Chapter 135: Treasure Chest System Unlocked, Beginning to Take Off!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Friendly Hint: You have angered the Red-Eyed Zombie King, Jiang Chen. The difficulty of the first zombie wave has increased by four times!”
“Friendly Hint: The Zombie King has sacrificed 2% of its divine blood. The first zombie wave may have a Level 5 zombie. Please prepare your defense!”
“Level 5? That’s good!”
Lin Ye was overjoyed, but at the same time, he felt a little regretful.
If he had known earlier, he would have humiliated the zombie king more. The angrier that guy got, the better.
When the time came, it would increase the zombie wave’s difficulty by eight times.
He might even be able to kill a Level 5 Harpy Zombie…
F*ck, what a loss!
After feeling unhappy for a while, Lin Ye temporarily forgot about it.
His gaze landed on a silver scroll.
The next moment, familiar options appeared in front of him.
“You have obtained a basic Level 4 Sharing Contract.”
100xReward.
1. 100 Beginner Level 4 Sharing Contract
2. 10 Top Level 4 Sharing Contract
3. Sharing contract of random level and quantity
“As expected of a five-star difficulty Haunted House. A level 4 sharing contract actually came out of it.”
The smile on Lin Ye’s face widened. There was no need to be conflicted about the options. “Same thing. I choose option one.”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, the scroll in front of him emitted a second silver glow.
Light shone down, and hundreds of silver halos scattered across the ground.
“This time I can fulfill Tru’s wishes. I’ll leave a few more for Dad and Mom to sign with a few Class 4s and take off on the spot.”
Lin Ye smiled and waved his hand. The storage light beam landed on all the sharing contracts.
In an instant, all the contracts were kept into his interspatial ring.
As for Zombie King Jiang Chen, he had no interest in cooperating with him for the time being.
From his conversation with Nicole previously, he understood that it was either humans or zombies that could survive, never both.
Therefore, cooperating with the zombie king and his subordinates was no different from asking a tiger for its skin.
In this situation, regardless of what the other party said, he had to reject him forcefully.
Even so, through this conversation, he obtained a lot of valuable information.
Perhaps he could give it a try after a while.
Before he left, he took out the Phoenix Spear, and countless spear shadows burst out.
Rumble!
The soil and stones of the five-star haunted house exploded and instantly collapsed. Dust and smoke filled the air.
When he walked out of the Haunted House, the zombies outside were going crazy.
Unfortunately, facing the well-equipped Lin clan army, everything was futile.
Half an hour later, more than 30,000 zombies were killed.
“My lord, we’ve won big time. These are the treasure chests and blueprints that our brothers found from the corpses. Please take a look.”
At this moment, Tru walked over, carrying a large pile of treasure chests. There were many lackeys behind him who were holding more.
Lin Ye glanced at them and a bright smile appeared on his face.
The rewards were high. 852 sandalwood treasure chests, 223 bronze treasure chests, and 7 silver treasure chests.
Including the one he got at the beginning, it was 8 Silver Treasure Chests.
Wonderful.
At the same time, the system sent a congratulatory message.
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye! You are the first human lord in the world to destroy a five-star Level 1 Haunted House. You are rewarded with 50,000 reputation points.”
100xReward.
“You have obtained 5,000,000 Reputation points.”
Total: 16,000,000 reputation points.
After closing the information from the Reputation Shop, Lin Ye quietly kept all the treasure chests.
“Tru, leave 500 people here to move the corpses. Lin One, you stay as well. Install all the zombie converters. Send someone to inform me when the conversion is completed.”
As he spoke, Lin Ye looked down at the large gold watch on his wrist.
Time: 6:40 PM
There was still enough time. Killing a five-star Haunted House was much faster than a four-star Haunted House.
He had to comment, his current team was much stronger than before.
But facing the unfathomable hell, it was still far from enough.
At the thought of this, Lin Ye leaped onto the giant earth wolf and called out, “Everyone else, return to the territory with me.”
After killing for an entire day, it was time to reap the rewards.
Tap-tap-tap…
Half an hour later, a group of over 3,200 soldiers galloped back to the entrance of the territory.
“He’s back, he’s back! It’s Boss Lin Ye!”
“Wow, a team with thousands of people looks just like how it looks in the video. Too f*cking spectacular!”
“No, it’s not the same. They seem to have become stronger. Look at Class 2 blue tier weapons they were wearing in the video. All of them are equipped with Class 3 purple tier weapons now. There are even a large number of Class 4 silver tier weapons. Oh my god, all the lords within a radius of a few hundred kilometers wouldn’t be enough to fight him alone.”
“Boss Lin Ye, look here. I’m your crazy fan. Please, let me follow you! I know how to cook, wash cloths, and prepare the shower. I know everything. I’m just begging for a job and for you to provide me with three meals a day. I’m not picky.”
“There’s also me too. Boss Lin Ye, I know how to write novels. The novels I write are awesome. They were in the top 10 novels in terms of world sales. Global Descent: 100xReward was written by me. Please accept me. When you take off in the future, I’ll write a biography for you!”
…
“What’s going on?”
Lin Ye narrowed his eyes and looked at the yellow and lean figures in front of him. He could tell that they were all human lords.
But why were they all here…
To join him?
Such a good thing was happening to him?
At this moment, a group of people rushed out of his territory. Leading the group was Zhang Liang.
When they were attacking the three-star haunted house, Lin Ye had asked him to come back to upgrade the armory and defend the territory.
“My lord, you’re finally back.”
Zhang Liang was extremely busy. He hurriedly explained, “These people are here to join us. They came an hour ago, but without your orders, I didn’t dare to accept them. I got them to wait outside instead.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the human lords who had come to seek refuge shouted again.
Some introduced themselves, some shouted that the skills they had, some cried for their parents, all to win the pity of Lin Ye.
After being made to wait for an hour, they observed for a long time. Even with the stone fence surrounding the territory, they could still see the prosperity inside through the gaps. There were thousands of native workers, blacksmiths, cat chefs, as well as a large number of armories, barracks, and breeding fields.
Compared to that, the territory they had was like a kennel, a tragic sight.
Furthermore, it was almost time for the protection mechanism to disappear. They did not dare to take the risk since they only had one life.
If they could, they would keep a low profile and stick together, following the strong. That was a person’s survival instinct.
“I understand.” Lin Ye nodded.
A glint flashed in the depths of his eyes. Although he wanted a large number of human lords to pledge their loyalty so that he could complete the mission exchanged from the treasure chest,
he was not so desperate that he would take anyone.
Whoosh—
In an instant, Heart’s Web was activated. An invisible wave spread out and encompassed all the human lords who were blocking the entrance of his territory.
“White, white, white, black, green, green, red, gray, blue, blue…”
Lin Ye saw the emotions of the human lords clearly.
Obviously, the human lords weren’t here to just join him. There were also many people with ulterior motives.
Just now, there was someone who had green particles. He wondered how they were scolding him again.
“You! You! You… Did you have a good time cursing me? Get the hell out here.”
At the thought of this, he sneered and pointed out 10 people in a row.
“Boss Lin Ye, we didn’t…” The expressions of the few fellows changed drastically. They did not understand how Lin Ye could guess what they were thinking and wanted to deny.
“Shut up!”
Unfortunately, Lin Ye didn’t give them a chance to speak. He glanced at Xu Que from the corner of his eye and said, “Take them away. I don’t want to see them again.”
“Don’t worry, my lord. I’m good at this.” Xu Que laughed and went up to slap them until they saw stars. “Brothers, bring a few cavalrymen with you. Take a person each and take this trash away.”
Soon, the ten people were taken away.
Seeing this, the other human lords present were all panicking and looked at Lin Ye with fear.
“Everyone, there’s no need to be afraid. As humans, as long as you don’t have ulterior motives, I’m willing to accept you and provide you with safety and protection. But in exchange, I need you to give up your status as a human lord and pledge your loyalty to me.”
As he spoke, he secretly activated the Level 3 Lord’s Skin.
After evolving Level 3, the third skill of the lord’s skin—Ambition. It could be used on human lords, directly affecting their initial loyalty and improving one’s initial impression of them.
As expected, with the enhancement of the Lord’s Skin, the good feelings these honest human lords held towards Lin Ye increased.
As long as they stayed here, their initial loyalty would be fixed at 70%.
Everyone’s attitude changed drastically. They no longer felt afraid.
Conversely, when they met Lin Ye’s gaze, everyone felt extremely at ease.
They were no longer afraid of him and were defending him inwardly.
“Boss Lin Ye has an easy-going appearance and is so handsome. He must not be a bad person!” This was a comment from a certain pretty lady with a determined gaze.
“Boss Lin must have unlocked some kind of talent. I can tell those guys who have sinister thoughts. Speaking of which, on the way here, their qualities are evident. They spit on the ground, curse at others, rely on the strong while bullying the weak. They are different from us and must have ulterior motives for coming here.”
When it came to information about talent, if they were to look at the chat every day, it was only natural to have leaked somewhere.
Some people liked to be in the limelight and wanted to post screenshots in the chat groups every day to show off their superpowers so as to attract everyone’s attention.
Therefore, it was not strange for someone to guess that Lin Ye’s talent was to read people’s minds.
“Fortunately, Boss Lin Ye is observant and kicked all these black sheep out. I’ve decided. I want to stay!”
…
Loyalty+2, Loyalty+1, Loyalty+2…
100xReward.
Loyalty+200, Loyalty+100, Loyalty+200…
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have received the loyalty of the human lord, Li Xinyi. Her loyalty has increased to 85%!”
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have obtained the loyalty of the human lord, Li Baitian. His loyalty has increased to 80%!”
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have obtained the loyalty of the human lord, Pu Ying. His loyalty has increased to 82%!”
….
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have completed the quest of gathering 100 humans. The exchange treasure chest system has been unlocked.. The current level is Class 2 Bronze. Please continue to work hard!”
