Lin Ye narrowed his eyes as his mind raced.

He looked at Zhang Liang, whose face was filled with apprehension, and chuckled. “Don’t be nervous. Zhang Liang, was it?”

“Although we’ve never met, I think you should know me.”

“Yes, you must be the lord who is called Lin Ye.”

Zhang Liang smiled bitterly and cursed in his heart.

He still clearly remembered what happened last night.

For this person who invited him to form an alliance but canceled it, that incident was engraved in his heart. How could he forget?

“That’s me.”

Lin Ye nodded and went straight to the point. “Let’s cut the crap then. There are only three things I want to talk to you about. First, hand over the Silver Treasure Chest. Secondly, hand over the rights to your graveyard. Thirdly, tell me, did you awaken your innate talent?”

“Talent? What talent?” Zhang Liang revealed a bewildered expression.

“Don’t be in a hurry to deny it. If I can say this, I’m naturally confident.”

Lin Ye looked at him with a faint smile and continued, “Whether you say it or not is up to you, but what you say next will directly affect your future.”

“I’m not going to waste my time with you. I’ll use those who are useful to me. If you don’t have talent, then you’re only fit to be a high-ranking native worker in my territory. You have no right to reject this. Similarly, I’ll provide you with safety and food.”

“Of course, the prerequisite for everything is that you cooperate. Otherwise, I will mercilessly give you to the zombies as a snack.”

“…”

Zhang Liang was rendered speechless.

Although he did not know why Lin Ye knew that he had awakened his talent, from his confident look, he did not seem to be giving him much choice.

“You have thirty seconds to consider. If you don’t make a decision after thirty seconds, I won’t give you a chance, no matter how useful you are.”

Lin Ye said coldly.

“Why are you like this!”

Zhang Liang panicked. When he met Lin Ye’s gaze, he could not help but feel a sense of terror from the bottom of his heart.

He then looked at the brawny man behind him, who was clenching his fists so tightly that the sound of them cracking could be heard.

At this moment, he was really panicking. He suddenly felt the same kind of breakdown he felt the night before.

And it was all caused by the same person.

Perhaps it was the effect of this emotional shock, his eyes turned black again.

“An awakened person!”

This time even Adelia saw it clearly, and her scornful face took on a grim expression.

A peerless genius like their lord.

She nodded to herself.

This made sense. No wonder he could steal the Silver Treasure Chest from a Level 3 zombie.

However, she did not know who the stronger one was between him and her lord.

Probably her lord.

She had already witnessed the power of the European King’s Heaven Fate.

Now, another piece of it has appeared.

Before the zombie wave arrived, his lord met another person who had awakened his innate talent.

He appeared weak but once he was subdued and nurtured, he would be a great general-level talent who could hold his own.

Terrifying!

Adelia looked at her lord’s back.

Although he was about the same height as her in terms of physics, he had an inexplicable feeling of being tall and imposing.

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your Class 3 Wind Elemental Ranger, Adelia, feels reverence towards you. Her loyalty has increased to 70%! Tempos of the Wind activated!]

[Tempos of Wind: Increases the movement speed of her lord. The increase is determined by the strength and loyalty of the ranger.]

“???”

Hearing the good news from the system, Lin Ye was confused and looked at Andrea strangely.

What was this woman thinking again?

Reverence?

I guess that made sense. I was tall and heroic. There was no reason for her not to admire me.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye did not mind.

As for the Tempos of Wind, he threw it aside after taking a look.

What good could a Class 3 ranger’s passive skill be? It would be better if it was about Andrea’s Elemental Archery skill.

Very quickly, his attention turned to Zhang Liang again.

To be honest, he had high expectations for Zhang Liang.

According to his understanding of novels, people like them, who had awakened their talents on their own, were very likely to be one of the main characters of this round.

And to be able to catch one at the start of the game, it must’ve been his luck.

As he sized up Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang, whose eyes had turned white and black, also looked at him.

[Friendly Hint: This person is extremely dangerous. Reject him and he will definitely kill you!]

[Friendly Hint: This person is extremely friendly. Agree to his terms and you will be his right-hand man!]

“F*ck!”

Upon seeing the information displayed on the talent notification, Zhang Liang was dumbfounded.

What other choice could he make in this situation.

He was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. According to the hint, he could only choose to surrender himself.

He did not doubt the authenticity of the hint.

After all, he had gone through dozens of life-and-death experiences from last night to this afternoon. He had long trusted this talent.

If he refused, Lin Ye might really kill him.

“You still have ten seconds!”

Lin Ye’s timely voice sounded like the death warrant of the King of Hell, making Zhang Liang’s heart beat wildly.

He sighed softly and opened the entrance to the graveyard. He raised his hands and smiled bitterly. “There’s no need to continue to count. I surrender.”

As he spoke, he took out a small pile of materials and blueprints from the resources page of his Civilization Archive.

“What is the meaning of this?”

Lin Ye looked at Zhang Liang with an unfriendly expression. “Was I not clear enough?”

“Silver Treasure Chest!” He emphasized.

“This is it.” Zhang Liang was a little afraid. He answered weakly, “After stealing the treasure chest, I was blocked by the Level 3 zombie and his lackeys. My native workers and rangers were all killed by them. I had no choice but to open the silver, bronze and sandalwood treasure chests.”

“You opened it and this was all?” Lin Ye shouted, his fingers trembling as he pointed to the pile of supplies on the floor.

“That’s right. 1 Silver Treasure Chest, 2 Bronze Treasure Chests, and 9 Sandalwood Treasure Chests,” Zhang Liang answered honestly.

“…” When Lin Ye heard this, his expression became a bit unnatural.

What kind of dog sh*t luck was this?

He did not even have any soldiers and he had stolen more treasure chests than him.

That was nothing.

However, what infuriated him the most was that even though this guy was lucky, he was also trash.

A Silver Treasure Chest actually only gave him a blue tier long saber.

This was equivalent to getting a newbie level white tier weapon from a bronze treasure chest.

Simply outrageous!!!

If you talk about the European King here, I will beat you to death.

If this was given to him, it would definitely be a silver tier weapon. It might even be a gold tier.

What a disappointment!

He also had two bronze treasure chests. He had only obtained one so far.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Lin Ye’s face darkened as he coldly snorted, “Keep your trash. No matter how poor I am, I won’t go so far as to rob a beggar.”

“…” Zhang Liang was speechless.

Who are you calling a beggar? You are the beggar. If it were anyone else, I would beat them up until they call me father.

“Tell me, what is your talent?” Lin Ye didn’t want to say anymore and went straight to the point.

“It’s embarrassing to talk about it. The system said that I have awakened a talent, the European Overlord..” Zhang Liang scratched his head, looking honest and sincere.
