Awoke As A God After Auto Battling For 1000000 Years

In Notting City.

Instead of rushing to the garrison camp to kill zombies, Zhang Yue decided to make a stop at the pharmacy for supplies.

For the final phase of the [Material Collection] mission, dealing with poisonous zombies was seriously draining his health.

Every two zombies required one bottle of Level 3 Health Potion, costing 15 copper coins each.

For most people, this kind of expense was unbearable.

After all, a poisonous zombie only dropped about 6–7 copper coins, so you were essentially losing money.

Luckily for Zhang Yue, back in the First World, he completed a hidden King-level quest, earning a massive reward of 1 gold coin.

That single gold coin would last him quite some time.

After stocking up, Su Jinyan came online.

The two met up in the city and headed together towards the garrison camp.

On the way, Zhang Yue asked, "You said earlier that you had something to give me?"

"Here!" Su Jinyan handed him a pair of silver-gray greaves.

Zhang Yue took a look.

[Doomsday Greaves] (Level 15, 2-Star)

"These dropped from the Corpse King?" Zhang Yue mused.

"Mhm!" Su Jinyan nodded, smiling. "Even though you were the one who took down the boss, you didn't take any loot. These greaves fit you perfectly, and I noticed you didn't have anything equipped in that slot. So, I brought them for you."

Zhang Yue didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the greaves.

While Su Jinyan wasn't looking, he quietly used a one-click refine option on the Doomsday Greaves.

[Ding~ Congratulations, you've gained the Golden Attribute: [Fatal Earthguard].]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

For Zhang Yue, defense wasn't particularly useful, but the added ability significantly increased the value of the equipment.

Without hesitation, Zhang Yue equipped the greaves.

At that moment, Su Jinyan sighed softly, "Chen Jun... He's petty and arrogant. Zhang Yue, don't take what he said to heart."

Zhang Yue raised an eyebrow. "Hm? What did he say?"

Pausing for a moment, he then asked curiously, "Why does your family's guild let an outsider like him take charge?"

"His father was a close friend of my uncle, Su Chen, the director of the Su family." Su Jinyan explained, "It was my uncle who appointed Chen Jun to lead the branch in Linhai City."

"...but don't worry."

Su Jinyan quickly reassured Zhang Yue, fearing that mentioning Chen Jun's background might make him hesitate. "At the end of the day, he's not truly part of the Su family. There are many things he has no authority to decide."

In truth, Zhang Yue didn't care much about Chen Jun at all.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the garrison camp.

After passing through the areas controlled by Flame Zombies and Frost Zombies, they entered the domain of the Poison Zombies.

Just like before, they worked together to hunt the Poison Zombies.

An afternoon wasn't enough to finish the task, so after logging off for dinner, they came back online that evening to continue their mission of collecting poisonous zombie cores.

Unbeknownst to them, a pair of eyes had been watching their every move…

In Notting City, Chen Jun and Wu Zui (Yanyu Pavilion's Zui) had just finished restocking at the pharmacy when a short man with the ID [Yanyu Pavilion, Shadow] ran up to them.

"Guild master, you asked me to keep an eye on the Second Miss. I've been watching her all day."

"Well? What did you find?" Chen Jun's eyes widened with urgency at the mention of Su Jinyan.

The assassin, Shadow, reported, "Since I started tailing the Second Miss, I've noticed that she's been sticking close to that new Beast Tamer. They've been working together at the garrison camp west of the city, likely collecting zombie cores for a quest."

"They logged off earlier for dinner and then came back online together. I saw them laughing and talking, looking really happy… almost like a couple."

Hearing this, it was as if Chen Jun had stepped on a landmine. He immediately grabbed Shadow by the collar, his face twisted with fury. "What did you just say?"

Sweat poured down Shadow's face as he stammered, "G-guild master, I'm just reporting what I saw. It's the truth, I swear. I haven't lied at all."

Chen Jun's veins bulged with anger. "I've known the Second Miss for three years, and she's never once smiled at me."

"Is it possible," Wu Zui interjected, "that it's not just you? Ever since she awakened as a Doom Mage three years ago, the Second Miss hasn't smiled at anyone, right?"

"You mean to tell me," Chen Jun growled, "that three years of my protection and loyalty mean less than a few days of sweet talk from that greenhorn? What kind of spell has that brat cast on her?"

Wu Zui offered some advice, "Chen-ge, the only reason that guy is even near the Second Miss is because he joined Yanyu Pavilion. If you ask me, we just need to find a way to kick him out of the guild. That'll put some distance between them."

"I could kick him out of the guild at any time—I have a thousand ways to do it," Chen Jun sneered, "but don't you think that's letting him off too easy?"

Wu Zui paused, then asked, "What do you have in mind, Chen-ge?"

"I'm going to make sure he knows the consequences of touching what's mine," Chen Jun's eyes gleamed with a murderous intent. "Death."

Wu Zui frowned. "But in the Second World, there are resurrection scrolls, and after someone dies, they respawn in safe zones where PK is prohibited. It's not easy to get rid of someone for good."

Chen Jun dismissed the concern with a wave. "Do you remember the rules from the Second World strategy guide?"

"Whenever a zombie wave hits, the safe zones' protection is lifted. All we have to do is wait for the next wave, and we'll easily take him out."

"That's true…" Wu Zui mused, "But that guy's combat power is really high. This morning, he took on the entire Supreme Guild by himself. When we could barely scratch the Corpse King, he was hitting it for three to four hundred damage and ended up killing it. Can we really kill him? I'm worried we might just end up hurting ourselves in the process."

Chen Jun snorted. "Sure, his damage is high, but you know why Liu Yao pulled his forces back, right? It wasn't because of Zhang Yue's power. Liu Yao's just a rich fool who likes him, that's all. If not for that, do you really think he could've driven off Supreme Guild?"

"He hits hard, but do you know how much defense he has?"

Wu Zui shook his head. "Nobody really attacked him, so we couldn't gauge his defense."

Chen Jun then turned to the short assassin, Shadow.

Shadow shook his head vigorously. "His damage was insane. I watched them all afternoon—every zombie they fought was instantly one-shot. No one could even touch him."

"Exactly!" Chen Jun's eyes lit up, sensing an opportunity. "Beast Tamers have lower defense growth than even priests. When I saw him earlier, he didn't have any gear on his legs or head. His defense has to be low."

Chen Jun then ordered Shadow, "Keep an eye on them, and make sure you get a rough estimate of Zhang Yue's defense stat."

Shadow nodded vigorously. "Understood!"

With that, Shadow quickly ran off.

Clenching his fists, Chen Jun's face darkened. "Jinyan is mine! No one will take her from me."
