“What the f*ck! Two huge fish were actually lured out!”
Lin Ye felt incredulous when he pressed the pause button.
Zao Zige and Rang Ti were the team members of a certain professional gaming team in China who was incredibly popular.
Although he had not played that game for a long time, it was still a part of his lost youth.
Oh, how about adding each other as friends first then?
If I have a chance in the future, I’ll lure all the gaming professionals here, form a team, and let the four of them carry me in-game. I’ll experience what it feels like to sit on a carry ride…
However, after some thought, Lin Ye gave up on this unrealistic idea.
This was a different world. If he were to go back to his life in China, the difference would not be small.
Moreover, the current situation did not allow it. He could not lose his ambition just because he wanted to play around.
He would start as a Lone Wolf, relying on his talent to dominate a region before enjoying such things.
At the same time, the pinned video ended.
The number of likes finally stopped at 920 million. It was much better than expected.
“D*mn it, I almost broke through to 1 billion likes, just short of the last 100 million!!! My dream of 1 billion likes is gone!!!”
Dong Wei knelt on the ground and lamented.
“Look at how smug you are.”
Lin Ye cast a sidelong glance at him. This fellow looked like he was wailing, but he was actually feeling pretty smug inside.
Under the Heart’s Web view.
The brilliant red light above his head was almost condensing into a demonic smiley face of Jin Guangchang. (The orange-red from anger was very different from the brilliant red from happiness)
He cast a sidelong glance at Dong Wei.
Lin Ye just didn’t want to dampen his enthusiasm.
In fact, if not for the 100xReward, the most this video would have received would be at most 9.2 million likes.
From this, one could see the difficulty of opening the market page early on.
After all, no matter how many benefits he put on the market, most people from foreign countries were destined to not get them.
In the early stages, the market’s area range was too small. The range was one thing, but some people did not want him to grow strong at all and stepped on him crazily.
In addition, some of them were focused on killing zombies outside, farming, and developing, so they had no time to pay attention to the chat channels…
There were also people who did not know how to use the Civilization Archive. They might not even be able to open the world channel.
For example, his mother, Zhang Cuiling.
If she did not have Captain Wang Hui’s guidance, he would not have been able to contact her.
This was the difference between knowing how to use a smartphone and not.
The aging of the global population was a serious problem, and many people from the previous generation have never used smartphones.
In summary, being able to obtain 920 million likes was already considered quite a great feat.
A moment later, the system sent a congratulatory message.
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have accumulated a total of 920 million likes from the likes mission. The market will cover a range of 9.2 million square kilometers. You are only allowed to do 1 popularity mission per week. Time till the next mission: 7 days.”
“9.2 million square kilometers. Wow, that’s about the same size as China. Also… this popularity quest is actually repeatable.”
“The next time is seven days later?”
Lin Ye nodded to himself and asked Zhang Bao’er to note the time down to prevent himself from forgetting.
After some thought, he said, “Zhang Liang, organize a group of human loyalists. You will be the bridge, create a chat group and include your family in it. The range of my market should be enough to cover most citizens of China. If your family is in trouble, you can use your contribution points in advance and borrow resources from me to resolve the crisis. As for the debt, I’ll calculate it according to contribution points. In any case, you just have to work hard for me.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Gong, Zhang Bao’er, and the others’ eyes turned red with excitement.
Tonight was the day when the protection mechanism came off. Their families could not compare to them who had encountered a great person like Lin Ye.
Many people had problems securing enough food. Whether they could survive through tonight was difficult to say as well.
They had been hiding these things in their hearts and had been hesitating on whether they could ask their lord for help. They did not expect the Lord to take the initiative to offer.
For a moment, every loyalist was extremely touched and tears welled up in their eyes.
“Long live our Lord!”
“My lord is incomparably handsome. You will always be a god in my heart!”
“My lord, I love you!”
….
“Get lost, I only like women!”
Lin Ye scolded jokingly and joined Zhang Liang’s chat group first.
Soon, he realized that other than him, another newcomer had joined the chat group. Zhang Guozhong, a person with Zhang as his surname…
Zhang Liang’s father?
He looked up at Zhang Liang.
“It’s my father.” Zhang Liang scratched his head and smiled.
“The trading icon is lit. He’s within the trading range. I’ve given you the authority. Send the Purifying Pill to your father yourself. You can send other supplies and even Zombie Souls. You can send a maximum of 1,000 souls per person. If you don’t have enough, ask me for more.”
“Thank you, my lord. You are generous!” Zhang Liang was moved to tears as he hurriedly went to trade with his father.
“What a filial son.”
Lin Ye sighed when he saw this. This was also the reason why he admired Zhang Liang.
After that, he sent a bunch of resources to his family on the family channel.
Especially his father, Lin Jianguo. He had an injury on his waist caused by his early years as a soldier. It was fine if it did not flare up, but once it did, it would become extremely painful.
It was a pity that he only had the Purifying Pill for healing corpse poison. It was not good for healing injuries.
But this was not a problem for Lin Ye.
If the medicinal effect was not good enough, he would make up for it with quantity.
He opened the box and gave Zhang Liang one. There were 99 of them in the huge meru ring.
He gave 50 to his father, 20 to his sister, and 20 to his mother.
And 30,000 Zombie Souls each.
It was better for his mother not to expose her relationship with him.
Just in case, Lin Ye gave the Class 3 Purple Star Armor that he had changed out of to his mother.
This thing could be worn. Unless it was a crisis, outsiders would not be able to see it anyway.
In the early stages, it could be considered a divine artifact used to protect lives.
His father and sister did not have such concerns. Their development was slow.
For the time being, he gave them a few sets of Class 3 Purple Tier weapons, Class 3 Purple Tier armor, and about 10 blueprints of Class 2 Light Armored Shield Soldier which he would stop using.
Then, he told them the details about the Four Sacred Halls.
When the time came, they should try their best to obtain it.
With Class 3 equipment protecting them, combined with a large number of Class 2 light armored shield soldiers, should be enough to sweep everything out in their region.
After settling his family matters, the karma prediction given by hint finally disappeared.
It meant that his father’s crisis was averted.
When he saw this, Lin Ye felt like all his meridians were loosened, and his entire body felt extremely relaxed.
“My lord, we still have work to wrap up. You have to come personally.” Dong Wei pointed at the market page and reminded him.
“Alright, take a rest first. Little Xue, make a cup of tea for Dong Wei and the others. It’s better to celebrate together than to do it alone. Try the expensive tea and see if it’s fragrant. At the same time, let those people who have yet to join us get jealous.”
Lin Ye gave him a look and directly hinted.
“Don’t worry, my lord. Leave this matter to me. Where can I find such conditions? I’ll use some tricks. Give me three days and I promise to get 90% to be loyal.”
Zhang Liang also sent the purifying pill to his father. The knot in his heart disappeared as he patted his chest and laughed.
“It’s good that you’re confident. When you succeed, I’ll send your father another batch of resources to ensure that he will be safe from the zombie wave seven days later.”
Lin Ye smiled and ignored Zhang Liang who was crazy happy. He finished the sweet tea in his cup in one go, picked up the Civilization Archive, and entered China’s Regional Channel.
At this moment, the only people they could trade with were the people from China. There was no need to go to the world channel to attract hatred.
Moments later, he got another 2,000 Zombie Souls.
He chose a background for a Godly Monarch’s appearance.
Rumble!
In an instant, a strange phenomenon appeared on the chat screen of China.
33 Levels of Immortal Palaces in the sky, nine-colored clouds covered the sky, celestial maidens scattering flowers, dragons, and phoenixes together…
Whoosh—
A divine throne filled encased in immortal fog descended.
They could vaguely see a tall figure sitting on it. His hands were clasped together in front of the bridge of his nose.
When he raised his head, his eyes revealed divine splendor, carrying a kingly aura as he swept his gaze through the world.
“Lord Lin Ye has arrived!”
