Global Lord: 100\% Drop Rate Chapter 2

A Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificate!

“So, the Blazing Sun Desert is the name of the land beneath my feet.”

“And… is this truly my Legendary-Tier Lord Talent?! I can actually perceive the drop rates of every single item!” Zhou Zhou’s expression was filled with excitement as he stared at the loot probabilities listed at the bottom.

“Slay this beast! Our territory is protected by a barrier that the monster cannot breach! We can launch our attacks from inside the safety of the protective barrier without any risk!” He commanded instantly.

Upon hearing his words, the eyes of Bai Yi and the others sparkled. Bai Yi, in particular, drew her bow and took careful aim. With a sharp release, she sent an arrow flying straight into the right eye of the Desert Fog Lizard.

The Desert Fog Lizard let out a roar of agonizing pain. In a frenzy, it began to bash against the protective barrier even more violently, desperate to devour Zhou Zhou and the others hiding within.

Seeing the opening, Bai Yi unleashed a volley of arrows. The remaining four subjects followed suit, grabbing rocks and sand from the earth to hurl at the monstrous lizard.

Roughly three to four minutes later, while attempting to flee, the Desert Fog Lizard was struck through the neck by one of Bai Yi’s arrows and collapsed with a final shriek.

A kill notification materialized before Zhou Zhou’s eyes.

[Your subject Bai Yi has slain a Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Desert Fog Lizard. Promotion Energy +1! Loots have been condensed!]

Simultaneously, a surge of warm energy manifested in Zhou Zhou’s heart, flowing through his limbs and bones to enhance his physical constitution.

He sensed that his vitality had increased significantly compared to before.

[Novice Lord Notification: Your forces generate promotion energy upon killing enemies. 90% of this promotion energy is used to empower your forces, while the remaining 10% is channeled back to you, the Lord, to strengthen your own body.]

“Doesn’t that mean Lords can grow stronger without lifting a finger? This system is clearly pushing us Lords to relentlessly expand and conquer,” Zhou Zhou mused to himself.

“My Lord, shall we bring the remains of the fog monster back?” Bai Yi asked with deep respect.

Zhou Zhou gave a nod of approval.

Bai Yi scanned the area outside the protective barrier first. Once she confirmed there were no lurking threats, she signaled the other four to follow her outside. Together, they hauled the heavy corpse of the Desert Fog Lizard back and laid it at Zhou Zhou’s feet.

“My Lord, please claim the loot now. If you wait, the Desert Fog Lizard’s body will revert into fog and vanish within two hours. It won’t respawn until an indefinite amount of time has passed,” Bai Yi cautioned him.

Zhou Zhou was taken aback.

Such a mechanic existed?

“Are you able to retrieve the loot as well?” Zhou Zhou inquired suddenly.

“I can, but my luck has always been quite mediocre. The best I’ve ever managed was five units of flesh and blood in addition to the guaranteed Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores. Back in the army, I heard rumors of water bags dropping, but I have never witnessed it myself.” Bai Yi’s voice trailed off as her confidence wavered.

Zhou Zhou grasped her meaning immediately.

The probability for a 1 kg water bag was a mere 3%, which was indeed quite low for most.

However, the rules were different for him!

Without wasting another second, Zhou Zhou rested his hand upon the carcass of the Desert Fog Lizard.

Since he would be utilizing this Legendary-Tier talent every day from now on, there was no reason to hide it. He had nothing to fear.

A golden prompt flashed.

[Do you wish to retrieve the loot?]

“Yes!”

A text notification appeared an instant later.

[Lord Talent Hint: Loots obtained— two units of Mist Core (Black Iron-Tier), 20 units of Desert Fog Lizard flesh (Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade), 1 kg water bag, one copy of Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificate (Gradeless)!]

Whoosh!

Under the stunned gazes of Bai Yi and the others, the corpse of the Desert Fog Lizard dissolved, replaced instantly by a pile of items scattered across the sand.

“There is water… and even loot I have never heard of before! My Lord, what incredible luck do you possess…” Bai Yi stammered in disbelief.

Zhou Zhou was equally startled.

This "explosion" of items was a magnificent sight!

“Carry everything to the front of my Lord’s cabin,” Zhou Zhou ordered, standing up while trying to contain his thrill.

“Yes!” The five subjects snapped out of their daze and replied quickly, beginning to move the supplies.

Zhou Zhou reached for one of the books, which featured an illustration of Sword Shield Soldiers on its cover, and began to examine it.

A text window appeared.

Item Name: Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificate

[Item Level: Gradeless]

[Item Effect: A tool for changing to a Basic Soldier Class! Upon use, the individual becomes a Sword Shield Soldier. They will also receive a set of Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade gear, one year of Sword Shield Soldier combat experience, and start at the Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade strength level.]

[Item Description: A basic military profession certificate! A single certificate can turn a commoner with no strength into an extraordinary professional!]

Zhou Zhou’s eyes danced with joy.

This was a rare find that normally had only a 0.01% chance of dropping!

After reflecting for a moment, he decided against using it on himself.

First, he had higher aspirations than becoming a basic soldier. With his Legendary-Tier talent, superior occupation classes would surely become available in the future.

Second, as a Lord, he could increase his power without needing to risk his life against monsters, so using it on himself would be a waste of resources.

“I’ll grant this to one of my subjects,” Zhou Zhou concluded.

He summoned the subjects who lacked professions and asked if any were willing to take up the mantle of a Sword Shield Soldier.

To his surprise, two of them were eager to accept the dangerous role. Zhou Zhou chose Zhang Cang, who possessed White Silver-Tier Elementary Grade potential, to receive the certificate.

The other candidate only had Green Bronze-Tier Intermediate Grade potential; he could wait for the next certificate to drop.

Watching their enthusiastic faces, Zhou Zhou realized he had underestimated how much the natives of this world craved becoming professionals. After all, being a professional meant wielding extraordinary power!

Zhang Cang activated the Class Change Certificate right then and there.

A burst of white light erupted from his frame.

Moments later, Zhang Cang stood before Zhou Zhou, fully clad in standard Sword Shield Soldier equipment.

His eyes were now sharp and focused. It was clear the certificate had granted him significant benefits.

“My Lord, I am deeply grateful for this chance to become a professional soldier! I am prepared to do anything for you!” He knelt on the ground, his voice filled with fervor.

[Your subject Zhang Cang’s loyalty has risen to 92!]

Zhou Zhou nodded with satisfaction.

With loyalty exceeding 90 points, betrayal was virtually impossible.

Then, he pulled up Zhang Cang’s statistics.

[Subject: Zhang Cang]

[Territory: Unnamed]

[Soldier Type: Sword Shield Soldier]

[Strength Level: Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade]

[Ability Overview: Became a professional through the “Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificate.” He has mastered the fundamental combat skills of a Sword Shield Soldier!]
