Chapter 27: Level 4 Body Strengthening Pill! Adelia’s Loyalty!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“A Level 4 Body Strengthening Pill!”
Lin Ye’s gaze instantly locked onto the second last option.
From the name, one could tell that it was not a healing-type medicinal pill, but at least it was a Level 4 medicinal pill. It should have some use.
As for the other options, there was nothing to be conflicted about. He decided with ease.
“1111222.”
After he finished speaking, a large amount of resources appeared from the treasure chest and scattered all over the ground.
Lin Ye found a porcelain bottle of medicinal pills and a large silver bow in the middle. The rest was temporarily handed over to Worker One and the others to sort out.
He ran back to the second floor of the bunker.
He handed the Level 4 Body Strengthening Pill to Gran and asked, “Priest Gran, there weren’t any healing pills but is this okay?”
“A Level 4 Body Strengthening Pill!!!”
Gran’s eyes widened and his mouth twitched.
Although healing pills were valuable, they were just supplementary items.
It was expensive when needed. When unneeded, it could only be kept in the warehouse and accumulate dust. Its value was extremely volatile.
But the Body Strengthening Pill was different. It was one of the three most popular combat type medicinal pills.
Even if they were thrown into the underworld, there would be many Class 3 and 4 soldiers who would break their heads to obtain it.
“Ahem…”
As if sensing Lin Ye’s strange gaze, Gran lightly coughed and his complexion turned normal. He gracefully stroked his beard and tried his best to appear as calm as possible. Then, he leisurely said, “It’s not impossible. Combined with my Sacred Healing, it should be able to remove 70% of the corpse poison. The remaining 30% can be slowly removed afterwards.”
“But my lord, you have to consider carefully. This pill is more expensive than healing-type pills. It can greatly increase a soldier’s attributes, including corpse poison resistance, dark energy resistance, curse resistance, and so on. One might even be able to advance to Level 4 if they are lucky.”
“It might be a waste for it to be used to treat corpse poison.”
“As long as it’s useful. Let her use it.”
Hearing these words, Lin Ye heaved a sigh of relief. A mere Level 4 Body Strengthening Pill, how could that be considered too much?
“My lord? Did you not hear what I said?” Gran felt incredulous.
He had already hinted clearly, but Lin Ye did not seem to understand the value of a Level 4 Body Strengthening Pill.
That nonchalant look on his face made him look like a child by the roadside who had casually thrown a candy that he did not want to eat.
“I did hear you. Level 4 medicinal pills are precious and expensive. I do understand.”
Lin Ye nodded and said frankly, “But I prefer subordinates who are loyal to me. Compared to their loyalty, medicinal pills are just material things.”
As soon as he said that, the three other underworld people present – except for Adelia who had fainted – Gran, and the cat-eared chef Nicole, all had a strange look in their eyes.
[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your sincerity has touched the cat-eared chef Nicole. Loyalty has increased to 85%. Culinary skills have increased by 30%, and food bribery skills has increased by 20%!]
[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your sincerity touched Light Priest Gran. Loyalty has increased to 70%. Healing effect increased by 30%. Speed of recovery of his divine force increased by 30%!]
“This works too?”
Lin Ye’s mouth twitched. He suddenly felt like he had made a huge loss.
If he had known that this would happen, he would have done it in front of all his citizens.
He had to write it down in his notebook when he went back tonight. The next time he had the chance, he had to find a more crowded place.
He sighed inwardly, but on the surface, he acted as if nothing had happened. He waved his hand and said, “Let’s begin. Priest Gran, saving people is more important.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Gran held the Level 4 Body Strengthening Pill and could not help but feel excited. With a lord like this, what more could he ask for?
“Nicole, give it to Adelia.”
In the underworld, there were also boundaries between men and women. Furthermore, as a priest of the Church of Light, he was well-mannered.
Nicole agreed and carefully fed the Body Strengthening pill to Adelia.
However, there was a small problem.
Perhaps it was because of the corpse poison, the unconscious Adelia had her teeth clenched together tightly. Nicole couldn’t feed the pill.
With no other choice, Lin Ye could only use the old method from Earth. He took a wooden chopstick and forcefully pried her teeth apart, and finally fed her the Body Strengthening Pill.
The effect of the Level Four Body Strengthening Pill was strong. As soon as it entered her stomach, a large amount of mysterious energy emitted from her stomach, rapidly improving her overall constitution.
At the same time, Gran clenched his teeth. His body was bathed in holy light as he underwent another round of divine healing.
Under the double healing, Adelia’s body suddenly arched, and her bones made cracking sounds. The wind elemental energy surrounded her body as she floated into the air.
Ten minutes later, Gran used up all of his divine power of light.
The holy light particles dissipated and he laid on the ground like a dying dog, panting heavily.
On the other hand, Adelia gradually woke up and spat out a large amount of black blood, looking much better now.
The black patches on her arm were reduced to the size of an egg and were quickly suppressed by the elemental energy within her body.
“Nngh—”
She reabsorbed her wind element and landed on the ground.
She looked at Lin Ye, Nicole as well as Gran, who was lying on the ground, panting.
After a moment’s hesitation, she asked, “My lord, I think half of my corpse poison has been cured. Did you save me?”
Before Lin Ye could say anything, the enthusiastic Nicole eagerly offered her assistance.
“Adelia, the Lord saved you with a Level 4 Body Strengthening Pill. Together with Priest Gran, they managed to save you.”
Well done!
Lin Ye looked at her with admiration.
As expected, upon hearing this, even the proud Adelia would be moved.
The price of a Level 4 Body Strengthening Pill was still very expensive at these early stages.
Even someone of her status, who had lived in the clan for so many years, had only eaten six Level 1 and 2 Body Strengthening Pills. That was why she had been able to easily reach Class 3 and obtain the blessing of the God of Elements, obtaining the power of the wind element.
One could imagine that if Lin Ye used the Level 4 Body Strengthening Pill to trade with the various underworld clans, he could probably easily exchange for five soldiers of the same class as her.
When she thought of that, she felt touched.
“Thank you for saving my life my lord. I, the Elemental Ranger, Adelia, am willing to become the lord’s personal guard and protect you with my life!”
With a solemn expression, Adelia raised her hand and knelt down on one knee, displaying the highest etiquette of the underworld to Lin Ye.
[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your Class 3 Wind Elemental Ranger, Adelia, has been moved by your sincerity. Her loyalty has increased to 90%, and the effect of Tempos of the Wind has increased by 50%!]
[Note: Loyalty level has reached 90%. As long as you don’t betray them, they will be willing to fight to the death for you!]
“Wow, her loyalty increased by 20% at a go, almost a loyalist now. Even the number one lackey, Worker One, and Tru are far from that.”
Lin Ye secretly clicked his tongue, deeply understanding the simple-mindedness and kindness of the people of the underworld.
How simple were their wishes compared to the humans outside?
What the hell was this? I saved them out of goodwill and yet all of them still act so arrogant.
If it was someone else, I would have killed them if they dared to spew nonsense.
Of course, if one were to talk about proper worldviews, it would definitely be Lin Ye.
As he gave himself a thumbs-up, he was all smiles. “Lady Adelia, I, Lin Ye, human lord, accept your allegiance.”
With that, he handed over the newly drawn silver tier weapon, Wind Splitting Bow.
