Chapter 279: This Is Mankind’s Territory!

“What did you say? Lin Yao gave you guys seven more places?”

The voice of Yin Yin’s mother sounded somewhat high-pitched, but none of the Yin Family members in the room found it unpleasant. To them, it was heavenly.

The woman who hadn’t managed to draw a lot immediately stopped crying. Everyone’s eyes were shining as they stared at Yin Yin’s mother, their hearts feeling like they were on a roller coaster.

The same was true for the men of the Yin Family in the room. Their children’s lives were at stake, and none of them wanted their children to die.

Yin Yin’s mother didn’t have the energy to care about everyone’s gazes. Instead, she reprimanded her daughter immediately, “Did you plead with Lin Yao? Don’t do that. No matter how good your relationship is, he will be annoyed if you keep asking for things. Both of you are already bound to Lin Yao for life, and you guys will be happy only if he cares about you.”

These words made the sobbing women anxious. However, despite opening their mouths, no one dared to utter a word. Even though the quota had been given to the Yin Family, Yin Yin’s mother was the one who had the right to allocate the places.

If they were to dissuade her, they could forget about getting a share of the quota.

Therefore, even though they were anxious, they could only watch on.

Thankfully, Lin Yao had refused to let the two ladies reject the places. In that case, Yin Yin’s mother naturally would not decline. In the end, she accepted the places.

In order to convince her mother and ease her worry, Yin Yin even told her what was happening in Shanghai.

“Don’t worry, Mother. I tried to decline, but Ah Yao wouldn’t let us. Besides, it’s not that difficult for him to earn points. He is already nicknamed ‘Blue Flash’ in Shanghai and can earn 5,000 to 6,000 points in a few minutes…”

There were many people with sharp hearing in this place. Although the speaker of the phone was not switched on, everyone heard Yin Yin’s words.

“Blue Flash? He can complete a mission in one minute? He can earn 5,000 to 6,000 points?”

All the onlookers thought they were listening to someone talk in her dreams.

Many people had taken part in the battle last night and earned some points after the chaos. Despite being powerhouses, they would count themselves lucky if they could obtain 2,000 to 3,000 points after an all-out effort. In their opinion, it was impossible to get 5,000 to 6,000 points in a few minutes. When they found out that Lin Yao was just a teenager, they found this even more impossible.

“She must be dreaming.”

“There is no need to exaggerate so much even if she worships him.”

This was what everyone thought, and Yin Yin’s mother was even prepared to chide her.

However, some people soon accessed the local forums of Shanghai via the Internet and saw the news posted by the people in Shanghai.

“It’s true.”

“More than one person said Blue Flash has appeared in Shanghai.”

“There’s a photo here. Is he Lin Yao, the one the twins of the Yin Family are with?”

“I’ve seen Lin Yao in Ninghai City before. Let me take a look… Yes, it’s true!”

“He is able to find a hidden monster in less than a minute. Ss… These monsters can earn him many points. Since Lin Yao is very young, he will get double the points. It’s true that he can earn enough points to redeem one place in just a few minutes!”

“He’s really amazing. His point-earning speed is faster than that of a gold warlord!”

Gradually, everyone in the room learned how fast Lin Yao could earn points. While they were stunned, they were also looking at the Yin Family with scorching gazes.

‘Your family… is damn lucky!’

‘Scoundrel… Why didn’t he choose my family’s girl?’

‘Twins. Does that genius like that kind of style?’

…

Of course, these sly old foxes would not voice their thoughts. On the surface, they congratulated the Yin Family, but behind the family’s backs, they were prepared to steal Lin Yao.

As for the Yin Family, everyone, including all the women with children, heaved a sigh of relief.

Although there were only seven places this time, which were not enough for everyone, their eyes also shone when they discovered how fast Lin Yao could earn points. They were fawning over Yin Yin’s mother affectionately now.

‘Since he is able to earn points like that, even if we don’t have enough quota now, there may be more in the future.’

‘In order to get more points and places, it is important to prioritize Lin Yao’s thoughts. Perhaps I can teach those two nieces of mine how to serve people.’

…

Almost instantly, everyone had become envious of the Yin Family.

They could not be blamed for this. Even a gold warlord was not as fast as Lin Yao at earning points. How could the Yin Family, who had benefited from Lin Yao, not be envied by others?

The Qin Family and the Yan Family in Ninghai City were also envied, as the two families had also benefited.

Of course, simultaneously, Lin Yao had given his parents many places while giving this quota to the ladies.

By using points in exchange for places in the safety zone, Lin Yao could ensure the safety of his family as well as that of the ladies. Both Tianhai City and Ninghai City would not suffer a loss either. Especially in Tianhai City, seven places would be the equivalent of 35,000 points, which would be enough to be exchanged for the time of a gold warlord guarding the city. This could alleviate the pressure on the city’s defending troops.

Although the families were relieved, all the pressure was on Lin Yao.

‘Thankfully, I am capable of withstanding this.’

At the moment, Lin Yao was no longer searching for beasts at the silver warlord level. It was not because he didn’t want to, but because there were none left.

Shanghai was huge. After the Spirit Energy Revival, this place could accommodate hundreds of millions of people. If he had to cover the entire Shanghai in one go, Lin Yao would need to fly for several hours.

Although countless monsters had barged into the huge city of Shanghai, there were many powerhouses in this place. In addition to the powerhouses of the authorities, there were also countless martial arts experts amongst civilians.

Most of the powerhouses in Shanghai had already rushed to the wild. Nevertheless, the remaining ones were strong enough to maintain the peace in the city. Although many beasts had invaded Shanghai, there were not as many surviving beasts as Lin Yao thought. Of course, it might also be because Lin Yao was too fast at searching.

In just three hours, Lin Yao had found all the hiding silver-level beasts.

Despite this, Lin Yao did not idle. Protected by and situated inside the Golden Warlion, Lin Yao began to search for gold-level beasts.

This search was not that much harder than the former one.

Although gold beasts were stronger than silver beasts and had more outstanding abilities, they could only conceal their aura, not their malicious intent toward humans.

On the other hand, as they were more powerful, their malice was more intense and Lin Yao was able to sense them from afar.

‘Unless you enter a state of thoughtlessness, you can’t hide the malice for humans in your subconscious. In a place like Shanghai, where human powerhouses are everywhere, would you guys dare let your consciousness fall into a deep slumber?’

Of course, they wouldn’t dare do that. As a result, a raging malice surged into Lin Yao’s sense of perception from afar.

Boom!

Psst.

After the sound of an air explosion, a tungsten alloy pellet instantly whizzed out a beam of electric light and shot into the distance.

As the hidden beasts didn’t dare act rashly, Lin Yao’s Super Electromagnetic Gun hardly failed. The situation was the same this time. The Super Electromagnetic Gun, which was several times faster than sound, struck a sports car from a distance and perforated the fuel tank inside it.

However, unlike silver warlords, gold warlords would not explode with a shot of the Super Electromagnetic Gun. When the sports car exploded, a small black snake rushed out and expanded rapidly.

As it expanded, it also rushed toward Lin Yao.

This was a beast that had reached the peak gold level and was much stronger than the Golden Warlion. As the cold, vertical pupils of the snake started at him, Lin Yao’s heart jolted. This made him realize even if he and the Golden Warlion joined forces, they would be no match for the black snake.

Nevertheless, Lin Yao didn’t feel a trace of fear. He watched on as the beast charged over at him. Not only did he not escape, but he also held up his two hands to show his contempt while he was in the Golden Warlion’s body.

He had the courage to do this because while the small black snake was expanding, the aura of several gold warlords was already surrounding it from all sides.

At the sight of the besieged small black snake, a grin appeared on Lin Yao’s face.

“Little snake, remember this. This is the territory of humans!”
