Chapter 47 - Hidden Mission: Protagonists Destiny
Chapter 47: Hidden Mission: Protagonist’s Destiny
[Friendly Hint: Option 3 is temporarily unavailable. Please upgrade 100xReward Talent’s Level in time.]
“???”
Lin Ye was a little stunned. There was too much information.
This cheat was too powerful. It could even allow talent fragments to be given a hundred times more.
100 talent fragments were enough to create 100 human lords with great potential.
If this talent encountered a selfless person, humanity would take flight.
Unfortunately, I’m not such a person!
Lin Ye shook his head and gave the first option a pass.
Perhaps when he finally trains an invincible soldier type, he would not mind doing it.
When the time came, everyone in the world would shout ‘Dad Lin, I love you’. He could also learn from Dad Ma. During the holidays, he could throw out hundreds of millions of talent fragments which would be an easy feat.
Of course, that was just a fleeting thought in his heart. Since its reality, he had to better himself first.
As expected, he would have to choose option two.
However, what the hell was with the third option that came out of nowhere? And why couldn’t he select the option?
“I have to upgrade in time…”
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the tiny note at the bottom of the option. Lin Ye almost vomited blood.
Wasn’t this system a little too open-ended? It even wanted him to upgrade his 100xReward?
Wait a minute, that didn’t seem too bad.
100xReward after leveling up should become 1,000xReward, 10,000xReward, or even BillionsxReward!!!
Sometimes, after the seed of thought was planted, it would become unstoppable.
Lin Ye swallowed. If he could upgrade it to make it a billion times, he would be invincible!
If he opened a sandalwood treasure chest, hundreds of millions of boxes of beef, instant noodles, and white tier weapons. Also, wouldn’t it directly upgrade them into an ancient or an unknown-tier weapon??
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
It was a pity that the system did not give him what he wanted this time. It did not even deign him with an explanation and instead simply slapped him on the back of his head.
Anger! Frustration! Bitterness!
“If you say so.”
In the end, Lin Ye could only temporarily give up on his wild thoughts and say, “I choose option two!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a white beam of light descended from the sky and landed firmly between Lin Ye’s eyebrows.
Inside the beam of light, he could vaguely see a prismatic crystal emitting three colors slowly integrating into his sea of consciousness and easily wrapping around the original ‘Heart’s Web’ talent fragment.
[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have obtained the innate talent ‘Heart Web’. Current talent is Level 1. Friendly reminder that your current bunker is Level 5. You can immediately upgrade your ‘Heart Web’ talent to Level 5. Please return to the bunker as soon as possible to upgrade your talent!]
“How troublesome. Can’t I level it up on the spot?” Lin Ye was speechless.
On second thought, well, it was actually good to go back.
He will be able to pretend to be a quack while standing on the high platform and get the ignorant people from the underworld to contribute another wave of loyalty.
Sweet!
Just as he was thinking, the quiet system sent another mind-blowing notification.
[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have obtained two innate talents and have successfully triggered a hidden talent quest!]
[Quest: Collect the complete version of the Talent Crystal. For every 100 collected, you can exchange them for 1 Protagonist’s Destiny. When the Protagonist’s Destiny reaches 3,000, you will have a 99% chance of becoming the protagonist of this season and start the uprising of the human race!]
[For the future of humanity, please gather as many crystals as you can!]
“!!!”
Lin Ye’s eyes widened.
What did it mean? I’ve already come this far, am I still not the protagonist? Not the protagonist? Not the protagonist…?!!
He found it a little unbelievable.
Even if he had to take a thousand steps back, this difficult yet pressing mission had no intentions of letting him be the protagonist, right?
It was already difficult to find one awakened. Even he who had the luck of the European King only met another one since the start of the game.
Killing, plundering, and occupying the territory of a person would at most be two talent fragments. However, 1 Protagonist’s Destiny required him to kill 100 awakened people.
To gather 3,000 Talent Crystals, he would have to kill at least 300,000 awakened people.
Be practical, how could a person like that start an uprising? The system probably just can’t wait for humans to be wiped out.
Lin Ye’s mouth twitched.
At this moment, he felt a deep sense of malice from the system. It was no wonder why humans had never won when there had been so many seasons.
Be it the stress from the endless zombie waves or the internal strife between humans.
If they acted recklessly, it was impossible for a protagonist to appear. The final outcome would be mutual destruction.
“Looking at history, the hope of countless generations of humans are piled on me. Ah, this feels a little stressful.”
Lin Ye bared his teeth.
For now, the difficulty level for him was probably the lowest since he had the 100xReward talent.
It could greatly reduce the amount of time needed.
He could probably become the protagonist after obtaining 3,000 talents.
Furthermore, if he was able to level up his talent later on?
If he could level it into a 1000xReward or 10,000xReward, everything would take flight.
With this thought in mind, his thoughts instantly became clear. He felt as if he had just fallen asleep in the comforts of a hot spring and felt extremely comfortable.
“As expected, I’m still the blessed one. It’s obvious that the stairs have been prepared for me to rise to the throne.”
Lin Ye smiled. He had gained a lot today and was in a good mood.
Looking at the dead Chu Xiu, he waved to call Tru over.
“My lord, you called for me?” Tru ran over and asked fawningly.
“Go, dig a pit and bury this guy,” Lin Ye instructed.
“Right here?” Tru felt like crying.
His lord was too magnanimous towards an enemy. If it were up to him, he would have thrown him into the river to feed the crocodiles.
“Just do it here. There are mountains and rivers around here. It’s the most suitable place for a grave.” Lin Ye nodded.
“If you say so.”
The lord had already spoken. As his loyal lackey, even if he had to kneel or finish it with tears in his eyes, he would do it.
He immediately picked up a short dagger on the ground and started digging at the ground. A few minutes later, a small grave was built.
Lin Ye very considerately made a wooden tablet for Chu Xiu.
“Oh right, what’s this guy’s name again?”
He scratched his head. In his memory, this guy died before he could ask.
Forget it, just give him a random one then.
He took the short dagger from Tru and carved it on the wooden tablet using chinese characters.
In Memory of the Treasure Giving Boy who passed away on the 2nd evening after Earth’s Transmigration. Tomb erected!
“Alright, done.”
Lin Ye handed the short dagger back to Tru and clapped his hands. “It’s a good day today. Tru, your punishment is absolved. When you go back, you can add to your meal.”
“Thank you, my lord! My lord is the true God who descended from the heavens. Praise your glory!”
Tru winked happily. He finally didn’t have to chew on buns anymore so he exaggeratedly flattered Lin Ye.
After returning to the group, everyone rode on their giant earth wolves.
Adelia frowned and said, “My lord, this woman is considered an enemy. What should we do with her?”
What she meant: My lord, this woman is not a good person. Even if we don’t kill her, we can’t take her.
“Let’s bring her back first.”
Lin Ye pondered. In any case, he had promised the Treasure Giving Boy. With his resources, feeding another person was not a problem.
After they return, he would ask what skills she had and see if she could contribute to the development of his territory.
People from Earth were all talents after coming to this desolate world. Wasting them was a huge crime.
“Alright.” Adelia’s grievance was evident from her expression but she had no choice but to ride with Zhang Bao’er on her earth wolf.
Moments later, everyone set off back towards their territory.
