CHAPTER 40: CHAPTER 40 THREE PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES

Inside the Shelter.

Xiaochuan sat in front of the computer, eyes fixed on the screen.

The fact proved that the persistence level of this mutant zombie was beyond imagination.

Through the camera, it could be seen that it spent a full three hours searching the area.

After finding nothing, it didn’t choose to leave; instead, it found a hidden spot to ambush and wait.

Until the afternoon, distant gunshots could be heard faintly, and it then leapt out of the window, rushing toward the source of the sound.

"It seems they are getting smarter." At this moment, Lin Yi finished watching the recording, looking serious as he turned to the old Mark beside him: "Professor, what do you think?"

"They are evolving, and I can’t predict how powerful and intelligent they will become soon..." Professor Curie said with a trace of worry in his tone.

Back at the Louvre, he devoted himself to studying the Professionals and Zombies and even attempted to develop a vaccine, but all efforts ended in failure.

"If you want to observe the zombies up close, you can wait for me at the Shelter, and let Xiaochuan help you." Lin Yi patted the professor’s shoulder, comforting him.

After the conversation ended, Lin Yi prepared to continue helping the staff become Professionals.

The medium-sized fields were all planted, and everyone started to relax.

The girls gathered to chat, Da Chuan played on his mobile, while Louis was repairing a motorcycle...

Lin Yi still followed the old method, "successfully" making three girls into Professionals.

Despite continuous twists and unexpected situations during the process.

Sylvie, the sweet red-haired girl, gained the "Weapon Smith" skill.

This skill was very practical, not only could it repair System Weapons, but it could also make two Arrows at the cost of only 1 magic point.

Annie wasn’t so lucky; she didn’t get any special rewards, only some Attribute enhancements.

She was always full of Vitality and enthusiastic, but when she saw zombies, she was paralyzed with fear.

Among the three, her performance in killing zombies was the most difficult.

Lastly, there was Natasha, a little cutie who was only 1.5 meters tall and appeared very fragile.

But surprisingly, compared to others, she was more composed in front of zombies.

However, due to her small strength, she took a full half an hour to grind down a zombie with great difficulty.

Fortunately, she had some luck, gaining the "Lightning Technique" skill capable of releasing small charges.

During the process of helping the girls advance, Lin Yi had to constantly pay attention to the surrounding situation, promptly clearing the Zombies that surged in.

After all the busywork, he was only a few Experience Points away from level 6, and the Shelter was also nearing level 8.

The sky gradually darkened.

Lin Yi was too exhausted to take any more risks outside, so after dinner, he relaxed in a hammock, pulling out a tablet to unwind.

However, Sylvie’s excited shout interrupted his leisure time.

Reluctantly, Lin Yi shifted his gaze from the tablet and asked, "What is it?"

"I’ve repaired all your equipment." Sylvie said with pride on her face, her red hair fluttering.

After speaking, she carefully climbed onto the hammock, squeezing in beside Lin Yi, sitting down and grinning foolishly.

Amused by her adorable antics, Lin Yi said, "How come you’re so lively? After using so much Magic Power, you should be exhausted, right?"

"Actually, I can barely stand, but the adrenaline rush keeps me full of Vitality!" Sylvie replied playfully.

This girl!

Lin Yi remembered when he first met her, she was tough as an Iron Lady, preferring hard labor over selling her body.

Now, seeing her with this silly demeanor, it was apparent she had found a sense of belonging in the Shelter.

"Hey, don’t lie down." Lin Yi supported the girl’s back with his hand, "Quick, tell me what you’ve come for."

"Hmph!" Sylvie pouted high, seeing Lin Yi’s unaffected demeanor, all her enthusiasm vanished instantly.

But after thinking it over, she proudly said, "I gain Experience Points from repairing equipment and crafting Arrows, so now—I’m at level 2!"

"Oh? Congratulations! When you reach level 5, you will get a Skill Point, then your Skills should undergo a qualitative change..."

Lin Yi said, refocusing on the tablet, truly worn out from the day.

He felt others’ advancement paths might need to be postponed, as the process was much more challenging than he anticipated.

Suddenly, Lin Yi sensed something was wrong with the atmosphere. Looking up, he saw Sylvie glaring at him with puffed cheeks.

Lin Yi laughed, "Alright, go rest, we need to harvest the crops tomorrow..."

"Boss! Do you think people would be willing to pay to have their System Equipment repaired?" Sylvie asked tentatively.

Lin Yi’s eyes lit up, and he immediately perked up.

Sylvie continued, "Or could I repair second-hand Professional weapons and sell them as new?"

By this time, Lin Yi was already fully sitting up!

At first, because he was too tired, he didn’t realize that Sylvie’s skill was a gold mine!

Oh right, there’s also Natasha!

Doesn’t she have "Lightning Skills"?

If we use her as a power station...

The more Lin Yi thought about it, the more excited he got, even beginning to contemplate free electricity. He didn’t even notice when Sylvie left.

This state continued until late at night when he gradually calmed down.

The next day, during breakfast.

Lin Yi suddenly announced plans to expand the Shelter.

He looked at everyone: "In addition, we need to recruit some Warriors and experts."

"Then what about us, are we worthless?" Annie jumped up from her seat.

"Pretty much. Can you help me solve the Zombies? Can you keep watch during transactions? Can you brew beer? Or are you going to help me have a baby?"

Annie said with some defiance, mumbling, "Always drinking, one day it will kill you..."

At this moment, she had a bit of a nagging wife vibe.

"I also plan to buy beer, you know, I don’t intend to spend the rest of my life in Paris." Lin Yi smiled, with a bright look in his eyes.

He planned to embark on an exciting global journey in this world filled with romance and crisis.

After circling the globe, return to his hometown!

Lin Yi looked at them and unveiled the plan: "We need some professionals, sell food and beer along the way, and even some livestock like chickens, ducks, geese, cows..."

"I want to raise pigs! I raised them when I was little!" Orianna shouted excitedly: "They were very cute, not picky, and easy to take care of—"

"Alright!" Lin Yi directly promised her: "If we find pigs, you’ll be in charge of raising them!"

Orianna was taken aback, feeling something was off, but she still nodded seriously.

After breakfast, Lin Yi sat at the notebook computer.

Started expanding the Shelter...
