Worldwide Apocalypse: Starting With Max-Level Skills

“Sir…”

Before he finished speaking, Wang Chen had already punched out.

Tiangang Flaming Bird Fist!

The blazing force instantly enveloped Wolfe and the other dozens of Lizardmen, turning them into ashes. Even the ground was blasted into a deep pit that was hundreds of meters wide.

He would destroy the island and kill!

Wang Chen’s strength was displayed vividly.

“Now, 1 declare Coral Island mine. It doesn’t matter if you are from the Blackclaw Clan or other clans, Lizardmen, earthlings, or Katjans. If you want to stand on my land, you have to pay taxes!

“Or you will be regarded as an intruder! 1 guarantee you will die a tragic death!” he said loudly.

Then, Wang Chen looked at the warship on the shore and said loudly, “As the price for offending me, all the properties of the Blackclaw Clan will be my spoils of war.

“Does anyone have any objections to the above?”

His voice echoed throughout the island, but everyone was silent out of fear and did not dare to answer. Everyone knew that the era of the Blackclaw Clan was over. The new King of Coral Island had arrived.

“Very good.” Wang Chen nodded in satisfaction.

“10,000 Spirit Points will grant you permanent residence. Those who pay taxes on the island will receive my protection. We only accept Spirit Points or Skill Scrolls.

“Balean, Colin. I’ll leave the tax payment to you. I’ll give you 5% of the profits.”

Wang Chen naturally wouldn’t do such a troublesome thing himself, so he directly handed the problem to the Lizardmen.

“Yes, Your Excellency. I promise to complete the mission!” Balean said excitedly.

The next day, Wang Chen successfully took over Coral Island and seized all the assets of the Blackclaw Clan. The main ones were a dozen Rank 3 to Rank 5 battleships.

As for personal property, he didn’t touch them.

The take-over went smoothly.

Other than the Blackclaw Clan, the other Lizardmen Descenders did not resist. Compared to the Blackclaw Clan, Wang Chen’s taxes were not considered high.

Of course, more importantly, Wang Chen was stronger than the Blackclaw Clan.

Wang Chen stood on the deck of the Silverhorn and looked at the sea.

When the matter here came to an end, he planned to start hunting monsters to increase his strength.

Pitter-patter.

Hurried footsteps sounded.

He turned around and saw Balean and Collin walking over.

“Your Excellency, the tax collection has been basically completed. This is what 1 collected. It’s worth about ten million Spirit Points,” Balean said as he took out a bunch of skill scrolls.

“Apart from these, 1 received about 20 million Spirit Points,” Colin also spoke.

“Thank you for your hard work! Each of you will get a million Spirit Points! If you work for me, I will definitely not mistreat you.”

Wang Chen wasn’t stingy and increased his share.

The delivery was completed.

Wang Chen’s Spirit Points had increased to over 30 million. Including the dozen battleships, the value already went over a hundred million.

As for the battleships, he did not plan to keep them for long. Other than the Rank 5 Silverhorn, he planned to sell them all.

“Go tell everyone that I’m going to take out all the battleships except the Silverhorn,” Wang Chen said to the two of them. “The price will be cheaper than normal. They must come to the Silverhorn tonight if they want it.”

“We’ll do it now!”

The two Lizardmen responded respectfully and left in a hurry.

“Let me see if any of these skill scrolls can surprise me.” Wang Chen began to flip through the scroll.

There were more than 100 scrolls in total, and most of them were Rank 3 Skills. There were only a few Rank 4 Skills.

However, Wang Chen was very disappointed. Most of the skills here were not worth looking forward to. There were only a few that were truly useful.

He didn’t learn all of them and only picked out the ones that were useful to him.

To Wang Chen, the most useful one was a Rank 2 skill called Breath of the Sea. It allows the user to breathe underwater.

Apart from that, Wang Chen had learned more than ten skills that could strengthen his Basic attributes.

However, due to his current Attributes, the effects of his Rank 3 Skills were greatly reduced.

The effects of most skills were not constant. With Wang Chen’s current Attributes, if he learned a Rank 1 Basic Attribute strengthening skill, he wouldn’t even gain 1 point.

In the end, Wang Chen obtained: Strength +210, Stamina +310, Agility +200, Spirit +300, totaling 1,020 Attribute Points.

Of course, only Wang Chen could use low-level skills to increase so many attributes.

He needed more than 500 Skill Points to max out all of his Rank 3 skills.

Other than Wang Chen, the others did not have that many Skill Points.

As for offensive skills, too many similar skills would only affect the way one fought, and the effect would not be great. It would definitely take more time to pick one out of a hundred than to pick one out of ten.

Hence, Wang Chen had no interest in those Rank 3 offensive skills.

However, he did obtain a Rank 4 long-range attack skill.

[Arrow Hailstorm Level 30 (Rank 4). Consumes 1,000 Energy Points to summon a dense storm of arrows, causing 600-level physical damage to a designated area within a kilometer!]

Although its power was average, it was perfect for cleaning up trash.

Knock-knock.

Someone knocked on the door.

Wang Chen stood up and opened the door.

“Sir, something has happened!”

Colin stood outside with a serious expression.

“What’s wrong?” Wang Chen asked indifferently.

“Someone was killed on the island!” Colin said.

Wang Chen frowned when he heard this. He had just received the money and someone was killed. The person who did it was clearly not giving him respect!

“Let’s go take a look,” Wang Chen said in a low voice.

Under Colin’s lead, the two of them quickly arrived at the scene.

Hundreds of people gathered nearby and discussed animatedly.

Seeing that Wang Chen had rushed over, the onlookers hurriedly shut their mouths, afraid that they would say something wrong and offend Wang Chen. After all, Wang Chen was a terrifying existence that could conquer this island. “Any clues?” Wang Chen walked forward.

A Lizardman was lying on the ground with his neck almost completely cut open.

“No, I haven’t got any. The murderer was very clean. He ended the battle with one slash and did not leave any traces of the battle.” Balean shook his head.

“This is your man, right?”

At this moment, Wang Chen realized that this Lizardman seemed to be Balean’s subordinate.

“He’s Tusk, my best archer.”

“It seems that their purpose is very obvious. They are here to make things difficult for me.”

Wang Chen’s gaze swept across the surrounding crowd.

If that was the case, the murderer might still be here. After all, the murderer had to see him upset before his mission was completed.

“Did anyone see the murderer?” Wang Chen asked loudly.

The island wasn’t big, and there were thousands of people on it. He didn’t believe that no one had seen the murderer.

However, he was met with silence.

“100,000 Spirit Points! Who can tell me who the murderer is? 100,000 Spirit Points are yours!”

Wang Chen offered a reward, but no one spoke.

It was obvious that 100,000 Spirit Points were not enough to make these people erase their worries.

“One million Spirit Points!” he offered a higher price.

Still, no one made a sound.

“In my territory, no one can escape after provoking me!” Wang Chen sneered.

“A Rank 4 warship! Pick whatever you want!”

He offered a sky-high price.

Battleships were worth tens of millions of Spirit Points, and they were the foundation of this world. With one’s own warship, he would have a safe fortress.

“Are you really going to give me a Rank 4 warship?” a Lizardman asked tentatively.

“Of course, even if you are from the Blackclaw Clan. In addition, 1 promise that anyone who tries to take your battleship will be my enemy!” Wang Chen said in a deep voice.

The Lizardman took a deep breath and pointed at another Lizardman not far away. “The murderer is Saxin. I saw him kill Tusk with my own eyes.”

The Lizardman’s expression froze, and he immediately shouted angrily, “Phil, you damned bastard, how dare you betray your own kind?!”

“Sorry, he gave too much!” Phil shrugged.

“I’ll kill you!” Saxin roared and took out a dagger. His figure quickly faded away and was about to disappear..
