Chapter 31: Textbook Level Acting!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. All your native workers were greatly touched. Their loyalty has increased to 100% and they have become your loyalists.]

[Effect: Construction speed has increased by 50%! You can make them work overtime overnight to build buildings within the territory!]

“This is good. From now on, I can rest at night even when the construction goes on!”

Lin Ye was elated when he heard the system’s message.

Previously, although he had this idea, he was afraid that if he forced them too much, it would cause the native workers’ loyalty to decrease.

Therefore, he had been prepared for them to take weeks to get closer.

But who would have thought that his unintentional actions would instead cause the 197 native workers to completely pledge their loyalty to him, triggering the passive effect of working overtime.

“My lord, can I use this now?”

Worker One handed out the upgrade scrolls one by one to the others and raised his hand nervously.

“Are you dumb? Go out and use them one by one on the high platform outside. Make a big commotion. It’s best if everyone in the territory can hear you.”

Lin Ye instructed.

“This…”

Worker One blinked, confused.

So be it.

What did leveling up have to do with going to the high platform and creating a commotion? The lord had such a strange request.

“If I tell you to go, then go. Stop wasting time.” Lin Ye waved his hand, not bothering to explain.

He didn’t know if these guys were really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.

Sometimes they were smart, sometimes they were muddle-headed, there were many times when they weren’t at the same frequency as him, giving him endless headaches.

Therefore, he had no intention of explaining himself. It was a waste of time.

“Oh, okay.”

Worker One responded and excitedly led the hundred plus people over to the platform.

The area of the elevated platform was not large, only 15 to 16 people could go up at once.

Lin Ye stood at the entrance of the bunker and watched.

The first to go up were Worker One and the nine native workers with the most contribution points.

They looked at each other, unable to conceal the excitement in their hearts.

“Let’s tear them open!”

“We are willing to expand the territory for our lord!”

Worker One raised the upgrade scroll and, according to Lin Ye’s instructions, took the lead in creating a huge commotion.

“We are willing to expand the territory for our lord!”

“We are willing to expand the territory for our lord!”

The other 100 or so people followed suit and shouted at the top of their lungs.

Soon, everyone in the territory turned their attention to the commotion.

“What’s going on?”

“Have those guys suddenly gone crazy!?”

The rangers raised their eyebrows.

The cat-eared chefs smiled harmlessly.

The arrogant blacksmiths watched coldly.

Finally, it was the light armored shield soldiers.

They wiped their weapons, disdain clear on their faces.

Mere native workers dared to claim that they wanted to expand the territory for the lord? That’s their f*cking slogan!

It was not that they were deliberately on opposing sides.

Instead, it was the influence from thousands of years of culture.

Native workers were always the cheapest working class in the underworld.

Even in Lin Ye’s territory, this kind of discrimination was evident.

That is why Lin Ye decided to level up only the native workers.

Apart from creating a commotion, he wanted to take the opportunity to break this mindset.

He didn’t care about the underworld, he only cared about his territory.

Here, what Lin Ye said was law.

As long as you are loyal to me, regardless of status, I will upgrade whoever I want. Don’t talk to me about the unspoken rules of the underworld.

Of course, this was all for later. His ignorant citizens of the underworld had yet to understand the intentions of the great Lord Lin.

On the other hand, Priest Gran who was a Class 3 specialist had exceptional eyesight.

As he was healing the light armored shield soldiers, he saw the upgrade scroll in Worker One’s hands from the corner of his eye. Shock flashed across his eyes.

At the next moment, three exclamation marks appeared in his head.

So many, so huge, so bright!

Many, in that there were more than a hundred upgrade scrolls in their hands.

In the underworld, only mid-level tribes which were above many could get their hands on it.

Huge, referring to Lin Ye’s magnanimity.

These precious resources were like toys in his hands.

Like the Level 4 Body Strengthening Pill, the silver tier Wind Splitting Bow, and now the upgrade scrolls.

Tsk tsk, every move he made exuded the charm of a rich man.

As for the light, it was really bright.

Beams of golden light for upgrading descended, directly illuminating the high platform like a small sun.

It was eye-catching yet blinding. At the same time, it made people envious of their luck.

“I want it too!”

Priest Gran swallowed his saliva and muttered sourly.

And this was merely the beginning!

Ssssss——

More upgrade scrolls were torn apart and dozens of golden beams landed.

Bathed in the golden light, large amounts of knowledge particles quickly integrated into the minds of the native workers. Many things about buildings that they did not initially understand instantly became clear.

The golden light disappeared, and Worker One was pleasantly surprised. He stared at his hands and said excitedly, “Intermediate, I’ve finally entered the intermediate tier. Hahaha, this feels so good!”

“Boss, Boss, I’ve leveled up too!” A lackey native worker cheered enthusiastically.

“Father, did you see that? Your son is more awesome than you. I’m already at intermediate level and you’re still a beginner one. When I return to the underworld, you have to call me Master. This is life. You have no choice but to accept it. Hahaha!”

....

Looking at the happy native workers on the platform.

The rangers, light armored shield soldiers and blacksmiths, could no longer remain calm

“My lord, I’m willing to offer my precious loyalty. Please give me a chance. I want to level up too!”

Blacksmith One’s face was flushed red. He led a group of burly blacksmiths and shouted loudly to show his loyalty.

The light armored shield soldiers were originally a little reserved, but seeing that their boss, Tru, who was also flushed red, not caring about his dignity as a soldier, joined the loyalty offering army of the blacksmiths…

One by one, they could no longer resist the temptation of the upgrade scroll and rushed forward.

“…”

The cat-eared chefs and rangers behind were dumbfounded.

However, they were smarter. They decided to retreat for now to advance further in the future. One of them ran to find Nicole, while the other ran to find Adelia.

There were clearly people who were close to them who were directly connected to the celestial heavens, so why did they have to follow these barbarians and squabble here?

“F*ck! These bastards, why didn’t they bring me along for the benefits? I’ve treated their injuries for nothing. If there’s a next time, I’ll add fuel to the fire. They deserve to be hurt!”

Looking at the empty wounded soldiers’ tents, Priest Gran stood at the same spot, staring with enraged orbs.

A moment later, Lin Ye was invited out of the bunker.

Even Adelia, who was about to rest, and Nicole, who was studying how to cook steak from the other world, arrived.

“My lord, we request to have the same treatment. You can’t be so biased. Although Worker One and the rest have contributed a lot to the territory, in terms of contributions, our blacksmiths are definitely not inferior to them.” Blacksmith One raised his hand and made an appeal.

Looking at the pairs of eager and passionate eyes below.

With a smile on his face, Lin Ye raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet and listen to him.

Whoosh—

What did it mean to obey orders?

This was textbook level acting!

Below the platform, the crowd of nearly eight hundred people suddenly fell silent.
