Chapter 84: Not Worth Mentioning, Don’t Say That I’m Awesome!
“It’s fortunate that I’m smart, giving up some money to avoid a disaster. Not only did I stabilize their loyalty, I even made an earning.”
Seeing that all the soldiers had submitted to him, Lin Ye patted the ashes off his clothes and revealed a satisfied smile.
“My lord, I’ve just calculated for you. There are 3,753 soldiers. 10 Zombie Souls for each of them. There’s also the reward for killing zombies and picking up treasure chests. With that, you will need to spend at least 46,000 Zombie Souls,” Jiang Gong reminded kindly as a graduate from the science and engineering department.
“Compared to loyalty, is this considered much?” Lin Ye cast a sidelong glance at him. “Little Gong, life is long. You have to have foresight and be magnanimous. In the future, you would be the manager of the territory’s ten million toilets. You can’t be so stingy, understand?”
“…” Jiang Gong secretly gave himself a slap. You owe me!
This was great. Originally, he was only designing the toilet blueprint. Now, he was demoted to a toilet manager.
“I was just joking with you.”
Noticing that the other party’s expression darkened, Lin Ye smiled and said, “By the way, how’s the designing of the toilet going? I’ve found a few good things here which are ready to be given to you.”
He was not lying. He had purchased many things from the Reputation Shop and his level was increasing rapidly.
Every time it leveled up, there would be a greyed-out item summary appearing on the shelves of the Reputation Shop. Amongst them were a few treasures that were extremely compatible with the toilet.
It was just a little pricier. After this matter was over, he had to gain some reputation points from Zhang Bao’er and the rest.
Before Jiang Gong could reply, cheers sounded from afar.
The last zombie was killed by a new recruit.
In that instant, the system sent him a piece of good news.
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You are the first human lord to destroy a one-star Haunted House in this world. You have three choices.”
“1. Global Notification. Reward: 10,000 Reputation points. 2. Regional Notification. Reward: 5,000 Reputation points. 3. Territory-wide Notification. Reward: 1,000 Reputation points. Please make your choice within 10 seconds. If you don’t, it will be considered as giving the reward up.”
What a trashy system. You wanted me to be hated by others? Is the owner of this ability so vain and greedy for fame?
One word for you: Shallow!
“System, I have no need to consider. I choose option one.”
Lin Ye immediately spoke.
He had no interest in being famous or pretending to be someone special which would offend people for no reason.
But these 10,000 reputation points were too enticing.
When it triggers the 100xReward…
Coughs. That would be 1 million reputation points.
In China, this was equivalent to hitting the jackpot.
With these resources, he would take flight right away!
Apart from that, Lin Ye’s eyes were as bright as light bulbs.
He seemed to have found a way to quickly start a business…
Previously, the system did not explain why his reputation points were so low and he had to rely on himself.
Zhang Bao’er had accidentally triggered the reputation points when she taught others.
With his current development speed, it was too slow to rely on just a few of them.
There were so many high-level goods in the Reputation Shop that he couldn’t wait to get his hands on.
If he continued to follow his current speed, god knows when he would be able to get his hands on them.
Now, this problem was solved.
The first person to destroy a Level 1 one-star Haunted House would get a reputation points reward. Then, would he also get a reputation reward for clearing the two-star, three-star, and four-star haunted houses??
That wouldn’t do. With the system’s personality, not only would there be rewards, it would be more.
Mm, after completing the video and likes mission,
he would go to conquer them all!
It would save them the trouble of being overtaken by other awakened people.
Lin Ye turned on his Heart’s Web. The few haunted houses thousands of meters away did not seem scary to him at all. Instead, they looked like shiny gold mines.
Soon, after he made his choice, the system immediately sent his reputation points to his Civilization Archive via an email.
“You have received 10,000 Reputation Points as a reward!”
100xReward.
“You have received 1,000,000 Reputation Points as a reward!”
Looking at the funds entering his account, Lin Ye was overjoyed. When everything was settled, he would return to buy more!!!
At the same time, the World Channel of the Civilization Archive suddenly rang with a tune for national celebration.
Lewis: “What’s going on? Has the system gone crazy?”
Roman: “Someone must have completed some kind of mission! Just like in the game, it would broadcast to inform everyone.”
Tyrael: “I hope it’s a kind human lord.”
…
A moment later, the background music reached its climax and a golden line of words appeared on the screen.
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye for being the first person in the world to complete the mission of destroying a one-star Haunted House. He is rewarded with 10,000 reputation points!”
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye for being the first person in the world to complete the mission of destroying a one-star Haunted House. He is rewarded with 10,000 reputation points!”
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye for being the first person in the world to complete the mission of destroying a one-star Haunted House. He is rewarded with 10,000 reputation points!”
The entire world was shocked by the congratulatory message which was repeated three times.
What was this?
They were still worried about going out to find supplies when powerful people who could destroy Haunted Houses appeared?
What the hell!!
After a short period of calm, the world chat channel exploded. The number of chat notifications increased to 99999999999+.
Even with the pause function, it was still dizzy to look at.
Logan: “I protest, someone is hacking!”
C-Sang: “The name Lin Ye sounds like someone from China. There’s something wrong with this person!”
Jin Zhengu: “You blind people! How could Lin Ye be from China? His surname is Lin which is the main surname of my country, the universe. Ye… Eh, although it’s not common and the pronunciation is a little strange, I believe that he must be a citizen of my country.”
…
“Wow, my lord, you’re on TV!”
“Hahaha, these foreigners have turned into green-eyed monsters. I just saw someone defaming the Lord, saying that you are so strong because you have an indescribable deal with the system. I’m dying of laughter!”
“This feels good. Quite a number of people directly scolded us. It helps to vent. These scums used to belittle us.”
At this moment, Dong Wei, Zhang Bao’er, Wang Qiang, Jiang Gong, and others also saw this shocking piece of a congratulatory message from their Civilization Archives.
All of them ran over to Lin Ye excitedly.
They looked happier than if they had won the award themselves.
“Calm down, this is nothing new, there’s no need for this!”
Lin Ye’s expression was calm. The corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, the personal information page exploded. 99+messages popped up in his information panel.
A large group of familiar people @-ing him.
@ function was a new function that appeared the next day. Only people who know each other in the real world could use it to ping the person.
When the function first came out, there were many people acknowledging their relatives worldwide. It was bustling with activity.
However, he had been too busy recently and had no time for channels.
He only had a basic understanding of it and did not use it to look for his former friends.
Of course, no one looked for him.
Probably because I’m too handsome!
Lin Ye sighed and accepted this fact calmly. He opened the information panel and skimmed through it.
Most of them were his classmates and colleagues.
As expected, they were teasing and probing him for information: Brother, brother, you’re famous. The world channel’s number one has the same name as you. It shouldn’t be you, right?
One of them was the most eye-catching.
Fan Jianqiang?
This guy actually dared to @ him. Lin Ye’s eyes flashed with a dangerous glint.
