Chapter 70: On the Market Page, Million Likes Mission!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“You have obtained the top-class talent, Hint’s fragment!”
100xReward.
1. 100 top-class ‘hint’ talent fragments! (Shattered, unable to level)
2. A complete ‘hint’ talent crystal!
3. Randomly rewarded with a complete Talent Crystal (50% Normal Talent, 30% Medium Talent, 15% Higher Higher Talent, 4.9999% Top Talent, 0.0000001% God-level Talent)
“Success! Success! The bug is actually real!!!”
Lin Ye’s blood pumped in excitement.
As long as he chose 1, he would get 199 pieces of the ‘hint’ talent fragments which he obtained from Zhang Liang.
The bug had already been confirmed. If it was refreshed again, there would be a total of 199 fragments. The reward would be 1,900 fragments.
Heavens!
He was going to take flight!
“I choose option 1.”
Lin Ye spoke without hesitation.
Whoosh—
Another white rain of light descended, and a hundred crystal fragments fell to the ground.
“I’m going to quickly grind before the system sees this!”
Lin Ye was cackling maniacally inside.
It was a race against time. There was no time to care about the 100 Talent Fragments which dropped on the ground.
He grabbed one of them and prepared to find the next human tool.
However, things didn’t go as planned. The system’s voice sounded again.
[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have successfully discovered a bug in the system. As your reward for discovering it, you will not be held accountable for your vile actions of making use of the bug. Furthermore, the talent fragments that you have obtained will belong to you.]
[The system is fixing the bug right now. Every talent fragment will be 99% damaged when it drops. If it is dropped more than three times, it will automatically disappear.]
[Thank you Survivor Lin Ye for your friendly cooperation. I hope you will work harder in the future!]
“???”
Lin Ye was stunned. What was it playing at?
It was fixed just like that?
You must be targeting me on purpose!
Every drop would be 99% damaged, which was equivalent to 100xReward.
“Dog system, get out here. If you don’t give me an explanation, this matter will not end!”
Lin Ye angrily shouted in his heart, as he crazily pinged for the system.
System: “…”
After hesitating for a moment, the system decided to show some respect to the richest human lord of the season.
“Survivor, how do you wish to resolve this?”
“Compensate me!!!”
In his heart, Lin Ye thought of a motion picture of him slamming the table and roaring in anger. He argued, “I used my own ability to grind for benefits using the bug. Even if you already fixed it, it’s considered a huge contribution. You want to send me on my merry way with just one merit? Let me tell you, that’s impossible. Do you still want me to recharge my points? Do you still want me to kill zombies?”
“I don’t care. You have to give me an explanation!”
Tick—
Time passed quietly, and the space instantly became silent.
Lin Ye’s expression was firm, and his powerful will suppressed the roaring blood in his body. He showed a relaxed exterior, as if victory was within his grasp.
After a long while, the system finally gave in.
System: “Alright, as compensation, the market page that can only be opened seven days later after the first zombie wave ends will be released to you in advance!”
“Wait a moment, what is the market page?” Lin Ye hesitated. It sounded pretty worthless to him.
The system explained, “The market page, as the name suggests, is a trading place. When the market page is opened, you will be able to trade across territories within the region. There are two modes. As for specific gameplay instructions, you can choose when it is released.”
A trade market!!!
Upon hearing this, Lin Ye understood what was going on, and was slightly surprised.
In other words, as long as the region was large enough, he could sell equipment, weapons, and other resources to his family at an extremely low price.
In that case, there would be no need to worry about his parents and sister’s safety during the zombie wave four days later.
At the same time, he would be able to develop without any worries.
“Alright, this will do then. Let me access it immediately!” Lin Ye hurriedly said.
System: ” We cannot for the time being. Even if I give you permission, there are prerequisites that you have to fulfill. It’s a market. If you don’t have popularity, how can you have a market? Therefore, you need to accumulate popularity to unlock it.”
“Popularity?” Lin Ye raised his eyebrows.
He had heard of loyalty and reputation points, but this was the first time he had heard of popularity.
System: “Popularity is the core measurement for a market’s range.”
“In other words, the higher my popularity, the larger the area covered by the market?” Lin Ye caught the key information.
System: “Yes. As for the method to obtain popularity, we will send it to you as a mission.”
After saying that, Lin Ye heard a message from the system.
[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have received a popularity challenge mission. Send a short video to the national channel.]
[Mission Requirement: You need to obtain more than a million likes.]
[Friendly Hint: Dislikes will offset the number of likes in a ratio of 1:2]
[Effective Time: 1 day. If you succeed, you will unlock the market page. If you fail, the market page will be activated according to the normal schedule]
“This is too much. Even if dislikes can offset the number of likes, it shouldn’t be in the ratio of 1:2. At least be fair. Let’s do a 1:1.” Lin Ye was speechless.
System: “You can choose to reject the mission.”
“Fine, you win.” Lin Ye threw down a vicious sentence and quickly chose to confirm and accept the mission.
System: “Can we leave now?”
“Wait, take care of this for me.” Lin Ye pointed at the 199 talent fragments scattered on the ground.
System: “What do you mean?”
“Combine it into 100 fragments for me. If you had appeared earlier, I would have chosen 2 and taken the complete Talent Crystal. Now, I have to spend 100,000 Zombie Souls to combine them into a complete ‘Hint’ talent.”
Lin Ye said righteously, “Do you think I’m stupid? This is not a small sum and it’s your fault, so you should be the one paying.”
“…”
The system was speechless. It did not seem to want to continue communicating with Lin Ye.
It simply said ‘as you wish’ and disappeared without a trace.
As soon as it finished speaking, a strand of ethereal three colored divine radiance descended onto the 100 Talent Fragments.
Whoosh—
As the light flickered, a complete Talent Crystal that emitted a three-colored luster appeared.
Lin Ye’s fingers touched it.
“You have obtained a complete top-class talent crystal—’Hint’!”
100xReward.
1. 100 Complete top-class talent crystals—’Hint’!
2. Demigod-class…
“Ding… met with an unknown energy obstruction. 100xReward cancelled! ‘
“System, f*ck you!”
Lin Ye cursed under his breath. He hadn’t expected this stingy system to take advantage of him.
As for the words ‘demigod-class’,
Was it talking about demigod-class talent?
From the looks of it, my 100xReward is quite a high class talent. It’s a tier higher than top class.
Yup, very good. Fantastic.
It would be best if I was the only one in the world who had a god class talent.
Keeping these thoughts to himself for the time being, he began to sort through his gains this time.
Even though he had been scammed by the system, he had gained a lot.
Not only did he obtain a complete top-class talent, he also had 99 talent fragments.
Including the semi-finished product, Zhang Liang, he could form a treasure-seeking team.
In the future, when the territory became larger, he would be able to sit safely in his lair and leisurely locate the direction of the treasures. The specifics of the treasure hunt would then be handed over to the treasure-seeking team.
Perfect coordination!
Lin Ye thought happily.
