Global Lord: 100\% Drop Rate Chapter 4

Monster Slaying! A Bountiful Harvest!

Zhou Zhou’s eyebrows twitched in surprise.

“You actually managed to take down a Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade beast?” He shifted his gaze toward Bai Yi and the others, his voice filled with astonishment.

“Zhang Cang deserves the credit. If he hadn't stepped up to intercept that Desert Fog Lizard while it was trying to flee… we might have truly lost it,” Bai Yi explained.

Zhou Zhou turned his attention to Zhang Cang.

“Reporting to my Lord! Although it was a Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade monster, my specific soldier characteristics prioritize defense. I can endure a few of its strikes,” Zhang Cang replied.

“Naturally, I couldn't hold out forever. However, knowing that the invincible protective barrier was right behind me gave me confidence.”

“That is why I had the courage to step outside the barrier to bait the creature,” Zhang Cang added, refusing to claim all the glory for himself.

“Both brave and tactical. Excellent work,” Zhou Zhou commended him.

He gathered the spoils from the Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Desert Fog Lizard before placing his hand upon the corpse of the Intermediate Grade beast.

The golden prompt manifested once more.

[Do you wish to extract the loot?]

“Extract!” Zhou Zhou commanded.

[Lord Talent Hint: You have acquired the following loot— four units of Mist Cores (Black Iron-Tier), 40 units of Desert Fog Lizard flesh (Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade), a 3 kg water bag, one Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificate (Gradeless), and one Sword Shield Soldier Recruitment Book (Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade)!]

Whoosh.

The phenomenon repeated itself.

The remains of the Desert Fog Lizard erupted, transforming into a small mountain of items.

The bystanders were once again left in awe.

Zhang Cang, witnessing this for the first time, stood there completely dazed.

Zhou Zhou picked up the Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificate and the recruitment book. The rest of the materials were carried back to the entrance of the Lord’s wooden cabin.

He then instructed the couple to grill 20 units of meat for the group. Given the current harsh circumstances, they had to settle for a simple meal.

While the others departed to patrol the perimeter, Zhou Zhou examined his new acquisitions.

Since he already understood the Class Change Certificate, his focus shifted entirely to the Sword Shield Soldier Recruitment Book.

[Item Name: Sword Shield Soldier Recruitment Book] [Item Level: Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade] [Item Effect: A basic recruitment tool! By tossing this into the Gate of Summoning, you can summon a subject who is a Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Sword Shield Soldier with Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade Potential!] [Item Description: A primary source of military power for the Myriad Realm Lords. Only the most fortunate Lords can obtain such items.]

“I can actually summon a soldier out of thin air?”

Zhou Zhou’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

He hurried to the Gate of Summoning and cast the book inside.

Moments later, a man clad in standard-issue armor emerged. He carried an iron shield in his left hand and gripped a blade in his right.

“Your humble subject, Huang Shi, greets the Lord!” He bowed with deep respect.

“Rise, no need for such ceremony!” Zhou Zhou nodded.

Checking the man's attributes, he confirmed the soldier possessed Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade potential and was currently at the Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade!

Despite the low potential, Zhou Zhou was pleased. After all, his combat force had previously consisted of only two ranked soldiers!

At that moment, a daring thought struck him as he looked beyond the safety of the shield.

If every Desert Fog Lizard could drop these Recruitment Books, wouldn't he be able to build an infinite army of Sword Shield Soldiers?

His heart raced at the possibility.

However, he regained his composure, realizing the idea was somewhat flawed.

First: Desert Fog Lizards were finite. This was reality, not a video game where monsters respawned indefinitely.

Second: The vast Blazing Sun Desert surely contained other types of fog monsters.

Different creatures might not drop recruitment books at all.

Zhou Zhou summoned his final subject who lacked a profession and handed over the Class Change Certificate, transforming him into a Sword Shield Soldier as well.

He then ordered his newest recruit and Huang Shi to join Bai Yi and Zhang Cang in clearing out the nearby monsters.

Time slipped away quickly.

Two hours passed in a flash. Throughout this time, Zhou Zhou used every newly acquired Recruitment Book to summon soldiers, sending them immediately to reinforce the front lines.

By the end of those two hours, six additional Sword Shield Soldiers served under him!

Among them, five had Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade potential, while one possessed Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade potential!

His total military strength had grown to 10 soldiers!

Zhang Cang and the team had slain 18 Desert Fog Lizards, successfully purging every monster within a 100-meter radius of the barrier. The territory was now temporarily secure!

Because she had dealt the most finishing blows, Bai Yi successfully advanced to the Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade!

The total kill count included 12 Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade lizards, five Intermediate Grade, and one Elite Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade Desert Fog Lizard!

Boosted by his Lord Talent, the total loot consisted of:

52 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores, 240 units of Elementary Grade meat, 200 units of Intermediate Grade meat, and 100 units of Advance Grade Desert Fog Lizard flesh!

Additionally, they gained 37 kg of water, 18 Class Change Certificates (Gradeless), five Intermediate Grade recruitment books, and one Advance Grade recruitment book (which had been used immediately)!

The final prize was a Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade skill: Sand Stealth!

[Skill Name: Sand Stealth] [Skill Quality: Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade] [Skill Description: Manipulate the sand beneath you to submerge into the desert. This can be utilized for rapid travel, concealment, or escaping through the sub-surface.]

This skill book was the unique drop from the Elite Desert Fog Lizard.

Zhou Zhou pressed his hands against the book.

A notification appeared.

[Do you wish to learn the skill: Sand Stealth?]

“Yes!” Zhou Zhou replied.

In an instant, the book dissolved into countless golden particles, flowing into his forehead.

Zhou Zhou closed his eyes to process the knowledge. When he opened them, he felt a strange connection to the earth.

“In a desert territory like this, the Sand Stealth technique will be incredibly valuable!” Zhou Zhou was highly satisfied with his first personal skill.

He stored the remaining loot for future use.

“Reporting to my Lord! We have cleared all Desert Fog Lizards within 100 meters. No other types of fog monsters have been spotted yet.”

“Should we push further out to continue the hunt?” Bai Yi asked with a respectful bow.
