nGoing back in time a little.

nA few seconds ago, when Lin Ye was filled with killing intent, Zhang Liang’s vision turned red.

nHis ‘hint’ talent kept sending warnings.

nHint: Your lord is overwhelmed by greed and wants to kill you!

nHint: 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!

nHint: Submit to the Lord and your father may have a chance at survival!

nFinal 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!

n“Father will have a chance of survival? Is this… true?!”

nThe other three were ignored by Zhang Liang, and this was the most important one in his eyes.

n

n

nHe was overjoyed. “Sacrifice, I’ll give all my loyalty! I want to become Boss Lin’s right-hand man!”

nAt this moment, the lives of his family were more important than anything else.

nAs for the ambitions that were once burning…

nPerhaps 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.

nHis ambitions were almost completely eroded.

nAmong the many human subjects, he was the first to witness the rise of Lin Ye.

nThe terrifying drop rate of resources could be felt with just one look.

nAt this moment, he didn’t want to think about anything else. He just wanted the Lord to be merciful and protect his family.

nAlthough he did not know why the talent was so certain, he would rather believe that it was true.

nAfter all, his talent had never disappointed him.

nThinking of this, his mind cleared up.

nEverything was destined!

nWhen he first met Lin Ye, his talent had already hinted at it once.

nIf 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.

nWith that, he erased his identity as a Lord in his Civilization Archive and offered 100% loyalty to Lin Ye.

nA moment later, Lin Ye received the gift and the system sent a reward.

nCongratulations 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.

n“You have obtained the top-class talent, Hint’s fragment!”

nNote: ‘Hint’ talent. It has powerful effects such as pre-warning, searching for treasures, predicting karma, etc.

n100xReward.

n1. 100 top-class ‘hint’ talent fragments! (Shattered, unable to level. Combining the shattered pieces to its complete self will consume Zombie Souls)

n2. A complete ‘hint’ talent crystal!

n3. 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)

nF*ck!

nSo powerful!

n‘Hint’ Talent?

nThis was actually a top-class talent!!!

nIt was one level higher than the Heart’s Web Talent, second only to his God-tier Talent, 100xReward!

nThis was a huge profit!

nLin Ye was excited.

nHe conveniently excluded option 3. These kinds of surface things were completely useless.

nIf it was an ordinary trashy talent, he wouldn’t mind giving it a try.

nUsing a top-class talent to gamble was stupid!

nThe only dilemma was…

nAfter obtaining the Heart’s Web from the Treasure Giving Boy, he suddenly had an idea.

nWith the aid of 100xReward, in this…

nThere seemed to be a bug!

nIf he chose 1, he could give the 100 fragments to others and kill them all. Then, he would have unlimited talent fragments.

nAfter that, he can put the gathered fragments together again.

nPerhaps, he could gather all the Talent Crystals in the shortest time possible and immediately become the protagonist of this season.

n“Why don’t we give it a try?”

nLin Ye was a little tempted and could not help but glance at Niu Wei who was only left with half a breath.

nHe was a dead man anyway. Be my tool and I’ll give you a glorious burial later!

nThat’s settled then.

n“I choose option 1!”

nAs soon as he finished speaking, over 100 Talent Fragments appeared before his eyes.

n“!!!”

nLow-level native workers and soldiers were still ignorant, but Adelia, Gran, Tru, and the others were people who had seen a lot.

nAfter a moment of confusion, their eyes widened.

nTalent Crystal Fragments!!

nThe legendary Talent Crystal Fragments!!!

nMy god! Look at the glow! It’s at least of high quality, yet there were so many of them!

n“Rumble—”

nThe three of them involuntarily gulped.

nEven 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.

n“My lord?”

nAt this moment, Gran noticed that Lin Ye had picked up one of them and was walking towards Niu Wei.

nThe next moment, his eyes widened.

n“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!!!”

n“Don’t speak. I know what I’m doing.”

nLin Ye glanced at him, grabbed Niu Wei’s mouth and threw the talent fragment inside.

n“Mm??”

nNiu Wei, who already had half a breath left, experienced his second bout of terminal lucidity.

n“Didn’t I die?”

nHe looked up dazedly and opened his eyes.

nWhat he saw was Lin Ye with an expectant face, glowing in the sunlight, followed by a glaring red warning.

nHint: Your Lord has the intention to kill you. You will become a test subject and die without a doubt!

nHint: 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!

n“Talent? Hint? An Awakened!!!”

n“Damn it, I must be the legendary protagonist. Before I died, I became an Awakened! This is the golden finger of the protagonist!”

n“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!”

n“Niu Wei, you’re really a genius!”

nJust as Niu Wei was feeling pleased, his talent issued another warning.

nHint: Your vitality is decreasing constantly, 7% → 6% → 5%…

n“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!”

nAs soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ye’s cold face greeted him.

nUnder Heart’s Web view.

nThis 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.

nHe might be scolding him badly.

n

n

nWhat a naughty little brat!

nMaster 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?

nJust accept your fate.

nHint: Your vitality is decreasing constantly, 2% → 1% → 0, you are dead…

n“No!”

n“I have just awakened my golden finger. I haven’t become the main character yet!!!”

n“I can’t accept this. Zhang Liang, you were the one who caused this. F*ck your ancestors!”

nAt 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.

nLin Ye could not care less and quickly searched for the talent fragment which dropped.

n“You have obtained a ‘hint’ talent fragment!”

n
