Going back in time a little.
A few seconds ago, when Lin Ye was filled with killing intent, Zhang Liang’s vision turned red.
His ‘hint’ talent kept sending warnings.
[Hint: Your lord is overwhelmed by greed and wants to kill you!]
[Hint: Give up your identity as a Lord and sacrifice your loyalty to the Lord Lin Ye. At the same time, cut 1% of the talent’s fragment and give it to the Lord! This way, you have a high chance of obtaining the Lord’s forgiveness!]
[Hint: Submit to the Lord and your father may have a chance at survival!]
[Final Hint: Give up your identity as a Lord. The ‘Hint’ talent’s level will drop and you will become a Shattered. You will lose all hope of advancing!]
“Father will have a chance of survival? Is this… true?!”
The other three were ignored by Zhang Liang, and this was the most important one in his eyes.
He was overjoyed. “Sacrifice, I’ll give all my loyalty! I want to become Boss Lin’s right-hand man!”
At this moment, the lives of his family were more important than anything else.
As for the ambitions that were once burning…
Perhaps when he awakened his talent in the beginning he had some ambition, but over the past two days, he had been beaten down daily by Tru and the others, as well as the terrifying rate of development of Lin Ye.
His ambitions were almost completely eroded.
Among the many human subjects, he was the first to witness the rise of Lin Ye.
The terrifying drop rate of resources could be felt with just one look.
At this moment, he didn’t want to think about anything else. He just wanted the Lord to be merciful and protect his family.
Although he did not know why the talent was so certain, he would rather believe that it was true.
After all, his talent had never disappointed him.
Thinking of this, his mind cleared up.
Everything was destined!
When he first met Lin Ye, his talent had already hinted at it once.
If he chose to submit, he would eventually become Lin Ye’s right-hand man. Rather than that, he might as well become Lin Ye’s loyal follower.
With that, he erased his identity as a Lord in his Civilization Archive and offered 100% loyalty to Lin Ye.
A moment later, Lin Ye received the gift and the system sent a reward.
[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have obtained the loyalty of the human lord, Zhang Liang. Loyalty level is 100%. At the same time, as your first top-class talent loyalist, you will receive a portion of Zhang Liang’s talent fragment.]
“You have obtained the top-class talent, Hint’s fragment!”
Note: ‘Hint’ talent. It has powerful effects such as pre-warning, searching for treasures, predicting karma, etc.
100xReward.
1. 100 top-class ‘hint’ talent fragments! (Shattered, unable to level. Combining the shattered pieces to its complete self will consume Zombie Souls)
2. A complete ‘hint’ talent crystal!
3. Randomly rewarded with a complete Talent Crystal (50% Normal Talent, 30% Medium Talent, 15% Higher Higher Talent, 4.9999% Top Talent, 0.0000001% God-level Talent)
F*ck!
So powerful!
‘Hint’ Talent?
This was actually a top-class talent!!!
It was one level higher than the Heart’s Web Talent, second only to his God-tier Talent, 100xReward!
This was a huge profit!
Lin Ye was excited.
He conveniently excluded option 3. These kinds of surface things were completely useless.
If it was an ordinary trashy talent, he wouldn’t mind giving it a try.
Using a top-class talent to gamble was stupid!
The only dilemma was…
After obtaining the Heart’s Web from the Treasure Giving Boy, he suddenly had an idea.
With the aid of 100xReward, in this…
There seemed to be a bug!
If he chose 1, he could give the 100 fragments to others and kill them all. Then, he would have unlimited talent fragments.
After that, he can put the gathered fragments together again.
Perhaps, he could gather all the Talent Crystals in the shortest time possible and immediately become the protagonist of this season.
“Why don’t we give it a try?”
Lin Ye was a little tempted and could not help but glance at Niu Wei who was only left with half a breath.
He was a dead man anyway. Be my tool and I’ll give you a glorious burial later!
That’s settled then.
“I choose option 1!”
As soon as he finished speaking, over 100 Talent Fragments appeared before his eyes.
“!!!”
Low-level native workers and soldiers were still ignorant, but Adelia, Gran, Tru, and the others were people who had seen a lot.
After a moment of confusion, their eyes widened.
Talent Crystal Fragments!!
The legendary Talent Crystal Fragments!!!
My god! Look at the glow! It’s at least of high quality, yet there were so many of them!
“Rumble—”
The three of them involuntarily gulped.
Even though they were all at the Shattered level, if they were to assimilate it into their bodies, they would be able to become awakened individuals at least, and their battle prowess would definitely soar.
“My lord?”
At this moment, Gran noticed that Lin Ye had picked up one of them and was walking towards Niu Wei.
The next moment, his eyes widened.
“Don’t do it, my Lord. This is a priceless Talent Crystal Fragment. It’s a waste to use it on a person about to die!!!”
“Don’t speak. I know what I’m doing.”
Lin Ye glanced at him, grabbed Niu Wei’s mouth and threw the talent fragment inside.
“Mm??”
Niu Wei, who already had half a breath left, experienced his second bout of terminal lucidity.
“Didn’t I die?”
He looked up dazedly and opened his eyes.
What he saw was Lin Ye with an expectant face, glowing in the sunlight, followed by a glaring red warning.
[Hint: Your Lord has the intention to kill you. You will become a test subject and die without a doubt!]
[Hint: Your brain tissue has been completely destroyed. Vitality has decreased by 92%. You need a Class 9 Light Priest to cast their Sacred Healing on you to recover!]
“Talent? Hint? An Awakened!!!”
“Damn it, I must be the legendary protagonist. Before I died, I became an Awakened! This is the golden finger of the protagonist!”
“Hahaha, this talent is simply too amazing. He can even find treasures and warn others. That bastard Lin Ye must have also been an Awakened. Hehe, now that I’m on the same starting line as him, I’ll surrender first and save my life. At the critical moment, I’ll stab him in the back and steal everything from him. Perfect!”
“Niu Wei, you’re really a genius!”
Just as Niu Wei was feeling pleased, his talent issued another warning.
[Hint: Your vitality is decreasing constantly, 7% → 6% → 5%…]
“Boss Lin Ye, my Lord, save me. I’ve awakened my talent. As long as you save me, I’ll be your lackey. Hurry up and save me. I don’t want to die. I’m still single. I haven’t married. My Niu family has only one heir. I can’t let my line end here!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ye’s cold face greeted him.
Under Heart’s Web view.
This lad had a green halo above his head just now. It was obvious that he was begging for mercy on the surface, but in reality, he was mocking him in his heart.
He might be scolding him badly.
What a naughty little brat!
Master Lin doesn’t believe you. Besides, he was already beaten up by Zhang Liang. Even Priest Gran couldn’t save him. What could he do then?
Just accept your fate.
[Hint: Your vitality is decreasing constantly, 2% → 1% → 0, you are dead…]
“No!”
“I have just awakened my golden finger. I haven’t become the main character yet!!!”
“I can’t accept this. Zhang Liang, you were the one who caused this. F*ck your ancestors!”
At the last second, Niu Wei’s eyes widened in horror. He revealed his longing for the world of living and let out his final roar.
Lin Ye could not care less and quickly searched for the talent fragment which dropped.
“You have obtained a ‘hint’ talent fragment!”
