Rewarding Tang Ya

Jiang Yang's eyes lit up. In the original novel, Ye Fan had obtained this Team Glory from the Money-Scattering Boy, and it had helped his team overcome many difficult trials.

Items that provided team-wide buffs were generally extremely valuable. A buff for one person might not change much, but a buff for an entire team could raise their overall strength to a terrifying degree.

Jiang Yang picked up the Team Glory. It was shaped like a small shield.

As his consciousness entered it, Jiang Yang's vision darkened. Then clusters of light appeared around Ye Qingwei and the others.

"Looks like this is how teammates are confirmed."

Jiang Yang bound Ye Qingwei and the others with his consciousness. He immediately felt somewhat fatigued, as though part of his mental energy had been drawn away. At the same time, pale yellow protective barriers appeared around Ye Qingwei and the others.

"What is this?"

"That's amazing!"

Everyone exclaimed and reached out to touch the pale yellow barrier covering their bodies.

Qiu Chan gripped her Tang Saber and looked at everyone. Though it was called a barrier, it was really just a thin pale yellow film covering their bodies. In Qiu Chan's eyes, everyone now had far fewer openings.

But they were not entirely gone. They had merely shifted to different locations from before. Could those be the weak points of the barrier?

Plundered the Son of the Plane's item.

Obtained Spirit Light Cloak.

System Space expanded by ten square meters.

The System suddenly issued a notification. Since Team Glory had originally been obtained by Ye Fan, it counted as something Jiang Yang had plundered.

But wasn't a single reward a little stingy?

"System, this Money-Scattering Boy was also one of Ye Fan's opportunities. I got so many treasures from him—shouldn't all of them count as things I plundered?"

Jiang Yang remembered that Ye Fan had obtained three treasures from the Money-Scattering Boy in the original novel, though only Team Glory was the same.

Only Team Glory was obtained by the Son of the Plane. The other items do not count.

"Then Ye Fan got three treasures in the original novel, but now there's only one bracelet left. Since this caused the Son of the Plane a loss, shouldn't there be a reward for that too?"

Jiang Yang had realized that as long as something involved the Son of the Plane, he could basically receive a reward.

This time, the System did not respond immediately, so Jiang Yang turned his attention to the next treasure.

Madman Blind Box.

This was a functional item, essentially a trap. After binding it to its owner, it could be placed on the ground and switched into invisibility mode.

Once someone entered the blind box's attack range, their entire body would stiffen, and they would be attacked by the blind box.

It had a cooldown, though. Only three could be placed each day.

The final weapon was the Invisible Dagger.

The user could blend into the surrounding environment for a short time. The dagger possessed extremely high piercing power and was the preferred choice for assassin-type Professionals.

There were four treasures in total. Jiang Yang looked over the people present.

He gave the Support Battle Flag to Ye Qingwei, the Madman Blind Box to Li Shun, the Golden Cloak to Wu Lei, and the Invisible Dagger to Xiao Wan.

The final item, the System-rewarded Spirit Light Cloak, went to Qiu Chan.

A System Product was always top-quality.

The Spirit Light Cloak was a C+-grade piece of defensive equipment. It could increase movement speed and agility, making it perfectly suited for Qiu Chan, who needed to exploit openings in battle.

Zhang Yao and Tang Ya did not receive any items, but neither of them showed any displeasure. Their roles in the team were minor. Being able to survive was already good enough; they did not ask for anything more.

After distributing the treasures, Jiang Yang told everyone to get some sleep. Tomorrow, they would set off for the Apocalypse Store.

"Qingwei, go get some sleep first."

Jiang Yang gently kissed Ye Qingwei on the forehead. She looked somewhat tired, but she still held his hand. "Brother, aren't you going to sleep?"

"No. I'm going to gather some materials."

A gleam flashed through Jiang Yang's eyes. "A huge number of Zombies died today. If we don't harvest the valuable parts from their bodies, we'll just be letting someone else take them."

As soon as he said this, Wu Lei and the others also expressed their desire to go with him. Jiang Yang merely waved them off, telling them to rest well for tomorrow's trip to the Apocalypse Store.

"I don't need rest. I'll go with you."

Qiu Chan's gaze burned brightly. There were still many Zombies outside, and if she had a chance to be alone with Jiang Yang, he could give her some pointers.

"No, you need rest!"

Jiang Yang frowned. It was not yet time to be alone with Qiu Chan. Besides collecting Zombie materials, he had other things to do.

With that thought, Jiang Yang secretly glanced at Tang Ya. She immediately understood.

Qiu Chan could not persuade Jiang Yang and could only return to rest. The others also gave up, leaving only Xiao Wan to cast Jiang Yang a meaningful look. Did she not know her young master's temperament?

In the middle of the night, Jiang Yang went alone into the streets to gather materials from the Zombies he had killed during the day. At the same time, he replayed his battle with Ye Fan in his mind over and over.

Although Jiang Yang had held the overwhelming advantage in his fight against Ye Fan, it was only because of his equipment. If they had been at the same level, he would not have stood a chance at all.

Seven years of Apocalypse experience still counted for something.

Thinking that, Jiang Yang collected some materials, then looked toward several Zombies swaying aimlessly beneath the moonlight. He drew his blade and charged straight at them.

He needed to hone his combat skills as well.

About four hours later, Jiang Yang returned to the hotel. He casually entered a guest room, smashed the bathroom faucet, rinsed himself clean, then climbed in through the window to Tang Ya's room.

After all, she was the first woman he had been with since coming to this world. How could he not take better care of her?

Besides, he had injected the Captain America Serum and inherited the Dragon Totem. Tang Ya would surely feel the difference, wouldn't she?

A wicked grin appeared on Jiang Yang's face, while Tang Ya had already changed into clean clothes and was waiting in her room.

In a dark, damp corner.

Ye Fan leaned against the wall, reeking of alcohol.

"Damn Butterfly Effect!"

"Qingwei is mine!"

"Jiang Yang and Tang Ya, those two bitches!"

Ye Fan could not understand why things had turned out this way. Before his rebirth, Jiang Yang had controlled him for a time. Yet after being reborn, he had still run into the man—and been pinned down and brutally beaten by him.

If that was the case, what was the point of his rebirth?

Ye Fan's eyes were bloodshot as he staggered into a small supermarket.

With the body of a Level 1 Professional and seven years of combat experience from the Apocalypse, even while drunk, Ye Fan effortlessly killed every Zombie in the small supermarket.

Just then, a massive Tentacle suddenly landed on Ye Fan's shoulder.

A drop of strange liquid fell onto him. Ye Fan jolted awake and looked up at the ceiling, where an octopus-like Monster was staring at him.

A wave of stench wafted from the surrounding slime. Ye Fan's face merely twitched before it turned into wild delight.

"Demon's Touch... There's actually something like this here..."
