Chapter 12: I Originally Didn’t Want to Make a Move, but Unfortunately, Someone Played Tricks

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The next day, Lu Luo arrived at District C and gave out rewards to those who had performed well in the battle against the Demon Ants last night.

The big brother who had been saved by Lin Xuan was called Sun Zhiguo and had also received a reward.

As for Lin Xuan, his level in the Germinal Organization had increased from a three-star wasteland reclaimer to a four-star wasteland reclaimer. He could leave the 12-man dormitory and choose a small one-man dormitory.

Of course, this small dormitory was pitifully small like a prison cell, only ten square meters.

If he wanted to change to a bigger dormitory, he would have to continue increasing his star level.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.

During this period of time, the Steel Ant had been crazily attacking the Red Fire Ant, the Purple Thunder Ant, the Poison Water Ant, and the Frost Ant. Because of this, Lin Xuan’s training avatar had also obtained a large number of attribute items and skill books.

This was especially true for the skill books. Skill books that could be dropped from the worker ants, soldier ants, and reproduction ants had all already appeared. Now, Lin Xuan kept getting the same ones.

The Red Fire Ants dropped [Basic Fire Resistance] and [Inferior Fireball]. The Purple Thunder Ants dropped [Basic Lightning Resistance] and [Lightning Chain]. The Poison Water Ants dropped [Basic Poison Resistance] and [Acid Ball]. The Frost Ants dropped [Basic Ice Resistance] and [Icicle Technique]. Lin Xuan had already obtained multiple passive skills that increased elemental resistance as well as a large number of elemental spells.

However, his spirit was not too high, and these elemental spells were destined to be useless.

On the surface, Lin Xuan’s cultivation had also slowly grown to level six First Realm. Among the many wasteland reclaimers in District C, he could be considered as one of the stronger ones.

On this day, he was about to enter the mystic realm under normal circumstances when he suddenly saw a notification appear in front of him.

[News from Giant Rock Cave: Due to the influence of the Earth Vein Tide, the Rock Belly Fruit and Soul Nurturing Flower will grow faster for the next 72 hours.]

Lin Xuan was stunned.

Earth Vein Tide?

He had heard that this kind of thing only happened once in seven or eight years, but he had actually encountered it? Could it be that because of his legendary protagonist body, he was always able to encounter such a rare event?

At the same time, a radio suddenly sounded in the hall.

“An Earth Vein Tide has appeared in the Giant Rock Cave, and various plants are growing faster. Manager Number One has ordered that each district must at least over 300 attribute-increasing items for this mystic realm mission.”

“In this mystic realm mission, the district that hands in the most items will receive a reward. Each wasteland reclaimer in that district will receive 10,000 general coins. The overseer will also receive an additional 150,000 general coins and can also choose two precious purple items.”

“Those who fail to meet the quota for this mystic realm mission will be severely punished. All wasteland reclaimers will not receive any general coins for the next month. Everyone’s star level will decrease by one level, and the overseer will be punished severely!”

Lin Xuan was shocked when he heard this.

Looks like the manager was planning to take advantage of this rare Earth Vein Tide to accumulate a large number of items to increase his attributes.

This reward and punishment was clearly forcing the wasteland reclaimers to work quickly and not slack off.

In this way, it was also possible for the wasteland reclaimers to fight each other in various areas.

However, Lin Xuan smiled as he looked at the more than 600 Rock Belly Fruits and Soul Nurturing Flowers in his consciousness space.

The overseers’ eyes also lit up.

Two precious purple items! These were good items!

Lu Luo also took a few deep breaths before calming down. She also needed these two precious purple items!

Lu Luo waved her hand and watched them pass the door of light. “Do your best to complete the mission. Don’t disappoint me.”

Lin Xuan stepped through the door of light and arrived at the Giant Rock Cave. After circling around, he arrived at a cave on the sixth floor of the Giant Rock Cave.

This cave was specially made for him by the Gold Swallowing Lizard. It was extremely hidden and was covered in warm fur. It was also very comfortable to lie in.

He had stayed here for two days. When he had nothing to do, he would look at the point of view of the Gold Swallowing Lizard and the Steel Soldier Ant. It was as if he was watching a movie and had no intention of leaving at all.

“Not bad. I’ve forged five peerless golden runes recently. However, there are only two that are suitable for me.”

…

Name: Impregnable Gold (1/2)

Level: Level one First Realm

Quality: Peerless Golden

Set Requirements: Shield above level one First Realm

Effect 1: Health Points+10%.

Effect 2: Any attack that lands on this equipment will have a critical hit chance of -50%.

Effect 3: (Locked) Any attack that lands on this equipment will cause the user of the equipment to recover 20 health points.

…

“Impregnable Gold is a peerless golden rune set. Fortunately, I’ve already obtained two. I’m still short of a third.”

Lin Xuan was very satisfied and immediately spent his general coins to set the two runes on the Dragon Hunter Shield.

The current Dragon Hunter Shield already had enough equipment essence to advance to First Realm. It had completely met the requirement for these two runes.

At this moment, Lin Xuan suddenly saw two wasteland reclaimers advancing from the Gold Swallowing Lizard’s perspective.

He knew these two people. They were the trusted aides of District B’s Overseer, Yang Wei. One of them was called Zhao Yong.

Zhao Yong roared with laughter. “I led a few others to tail those stupid bastards from District C. When they found the Soul Nurturing Flower and were caught off guard, I rushed over and beat them up, forcing them to hand over everything! Didn’t you see their tragic expressions? I’m dying of laughter.”

“Hehe, our Overseer’s plan is really effective. I also intercepted several idiots from District C. They definitely won’t be able to complete the mission. Lu Luo might even be punished,” another wasteland reclaimer said with a smug smile.

Zhao Yong said smugly, “I just calculated that the wasteland reclaimers in our District B have already obtained more than 600 attribute items. I also heard that District A and District D might only have obtained 500 attribute items. We’re very likely to be first place!”

“Alright, alright, alright. Then we’ll all be rewarded!”

“Let’s go. Our people have found another place that has many Rock Belly Fruits. Hurry up and pick them!”

The two of them chatted excitedly in low voices, unaware that a Gold Swallowing Lizard was following closely behind.

Lin Xuan was stunned before shaking his head with a smile.

Helping District C get first place did not do him much good. He only hoped that they would not be last.

However, if this continued, District C would really be last place. All the wasteland reclaimers, including him, would be collectively punished.

“I originally did not want to make a move, but unfortunately, a despicable person is causing trouble.”

Lin Xuan left this cave and quickly found the other martial artists in District C.

Sun Zhiguo was so furious that he drank his wine gloomily. The dozen or so District C martial artists beside him were also dejected. This time, they had found at least 200 Rock Belly Fruits and Soul Nurturing Flowers in the Giant Rock Cave. All of them had been snatched away by Zhao Yong and the others.

“Brother Sun, brothers, good news! I overheard Zhao Yong and the others discover a place that has a large number of Rock Belly Fruits. Should we return the favor?!” Lin Xuan said with an indignant expression.

Sun Zhiguo stood up immediately and said excitedly, “Really?”

He trusted Lin Xuan very much. If not for Lin Xuan pushing him back then, he would have long died under the mouth of the Steel Soldier Ant.

The other wasteland reclaimers in District C also became excited.

They had always been beaten up. Now, they finally had a chance to retaliate!

“If everyone trusts me, follow me! It’s time for revenge!” Lin Xuan shouted.

Sun Zhiguo patted his shoulder heavily. “Alright! I believe you!”

The others were also very confident in Lin Xuan’s character. They immediately followed.

As Lin Xuan led Sun Zhiguo and the others to chase after them, he changed the training strategy of the Gold Swallowing Lizard from “attack and defense” to “take the initiative to attack”.

“Now, all I have to do is watch a good show!” Lin Xuan chuckled in his heart.

The current Gold Swallowing Lizard was no longer the same as before. By eating ores, it had managed to increase its Constitution to 30 and its Strength to 25. Ordinary mystic realm kings would not be able to do anything to it. At the very least, it would have to be an experienced mystic realm king.

However, ever since Lin Xuan had killed the Earth Dragon King, no new experienced mystic realm king had appeared.

It could be said that the Gold Swallowing Lizard was the invisible overlord of the Giant Rock Cave!

At this moment, Zhao Yong and the other eight wasteland reclaimers in District B were squatting down excitedly to pick the Rock Belly Fruits.

This was a cave with a rock wall. No one usually came here, so a large number of Rock Belly Fruits had grown here without being discovered.

The wasteland reclaimer in District B had only discovered it by accident.

“Hahaha, I made a killing! There are at least a hundred Rock Belly Fruits here!”

“Our District B is safe this time! We’ll definitely get number one!”

Zhao Yong and the others were overjoyed.

He was overjoyed at the thought of obtaining 10,000 general coins and 30,000 experience points after the mission ended.

At this moment, the Gold Swallowing Lizard appeared silently behind them.

Zhao Yong frowned in anger after being nudged by the Gold Swallowing Lizard. “Who the hell touched my butt?! My sexual orientation is very normal. I only like tentacles and animals.”

He turned around and saw a golden lizard. He immediately sneered.

“Oh? So it’s a Gold…”

Before he could finish speaking, the Gold Swallowing Lizard pounced forward.

Bang!

Zhao Yong seemed to have been struck in the butt by a cannonball as his entire body was smashed into the rock wall. His chest collapsed, and blood sprayed from his mouth while blood dripped from his pants.

The surrounding wasteland reclaimers were incomparably shocked when they saw the attributes of the Gold Swallowing Lizard.

“Damn! What’s going on? A level nine Zero Realm demon beast!”

“Damn! Constitution 30 and Strength 25. No wonder Brother Zhao was sent flying. Its attributes are too abnormal. Run, run!”

These wasteland reclaimers wanted to run, but they were instantly sent flying by the Gold Swallowing Lizard’s claw. They spat out blood like Zhao Yong and had frightened expressions.

In just a few minutes, these people were all seriously injured and could not even move a finger.

At this moment, Lin Xuan and Sun Zhiguo arrived!
