Chapter 273 New Bond Acquired, Reporting

The door to Dormitory 404 was pushed open.

Su Ze walked in, carrying Ye Qingqing in his arms.

"No need for introductions, right? You all know each other. This is Ye Qingqing, our new tenant in Dormitory 404."

As soon as he finished speaking, the women in the living room all looked over in unison.

Qiao Yunge was sitting on the sofa, holding half an apple, and muttered while curling her lips.

"It's broad daylight, and your efficiency is a bit too high, isn't it?"

Su Meier leaned against the wall, her gaze sweeping over the unconscious Ye Qingqing before landing on Shi Yetang, who was limping behind Su Ze.

"Oh my, why is our zombie lady in such a miserable state?" Su Meier covered her mouth and giggled, "Could it be that the Landlord took the liberty of favoring you?"

Shi Yetang's face flushed red. She wanted to retort but didn't dare to speak loudly, so she could only mutter under her breath.

"He's simply not human... a whole afternoon, what an animal."

Liu Qiaofei and Zhuang Xiaoxin immediately blushed, lowering their heads and pretending to chat.

An Lan remained expressionless. She walked forward without a word, took the limp Ye Qingqing from Su Ze's arms, and carried her steadily into the side bedroom.

Yao Qingya walked out of the kitchen, carrying a steaming bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge, and placed it on the dining table.

"Eat something to line your stomach first." Yao Qingya pulled out a chair, her tone gentle, "It was just cooked, and the temperature is just right."

Su Ze nodded, pulled out a chair, sat down, picked up a spoon, and took a sip.

The porridge was cooked to a smooth consistency, with just the right balance of savory flavor.

While eating, Su Ze summoned the system panel to check the two new Bonds he had just obtained.

[Goddess Name: Ye Qingqing]

[Bond Effect: If successfully bound and the Bond is established, you will obtain the exclusive Bond effect — [Assistance]!]

[[Assistance]: You can borrow any of this Goddess's own attributes at any time and add them to the corresponding attribute of the host or any tenant in the same Dormitory (any bonuses or temporary increases are not included), lasting for three hours.]

Su Ze looked at these lines and raised an eyebrow.

This skill was quite practical.

He had also glanced at Ye Qingqing's current attribute panel.

[tenant: Ye Qingqing]

[Personal Attributes: health 8, strength 8, intelligence 11, Stamina 7, spirit 11, speed 6]

[basic combat power: 51]

Ye Qingqing's attributes were already quite good, totaling 51 points, which was stronger than most players.

If he used [Assistance] to borrow her 11 points of intelligence or spirit and applied them to Jiang Yuwan and the others... perhaps it could have miraculous effects at critical moments?

If added to himself, having a dozen extra points of speed or strength at a critical moment, after multiple Burst amplifications, would be enough to turn the tide of an evenly matched battle.

And it lasts for three hours.

This was absolutely a top-tier tactical support skill.

Su Ze took a sip of porridge and moved his gaze down to look at the second Bond.

[Goddess Name: Shi Yetang]

[Bond [Power of the King Corpse]: The host's Stamina attribute is permanently doubled, and at the same time, you can adjust your own level of pain perception (0-100%). Note: Different levels of pain perception have their pros and cons, please adjust with caution.]

The Stamina attribute is permanently doubled!

This wasn't a temporary boost, but a solid increase in base attributes.

Although the value shared among each of them wasn't particularly large, the base foundation had grown. When he activated the Burst Bond, or even stacked a second-stage Burst, the increase in combat power would definitely be a terrifying number.

And there was that pain perception adjustment function.

It could be adjusted freely from 0 to 100%.

If he set the pain perception to 0, it would be equivalent to becoming a tireless, pain-free killing machine.

Although completely blocking pain perception made it easy to ignore fatal wounds during a chaotic battle, as long as he kept 10% pain perception to stay conscious, it was definitely a god-tier skill that could reverse the situation in desperate life-or-death moments.

He opened his personal panel.

[Player: Su Ze]

[Dormitory: 4th Floor - 404 (Room Owner · Level 3 Dormitory)]

[Personal Attributes: health 40, strength 20, intelligence 40, Stamina 30 (+30), spirit 40, speed 60]

[Skills: Intermediate Marksmanship, Armor Piercing Strike, Primary Marksmanship, Basic Boxing, Beginner Blade Technique, Elementary Swordsmanship, Primary Grappling Technique, Elementary Reconnaissance]

[basic combat power: 260]

Now, his basic combat power had reached 260, and he also had the [Burst] Bond.

Plus the [Learning] Bond, plus this [Assistance] and [Power of the King Corpse]...

Layer upon layer of amplification...

It was simply like nesting dolls!!

Su Ze finished the hot porridge in a few gulps and wiped his mouth with a tissue.

He turned his head to look at Jiang Yuwan, who was sitting on the side sofa organizing documents.

"From now on, Ye Qingqing will follow you and act as your assistant."

Jiang Yuwan pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, and the pen in her hand stopped.

"You certainly know how to make arrangements; after you're done messing around, you still want to squeeze people into labor."

"She is meticulous and has good abilities; she can help you share quite a few miscellaneous tasks." Su Ze leaned back against the chair, "Tell me, how is the situation below after the Merit System was implemented this afternoon?"

Jiang Yuwan quickly entered work mode and opened the folder in her hand.

"The results are even better than expected."

"First, regarding material scavenging: after opening the permissions, the players' enthusiasm for earning combat merit points is ridiculously high."

"In just half a day, the outgoing squads brought back four rare-level blueprints. One of them is a construction blueprint for a defensive arrow tower. Many people didn't have the materials, so they exchanged them for combat merit points. As for those who had the materials but no blueprints, various special materials have directly piled up in the three empty large dormitories on the Third Floor, though they might trade privately later on."

Su Ze nodded with satisfaction.

This was the benefit of establishing a management system.

Using combat merit points to drive tens of thousands of people to work—this efficiency was simply incomparable to working alone.

As for allowing trade, let them trade; it wouldn't be a bad thing if it made the whole group stronger.

Anyway, it would all eventually circulate back to him; he definitely wouldn't lose anything.

Jiang Yuwan turned the page and continued her report.

"Secondly, the cleanup of Supernatural Entities."

"Now that it's stipulated that one Supernatural Entity above Lv.3 can be exchanged for one combat achievement point, players have directly treated those Supernatural Entities on the outskirts of the campus as walking combat merit points."

"Wang Meng and Xu Feng took the lead, breaking up and reorganizing the Third Floor and their teams, organizing over a dozen large squads to take turns going out to farm monsters. This whole afternoon, the number of Supernatural Entities wandering on campus has plummeted by at least one-third."

"Those players who originally didn't dare to go out are now scrambling to sign up for the cleanup squads."

combat merit points could be exchanged for food, water, and skill books.

Under the pressure of survival and the temptation of becoming stronger, the players' potential was completely squeezed out.

"Finally, there is the income of copper coins..."
