Chapter 359 - 318: Lin Yue, he should be the most terrifying survivor in this Otherworld

Blast Crossbow Carriage Arrow!

A high-damage weapon with massive area destruction capability!

With the invention of gunpowder, he realized he had taken a major step towards the development of firearms!

Although he indeed has pistols, submachine guns, sniper rifles, and shotguns, even powerful explosive weapons like RPG.

But this kind of wide-range area destruction weapon like the Blast Crossbow Carriage Arrow, with readily available raw materials and the ability for full-scale production, is something he possesses for the first time!

"Tomorrow, I’m going to the Secret Realm to test the power of this new weapon! Moreover, I must gather supplies; if I want to establish a robot dog army, various parts are indispensable."

Lin Yue thought while continuously making gunpowder.

When he ran out of sulfur, he went to the warehouse for more; when charcoal ran out, he spent survival points to buy it in the marketplace; he had plenty of saltpeter on hand.

The Crossbow Carriage Arrow required steel and wood, both of which he had in abundance, so production was quite smooth.

Before long, Lin Yue had 150 portions of gunpowder, 30 portions of steel ball explosive, and 10 units of Blast Crossbow Carriage Arrow in stock!

His supply of saltpeter was running low, and the true power of the Blast Crossbow Carriage Arrow needed experimentation, so he didn’t convert all the gunpowder into steel ball explosives or mass-produce the Blast Crossbow Carriage Arrow.

It’s not too late to mass-produce after confirming the power of the Blast Crossbow Carriage Arrow.

Finishing these tasks, Lin Yue suddenly remembered something.

He opened the system panel and sent a message to Fei Yue.

"Are you back? How was the harvest?"

He quickly received a reply.

"Domineering People, we just returned not long ago, but we have another achievement, it’s quite significant."

Fei Yue’s reply came immediately.

The so-called significant achievement he mentioned piqued Lin Yue’s interest.

And they just returned? It’s been dark for a while; isn’t it dangerous being in the Secret Realm for so long?

Hold on, why am I concerned about them?

Lin Yue suddenly felt something was off.

Why am I concerned about them?

The Domineering People merely assigns tasks and exchanges items, yet now I’m worried about this group’s safety...

They have their own leader, right? My relationship with them has been rather detached, hasn’t it?

But what’s going on now?

Lin Yue felt he was somehow caught in a carefully designed trap.

Meng Yutang...

Ah, good grief.

Lin Yue slapped his hand suddenly, instantly realizing.

It’s power, power has come.

Old man Meng Yutang... this move is brilliant.

Using the so-called "Domineering People" title to lure him, because to him, as long as he wants faster development and to become stronger, he will be restricted by various material and resources.

Just like the alloys he needs now, the organic glass, and the asphalt pavement, these are his "desires".

He wants to fulfill these desires, so he uses items that are not very important to him—such as wine and various vegetables, and previous items like the Iron Armor Design Map—to exchange for the things he must have, thus completely establishing a "power hierarchy" relationship with Fei Yue’s Refugee Village.

And this relationship will deepen as the cooperation’s duration and frequency increase.

As the degree of deepening increases, problems arise.

As a nominally simple task issuer, Domineering People, if you think carefully, has Fei Yue repeatedly calling "Domineering People" already given him any psychological satisfaction of power?

After all, between him and Fei Yue, the Refugee Village’s leader, it’s just like this state—"Fei Yue, the stuff?" "Domineering People, we have."

Simple yet complex, connections loose yet tight.

In the ongoing exchange process, he will no longer be able to disregard Fei Yue’s Refugee Village, continuing like this, he might become the de facto leader of this Refugee Village.

If someone gets hurt or dies, he would develop a sense of crisis or unconsciously have thoughts of assisting Fei Yue’s Refugee Village.

Over time, this relationship and thought process will become more natural with continual task assignment, making it seem more justified.

It appears to be just a task issuer, Domineering People, but in reality, is the leader with hidden "power"!

He unwittingly became the actual leader among the repeated calls of "Domineering People".

Good grief, this tactic is ingenious.

But for him, it’s also disastrous.

Originally wanting a free, unrestrained life, suddenly bound by this and can’t get free!

Meng Yutang, what an incredible old man.

"Domineering People, this matter is significant, I feel I must explain it to you." Fei Yue continued to say.

"Fei Yue, let’s pause this topic, I have a more urgent matter to discuss." Lin Yue took a deep breath, he felt he couldn’t continue like this.

This needs to be clarified and sorted out.

Otherwise, he’d truly fall into people’s traps.

What Domineering People, this thing is too intense, every single time.

"Domineering People?" Fei Yue, puzzled by what happened, asked again.

Lin Yue took a deep breath: "From now on, you can stop calling me Domineering People; I don’t like being called that."

Fei Yue couldn’t understand at all, did Lin Yue get mad? Why? Did we do something wrong?

"Just call me Lin Yue from now on, I don’t want any kind of hierarchy called between us. Although I accepted your proposal to be the Domineering People, I’m not your Shelter’s actual ruler; you’re still the leader, Fei Yue, and this needs clarity."

Fei Yue saw this message, widened his eyes, and recalled what Meng Yutang once told him.

Lin Yue is a sober person, but one day he’ll also think about breaking free from this initial "trap".

Power is something everyone desires, and Lin Yue will not be exempt. As long as he agreed to the identity of "Domineering People," even if the power is just limited to task issuing and exchanges, he would fall into the abyss of this power, and perhaps forever sink into it.

Over time, with deepening connections and transactions, he couldn’t leave behind the Refugee Village, eventually changing from a nominal position to the real leader.

In Meng Yutang’s view, Lin Yue could be the one to save all humanity and could start this path as the Domineering People of Refugee Village, ultimately achieving this monumental feat!

Yet despite Meng Yutang’s insight, he couldn’t fully see through Lin Yue.

Having agreed to "Domineering People" role for just a few days, Lin Yue was already clear-minded, perhaps understanding Meng Yutang’s laying strategy.

"Domineering People, but you are Domineering People." Fei Yue thought he had to make a desperate effort; Lin Yue was indeed a terrifying person.

Strong, pursuing perfection, quick-minded, and strategic.

Now, in the face of such vast power, especially hidden power temptation, he still maintains this level of clarity?

Who is Lin Yue, really?
