When extraordinary beings are alive, they are enemies, and terrifying enemies at that; but after they die, they become a treasure.

After a short rest, under Li Xinyue's leadership, everyone began to collect various extraordinary materials.

The Beast King is dead, and the beast tide has dispersed.

But that doesn't mean the future isn't dangerous.

The end times are the end times; they are aimed at annihilating humanity.

There are still many extraordinary creatures everywhere. They will continue to reproduce and grow in number, eventually forming new beast tides that will continue to be enemies of humans.

Elsewhere, after the beast tide kills all humans, it immediately moves on to hunt down the remaining human survivors.

In the future, humanity will still face many battles.

The demon cores and various parts of the bodies of extraordinary creatures are rare materials that can enhance the strength of human extraordinary beings.

In the harsh apocalypse, strength is everything.

Therefore, various extraordinary materials and demon cores became the hard currency in the apocalypse.

There are only about nine hundred survivors in Shashi, less than a thousand, but the number of supernatural beings who died is more than several thousand.

This enormous amount of extraordinary material was divided among less than a thousand people, and everyone became a millionaire.

Of course, Li Xinyue also explained it to everyone.

To get Zhang Lin to help, a great price must be paid. All the extraordinary materials cannot be divided equally among everyone. They must wait until Zhang Lin makes his selection first, and only what he leaves behind can be divided equally among the others.

Basically, no one has any objections to this.

After all, everyone has seen Zhang Lin's performance. Without him, there might not be anyone left alive in Shashi.

Although they felt a little sorry for Zhang Lin and even had some concerns that he was asking for too much, no one raised any objections.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the overall quality of people in Shashi is higher. It's just that Zhang Lin's strength is undeniable. With his strength, killing a beast king is a piece of cake, and killing a person wouldn't be too difficult for him. If they dare to renege on his debt, don't they want to live?

As Zhang Lin approached, people greeted him and flattered him along the way, showering him with compliments as if they were free.

If we make Zhang Lin happy, he might ask for less, and everyone can get a bigger share...

But no one knew that these were not the things Zhang Lin wanted at all.

"You're here. How was your rest?"

When Li Xinyue saw Zhang Lin, she sent several of her men to do their work, and then greeted him with a smile and concern.

Li Shiyun was standing beside her, holding her heavy sword and whistling idly. When she saw Zhang Lin coming over, she hurriedly asked, "Where's the kitten?"

“Go to the tent and go play with it,” Zhang Lin said.

"Okay." Li Shiyun nodded and hurriedly ran away.

With her temper, nobody in Hope City wanted to talk to her. Later, Zhang Lin brought home a cat, and the kitten had a terrible temper, not letting anyone but Zhang Lin touch it. Her temper was even worse; if she wasn't allowed to be touched, she would insist on being touched, and so…

Li Shiyun's greatest entertainment every day is fighting with the little white cat.

The two of them, a human and a cat, were constantly fighting, which saved Zhang Lin a lot of trouble. She had all her energy to fight with the little white cat, so Zhang Lin didn't have to worry about her causing trouble. In addition, someone was keeping the little white cat in check, preventing it from causing any trouble.

With Li Shiyun gone, there was even less anyone to bother Zhang Lin and Li Xinyue.

When she tossed her hair, she exuded the charm of a sophisticated and mature woman.

"As you can see, there are extraordinary materials everywhere here. What do you want, and how much? Just tell me as soon as possible."

“I told you before in Hope City that I don’t want extraordinary materials; they’re not very useful to me.”

Zhang Lin had to admit that Li Xinyue was quite charming, a bit different from young girls. To be specific, she had the charm of a young married woman. However, although she was of marriageable age, she was still one step away from becoming a young married woman.

But Zhang Lin was willing to help her with this.

"Then what do you want?" Li Xinyue was also taken aback by Zhang Lin's words. Last time in Hope City, Zhang Lin did say that he didn't want extraordinary materials, but she thought that she didn't have many with her at that time, so Zhang Lin didn't care. But now there are so many extraordinary materials. As long as there are enough people, it is enough to arm an army of extraordinary people. Why doesn't he want them?

She frowned in thought. If extraordinary wealth wasn't required, could it be…

Suddenly, Li Xinyue had a flash of inspiration and asked, "You don't want extraordinary materials, could it be..." She was thinking of Li Shiyun.

Could it be that Zhang Lin is a hopeless romantic, willing to give up so many extraordinary materials for Li Shiyun?

Upon realizing this possibility, Li Xinyue's goodwill towards Zhang Lin increased dramatically.

“Sigh… I don’t object to Xiaoyun’s relationship with you, but Xiaoyun is still young. I just advise you to wait a little longer, maybe two or three years, before you sleep with her.”

Li Xinyue spoke like a true mother, but she was still a novice, and as she spoke, her face turned red.

These words startled Zhang Lin, but he immediately understood Li Xinyue's thoughts.

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood..." he said with a smile. "We'll talk about Xiaoyun later. Right now, I'm not talking about Xiaoyun, but... you!"

"Me?" Li Xinyue stared in disbelief as her delicate, fair finger pointed to herself. "No... I'm Xiaoyun's mother!"

Her face turned even redder.

She had always considered Zhang Lin as her son-in-law, but now he was making advances towards her, which put her in an awkward position and she couldn't quite accept it.

"You're just her godmother." Zhang Lin said calmly, then pulled out his secret weapon and said without even blushing, "I took a liking to you at first sight when you went to Hope City last time, and I came here this time specifically for you!"

Women are susceptible to this, but of course, there's a prerequisite: the man has to be outstanding. Otherwise, if a loser confesses his feelings on the second meeting, he has absolutely no chance.

Zhang Lin's current strength is enough to allow him to be very willful and direct without any problems.

In addition, he also has some extraordinary abilities to assist him...

Li Xinyue's heart fluttered.

"Well..."

"I, I..."

But considering Li Shiyun's presence, she forced herself to remain rational and asked, "You and Xiaoyun..."

Even though she's my godmother, I can't just...

Zhang Lin remained calm and said ambiguously, "She's too young. I don't like young girls. Let's talk about it in a few years."

"No way!" Li Xinyue was such a perceptive person; as soon as she heard his meaning, she knew he wanted to have his cake and eat it too. The thought of one possibility made her extremely embarrassed, and she gave him a charmingly disdainful look. "You...you've gone too far!"

Seeing her blushing face, and knowing that she wasn't angry even after he had expressed his feelings, Zhang Lin knew that things were settled. So he added the final push:

"I'm your savior, you wouldn't refuse me even this small request, would you?"
