The golden-crowned eagle ultimately died with resentment.

Qiao Yu was exhausted after directing his team to fly kites of the Golden-Crowned Eagle, gradually wearing it down until it was finally killed.

Qiao Ruoxi supported him to prevent her father from collapsing to the ground from exhaustion.

At this moment, Zhang Lin walked over.

"Here, eat this." He tossed over a packaged small bread, the kind of authentic old Parisian French bread from the well-known brand, Panpan.

The little bread roll had undergone a sacred ritual performed by Ji Yuetong, giving it the ability to quickly restore physical strength and recover from injuries.

Qiao Yu took the small bread roll with some puzzlement, took a bite with a questioning look, and then his eyes lit up. "This is good stuff!"

Qiao Ruoxi, who was standing to the side, looked a little confused.

Even though it's the apocalypse, why would my dad be so surprised to eat a small bread roll? Is he trying to curry favor with Zhang Lin?

Zhang Lin smiled at him and said, "Old Qiao, I heard from the city lord that you came to Rongcheng to seek refuge with him, right?"

Qiao Yu stuffed the remaining bread into his mouth and nodded, saying, "Yes, the Jin Yu County settlement has been completely destroyed, and we can't guarantee whether there will be any other monsters appearing, so... I plan to bring the rest of us to join Hope City, and I hope you can take us in."

He realized at this point that if he really wanted to join Hope City, Zhang Lin would have to give in.

“Sure, we welcome you.” Zhang Lin readily agreed.

Qiao Yu was overjoyed and clasped his hands in thanks to him: "Thank you so much, Captain Zhang!"

“But…” Zhang Lin suddenly spoke again.

Qiao Yu's heart sank immediately.

Things aren't so good when there's a "but".

Zhang Lin continued, "Now that you've joined Hope City, I'll have my men collect the remains of this Golden Crowned Giant Eagle and distribute them later."

Qiao Yu's face immediately darkened.

I understand.

It means that the people of Jinyu County died and contributed their strength, but Jinyu County did not receive any spoils of war.

No wonder Zhang Lin, who had been acting like a mad dog, suddenly came over with a smile!

This is a trap!

"Captain Zhang, this isn't right..." Qiao Yu said with a troubled expression, "Look, so many people have died in our Jinyu County..."

“Old Joe, what are you saying? You’ve all joined Hope City, how could I treat you unfairly?” Zhang Lin earnestly persuaded, “We’re all family now, why distinguish between you and me? Listen to me, I’ll distribute the spoils later.”

Just now, Xia Xiaonuan and Zhang Lin discussed the importance of the Golden Crowned Giant Eagle's remains.

This extraordinary creature is a treasure trove. Not to mention its vital blood, flesh, and bones, even a single feather can be crafted into an extraordinary item.

Moreover, there is something even more important.

Demon Core!

The extraordinary beings of today are like the mythical beasts in legends. Just as mythical beasts have a demon core as their core, extraordinary beings have a demon core as their core.

This demon core has countless uses. Not only can it be used to create extraordinary items and extraordinary awakening potions, but it can also create something extremely important—the Blood Pill.

The purpose of Blood Pills is to enhance a person's basic attributes.

The extraordinary template is different from the skills in the game. In the game, releasing skills requires mana or mana points, while the extraordinary abilities brought by the extraordinary template require stamina.

Just like how an electric eel doesn't need a blue bar to discharge electricity, but needs to consume its own energy, it's the same principle.

The extraordinary template grants humans extraordinary abilities directly, transforming these abilities into instincts, much like how humans are born to walk, and walking requires physical exertion.

The strength of extraordinary abilities is related to basic attributes.

For example, Zhang Lin's dragon breath. With his current physique, he can only exhale two or three breaths in a short period of time without any problem, but any more than that and his stamina will be exhausted.

In terms of power, this is not the limit, but his body can't withstand it. If he doesn't control the power, he might be devoured by the dragon's breath.

It's not impossible for one's head to explode from a dragon's breath...

But if his physical condition were even better, say doubled...

Therefore, Zhang Lin will not only be able to unleash more powerful dragon breath, but the number of dragon breaths he can unleash will also increase, and correspondingly, his strength will also increase.

The same applies to the Dragon's Might skill. It determines the boundary between strong and weak creatures based on their basic attributes. If Zhang Lin's basic attributes are high enough, as long as he sits in Hope City and activates Dragon's Might, extraordinary creatures will not dare to harass him.

An Qingge's abilities are basically linked to her agility; the higher her agility, the higher her strength.

Blood pills are items that can improve basic attributes.

Besides Blood Pills, there are other items that can improve attributes, but these are relatively rare and not as easy to obtain as Blood Pills.

To create a Blood Pill, all that is needed is the demon core of an extraordinary creature.

It doesn't matter what species it is.

In the future, Blood Pills will be the main resource for extraordinary individuals to enhance their strength.

Having learned of the importance of the Blood Pill, Zhang Lin naturally wanted to get his hands on it.

Indeed, the people of Jinyu County contributed their efforts.

Ultimately, the ability to kill the Golden Crowned Eagle was due to the extraordinary abilities of Zhang Lin and Xia Xiaonuan.

This isn't something where whoever dies the most gets the most.

Zhang Lin will share some of their efforts with them, but he will definitely keep the lion's share for himself.

Qiao Yu had a gloomy expression on his face.

He understood Zhang Lin's thoughts all too well. If he agreed, he'd probably only get a pittance in the end, but...

There's nothing I can do if they don't agree!
