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…”
1
…
“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.
