!10 packets of pistachios!Random Living Supply (1% chance to invoke 100xReward,European King's Heaven, Unlucky Hell)100 bottles of Steamed Fish Soy Sauce!10 bottles of Old Granny Styled Bean Paste!Random Living Supply500 kg of rice!50kg of premium pearl rice!Random Living Supply100 boxes of potato chips10 boxes of Three Squirrel Nut Gift PackRandom Living Supply500kg of Sweet Potatoes50kg of premium Purple Sweet PotatoesRandom Living Supply

….

"I'll take a gamble! Hoping that the bicycle can become a motorbike!"

Lin Ye clenched his teeth as he gritted on.

With the exception to the living supplies he desperately needed which he selected option 1 for,

he choose option 3 for armors and weapons.

After he spoke, the option started showing the different names of the many equipment.

From white tier armor to purple tier armor, hundreds of them flashed by in the blink of an eye.

Of course, 80% of them were white and blue tier armor, while the remaining 20% were purple tier armor.

There were changes to the numbers as well.

For white and blue tiers, it was constantly jumping between 1 to 100. For purple, it was stable. If it wasn't 1, it would be 2.

Three seconds later, the option screen slowly fixated and a few large purple characters appeared.

"You have obtained a purple tier armor—Protector's Armor!"

"Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have triggered the 1% chance for 100xReward!"

"Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have obtained 100 purple tier armor—Protector's Armor!"

"!!!"

Chapter 53: Playboy's Photobook and Chinese Dictionary!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Bang!

Option confirmed.

The first sandalwood treasure chest instantly exploded and spewed out hundreds of purple light balls, blinding everyone in the warehouse.

Within every ball of light was a defensive armor that emitted dense earth elemental power.

His fingers touched it and a notification came.

Equipment: Protector's Armor

Level: Light Purple (Early Class 3)

Effect: Armed with self-protection skill. When faced with life-threatening situations, this skill can be activated. It can effectively block 3 fatal attacks from Level 3 zombies. 10 from Level 2 zombies and 100 from Level 1 zombies.

"Gosh, as expected of me, the wielder of European King's Heaven Fate!"

Lin Ye was so happy that his mouth was about to cramp.

Drawing 100 purple tier armor—Protector's Armor was secondary. The most important thing was the probability of getting it.

One was a 20% chance (The probability of getting a purple tier, without counting the details) while the other was 1% of getting 100xReward and both of them were activated at the same time.

That was such a low probability and yet he was able to directly hit the upper limit of the draw.

That was the same logic of getting 2,000,000RMB after only spending 2RMB.

He felt great!

"Continue, let's continue!"

After the first big drop, Lin Ye got a little carried away and turned to the second, third, and fourth…

He looked forward to seeing what he would get from each of them.

Soon, the reward choices started spinning and a large amount of information was sent over.

"You have obtained 10 Class 2 Blue Tier weapons, Black Forest Sword!"

"You have obtained 1 Class 1 White Tier Armor, Inferior Steel Armor!"

"You have obtained 55 Class 1 White Tier Weapon, Wooden Spear!"

"You have obtained 1 Class 3 Purple Tier Weapon, Dragon Roar Sword!"

"You have obtained 15 Class 2 Tiger Hunting Blade Guard blueprints!"

"You have obtained 90 Class 2 Soldier Upgrade Scrolls!"

"You have obtained 1 Class 3 Attributeless Soldier Upgrade Scroll!"

"You have obtained 45 Class 2 Body Strengthening Pills!"

…

Unfortunately, choosing the third option for the next 35 consecutive times did not go as smoothly as the first time.

There were gains and losses. Thinking about it carefully, 90% of it was losses.

"Impossible! With my European King's Heaven Fate, I can't possibly only get it once!"

Lin Ye's eyes turned red as he once again put his sight on the nine bronze treasure chests.

His fingers touched it.

"You have obtained a Class 2 Blacksmith Upgrade Scroll!"

"You have obtained a Class 2 Blue Tier Weapon, the Nine-Ringed Blade!"

"You have obtained a Class 2 Attributeless Type Upgrade Scroll!"

"You have obtained the blueprint for Class 2 Light Cavalry Soldiers!"

1. 100 dozens of Breeze Brand Toilet Paper!

2. 10 dozens of premium toilet paper!

3. Random brand toilet paper (Same as above!)

….

"What the heck is this? Are the last few a joke!?"

Lin Ye was speechless.

The reward for opening treasure chests was getting more and more ridiculous. What the hell was this elementary school notebook!

However, there were a few that satisfied him.

For example, toilet paper.

It was not considered precious on Earth, but in this world, it was something priceless.

Two days ago, he almost had to wipe his ass with his bare hands.

In the end, he had to grit his teeth and stomp his feet, using the cheapest Level 1 Tent blueprint as toilet paper.

Even with that, it would mean that everytime he did it, it would be equivilant to throwing dozens of Zombie Souls into the pit at once which would be heartbreaking for others.

"I choose option 1 for toilet paper and bullets, option 3 for the rest!"

Swish——

A large amount of Breeze Brand Toilet Paper poured out and Lin Ye got Ron and the others to move them out.

For the time being, Warehouse One was only used to store weapons and equipment. It was managed by his loyalist subordinates. The other living supplies didn't matter as much so he would leave it to Xun Mingyuan and the others to manage. With his talent which acted as a lie detector, they would not dare to embezzle the supplies.

Soon, it began to spin through the other random choices.

The moment it stopped spinning, Lin Ye's smiling face fell.

"You have obtained 35 Class 3 Blacksmith Upgrade Scrolls!"

"You have obtained 89 Class 2 Blue Tier weapon—Nine-Ringed Blade!"

"You have obtained 2 Class 4 Attributeless Type Upgrade Scrolls!"

"You have obtained 5 blueprints for the Class 3 Middle Stage Wind Wolf Cavalry Soldiers!"

…

"You have received 69 University Student Sketchbooks (1,000mm x 1,414mm)"

"…"

Overall, this round was still a 'small loss'!

Lin Ye pursed his lips, feeling upset.

For the sake of his dignity as a gambler, he looked at the last two Silver Treasure Chests.

"F*ck! So be it then. I'll just do it all the way today!"

He waved his hand and opened the two Silver Treasure Chests again.

"You have obtained a Class 3 Purple Tier Weapon—Grenade!"

"You have obtained a Class 3 Artistic Book—Playboy's Photo Collection!"

With 100xReward, you can choose between:

1. 100 Middle Grade Class 3 Weapon—Grenade!

2. 10 Top Grade Class 3 Weapon—Biochemical High Explosion Grenade (Damage increased by 300% against zombies)!

3. Random Weapon [For Class 1 and 2, 30% Chance (Quantity 1-100), For Class 3, 50% Chance (Quantity 1-10), For Class 4, 19% Chance (Quantity 1-3). 1% chance of triggering 100xReward!]

1. 100 Playboy's Photo Collection

"Bleh!"

Lin Ye almost vomited.

Playboy's Photo Collection was considered Class 3, and a literary book???

"You might as well give me a nine-year compulsory education textbook package. It's more convincing than the photo collection."

Lin Ye was very dissatisfied with the reward options arranged by the system.

Wasn't this asking for mistakes to be made?

He chose option 3 easily!

Including the high explosive grenades, he chose option 3. Grandpa Lin didn't care. He wanted to be the European King today!

Charge!

Options confirmed.

Whoosh—

The reward panel rapidly spinned and stopped after a few seconds.

"You have obtained 49 Class 3 Purple Tier Weapon—New Moon Battleaxe!"

"You have obtained a Class 4 Silver Tier Literary Book—Chinese Dictionary!"

At this moment, the system sent another congratulatory message.

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Civilization and culture is the origin of inheritance. You are the first person in the entire world to drop the book with the highest literary value in the world. Everything is inferior compared to education. Please spread the culture of Earth to the entirety of the other world. For every citizen who you aid, it will increase your reputation point by 1!]

[Unlocking Reputation. Unlocking the Reputation Shop. You can obtain more blueprints from the Civilization Architects and participate in various instant kill activities and auctions.]

[Please continue to work hard.. At the same time, thank you for your first recharge. You must work hard!]

Chapter 54: Friend Chat Group?!

As soon as he finished reading, Lin Ye noticed a change in the Civilization Archive's page.

On the tenth page, the originally empty screen suddenly filled up. The first thing that appeared was two golden words.

Reputation Shop!

When his fingers touched the words, it was dark, indicating that it had yet to be unlocked.

[Hint: Requires 100 Reputation Points to unlock!]

"I wonder if I can trigger 100xReward…"

Lin Ye narrowed his eyes. The unlock mission to exchange for treasure chests was also related to reputation points.

He could not help but feel some anticipation towards this newly opened Reputation Shop.

After some thought, he gave up on the idea of immediately finding someone to experiment with.

It was already late and the native workers were still working overtime. The influence that the Chinese characters had on them was not indicated by the system.

Who knew if a night would change the minds of the native workers.

After clearing his thoughts, Lin Ye casually threw the Chinese dictionary and the drawing paper to a subordinate at the entrance and got him to bring the things to Zhang Bao'er and Worker Jiang.

Tomorrow, they would be giving lessons to the native workers. This was a godly item that may be able to increase his reputation points.

The toilet was also of utmost importance.

After the soldier left, his gaze landed on the purple glow and a large number of miscellaneous scrolls on the ground.

Lin Ye rubbed his brows and smiled bitterly. "I got a little carried away. I have to calm down when I encounter such situations in the future."

"Ron."

He waved his hand and pointed at the purple tier equipment and weapons on the ground. He instructed, "Find a reliable person to register and sort them out. Once you're done, report them to me tomorrow morning. It's getting late. I'm going to rest for a while. Inform Tru to rest in shifts and enter Class 3 early."

At this point, he looked at Ron and continued, "You too. Tomorrow, the lord will officially create soldiers which are mainly Class 2 and 3. For soldiers who have pledged their loyalty to me in advance, I hope that you can occupy an important position in the team."

"Therefore, before the reward ceremony tomorrow morning, if you can advance to the late stages of Class 2, I can give you a chance."

Hearing this, Ron flushed with excitement and quickly knelt down to thank him.

"You bastard, it's a good thing this isn't New Year's on Earth. Otherwise, I would have to send you New Year's money."

Lin Ye smiled and waved his hand. He yawned and went to the bunker.

These days, he had been racing against time. He was exhausted and fell asleep as soon as he returned to the bunker.

When he woke up, it was already afternoon the next day and the sun was high in the sky.

"It's so uncomfortable sleeping on this wooden bed."

Lin Ye got up in a daze, feeling his backache.

At this moment, he missed his home's Simmons memory foam pillow.

"My lord, I'll massage your back for you."

The chef, Nicole, was already waiting by the side. She handed him a cup of mouthwash and obediently massaged his back.

"Mm, to the left. Yes, that's the place. Put in more force. Don't be afraid. Your lord is in good health…"

After Lin Ye finished rinsing his mouth, he appeared to be enjoying Nicole's massage on the surface. In fact, he had secretly opened his Heart's Web talent.

Whoosh—

Streaks spread across his territory.

Apart from the places that were hidden, he could also see the voices, breaths, and colors of their emotions.

All kinds of random rustling sounds kept ringing in his ears, ranging from loud to soft ones.

At Barracks One, Tru had panda eyes and was laughing with his hands on his hips.

After that, his body emitted strange red energy.

"Battle aura. Our boss actually produced a battle aura. Impressive!!" Someone exclaimed.

"This can be considered the late stages of Class 2, right? With another Class 3 Soldier Upgrade Scroll, the boss will be able to fly on the spot!" Someone said enviously.

"Hmph, what's the big deal? With so many resources, even a pig can break through to the next level," someone said sourly.

Those were from the new recruits. Every one of them was jealous of the treatment Tru and the others received.

Of course, the result of saying that was obvious.

Tru, this fellow, used his authority for personal wants. He staged a gang fight and taught the new recruits the cruelty of society.

"Fortunately, it was a friendly competition and didn't cause any resentment." Lin Ye nodded inwardly.

His Heart's Web talent allowed him to see the color of emotional particles.

Even though Tru and the others were beating them up, the new recruits only had angry red particles but there were no other dark colors.

That was good.

He could tell that after today, many of the soldiers who had been provoked by Tru would probably fall into his hands again.

He shifted his gaze and remotely monitored Xun Mingyuan, Zhang Bao'er, Zhang Liang, and the others.

Looking at them was fine but he seemed to have discovered a small secret.

Friendship points reached 10?

He could create a new channel in his Civilization Archive?

Good fellow, he was discussing this behind his back.

Lin Ye stole a glance because it was mainly Niu Wei acting out.

This fellow was dissatisfied with the current situation. The fisheries were smelly and tiring. He would rather die than work here.

In the friends' chat.

Niu Wei: "Everyone, have you all forgotten what you felt and wanted to do when we were caught on the first day? We are all lords, so on what basis should we be Lin Ye's lackeys? I propose to restart the plan we had from the day before. When the zombie wave comes, we can escape through the back door. The sky will be as high as the birds can fly. When we go out, we can be like him. Be a lord and raise a cute little chef. If we have nothing to do, we can drink tea and farm. It will be so relaxing."

Chu Meng said, "I don't want to. I think it's good to stay here. As long as I sing a few praises, I can live a carefree life. Also, Lord Lin is so handsome. He was smiling at me yesterday. Is he interested in me? Ah, if he wants to have children with me, should I reject him?"

Liu Yuan: "Stop dreaming. There are so many rangers and chefs, which one of them isn't more beautiful than you? With our lord's handsome and rich persona, I think it will be difficult for you to even be his foot-washing maid."

Xun Mingyuan: "Seconded!"

Niu Wei: "!!!"

Jiang Gong: "1. Speaking of which, what are we having for breakfast today? The beef instant noodles we ate last night were already very nice. I took a screenshot and sent it to the Regional Channel. A group of people was calling me big shot saying how ridiculously awesome it was. Their hatred for me instantly skyrocketed. It was so funny."

Niu Wei: "Hey, hey, hey, are you all listening to me? Can you all respect me a little? Don't be bought over by the enemy's sweet words and things. We are humans, not those native workers outside. We need to have our principles and freedom! Brother Zhang Liang, come out and say something. What do you think?"

Zhang Liang said, "Old Niu, don't drag me into this. I'm currently considering giving all my loyalty to the lord. If you still say all these, I'll be the first to report you."

Zhang Bao'er said, "Count me in. I want to pledge my loyalty to you. Last night, the Lord sent me a Chinese dictionary. I might even become an educator for the people from the underworld."

Niu Wei: "Traitors, f*ck all of you!!"

He was trembling with anger!

What was the point of chatting? Delete this chat!

In an instant, the chat group that had just been created was disbanded.

This farce amused Lin Ye.

Honestly speaking, he understood what Niu Wei was thinking. At least compared to the previous five-man team, this guy had never thought of harming him from the start. It was just his pride acting up. When the protection mechanism disappears today, he would know how wise it was to stay here.

For these types of people, when the time came, there was no way he would be able to get rid of him.

Not worth mentioning at all.

Before breakfast, the thousands of zombie corpses killed yesterday from the zombie wave finally disintegrated.

Chapter 55: New Function: Lord's Archive!

"You have obtained 1,662 Zombie Souls!"

100xReward.

"You have obtained 166,200 Zombie Souls!"

A wave of Souls, delightful!

Lin Ye smiled and kept all the Zombie Souls into his Civilization Archive.

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your bunker's experience bar is full. Do you wish to upgrade it immediately?]

"Upgrade!"

Lin Ye nodded. His experience bar had already been at 29,280 points, so he was only a step away from 32,000 points.

Now that he had converted so many zombies, it would be stranger if he did not level up.

As for the so-called buffs from the system, screw it, it felt like a huge pit.

If he had the time, he might as well level up sooner.

Was Grandpa Lin someone who lacked that little bit of zombie souls?

[Bunker, Level 5 Level 6. Upgrade Time: 12 hours!]

[Friendly Hint: Acceleration Scroll can be purchased. Each Acceleration Scroll will decrease upgrade time by 1 hour!]

[Acceleration Scroll Price: 1,000 Zombie Souls]

"I already said that I'm not short of money!"

Rich Lin, who had just obtained more than 160,000 Zombie Souls, threw down 12,000 Zombie Souls and bought 12 Acceleration Scrolls.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The next moment, twelve consecutive golden beams descended. The original two-storey bungalow was upgraded to a three-storey mansion.

The layout of the bunker had also changed slightly.

Previously, it was relatively simple. There was only the recruitment hall on the first floor and the lord's bedroom on the second floor.

It was different now. The previous two were still there, but there was an additional lord's archive.

The information of the bunker now was as follows:

Territory: Bunker

Level: 6

Range: 6,000 meters

Population Limit: 8,000 [4,000/8,000]

Recruitment Orders: Native Worker Recruitment Order

Level 1 Attributeless Soldiers Recruitment Order

Level 1 Mining Factory Blueprint (Requires 10 Native Workers. Can process 100 units of ore per hour)

Newest Unlocked Function: Lord's Archive!

Bunker Experience Points: 3,280/64,000

"The Archive room. I wonder what it does."

Lin Ye walked to the third floor curiously.

The archive room was huge. It was about 100 square meters and there were a lot of scrolls inside.

He casually flipped through it and realized that it was all information about the people in his territory.

The people at the front were Lin One, Lin Two, Lin Three… Lin Nine. After Lin Nine, the scene changed drastically, and the names started changing.

Lin Shi became Lin Tianhu, and Lin Eleven was also changing. First, he called Lin Tianbao, then Lin Tianying, and finally Lin Tianlong.

"???"

Changing in real time, was it really so advanced?

Lin Ye held the scroll and walked to the window on the third floor to take a look.

As expected, after disbanding the chat, Zhang Bao'er took the Chinese dictionary and went to find the people from the underworld for a class.

Regarding knowledge, the native workers in the underworld were the most enthusiastic. As long as they returned to the territory for their rest time during their shifts, they would all sit around Zhang Bao'er like curious babies and listen to her class seriously.

After the initial simple exchange, Zhang Bao'er suggested changing their names.

Lin One and Lin Nine disagreed, thinking that this name was their honor.

Even if the Lin clan flourished in the future, their names would be engraved at the front of the family tree.

Therefore, their names did not change.

After Lin Shi, there were no such complicated thoughts. They were uneducated and could not wait for Zhang Bao'er to come up with a nicer sounding name.

Which was why this was currently happening.

"Everyone, sit properly. Take your time. If you guys keep squeezing, I won't be teaching this class!"

After Zhang Bao'er showed her authority as a teacher, the native workers immediately became obedient. They sat up straight and raised their hands one by one to request for a name change.

Reputation Point1, Reputation Point1, Reputation Point1…

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Lin Ye stared.

In just a short while, under the Heart's Web talent observation mode, he actually saw the reputation points above Zhang Bao'er's head.

With every change in name, her reputation points would increase by 1-2.

"Why? Why is it that I actually don't get a share of that?!!"

Lin Ye gritted his teeth in anger.

I sent the person and gave the dictionary so why shouldn't I get a share of the reputation point that she was earning?

He asked the system and received the information that he could find the answer for himself and that the answer was in the archive room.

Zhang Bao'er…

There seem to be a file about her as well.

Lin Ye's eyes lit up.

He scanned the archive room. It was temporarily divided into three categories.

On the left were the people from the underworld, at the center were zombies, and on the right were the people from Earth.

Zhang Bao'er was the ninth among the people of Earth, so her file was easy to find.

A moment later, he got his answer and heaved a sigh of relief.

Reputation points had its levels as well!

The relationship between the people of Earth and their lord was that of an employee and their boss.

No matter what the people of Earth obtained in their territory, they had to give 9/10 of it to their lord.

The reason why he did not obtain any Reputation Points immediately was because the system had set a minimum limit on the number of Reputation Points before it can be split.

The Reputation Points that the people of Earth earned had to be above 100 points before it could be split.

Zhang Bao'er had only changed two or three names. The native workers were very careful with changing their names. It would still take a while before they 100 of them changed their names.

"Alright, I will wait a while more. It should be able to reach 100 by today."

Lin Ye looked forward to it. Once he split the points, he might trigger 100xReward and activate the Reputation Shop immediately.

For the time being, he had nothing to do. He activated his Heart's Web talent. With the bunker upgraded to Level 6, his Heart's Web talent could be upgraded again.

After spending 18,000 Zombie Souls, a white divine light descended from the sky.

Bathed in the light beam, Lin Ye felt his five senses improving again.

Everything within six thousand meters of his territory was under his perception.

"This ability is too strong!"

Lin Ye sighed contentedly.

As long as he was in his territory, he was like a god!

As a god, his knowledge still needed to be supplemented.

He walked straight to the shelf where the zombie files were placed and opened the first file to take a look.

There were four types of zombies recorded on it: Level 1 Slow Zombies, Level 2 Swift Zombies, Level 3 Supervisor Zombies (Those wearing suits), and Level 4 Venomous Zombies.

"They only have information on those I've seen before."

Lin Ye understood. This was similar to the monster cards in other games. The more information he collected, the better he would know his enemy.

Forget about Level 1, 2, and 3. He had already killed many of them with the exception of Level 4.

The day before yesterday, Adelia led Zhang Liang to find a treasure chest and suffered greatly from the Venomous Zombie.

He had promised Adelia that he would avenge her today.

Thinking about that, he opened the information about the Level 4 Venomous Zombie first.

Zombie: Venomous

Level: 4

Special Characteristics: Cunning, Concealment, Ambush

Strengths: Corpse poison is strong and they can kill Level 3, 4 Soldiers. Long-range attacks (Venom range separated into early, middle, late stages, from 5-15 meters)

Weaknesses: Body is fragile, equivalent to an ordinary Level 3 Zombie.

Sure-Kill Skill: Venom Self-Explosion!

[Before dying, it will detonate itself. Venom will cover a radius of 30 meters. Anyone below Class 4 will be instantly killed.]

"It does look a little like what Adelia encountered." Lin Ye smiled.

That put him at ease. The only thing he needed to take note of was the zombie's Sure-Kill Skill.

However, he had powerful long range units.

As long as he cured Adelia well, combined with his Heart's Web talent, they would be able to kill the Venomous Zombie from afar.

At the mention of treatment, he could not help but think of the Light Priest Gran, who became loyal to him for no reason last night.

Chapter 56: Rewarding based on merit! Treasure Conference!

"It's not like I can't give him a chance!"

Lin Ye put down the Venomous Zombie's file, and a glint flashed across his eyes.

Loyalty was irreversible. No matter what that guy was thinking, as long as he offered 100% loyalty, he would become one of them.

He was never stingy towards his own people.

After staying in the archive for a while more and realizing that there was no other value of use, Nicole called Lin Ye down for mealtime.

Breakfast was a scrumptious one. Milk egg drop soup and the underworld's version of steamed buns with pork. There was also a bowl of beef bone soup.

To be honest, the taste was much better than yesterday and the day before.

After all, as an Advanced chef, her innate capabilities were clear. Even in this world where seasoning was scarce, the food she made was still awesome.

However, the Lin Ye today was not the same as yesterday. With his Heart's Web talent upgraded to Level 6 this morning, his five senses had been strengthened. His taste buds became extremely picky.

"Mm, there's 1g too much salt, a little over the tolerance limit of the body. The same goes for the milk egg drop soup. There's 5g too much lard. Although it tastes softer and smoother, eating too much will increase your weight and won't be good for your health."

"For the steamed buns with pork, the buns are a little hard but this can't be helped since those came from a treasure chest. Who knows if those were processed? On the other hand, the pork wasn't marinated sufficiently long and was too dry. It didn't meld perfectly with the cat-eared sauce."

"For the entire course, I would give it a 7 point which is already not bad."

Lin Ye chewed as he critiqued the food.

"I will work hard and strive to get a perfect score from the lord as soon as possible!"

Chef Nicole's eyes welled with tears. She might have improved, but her lord was improving faster.

Not being able to keep up with her lord's progress was a bad sign.

With his lord's wealth, he might even recruit the mortal enemies of the cat-eared chefs in the future.

That was the Sanzhi clan which was given the title of gourmet by the underworld. It was ranked alongside the cat-eared chefs as the main chefs in the underworld.

The threat was too great.

Therefore, at this moment, not only was the female chef not discouraged, she even felt extremely motivated.

All their beliefs melded together: No matter what, they must not let the Sanzhi clan replace the status of cat-eared chefs in this territory!

"Nicole, don't worry. You were the first to follow me. Naturally, you will get your share of the benefits. If I get the recipe of Earth's eight greatest menus when I open a treasure chest, you'll be the first one I reward that too," Lin Ye said with a smile.

He already dropped a Chinese dictionary and playboy's photobook so he was already immune to weird drops. It should be possible for recipes to drop as well.

After a few days of contact with his people, he had already understood the rules for the advancement of the various major groups.

The advancement of native workers required them to build a large number of buildings. Their experience points came from construction.

Following that reasoning, soldiers gained experience points from training and battles.

Of course, they were comparatively more complicated and had higher demands for their innate talent.

For those with stronger innate talents, their experience would increase faster compared to ordinary soldiers even with the same duration and training intensity.

That point was reflected in Tru.

Although the other recruits complained that Tru was the lord's lackey and had benefited most from the lord's resources, why didn't they use their brains a little?

Tru was the young master of a clan after all. In their world where bloodline culture was rich, his combat talent could definitely be ranked amongst the top in his clan.

Otherwise, he would not have reached the peak of Class 2 so quickly.

Seeing how hardworking he was, he would reward him with a few Class 3 and 4 upgrade scrolls later to see if he could become the first Class 4 soldier in the territory.

With that in mind, he dismissed Nicole and the joyful breakfast time passed.

The thousands of soldiers outside had long since finished their meals. In terms of efficiency in cleaning their meals up, they far surpassed Lin Ye, even licking the soup pot dry.

It was evident that the culinary skills of the cat-eared chefs were still popular among the people of the underworld.

With good food and good rest,

Under the morning sun, satisfied smiles appeared on everyone's faces, increasing their loyalty towards Lin Ye by about 1%.

The average was currently 93%!

"Not bad." The corners of Lin Ye's lips curled up into a smile.

He had already sensed that the various soldiers had gained a stronger sense of belonging to their territory.

In just one morning, another 40 plus people became loyalists.

In a while, he could reward them for their contributions and excite them a little. In that way, he could initiate a large-scale leveling of his people.

The number of Class 2 and 3 soldiers increased.

The Class 3 Protector's Armor and Class 3 New Moon Battleaxe that dropped last night would be useful.

After lunch, Ron reported the numbers which he had gathered from the warehouse to Lin Ye.

Lin Ye took a look and instructed him to move all the treasures onto the platform.

"Wow, so much purple tier equipment!"

"I know those. They are early-stage Class 3 Protector's Armor and a mid-stage Class 3 New Moon Battleaxe produced by Ultima City!"

"Oh my god, those golden scrolls at the back are all upgrade scrolls, right? There are so many of them. There seem to be ones with Class 3 and 4 runes too!"

"It's not just the upgrade scroll. If you look further behind, could that porcelain bottle contain Body Strengthening Pills?!"

"Oh my god, the lord is too generous!"

"My lord, I love you. Give it to me, give it to me please!"

Below the platform, the citizens of the underworld who had just finished their breakfast and were chatting suddenly fell into a frenzy.

All of them squeezed under the platform with flushed faces.

Just like those crazy die-hard fans on Earth who attended their idols' concerts, they cheered crazily.

"Silence!" Lin Ye waved his hand.

With what happened last time, even the new recruits did not dare to go against the rules.

Since the Lord had spoken, they had to obey.

Whoosh—

The crowd immediately fell silent. Even though their faces were flushed red and wished that they could rush up to the platform and snatch all the equipment and upgrade scrolls.

At this moment, they had to endure obediently and looked at their lord with fanaticism.

"Everyone."

Lin Ye spoke, drawing everyone's attention.

Fortunately, his throat had also been strengthened. Even though his voice was not loud, it spread far and wide. He said in a clear voice, "Originally, the reward for today's work should be in the afternoon, but because everyone has fought with the zombie wave yesterday, all major working groups worked overtime. This is the first time everyone is working overtime in shifts."

"Therefore, in order to reward everyone, I've decided to give everyone the benefits in advance."

"Long live our Lord!"

"Long live our Lord!"

Waves of cheers sounded from below.

"Alright, I know. But just living long is not enough. Remember to say 'live beyond ten of thousands of years' next time."

Lin Ye teased and continued, "Let's cut the crap. As per the old rules, loyalty takes priority. If you become a loyalist, you will be rewarded unconditionally. Your contribution will be ranked in the top ten."

"My lord!" At this moment, someone among the new recruits raised his hand.

"Please go on." Lin Ye nodded.

"My lord, if there are too many loyalists and the equipment and upgrade scrolls are all distributed, what will happen to the top ten contributors like us?"

The person asked pitifully.

Coincidentally, he was one of the newcomers who killed the most enemies yesterday.

After his lord's promise last night and the delicious breakfast that morning, he was satisfied with the new territory and his lord.

However, when it came to equipment and upgrade scrolls, there were too many people sharing too few rewards. He did not dare to take the risk and could only voice his worries in advance.

Chapter 57: Obtaining Three Main Character Level Generals!!

"There are three ways."

Lin Ye looked straight at the newbie soldier and said with a smile, "The first option is for you to keep your contribution points for the next time. The following time, you will have the same priority as the loyalist. Of course, if two soldiers choose the same treasure, the loyalist will still take precedence with the final say."

"Don't get disheartened just from hearing that. After three or four rounds, you will definitely be able to obtain the treasure or upgrade scroll that you want. This is my promise to you as your lord."

"The second type is a payroll system. If you didn't get the equipment you want and don't want to keep the contribution points, you can exchange them for Zombie Soul. Whether you send it back to your family or ask someone to buy it from the underworld, that's up to you."

"Thirdly, I personally recommend you to choose this method. You can choose to be a loyalist. A warrior as brave as you is the most needed talent in the early stages of the territory. I will provide you with the best resources for free. You can use Tru and Ron as a reference for this."

At that, Tru raised his chin proudly among the soldiers.

Boom!

The next moment, a layer of orange-red battle aura appeared around his body.

Although it could not leave his body yet, it had already taken its basic shape. To a Class 1 or 2 soldier, having it would make them a big shot.

At the same time, Ron walked forward with eagerness and excitement on his face.

Last night, with the encouragement of his lord, he converted his grief into strength and trained crazily.

Together with the upgrade scroll that the lord had given him, he finally successfully advanced to a Class 2 soldier.

At this moment, he understood his lord's intentions. Just like Tru, he wanted to establish his military might through force and give these new recruits a push.

Clang—

The long saber left his side.

His gaze was as sharp as an eagle. His energy converged on a single point and instantly exploded.

Boom!

The saber gleamed like shining silk and a layer of invisible green energy gathered on the surface of the saber.

The long saber tore through the air and instantly cut through the wooden block that was as thick as a water bucket.

"Wind type Battle Aura!"

"Oh my god, even Ron has advanced. I remember that he used an upgrade scroll yesterday and failed!"

"He's different now. Not only has he broken through to Class 2, but he has also awakened his battle aura. Advancing to Class 3 is only a matter of time!"

"In my opinion, it's all thanks to our lord. Our lord is really good to his loyalists. That trash Ron probably wasted a few upgrade scrolls."

Soon, exclamations of admiration and envy sounded from below.

The newly recruited soldier was no exception.

He felt that his talent was definitely not inferior to Tru and Ron, but because they joined the lord a day earlier than him, they were so much stronger than him now. All of them had broken through to the next class and could even enjoy high-level equipment for free.

As expected, the Class 3 Protector's Armor, the Class 3 New Moon Battleaxe, and the Class 3 upgrade scrolls were prepared for them.

Damn it!

It felt like it wasn't too much anymore!

He silently panicked.

Before this, he had already secretly counted.

Among the veterans from the previous day, there were about twenty soldiers who were loyalists.

However, this morning, many people's attitudes had changed drastically. 80% of them probably increased their loyalty to 100%.

If this number exceeded 100, he would be doomed.

Furthermore, he was not a fool.

In the distance, the Level 3 Breeding Field was preparing to recruit a large number of Earth Wolves and Wind Wolves.

Even if Gu Jiang didn't spread the news around, he could guess his lord's intentions.

To create two of the major Class 3 Wolf Cavalry Soldiers!!

In this situation, the person who broke through to Class 3 first would undoubtedly have a higher chance of being chosen.

The other idiots probably did not understand this.

However, he knew very well.

According to the notes left behind by his ancestor, humans had to develop step by step in the early stages. They must not fall behind in the first few weeks.

Otherwise, they would forever stay at the second, third, or even eighth or ninth tiers, gradually being marginalized.

And the result of that marginalization was becoming cannon fodders.

He, Luo Feng, was the top genius of the Luo clan warriors. How would he willingly let himself be reduced to an ant!

Moreover, the first two of the three choices given by the lord were basically non-existent.

The first option would delay when he would be able to obtain the equipment and upgrade scrolls. One rotation slower and he would fall behind, let alone three or four rotations.

The second option to exchange for Zombie Souls to buy the item from the underworld would result in the same delay as above.

Heavens, do you know how expensive the equipment and upgrade scrolls in the underworld are?

Resources were scarce and all of them were sold at astronomical prices.

If he were to use Zombie Souls to buy it, he would probably have to risk his life for months before he could even afford one.

And it would be the kind that was of the correct class but was something he did not prefer.

In summary, if he wanted to not fall behind and become strong, he only had one choice!

Luo Feng clenched his fists as his heart wavered.

During this time, his eyes were bloodshot as he watched loyalists walk up the platform one after another. Under the amiable praise of the lord, they were given the Class 3 Protector's Armor, the Class 3 New Moon Battleaxe, and the most important upgrade scrolls and Body Strengthening Pills.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Moments later, the upgrade scrolls were torn apart one after another.

There were a total of 100 newly leveled Class 2 soldiers and 39 Class 3 soldiers.

If a meticulous person were to take a closer look, 99% of these 39 people were loyalists who had served their lord since the first day.

It was evident that the lord had secretly given special treatment to those who were loyal to him right from the start.

"Hahaha, I've entered Class 3!"

"Boss, do you want to compete? I feel that my wind attribute battle aura can do long-range attacks!"

Not far away, Tru and Ron laughed and even sparred in their excitement.

A moment later, saber and swords clashed, and streaks of orange-red and cyan battle auras danced in the air.

A few of them landed at the feet of Luo Feng and the other strongest new recruits, either intentionally or unintentionally.

Gasp!

The ground was instantly sliced through like an iron plow, and a fine gap was cut open by the sword's and saber's qi.

"Is this the power of a high-level Class 3!?"

Desire flashed across the eyes of Luo Fei and the others.

If it was according to the normal training methods in the underworld, they would have to spend at least five years, or even up to seven to eight years to complete the difficult training process of awakening, absorbing, condensing, and releasing their battle aura.

But now, in less than two days, Tru and the others had obtained the results which would take seven to eight years of arduous training in the underworld.

Nothing could attract a warrior's attention more than seeing the results with his own eyes.

In a short while, more than 40 Class 3 soldiers appeared once again. The upgrade scrolls and equipment were getting scarce.

For example, there were only 49 Level 3 New Moon Battle Axes and they had all been given out.

Only about ten sets of Protector's Armor remained.

If he hesitated any longer, there might not even be anything left.

Luo Feng and the others exchanged glances with one another as determination flashed across their eyes. They all knelt down and offered their loyalty to Lin Ye.

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Class 1 Warrior, Luo Feng, has become 100% loyal to you!]

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Class 1 Warrior, Su Yu, has become 100% loyal to you!]

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Class 1 Warrior, Xu Que, has become 100% loyal to you!]

…

"Good, good, good." Delight flashed through Lin Ye's eyes.

He had read through the files of these three strongest newly recruited soldiers in the archive room and had been observing them for a long time.

Listen to their names. They were full of class. They were all the main characters in the books from his previous life!

With all of them submitting to him, in future battles, who could compare to him!!

Chapter 58: The Four Sacred Halls!

"Warriors, please rise!"

With a smile on his face, Lin Ye said like a spring breeze, "We are brothers, there is no need to be so polite. Come, take a look at the treasures on the platform and choose whatever you want."

The three of them pretended to be in thought. Then, Su Yu, who was the most shameless, spoke first. He smiled honestly and said, "My lord, I'm not shameless. You can just give me anything. It's best if you can gift a Class 3 Protector's Armor, a Class 3 Dragon Roar Sword, 5 Level 2 Body Strengthening Pills, and a Level 3 Body Strengthening Pill. That's all for now. I'm not that picky."

F*ck!

You shameless bastard, you call this giving you anything random?

Not picky?

There was no need to talk about the Protector's Armor and the New Moon Battleaxe. They were mid to low-grade Class 3 armor, and there were many of them.

Tier 3 Dragon Roar Sword was a top-notch purple tier weapon.

It was the only one in the entire pile, and many people were staring at it. How dare he ask for it directly with his thick face.

All the Class 3 soldiers present, including Tru, Ron, and the other older brothers, as well as the newly added Luo Feng looked over coldly.

"Hehe, everyone, don't look at me like that. Did I say something wrong? If I did, I'll apologize."

Su Yu laughed and scratched his head, looking innocent and innocent.

"My lord, I want what Su Yu wants too. He's weaker than me. I think I'm more qualified for it."

At this moment, Xu Que walked out pretending to be deep in thought. He looked around and said provocatively, "Mr Su, as well as everyone else present, I'm not targeting anyone. I view those of the same cultivation level as me like trash. If you aren't convinced, come out and fight. Let's see if I won't crush your brains."

As soon as he said that, everyone exploded.

"You arrogant brat!"

"Rude brat, beat him up!"

Tru was so angry his mouth was turning crooked. Was that what humans should say?

If he didn't want to be a human, he should be beaten to death with a stick.

With that, the group rushed forward.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be rash. I didn't badmouth you guys. I scolded people who were of the same class. You're all Class 3… Ah, my eyes, f*ck! Who stole my monkey… If you continue to be rash, I'll retaliate… Brother, stop hitting me, stop, please. I was wrong. I'll admit it. I'm the trash…"

After a round of beating up, Xu Que lay on the ground with a swollen face. Su Yu even secretly stepped on him.

On the other hand, Luo Feng stood on the spot with a serious expression, completely unaffected.

Lin Ye burst out laughing in his heart as he watched from the side. He glanced at Luo Feng from the corner of his eye and asked, "Luo Feng, what about you?"

"I think you can give the Dragon Roar Sword to Xu Que."

Luo Feng said calmly, "Although that guy has a foul mouth, his strength is passable. He is also a genius in the way of sword and is more suitable than Su Yu or me. Furthermore, with the support of the Dragon Roar Sword, as long as he can advance to Class 2, he will even be able to cross classes to easily defeat Class 3 soldiers who have leveled through the upgrade scrolls."

"The difference in strength is that great?" Lin Ye was shocked.

He only had a slight understanding of the different combat strengths of the underworld.

Simply speaking, it was ranged between Class 1 and Class 9.

Talented Class 2 soldiers who could awaken their battle aura were extremely talented. Genius-level soldiers on the other hand could awaken their battle aura at the early stages of Class 2.

Then there was the Class 3, Battle Aura, Magic, and various elemental powers that could be used for external attacks.

That was all he knew.

After all, the strongest soldier in his territory was only Adelia, who was at the peak of Class 3.

As an outsider, he naturally did not know about the details of the innate battle capabilities between different classes.

"It's not just a large difference, but a massive one."

Luo Feng nodded and explained, "The upgrade scroll is energy bestowed by the Gods. Although it is magical and can directly increase a warrior's level regardless of their innate talent, it is after all not something that you obtained through personal cultivation. When compared, its combat power was the weakest among those of the same class."

"Therefore, in the underworld, the most talented disciples of each race are always restricted from using upgrade scrolls."

"Although this will slow down their cultivation speed, the upper limit of their future accomplishments will definitely be several notches higher than that which was achieved through upgrade scrolls."

"I see."

Lin Ye came to a sudden realization.

No wonder Luo Feng and the others did not choose the upgrade scroll but the Body Strengthening Pill instead.

In their eyes, the upgrade scroll just levels them up but the Body Strengthening Pill would enhance their battle aura and combat capabilities.

There was a huge difference between the two.

However, this would disrupt his plans.

He could not help but ask, "Is there no other way to solve this problem?"

He had high hopes for the trio, thus he hoped that they could break through to Class 3 as soon as possible.

The efficiency of using the Body Strengthening Pill was far inferior to using the upgrade scrolls.

"In a world ruled by gods, everything has its ways. According to rumors, there are two effective ways to solve it."

Luo Feng looked at the rising sun and said longingly, "The first is the legendary four Sacred Halls – the War God Hall, the Demon Hall, the Elevation Hall, and the Reflection Hall. These four Sacred Halls all possess all sorts of unimaginable magical energy. As long as you pass the levels in the Sacred Hall, not only will you obtain great power, you will also obtain pure divine water."

"The greatest use of the water is to purify the impurities left behind by the upgrade scroll."

"It will allow the body to return to the heavens and erase all the impurities from their past."

"The second type is more complicated. You need to exchange blood. Use the incomparably powerful blood of magical beasts and switch it with your own to obtain the innate talent and strength of the magical beasts. During the blood exchange, one can remove the drawbacks caused by the upgrade scroll. For example, in Dragonblood City, the Baruch clan is the best blood exchange warrior."

"Four Sacred Halls and the exchange of blood!" Lin Ye made a mental note of these two methods.

He had no choice but to wait until he had the strength to deal with the top magical beasts.

On the other hand, he was a little curious about the four sacred halls. He asked, "Where are the four sacred halls? Do you know?"

"That I know."

Su Yu interrupted with a smile, "There are relevant records in the ancient books of my clan. It is said that on the fourth day after the humans descended, which is the moment the protection mechanism that the Gods placed on humans disappeared, the four sacred halls will randomly appear in various territories."

"It will only be there for one hour per day. Its location does not follow any pattern. If you're lucky, the sacred hall might appear in the lord's territory. However, if one was unlucky, it might also appear at a place where the Haunted House was spawned. It would be a waste of an opportunity. In the early stages, the probability of the latter happening is higher."

"That makes things easier."

Lin Ye clapped his hands and casually threw out a few Class 2 and 3 upgrade scrolls. He handed them to the three of them and said confidently, "Don't worry and use them. The Heart's Web talent of this lord is most suited for finding the sacred hall. By this time tomorrow, we should have already conquered the first Haunted House. At that time, finding a sacred hall will be as easy as playing."

"My lord, is this… true?"

Luo Feng swallowed, as his calm expression finally broke, revealing a pleasant surprise.

You had to know, he had chosen to become a loyalist because he was afraid of being left behind.

He longed for the advancement of his strength more than anyone else.

Originally, he thought that as long as he advanced to Class 2, he would be able to fight with Tru and the others for a spot among the Class 3 Wolf Cavalry Soldiers.

However, things were different now. If he could use a simple upgrade scroll and clear any problems left by it, that would be for the best.

"Be confident. Remove the question in that sentence.'"

Lin Ye patted Luo Feng's shoulder and said, "Lad, in the future when you follow me, you have to get used to trust me. I am not some trash who only knows how to boast, but a true king!!"

After saying this, he tapped on Luo Feng's forehead.

Whoosh—

Invisible ripples proliferated, instantly engulfing everything within a radius of 6,000 meters.

Chapter 59: Mass Levelling! Depleted Resources!

"This… this is!" Luo Feng was flabbergasted.

With Lin Ye's help, his vision seemed to have changed. It felt like he was looking from the perspective of a deity.

Within a radius of six thousand meters, as long as there was no dark fog, everything was visible.

From big and imposing bunkers to tiny ants on the ground.

To the patrolling guards far away and the native workers who were working overtime to build a wooden fence defense circle two thousand meters away…

To the Zhang Liang who was close by, fishing in the fisheries by the river… This was insane…

Everything was reflected in his eyes.

"Do you get it now?" Lin Ye withdrew his index finger with a calm expression.

This was the advantage of having his Heart's Web talent upgraded to Level 6. He could now share his perspective with others at close proximity, provided that the other party did not resist his intrusion into their consciousness.

In other words, other than loyalists, few people could accept this intrusion so freely.

On the other side, Luo Feng's body stiffened as he nodded. He had yet to recover from this shock.

This kind of god's perspective was simply… magical.

It was the best skill, be it surveillance, search, or observation.

With it, the success rate of searching for the four Sacred Halls tomorrow was almost 99%.

Thinking of this, Luo Feng trembled in excitement and he let out a roar, "I, Luo Feng, to have met my lord, promise to definitely surpass my ancestors!!"

"Bootlicker!"

Su Yu rolled his eyes, speechless.

Even the upright Boss Luo in his eyes had become someone like Tru.

It was not only unexpected but also unbelievable.

"What's going on?"

Xu Que had also finished showing off. He patted the dust off him and looked strangely at Lin Ye and Luo Feng.

"Come, come, come. Your lord is giving out freebies. I'll let you guys experience the realm of gods."

Lin Ye waved his hand and gave the three main characters a taste of his Heart's Web talent one by one.

Before Su Yu could say anything, Xu Que's eyes lit up.

He winked and revealed a knowing look as if it was a public secret. He said cunningly, "My lord, remember to bring me along the next time you see something good. I'll help you evaluate it. I don't dare declare anything else, but when it comes to women, if I say I'm second, no one would claim to be the first."

"Scram, what are you thinking about all day long? Is the lord that kind of person? Do you know what it means to avoid things that are not of propriety? Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you."

Lin Ye cursed as he retracted his talent, not giving this bastard a chance.

Otherwise, with this fellow's courage, he would really dare to have impure thoughts towards the rangers and chefs.

At the same time, he made up his mind.

If any books about filial piety or benevolence dropped, he would make Zhang Bao'er teach it to them.

This way, not only would it increase his reputation, it would also allow the overall quality of the people from the underworld to increase rapidly.

Perfect!

After dealing with the problem with the upgrade scrolls, Luo Feng and the others no longer had any scruples. They accepted the Class 2 and 3 upgrade scrolls from Lin Ye one by one.

Of course, the other seven warriors ranked in the top ten of the contribution rankings did not fall behind either.

The ten of them tore the upgrade scrolls open one by one. Immediately, under the shower of the golden light for the upgrade, they rapidly transformed.

"Impressive, Luo Feng's talent is so high. He has only broken through the early stages of Class 2 and has already awakened his battle aura. The quality of his battle aura seems to be very high!"

Tru narrowed his eyes and gasped.

"Su Yu's not bad either, second only to Luo Feng."

"Hold on, brother. That bastard Xu Que is powerful too. He's almost at the same level as Su Yu and Luo Feng. When they reach Class 3, even if the few of us old veterans join forces, we won't be his match. We beat him up so badly just now, and someone even stole his monkey. Will he take revenge on us afterward?" Ron said with a worried expression.

"Bullsh*t, we were the ones who beat him up, but I clearly saw what happened with the monkey. It was that black-hearted brat Su Yu. What does it have to do with us?" Tru also thought of that and cursed with an ugly expression. His voice was loud, and it was unknown if he was doing that so that Xu Que could hear.

As expected, once that statement dropped, Xu Que looked at Su Yu with an unfriendly expression.

"What are you looking at? That bastard is clearly trying to sow discord between us. For you to not even have the ability to tell right from wrong, I'm embarrassed to be associated with a fool like you!" Su Yu's face was filled with righteousness as if he had been greatly wronged as he berated angrily.

"Whether you did or not, you won't be able to run. In any case, you've done a lot of dirty things before!"

Xu Que grumbled and narrowed his eyes as he swept his glance over Su Yu, Tru, and the others.

The meaning behind his glare: Just you wait. This Xu will remember this!

"Cut the crap and focus on leveling up," Lin Ye urged from the side.

Now was the best time to level up. They should not be interrupted.

With that, all of them shut their mouths and started to seriously absorb the golden light to level. At the same time, they ate Body Strengthening Pills in large mouthfuls.

The three of them were different from other warriors. Their bodies had a much higher potential. Just the golden upgrade light was unable to provide sufficient energy for them to advance to Class 3.

Coincidentally, these Body Strengthening Pills would come in handy. They would increase their combat power and strengthen their physique.

Even if they advanced to Class 3 through the golden upgrade light, their strength would far surpass Tru and the others.

As they were absorbing the essence from the pills.

During this time, more than a hundred soldiers and rangers could not resist the temptation of equipment and upgrade scrolls and offered their 100% loyalty.

Lin Ye was generous. He took out his 'savings' and distributed the remaining 200 Soldier Upgrade Scrolls.

His luck was pretty good. The success rate was 70%, and the territory gained over 60 Class 2 soldiers and 40 Class 2 rangers.

Including the previously leveled soldiers, there were a total of 155 Class 2 soldiers.

He distributed the 89 Class 2 Blue Tier Nine Ringed Blade and 10 Class 2 Blue Tier Black Forest Swords to the 99 soldiers who had advanced to Class 2.

For those that did not get any, they would temporarily use Class 1 White Tier equipment. Although the tier was not high, it was better to have both armor and weapon.

From there, all Class 1 and 2 equipment were used up.

On the other hand, it was a little awkward on the Class 2 rangers' side. Very few bows and arrows dropped from the treasure chests.

Up till now, they were all using beginner bows made free of charge by the Level 1 Armories.

But that was okay.

This time, a large number of Armory and Blacksmith Upgrade Scrolls dropped. He had already gotten the blueprint for the Blue Tier weapon – Crossbow.

It was a good opportunity to increase the level of forging in his territory.

He immediately called for the territory's chief blacksmith, Lin Dachui.

"My lord, you finally remembered me!"

Previously, Lin Dachui had been impatient when he saw the large number of soldiers advancing in class.

For this, he even spent a lot of effort to get the elites in his tribe to offer their loyalty for Lord Lin.

All for today.

"Even if I forget everyone, I won't forget you."

Lin Ye chuckled. He had long seen the process of Lin Dachui brainwashing his clan's blacksmiths through his Heart's Web talent.

After so many provocations, the number of blacksmiths who became loyalists was only second to the native workers.

From the initial ten people, it had grown to more than three hundred people. It was terrifying.

He was nevere petty towards loyalists.

He took out 100 Level 2 Armory Upgrade Scrolls and 300 Blacksmith Upgrade Scrolls and distributed them to the chief blacksmith, Lin Dachui.

For this mass leveling up, once the Armory reached Level 2, it would provide some free blueprints for Level 2 early-stage Blue Tier weapons so that all the soldiers could change their equipment.

At that time, even if he did not count the hundred or so Class 3 soldiers,

Just the thousands of Class 1 soldiers wearing Class 2 equipment could easily crush a beginner Haunted House!

Chapter 60: The First Class 4 Powerhouse!

The leveling of the armories and blacksmiths was a spectacular sight.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Hundreds of golden upgrade beams landed on the ground, engulfing the western part of the territory in golden light.

Lin Dachui and the other blacksmiths were bathed in golden light as their forging experience skyrocketed.

Forging100! Forging100! Forging100!

….

Moments later, 197 people advanced to Intermediate Class.

Lin Dachui and his trusted aides, who were originally intermediate blacksmiths, followed closely behind and successfully advanced to advanced blacksmiths.

They were considered back-end workers and had a higher rate of advancement than the soldiers. As long as the conditions were right, they would be able to conquer all obstacles and quickly reach the other side.

"My lord, the armory might still need some time." Lin Dachui, who was already an Advanced Blacksmith, had a different aura. When he spoke, his voice had a strong and sturdy quality to it, similar to the voice of Mordekaiser from League of Legends.

"Rascal, you still dare play hints with me?" Lin Ye rolled his eyes. He naturally understood the meaning behind Lin Dachui's words.

When the bunker was upgraded to Level 5, it had the ability to buy acceleration scrolls on a pay-to-win basis.

They had previously seen how he upgraded the bunker and the breeding field. Naturally, they wanted to enjoy the same treatment.

However, he glanced at the upgrade time of the Armory and immediately dismissed that idea.

Different from people who leveled rapidly, even with the upgrade scrolls, the armories would take at least two hours.

If every armory used an acceleration scroll, 100 armories would cost 200,000 Zombie Souls. The cost was too high.

He could only lament inwardly for not being rich enough.

Next time, he will definitely do it next time!

"Don't even think about it. I'll give you 10 of it, just enough to form a Level 3 Armory. Here, this is 20,000 Zombie Souls. After they are combined into a Level 3 Armory, I'll leave it to you and your trusted subordinates to manage it."

Lin Ye threw out a large amount of Zombie Souls and instructed, "Give priority to the 56 people who have yet to obtain any Tier 3 equipment and forge the Tier 3 equipment using the blueprints given for free by the Level 3 Armory."

"No problem. However, my lord, I can only forge five sets a day using the free blueprints. You will have to find more blueprints for the high-tier equipment as soon as possible."

"Mm," Lin Ye replied. He waved his hand and asked Lin Dachui to upgrade the Level 3 Armory and forge the equipment.

He glanced at Luo Feng and the others from the corner of his eye. They were also at the final stage before their advancement.

Perhaps they would become the strongest Class 3 soldiers in the entire territory in less than five minutes.

As for the other Class 2 soldiers, they had a bright future.

Currently, the training blueprints that he could choose from were Class 2 Gladiators and Class 2 Tiger Hunting Blade Guards.

There were 100 blueprints for Class 2 Gladiators and 15 for Class 2 Tiger Hunting Blade Guards.

115 blueprints for 155 Class 2 elites. The difference in numbers was not too big.

It would only take half a cycle for the blueprints to be refreshed. Just that amount was not a big deal.

After thinking this through, Lin Ye threw out another 20,000 Zombie Souls and the barracks upgrade scroll, letting Lin One and his native workers upgrade the barracks.

He handled all the trivial matters well.

Lin Ye took out the last two attributeless Class 4 Upgrade Scrolls and looked at the two highest-ranked people present.

Ranger Adelia and Light Priest Gran.

Both of them were at the peak of Class 3, especially Adelia. After consuming the Level 4 Body Strengthening Pill, she was half a foot inside Class 4.

As long as the venom patches on her arm were healed, there was a high chance that she would be able to transform and officially advance to Class 4.

With this thought in mind, he waved at Gran.

"My lord, I'm willing to serve you."

With a smile on his face, Gran walked towards the platform.

Along the way, a divine power of light appeared in his palm and he smoothed the creases on his clothes.

When he arrived in front of Lin Ye, he bowed humbly as a form of respect.

"Other loyalist soldiers are seeking benefits for themselves. What about you?"

Lin Ye stared at him strangely. "You pledged your loyalty to me for no reason last night and now you're standing aside like it doesn't matter?"

"Would the lord like to hear the truth or the lie?" Gran smiled.

"Don't play with your words. Tell me both at once." Lin Ye was speechless. What was wrong with these people?

"If you say so."

Priest Gran sighed. "The truth is that the lord's unparalleled luck has convinced me. As for the lie… I believe in the lord's promise that even if I don't ask, you will still give me a Class 4 Upgrade Scroll."

"You got it the wrong way."

Lin Ye cast a sidelong glance at him. If not for the fact that this fellow's loyalty had reached 100%, he would really suspect that he had another motive.

His actions were too abnormal!

"But all I said was the truth." Gran smiled bitterly. With regards to the Nine-Colored Divine Light, he didn't dare to mention it. If word got out, it would bring more trouble to his lord so it would be even better if others didn't know.

"Forget it, I can't be bothered with you. Just answer me this."

Lin Ye took out one of the attributeless Class 4 Upgrade Scrolls. "If I give you one, what are the chances of you breaking through to Class 4?"

He still had to count on this guy to remove Adelia's corpse poison.

After all, as long as Gran became a Class 4 Light Priest, the purification ability of his Sacred Healing would increase drastically and it would be enough to cleanse all the corpse poison.

After he detoxified the corpse poison, Adelia might even be able to benefit from this misfortune and breakthrough independently, saving him from having to use another Class 4 attributeless upgrade scroll.

Whether it was given to Luo Feng and the other 2 or Tru, he would have another chance to create another Class 4 elite.

"I'm 99% sure that I can do it. I've been at the peak of Class 3 for decades and am just short of one step. If not for the lack of resources in the underworld and the oppression by the archbishop, I would have been a Class 6 and 7 Light Priest by now." Gran smiled bitterly.

Evidently, internal strifes were everywhere. The Church of Light was no exception.

Of course, Lin Ye had no interest in his past. Hearing that he was 99% confident that he could make it, he couldn't help but smile.

He looked at Gran and said calmly, "No matter what your objective is, you have ultimately given your loyalty to me. My attitude towards my loyal citizens is the same. For the time being, no equipment related to the Priest class has been dropped. Take this Class 4 Attributeless Upgrade Scroll as compensation. Do you have anything else you want?"

Accepting the Class 4 attributeless upgrade scroll from Lin Ye, even the usually elegant and easy-going Gran was a little excited at this moment.

He clutched onto the upgrade scroll tightly as something flashed across his mind. He hurriedly said, "My lord, I'm saying if, if we find the Elevation Hall of the four major sacred halls tomorrow, may I humbly request for a chance to enter said hall?"

"You may." Lin Ye nodded.

He obtained quite a lot of information about the Sacred Halls from Su Yu.

For every Sacred Temple that descended, there would be 10 chances each hour, meaning that there were 10 spots.

The Elevation Hall of the Sacred Temple was aimed at providing enlightenment within one's profession. It could elevate one's foundations.

As for what would be elevated, he still had no idea.

However, Gran who would be a Class 4 Light Priest by then should gain quite a lot from it.

"Thank you, my lord!" Gran bowed deeply.

Then, under the gazes of Lin Ye and the others, he tore open the Class 4 attributeless upgrade scroll.

Boom!

A beam of red light as thick as a water bucket descended from the sky. The energy of the beam of light was much stronger than what Luo Feng and the other two combined experienced.

Priest Gran bathed in it, his robes fluttering in the wind. A large number of divine light particles gathered from the void and landed on his body.

From afar, he looked like a giant white light bulb, frighteningly bright.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, the incandescent light bulb bloomed beautifully like a flower.

The next moment, countless light particles followed the wind and spread over the entire camp.

Everyone present seemed to be showered by the rain of life. The fatigue and soreness on their bodies were all swept away.

"So comfortable! This is too magical. The fatigue from working overtime has disappeared!"

"Me too. These light spots have healing properties. The blood clot on my hand is gone too!"

"A Class 4 Light Priest. As expected of a high-class special class. Terrifying!"

Not far away, the soldiers guarding the platform exclaimed.

"Hahaha, didn't expect that I can also breakthrough to Class 4 in this lifetime at my old age. Feels good!"

At the same time, Gran laughed freely. His style was completely different from his previous elegant and easy-going self. It was as if he wanted to sweep away all the grievances that he had been suppressing over the years. Moreover, after his mental block was removed, he became a few years younger, looking radiant.

At once, Gran's charm completely overshadowed Luo Feng, Su Yu, and the other two who had just succeeded in breaking through to the next class.

"What incredible mental strength!" Luo Feng narrowed his eyes, his expression grave as he muttered, "I remember that Class 4 Light Priests seem to possess offensive abilities. Their initial skills are Spiritual Shock and Energy Ignition. Be it warriors or other classes, those whose mental strength is inferior to him will probably suffer."

"I think the skills are only so-so. It's only useful for mediocre people. Let me go. I might beat him to death within three punches." Su Yu bared his teeth and smiled kindly at Gran.

"Don't just be all talk. That old bastard stole our limelight. Let's find an opportunity to beat him up. Blackie Su, are you up for it or not?"

Xu Que urged in a low voice, his expression calm.

"Bleh! Who do you take me for?"

Su Yu raised his head arrogantly and shot Xu Que a sidelong glance. "Don't come looking for me if there's nothing to gain from it."

"If you don't dare, then forget it trash. I'll find a chance and do it myself," Xu Que muttered.

Soon, the three of them withdrew their gazes and simultaneously stared at the remaining Class 4 attributeless upgrade scroll in Lin Ye's hands.

An upgrade scroll of this class could be used for any occupation type.

With their foundation and talent, all three of them was more than qualified to use it.

However…

If it was in terms of seniority, it probably wouldn't fall to them.

As expected, after rewarding Priest Gran, Lin Ye asked him to remove the corpse poison from Adelia.

At Class 4, Sacred Healing was enough to heal her perfectly.

Then, he waved his hand and called for Tru again.

"My lord!!" Tru seemed to have sensed something. He forced a straight face and prevented the crocodile's tears from falling.

He walked forward and stood pencil straight.

His broad shoulders were like doors, but they could not withstand the excitement and eagerness at this moment and were trembling.

Finally, would he, Lin Tru, have the chance to restore the glory of his ancestors and become a great Class 4 powerhouse?

"Don't be so excited. I haven't decided whether to give you the Class 4 attributeless upgrade scroll yet," Lin Ye teased.

"Ah, don't, my lord. I've already prepared my heart. Even my emotions have been brewing for a long time. I got my old friends to give me a few punches one by one to squeeze out these tears. Besides, haven't we reached an agreement? I'll help you be the bad person…"

"Cough!!" Lin Ye coughed lightly and interrupted Tru.

"Forget it, I was just joking with you. Look at how scared you are. Take it. If you succeed, you will be the commander of the soldiers authorized by the territory's lord."

Lin Ye casually handed the Class 4 Upgrade Scroll to Tru and said, "If you don't succeed, the position of commander will be given to Luo Feng."

"Ah, this…" Tru blinked, the upgrade scroll burning his hands a little.

In terms of talent, there was no doubt that he was worse than Luo Feng and the others. That was why he had to break through to Class 3 using the upgrade scrolls.

He already felt the gap of his cultivation. Moreover, when it came to Class 4, the success rate would drop drastically and be only about 70%.

He did not dare to guarantee that he would succeed in one try.

Of course, it was impossible for him to give up on the upgrade scroll.

As a warrior of the 'Lin clan', for something which was so close to his hands, he'd rather throw it away than give it to anyone else.

Unless, of course, the three of them submitted and called him big brother.

Perhaps he would then let them be…

Lin Ye could not be bothered with the rivalry between his subordinates. As long as there was no hatred or revenge, they could do whatever they wanted.

After sending Tru away to advance to Class 4, Lin Ye looked at Luo Feng, Su Yu, Xu Que, and Ron. He spoke slowly, "What I said just now was not a joke. If Tru did not advance to the next class successfully…"

Boom!

A powerful and golden upgrading light descended not to far away.

Lin Ye was speechless. He glared at the grinning Tru, who was still in pain as he crazily devoured the golden upgrading light.

He turned back and organized his words before continuing. "I've decided to establish eight chiliarchs under the commander. After the upgrade of the bunker, the population's upper limit is now 8,000 people. The rangers will be managed by Adelia. The blacksmiths by Lin Dachui. The native workers by Lin One. The chefs by Nicole. And on the soldiers' side, their numbers far exceed those of other occupation types."

"The original 1000 soldiers will be under the direct control of Tru. Whether it's the patrol team or the my personal guards, Tru will be in charge. The four of you, go to the barracks later and recruit class 1 attributeless soldiers."

"Each of you will recruit 1,000 soldiers. I will give you guys the authority to directly hand the fees over to the soldiers' tribes."

"I don't ask for much. Manage your own soldiers. Don't create trouble for me."

"All those are the basic requirements. Of course, there's only one core mission…"

At this point, Lin Ye's voice became very low, so soft that only the four of them could hear it.

"Remember this. I will reward you with 10 Zombie Souls each time you convert a soldier into a loyalist. I will give priority to the people who converted more loyalists whenever high-tier weapons and equipment drops. Have you seen Adelia's Level 4 Silver Tier Weapon, Windbreaker Bow?"

"That was rewarded to her personally by me. Now, there are still a few of them left. It will all depend on how capable you guys are."

Hearing this, Luo Feng and the others swallowed hard.

Class 4 Silver Tier Weapons!

Heavens, this was considered a piece of top-grade equipment in the underworld.

That fellow, Adelia, carried the Windbreaker Bow with her around all day to show it off.

Who didn't know? Who didn't? But because of the lord's presence, they didn't dare to say much.

But now, the Lord had also given them the same promise.

What was there to hesitate? A glint flashed across their eyes.

Even someone as steady as Luo Feng could not help but start thinking about his own tribe.

Not to mention converting 1000 soldiers from his own tribe, even if he needed to convert 3000 of them, it would not be a loss if he could exchange it for top-grade Class 4 equipment.

After all, this was choosing Lin Ye's side. Becoming loyal to him was a supreme honor.

When they thought of that, why would the four of them hesitate? All of them volunteered themselves to Lin Ye.

"Lord, I still have 3,000 people in my tribe back home. Can I recruit more, including my father who is a Class 3 top tier soldier? You can't usually recruit them, but I can use the Bloodline Teleportation Technique, which can only be used once every 30 years, to forcefully bring him over. What do you think?"

Xu Que had learned this method from Lin One a while ago. He would follow suit and sell off his father as well.

However, there were others who were even more ruthless. Su Yu lowered his head and silently dashed towards the barracks like a phantom. Without a word, he started recruiting.

"Blackie Su, how dare you!"

Xu Que flew into a rage. "You dare to disrespect even me? I'll beat you to death!"

Soon, mayhem occurred at the camp. The three main characters took action, their battle aura soaring. Lin Ye shook his head continuously.

At this moment, a system notification popped up.

"You've received 90 Reputation points!"

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 62: Reputation Shop, Weird Items!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"You've received 90 Reputation points!"

100xReward.

"You have obtained 9,000 Reputation points!"

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your reputation has reached 100 points. You have officially unlocked the Reputation Shop!]

[Friendly reminder: The current level of the Reputation Shop is 1. There are eight fixed options. To unlock more functions, please upgrade the shop as soon as possible!]

[Shop Leveling Methods: 1. Increase Reputation Points. Please follow the list in the Civilization Archive about the Reputation Shop for more specific details about points allocation. 2. Gold Treasure Chests and above have a chance of dropping Reputation Points Scrolls. With 10 of them, you can level up unconditionally.]

"Reputation Shop?"

Lin Ye's eyes lit up. He had been looking forward to this since a while ago.

However, because he did not have a source of Reputation Points, he could only give it up first.

The 90 Reputation Points just now was obtained through Zhang Bao'er changing the Chinese names of the underworld people.

At this moment, that silly girl was probably going to explode with anger.

As expected, a sharp roar came from the simple classroom built in a distance.

Although it was called a classroom, it was actually a small graveyard.

The blackboard was a rectangular wooden tablet stuck on the graveyard. The pointer was the remaining firewood from the bonfire last night.

The podium was made up of the three gold slabs.

"My lord!!!"

Tap tap tap…

Sounds from urgent small steps.

Zhang Bao'er gnashed her teeth. With a Chinese dictionary in her left hand and a burnt firewood in her right, she charged towards the platform in front of the bunker.

On the road side, Light Priest Gran who was healing Adelia from the corpse poison, raised his eyebrows at the sight.

He looked at Zhang Bao'er with an experienced gaze and muttered to himself.

A sweet but silly girl?

There was no chance for her to become the mistress of this territory!

At the thought of this, he completely lost interest in observing Zhang Bao'er.

If he had the time, he might as well curry favor from the person before him.

Even if she could not become the mistress, she would still be a core figure working for the lord in the future.

Adelia. If you split her name, it would be Ade Lia.

Ade, Eden, Ade, Eden…

Could it be a homonym? Eden was the surname of royalties amongst the rangers!

Wow, this girl might have a powerful background!

Gran was elated inwardly and could not help but sigh. As expected of his lord who was the child of destiny who carried the nine-colored divine light.

He was extremely glad that he was the only one among all his lord's loyalists who knew about this news.

It was like he was the only sober one among the drunks.

Now his thoughts raced as his brain processed rapidly.

Mm, I heard that Little Lord started an organization called the 'Lin Clan' or something…

This was not a bad move. He would have to find out more about it later.

Regardless, he had to enter the upper echelons of the 'Lin Clan' as soon as possible.

When Little Lord rose to his power, hehe, my status will probably become extremely prominent.

Perhaps he could really become like Karl, the strongest Pope in history who beat up the previous Pope, stepped on the 12 Cardinals, rebuked the lords of 72 underworld cities, and guided the world. That would be awesome!

At the thought, even with Gran's personality, he could not help but appear like a pig.

"Old Man Gran, are you crazy? I treat you as a comrade, you dirty pervert, you actually have ulterior motives about me?!"

On the other side, perhaps because it had been a long time since Gran used his divine power of light, Adelia looked up impatiently and saw Gran's ugly expression. She was furious and kicked him.

Kacha—

!!!

Gran clasped his crotch and fell onto the ground on his knees.

His eyes were bloodshot and his fingers trembled as he pointed at Adelia.

It was a pity that he had suffered a critical hit. At this moment, he couldn't speak at all and could only gasp for his breath.

At the same time, he didn't forget to give himself a wave of strengthened Divine Healing.

Just as the farce here ended, another started at Lin Ye's side.

Zhang Bao'er placed her hands on her hips and glared at Lin Ye. "My lord, you're too much!!!"

"Is it because of the splitting of the points?" Lin Ye chuckled.

"Of course." Zhang Bao'er nodded heavily. Her beautiful eyes were glistening with tears as she glared at Lin Ye angrily and accused him of his crimes.

"I've changed more than a hundred names for the students from the underworld. Do you know how frustrating it was?! They didn't know anything and were still picky. After changing, they wanted to change again. My head almost exploded. I barely managed to change the names of a hundred people to meet the minimum requirements of the Reputation Shop."

"But the Reputation Shop has just been unlocked and I haven't had the chance to buy anything when my reputation points decreased by 90%."

"The system explained that it was taken away by my lord. Is that true?"

"It's true," Lin Ye admitted with a nod.

"Outrageous!"

Zhang Bao'er said angrily, "You're more capitalistic than the capitalists on Earth. You squeezed me dry of my hard work. You…"

"Wait…" Lin Ye quickly interrupted her accusation.

"Who taught you to say that?" he asked.

"What?" Zhang Bao'er was stunned for a moment.

"I said, who taught you to say those words?" Lin Ye asked patiently.

"Well, well…"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Bao'er panicked and stuttered. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said, "I thought of it myself."

"Impossible." Lin Ye shook his head firmly. "With your intelligence and courage, even if I took 100% of your points, you wouldn't dare to resist, much less say that long string of complaints."

"I… I'm not that much of a coward," Zhang Bao'er retorted softly, but Lin Ye ignored her.

He secretly activated his Heart's Web talent and scanned the entire territory. Soon, he found the place where humans gathered.

After eavesdropping on Chu Meng and Liu Yuan's conversation, he immediately understood.

Sanitary pads?

Reputation Shop even sold such things?!!

F*ck!

He cursed under his breath and quickly opened the Civilization Archive to look at his Reputation Shop.

Paper Crafting Blueprint x1 (1000 Reputation Points)

Sanitary Pads x20 (40 Reputation Points)

Gel Pen x10 (20 Reputation Points)

Moisturizer x1 (30 Reputation Points)

Refreshing Shampoo x1 (80 Reputation Points)

Speed Talisman x1 (500 Reputation Points)

Level 1 Lord's Skin x1 [With Special Effect] (2000 Reputation Points)

Condom 0.01mm x1 (100 Reputation Points)

It had 8 fixed goods which would be refreshed every 6 hours.

For those with the capacity to spend, the first spending would require 100 reputation points. The second time, it would double. The third time, it would double again. The points would stack one after another. There was no limit.

For Reputation Shop Level 1 Level 2. One can upgrade it for free once they accumulate 2,000 Reputation Points.

Note: The higher the level of the Reputation Shop, the higher the probability of high quality items appearing.

Alright, it was really the same.

What strange items!

Lin Ye was speechless.

For girls, sanitary pads were indeed important. There were always a few days when they felt uncomfortable every month.

There were three girls in the territory now.

No… that's not right. Including the cat-eared chefs and rangers, there were at least 700 of them.

F*ck, this was not a small number.

Lin Ye clenched his teeth.

Forget it. Since they were loyal to him, he would give them some specialties from Earth.

He didn't read it through detailedly and simply bought all the items from the shop.

Whoosh—

In an instant, eight balls of light fell to the platform, each of them wrapping an item in it.

"Take it. This is for you."

Lin Ye directly took out the sanitary pads from one of the ball of light and threw it to Zhang Bao'er. He said expressionlessly, "Don't monopolize the good stuff. Remember to share it with Adelia, Nicole, and the others. Give a few to the core people first. I'll think of a solution for the others later."

"Oh! Oh!" Zhang Bao'er nodded adorably like a little chick and accepted the box.

Before she left, her gaze suddenly landed on a ball of light on the right. Her face immediately flushed red.. She glared at Lin Ye in embarrassment and anger, lightly reprimanding him for being shameless, before running away.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 63: Powerful Lord's Skin!

"???"

Lin Ye was confused as he watched Zhang Bao'er leave.

What did I do? How am I shameless?

Ridiculous!

His gaze landed on the ball of light on the far right. When he saw the word 'condom', he seemed to realize something.

He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. "Indeed, I'm the more innocent one. These girls know more than anyone else!"

As he casually stuffed the condoms into his pocket.

But to be honest, this was something good for teaching family planning.

If he got married someday and didn't want children, it would be useful.

Otherwise, his 100xReward would be a little strange. It shouldn't reward him with 100 children, right? That scene would be…

Lin Ye imagined for a moment and couldn't help but shiver. He quickly eliminated this possibility.

After clearing the pitfall which may be caused by the condoms, he looked at the other six balls of light and opened them one by one.

Level 1 Paper Crafting Blueprint x1

[Requires a Class 1 Research Laboratory and Research Specialist. For every Paper Crafting blueprint, you can produce 100 pieces of ordinary A4 paper per hour.]

[Research Laboratory. You can obtain construction blueprints for free when you enter the tribal era. You can also open Silver Treasure Chests and above to obtain primitive blueprints.]

"Tribal era?"

Seeing the new vocabulary and its description, Lin Ye understood the meaning of the words.

This was similar to a certain Civilization Age game on Earth. Depending on the strength of the territory, technology, and other elements, there were different stages of development.

He now belonged to the most basic primitive bunker era.

Once the bunker was upgraded to level 10, he would be able to obtain the blueprint for entering the tribal era.

In other words, this paper crafting technique was useless for now.

Said blueprint was immediately banished to the cold palace.

The second item was the gel pen x10. It was a good item.

Jiang Gong had always complained that the natural charcoal pencil made from burning firewood was not good enough.

With this, he might be able to draw a toilet blueprint soon.

"Someone, send these pens to Jiang Gong."

Lin Ye called a personal guard over and handed the gel pens to him. He thought for a moment and said, "Split it. Five for Zhang Bao'er and the other five for Jiang Gong."

Zhang Bao'er was his only source for reputation points currently, so he couldn't neglect her.

Moreover, it was inevitable that she would eventually feel dissatisfied if he continued to let a girl like her stand on a tombstone to give classes to the people of the underworld.

He shall give her sanitary pads and gel pens to placate her as long as she doesn't slack off.

After the personal guard left, Lin Ye continued to look through his gains.

Next was the moisturizer and the shampoo. They were all used during showering.

Lin Ye winced at the mention of a shower.

Speaking of which, he hadn't bathed for more than a week even before he descended to this world.

He lowered his head and sniffed his armpits.

Hm, it was alright. It didn't stink, but it did smell a little like instant noodles.

Did he eat too much instant noodles recently???

Whatever. He would try his luck later and see if he could get a tub or a shower sprayer for a hot bath.

If it really didn't work out, he would make one himself.

After throwing all the bath products into the warehouse, only two of the eight items were left.

One was the Speed Talisman x1, and the other was the most expensive Lord's Skin.

Leaving the good stuff to the end, Lin Ye opened the description of the Speed Talisman.

[Speed Talisman: Increase in 200% speed for a single person. Duration: 1 hour]

[Mass Speed Buff: People within a 5 meters radius around the holder of the talisman would get a speed buff of 100%. Duration: 20 minutes]

"Not bad. It's a pretty good thing to fight at the Four Sacred Halls this morning."

Lin Ye nodded and stuffed the talisman into the Civilization Archive as an important object.

Finally, it was the highlight, Level 1 Lord's Skin.

The description was as followed:

Item: Lord's Skin (Special Type Treasure)

Level: 1

Attractiveness: Increased by 10%

Charisma: Increased by 10%

Special Effect: Every word and action of the wearer will have a king's disposition. People will respect it and it will increase their loyalty (Human Lords are immune to it)

After reading it, Lin Ye was exhilarated.

He did not care if it could increase their loyalty. It was the aspect that increased his attractiveness which stood out to him.

He touched it with his fingers and put on Level 1 Lord's Skin.

Whoosh—

With a flash of light, his clothes were completely changed.

A young master wearing a white satin robe with purple flowers sewn on its inside, a jade belt around his waist, with his hand holding a golden feathered fan appeared.

At this moment, Lin Ye was the exemplification of the words elegance, charisma and handsomeness.

He walked out of the platform and passed by the area where the chefs and rangers were. It immediately caused a huge uproar.

"Oh my god, this outfit is too compatible with the Lord. So handsome!!!"

"Ahhh, the Lord smiled at me. I can't take it anymore, I'm about to faint!"

"Compared to our Lord, underworld men are all trash. I've decided that I won't marry anyone unless it's our lord!"

…

He heard the mad wails of the female chefs and the female rangers.

Lin Ye was expressionless, but his heart was blooming with joy.

In his eyes, loyalty was increasing everywhere.

Loyalty1, Loyalty1, Loyalty1, Loyalty1…

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your ranger xx loyalty has reached 100%. She has become a loyalist!]

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your ranger xx loyalty has reached 100%. She has become a loyalist!]

…

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your chef xx, loyalty has reached 100%. She has become a loyalist!]

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your chef xx, loyalty has reached 100%. She has become a loyalist!]

[Hint: At present, there are 205 rangers and 73 chefs who have become loyalists. Loyalists are the most precious talents. Please treat them well!]

"With this, I've obtained close to 300 loyalists!!!"

Lin Ye stared in disbelief.

He didn't do anything. He simply walked around wearing the Level 1 Lord's Skin.

And smiled at the chefs and the rangers.

Just this? Just with this?

And they became loyal to him?

Indeed, a girl's criteria for loyalty was different from a man's.

Men cared about their upgrade scrolls, power and status.

Women, huh…

Hm, it must be because I'm too handsome. The hearts of girls do not lie.

It couldn't be helped. He was outstanding and was the center of attention wherever he went!

Lin Ye thought happily as he walked back and forth between the rangers' area two more times. When he felt that it was impossible to further increase the number of loyalists, he turned and headed towards the barracks where the soldiers were trained.

After going through the rewards, Luo Feng, Su Yu, and the rest each recruited 1,000 Level 1 Attributeless Soldiers.

At this moment, they were training hard in the barracks.

"My lord?"

Suddenly, they saw a man wearing such luxurious robes in the territory.

They fell into a daze.

Fortunately, the wills of Luo Feng and the other four were quite strong, allowing them to recover from their shock, and immediately came to greet him.

"Don't worry about me, I'm just here to take a look."

Lin Ye's smile was like a spring breeze, making one feel at ease.

Under the guide of the four chiliarchs, he walked around the barracks like an officer inspecting a military parade.

In the end, under the gazes of more than 4,000 new soldiers, he waved his hand with a calm expression and said, "Hello, soldiers! You've worked hard!"

"Greetings, my lord!"

For some reason, although these new recruits had seen Lin Ye for the first time, they felt that he had a kind expression on his face, like an elderly father at home, kind and amiable.

Immediately, everyone's faces turned red as they shouted in response to the lord's call.

Loyalty1, Loyalty1, Loyalty1, Loyalty1…

Chapter 64: Buy! Buy! Buy! Sweeping Goods Off The Shelves!

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. The loyalty of your Class 1 recruit xx has increased to 65%!]

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. The loyalty of your Class 1 recruit xx has increased to 72%!]

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. The loyalty of your Class 1 recruit xx has increased to 60%!]

"Not bad, not bad!"

Lin Ye was all smiles when he heard the good news from the system.

[Friendly Hint: Lord's Skin has the best effect when it is used for the first time. There will be a daily reset time for each person after use. When the Skin's level is increased, the daily reset timing will be calculated again.]

[Skin Leveling Method: 1. Two Skins of the same level can be combined to form a Level 2 Skin. 2. Destroying a Level 1 Haunted House with a difficulty of five stars and above has a 50% chance of dropping a Level 1 Skin. For difficulties above seven stars, there is a 70% drop rate. For difficulties above nine stars, there is a 100% drop rate; Level 2 Haunted House has the same drop rates as above.]

"Combining Skins? There's actually such a good thing."

Lin Ye was overjoyed and he waved his hand to dismiss Luo Feng, Su Yu, and the rest before heading straight to the bunker. He took out his Civilization Archive and went straight for the Reputation Shop.

He had just used more than 3,000 Reputation Points. There was still a lot left, enough to level up his skin.

He entered the Reputation Shop. The Level 1 Reputation Shop was currently empty after being cleared by him.

The refresh countdown was currently at 5 hours and 40 minutes.

At the bottom of the products, there were two other options. One was Refresh which would cost 100 Reputation Points. The other was Free Refresh (1/day);

Before Lin Ye clicked on the free refresh button, an option appeared on the Reputation Shop page.

"Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your spending at Reputation Shop has exceeded 2,000 points and it can now be upgraded to Level 2 for free. After the upgrade, the items will be refreshed and there will be higher quality products from Earth. Do you wish to upgrade immediately?"

"Upgrade it."

Lin Ye regretted it immediately.

What a scam! There was still an unused chance to refresh for free!

A huge loss!!!

As soon as he finished speaking, a blue light flashed across the Reputation Shop screen. The goods section increased from eight to nine, and the items were refreshed.

"Forget it, I'll just treat it as poverty alleviation. This Lin does not lack money." Lin Ye shook his head and looked at the new shelf of items.

KTV Lights x1 (300 Reputation Points)

Special Battery for Colored Lanterns x4 (100 Reputation Points)

Grade 1 Language Textbook x1 (100 Reputation Points)

Grade 1 Mathematics Textbook x1 (100 Reputation Points)

New Oriental Cuisine Recipe Book x1 (500 Reputation Points)

Minimalist Styled Cloth Sofa (2000 Reputation Points)

MP4 (500 Reputation Points) [Note: Comes with both action and romance dramas from all over the world as well as the favorite of the film watchers]

Xiang Piaopiao Brand Milk Tea x10 (100 Reputation Points)

MICOE Shower Cubicle (3,000 Reputation Points)

"They're all good stuff, all really useful!"

Lin Ye's eyes were bright as he bought everything again.

However, when he was trying to buy the MICOE Shower Cubicle, the option turned black.

"Dear customer, your Reputation Points are insufficient. Please recharge it immediately!"

Not enough?

Lin Ye frowned and looked at his purchase history and everything became clear.

His first purchase cost 3,770 points.

This time, there were too many items. He only had 1,530 points left after buying the Xiang Piaopiao Brand Milk Tea.

For now, he could choose to refresh and buy other cheaper items. However, this MICOE Shower Cubicle was something Lin Ye wanted quite badly.

"D*mn it! I, who is called a tycoon, is actually stopped by Reputation Points!!!"

Lin Ye punched the wall of the bunker angrily.

At this moment, on his head the words Reputation Points90 ,90, started appearing!

100xReward.

"You have received 18,000 Reputation points!"

"Current Reputation Points: 19,530!"

???

What was happening? Lin Ye was shocked but delighted at the same time.

The waves of Heart's Web swept across the entire territory and received the feedback soon.

It was from Zhang Bao'er, Nicole, Adelia and the rest!

"Wow, Sister Bao'er, this little thing is really awesome. I feel so much better after sticking it on!"

"That's right. It's much more convenient than our old method!"

"I was originally worried that my period would come in the next two days. If I were to stain my clothes in front of the Lord, it would be so embarrassing!"

"Sister Bao'er, hurry and teach me how to use this."

After observing for a while, Lin Ye touched his chin.

Ah, so this was how this thing was used. This was the first time that a pure and innocent man who had been single for more than twenty years heard of it.

Through his eyes, he could clearly see Zhang Bao'er's reputation points increasing rapidly.

Reputation Points10, Reputation Points10…

"What sort of logic is this!!!"

Lin Ye stared in disbelief. He could understand that education gave Reputation Points.

However, teaching women from the underworld to use sanitary pads could also be considered as spreading Earth's knowledge?

Of course, that was not the main point. The main point was, why did they only get 1-2 points for changing names?

And this sanitary pad could contribute several times of that, and each teaching would give at least 10 points. This was too unfair!!!

Lin Ye felt aggrieved for the Chinese dictionary, but he forgot about it when he turned around.

With a large amount of reputation points coming in, he felt energized again!

With a wave of his hand, he bought the MICOE Shower Cubicle.

-3,000 Reputation Points!

Whoosh—

Nine light balls flew out of the Civilization Record and scattered around in the bunker's bedroom.

Lin Ye called someone up to tidy the place and left the MICOE Shower Cubicle at the corner of the bedroom.

The minimalist cloth sofa was placed in the recruitment hall on the first floor.

The next time he recruited native workers and other professions, he could at least put on a show.

Otherwise, the huge hall would look too shabby if there was only one recruitment desk in it.

Two Grade 1 textbooks were directly given to Zhang Bao'er.

The New Oriental Cuisine Recipe Book could be used by Nicole to improve her cooking skills.

Otherwise, when the bunker got further upgraded in the near future, his improved Heart's Web talent would also be upgraded, and wouldn't he be in trouble then?

KTV Lights?

This was good stuff. He left it on the platform.

In the future, when Chu Meng and Liu Yuan would perform at night, this thing would be an atmosphere booster.

Aish, hold on a second. Chu Meng… singing?

If she taught the people from the underworld how to sing, would his Reputation points increase as well!!!

She could teach the native workers farming songs, the soldiers war songs, the rangers popular songs, the blacksmiths death metal music…

F*ck!

The more he thought about it, the more interesting it became.

There was also Jiang Gong's civil engineering, Xun Mingyuan's warehouse management, and so on. They could educate people from the underworld.

This way, he would have a stable source of reputation points, and he wouldn't have to rely on Zhang Bao'er alone.

With that, Lin Ye decided.

After lunch, he would give the orders to Jiang Gong and the rest.

They would be like Zhang Bao'er and have a basic mission quota to hit every day.

If it couldn't be completed?

Did they still want to eat? If they wanted to sh*t, they can forget about using the toilet paper and use their fingers instead.

Hmph, there were plenty of ways to make them submit.

Lin Ye turned his head and continued to look through the Reputation Shop.

After the second round of the stock sweep, the system sent another upgrade notification. This time, Lin Ye was not so stupid.

He had wasted a chance to refresh the shop.

He chose to refresh!

Unfortunately, there were no good items like the Lord's Skin which appeared. Most of them were daily necessities.

Then, he spent many points at the Level 2 shop.

After all, after the upgrade, the initial value of recharging became much more expensive. He would not allow the system to take advantage of him.

Nike sportswear? Buy!

Li Ning's running shoes? Buy!

Nanjiren's underwear?

Pfft, the quality of it was rubbish. Hm, but he didn't think he had a choice since he hasn't changed his underwear in a few days. Buy!

A dress?

A gift for a girl? He didn't think he would use it. Forget it, just in case, he would buy it!

Nether regions… numbing cream?

Tch. System, something's definitely wrong with you.

MP4, Condoms, Numbing Cream for the nether regions, was this a set or something?

What were you trying to make me do!!!

The system ignored him. Lin Ye pursed his lips and quietly bought them! Buy! Buy!

Anything which was passable was all purchased.

After spending tens of thousands of Reputation Points, he still did not see the second Level 1 Lord's Skin.

Upgrade it then! This European King didn't believe that he didn't have the luck.

After successfully upgrading to the Level 3 Reputation Merchant Shop, the goods section refreshed again. Lin Ye's eyes lit up when he took a quick glance.
