“Pu Ying? Interesting.”
Lin Ye nodded inwardly. This was the first time he had met such a decisive person.
“What did you work as in China?” He thought about it and asked curiously.
“I was an employee of a delivery company.”
Pu Ying answered truthfully, “However, I’ve been familiar with military tactic books since I was young. I love Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I think that you are the epitome of a wise lord in my heart. I, Pu Ying, am willing to swim through boiling water and step through burning flames for the lord for generations to come!”
“The middle school syndrome is strong in this one.” Lin Ye glanced at him.
Such bright and sincere eyes, how many milk caps of Rakshasa Street did he eat?
“Alright, did you awaken any talent?” Lin Ye pondered.
If he was just an ordinary deliveryman, he would have to suffer for the time being and accompany Xun Mingyuan to be an administrator at the warehouses.
“Not yet, but I’m full of enthusiasm. My lord, let me assist you with The Art of War and Book of Wumu that I’ve studied for over twenty years!”
Pu Ying clasped his fist sincerely.
“Brother, you’re on the wrong set. There’s a little too much acting.”
Lin Ye glanced at him from the corner of his eye. “Have you eaten? Regarding the matter of assisting me, we’ll talk about it when you’re more awake. Go and eat first.”
“Yes sir!” Pu Ying bowed and quickly gave chase in Nicole’s direction.
“…”
Lin Ye was speechless. He glanced at the others. For now, none of the rest had offered their loyalty to him yet.
He didn’t mind. The emotion particles of these people were relatively stable. They probably just wanted to live a stable life with him.
Whatever. When he had the time, he would split them into different classes to work for him.
Thinking of that, he said loudly, “Everyone, your living area in the future will be near the fisheries in the south. Wooden fences will protect the area within a 2,000 meters radius. You can live in peace. It’s our first meeting today so I’ll treat you to dinner, but from tomorrow onwards, you must start to work and exchange contribution points for food.”
“I will get Zhang Liang to inform you about the specifics.”
After saying that, he turned to Zhang Liang and said, “I’ll leave the 200 plus people to you. Get the materials needed for the Level 2 tents and get the number of native workers needed from Lin Two. Make sure to build the tents before midnight. At the very least, give them a safe place to live. Only then will they have a sense of belonging. Can you do that?”
“Don’t worry, my lord. It’s just an errand. There won’t be any mishaps.” Zhang Liang smiled.
Ever since his father was rescued, he had become loyal to Lin Ye and would never carry out his orders perfunctorily.
“Great, that’s the attitude.”
Lin Ye chuckled and nodded. “Tell the other human loyalists that before midnight, each loyalist can collect 100 sets of Class 2 Blue Tier Weapons. It’s up to them whether they give it to their family or friends.”
“Yes, thank you, my lord!” Zhang Liang bowed deeply, his heart surging with excitement.
Not only did the Lord save his father, but he also gave him 1,000 Zombie Souls and now, 100 sets of Class 2 blue weapons to protect himself.
He would definitely repay this kindness with death!
The 200 plus human lords not far away were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
Oh my god, was he that rich?
They had seen the market page during the day. It was clear that Lord Lin had a lot of equipment, but they didn’t expect him to be so caring to his subordinates.
He directly gave them 100 sets of Class 2 blue tier weapons.
What the hell. These weapons should be able to sell for at least 50 Bronze Treasure Chests on the market page.
Furthermore, from his words, it seemed to carry the subtext that there were many other loyalists other than Zhang Liang?
What the f*ck… How many Class 2 blue tiers weapons would he have to give?
10 people meant 1,000!
20 people meant 2,000!
30 people…
Ssss—
They did not dare to imagine.
“My lord, if we also offer our loyalty, can we receive the same treatment?”
Someone stared at Lin Ye with a burning gaze.
“Sure.”
Lin Ye nodded slowly. “But even if you offer your loyalty, it still has to be assessed. I don’t need useless people. Different from Zhang Liang and the others, you can only draw from the aid funds in advance when your family is in danger. After that, according to the regulations, you must make corresponding contributions to the territory as repayment.”
“That’s entirely reasonable, my lord. I am willing to offer my loyalty. My son is in danger, and I need to tap into the aid funds tonight.”
“I’m willing too.”
“Me too!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the notifications of 100% loyalty being offered sounded one after another on Lin Ye’s side.
He took a look. These three people were considered honest.
One was a middle-aged man while the other two were young. They were Chen Ye, Bai Yitong, and Hu Yi.
“Alright, follow Jiang Gong and the rest for the time being. Get ready. After dinner, if you’re lucky, I might have a surprise for you.”
Lin Ye smiled. Most people did not know about the Four Sacred Halls yet.
However, it did not matter. Right now, be it human lords or haunted houses, this area was under his control.
He would conquer the fortress of more than two hundred people later so his territory would expand exponentially again.
Soon, the remaining people who had yet to offer their loyalties headed to the southern fisheries under Zhang Liang’s lead.
As for Lin Ye, after instructing them about dinner, he went straight to the bunker camp.
As soon as he stepped into the bunker.
The long-awaited system notification sounded continuously.
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your experience bar is full. The current experience bar is 1286%. You will need to use XX Wood and OO Stone depending on your level. Do you wish to start upgrading immediately?”
“12 times of the bar, almost 13. Even if my experience needed increases with each level, it should be enough for me to enter Level 10, right?”
Lin Ye pondered. With his previous experience, he confirmed his choice.
As for the resources needed, that was not a problem.
Soon, the resource page drew out a large amount of wood and stone.
At the same time, the upgrade time appeared in his line of sight.
[Bunker: Level 6 → 7, 15 hours!]
[Bunker: Level 7 → 8, 18 hours!]
[Bunker: Level 8 → 9, 21 hours!]
Total: 54 hours
“D*mn, this is too much!”
Lin Ye raised his eyebrows. He had continuously leveled up and actually failed when he was trying to level up to Level 10.
He looked at the information from the bunker. From Level 9 to 10, the experience required was 520,000.
He had killed nearly 70,000 zombies, so his total experience points were more than 800,000.
Including the experience needed from Level 6 – 9, he was still short of 260,000.
This was not a small number.
He could just level up to Level 9 first, but for someone like Lin Ye who had obsessive-compulsive disorder, he felt terrible.
After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and decided to do it.
It was too late to find a Haunted House now. The soldiers had been killing for the entire day, and they needed to rest.
However, he had better choices. For example, the 200 plus human lords who had just arrived.
Since they had already submitted to him, the graveyards they left behind were useless.
Rather than wasting it, it would be better for him to take advantage of it.
Since he had made up his mind, Lin Ye spread his battle aura wings and immediately soared through the air.
Whoosh—
An invisible ripple of Heart’s Web spread around.
Fortunately, the graveyards of most of the human lords were within the range of Heart’s Web.
Soon, dots of light appeared in Heart’s Web.
Most of these light spots were ownerless bunkers.
In an instant, he soared through the air.
Fortunately, the tycoon’s wrist guard had a large amount of battle energy for him to use, so he did not have to worry about being exhausted from flying.
Soon, he appeared in an ownerless bunker and started devouring it without another word.
The first bunker, the second bunker, the third…
Experience +2,000, Experience +3,000, Experience +2,000…
Fortunately, with his current strength, it took him only a few seconds to conquer these low-level bunkers.
40 minutes later, when he finished conquering the 111th bunker, Lin Ye stopped.
The system sent a congratulatory message. The experience bar of his bunker was finally full.
“It’s finally done.”
He heaved a sigh of relief.
As the lord, he had to work overtime continuously. At this moment, he was so hungry that his tummy was caving in on itself.
When he returned, he must have a good meal and reward himself.
“Hm?”
Suddenly, notifications came from Heart’s Web and Hint.
He suddenly turned around and looked at a dark fog region diagonally opposite him.
“Who?”
