CHAPTER 360: CHAPTER 319: THE LAST PIECE OF THE PUZZLE, THE COST IS...

"I’m not some kind of domineering person, I’m just agreeing to do this task similar to a release with you. You find things, and then I use other resources to exchange them. Essentially, our positions are the same, and there’s no so-called superior-subordinate relationship. Fei Yue, please understand this, I don’t like being called domineering people, just call me Lin Yue from now on."

Fei Yue glanced at his equally surprised subordinates about Lin Yue’s choice. He originally wanted to argue a bit, but in the end, he remained silent and nodded helplessly.

Lin Yue has already jumped out of this pit, no matter how hard he tries, it’s futile.

Although not called domineering people, he is actually the domineering person itself.

Even though Lin Yue defined it clearly now, Fei Yue feels that maybe, in a period of time, he can change back to the original state.

The mission from the Third Master must be completed.

No matter what, I can’t lead this Refugee Village well, only Lin Yue can do it.

Moreover, Lin Yue is also the person who leads humanity back to glory, completely trampling disaster underfoot.

This is unquestionable, crystal clear.

"Okay, Lin Yue, let’s listen to you then." Fei Yue took a deep breath.

He cannot make the whole situation more chaotic, Lin Yue must be the Savior!

"Alright, then tell me what you discovered this time."

Lin Yue did not think too much about it, the other party’s reaction was not resistant, presumably they wanted to drag it out.

But it’s not a big deal, as long as I adhere to principles, it’s fine.

Whatever power or not, I’m not interested.

Whatever Savior or not, whoever wants to be it can be it.

"It’s like this, Lin Yue. This morning we discovered a special Ancient Secret Realm Gate, and at that time you happened to ask us to look for alloys and organic glass. I went to investigate over with half of the people, and as for the original Ancient Secret Realm Gate there, it was another team that led to scout inside. The special Ancient Secret Realm Gate directly led to a place that looked like a metropolis, we found a lot of alloys and organic glass there, but also encountered Lizardmen."

Hmm? Lizardmen?

Special Ancient Secret Realm Gate... this thing was mentioned during the 4.0 system upgrade, that a special Ancient Secret Realm Gate would randomly appear, and coexist with the original.

The original Ancient Secret Realm Gate wouldn’t refresh once every two days, but would continually exist.

Fei Yue and his team actually encountered Lizardmen in the location inside the special Ancient Secret Realm Gate...

The last time Lizardmen drove away the Poison Celestial Dragon, he had some ideas. Lizardmen can group to enter the Secret Realm, searching for those monsters that lived together in Otherworld from their wall paintings, wanting them to return to Otherworld, especially to attack the Survivors, primarily him.

They discovered the Ancient Secret Realm Gate and could actively enter it, probably by the beggar’s advice.

Now, they entered the special Ancient Secret Realm Gate again and encountered Fei Yue’s team...

What next?

"We annihilated the 20-person Lizardmen squad, with them there were also three beggars, during the fight we took out two, the last one surrendered and we captured him. That beggar revealed quite an important secret to us in order to survive."

Lin Yue raised his eyebrows, a secret from beggar?

A secret... what could the secret be?

In this world, intelligence is of utmost importance, just like originally on Earth.

It’s safe to say, within the numerous groups worldwide, each group holds considerable intelligence, which generally won’t be leaked, thereby further enhancing the advantage of their own forces.

Lin Yue contemplated himself; he possesses too much intelligence, especially the kind that others lack.

But others had never given him any intelligence.

One should know that intelligence is very valuable, and can be exchanged for many things.

"So, I can offer 1 to 3 bottles of wine based on the importance of the intelligence, or if you want something else, I can exchange accordingly." Lin Yue felt that since he just mentioned not being a domineering person, he must be firm and principled in this aspect as well.

Give what should be given, and ask for what should be asked for.

Wine means little to him, but it is a precious commodity to other people in the Refugee Village.

Even if they don’t drink it, using it for exchanging necessities will have many people wanting to trade.

"This won’t do, domineering person, no, Lin Yue, intelligence is meant to be told to you actively, not for trade."

Fei Yue’s reply was loyal, evidently treating him as a substantial domineering person and leader.

But this is not what Lin Yue wanted.

"I should’ve been clear, our relationship isn’t so complicated, and certainly not superior-subordinate. Intelligence I exchange with goods, this fits our actual relationship."

Fei Yue, seeing this message, knew Lin Yue was adamant this time.

"Well then, Lin Yue, since you’re so persistent, I won’t hold back. This is the situation, after we captured the beggar, he wanted to trade his freedom for intelligence, and ended up confessing that Lizardmen are gathering for a major invasion of the Secret Realm, intending to establish a base there, and also planning to attack your Refugee Village."

What? Lizardmen want to establish a base in the Secret Realm?

This is not good news...

Exploring in the Secret Realm and encountering Lizardmen teaming with beggars to attack is not great news, and beggars will disguise as Survivors, then lead Lizardmen to attack them...

Moreover, if they really construct a base inside the Secret Realm, then eliminating them becomes more challenging.

The city ruins over at the Secret Realm are way more complex than any Underground Ruins or this Desert terrain!

As for this bunch wanting to assault his Shelter, that’s not precisely noteworthy intelligence, these guys do it daily, it’s not new.

"I understand, this is quite good intelligence; if wine is okay, I’ll trade it over, please check receipt."

Lin Yue placed three bottles of wine as a reward, sending a dedicated trade to Fei Yue.

"Lin Yue, we found plenty of alloy and organic glass with specific categories, I’ll send them to you directly, see how much you need. This time, we couldn’t collect asphalt road material."

"Alright, I understand. I’ll soon trade vegetables, fruits, wine with you guys, if you need anything else, just say."

Lin Yue glanced; they collected a total of 172 pieces of various alloy and 282 pieces of organic glass!

The harvest is indeed plentiful.

"We really need vegetables and fruits, also, if you’re abundant in water, we could use some too. By the way, I found a throttle valve, intending to exchange it for something, not sure if you have that."

"Oh? Throttle valve? What do you want?" The throttle valve! The final piece needed for the medium-sized food preservation cold storage!

Search endlessly without finding!

Well done, Fei Yue!

Lin Yue knew he seems to have another matter to attend to tomorrow!

However, what would Fei Yue want?

Suddenly he had a premonition, and took something out of the Storage Space.

Maybe, it’s this.

"Lin Yue, I’m looking for the crossbow blueprint."

As expected.

Lin Yue looked at the Steel Repeating Crossbow, finding out he was right.

This is it!
