Chapter 110

Chen Luo carefully analyzed Rices words and inferred the following:

If the intimacy level with Rice is 100, then the outcome of Rices predictions can be altered, and Rice wont suffer consequences for it.

Currently, this level of intimacy only exists between Chen Luo, Mi Li, and Mi Ling.

For those with an intimacy level below 100, altering Rices predictions will result in consequences, whether its 99 or 0.

Rice mentioned that everyone was heading toward it, with varying distances, which isnt based on intimacy but rather on individual strength.

At present, apart from Chen Luos group, the Thunderbolt King undoubtedly possesses the strongest strength among those Rice has interacted with. If its fate were to be altered, Rice would experience the most severe backlash, potentially leading to dire consequences.

For someone like Xu Mingqing, who is at the second level while Rice is at the fourth level, altering their fate might cause injury but not death.

Chen Luo speculated that as Rices level becomes more powerful, such as reaching the King level, altering the fate of those at lower levels, even without an intimacy level of 100, might not pose any danger.

In any case, such an ability should be used with caution. Chen Luo hadnt encountered Rices ability in his previous life.

Chen Luo patted the Thunderbolt Kings head and said, Thunderbolt King, from now on, you should try to befriend Rice more. It will be beneficial for you.

The Thunderbolt King was a bit bewildered. Come on, today, I let it lie on top of me, and it nearly scared me to death. If this happens a few more times, there wont be a dog left. Besides, Im not a bootlicker, so why should I try to befriend it?

Chen Luo explained in a low voice, and the Thunderbolt Kings eyes lit up. Is the benefit this significant? Does it mean it can keep me from dying? Then I wont have to worry about Old Sixs sneak attacks.

Chen Luo placed Rice on Thunderbolt Kings back and said, Rice, from now on, the Thunderbolt King will also serve as your mount.

Hmm, Dog Knight Rice sounds like an insult to Rice.

Rice the Rider? Thats better.

Ladies and gentlemen, introducing Rice the Rider, aged two, a graduate of the Couch Potato University at the Rice household.

When the Thunderbolt King reaches level seven or eight and its size increases again, Chen Luo can probably ride it with some effort. When it reaches the King level, it can be a proper steed.

Once their abilities were somewhat depleted, Shu Yun and the others started heading back. On their way, they encountered another group of survivors. Among them, one person was injured, and a woman in her mid-twenties was tending to the injured individual.

A girl named Zhang Lei from Shu Yuns team lit up with excitement and quickly ran over. Inviting qualified new members was rewarded with points, especially those who possessed healing abilities, which was worth even more, with a minimum of fifty points.

If it had been some sketchy guy approaching their group, everyone would have been cautious. But since it was a beautiful young woman they had seen a couple of times before, they didnt have their guards up. In fact, several young men were smiling and trying to make a good impression, thinking that even in the apocalypse, winning the favor of these girls would be quite satisfying.

The girl with healing abilities was named Gao Yue. After she had finished treating the injured person, Zhang Lei and the others pulled her aside.

Being another girl, Gao Yue hesitated for a moment but eventually followed Zhang Lei. She felt somewhat insecure because she was wearing ill-fitting clothes that were a bit dirty, and her complexion was pale. In contrast, Zhang Lei not only had a healthy complexion but also wore clean attire.

Gao Yue had found a beautiful dress but was too afraid to wear it.

Zhang Lei whispered, Are you interested in joining our group? The crystals are provided daily, and you can absorb as many as you want, all of which are second-level crystals. We live in a villa, and we have all kinds of daily necessities. We also provide three meals a day, and the food is greatyou can eat as much as you want. Most importantly, everyone here is female, so youll be safe. In our group, no man has ever dared to harass us.

The mention of having enough crystals and three meals caught Gao Yues attention, but what truly swayed her was the promise of safety. She couldnt even wear a dress right now due to her insecurity. She could only wear a small T-shirt, and her old one had torn apart.

Seeing the friendly smiles from the girls on Shu Yuns team, Gao Yue nodded eagerly.

Zhang Lei was overjoyed because she had just secured fifty points. Of course, she wouldnt spend them but would save them until she had accumulated three hundred points, becoming an elite member with a private room, enjoying the same privileges as Shu Yun and Mi Ling at every meal.

Other people watched Zhang Lei with envy, cursing her for snatching the opportunity. Zhang Lei asked, Is there anything you need to gather from over there? We have everything in our place, so dont take anything unless its essential.

Gao Yue shook her head, No.

The other group of people looked bewildered as they watched Gao Yue and the others leave. They couldnt believe it. Did they just steal our precious resource?

They dared not act because they had seen that Shu Yuns team was different from them. Shu Yuns team fought the zombies head-on with real weapons, unlike their group that relied on ambushes and traps. They were just a small group of people spread out across several streets. It wasnt feasible for them to ambush a single zombie with over a hundred people.

After Gao Yue joined, she became a regular member right away. Being a priest, the probability of having one was quite low, only one in every five or six hundred people. As long as she had no malicious intent, she didnt have to start as a new member like regular people. Capable individuals could be treated specially.

Gao Yues talent was good; she could absorb two second-level crystals a day. Chen Luo generously awarded Zhang Lei with 100 points.

During lunch, when Gao Yue looked at the small amount of beef in her bowl, tears of excitement streamed down her face. When she learned that one point could exchange for two large pieces of beef, Gao Yue instantly decided that she needed to recruit more people.
