Silver World(1)

For the next few days, Lan Zhu joined Liu Yang to eat with him during snack time. Which aroused the displeasure of many other students, because she usually ate with them, but the last few days were together with Liu Yang.

So, some students went to cause trouble for him, but they were stopped by Lan Zhu. They weren't able to cause problems inside the school, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't try again outside the school.

On the way home, Liu Yang stopped in an alley to beat up the twenty students who followed him. Their levels were only between five and ten, they weren't even worth killing.

None of them were very strong, otherwise, they would go to schools specializing in training Hunters or joining guilds.

But it wouldn't just stop there, some of these students had connections with Hunters who participate in guilds.

…

Liu Yang always went to the portals to train after school, but lately, he just walked to a few stores before returning home.

These actions could look suspicious because it's not the norm.

The pursuers know they've already been discovered, but they don't know if Liu Yang knows their location.

The Zombie World was already a well-known place for the guilds, but it would still take some time to complete. The Zombie Kings were still alive and reviving their dead generals and commanders.

About forty kilometers northeast of Guangzhou was another portal, but it was controlled by a guild called Steel Guards.

The guild was practically made up of members who only had points in STR and VIT attributes, so they were all tanks to beat opponents in exhausting fights.

The name of the world was called the Silver World, the name was because of the precious ores that are underground, so the world was literally one big mine to be explored. The most abundant ore is Blue Silver Ore, a type of silver mineral that has a faint blue glow and is used to forge equipment.

All surface creatures of the Silver World were already defeated, there was no respawn, so they would never appear again. Only underground there were still dangerous creatures, but many have not yet been found and some dominate parts of the excavated mines.

But before entering the Silver World, a fee must be paid.

The Steel Guards Guild charges the fee as if it was because they cleared the world before others can enter it to mine, but a forty percent fee also needs to be paid, the fee was charged for the amount of ore taken from the mines.

The Silver World was the size of a small state, but there was nothing but great deep holes scattered all around.

Unlike the Zombie World, the number of Hunters in the Silver World was several dozen times greater.

Hunters work as miners in the mines in the mountains, or they can work alone outside. Many poor Hunters came to the mines to try to gain some wealth without facing much danger.

In the portal area there was a control group to verify what was found inside the Silver World and tax it.

Anyone who tried to pass through the portal without paying the fees would be punished with the loss of their entire harvest.

Many famous guilds and governments send people to try to mine because there was a lot of demand for these items.

Unfortunately, not all was good.

The way to the biggest mines operated by the guilds was very far from the entrance of the portal, thus, a large caravan was made to transport the ore.

Occasionally, many ambushes happen because of rival guilds or thieves.

Thus, escort work was highly valued in the area.

Liu Yang hid his face again with the mask under the hood of his sweatshirt. It wasn't enough to fool those chasing him, but it was enough to fool those around him.

The instant he entered the Silver World, the system rang.

It seems like quests always change according to the situation in the world, but it can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the situation.

Current quests were just to mine the ores, there were no creatures so it was possibly safer, at least before mining.

Liu Yang had to go to the control center to get an arrival card. When he leaves, he will have to return it.

Losing the card will result in the total loss of the day's harvest.

Thus, there are many Hunters hired by the Steel Guard Guild to attack and rob the poorest and weakest Hunters. Even rival guilds do this.
