Chapter 48: Voluntary Education, Touching the People of the Underworld!

Lin Ye conveniently took over the graveyard where Chu Xiu and the others were in the team mode on his way back.

Not bad, as expected of a nine-man team. The experience points given were frighteningly high, a crazy 28,000 experience points. On average, it was 3,000 experience points per player. It was more than two times higher when compared to Zhang Liang and Xun Mingyuan’s individual mode – a pleasant surprise.

After consuming this huge amount of experience, the experience points of his bunker was 29,280/32,000!

If he converted the small zombie wave that attacked this time, he might be able to take flight again.

Half an hour later, night had just fallen when Lin Ye and the others arrived at the territory.

At this moment, the light armored shield soldiers had already annihilated all the zombies.

Lin One and his father, Mus Baruch, were quickly moving the zombie corpses with a large number of native workers.

Fortunately, after the upgrades which were done in the day, the zombie converters which were installed a thousand meters away from the territory had helped to greatly increase the disintegration efficiency. As long as they moved the zombies near the bunker to that area, he would be able to convert those corpses quickly.

The Light Priest, Gran, was not idle. The old fellow was sly. Lin Ye wondered how efficient his work would be before his return.

When Lin Ye entered the territory and took a look at him, the old fellow was really working hard.

Sacred Healing and the Rain of Life poured down freely on the injured soldiers. His face was as white as a sheet and his body shivered, almost collapsing from exhaustion.

“Well done,” Lin Ye praised.

“It’s what I should do.”

Gran hurriedly waved his hand, and his bean-sized eyes curved into a line. He straightened his messy clothes and smiled elegantly.

At the same time, he inwardly praised himself for being smart.

Won’t this secure his place? The Lord had promised that he would reward the top 10 workers with upgrade scrolls, equipment, and other resources.

A Class 3 Light Priest who was working so hard, how can he not get a few more rewards?

“My lord, when are we going to eat? We were recruited and immediately fought against thousands of zombies without even having a mouthful of hot soup. Even pigs in the underworld don’t live in such misery.”

At this moment, a new recruit called from afar.

As soon as those words left his mouth, dozens or even hundreds of people echoed his sentiments.

If it wasn’t for the tribe elders who said that this lord was inhumane but could not be offended, they would have long quit.

[Warning, Survivor Lin Ye. Some of your citizens are dissatisfied with their lives and their loyalty has decreased by 3%. Please satisfy their basic needs in time!]

Lin Ye narrowed his eyes when he heard this and stroked the head of the earth wolf which he was sitting on.

“???”

The huge earth wolf turned its head in confusion. Beast Tamer Gu Jiang tactfully assisted.

“Beast Taming Skill: The Roar of the Giant Wolf!” [Translated into Wolf Language: The louder you roar, the greater the reward.]

“Roar—”

This mighty giant earth wolf used its core energy and opened its jaws, letting out an enhanced version of its giant wolf roar, its saliva landing on the faces of the rookies in the front row.

Following that, the pressure of the Class 3 Beast Soldier swept across the entire place. These Class 1 attributeless soldiers were instantly rendered speechless. They were angry, but they did not dare to voice it out.

Seeing that the place had quietened down, Lin Ye swept his gaze across the few troublemakers who were the leaders and spoke in a loud voice, “I hope this will be the first and last time. It’s okay for you to demand something from me when you work for me, but you still have to consider the occasion.”

“I’ve just returned to my territory, and you guys already took the lead to create a commotion. Where does that put my face at as your lord? What will the other new brothers who have just joined think?”

“For this once, I’ll pretend that I didn’t hear you. If there’s a next time, I’m sorry to say but my territory doesn’t welcome such undisciplined soldiers.”

“From tomorrow onwards, after training is over, I will find someone to give you guys lessons and teach you what rules and etiquette are.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of everyone below instantly lit up.

Studying and attending classes were treatments only the nobles of the underworld received.

Can poor rugged wild men like them learn too?

Was this real?!!

“My… my lord, I have something to say!”

From afar, Lin One threw the last zombie corpse. When he heard this, he raised his hand excitedly.

“Very good, this is the order I wanted. I’ll reward you with one native worker upgrade scroll!”

Lin Ye smiled and took out an upgrade scroll. He handed it to Tru in front of everyone who then passed it to Lin One.

At the same time, he looked at Lin One and nodded, “Speak, no need for formalities.”

“!!!”

With that, both the new recruits and the veterans’ eyes were green with envy.

Was this act of raising his hand really worth an upgrade scroll?

Oh my god, such a rich lord, I love him!

“Thank you, my lord!”

Lin One was overwhelmed with gratitude as he received the scroll.

However, the most important thing was still studying. His father, Mus Baruch, had already poked his back a few times.

He immediately said, “My lord, are native workers like us qualified to come to class? Please don’t worry, we won’t listen in for free. Everyone from the native workers can deduct it from their contribution points. If you really can’t, please let our descendants listen. We’ll pay for it.”

After he finished speaking, 1,200 pairs of sincere eyes landed on Lin Ye. They seemed nervous as if he was afraid that Lin Ye would reject him.

Lin Ye’s heart thumped wildly.

What the heck? What kind of treatment did they receive in the underworld? Was even studying a luxury?

Although he was shocked inside, he still appeared calm and collected on the surface. He nodded and said, “Why not? As long as they are law-abiding citizens in my territory, anyone, from 80-year-old elderly to 6-year-old child, anyone can enjoy the voluntary education in the territory.”

Shock!

When they heard this, the crowd was about to explode.

Whether it was the soldiers, native workers, or the blacksmiths who were eavesdropping at the armory.

The vast majority of people were extremely excited.

In the underworld, for the poor and lowly citizens, even if the lord of the territory was gracious and gave them the opportunity to learn, they would have to wait in line for years until the Education Bureau gave them a slot to enter the lowest class for further studies.

Therefore, studying and knowledge were the most precious things to them.

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your kindness has touched the native workers. Their loyalty has increased to 95%!]

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your kindness has touched the attributeless warriors. Their loyalty has increased to 90%!]

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your kindness has touched the blacksmiths. Their loyalty has increased to 91%!]

…..

Hearing the system’s continuous congratulatory messages, Lin Ye was stunned.

What was going on? All of them, including the cat-eared chefs and rangers, had given him loyalty above 90%.

Wasn’t it just a chance to study? What was the big deal?

For the past two days, I’ve been distributing upgrade scrolls, equipment, and living supplies to make you loyal but I’ve never seen you so crazy.

Lin Ye ranted in his heart and smiled. “Don’t be too excited. As long as you follow your lord and do your job, there will be more benefits for everyone in the future. Aren’t all of you hungry? Nicole, inform all the chefs that it’s time to eat!”

“Yes, my lord!” Her lord called her name again. His little fan, Nicole, ran off happily.
