nGasp!

nThe strange arrow which was wrapped in blue energy collided with the tree!

nThere was no violent explosion like he had imagined. Instead, there were slight fluctuations in the air.

nThat did not mean that the shot was not powerful. On the contrary, it was unimaginably powerful.

nThe huge tree which had a width of three people’s arm length was pierced by the arrow instantly like a tofu.

nLin Ye gaped as he stared unbelievingly.

nThis offense power was probably much stronger than his own purple tier weapon, the Desert Eagle.

n“Too weak!”

nUnfortunately, even so, someone still complained unhappily, “If it was my Wind Howl, the shot would at least have a blast area as big as a water bucket.. This Fist Strip Bow is trashier than I thought. I thought it could withstand half of my elemental power, but it could only hold one-third of it. Ew, what trash!”

n“…”

nLin Ye didn’t get angry when he looked at Adelia who was dissatisfied with her weapon.

nFrom the system’s evaluation, Adelia had an offensive power to go even beyond her Class to kill a Level 4 Zombie. This blue tier fish stripe bow was indeed not worthy of her.

nHopefully when the territory expanded further, he would be able to find more treasure chests.

nAs long as he could get a blueprint for a bow-type weapon, even if it was a white tier one, he was confident that he could make Adelia’s combat power soar.

n“My lord!”

nAt this moment, everyone had just recovered from the terrifying might of the arrow and hurriedly greeted Lin Ye.

n“It’s fine, I’m just looking around.”

nLin Ye smiled and continued, “Everyone has worked hard today. I’ll add an extra menu for lunch. There will be fish meat and fish soup. When the construction on the native workers’ side is completed, everyone can rest and have lunch.”

n“Long live our lord!” The blacksmiths were overjoyed.

nFish and beef were the most scarce resources in the underworld. Their value was comparable to Zombie Souls.

nLow-class workers like them didn’t even usually have the right to smell it.

nPreviously, they had heard from the native workers next door.

nAll of the native workers who had been recruited last night, regardless of whether they were of noble or low status, were treated equally. All of them ate beef instant noodles and pork skewers.

nThey were all shocked.

nThey wouldn’t have believed it if it was anyone else, but this was Lin Ye.

nIt was believable then.

nJust think about it, why would a lord who could let them squander resources to forge weapons be stingy over small things like living supplies?

nImmediately, all the blacksmiths felt the fatigue on them vanishing, and working seemed to become easier.

nCongratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your Blacksmiths’ satisfaction towards life here has increased. Loyalty has reached 75%. Forging speed has increased by 15%!

nLin Ye nodded, then turned his gaze to Adelia. She was expressionless, and Lin Ye sighed inwardly.

nAs expected of a noble. Her standard of living was much higher than that of native workers and blacksmiths. The others were extremely excited about the lunch and offered their precious loyalty for it.

nHowever, Adelia did not react. It was as if all her attention was on the fish stripe bow in her hand.

n“What are you thinking about?” Lin Ye smiled.

n“Oh, it’s the lord.”

nAdelia tilted her head and said in distress, “I’m thinking about how to integrate the wind element to its greatest efficiency. Although this fish stripe bow has magic attributes, the materials are of poor quality and the forging blueprint is rudimentary. It’s not compatible with me. I need to work on its affinity with the wind element.”

n“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. Take this bow as a spare. I’ll get you a new one in two days.”

nLin Ye pulled Adelia aside and whispered, “Can humans cultivate the elemental power you just used?”

n“My lord wants it?” Adelia raised her head and looked surprised.

nThis matter wasn’t a secret among the various races underground.

nEvery time a human discovered a special power above Class 3, they would have thoughts of stealing it.

n“Yes, very much.” Lin Ye nodded sincerely.

n“You can if you want, but…” Adelia looked hesitant.

nThere was something else?

nLin Ye’s eyes immediately lit up. Since he was young, he has been interested in inner energy and the battle aura which he read about in novels.

nEven in his dreams, he wanted to soar into the skies and dig into the earth to become an invincible existence.

nNow, there seemed to be hope.

nHe suppressed his excitement and looked at the troubled look on Adelia’s face. “Do I need to pay anything?”

n“That’s right. Whether it’s elemental power or other forms of energy, it’s a unique talent that God bestowed upon the people of this world. Logically speaking, humans of other worlds have no way of obtaining it, but everything has its ways.”

n“According to the ancient records, the Gods took pity on the human race and left sharing contracts around the world.”

n“As long as you can find a contract and bind a strong person with magical energy to it, you will be able to obtain a potential equal to the person bound by the contract. The more powerful the bound person is, the stronger the lord’s potential will be.”

n“A sharing contract…”

nLin Ye mumbled the term and made a mental note of it. “Then where can I get it?”

n“There are only three methods that I know of. The first is through a silver and above treasure chest, the second is to kill a Level 3 and above zombie. The higher its level, the higher the chance of dropping a contract. The third is through a Haunted House, and the probability of getting it is highest with this method.”

n“Haunted Houses are the gathering point for zombies in the area. Every one or two thousand meters, there will be a Haunted House.”

n“They are connected to hell, and they can summon countless zombies without limit. It’s very dangerous, and few people dare to barge in recklessly.”

n“The known drop rate of getting a Level 1 sharing contract after destroying a Level 1 Haunted House is 90%, 80% chance of getting a Level 2 sharing contract, and 70% chance of getting a Level 3 contract. A Level 2 Haunted House can drop contracts from Level 4 to 6, while a Level 3 Haunted House will drop contracts from Level 7 to 9. Anything above that is beyond my knowledge,” answered Adelia honestly.

n“A haunted house!” Lin Ye’s eyes lit up.

nAs expected, the place where the zombies were gathering in the north was probably where it was located..

nWhen the army of soldiers was done, he would go to destroy the Haunted House.

nAs he spoke, Worker One returned with his three hundred fellow workers.

nAfter five hours of hard labor, they successfully built 100 tents, 100 fisheries, and 50 barracks.

nHe praised Worker One.

nAt this moment, Nicole, who was standing outside the bunker, stuck her head out and gave Lin Ye an OK sign.

n

n

nLin Ye nodded and called out to Worker One, “Go to the platform and call everyone to eat.”

n“Alrighty!”

nWhen he heard the word ‘eat’, Worker One’s eyes looked especially spirited as he ran up the platform with large strides.

nOn the platform.

nIt was a platform made of piled up tombstones from the graveyard.

nA place for the lord to speak.

nHe had already thought of changing this thing into metal once the conditions were better.

nIt would be best if it was gold. That would look the best.

nWith regards to this, Worker One couldn’t care less. His gaze swept across the blacksmiths who were still working overtime in the armory and shouted, “The lord has ordered everyone to rest! It’s time for lunch!”

nAfter he finished speaking, pairs of green eyes shone as they rushed into the courtyard like an army of Taoties.
