“European Overlord?”

These words came from Adelia.

She looked suspiciously at Zhang Liang before turning to her lord and summarizing what she saw.

The opening battle between the European King’s Heaven Fate and the European Overlord?

Seriously!

Were the talents of the European King so worthless? She felt that the humans this time were not honest.

“Don’t look at me. I’m speaking of the truth.”

Sensing the strange look from Adelia, Lin Ye snorted and gave Zhang Liang a sidelong glance.

He sneered. “With your lousy luck, you dare to call yourself the European Overlord? If you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll use you as an experiment. Do you want to bet on your luck to see if my bullets will miss?”

With that, he took out the Desert Eagle from his Civilization Archive and aimed at Zhang Liang.

At this moment, a ray of sunlight shone through a gap from the shade of the tree onto the pistol. The silver metallic luster reflected a glaring light, making one dizzy.

“No, no, brother!”

Without any hesitation, Zhang Liang surrendered.

He raised both of his hands high and cried, “Dear brother, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have lied to you. I’ll be honest and truthful. My talent is indeed not that of the European Overlord, but an auxiliary talent to find treasures. If you don’t believe me, you can take me out. I’ll help you find treasure chests.”

“From now on, I’ll be your right-hand man, your loyal henchman. If you tell me to go east, I won’t go west!”

His words were 30% true and 70% false. He only told him a portion of his abilities. As for its core function, he consciously concealed it.

It was never a bad thing to leave a card for himself.

“Treasure hunting?”

Lin Ye’s eyes flickered, as if weighing the truth of that statement.

“What’s the range?” he asked again.

“As long as it’s within my territory, I can easily detect the treasure. Outside my territory, it’s probably fixed at a range of 100 meters.”

Zhang Liang shrunk his head and answered honestly.

“Interesting.”

Lin Ye’s interest was piqued. If that was true, then this talent was a perfect match for him.

With this thought in mind, he waved his hand and called Tru over. He casually threw out three sandalwood treasure chests that had yet to be opened.

Originally, he wanted to keep them to open ten or maybe hundred of them consecutively.

But now, he could use it to test this lad’s capabilities.

“Go. Tell your men to hide the chests.”

He glanced at Zhang Liang’s bunker from the corner of his eye. Level 1 Bunker, what a trash.

He added, “Don’t hide them too far away. Somewhere within a thousand meters. If you exceed the range, this kid will find an excuse to cheat again.”

“Yes, my lord. If he says any rubbish, I’ll break his neck.”

Tru glared at Zhang Liang with a fierce expression. Seeing that Zhang Liang’s legs were trembling, he carried the treasure chest and ran out smugly.

A few minutes later, Tru returned.

Lin Ye looked at Zhang Liang. “One chance. Find the three treasure chests that my men hid. If you fail to do so, you know what will happen.”

“Don’t worry, brother. I don’t have any other abilities. I’ll definitely find the treasure chests.”

Zhang Liang’s chest thumped loudly as he brought his fist to his chest and brimmed with confidence.

After he finished speaking, his pitch black eyes scanned the surroundings.

Bzz—

Without shape, there seemed to be some sort of ripple passing through the territory.

The next moment, a notification sounded.

[Friendly Hint: Found three sandalwood treasure chests!]

[Location coordinates: 35 degrees Southeast, 250 meters away. 75 degrees Northwest, 378 meters away.128 degrees Southwest, 560 meters away!]

[Safety Index: S]

“You must be Brother Tru.” Zhang Liang was all smiles.

“Don’t try to get close to me. Who are you calling brother? I might even be younger than you. Tell me the location, or should I bring you there personally?”

Tru kept a straight face, looking businesslike.

“Coughs.” Zhang Liang laughed awkwardly and said, “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I’ve already found it. The location is 35 degrees Southeast, 250 meters away. 75 degrees Northwest, 378 meters away.128 degrees Southwest, 560 meters away. Am I correct or correct!”

Hearing this, Lin Ye raised his eyebrows. Adelia looked at Tru.

“My lord… he seems to have guessed it correctly by chance,” Tru said incredulously.

“He really has a treasure-seeking talent!” Andelia’s eyes lit up.

Wasn’t this equivalent to a treasure hunting rat from ancient times?

This brat’s talent and Lin Ye’s European King’s Heaven Fate was a perfect match.

Her lord was destined for great things.

Lin Ye might really have a chance of being the main character for this season.

On the other side, Lin Ye was also elated.

He still had his suspicions that this kid wasn’t telling the truth, or at least the entire truth.

However, as long as he had this treasure seeking ability, it would be of great help to have him for the time being.

Of course, he couldn’t let this kid get too carried away. He had to oppress him somehow.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye narrowed his eyes at Zhang Liang and said, “Very good, you have successfully passed my test. However, we have a score to settle. You caused me to lose a Silver Treasure Chest, two Bronze Treasure Chests, and more than ten Sandalwood Treasure Chests.”

“You’ll have to get these losses back for me. One less, and you should prepare yourself to spend the night with the zombies.”

“???” Zhang Liang was dumbfounded.

What’s going on? Since when did I owe you anything? That was clearly something I stole with my life on the line.

“You seem to have a problem with my decision.”

Lin Ye looked over expressionlessly. At the same time, he patted the silver Desert Eagle in his hand.

“I don’t.”

Zhang Liang was exasperated.

He was really unlucky to have met such an overbearing lord.

Fortunately, his talent did not lie to him. As long as he surrendered, he would live.

He had long forgotten about stuff like becoming his right-hand man.

If he did not have any awakened talent, he would be more than happy to join Lin Ye.

But now, humph…

What was he being arrogant about? You’re just bullying me because I started a day late. Otherwise, I would also have the potential to become an overlord.

I shall settle with this and work for him for a while. When the zombie wave comes seven days later, I’ll take the opportunity to escape.

In the olden days, there was a saying that went, ‘retreat strategically for a better day’. Today, Zhang Liang will be doing that.

As expected, I still have the bearing of a great emperor.

He was thinking wonderful thoughts, but the next moment, Lin Ye’s words made him shiver again.

“Adelia, bring 50 light-armored shield soldiers and 50 rangers to look after him personally. The time limit is tomorrow afternoon. If he dares to play tricks, or if he flees during the chaos, shoot him down immediately even if we are all wiped out!”

[Friendly Hint: Betrayal and spying will result in a 100% death rate!]

A timely red warning sounded.

Zhang Liang’s face turned green.

Seriously!

“Rest assured, my lord. Mortals will die as long as they are within a thousand meters of my arrows!”

As she spoke, Adelia stood up abruptly and grabbed her fish stripe bow.

She drew the bow, imbued it with wind element, and shot the arrow in one go!

Gasp!

The air hummed as a sky-blue arrow flew past Zhang Liang’s ear.

A moment later, the tree hundreds of meters away was blasted through.

“Screech—”

Zhang Liang’s eyes widened as he sucked in a breath of cold air.

In the previous battle, he had seen Adelia kill a Level 2 Swift Zombie with a wind elemental arrow.

At that time, the other party’s target was a zombie. He was shocked by the mysterious energy of the other world, but he didn’t really understand it.

But at this moment, the entire world seemed to be engulfed in the light of that arrow.

If it weren’t for the fact that the other party didn’t have any intention to kill him, it would have pierced through his forehead.

In just a few seconds, his back was drenched with sweat.

Terrifying!
