102: Star Alliance

The sky was pale in the east, the night passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Ming woke up naturally, looked out the window, and the sky was just beginning to lighten.

...

He sat up, and after being stunned for a few seconds, he finally came back to his senses, put on his slippers, left the bed, and went downstairs.

He poured a glass of water and moistened his throat.

Then he went straight to the bathroom.

He opened the toilet lid and sat down.

He picked up his phone and logged onto the forum.

This was undoubtedly the most convenient and fastest way to obtain information at the moment.

Although Chen Ming had only slept for seven hours, anything could have happened within those seven hours.

Especially after midnight when the fishing attempts were reset.

It was possible that in the next second, someone would fish out a monster even bigger than the Scarlet Knight.

On the trending list, Chen Ming was finally no longer dominating the charts alone, a situation where he was the only one standing out.

Many new pieces of news appeared.

However, most of it was still related to Chen Ming, over half.

Especially the discussion about the Necromancer, the popularity gap between it and the second place was immense.

While doing his business, Chen Ming clicked in, wanting to see what these people were talking about that could push the popularity past 100 million.

[The Skill to summon Undead is too overpowered, it is suggested that the official either ban it or nerf it.]

[Nerf what? The data? Do you think this is a game?]

[Isn't life just a game? It's just that the game mode has changed now, it's forced hard mode.]

[If there is no limit to the summoning quantity, wouldn't the more monsters there are, the stronger he becomes, and the more advantageous it is for him?]

[Yes, as long as he has this Skill, his Undead Legion can continuously expand, constantly snowballing, and getting stronger and stronger!]

[He has truly achieved forming an army by himself, one hundred thousand Undead, one million Undead, ten million... Once this number rolls up, it's unimaginable!]

[I just hope he doesn't stand against us humans, otherwise...]

[Otherwise what? Do you really think you can treat him as a monster and eliminate him?]

[Then you think too highly of me, and too highly of all humanity. What I mean is, if he really stands against us, everyone else, without a doubt, will face extinction!]

[It's fine, isn't being summoned as an Undead by him after death also a way out? By the way, do Undead have consciousness? If they do, wouldn't that be equivalent to eternal life?]

[I don't know, why don't you try?]

[Do you really think, compared to those giant pythons, centipedes, and flying dragons, we are truly worth him wasting his mental power to summon?]

That single sentence pierced the hearts of many.

As the person in question, Chen Ming had a completely different idea after seeing it. Anyway, there was no quantity limit, and they were all delivered to his doorstep, so there was no reason not to extract them.

He exited the entry.

Chen Ming began browsing other content.

[#One person fished out one hundred thousand Zombies, causing the entire country to perish overnight!]

"One hundred thousand Zombies can make a country perish?"

After Chen Ming clicked in with curiosity, he suddenly understood.

This country called Asia, Africa, Latin America was built on an island, and the entire country combined had a population of no more than one hundred thousand.

As a result, some unlucky person fished out one hundred thousand Zombies, more than their total population, directly causing Asia, Africa, Latin America to fall overnight.

Except for a small number of "wealthy people" who escaped by boat, most people permanently became Zombies and remained on the island.

[#Hunter Alliance Officially Established, Over Ninety Percent of Countries Announce Their Joining]

[#Great Xia's First Hunter Organization Established!]

Chen Ming decisively clicked on the second entry.

He knew without thinking about the first one that, as one of the five major countries, Great Xia would definitely not be absent.

"'Star Alliance', meaning the shining of stars..."

After reading through, Chen Ming learned.

At its establishment, anyone who fished out a Skill could apply to join the Star Alliance and become an officially certified professional Hunter, participating in monster-slaying missions.

Of course, the officials would not let these people risk their lives for nothing; rewards and punishments were clearly defined. The greater the merit, the more resource allocation one could enjoy.

Unlike other countries that synchronized the Hunter's level with the highest level of the Skill obtained,

The Star Alliance had its own independent ranking system, with a total of nine stars. The higher the number of stars, the higher the Hunter's level.

The improvement of a Hunter's level did not only refer to the Skill level but also placed more importance on practical combat ability.

And the best way to demonstrate practical combat ability was to fight monsters!

After reading through, Chen Ming felt it was quite good. Formalization and facing the Ten Thousand Realms Fishing software squarely were not bad things.

Since it couldn't be eliminated, they could only coexist with it.

Comment section.

[Brothers, the certificates have been issued! From today onwards, we are professional Hunters, officially certified with a stamp!]

This was the most liked comment, reaching over 100,000 likes, and it included a photo of the certificate with some sensitive information blurred out.

[F-Rank Skill, currently awaiting review]

[D-Rank, just received news, they will send someone to pick me up in two hours, hope everything goes smoothly.]

[Wuwuwu, have so many people fished out Skills? Am I the only one who hasn't?]

[Don't cry, brother, the most valuable thing I've fished out so far is a pair of Hermes underwear.]

[Are there any A-Rank, S-Rank ones? Come out and let me broaden my horizons.]

[Heh heh, do people who can fish out A-Rank, S-Class Skills have time to chat idly with you here?]

...

After browsing through, Chen Ming instantly understood the advantage of having a large population.

There were indeed quite a few people who had fished out Skills.

Although most of them were E-Rank, F-Rank Skills, for this stage, it was already quite good.

He exited and continued to the next trending topic.

[#Sakura Country Fukushima fisherman Honda Sanzo fished up a mutated giant squid, currently over ten thousand casualties!]

[#Eagle Faction Death Toll Reaches New High, Victims Infected with Virus and Turned into Zombies Exceed One Million!]

[#India's k-335 Zombie Serum Potion Has Been Forcibly Halted Due to Causing the Deaths of 35 Volunteers, with a Hundred Percent Fatality Rate!]

[#Ten Thousand People in India Mutated After Drinking Ganges Water Containing Zombie Virus Because They Believed Bathing and Drinking Ganges Water Could Grant Divine Protection!]

[#Indian Shaman Bitten and Infected During Exorcism, Currently Killed!]

...

A certain country's appearance rate was ridiculously high, which perfectly matched Chen Ming's stereotype of them.

In terms of being jaw-dropping, they never disappointed, always coming up with a series of bizarre operations.

He had also scrolled past something before about them trying to drive away Zombies by burning cow dung...

After that, the top fifty list was mostly related to the words Undead and Mecha.

In the comment section, there were quite a few people who vowed to follow Chen Ming.

However, Chen Ming had no interest in this.

Having the Skill Undead Extraction, accepting living people as followers?

It didn't make much sense.

Where were their advantages? Stronger? Or in terms of loyalty, could they surpass the Undead?

The answer was obvious.

Flush!

Flushed, wiped clean, pulled up his pants.

After Chen Ming finished his simple wash-up.

He came outside the villa and summoned the Calamity Dragon.

He instantly teleported onto the dragon's back.

A breakfast milk in one hand, bread in the other.

He had the Calamity Dragon move along the path of slaughter taken by Bai Yuan and Qingyun Ice Dragon.

While eating breakfast and replenishing nutrients.

While crazily harvesting and pushing towards the maximum number of summonable Undead.
