Chapter 57: Day 7 Settlement, He Mouth Twists!
Chapter 58, Section 57: On the seventh day of settlement, his mouth twisted!
A semi-transparent panel and a notification sound appeared simultaneously in front of Su Chen and the two women next to him.
As the settlement was about to be made, Lin Yu glared fiercely at Su Chen, her back teeth almost grinding to powder.
As the warning sounded, a strange rumbling noise suddenly came from the wall of the residential area not far away.
Su Chen looked up.
The previously dilapidated and defenseless wall, riddled with holes, gradually became bathed in light, accompanied by a notification sound. Then, the sturdy blue bricks rapidly reassembled themselves like blocks of Tetris!
Before anyone could react, the wall suddenly seemed to have been moved further away, and the buildings that were originally very close to the wall suddenly became separated.
Several surprised voices came from inside the walled area.
"Holy crap, has the neighborhood gotten bigger? It feels like it's a whole ring wider than before! Look, hasn't the wall moved?"
"It's true! I remember that before, Building 1 was only a dozen meters away from the wall, but now it's several steps further away. Our community has really gotten bigger! This is unbelievable!"
"Captain Chen! Look! The rewards this time are amazing! The wall repaired itself automatically, and it looks even sturdier than before! And for some reason, the neighborhood has suddenly gotten so much bigger—"
Captain Chen interrupted the man, urging, "Stop talking nonsense, I saw it too, quickly check the property management computer!"
"More! More! Our community has four more public building cards!" A man holding up the property management computer shouted excitedly to Captain Chen, "Captain Chen, there's more good news."
"explain!"
Captain Chen grinned, unable to hide his smile.
"Look here!"
The man turned the computer screen around, and Captain Chen could see it clearly:
[Notice Board of Xingfu Community]
[Number of residents in the community: 2714]
Electricity balance: 4733 public survival points
Water balance: 7242 public survival points
Gas balance: 7098 public survival points
The community's defense has been damaged, and the value has decreased. It is currently at medium defense (32.73%, under rapid repair).
"Great! Old Lin! These resources are enough for us for more than five days!" Captain Chen's eyes lit up, and he didn't even bother to count how many residents had died this time.
The constant notifications of rewards are enough to excite people.
At the same time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the monster disappear and heard the notification sound.
"Waaah—it was so scary, but it's finally over—it's finally over—" A young woman's legs gave way and she sat down on the ground, bowing her head and crying.
Outside the wall, Su Chen heard a series of prompts:
[Day 7 ended, with 2714 residents surviving in Happiness Community, earning 46050 public survival points.]

【————】
"Got it!" Su Chen's eyes lit up, and he was secretly excited.
After all this hard work and effort, including sacrificing some useful weapons, if I still can't get the best reward, then it's truly outrageous!
The two women beside him stared coldly at Su Chen, who stood motionless at a distance.
Lin Yu knew in her heart that this man was hiding something. He looked like he was checking settlement information now, but he might still be up to something bad.
She went through so much trouble, and finally got a white treasure chest.
creak creak—
Lin Yu clenched his teeth so hard they made a loud noise.
"My child—your father should be like this—a man as powerful as him—" The young woman licked her lips, casually flicked her wrist to wipe away the bloodstains on her halberd, and then turned and left without looking back.
Seeing the woman who had knocked on the door leave, Lin Yu called out to Su Chen, who was still standing there, from a distance, "Hey! Aren't you going back?"
"Tch, the siege is over and they're still so wary of me—"
Seeing that Su Chen was ignoring her, Lin Yu muttered a few words and pressed a spot on her chest.
After a while, the glowing patterns on her limbs dimmed slightly and became less noticeable than before.
She carefully put away the knife and walked unhappily toward the wall.
"Damn it, where can I find a genuine monster?"
Su Chen stood there, his hands unconsciously clenching and unclenching, a fine layer of sweat seeping from his palms, even the hem of his trousers was soaked and darkened in color.
Because at this moment, a semi-transparent window was floating before his eyes:
[Beginner Witcher]: 100/100
Job Advancement: Fuse with a pure monster.
Experience is easy to say. He killed so many monsters on the wall before, plus the experience given by "Jiahao", his experience is definitely overflowing now.
The only problem is that the requirements for career advancement are a bit difficult to meet.
There's no shortage of monsters; in fact, he currently has a Chimera monster with a danger level of 5 by his side.
But he dared not.
The state of "Jiahao" was clearly the result of the original chimera monster having fused with several different monsters. Putting aside whether it met the requirements for a "pure" monster, Su Chen even suspected that this kind of chimera that devoured multiple monsters did not meet the requirements for advancement.
Moreover, the demon hunter in the Demon Hunter's Hut was definitely a higher level than Su Chen is now.
The last demon hunter mutated after eating the flesh of monsters tainted with blood and flesh curses. If Su Chen were to directly fuse with "Jiahao" beside him to advance, the mutation speed would only be faster.
This is absolutely a dangerous operation; one wrong move and you could become the next "Jiahao".
How do you advance in the Witcher class?
Where can we find pure monsters?
Su Chen's head ached from thinking, and he slowly walked towards the inside of the wall.
Inside the wall, Captain Chen's emotions had calmed down somewhat, and he was leading the temporary management team to clean up the remains and blood along the wall.
Upon seeing Su Chen return, Captain Chen quickly led several people around him to greet him.
After chatting for a few minutes, Su Chen clearly said something to Captain Chen, who was leading the group, but not long after, he carried that conspicuous tattered wardrobe back to his own building.
Only Captain Chen and a few members of the temporary management team remained, looking at each other blankly, as if they had something to say but couldn't.
Lin Yu gave Su Chen a deep look and noticed that in the tattered wardrobe he was carrying, a Gatling gun and other metal objects were clanging and making a crisp sound.
Watching Su Chen go upstairs, Lin Yu frowned and walked towards the group of people.
Captain Chen and the other members of the temporary team were visibly taken aback when they saw Lin Yu approaching.
"Captain Chen, what's wrong?" Lin Yu approached and asked directly.
"Oh, what could possibly be wrong!"
"We all saw how fierce that young man was just now. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have won this siege so easily. We chatted with him for a bit, and he said he was too tired and went back first." Captain Chen replied casually, looking a little embarrassed.
"What's up with you?" Captain Chen asked with a smile, looking at Lin Yu, who had a high ponytail and a capable figure.
This woman is no ordinary person; he had seen her clearly from the wall earlier. Glowing patterns appeared on her body, and her speed and strength far surpassed that of ordinary people. She also possessed a small, glowing knife with astonishing power!
"Speak plainly, don't beat around the bush," Lin Yu frowned.
She didn't believe that explanation. Captain Chen and those old guys had been whispering with Su Chen for a long time, and their expressions changed after they finished speaking. It seemed like there was more to it than that.
"Oh dear, that's a bit harsh of you!" Captain Chen's expression became even more awkward, and he quickly tried to smooth things over, but remembering that Lin Yu's performance earlier was also quite remarkable, he could only say with a bitter face, "Little girl, to be honest with you..."
"This siege really opened the eyes of us old guys. If it weren't for you and that young man earlier, we don't know what would have happened to the rest of the neighborhood! A lot more people would probably have died!"
After speaking, Captain Chen looked bitter and lowered his head sadly. Several men from the temporary team next to him nodded in agreement.
"But you didn't have to make that face just now, did you?" Lin Yu coldly glanced at the group of people.
Their expressions were so strange just now, it was hard not to notice.
"Oh! That's not true!"
"We were thinking, that young man is so capable, maybe we can say something or offer something to get him into the temporary management team. That way, the other residents in the community will feel more at ease!"
"and then?"
"Ugh—don't even mention it!"
"The young man said he needs to think about it!"
"But you don't need to make that face, do you?" Lin Yu still looked unconvinced.
"We also asked that young man why he was so good, and if he could teach us something useful, any methods or life-saving tips would be fine. He did share a lot of useful information."

"only----"
"But what?" Lin Yu pressed.
Thinking about what he was about to say, Captain Chen's expression became even more awkward. He glanced at the other members of the temporary team beside him and said, "I asked that young man why he was so good, and he said he was just naturally that good!"
"They even said he was some kind of war god of the Dragon Kingdom before he transmigrated, and also had a side job—wait, what was it again?"
"It seems to be the Dragon King's Palace—no—I can't quite remember."
"What did that young man say he did part-time again?" Even Captain Chen himself was a little skeptical when he heard that tongue-twisting term.
"Part-time Dragon King of the Dragon King Palace." The other man had an equally strange expression, opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.
Lin Yu: "?"
Seeing Lin Yu's disbelief, another man added, "He really said that! And he even made a crooked face!"
"Captain Chen, you might not have noticed, but there was an unconscious curve to the corner of his mouth at that time."
'
""
Lin Yu took a deep breath, speechless at these replies.
Is he trying to hide the fact that he is a survivor?
Or was it just something I made up to amuse these people?
Frowning, Lin Yu considered several possibilities, but still couldn't help but twitch her lips.
According to Captain Chen and the others' description, even if Su Chen was trying to conceal information, his statement just now was still rather...
That's so undignified.
at the same time.
As soon as Su Chen got home, he put down the old wardrobe and saw the large treasure chest on the floor. Without even taking a closer look, he pounced on it.
"This box! The workmanship!"
"And look at these exquisite patterns! My red-tasseled spear and dagger were definitely worth the effort!"
He used both his hands and feet to grab the treasure chest.
Its warm, luxurious texture felt incredibly comfortable to the touch. Su Chen muttered to himself as he pressed his face against the chest and gently rubbed it against it.
