70: Chapter 70 Population Surge! System Rewards Galore!

"Chief!"

Hearing Qin Yu's question, Lin Waner immediately stepped forward and respectfully handed over the crude ledger made of animal skin in her hand.

Her pretty face carried a hint of uncontrollable excitement and a faint flush.

"The tally is complete!"

"In this battle, we killed a total of over three hundred adult male warriors from the Bloodfang Tribe!"

"Prisoners, one hundred and twelve!"

"Besides that!"

Lin Waner took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly.

"We also captured the women of the Bloodfang Tribe, totaling one hundred and eighty-three!"

"Children under twelve years old, sixty-seven!"

"In total, the new population is three hundred and sixty-two!"

Boom!

When this number was announced, not only the newly joined Survivors but even the original girls of the Dragon God Tribe couldn't help but let out a low cry of surprise!

Three hundred and sixty-two people!

What did that mean?

In their Dragon God Tribe, including Qin Yu, there were only twenty-five people in total!

This time, the Tribe's total population had directly increased more than tenfold!

This was no longer a simple conquest!

This was a complete and utter annexation!

A brand new prototype of a super Tribe, with a scale far exceeding anything before, was rising before everyone's eyes!

Qin Yu took the ledger and flipped through it casually.

On it, various resources were densely recorded in charcoal: animal skins, dried meat, ores, herbs...

The quantities were so vast that they would make anyone struggling to survive in the rainforest go mad with envy.

But Qin Yu's gaze only swept over them briefly.

These were all just extras.

His true goal was people!

Population!

This was the core of the wilderness lord system!

It was also the foundation for him to settle down and establish supreme hegemony in this wild world!

Qin Yu's gaze slowly swept across the scene.

He looked at the Bloodfang Tribe women kneeling on the ground, their bodies trembling.

They wore crude animal skins, their skin was dark, and their eyes were filled with fear and numbness.

He then looked at the five Survivor women who were also kneeling, but whose eyes were filled with complex emotions.

In their eyes, there was fear, relief, bewilderment, and more than anything, a sense of resolution from having completely surrendered their fates.

Finally, his gaze fell upon the more than one hundred Bloodfang Tribe warriors kneeling in a mass under the guard of the Valkyrie, and the eight "Civilized People" kneeling at the very front.

He slowly raised his hand.

With a cold and majestic voice, like a monarch announcing a decree, he spoke so his voice echoed throughout the camp!

"From this day forward!"

"All women and children of the Bloodfang Tribe!"

"All rescued Survivors!"

"Will officially be merged into my Dragon God Tribe!"

"You shall receive my protection and become my subjects!"

"As a price, you must offer up your everything, including your bodies, your will, and your..."

"Absolute loyalty!"

His voice seemed to carry a strange magic.

The moment his words fell!

A series of cold system notifications that Qin Yu had long awaited rang out frantically in his mind like a flash flood!

Boom—!!!

A series of system prompts, like a most violent tsunami, instantly flooded Qin Yu's consciousness!

Immediately following!

A surge of pure, terrifying energy, a hundred times more vast and majestic than any before, emerged without warning from the void. Like a breached Milky Way, it poured fiercely into his every limb and bone!

"Ugh!"

Even with Qin Yu's current physique, he was hit by this sudden, massive energy, causing him to let out a muffled groan!

He felt every one of his cells cheering! Leaping for joy!

Every muscle fiber was being torn apart and then reorganized, becoming tougher and more filled with explosive power!

Every bone was making a "crackling" sound, as if being reforged by divine metal, becoming harder than steel!

Blood surged through his vessels like a roaring great river!

Power!

Endless power!

Qin Yu suddenly clenched his fist!

Crack!

He didn't even use much force, but the surrounding air was directly compressed and exploded by the terrifying pressure formed around his fist, letting out a sharp sonic boom!

He could clearly feel his Strength, Physique, and Spirit skyrocketing at a rocket-like speed!

[Agility: 180]

[Physique: 382]

[Spirit: 151]

[Talent: Totem Eye (Elementary)]

[Free Attribute Points: 0]

Looking at the brand new, borderline perverted attributes on the system panel, a truly heartfelt, satisfied smile finally curled onto the corners of Qin Yu's mouth.

Strength 355! Physique 382!

What did that mean?

Even if an adult Tyrannosaurus Rex stood before him, he was confident he could blow its head apart with a single punch!

This was the true power of [Spreading Branches and Leaves]!

Population is power!

Women are combat strength!

Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes, and in those deep pupils, a terrifying golden light flashed and vanished.

He felt the unprecedented, explosive power within his body, and his heart was filled with an unprecedented pride of controlling everything!

His current strength had completely surpassed the realm of mortals!

He was the only God on this land!

Qin Yu's gaze slowly shifted.

Ultimately, it fell coldly upon the group of men kneeling on the ground.

One hundred and twelve savage warriors.

Eight "Civilized People."

A cold arc curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Very good."

He murmured in a voice only he could hear.

"We have the population."

"Next, is the free... labor force."

The moment the thought arose, the cold and considerate system prompt rang out again at the right time.

[Ding! Detected that the host has a large number of male prisoners of war with undetermined status!]
