Coastal City, Su Family Building.
In the high-level conference hall.
The chairman, president, and vice presidents of the Su family were all seated.
At this moment, Su Jinya, who was calling Zhang Yue in front of the Su family’s top executives, was slightly surprised when she heard him agree to her invitation so readily.
Then, on the other end of the line, Zhang Yue stated his condition: “I can join you, but I have one condition.”
“When the guild has major events or needs, I will participate, but otherwise, you cannot interfere with my freedom.”
Since Su Jinya had put the call on speaker, everyone present could hear Zhang Yue’s words.
Chairman Su Chen immediately objected: “Joining the guild means working for the guild. Everyone pursues freedom, but what’s the point of creating a guild then?”
Zhang Yue was equally decisive: “If you can’t agree to this condition, then forget it.”
Beep…
The call was abruptly cut off.
Su Jinya frowned slightly: “As this year’s newly promoted Professional, he was able to solo kill the First World’s BOSS and clear the First World in just half a day, breaking the fifty-year-old record set by our Dragon Kingdom’s top-tier expert [Wuhen]. He’s definitely a rare talent!”
Meanwhile, other senior officials of the board offered their advice:
“This kid broke Miss Su Jinyan’s Plague Body, making her the first Epic Grade Professional in our Su family history. He’s practically a benefactor to our family!”
“He also mentioned that he’s not entirely free. He will participate when we have events or needs. In my opinion, we can agree to his condition first and bring him into our Mist Rain Pavilion guild.”
“If he truly doesn’t comply with management, we can make a decision then.”
Seeing that all the officials agreed, Chairman Su Chen had no choice but to relent: “Alright, we’ll go with your suggestion!”
Thus.
Zhang Yue received another call from Su Jinya.
“Hello.”
“Regarding the condition you mentioned earlier, we can agree to it and won’t interfere with your freedom. When can you come to our company for registration?”
Zhang Yue replied, “I’ll work from home. No need to go to the company. We’re all in Coastal City, and the login points for the Otherworld are the same.”
“This…”
“What’s the matter, is that not okay?”
“It’s fine, no problem!” Su Jinya replied decisively, fearing that if she delayed even a second, Zhang Yue might hang up again.
With a simple process, Zhang Yue officially joined the Mist Rain Pavilion.
He searched online.
Mist Rain Pavilion Guild, ranked fifth in the Zhening Province guild rankings of the Dragon Kingdom!
“Not bad, just two ranks below the Supreme Guild.”
“No wonder even a newcomer can get a monthly salary of thirty thousand.”
Saying this, Zhang Yue opened a Spatial Rift and logged into the Otherworld.
“Ding~ Please select the world you want to enter!”
“[First World·Nightmare Source]!”
“[Second World·Zombie Siege]!”
Zhang Yue chose the Second World.
Swoosh!
As white light enveloped him, Zhang Yue descended into a city far more prosperous than Doomsday Town!
“Ding~ Welcome to the Second World·Zombie Siege. Based on your login location, your Safe Zone is [Nottingham City]!”
“Ding~ Second World mission released!”
[Second World·Zombie Siege]
[Background: The apocalypse has arrived, bringing disaster to the world. Humanity, shrouded in dark clouds, has begun to mutate. Zombies are about to besiege the city. As a survivor of Nottingham City, you must protect it with others. If the zombies break through, you will have nowhere to escape!]
[World Mission 1: Clear a Secret Realm (Progress 0/1)]
[World Mission 2: Participate in and successfully repel three Zombie Tides (Progress 0/3)]
[Note: Completing the above world missions will activate the Second World BOSS dungeon teleport channel. Defeat the BOSS to enter the Third World.]
Closing the mission interface.
Zhang Yue pondered, “Zombie Tides require timing. It’s better to prioritize the first mission.”
“But the minimum level for Secret Realms in the Second World is 15. With my current strength, I can’t handle it yet.”
“First, I need to level up and improve my strength.”
With that, Zhang Yue headed out of the city.
Upon arriving at the west side of the city, he saw many NPC soldiers patrolling the city walls.
“Hurry! The Zombie Tide might come in the next few days. Everyone, deploy quickly!” The iron-armored captain, Norse, shouted commands.
Zhang Yue noticed a yellow “?” above his head.
Of course, it wasn’t a coincidence; Zhang Yue had come to find him based on a guide.
Zhang Yue approached Norse and triggered the dialogue.
“These damn zombies keep attacking Nottingham City. The weapons in our warehouse are almost depleted!” Norse said with a worried expression.
Zhang Yue offered, “Perhaps I can help you collect materials to forge more weapons.”
“Really?” Norse was overjoyed, “Thank you so much, warrior!”
“Go to the west of Nottingham City and hunt some mutated zombies. Collect materials from them for me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the System Notification sounded—
“Ding~ You have received the quest [Collect Materials]!”
[Collect Materials] (Common Quest)
[Difficulty: 200]
[Description: The Nottingham City armory urgently needs supplies. Please go to the west of Nottingham City, to the garrison camp occupied by mutated zombies, and collect materials.]
[Progress: 0/100 (Fire Zombie Cores), 0/100 (Ice Zombie Cores), 0/100 (Poison Zombie Cores)]
[Rewards: Experience Points +, Silver Coins +50, Psionic Energy +9000, Random 2-star Equipment +2, Skill Book or Pet Egg +1 (Probability)]
The guide noted: There are about a dozen quests in Nottingham City.
This one is the hardest, with the richest rewards and the widest scope, including zombies from levels 11 to 20.
It’s perfect for Zhang Yue, one quest to tackle all at once!
Once the quest is completed, the Second World should be almost cleared.
After accepting the quest, Zhang Yue left the city.
Outside Nottingham City, the land was shrouded in gray, with countless severed limbs scattered among the ruins.
The stench of blood and decay filled the air.
Zombies with outstretched claws wandered aimlessly, emitting low growls.
These were just common zombies, not the mutated ones required for the quest.
So, Zhang Yue bypassed them and headed straight to the garrison camp.
The vast camp was lifeless.
Bloodstains were everywhere on the ground.
Zombies engulfed in flames appeared in Zhang Yue’s sight.
[Mutated·Flame Zombie] (Magic Type·Common Monster)
[Level: 11]
[Magic Attack Power: 125]
[Physical Defense: 85]
[Magic Defense: 90]
[Health Points: 850]
[Skills: Flame Missile, Fire Shield]
[Description: Have you ever seen a zombie that can spit fire? Don’t try to attack it with fire, as flames will only make it more excited…]
“Alright, you’re the one.” Zhang Yue raised the [Destroyer·Frost Staff] and summoned the Silver Armored Scorpion!
