He was only on the second level, while Jiang Yang was already on the fifth.
Was he putting on an act in front of him?
Jiang Yang had originally been about to draw the Black Gold Ancient Blade, but he put it away instead.
Since Ye Fan wanted to act with him, he would compete with him in acting.
"Sure. Did you become a Professional too?"
Jiang Yang wore an innocent expression as he calculated the timing. Once Ye Qingwei and the others saw that the surrounding Zombies had all been lured away, they would probably come out.
Ye Qingwei, Qiu Chan, Wu Lei, Tang Ya... Jiang Yang wondered what Ye Fan would think when he saw them.
Ye Fan had only met Qiu Chan after being reborn, so he probably did not know her yet. At most, Ye Fan, with his memories from before his rebirth, had heard of Qiu Chan's great reputation.
But he definitely knew Wu Lei, Ye Qingwei, and Tang Ya.
I slept with your first love. I slept with the younger sister you painstakingly took care of. And your comrade has now become mine too.
Jiang Yang was looking forward to Ye Fan's expression.
"That's right, Basic Warrior. What about you?"
When Ye Fan heard that Jiang Yang had become a Professional, his heart skipped a beat. But then he remembered that Jiang Yang was merely a rich second-generation playboy who only knew how to fool around with women.
The pressure in his heart immediately lessened.
But Jiang Yang's next words left Ye Fan feeling rather unbalanced.
"I think I got a Hidden Profession. It's also in the warrior class."
Jiang Yang scratched his head and smashed a Level 1 Zombie to the ground with one punch, splattering brain matter everywhere.
"System, there's a reward for killing the Son of the Plane. What about injuring the Son of the Plane?"
Jiang Yang asked the system inwardly. If killing the Son of the Plane earned rewards, then injuring him should earn some too.
Rewards can be obtained, but the damage must be significant and must affect the Son of the Plane's future fate.
Impact his fate?
Jiang Yang looked at Ye Fan. Should I break one of his legs and an arm?
No, what if he accidentally killed him?
He had not taken enough of Ye Fan's benefits yet. Then perhaps he should strike at him mentally instead?
While Jiang Yang was thinking, Ye Fan was also observing him.
How could a useless rich young master possibly obtain a Hidden Profession?
Was the Butterfly Effect really that terrifying?
Ye Fan was utterly baffled. In his previous life, Jiang Yang had been a good-for-nothing young master who looked impressive but was useless. Forget a Hidden Profession—even becoming a Professional had required relying on his family's influence.
And if he had not seen wrongly, the potion Jiang Yang had used just now seemed capable of drawing all the surrounding Zombies away.
That was a Blood Scent Potion!
Damn it, how had he gotten his hands on that thing?
Ye Fan ground his back teeth until they creaked.
What was more agonizing than one's own failure and a friend's success was seeing an enemy live better than oneself!
"Ye Fan, why isn't Tang Ya with you?"
"I only heard about you from Tang Ya. You lucky bastard, you even managed to get the class beauty."
Jiang Yang chose mental provocation, using Tang Ya to needle Ye Fan first.
Sure enough, the moment he said it, Ye Fan's face darkened dramatically. A rush of hot blood surged to his head, and he nearly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.
But angry as he was, Ye Fan remained outwardly calm. With a casual swing of his axe, he cleaved a Zombie so thoroughly dead that it could not have been any deader.
"I don't know. The Apocalypse came too suddenly. I haven't had time to look for her."
"Then you'd better hurry. A woman that good would be in trouble if someone else found her first."
Jiang Yang continued provoking Ye Fan. In the original story, Tang Ya was currently on his bed, demonstrating the eighteen martial arts she had mastered.
But the original owner clearly had not been as charming as he was.
Tang Ya did not seem to have fallen for the original owner.
But now, not only had he gotten Tang Ya's body, that girl's loyalty was quite high as well.
"Heh."
Ye Fan's expression darkened. He wanted nothing more than to act immediately and kill Jiang Yang outright, but he still had uses for him and could not act rashly.
The two quickly slaughtered the surrounding Zombies, while Jiang Yang's filthy remarks grew increasingly excessive. Hatred continued accumulating in Ye Fan's heart.
Yet he never tore away the facade. He acted like a ninja.
At that moment, Jiang Yang looked at the surrounding Zombies. There had been a method to where he had scattered the Blood Scent Potion—he had specifically thrown it at the fast runners so they would lure the Zombies elsewhere.
And now, that Money-Scattering Boy had actually run toward the clothing store.
Wasn't this the perfect opportunity?
Jiang Yang exchanged a glance with Ye Fan, then ran toward the clothing store.
Inside the clothing store, Qiu Chan held a Tang Saber and hid behind the door. Through several gaps, she saw the Money-Scattering Boy running in their direction.
It was short and tiny, carrying a sack on its back as it looked around everywhere.
It was rather cute.
It just had a little too many openings.
Qiu Chan narrowed her eyes. That little creature was practically covered in openings. It was the first time she had encountered a Monster with so many weaknesses that she did not even know where to strike.
"Get ready, everyone! We're making our move!"
Ye Qingwei held a crossbow, green light flickering around her body. At that moment, she caught sight of Jiang Yang and another person out of the corner of her eye.
"Brother Ye Fan!"
Inside the Police Station, Chen Ke spotted a faceless little creature and immediately determined that it was the Money-Scattering Boy. The sack on that Monster's back was simply too conspicuous.
"Everyone, get ready to move!"
Chen Ke shouted. Although he did not know how Jiang Yang had scattered the Zombies outside, even dispersed as they were, there were still quite a few of them.
"Charge!!!"
Chen Ke wore a bulletproof vest and several pieces of protective gear as he sat inside the Police Station. He would not be going out; instead, he remained in the rear and directed the others.
Mo Li frowned. "Everyone else has rushed out. Aren't we going?"
"Teacher Mo, we aren't like those lowly people at the bottom. We shouldn't personally take part in this kind of battle."
Chen Ke looked meaningfully at Mo Li. He believed that his family would certainly organize people to resist the Apocalypse. Even if everything was reshuffled, he still had the capital to thrive in the Apocalypse.
As for Mo Li, she was a leading figure in biopharmaceuticals and a rare beauty as well. She was immensely valuable from every perspective.
Furthermore, the Mo Family was no small family either. There was a reason Chen Ke had encountered Mo Li. If he could win her over, it would greatly benefit his future prospects.
Over at the clothing store, the Money-Scattering Boy had barely arrived when it was startled by a woman who suddenly appeared.
Before it could even let out a scream, a blade stabbed into its body.
One weakness had been struck. A warm current flowed into Qiu Chan's body, and immediately afterward, a golden ball of light flew out of the Money-Scattering Boy's sack.
Qiu Chan's eyes lit up slightly. She leaped up and caught the ball of light. It was an extremely cool-looking Arm Guard.
"What is that?"
The moment Ye Fan saw Qiu Chan, he instantly recalled a legend from the Apocalypse. But before he could think further, he saw a lovely figure he had longed for day and night.
"Qingwei!"
Ye Fan could not help shouting, but the next moment, he froze.
Why was Ye Qingwei here?
Why was her protective suit the same as Jiang Yang's?
And that woman holding the blade just now... she seemed to be the Sword Saintess from his previous life.
While Ye Fan was still bewildered, another figure appeared.
"Wu Lei!"
Ye Fan's eyes widened. Wu Lei, his closest comrade—why was he here?
Shouldn't Wu Lei have been at Linjiang Bridge at this time?
Could this be the Butterfly Effect?
Had it gathered all the people important to him together?
Ye Fan could not help laughing, but at that moment, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Because Tang Ya had appeared too.
