Chapter 23: The Lord is God! Any Decision He Makes Is Right!

He watched as Adelia and Zhang Liang left.

Lin Ye narrowed his eyes and said to Tru, “Catch up with them and snatch the blue tier weapon that Zhang Liang had.”

“???”

Tru’s eyes widened. “My lord, weren’t you…”

“Aren’t you dumb? Are you going to let him keep it and fund the enemy?” Lin Ye rolled his eyes.

Even though he wasn’t interested in those resources, he could give them to others.

He had belittled him earlier purely out of anger.

Now that he came back to his senses, he felt like he made a loss. He should squeeze every bit of it out of him.

.

“But…”

Tru wanted to say more, but Lin Ye interrupted him. “Go quickly and come back soon. I’m going to conquer this bunker.”

With that, he dismissed Tru and walked to the bunker. He touched the wall with his hand.

Soon, the system sent him a piece of good news.

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have occupied Lord Zhang Liang’s bunker. Conquering it can give you 2,000 EXP. Do you wish to do so?]

[Yes!]

Lin Ye made his choice.

In a short while, the fortress and the graveyard were enveloped by a weird light released by the Civilization Archive. The bunker started to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually turning into nothingness and integrating into the Civilization Archive.

[Conquering the bunker. Time Required: 5 minutes!]

“My lord, that guy is furious. If you want to tame him, doing this might chill his heart.”

At this moment, Tru returned with the weapon. After handing the item to Lin Ye, he said with a simple and honest smile, “The lord is one of the few people with great luck this season. In the future, you will definitely become an overlord of a region. The elders in our clan said that an ambitious and ruthless person must have the spirit of one.”

“As long as you are always strong enough to hold Zhang Liang down, even if he had the courage, he wouldn’t dare to betray you. There’s no need to oppress him like this.”

“A rat bits back when cornered, it follows that logic.”

“Ahem… Don’t get me wrong, my lord. I didn’t say that. I just thought it made sense and wanted to share it with you.”

“It does make a lot of sense.” Lin Ye nodded, not denying it.

“But you still?” Tru was a little confused.

You already knew that so why were you still doing the opposite?

Lin Ye glanced at him. He originally didn’t want to explain, but for some reason, he still spoke. “I am not a fierce and ambitious person. My name is Lin Ye. I am an ordinary mortal who is afraid of death, yet has no choice but to fight against zombies. Mortals are fragile, and the slightest carelessness can result in death.”

“I’m not sure if I’m the protagonist, so I can’t take the risk.”

“That guy is a piece of jade, but he still needs to be molded. As long as he gets beaten up by someone more vicious, he will be able to grow quickly. As a human, I know this very well.”

“So you’re going to let him go through what you’ve been through,” Tru interjected, as if understanding something.

“Am I such a shallow person?”

Lin Ye scoffed. “I’m serious about nurturing him, do you understand? Life forms like humans are nothing but cheap leather. The more you stretch them, the better they get.”

“Aren’t you afraid of breaking the person if you stretch too much,” Tru countered quietly.

“How dare you speak to your lord in this manner!”

With a straight face as he cast a sidelong glance at him, Lin Ye said righteously, “Tru, I hope this will be the last time. Suggestions are usually acceptable, and I welcome them, but I cannot allow you guys to question my every action. Even if you disagree, keep it to yourself.”

“Our recruitment order has two core values.

“Firstly, the lord is superior. All decisions made by said superior are correct. Subordinates must support them unconditionally.”

“Secondly, if he is wrong, please refer to the first rule.”

“In summary, when I make a decision, regardless of whether it’s right or wrong, you must follow my orders. Even if it’s someone of your race, if I want you to kill them, you must kill them without hesitation.”

“This is my bottom line. Do you still need me to tell you what to do next?”

“No, no need. I understand.”

Tru’s heart thumped, and his stance changed at once.

He smiled humbly and said, “My lord is wise. A jade doesn’t shine until it is polished. Zhang Liang is not sincere. Taking his resources is only a light punishment.”

“Don’t worry. From today onwards, I’ll bring people to create some trouble for him every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturday, I will swap with Adelia. I guarantee that he’ll be like a turtle and submit to the lord.”

“Don’t go too far. Just give him a sense of danger. As for how far you want to go, discuss it with Adelia.”

Lin Ye revealed a promising smile.

Who said that all warriors were dumbwitted?

Wasn’t Tru quite smart? He understood it immediately.

They would be the bad guys and let me be the good one.

The different characters were all present – strict, cunning, loyal. Even if that inexperienced Zhang Liang realized it afterwards, it would be too late.

Since you’ve boarded my ship, the doors would be welded shut and you have nowhere to run.

“I understand, my lord!” Tru wiped off his sweat.

Oh my god, this batch of humans was so cunning. Luckily, the clan leader, my father, taught me a few moves before I left.

If not, he might have offended his lord for no reason. His father was awesome. He would send him some ham and instant noodles when he got back and consult him more in the future.

“Very good. You did well today. This is your reward.”

With a smile on his face, Lin Ye threw the blue tier long saber that he had just obtained to Tru.

Although the tier was not high and their compatibility was average, for a Class 1 light armored shield soldier, a blue tier weapon was already a top-grade weapon.

Any Class 1 soldier who received it would be overjoyed.

As expected, Tru was dancing with excitement.

In the underground world, hierarchy was strict.

They were Class 1 attributeless warriors.

As the name suggested, they had no special attributes.

Even their weapons were low-level ones.

It was no exaggeration to say that even among the warriors, they were the cheapest. Even thieves would leave crying if they stole from them.

Normally, not to mention blue tier weapons, even white tier weapons were only possessed by the clan leader and the elders.

And now, on his first day of being recruited, he had already been given armor and spears, and now he was given an incomparably precious blue tier weapon.

With this weapon, he would have the courage to solo a Level 2 Swift Zombie.

Thinking of this, the honest and frank Tru was so touched that he almost cried.

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. The loyalty of your Light Armored Shield Soldier, Tru, has increased. Current loyalty is 80%. Effect: The combat power of the commanding soldier has increased by 30%!]

“My lord, from today onwards, even if I die on the battlefield, I will protect you.” Tru patted his chest and said in a powerful voice.

Lin Ye smiled but did not expose him.

If his loyalty was 100%, the credibility of his words would be believable.

For now, this declaration was most likely impulsive. If he was really on the brink of death, he would probably be like Adelia.

However, Lin Ye didn’t mind.

Whether it was people from the other world or humans from Earth, he knew them well.

Casually listening to those pretty words was fine. He would be a fool if he took their words seriously.

After chatting for a while, Tru familiarized himself with the battle tactics of the blue tier long saber when paired with the armor.

Meanwhile, Lin Ye turned his attention to the Civilization Archive. Five minutes had passed, and the Civilization Archive had successfully conquered Zhang Liang’s bunker and graveyard.

He opened the information about the bunker.
