When Yi Bai, observing through the Chief of Staff's eyes, heard Chen Dafu's personal stats and talent information, his expression grew grim.
Especially when Wang Shi confirmed that Chen Dafu wasn't lying, Yi Bai's mind only had one thought:
"We must deal with this guy immediately!"
Chen Dafu's talent was simply too outrageous. According to the leaderboard, he had already destroyed 2,234 Level-0 Shelters, ranking second in the entire city, just below Yi Bai. But even so, his personal data was terrifying! Every stat surpassed 4,500 points!
This was the highest personal value Yi Bai had seen so far—far higher than even S-Class warrior Wang Shi, whose data didn't even come close to Dafu's.
"So this is the true power of an S-Class Combat Growth Talent... the potential for growth is insane!" Yi Bai thought, taking a deep breath.
"With this kind of data, he's probably first in the entire city... maybe even in the whole country!"
"No wonder he had the guts to challenge tanks and helicopters earlier. With that data, anyone would feel confident to take them on!"
Yi Bai estimated that even SS-Class talents likely couldn't match Chen Dafu's numbers. Thankfully, Yi Bai had Wang Shi, a powerful trump card, who had a special ability to deal with purely biological enemies using a unique magnetic field.
Of course, this was only because Chen Dafu hadn't fully developed yet.
Chen Dafu's greatest asset was his overwhelming personal stats, granted by his talent, but it was being countered by Wang Shi's magnetic field mechanism.
Once Chen Dafu obtained more self-preservation methods or skills immune to Wang Shi's magnetic field, he would be able to unleash his full battle potential.
But Yi Bai wasn't about to give him that chance.
"First, make him sign the covenant, then use the Parasite Talent!"
Yi Bai didn't dare waste any time. He immediately sent orders to the front line via Lin Yue.
The six covenants would tightly control Chen Dafu, offering a much higher level of suppression and control. If he refused to sign the covenant, Yi Bai would kill him without hesitation.
Wang Shi, upon receiving the command, immediately turned to Chen Dafu and spoke calmly:
"I now inform you of the preliminary investigation and treatment results as signed by the Chief of Staff. Given your notorious deeds on the leaderboard, where you've killed countless survivors and destroyed many shelters, you should be sentenced to death."
"However, considering the current special circumstances, humanity must unite in these apocalyptic times."
"For special talents like you, we can offer a special amnesty. You will be spared the death penalty, but the living penalty remains!"
"Now, I give you the opportunity to sign a special covenant, where you will be assigned by the Chief of Staff to help resist the apocalypse and liberate our people in the days to come."
"Chen Dafu, do you accept this arrangement?"
Wang Shi asked in a deep voice. After a moment of silence, Chen Dafu asked, "The special covenant and assignment... it's something I can't refuse, right? Is it some kind of special mechanism?"
"Yes." Wang Shi didn't bother to lie. He nodded, then asked sternly, "Chen Dafu, will you accept the treatment results?"
"Can I refuse?"
Chen Dafu let out a bitter laugh, "If I refuse, the Chief behind you will probably just have you kill me directly, right?"
"I remember the mysterious number one on the leaderboard for unnameable shelters... their methods certainly won't allow someone like me to exist."
"I accept."
Chen Dafu took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and spoke those words, his body suddenly feeling like all strength had left him. He lowered his head, silent.
He was a smart man. He knew what would happen if he resisted. He had tried to rebel during the time he had, but all attempts had failed.
For the first time, Chen Dafu felt truly lost. Despite possessing such overwhelming stats, he couldn't even stand up to the soldiers before him.
Wasn't unlimited power supposed to be the ultimate path in the endgame?
Soon, Chen Dafu saw a new message pop up.
[The Unnamed Shelter invites you to sign a vassal agreement. Do you agree to sign the agreement?]
[Below are the details of the agreement. Both parties must fully understand and agree to the terms while in a clear state of mind. No deception or concealment is allowed during the signing:]
[This agreement includes six major clauses, with potential for more to be added later. Currently, it includes the 'No Harm' clause, the 'Feeding' clause, and the 'Positioning' clause...]
Chen Dafu silently studied the dense text of the agreement. The more he read, the more bitter he became.
Signing this agreement meant he would have no chance to resist the mysterious Chief behind it.
The "No Harm Agreement," "Talent Agreement," and "Safety Agreement" alone would give the Chief complete control over him.
Resistance? It was impossible!
Refuse?
That would mean instant death!
Chen Dafu couldn't refuse. He cherished the opportunity to grow stronger in the apocalypse. He didn't want to die just yet.
Even if he would forever live under the thumb of one person, at least he would be alive.
"Only second to one man... I can live with that. He must value my combat strength, so... this result isn't so bad after all."
Chen Dafu silently comforted himself, then raised his head and nodded at Wang Shi. "I agree to sign the covenant and become a vassal."
As soon as he confirmed, Yi Bai received the notification:
The covenant has been successfully signed.
