232: Chapter 232 System Upgrade

Time flew by, and it was soon afternoon.

Fierce Tiger Gang, General Hall, office.

Chen Hu was sipping tea.

Suddenly, the scout he had sent out returned: "Reporting to the Gang Leader, the bald donkeys from Jingang Temple have arrived more than thirty miles outside the city."

"Alright, go down and collect your reward!"

Chen Hu stood up and stretched.

After walking out of the office, Chen Hu said to Zhao Zilong, Dian Wei, and Huang Zhong: "Let's go, follow me to meet this bunch of bald donkeys!"

The four of them rode their horses and galloped toward the outside of the city.

They intercepted them exactly five miles outside the city.

"Old Huang, your archery is alright, right?" Chen Hu asked Huang Zhong, who was behind him.

"It is passable!" Huang Zhong replied, unflustered.

"Very well, let's use this group of people to test your archery!" Chen Hu pointed at the group of bald heads more than two hundred meters away.

"Supreme Elder, three Seniors, that person is Chen Hu!" Elder Fa Xin of the Jingang Temple pointed at Chen Hu, who was more than two hundred meters away.

"This kid has quite some guts, actually daring to come and intercept us!"

The Mid Organ-Refining Realm expert from the Great Zen Temple said with a mocking tone.

But just as his voice fell.

A strong sense of unease arose in his heart.

"Swish!"

Then, he felt a flash of light before his eyes, followed immediately by darkness, and he completely lost consciousness.

It was Huang Zhong who had shot an arrow through the center of his forehead.

"Thud!"

Seeing this Mid Organ-Refining Realm expert fall from his horse to the ground.

Everyone else was greatly alarmed.

Then, they heard Chen Hu's laughter from not far away: "Hahaha, Old Huang, that was a good shot. I'll reward you with a jar of fine wine tonight!"

"Thank you, my Lord!"

Huang Zhong immediately expressed his gratitude: "My Lord, if I shoot and kill one more, can I be rewarded with another jar?"

"One shouldn't be too greedy; leave them to General Zhao Zilong and Dian Wei!"

Chen Hu shook his head with a smile.

"That's right, Old Huang, you can't hog all the fun. Leave the remaining two to me, Old Dian, and General Zhao Zilong!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Dian and General Zhao Zilong spurred their horses and charged toward the group.

Very quickly.

Dian Wei and General Zhao Zilong each began to fight with an Organ Refining Realm expert.

Their cultivation was already approaching the Perfection of the Late-stage Refining Viscera.

Moreover, they possessed extremely rich combat experience, and naturally, they were suppressing the two Organ Refining Realm monks.

As for Huang Zhong, he was not willing to be left out; the longbow in his hand was like a thunderbolt.

Every arrow he shot took away a life.

In a short while.

Everyone else had been shot dead by him.

Seeing that Huang Zhong had already taken care of the other enemies, General Zhao Zilong and Dian Wei accelerated their pace.

Before long, they also solved their respective opponents one after another.

Afterward, the two began to loot the corpses.

In total, they obtained over 3 million taels of silver notes, several thousand taels of silver pieces, two stalks of Spirit Medicine, and one Advanced Earth-grade Martial Skill.

Chen Hu waved his hand.

Dozens of corpses also vanished simultaneously.

It was Chen Hu who had stored these corpses into his Storage Ring, intending to use them as fertilizer for the Heaven-Swallowing Vine.

"You all go back first; I have something to take care of!"

As soon as Chen Hu finished speaking, he vanished.

The three of them led Chen Hu's horse and headed toward the city.

The next moment, Chen Hu appeared inside a mountain stronghold.

The refugees for this stronghold had all arrived and were already cutting down nearby trees to build houses.

Compared to the numbness and despair of yesterday, today there was a glimmer of hope in the eyes of these refugees.

"Greetings, Master!"

At this moment, the Tier 4 soldier who was supervising the work saw Chen Hu arrive and immediately stepped forward to salute.

"Gather everyone together!"

Chen Hu commanded.

"Yes!"

Very quickly, all the refugees were assembled.

Chen Hu began the process of taking in followers.

When the process was finished, the number of followers on his panel had increased by another 343.

After letting these refugees continue their work.

Chen Hu headed to the next stronghold.

This stronghold housed 351 refugees.

After the same process, the number of Chen Hu's followers increased to 9,951.

Thus, Chen Hu continued to the third stronghold.

The number of refugees in this stronghold was only 303.

After finishing the process, the number of Chen Hu's followers directly exceeded ten thousand.

Reaching 10,254.

Just as he was preparing to continue to the next stronghold.

The System notification sound rang abruptly in his mind: "Detected that the host's number of followers has exceeded ten thousand. Do you wish to upgrade?"

"The System can also be upgraded?"

Chen Hu was stunned.

But as a modern person, he understood one principle: after an upgrade, it would definitely be better than before.

Therefore, he decisively answered: "Upgrade!"

"Ding, System upgrade started. The upgrade time will be two hours. Please wait patiently, Host!"

It actually only takes two hours to complete the upgrade.

He was not in a hurry to go to the next stronghold.

Instead, he flashed into an empty forest, threw out the dozens of corpses, and then summoned the Heaven-Swallowing Vine.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"

After the Heaven-Swallowing Vine appeared, dozens of black root Systems shot out from beneath it, rooting themselves into the corpses.

And these corpses withered at a visible speed.

In a short while.

The dozens of corpses at the scene had all vanished, leaving only dozens of monk robes behind.

The Heaven-Swallowing Vine, having eaten its fill, returned to Chen Hu's heart.

And Chen Hu, being bored, went hunting nearby.

With his strength and methods, hunting was almost like stocking up on goods.

In less than half an hour.

The prey in this forest had almost been cleared out by him.

However, he did not go too far; he did not hunt those that were pregnant or young animals.

Swish.

A figure flashed by.

Chen Hu returned to that stronghold.

With a wave of his hand, two wild boars, three wolves, and two mountain goats appeared on the open ground.

"Arrange for people to process these; make them for everyone to eat tonight!"

Afterward, Chen Hu went to other strongholds and left a certain amount of prey in each one.

The refugees who learned the news were absolutely overjoyed.

They felt that worshiping this big brother was too worth it; not only did he give them food to eat, but there was also meat.

Very quickly.

Two hours passed.

"Ding, System upgrade complete. Please receive the functional information, Host!"

The next moment, a stream of unfamiliar information appeared in Chen Hu's mind.

After absorbing these memories, he also understood the functions of the upgraded System.

First, the first function after the System upgrade.

As long as they become his followers, each follower can provide him with 1 point of Follower Value every day.

And what is the use of Follower Value?

Simply put, Follower Value is a panacea.

It can be used to improve talent, Physique, Bloodline, and cultivation.

It can also improve Comprehension Ability.

Besides that, it can also be converted into experience points for Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills.

Moreover, this Follower Value can not only be used for himself but also for others.

Secondly, Follower Value can also be used for lucky draws.

Elementary lucky draw, 1,000 per draw; Intermediate lucky draw, 10,000 per draw; Advanced lucky draw, 100,000 per draw; Top-tier lucky draw, 1,000,000 per draw.

At the same time, the System also opened a mall.

This mall has everything; as long as you have enough Follower Value, you can even buy Pangu's Heaven-Opening Axe.

By the way, Follower Value is settled every night at midnight.

"Not bad!"

Chen Hu smiled with satisfaction.

Continued to go to other strongholds to go through the process.

When he finished all the processes, his followers had increased by another 2,889.

The total number directly broke through to 13,141.

However, what made Chen Hu slightly regretful was that the lucky draw rewards and gift pack rewards after followers exceeded ten thousand were gone.

Therefore, today he only obtained 67 Elementary lucky draws, 6 Intermediate lucky draws, and 1 Advanced lucky draw.
