About ten minutes later, Lin Bei was happily shopping online beside the Bonfire at the village entrance. The Disqualified Ones he had sent out had all gathered beside him, standing motionless and waiting for his next instruction.
"Hmm? You've searched all the rooms?"
"Yes, Master."
"You made sure not to miss a single corner?"
"Yes, Master."
"Mhm... well done! Do you usually need to absorb any energy or materials?"
"Reporting to Master, as Disqualified Ones, we cannot become stronger through conventional means, nor do we feel hunger, thirst, or fatigue."
Alpha lowered his head and replied. He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "If there is anything we Disqualified Ones like, it would probably be fresh blood and materials and items related to curses."
"Oh, I see... I don't have these things on hand right now, but I'll reward you later when I do."
"Thank you, Master!"
Lin Bei fell into contemplation upon hearing this.
Unfortunately, he really didn't have these strange items to reward the Disqualified Ones, so he had to drop the matter.
"Wait! You said... you also like powers related to curses?"
"That's right."
"Haha, I have an idea! Wait until you come back with me later, and I'll introduce someone to you! I believe you will get along very happily!"
Lin Bei laughed out loud upon hearing this.
That's right, he thought of Da Hei. This guy comes from the Tianmo Clan, and his innate bloodline carries curse power, which uncontrollably spreads curse energy around him.
If Alpha and the others were placed next to Da Hei, they would definitely be very happy.
As for whether Da Hei agrees?
He wasn't worried at all.
Who told him that Lin Bei held Da Hei's ultimate blackmail material?
For him, dealing with a mere Da Hei was a piece of cake!
It is worth mentioning, however, that the rewards obtained by the Disqualified Ones he summoned through the disqualified ones ring for killing enemies would all be credited to him.
Therefore, in just the short ten-odd minutes that passed, all the rewards for killing the other Disqualified Ones inside the rooms fell to Lin Bei.
The only pity was that the Disqualified Ones in this village seemed to be Puppet Disqualified Ones formed by the power of the Altar, and their own fundamental power was incomplete. Thus, the rewards Lin Bei received after killing them were not as generous as imagined.
On average, for every Puppet Disqualified One killed in the village, he only received 10,000 experience points and one Incomplete Lost Soul.
[Incomplete Lost Soul: Contains partial residual power of the Disqualified Ones. Due to severe damage, it cannot be used directly. Note: Ten Incomplete Lost Souls can be synthesized into one Complete Lost Soul that can be absorbed directly.]
Counting it up, after sweeping the entire village, Lin Bei obtained nearly two hundred Incomplete Lost Souls.
Adding the thousand-plus Incomplete Lost Souls obtained previously from destroying the Altar, the total number reached exactly one thousand two hundred.
If all were synthesized, Lin Bei could obtain a full one hundred and twenty Complete Lost Souls.
This could already be called a huge fortune.
Originally, after using one lost soul, Lin Bei could only gain about 100 points of Combat Power increase with the Critical Hit effect bonus.
But now, as the Lucky Ambassador, under the blessing of terrifying luck, he could trigger at least the Hundredfold Critical Hit effect.
Therefore, if he were to use these Complete Lost Souls now, each one could provide him with at least 1,000 points of Combat Power.
One hundred and twenty lost souls, even if they only triggered the minimum Hundredfold Critical Hit effect, would be enough combined to make his Combat Power soar by 120,000 points!
"As expected of a special Underworld area that can only be entered through the back door, the rewards are truly substantial!"
Lin Bei sighed emotionally, "As the saying goes, it's good to have a big tree to lean on for shade."
Behind him, Lin Bei, was the wise and mighty Overseer—Aleria herself—personally managing the operation!
Although achieving this might be utterly insignificant to the other party, for Lin Bei, it was like divine assistance!
"Putting everything else aside, I must at least remember the kindness of the wise and mighty Overseer. One day, when I become successful, I must properly repay her."
"The Overseer is so thoughtful and takes care of a little newbie like me; she must be an unparalleled beauty with a kind heart, loved by all!"
"Overseer, you are my god!"
"Overseer..."
Lin Bei spoke aloud to himself.
He knew that he might be monitored by the Overseer Aleria in every action, so his flattery towards her poured out of his mouth like a barrage of cannon fire.
He didn't know about the Goddess of Luck, but this Overseer Aleria was truly beyond words; she handled things perfectly.
The only thing Lin Bei wanted to complain about was the treasure map that recorded the location of a world core fragment.
He strongly suspected that this treasure map also came from the hand of the Overseer.
Regarding this point, he couldn't help but say a few words.
Honestly, is this world core fragment really that easy to obtain?
He was just a newbie who had only entered the Survival World a few days ago, lacking Combat Power and experience. Asking him to complete such a high-difficulty mission now—wasn't that a bit whimsical?
He decided that when he contacted the other party later, he must have a serious talk with her.
He was still young and inexperienced; he needed to steer clear of such dangerous things.
Once he developed stealthily and became strong enough, even if these world core fragments fell into the hands of people from other factions, he could still snatch them back.
How did that saying go?
The one who laughs last is the winner!
"Hmph, this kid... he's not bad."
Deep within the Black Space, inside the Golden Hall, a pink-haired girl with dimples smiled as she looked at the figure on the screen, growing more satisfied the longer she watched.
"Mhm... seeing how sensible you are, I won't rush you to look for the world core fragment for now. I'll let you develop for a while longer."
Aleria's lips curved into a smile. She then immediately turned off the monitoring screen and lowered her head to operate the keyboard.
Since the little brother in her faction was so sensible, she needed to take good care of him.
She decided to use her authority as an Overseer to give her obedient little brother some small surprises within the scope permitted by the rules.
"Phew... the feeling of being monitored is finally gone."
In the Underworld, Lin Bei felt the strange gaze lift from him and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Possessing Super Intuition, he could perceive anyone spying on him.
Even if they were separated by endless space and using special methods, they still couldn't escape his perception.
"If I guessed correctly, the one monitoring me must be Aleria. Fortunately, I flattered her a bit just now, so she should be in a good mood, right?"
"If possible, I really hope this adorable Overseer can arrange more high-reward Dungeon Instances for me, so I can grind until I'm satisfied!"
Lin Bei muttered in his heart, his eyes filled with deep anticipation.
Afterward, Lin Bei looked at the various supplies piled up at the village entrance.
Many of them were useless garbage; a glance showed no attributes, clearly lacking even recycling value.
After removing the garbage, only a pitiful dozen or so items remained in front of Lin Bei.
Only two of them were decent. As for the rest, Lin Bei didn't hesitate, recycling them all using his Shopping Tablet in exchange for brave badges.
Because of the minimum Hundredfold Critical Hit gain, although these items weren't worth much, Lin Bei still ended up with millions of brave badges in his purse.
This speed of income... was much faster than what he had just spent on online shopping.
"Sigh, having so much money on me and not being able to spend it makes me feel so distressed."
Lin Bei looked at the mountainous pile of brave badges inside his storage treasure box, displaying a look of helplessness and letting out a long sigh.
The life of the rich is indeed boring and tedious, lacking any challenge...
