Chapter 105: 'Yellow Spring' Takes Shape! (Part 1)
PS: Thank you readers 'Ice Seal Prophecy' 'dxlbob' 'Wind Wanderer' 'Office Fantasy Tribe' for the 100 rewards, thank you reader 'mama1234' for the 588 rewards, thanks to the five of them. By the way, happy New Year's Day to everyone!!!...... After subduing the second batch of 53 variant humans, Lin Xiao's subordinate variant human number has reached 90 people, including 87 level 2 variant humans with an average combat power of 36 points, and 3 level 3 variant humans with combat powers of 54, 53, and 57 respectively.
There are now 100 2nd-level or higher variant humans within the target of the second task, only 10 away. Once this task is completed, Lin Xiao's combat power will once again make a rapid breakthrough, and at that time, even relying solely on mental strength, he can easily subdue those 3rd-level variant humans with combat powers below 60.
Of course, while busy building his own power, Lin Xiao did not forget to practice every day, and the ten hours of practice that could not be shaken by thunder were carried out every day.
The yuanqi density of this 2nd-level Small Thousand World is far higher than that of a 1st-level Small Thousand World, and it's still a world between the 2nd and 3rd levels. The yuanqi density greatly exceeds that of an ordinary 2nd-level Small Thousand World. Cultivating here, Lin Xiao can easily complete his daily cultivation task of 36 cycles in just over 9 hours.
This also made his cultivation reach the peak of a second-class third-stage martial artist in just two short weeks, only one step away from breaking through to become a third-class first-stage martial artist.
As he watched the number of variants under his control approach the task's standard line, Lin Xiao also accelerated his efforts to subdue other variants. At present, most of the 2nd-level variants in Los Angeles are already under his command, and some remaining 2nd-level variants may be hiding too secretly, making them difficult to find. Some variants' abilities are easier to hide, they might still be living ordinary lives, pretending to be ordinary people every day, so Lin Xiao and his team found it hard to locate these individuals.
Even so, Lin Xiao and his team spent nearly ten days finding eleven variant people to join them. With the addition of these eleven variant people, it also means that Lin Xiao's second task is finally completed.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, after taking in the last two variant humans he found, Lin Xiao's mind immediately rang with the system's unique prompt sound.
Ding!
"Congratulations, host, on completing the task 'Forming a Force'. The number of variants under your command has exceeded one hundred. Would you like to receive the task reward immediately?"
Lin Xiao smiled and instructed a few subordinates to handle matters while silently selecting 'claim immediately' in his heart.
The next moment, a blue light beam that only Lin Xiao himself could see suddenly descended from the sky and enveloped him entirely.
This was Lin Xiao's second time seeing this beam of light, and he had already become accustomed to it. The first time he saw it, he was quite surprised, after all, this was the first time he used the system to upgrade his ability level, and the previous upgrades didn't have such a commotion, so it was natural for him to feel curious.
The blue beam lasted for a full half minute before vanishing instantly, its speed so fast that it was enough to make people think what they saw earlier was just an illusion.
However, Lin Xiao knew that it was absolutely not an illusion, because he could really feel the increase in his mental power, a half-level growth, which directly raised his mental power from 51 points of combat strength to 56 points of combat strength. The physical combat strength, which had broken through six days ago, also rose from 31.5 to 36.5, and his cultivation reached the peak of a third-class second-stage martial artist in the blink of an eye.
"With this, subjugating those stronger 3rd-tier variant humans will become even easier." Lin Xiao thought to himself with unparalleled joy.
After being strengthened, Lin Xiao sat on the edge of the bed. He was now living in a house in Los Angeles that belonged to one of his subordinates who was a variant. This subordinate's family had considerable assets, but unfortunately, because he had awakened his heterogeneity five years ago, he was abandoned by his parents and sent to Los Angeles. Apart from giving him a house and a large sum of money, they never came to see him again.
This place has also become a temporary base for Lin Xiao and his forces. Whenever there is something that needs to be discussed, Lin Xiao will have them gather here.
"Now that all the variants above level 2 in Los Angeles have almost all come under my command, it's time to leave and head elsewhere." Lin Xiao thought about his next move with his hands propped against the bedside.
Los Angeles is no longer necessary to stay, and New York as the center of Magneto and Professor X's activities, Lin Xiao also dares not go there to implement his own plan, before his wings are full, he needs to avoid the limelight.
"So next I'll head to San Diego, and after taking care of the mutants there, I'll go to Mexico City, then Tucson, and keep heading east. By the time I get back to New York in half a year, my team should be strong enough to take on Magneto or Professor X."
Lin Xiao also knew that his strength was far from being a match for those two 4th-level Variants, so he now needed a large number of hands to increase his weight. Sometimes, ants could even bite an elephant to death, let alone the fact that the weakness of the Magnetic King was very obvious - as long as there was no metal, he was nothing. On the other hand, Professor X was extremely difficult to deal with, but Lin Xiao had never thought of being an enemy of the professor from the start, so there was no need to worry too much.
"Strength! After all, it's still my own strength that's not enough. In the past six months, I not only need to solidify my foundation but also increase my strength. There's nothing left to gain from task rewards, and the remaining two tasks can't be completed in a short period of time. So, I'll just have to rely on my own efforts!"
Lin Xiao had already made a complete plan for the next six months, clenching his fists tightly. The next step was just to wait for him to start implementing it.
Afternoon.
Lin Xiao ordered his subordinate 'Di Gui' (a 3rd-level variant who controlled rocks and mud) to gather all of his men at the villa. He needed to tell them part of his plan, paint a grand picture for them, and give them some motivation.
Of course, to make his subordinates listen, it's not enough to just paint a pie, they also need to be given some actual benefits. So Lin Xiao decided that in the next six months, he would occasionally need to take a few actions against human society, and tell these subordinates that he was not just talking nonsense.
Of course, the most important thing is still one's own strength. Only when one's strength is strong enough can it give these subordinates sufficient deterrent power.
It was already past 3 pm when all the Variants under his command arrived at the villa.
In the basement of a renovated villa, there is a huge conference table, and many chairs are placed around the basement.
There were only thirteen seats on the conference table, and naturally, Lin Xiao took the first seat. The other twelve seats consisted of three 3rd-level variant humans and nine 2nd-level variant humans who were chosen by Lin Xiao to be team leaders, each leading a group of 2nd-level variant humans. The three 3rd-level variant humans managed three teams of 2nd-level variant humans.
As the number of people under his command increases in the future, there will still be some changes in positions. Perhaps when Lin Xiao's strength is strong enough, he will need to recruit some powerful 4th-level variant humans. At that time, 3rd-level variant humans can only retreat behind them.
