On the other side, in the territory.
Tru was still leading the new recruits to massacre the zombies happily.
Meanwhile, Lin Ye and the others were standing on the high platform of the territory.
They looked on at the fight with interest, gossiping about who was killing more and who was fighting more bravely.
“My lord, I’ve already thought it through. From now on, I’ll be called Lin Dachui. I’ll have your surname, my original name, and it’ll match my profession perfectly.”
“Lin Dachui. When I become famous and forge weapons in the future, I’ll take 80 zombie souls for each hammer. We’ll be rich!”
As they chatted, chief blacksmith Lin Dachui was unwilling to fall behind. He felt that he had thought of a groundbreaking name and proudly reported it to his lord.
“Look at you being proud about that.”
Lin Ye rolled his eyes and was too lazy to even comment. What was there to be proud of with such a lousy name?
He was the only one who liked it.
Looking at the ignorant Lin Dachui, he continued, “You’ve just advanced to Class 2. If you have that ambition, focus on learning Class 2 forging techniques. It just so happens that a blueprint for a blue tier black iron longsword dropped not long ago. Use that to practice. If you break it, throw it to the new recruits for them to play with it.”
“Practice well. I might as well let you in a little. In a few days, I want to build a full platoon of Class 3 wolf cavalry soldiers.”
“When the time comes, if you screw up in terms of your skill, don’t blame me for recruiting other blacksmiths.”
The bunker had reached Level 5. As long as the treasure chest dropped a Class 2 or 3 recruitment order, he could easily recruit higher-class workers.
Thus, these words weren’t meant to intimidate Lin Dachui, but to remind him.
“Class 3 Wolf Cavalry Soldiers!”
Upon hearing that, Lin Dachui immediately put away his distracting thoughts, his eyes nearly glowing.
He chuckled and said, “Lord, you should have said so earlier. I’m good at forging equipment. Moreover, Class 2 and 3 blacksmiths from the underworld are all arrogant and not loyal.”
“They only work three to four hours a day. Any more and they will lose their loyalty to you. In the end, not only will you have to pay their recruitment fee, they will even escape back to the underworld before the work is completed. This is a common routine for them. Unlike them, working overtime every day for us is as easy as playing.”
“Alright, stop joking around. Bring the 500 new blacksmiths to familiarize themselves with the environment. Prepare the 1,000 sets of equipment for the light armored shield soldiers before noon tomorrow before you boast to me.”
Lin Ye waved his hand. He couldn’t be bothered to argue with Lin Dachui. If he had the time, he might as well watch Tru and the others kill zombies.
A moment later, the next zombie wave surged into the battlefield and clashed with thousands of new recruits, the field thrown in chaos.
Lin Ye’s mouth was dry from watching. He turned his head to look at the kitchen on the side of the bunker and shouted, “Nicole, is the steak I want ready? Give me another cup of the ’82’ cola which I dropped during the day and use a glass to hold it.”
“Oh, sure,” Nicole replied.
As a matter of fact, she had already prepared the lord’s meal, but she was a little apprehensive.
After all, she was only a beginner chef. She could handle simple instant noodles with no problem.
However, food like steak from the other world was not something she could handle easily.
In the end, she could only try cooking it according to her own talent and didn’t know if it tasted good.
Soon, the female chef walked onto the platform with a wooden plate and a glass of cola.
The other chefs were tactful. They even carried the dining table that Tru had made to please Lin Ye and placed it in front of him for him to eat.
“My lord, this is the steak and cola you wanted.”
Nicole carefully placed it on the dining table and said nervously, “I hope it suits your taste.”
Lin Ye nodded. As he watched the light armored shield soldiers beat up the zombies, he leisurely used his blue tier weapon, New Moon Blade, to cut the steak and eat it.
“The taste is a little off, and the texture isn’t good either.” Lin Ye frowned. Compared to the delicious breakfast toast, the dinner steak was a little unsatisfactory.
This standard was about the same as him.
However, thinking that this was a different world in which condiments were far inferior to Earth, he did not mind.
He casually tossed Nicole a chef upgrade scroll.
“For… Advanced?!” Before Nicole could react, the eyes of the Priest Gran turned red.
He was a Class 3 Light Priest and was too familiar with the power of Class 3.
The golden ripples emitted from the upgrade scroll were definitely for Class 3.
Hearing that, Nicole was shocked.
She looked at Lin Ye in disbelief. She was so excited that she became incoherent. “My lord, I… I!”
“If I give it to you, accept it. My quality of life must not decrease. In the future, do your best. I won’t listen to explanations.” Lin Ye said with a straight face.
“Yes, my lord. Next time, I will definitely make the most delicious steak.” Nicole accepted the upgrade scroll and promised.
Lin Ye responded symbolically.
After some thought, he decided to do a test.
He took out his Civilization Archive, took a photo of the steak and cola, and asked Priest Gran to take a full-body photo of him.
The backdrop happened to be the battle between the zombie wave and Tru and the others, while he looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and enjoyed the delicious food.
He clicked on his family channel and sent it!
“???”
Moments later, someone @ him in the channel.
There was no need to guess. It was his younger sister, Lin Wei.
Lin Wei: “Brother, did you discover a loophole? The development of your territory is too fast. If you did, tell me. I’m your biological sister. You can’t leave me in the lurch. Sobs, these smelly zombies are bullying me for having too few subordinates. I want to take off too. I want to fight the zombies with an overwhelming force too. Also, I want steak and red wine. Tell me quickly, brother ~”
Lin Ye thought about it and said truthfully, “There is indeed a loophole.”
When he said that, his parents who were watching from the side could no longer remain calm.
Lin Jianguo hurriedly said, “Beibei, is what you said true?”
His mother, Zhang Cuiling, also interjected, “Don’t leave us hanging. Hurry up and tell us. There’s nothing we can’t tell our family.”
Lin Ye pondered. He didn’t dare to say it before.
He was afraid that his family members would be disappointed if he told them that the system had only given him the talent.
But Zhang Liang’s matter gave him hope.
Other than him, other people seemed to have a chance, but the trigger conditions were unknown.
For him, it was due to the intense fluctuations in his consciousness. Zhang Liang’s was probably due to his mental state exploding. It was more or less related to the mind.
After voicing his suspicions, the channel fell into a short silence.
Lin Wei: “Fluctuations in willpower? Ah, this thing is so vague and there’s no special measuring device. Who knows how to trigger it?”
Lin Ye said, “You can try to train yourself. For example, stare at a certain spot without moving your eyes. After staring for a long time, you can train your willpower or try practicing your martial arts. This place is different from Earth. Everyone’s way of triggering their talent is definitely different. You can try other methods.”
Lin Wei: “I see, I’ll give it a try then. I’ll practice Eight Trigram Palms a hundred times today. What if it really awakens?”
With that, her sister ran off in a hurry.
Lin Ye shook his head.. He was still planning to chat with his mother and the others when he realized that Zhang Liang, who was tied up not too far away, was struggling desperately.
