Chapter 12: I Originally Didn't Want to Make a Move, but Unfortunately, Someone Played Tricks
Editor: Atlas Studios
The next day, Lu Luo arrived at District C and gave out rewards to those who had performed well in the battle against the Demon Ants last night.
The big brother who had been saved by Lin Xuan was called Sun Zhiguo and had also received a reward.
As for Lin Xuan, his level in the Germinal Organization had increased from a three-star wasteland reclaimer to a four-star wasteland reclaimer. He could leave the 12-man dormitory and choose a small one-man dormitory.
Of course, this small dormitory was pitifully small like a prison cell, only ten square meters.
If he wanted to change to a bigger dormitory, he would have to continue increasing his star level.
In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.
During this period of time, the Steel Ant had been crazily attacking the Red Fire Ant, the Purple Thunder Ant, the Poison Water Ant, and the Frost Ant. Because of this, Lin Xuan's training avatar had also obtained a large number of attribute items and skill books.
This was especially true for the skill books. Skill books that could be dropped from the worker ants, soldier ants, and reproduction ants had all already appeared. Now, Lin Xuan kept getting the same ones.
The Red Fire Ants dropped [Basic Fire Resistance] and [Inferior Fireball]. The Purple Thunder Ants dropped [Basic Lightning Resistance] and [Lightning Chain]. The Poison Water Ants dropped [Basic Poison Resistance] and [Acid Ball]. The Frost Ants dropped [Basic Ice Resistance] and [Icicle Technique]. Lin Xuan had already obtained multiple passive skills that increased elemental resistance as well as a large number of elemental spells.
However, his spirit was not too high, and these elemental spells were destined to be useless.
On the surface, Lin Xuan's cultivation had also slowly grown to level six First Realm. Among the many wasteland reclaimers in District C, he could be considered as one of the stronger ones.
On this day, he was about to enter the mystic realm under normal circumstances when he suddenly saw a notification appear in front of him.
[News from Giant Rock Cave: Due to the influence of the Earth Vein Tide, the Rock Belly Fruit and Soul Nurturing Flower will grow faster for the next 72 hours.]
Lin Xuan was stunned.
Earth Vein Tide?
He had heard that this kind of thing only happened once in seven or eight years, but he had actually encountered it? Could it be that because of his legendary protagonist body, he was always able to encounter such a rare event?
At the same time, a radio suddenly sounded in the hall.
"An Earth Vein Tide has appeared in the Giant Rock Cave, and various plants are growing faster. Manager Number One has ordered that each district must at least over 300 attribute-increasing items for this mystic realm mission."
"In this mystic realm mission, the district that hands in the most items will receive a reward. Each wasteland reclaimer in that district will receive 10,000 general coins. The overseer will also receive an additional 150,000 general coins and can also choose two precious purple items."
"Those who fail to meet the quota for this mystic realm mission will be severely punished. All wasteland reclaimers will not receive any general coins for the next month. Everyone's star level will decrease by one level, and the overseer will be punished severely!"
Lin Xuan was shocked when he heard this.
Looks like the manager was planning to take advantage of this rare Earth Vein Tide to accumulate a large number of items to increase his attributes.
This reward and punishment was clearly forcing the wasteland reclaimers to work quickly and not slack off.
In this way, it was also possible for the wasteland reclaimers to fight each other in various areas.
However, Lin Xuan smiled as he looked at the more than 600 Rock Belly Fruits and Soul Nurturing Flowers in his consciousness space.
The overseers' eyes also lit up.
Two precious purple items! These were good items!
Lu Luo also took a few deep breaths before calming down. She also needed these two precious purple items!
Lu Luo waved her hand and watched them pass the door of light. "Do your best to complete the mission. Don't disappoint me."
Lin Xuan stepped through the door of light and arrived at the Giant Rock Cave. After circling around, he arrived at a cave on the sixth floor of the Giant Rock Cave.
This cave was specially made for him by the Gold Swallowing Lizard. It was extremely hidden and was covered in warm fur. It was also very comfortable to lie in.
He had stayed here for two days. When he had nothing to do, he would look at the point of view of the Gold Swallowing Lizard and the Steel Soldier Ant. It was as if he was watching a movie and had no intention of leaving at all.
"Not bad. I've forged five peerless golden runes recently. However, there are only two that are suitable for me."
…
Name: Impregnable Gold (1/2)
Level: Level one First Realm
Quality: Peerless Golden
Set Requirements: Shield above level one First Realm
Effect 1: Health Points+10%.
Effect 2: Any attack that lands on this equipment will have a critical hit chance of -50%.
Effect 3: (Locked) Any attack that lands on this equipment will cause the user of the equipment to recover 20 health points.
…
"Impregnable Gold is a peerless golden rune set. Fortunately, I've already obtained two. I'm still short of a third."
Lin Xuan was very satisfied and immediately spent his general coins to set the two runes on the Dragon Hunter Shield.
The current Dragon Hunter Shield already had enough equipment essence to advance to First Realm. It had completely met the requirement for these two runes.
At this moment, Lin Xuan suddenly saw two wasteland reclaimers advancing from the Gold Swallowing Lizard's perspective.
He knew these two people. They were the trusted aides of District B's Overseer, Yang Wei. One of them was called Zhao Yong.
Zhao Yong roared with laughter. "I led a few others to tail those stupid bastards from District C. When they found the Soul Nurturing Flower and were caught off guard, I rushed over and beat them up, forcing them to hand over everything! Didn't you see their tragic expressions? I'm dying of laughter."
"Hehe, our Overseer's plan is really effective. I also intercepted several idiots from District C. They definitely won't be able to complete the mission. Lu Luo might even be punished," another wasteland reclaimer said with a smug smile.
Zhao Yong said smugly, "I just calculated that the wasteland reclaimers in our District B have already obtained more than 600 attribute items. I also heard that District A and District D might only have obtained 500 attribute items. We're very likely to be first place!"
"Alright, alright, alright. Then we'll all be rewarded!"
"Let's go. Our people have found another place that has many Rock Belly Fruits. Hurry up and pick them!"
The two of them chatted excitedly in low voices, unaware that a Gold Swallowing Lizard was following closely behind.
Lin Xuan was stunned before shaking his head with a smile.
Helping District C get first place did not do him much good. He only hoped that they would not be last.
However, if this continued, District C would really be last place. All the wasteland reclaimers, including him, would be collectively punished.
"I originally did not want to make a move, but unfortunately, a despicable person is causing trouble."
Lin Xuan left this cave and quickly found the other martial artists in District C.
Sun Zhiguo was so furious that he drank his wine gloomily. The dozen or so District C martial artists beside him were also dejected. This time, they had found at least 200 Rock Belly Fruits and Soul Nurturing Flowers in the Giant Rock Cave. All of them had been snatched away by Zhao Yong and the others.
"Brother Sun, brothers, good news! I overheard Zhao Yong and the others discover a place that has a large number of Rock Belly Fruits. Should we return the favor?!" Lin Xuan said with an indignant expression.
Sun Zhiguo stood up immediately and said excitedly, "Really?"
He trusted Lin Xuan very much. If not for Lin Xuan pushing him back then, he would have long died under the mouth of the Steel Soldier Ant.
The other wasteland reclaimers in District C also became excited.
They had always been beaten up. Now, they finally had a chance to retaliate!
"If everyone trusts me, follow me! It's time for revenge!" Lin Xuan shouted.
Sun Zhiguo patted his shoulder heavily. "Alright! I believe you!"
The others were also very confident in Lin Xuan's character. They immediately followed.
As Lin Xuan led Sun Zhiguo and the others to chase after them, he changed the training strategy of the Gold Swallowing Lizard from "attack and defense" to "take the initiative to attack".
"Now, all I have to do is watch a good show!" Lin Xuan chuckled in his heart.
The current Gold Swallowing Lizard was no longer the same as before. By eating ores, it had managed to increase its Constitution to 30 and its Strength to 25. Ordinary mystic realm kings would not be able to do anything to it. At the very least, it would have to be an experienced mystic realm king.
However, ever since Lin Xuan had killed the Earth Dragon King, no new experienced mystic realm king had appeared.
It could be said that the Gold Swallowing Lizard was the invisible overlord of the Giant Rock Cave!
At this moment, Zhao Yong and the other eight wasteland reclaimers in District B were squatting down excitedly to pick the Rock Belly Fruits.
This was a cave with a rock wall. No one usually came here, so a large number of Rock Belly Fruits had grown here without being discovered.
The wasteland reclaimer in District B had only discovered it by accident.
"Hahaha, I made a killing! There are at least a hundred Rock Belly Fruits here!"
"Our District B is safe this time! We'll definitely get number one!"
Zhao Yong and the others were overjoyed.
He was overjoyed at the thought of obtaining 10,000 general coins and 30,000 experience points after the mission ended.
At this moment, the Gold Swallowing Lizard appeared silently behind them.
Zhao Yong frowned in anger after being nudged by the Gold Swallowing Lizard. "Who the hell touched my butt?! My sexual orientation is very normal. I only like tentacles and animals."
He turned around and saw a golden lizard. He immediately sneered.
"Oh? So it's a Gold…"
Before he could finish speaking, the Gold Swallowing Lizard pounced forward.
Bang!
Zhao Yong seemed to have been struck in the butt by a cannonball as his entire body was smashed into the rock wall. His chest collapsed, and blood sprayed from his mouth while blood dripped from his pants.
The surrounding wasteland reclaimers were incomparably shocked when they saw the attributes of the Gold Swallowing Lizard.
"Damn! What's going on? A level nine Zero Realm demon beast!"
"Damn! Constitution 30 and Strength 25. No wonder Brother Zhao was sent flying. Its attributes are too abnormal. Run, run!"
These wasteland reclaimers wanted to run, but they were instantly sent flying by the Gold Swallowing Lizard's claw. They spat out blood like Zhao Yong and had frightened expressions.
In just a few minutes, these people were all seriously injured and could not even move a finger.
At this moment, Lin Xuan and Sun Zhiguo arrived!
Chapter 13: Zhao Yong, Zhao Yong, Where Are You...?
Editor: Atlas Studios
Sun Zhiguo immediately laughed smugly when he saw Zhao Yong and the others fall to the ground.
"Zhao Yong, to think that this day would come for you! Brothers, follow me! Beat them up!"
Under Lin Xuan's arrangements, the Gold Swallowing Lizard had already quietly left.
The wasteland reclaimers in District C rushed forward and punched and kicked, immediately venting their anger.
"Give me all the things you stole!" Sun Zhiguo said fiercely.
Zhao Yong said with a long face, "Old Sun, no, Brother Sun! Grandpa Sun! Can we keep half? If we can't complete the mission, we'll be demoted."
Sun Zhiguo sneered, "Only now do you know that doing something like this will lead to demotion. You should have thought of that when you were snatching them away from us!"
Zhao Yong stammered and was speechless.
"Give it up! Otherwise I'll beat you up until you're left with a trace of blood and then throw you here to feed the demon beasts!" Sun Zhiguo said impatiently.
He was not stupid enough to kill Zhao Yong and the others himself. The wasteland reclaimers' collars would have records.
Fighting among the wasteland reclaimers was prohibited on the surface, but there were many sneak attacks and interceptions in the dark. There were also wasteland reclaimers who were harmed by the other wasteland reclaimers and were only left with a trace of blood to be thrown into the mystic realm to feed the demon beasts.
Zhao Yong and the others gritted their teeth and could only take out all the items from the storage compartment.
Sun Zhiguo's eyes lit up. "We're rich! Everyone, empty the space in the storage compartment!"
Everyone beamed as they picked up their items and stuffed them into the storage compartment.
After doing this, they also put some of the Rock Belly Fruits into their pockets.
Lin Xuan calculated. This time, they had directly obtained more than 700 items that could increase their attributes!
Sun Zhiguo smiled and said, "I have another question. How did you guys get beat up?"
Zhao Yong was currently filled with bitter water and could not help but say.
With that said, he could not help but snort. "You guys were a step late. If you were a little earlier, you would have been beaten up by that Gold Swallowing Lizard!"
"Gold Swallowing Lizard?" Sun Zhiguo and the others looked at each other.
Lin Xuan sneered, "Liar! The Gold Swallowing Lizard can at most grow to the level of level six Zero Realm. You guys must have been beaten up by other martial artists or even people from other organizations. You guys are too embarrassed to say it out loud, so you ended up blaming the Gold Swallowing Lizard. How embarrassing!"
Zhao Yong almost vomited blood. "You, you, you…!"
Lin Xuan kicked him and turned to leave. "Hmph, those who lie don't deserve to point at me!"
Sun Zhiguo was so happy that he could not close his legs. "Lin Xuan, it's all thanks to you overhearing that Zhao Yong and the others were coming here. We just happened to be there in time to reap the benefits."
The others nodded repeatedly. Lin Xuan had gotten all the credit this time.
Lin Xuan smirked and blinked. "It's also thanks to that Gold Swallowing Lizard that we were able to beat up Zhao Yong and the others. We don't even have to do anything."
Sun Zhiguo laughed heartily, tears flowing out. "I'm dying of laughter. Zhao Yong and the others said that the Gold Swallowing Lizard is ridiculously powerful. They even said that it was at level nine of the Zero Realm and its Constitution has reached 30 points and its Strength has reached 25 points. Those who don't know might even think that it was a mystic realm king. They're really lying without thinking."
"Ai, let's go, let's go. Hurry up and return to complete the mission! I can't wait!"
The wasteland reclaimers also cheered with burning eyes.
In the hall of the Germinal Organization.
The overseers of the four districts were already standing in front of the door of light.
High above was a refined middle-aged man. He was clearly standing at the edge of the hall, but he seemed to be standing in the center of the hall. No one seemed to dare to defy his orders.
He had a gold medal on his chest with a huge number "Two" on it.
He was the Manager Number Two of the Germinal Organization.
"It's almost time," Manager Number Two suddenly said.
District B Overseer Yang Wei had a proud expression.
He had long made a plan for his wasteland reclaimers to behave themselves in the past two days and not get into conflict with anyone. This would lower the vigilance of the wasteland reclaimers in the other three districts. On the third day, he had told them to start targeting others fiercely. This way, it would be faster than if they had searched for the Soul Nurturing Flowers and the Rock Belly Fruit themselves.
A few hours ago, Zhao Yong had even sent him a message through the wasteland reclaimer's collar. He said that the plan had progressed smoothly. They had obtained at least 600 items. On the other hand, Aea A and D had 500 items each. There were even fewer items in District C. They had robbed them too many times, and they did not even have 100 items left.
Thinking that Lu Luo would be punished soon and that all the wasteland reclaimers in District C, including that despicable Lin Xuan, would be demoted, Yang Wei felt indescribable comfort.
"Little girl, you hit me so hard back then. I'll make sure you suffer later!" Yang Wei sneered and swept his gaze past Lu Luo.
Lu Luo looked at him curiously and pointed at him from afar. "What are you laughing at? Are you itching for a beating?"
Yang Wei immediately smiled awkwardly, "I just remembered something happy. My wife gave birth."
At this moment, the first wasteland reclaimer walked out of the door of light. More and more wasteland reclaimers returned to the Germinal Organization.
Yang Wei waited expectantly, but Zhao Yong did not appear.
"Zhao Yong, Zhao Yong, where are you?" He was filled with joy.
Soon, Zhao Yong appeared.
His footsteps were as heavy as lead, and he did not dare to look up and meet Yang Wei's eyes.
It was not only him. The wasteland reclaimers in District B did not dare to look up. All of them shrank their necks.
Yang Wei's heart skipped a beat. Could it be…
He said softly, "Zhao Yong, what happened?"
Zhao Yong shrunk his neck. Just thinking of bearing Yang Wei's anger, he did not dare to say anything.
However, there were still more than 50 wasteland reclaimers in District B, and only seven of them had been robbed.
Zhao Yong felt that the others should also be able to obtain enough items.
After careful consideration, he decided not to say anything.
"Don't worry, Brother Yang. It's fine," Zhao Yong said solemnly.
Yang Wei felt strange, but he still nodded. He still trusted Zhao Yong.
Soon, the other wasteland reclaimers from District B also returned. Their expressions were also a little strange.
Zhao Yong and the others looked at each other and nodded repeatedly. Everything was said without saying. Seeing the other party, they all felt confident.
Soon, including Lin Xuan, all the wasteland reclaimers in the four districts returned to the Germinal Organization.
"Everyone is here. Let's start checking the items." Under Manager Number Two's order, all the wasteland reclaimers took out the items from their storage compartments.
A column image appeared on the big screen, and the data of the four districts was rising quickly.
District A and District D rose very quickly, and they immediately passed the 300 red line. This meant that they had completed the basic requirement of the mission and would not be punished.
The wasteland reclaimers in these two districts heaved a sigh of relief.
The speed of the rise of District B and District C was relatively slow. Especially when Yang Wei saw that Zhao Yong and the six wasteland reclaimers beside him had only taken out a few dozen Soul Nurturing Flowers, he was shocked.
"What the hell is going on with you?" Yang Wei gritted his teeth, and every word seemed to come out from the gaps in his teeth. "Didn't you say that you stole at least 600?"
