Chapter 38: 038 The Progress of the Silly Boy

After speaking, Zhang Bei's gaze turned to Daniu.

"I'll still leave the City Defense Squad to you, you must ensure the safety of the city."

Daniu nodded: "I know."

Zhang Bei's eyes looked out the window: "Su Xiao Xiao, arrange all the reception personnel during this time."

"Got it!"

After arranging a series of tasks, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the Qingshan Settlement has backed down, then for the next period of time.

The population of the entire settlement will usher in an explosion.

However, as long as preparations are made in advance, it doesn't matter much whether Zhang Bei is there or not.

"I think I can participate in the battle too!"

Jin Yuan's voice came from behind.

Zhang Bei frowned and looked at Daniu: "What do you think?"

Daniu thought for a moment: "I think it's okay, Xiao Yuan can now ensure his own safety when facing wild beasts alone."

Zhang Bei nodded: "Then you take him, participate in a few battles, and improve your superpower early."

Dinner ended amidst the wailing in the live broadcast room.

On the twenty-fourth day of Ice Age survival, Zhang Bei set off toward the west.

Ye Fan: 【Morning!】

Qiu Xingwen: 【Such a familiar feeling.】

Li Qinqin: 【It seems like the beginning!】

Zhang Bei looked up at the barrage in the live broadcast room: "It's different. At that time, I was doing it to survive, now it's for strength."

Accompanied by the morning sun, Zhang Bei took out the Positioning Card from his arms.

He clicked use and looked at the input box in front of him.

He entered the wild beast required by the task, and the card in front of him shattered immediately.

It turned into a translucent light screen, showing the map of the surroundings.

Countless small red dots on the map were constantly moving.

He looked at his position and walked toward the nearest red dot.

Chatting with the audience in the live broadcast room along the way, following the map's guidance.

Finally, he arrived at a snowy mountain in the afternoon.

The map showed that there were a full fifteen red dots on this mountainside.

He reached out and drew his long sword, walking up the mountain with vigilance.

Zhang Bei quickly approached a lone red dot.

What appeared before his eyes was a creature similar to a deer.

It's just that what grew on the top of this deer's head was a sharp horn.

He looked at the task on his watch.

【Unicorn Fearer: Hunt ten Unicorn Deer.】

Those that could survive in this environment were long ago no longer ordinary herbivores.

The Unicorn Deer pulled away the moment it discovered Zhang Bei.

Purple light flashed on its horn.

An arrow formed by purple energy was fired immediately.

Zhang Bei flashed and approached the Unicorn Deer instantly.

The long sword easily sliced through the Unicorn Deer's body.

Looking at the blood flowing out, Zhang Bei nodded slightly.

The strength of the Unicorn Deer was not very high; even dealing with ten at once was no problem.

Li Qinqin: 【Holy crap, it was killed in seconds?】

Wu Yingcai: 【Otherwise? Brother Bei's strength now is not what it was at the beginning.】

Niu Xuanming: 【So next is just grinding tasks?】

He flicked his long sword, and a purple core fell into his hand.

Looking at the barrage, most were discussing his strength.

"The strength of this kind of herbivore is not very strong; even an ordinary person can kill one by relying on traps."

Looking at the red dots flashing on the map, Zhang Bei walked toward the snowy mountain again.

The sky gradually darkened, and Zhang Bei put away the last core.

The watch immediately made a sound.

【Congratulations to player Zhang Bei, successfully completed task: Unicorn Fearer.

Obtained reward: Strength Enhancement once.】

As the voice in his ears fell, the system's voice immediately came from his brain.

【Detected that the reward is being issued, please choose to invest Popularity Value.】

Zhang Bei looked up at his remaining popularity; after this period of accumulation, it had already reached more than eight thousand.

He directly invested one thousand Popularity Value, and the numbers on the golden screen scrolled rapidly.

Looking at the numbers that slowly stopped, Zhang Bei's face immediately darkened.

【Current critical multiplier: 5】

This was a critical hit of one thousand Popularity Value, and the maximum multiplier was a full five times!

He sighed silently, and his consciousness returned to reality.

Before he could react, a white light shrouded his body.

The cells all over his body were torn and reorganized.

At the same time, it brought intense pain.

This severe pain was experienced a full five times before it disappeared.

Zhang Bei was covered in sweat and knelt on the ground.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate in his heart; fortunately, it was only five times.

If it had come a few more times, he really might not have been able to hold on.

He clenched his fist, and a sense of substantial power came.

It's just that the sky was now completely dark.

Even if he wanted to find a wild beast to test his strength, it wasn't the right time.

He found a suitable cave and drilled into it.

He took out a fire-type core and lit a raging fire.

He cut off a deer leg and placed it on the fire.

He reached out and opened his live broadcast room.

"That's it for today, does anyone know how things are over at the settlement?"

Li Qinqin: 【I know, Jin Yuan is really fierce!】

Niu Xuanming: 【Can only say that monsters are clustered together.】

Wu Yingcai: 【Quite a bit of Zhao Zilong's style.】

Zhang Bei's eyes were full of confusion: "What are you talking about, how would I know?"

He had the heart to apply for a call to Su Xiao Xiao, but gave up.

He came out this time not only for his own tasks, but also to exercise the abilities of these people.

If everything had to rely on him, they would never grow.

The people in the live broadcast room chatted for a long time, and finally someone discovered Zhang Bei's problem.

Niu Xuanming: 【Daniu held a martial arts competition for the City Defense Squad today.】

Wu Yingcai: 【Jin Yuan participated as a contestant.】

Niu Xuanming: 【He killed his way to the semi-finals and was defeated only because of insufficient energy.】

Zhang Bei raised his eyebrows when he saw this.

He didn't expect that silly boy to have made such great progress in these few days.

From this point of view, the situation at the settlement was still good, and basically there would be no problems.

After eating the familiar roast meat, Zhang Bei said goodnight to the live broadcast room before falling asleep.

For the next few days, cooperating with the Positioning Card, he headed west all the way.

Finally, on the sixth day, he arrived at the seaside.

At this time, there were only three tasks left on the task list.

Except for one that was to find a material called "Meteor Iron".

The rest were hunting tasks, and all were related to the ocean.

【Ocean Overlord: Kill ten marine creatures】

【Sea Shark Punishment: Successfully hunt one Double-headed Giant Tooth Shark.】

Besides these two tasks, Zhang Bei's harvest in these few days was also very rich.

Strength, speed, and reaction had all been enhanced.

Although he didn't get the powerful superpower he had been thinking about.

He also obtained a very good skill. ===== CHAPTER 39 =====
