Chapter 226: Jiang Chen Submits, Booking A Harpy Zombie
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“You’re finally willing to come out?”
Seeing the projection of Jiang Chen appear once again, Lin Ye smiled. “If you hadn’t come, I would have used my connections and sent the video to the forum of Hell. Wasn’t this so, Yang Fusheng?”
“Yes, that’s right!”
Yang Fusheng nodded profusely and looked at Jiang Chen. He said arrogantly, “Little Chenchen, be obedient if you know what’s good for you. You should know that I have many friends in hell. It’s easy for me to send a video to the forum.”
Tumble————
Jiang Chen gnashed his teeth and said coldly, “What are you all trying to do? Tell me everything at once. I don’t have time to chat with you.”
“It’s simple. I need Level 5 harpy zombies, the more the better.” Lin Ye said.
The harpy zombie was related to the recruitment order for the Three-tailed fox lady.
With the development of the territory, business in the underworld was imminent.
He had to get this big slice of cake before everyone else developed.
Originally, he had no choice either, but when he saw the ten Level 6 Long-arm Zombies that were brought up to the surface, he suddenly had an idea.
If Jiang Chen could summon higher-level zombies, why couldn’t he summon harpies?
“Five days later!”
Jiang Chen said slowly, “The harpy zombie is a peak Level 5 zombie. At the same time, it is a rare zombie soldier. There are some restrictions for its appearance.”
“The rules clearly state that after the first zombie wave, which is also the eighth day of your Human Descent Calendar, early-stage Level 5 zombies will be allowed to descend. On the ninth day, mid-stage Level 5 zombies will descend. On the tenth day, late-stage Level 5 zombies will appear. On the eleventh day, peak Level 5 zombies will appear. On the twelfth day, rare peak Level 5 zombies will appear.”
“Five days is too long. I need it fast. It’s best if I can get it now. The latest I can do is before the first zombie wave ends.”
Lin Ye shook his head and looked straight at Jiang Chen. He said solemnly, “Don’t try to fool me. A few minutes ago, I personally experienced the power of a Level 6 zombie. I know that you have a way. I only want to ask you one thing. Can you do it?”
“Sure, I can definitely do it, but I’ve paid too much of a price. If you don’t believe me, you can consult Yang Fusheng and ask him how much divine blood is needed to sneak over a peak Class 5 harpy zombie, especially a rare one.”
“Don’t even think about threatening me to submit. Even if this video exposes me, it won’t be any concrete evidence. At most, it will be the black dot in my career as a zombie king. It won’t hurt anything.”
“The two are not equal. It’s better if you state a more reasonable condition. Otherwise, let Yang Fusheng expose me. I can’t do anything to you anyway. Let’s fight to death.”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen looked calm on the surface, but he was actually feeling guilty.
He had set his sights on this season. He was going to fight for the seat of the 72 venerables. If he was caught in the scandal of colluding with humans.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, his qualifications would be directly stripped away. This was the consensus of all intelligent zombies.
After all, there were high-level traitors among the venerables back then, causing heavy losses during that season and countless deaths.
Therefore, no matter what, he would not let Lin Ye publish it.
If worse came to worst… if he insisted any longer, he would agree to Lin Ye’s conditions.
“Is what he said true?” Lin Ye narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Fusheng.
“This… He’s indeed not lying to you. Harpy zombies are a rare species. They are one of the few female powerhouses in the zombie army and are deeply loved by the various zombie kings. Therefore, in the rules of smuggling, it requires a large amount of divine blood to do so,” Yang Fusheng said truthfully.
“Did you hear that? I disdain lying. Hurry up and change your condition. I’m going back to sleep.”
Jiang Chen kept a straight face, looking impatient.
“Heart’s Web!”
Lin Ye secretly activated his talent, and his gaze landed on Jiang Chen for a long time.
Unfortunately, the difference in strength was too great. The emotional particles he saw were actually a bright red color.
The details and emotions were unable to be understood at all.
However, as he hesitated, his infinite perspective from his Heart’s Web seemed to capture a few subtle actions displayed by Jiang Chen.
Swallowing saliva, body stiffening, his hands clasped behind his back…
His expression was also a little unnatural. Especially when his eyes met his, it actually lacked the domineering air that a zombie king should have.
Guilt?
Lin Ye narrowed his eyes. Something that could make the cold-blooded zombie king feel guilty? Was there something going on here? Should he take a gamble?
There was no loss anyway.
Thinking of this, his attitude became extremely unyielding. “Since you can’t meet my requirements, that’s alright. In any case, you are a zombie and you are my enemy. Even if I can’t do anything to you, I’ll disgust you and make you a tainted zombie for life.”
“Yang Fusheng, send the video to your zombie friend immediately and upload it to the forum in Hell. Make it as big as possible. Also, every ten thousand reposts will be rewarded with 1 liter of human blood. I’m going to completely piss him off!”
“1 liter of human blood? F*ck, you’re too generous. Hahaha, don’t worry. I’ll help you unconditionally when it comes to Jiang Chen. There’s also the temptation of so much blood. If I don’t pin this old fellow to the shame of the zombie race, I, Yang Fusheng, will write my name backward!”
At the mention of dealing with Jiang Chen, Yang Fusheng was so excited that his green eyes were almost glowing.
“Wait!!!”
Seeing this, Jiang Chen could no longer keep his fake expression straight.
These two were too cruel!
He had never seen such a human and zombie pair in his life.
The worst part was that he could not kill them. That was what infuriated him the most.
Yang Fusheng was about to copy the video over from Lin Ye’s Civilization Archive.
Before he could do so, Jiang Chen hurriedly said, “Alright, I’ve agreed. I’ve agreed. Don’t give it to Yang Fusheng!”
“Oh, I didn’t know that you are a zombie king who cares about your face,” Lin Ye teased with a smile.
“Ahem, at least I’m a decent zombie king. With a stain on my back, how can I survive in the zombie world in the future?” Jiang Chen coughed lightly, his attitude becoming much gentler. It was completely different from the roaring zombie king he was previously.
“Bullshit, you probably want to run for the venerable seat, right?” Yang Fusheng narrowed his eyes and said suspiciously.
Ten minutes ago, when he was wanted by the Ninth Venerable, Jiang Chen had said that he wanted to use the reward he would get from turning in Yang Fusheng to get a chance of becoming one of the 72 venerables.
To run for the seat of a venerable, one’s reputation and strength amongst zombies was of utmost importance.
A zombie king with a stain on its name, no matter how strong it was, had no hope in this life to become a venerable.
The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.
Yang Fusheng’s suspicious gaze made Jiang Chen shudder.
Had he been discovered?
No way, he had been hiding it well. Even Yang Tianyou didn’t know about it.
How did this little thief know?
It must have been a wild guess.
With this thought in mind, he stubbornly said, “Don’t speak nonsense. A venerable has such a respected status, how can I take over his seat? Don’t harm me. Blood can be sucked randomly, but words cannot be spoken randomly. If other venerables supervising this place hear this, I will suffer greatly.”
“Alright, let’s stop this topic. Cut the crap. Tell me first. When will the harpy arrive? How many of them? I want the exact number!”
Lin Ye forced himself to change the subject.
Honestly speaking, he was not interested in whether Jiang Chen wanted to become a venerable or not. He wanted to settle the things he wanted first.
After this, he would continue slowly milking things out from the other party.. Since the video was in his hands, there was nothing to be afraid of.
