139: Shen Yansheng’s request

After another round of struggle, the Fairy Elders still couldn't do anything to Liu Yang.

"Retreat! Everyone retreat!"

In desperation, the leading fairy had no choice but to issue a retreat order.

"Retreat? Did you ask me?"

Hearing this, Liu Yang was displeased.

Every fairy, every Flame Giant, and every Forest Guardian represented a considerable amount of skill book page and war points; he couldn't just let them escape like that.

But just as he took a step to pursue, a system notification sounded.

【Your double drop rate time has ended.】

"It's over?" Liu Yang was stunned, then filled with rage.

"Damn it, with so many fairies here, you're telling me it's over?"

But over meant over; it wasn't like an internet cafe where you could ask the manager for more time when it ran out.

With the double drop rate over, there was no point in chasing them anymore.

No skill book page, and not much war points to earn. Is it worth the effort?

Thinking this, he immediately stopped in his tracks and turned back towards the city wall.

"Oh~~~ We won!"

"Fairies are nothing! With Liu Yang here, he dealt with them all by himself."

"Liu Yang, invincible!"

"Liu Yang, invincible!"

"Liu Yang, invincible!"

Seeing the fairies retreat, a thunderous cheer immediately erupted from the city wall, echoing through the heavens and earth.

"Liu Yang, well done! Truly worthy of being the number one person in the Underground Palace World."

Shen Yansheng led a large group of humans from the city gate to welcome the hero's return.

"Lord Liu Yang, thank you! Without you, the Stone Mountain Base might have been finished."

"Lord Liu Yang, I'm sorry. I said a lot of bad things about you in the chat channel before. Please forgive me."

Coming up to Liu Yang, everyone expressed their heartfelt gratitude to him.

"Liu, you are the best."

Strafer was the same, giving Liu Yang a thumbs up.

"Liu-kun, thank you!"

New Constant Yui came before Liu Yang and bowed ninety degrees to thank him.

"Hahaha, everyone, there's no need for this. As fellow humans, this is what should be done."

Liu Yang laughed heartily and said nonchalantly.

Of course, deep down, he was actually a little guilty.

If they knew that the appearance of the Fairy race was largely due to him, the consequences would be different.

Night.

Stone Mountain Base.

Inside the city, lanterns were hung, lights were bright, and it was a scene of celebration.

Outside the city, extremely powerful Earth Palace Creatures appeared inexplicably, their fierce might shaking the heavens.

However, due to the existence of the large illusionary barrier, those unintelligent creatures could not detect the presence of the base.

Liu Yang shook off the fawning people and came to sit on the city wall by himself.

Looking at the super Earth Palace Creatures outside, his heart was full of curiosity.

"How is it? Are you full of questions?"

Suddenly, a gentle voice came from behind him.

Liu Yang didn't turn around; he knew it was Shen Yansheng just by the voice.

"Yes, looking at the string of question marks above those monsters' heads, how could I not be curious? I've never seen them during the day."

"Curiosity is fine, but don't delve too deep." Shen Yansheng sat next to Liu Yang, looking at the giant beasts outside the city, his voice somewhat deep.

"I once sent people to test them, but even with powerful items, they couldn't harm them in the slightest."

"And that team of testers was completely wiped out just by being looked at by the giant beasts."

Liu Yang was startled when he heard this and turned to look at Shen Yansheng.

Actually, he really had the idea of going to test them out.

With his current defense, he felt there shouldn't be much of a problem.

But hearing Shen Yansheng say this, he hesitated.

There were too many secrets and unknowns in the Underground Palace World, and he couldn't really be reckless.

Thinking of this, Liu Yang sincerely thanked Shen Yansheng.

"Hmm, thanks for the advice. I won't court death."

"Since being dragged into this Dungeon Survival Game, I feel that the best thing I've done is establish the Stone Mountain Base and form an alliance with you."

Hearing Shen Yansheng's words, Liu Yang was stunned, then realized that the other party probably had something to say.

So, he remained silent, waiting for what came next.

Sure enough, Shen Yansheng immediately continued:

"Judging from today's situation, the future will be even more dangerous. So, I have a request, and I hope you can agree."

Seeing Shen Yansheng's solemn expression, Liu Yang sat up straight.

"I'd like to hear the details."

"I want to hand over the command of the Stone Mountain Base to you, for you to lead everyone to fight together and carve out a path for humanity."

"No." Hearing Shen Yansheng's words, Liu Yang flatly refused.

What a joke, taking over command would be equivalent to taking on a bunch of burdens.

He was carefree now, living a wonderfully comfortable life every day.

Moreover, with his reserves, even if all of humanity died, he could still live well in his Home.

"Why?"

Shen Yansheng was puzzled.

Logically speaking, power should be very tempting to men, shouldn't it?

"I know what you're thinking. You're afraid I'll leave, aren't you?" Liu Yang saw through Shen Yansheng's thoughts and stated it directly.

"Actually, you don't have to worry so much. For now, it's all the same to me no matter where I am."

"Since that's the case, I have no reason to refuse to do something for humanity without harming my own interests."

"Of course, as I said at the very beginning, if a major crisis appears, and I have no confidence at all, I will quietly leave."

Having his thoughts seen through by Liu Yang, Shen Yansheng's face uncharacteristically flushed.

"Then is there any way to make you actively contribute to everyone?"

During the two days Liu Yang had been at the base, Shen Yansheng noticed that he hadn't had much contact with other people.

The same went for many tasks; Liu Yang didn't even glance at them.

Given Liu Yang's strength, Shen Yansheng really wanted him to step forward more actively and do something for humanity.

Liu Yang pondered for a moment after hearing Shen Yansheng's question.

"If you can help me collect some items that increase monster drop rates, this matter isn't out of the question."

What Liu Yang wanted most right now were things that increased monster drop rates.

As for skill book page, he no longer valued it as much.

Because if he could stack the drop rate to 200%, he could have as much skill book page as he wanted.

"Things that increase monster drop rates?"

Shen Yansheng was startled, propping his chin as he thought.

"I've heard of such things, but they don't seem to be very common."

"How about this, tomorrow I'll ask everyone, and if there are any, I'll let you know. Then you can see what you need."

Hearing this, Liu Yang's smile became exceptionally bright.

No one could definitively say that the people gathered at Stone Mountain Base were the strongest in the Underground Palace World, but it was certainly true that they were among the top.

With so many strong individuals, he didn't believe that others had nothing at all.

But, not asking for much, even if it could only increase by 20% or 30% in the end, that would still be excellent.

Every little bit adds up.

Although Liu Yang didn't agree to his proposal, Shen Yansheng was still quite satisfied knowing that he wouldn't just stand by and do nothing.

Afterward, the two talked a lot.

From the various aspects of the Dungeon Survival Game to situations that might be encountered in the future, and even nostalgia for reality, and so on.

As their enthusiasm slowly cooled and time slowly passed, the two said their goodbyes and left.
