Chapter 247: Great Cities Era, City Lord!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have successfully survived the first zombie wave. You are rewarded with 10,000 zombie souls.”

“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You are the first person in the world to have passed the 52x difficulty zombie wave. The additional reward is 520,000 reputation points!”

100xReward.

“You have obtained 1,000,000 Zombie Souls!”

“You have obtained 52 million Reputation Points!”

Total: 293 million Zombie Souls!

74.8 million Reputation Points!

“They are too stingy with the zombie souls. This time, I have earned quite a bit of reputation points. With a difficulty of 52x, it will be 520,000. After 100x, I have 52 million reputation points! This is the biggest killing I have made so far!”

Lin Ye sighed.

Just this wave of harvest was more than what he had gained from destroying dozens of beginner Haunted Houses.

As expected, the maxim of the Nine States applied everywhere.

Danger and opportunity coexisted.

If it was anyone else, they would have died long ago from the 52x difficulty.

He was the only one who could successfully defend against such a zombie wave and ultimately win the grand prize.

However, on second thought, he felt like he had made a huge loss.

“What the f*ck, if it was a hundred times more difficult, wouldn’t my reputation points surpass a hundred million!!”

Thinking of this, Lin Ye clutched his chest in pain.

He had lost more than 50 million!!

Tsk!

It was all the fault of this scammer.

This time, Yang Tianyou was the one who opened the green door for him.

As for this bastard, Jiang Chen, he didn’t help at all.

Just wait. After clearing his gains, he would be back in two days.

As he was thinking, the core team returned.

“My lord, I found 35 Silver Treasure Chests and 4 Gold Treasure Chests. From the looks of it, the suppression from the rules has disappeared.”

Tru patted the treasure chest on his shoulder and laughed.

“It’s good that it has been canceled. Come, arrange them all neatly. I want to see what I’ve gained this time.” Lin Ye nodded with a smile.

Soon, a group of people placed the treasure chests and blueprints on the platform.

It took them two hours to move the treasure chests alone.

The gains were a little scary.

There were 112 Gold Treasure Chests. Most of them were dropped by the Level 5 harpy zombies, while a small number of them were from Level 4 venomous zombies.

There were more Silver Treasure Chests.

This zombie wave was 52 times more difficult, so there were a lot of Level 3 and Level 4 zombies. There were at least 100,000+zombies.

According to the drop rate of 100: 1, at least 1,000 Silver Treasure Chests should be dropped.

However, the results were shocking.

Perhaps due to the influence of the golden dragon of luck, the zombie wave dropped a total of 6,452 Silver Treasure Chests, which was more than six times that of ordinary people.

It was terrifying.

As for the Bronze and Sandalwood Treasure Chests, the number was more ridiculous.

The former numbered 41,000 while the latter numbered 14,000!

He also gained a lot of useful blueprints.

Level 4 Iron Thread Electric Network Blueprints, Level 4 Barracks, Level 5 Breeding Field Blueprints, Level 5 Sentinel Tower Blueprints…

Other than that, the greatest gains should be the zombie souls and the experience he needed to level up.

For the souls, even though he had tens of thousands of converters, there were too many zombies; 520,000.

It would take at least ten hours to convert all of them, including the time needed to transport them.

Fortunately, he was not short of money now.

He had earned 292 million previously, of which he gave 30 million to his family.

The recruitment fee for 300,000 people had cost more than 50 million.

Taking away 80 million, there were still 212 million.

In the short term, food and shelter should not be a problem.

As for leveling up experience points, that was pretty fast.

The system had sent him a notification long ago. He was full of experience points and could level up now.

However, he was busy killing the harpy zombies.

Now that he had time, he could try to break through the Tribal Era and enter the third stage to see what new blueprints he would get.

He immediately opened the upgrade page of the bunker. As soon as he entered, he saw the system’s notification.

“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your experience bar is full. Do you wish to level up immediately?”

“Yes!”

Lin Ye made his choice.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

In an instant, a large amount of upgrade golden light fell.

Bunker Level 18 → Level 19. Requires 19 hours.

Bunker Level 19 → Level 20. Requires 20 hours.

…

Bunker Level 21 → Level 22. Requires 22 hours.

“82 hours. 82 acceleration scrolls will do!”

Lin Ye was never stingy in this aspect. He directly spent 1,000,000 zombie souls.

In the future, when he leveled up, he would use it directly. If it was not enough, he would get more!

Splatter—

Moments later, dozens of acceleration scrolls were torn apart, and the bunker immediately increased from its slow upgrade progress by hundreds or thousands of times.

In the blink of an eye, the upgrade was completed.

“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your bunker has been upgraded successfully. Current level is 19!”

“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your bunker has been upgraded successfully. Current level is 20!”

…

“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your bunker has been upgraded successfully. Current level is 22!”

The original mansion changed instantly and became a manor.

It occupied an area of 20,000 square meters.

The east, south, and west sides of the garden were surrounded by horseshoe-shaped hills.

Towards the north stood a tall gate, which guarded the treasure grounds with the intention of collecting a large amount of resources.

Inside, the scenery in the garden was exquisite. Even the wooden pillars, fake mountains, and door plaques along the way were made by famous people.

From afar, it looked like a grand scene.

“Good, good, good!” Lin Ye was overjoyed.

And this was only the beginning. The system congratulated him continuously.

“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your territory has entered the third stage—Great City Era. You have obtained the title of City Lord!”

“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You are the first human in the world to enter the Great City Era. You are rewarded with 300,000 reputation points!”

100xReward.

“You have obtained 30 million reputation points!”

Total: 104 million

The information of the Great City Era is as follows:

Title: City Lord

Era: Great City Era

Level: 22

Range: 220 kilometers! (150,000 square kilometers is equivalent to two and a half Shanghai Prefecture)

Recruitment Order: Class 5 Native Worker Recruitment Order (Unlimited recruitment of Class 1-5 Native Workers. Only requires Zombie Soul to pay for recruitment)

Function: Virtual Sandbox, Mining Factory, Archive Room

Latest Unlock: City Lord’s Wall (20 meters tall, enough to defend against attacks from Level 5 and 6 zombies)

“Population has increased to 2.2 million!”

“What the f*ck!!!”

Lin Ye secretly clicked his tongue. As the area expanded rapidly, the population also increased rapidly.

It went from 800,000 to 2.2 million.

What kind of concept was that? Previously, it was a small county city, but now, it was a big city!

The situation had improved greatly.

However, next, he had to properly plan the construction of the city.

For example, dormitories, streets, fisheries, kitchens, restaurants, public bathrooms, toilets, and so on.

“Troublesome, I need talents, a large number of human lords!”

Lin Ye gritted his teeth. It was best to find a professional for something like this. He would look through the archive later and see if there were any talents in this field.

He did not believe that there were no such elites amongst the tens of thousands of human lords.

If he had no choice, he would recruit them through the world channel. If there were talented ones close to him, he would set off immediately and kill his way over.

He would take all the talents.

While he was thinking, he heard the sound of thunder from his Civilization Archive.

Dragons and phoenixes cried out together, and all types of irregular scenes appeared.

Then, the system sent a congratulatory message to all the survivors.

Lin Ye frowned and opened the Civilization Archive.
