Lin Mo hadn't expected Wang Ze to call out to him.
But after thinking it over, he understood.
This guy must have seen that he started with 10 attribute points and believed he could suppress him, so he wanted to recruit him to work for him.
Lin Mo didn't refuse and smoothly walked over to stand behind Wang Ze.
Wang Ze's lips curled into a slight smile, seemingly satisfied with Lin Mo's understanding of the situation.
"Very good, you know what's what. Rest assured, once I dominate the academy, you'll be my right-hand man."
He patted Lin Mo's shoulder as he spoke.
The reason Wang Ze recruited Lin Mo wasn't just because of those initial 10 attribute points.
Firstly, because Lin Mo was ruthless enough to be the first to step up and kill a monster.
Secondly, because he was smart enough to start clearing the battlefield immediately after the fight, preparing for the next battle.
Lastly, and importantly, he thought Lin Mo had enough self-awareness to know what he should do.
In this future apocalyptic world, he needed such obedient and loyal "dogs."
First, let's start by conquering this academy...
Wang Ze thought to himself.
The other God-Forsaken looked envious when they saw Lin Mo standing next to Wang Ze.
They could only shakily hold chairs or brooms and stand at the classroom door.
Lin Mo coldly watched everything unfold, having anticipated this.
In a way, Wang Ze and the others' decision was smart and correct.
In the apocalypse, you must use everything you can.
Sympathy, pity?
Such emotions would only harm oneself.
[Second Beast Tide Countdown: 3, 2...]
[1]
As the countdown ended, the roars of monsters echoed again.
Nock Fiends appeared at the classroom door, but due to the earlier arrangements, the door and windows were piled with desks and chairs, temporarily blocking their attack.
"Great opportunity, kill them!"
Wang Ze's eyes lit up, seeing that the "defensive wall" was indeed effective, and began ordering those with ranged abilities to attack.
"Fireball!"
"Wind Blade!"
"Ice Arrow!"
"..."
Small skills targeted the Nock Fiends at the windows.
The Nock Fiends stuck by the desks were easier to hit than those moving nimbly on the ground, and several small skills hit them accurately.
"I hit it! Haha! I hit it!"
Someone cheered.
But before they could celebrate for long, the Nock Fiends broke through the not-so-sturdy "defensive wall" and charged into the classroom.
"Ah!!! Help!"
The God-Forsaken at the front panicked and attacked with their "weapons."
But the number of monsters in the second Beast Tide was noticeably more than the first, with at least twenty already in the classroom and more Fiends pouring in.
Several God-Forsaken were quickly knocked down and mauled by the Fiends.
The Godblessed standing a bit further back were also trembling, casting skills haphazardly.
Wang Ze snorted coldly at the sight: "You, follow me!"
With that, he charged forward with nothing but his fists.
With his C-rank Strength Amplification, he quickly crushed a Fiend's chest, the sound of bones breaking echoing.
The Nock Fiend spewed blood from its mouth and fell backward.
"Brother Wang is awesome!"
"Brother Wang is so strong!"
Someone in the crowd cheered.
Wang Ze, like a general leading the charge, shouted angrily:
"Everyone, no retreat! Kill them!"
And indeed, with him setting the example, the other Godblessed gathered their courage and followed him.
The students performed much better than during the first Beast Tide, handling the situation more smoothly.
Wang Ze watched this scene with satisfaction, but soon furrowed his brows.
He still hadn't received any attribute rewards, just like with the first Beast Tide.
Each Nock Fiend only added 10 minutes of time, nothing else.
"So, aside from the first monster, all other kill rewards are the same?"
He suddenly regretted not being the first to rush out and kill the monsters.
Clearly, his strength was greater!
Wang Ze turned to look at Lin Mo, who was still using a chair to attack the Fiends.
His strength seemed a bit stronger than before, but not much different from the other Godblessed.
"Hmph, even with 10 attribute points, he's still such a waste!"
He snorted inwardly:
"But that's good. If someone like him were too strong, it would be inconvenient for me to control."
After a brief observation, Wang Ze rejoined the battle.
The second Beast Tide had around 50 monsters, slightly more than the number of Godblessed in the class, but because they had arranged their formation in advance, they handled it more calmly.
In just over ten minutes, the Nock Fiends in the classroom were nearly cleared out.
At this moment, a notification sounded in the ears of all players in Novice Zone 911:
[Ding! Congratulations to Yan Zhou for becoming the first novice in Novice Zone 911 to successfully reach Level 2. Reward: Attribute +10, Time +1 day.]
As this news spread, the students in the class were shocked.
"Damn, someone leveled up?"
They looked astonished, including Wang Ze.
The second Beast Tide was almost over, yet their levels were still stuck at Level 1, showing no signs of increasing.
While everyone was in disbelief, the system notification sounded again:
[Ding! Regional Chat Channel for Novice Zone 911 is now open.]
The chat channel opened, and the timing was similar to the previous life...
Lin Mo felt a stir in his heart as the chat channel automatically appeared before him.
"You can really send messages, hahaha, hello everyone, I'm a sophomore in Information Technology at South Mountain Academy!"
"What a coincidence, I'm also from South Mountain Academy."
"Does anyone's phone still have a signal? Can you contact the outside world?"
"I don't know, our class's phones and computers have no signal, except for this chat channel, it feels impossible to connect with the outside world."
"Same here, those monsters are terrifying, our class just cleared the second wave of monsters."
"Ugh, I'm scared, can anyone save me, almost all my classmates are dead."
"Can't even get out of the classroom door, how to save?"
"Sigh, our class also suffered heavy casualties, these monsters are too terrifying."
"..."
At this time, the monsters in Classroom 208 were also cleared, and everyone's attention immediately turned to the chat channel.
"Is Novice Zone 911 the range of South Mountain Academy?"
"Seems like it, all from the same academy."
Through the chat channel messages, most students deduced that the range of Novice Zone 911 was roughly South Mountain Academy.
Besides students, there were also a few faculty members sending messages.
However, even the teachers were in a precarious state, unable to lead everyone or point the way.
Soon, someone asked again in the chat channel.
"By the way, Yan Zhou actually leveled up to Level 2, so strong, what's your talent?"
"Yeah, we've killed two waves of monsters, but still stuck at Level 1, this game is unreasonable."
"Yan Zhou, are you there? Can you tell us how you leveled up?"
After much anticipation, Yan Zhou finally appeared.
[Yan Zhou]: "Hello everyone, my talent is B-rank Thunderfire."
"Damn, B-rank talent! The highest in our class is only D-rank."
"Our class is worse, the only C-rank died in the first Beast Tide."
"Jealous to the point of turning purple!"
"..."
The chat channel was filled with praise.
Yan Zhou seemed to particularly enjoy this feeling, openly sharing the method to level up.
[Yan Zhou]: "Listen up, everyone. Killing monsters grants time, and when time reaches over 6 hours, you can evolve and level up."
"Each monster only adds 10 minutes, so Yan Zhou killed 30 monsters in two Beast Tides!? Terrifying!"
"Terrifying +1!"
"Terrifying +10086!"
"..."
