Under One Person, the system says I'm the Pirate King.

At this moment, Zhang Chulan was curled up in the grave pit, looking extremely frightened.

Two minutes ago, he saw Feng Baobao leave with Qin Lang, and he had an idea to use his superpower to deal with the group of zombies in front of him.

But just to be on the safe side, he still yelled, trying to see if anyone else was around.

Just a minute after he shouted and was about to take action, he heard faint thumping sounds coming from afar.

He quickly regained his fearful expression and hid in the pit to observe secretly.

Soon he saw a dark dot gradually grow larger in the distant sky under the cold moonlight, and quickly arrive above his location like a bird.

After seeing the person's appearance clearly, he was filled with doubt:

Is that the man who was just carried away by the crazy woman?

Just a few minutes ago he looked completely helpless, how come now...?

After a brief moment of shock, Zhang Chulan quickly composed himself.

In his view, this situation was not unusual.

Not long after his father disappeared, a number of strange people began to appear around him.

The cleaner at the orphanage, the uncle selling jianbing (Chinese crepes) next to the school gate, the driver of the bus I take to and from school... and so on.

These people may seem like ordinary people, but they give Zhang Chulan a strange feeling.

He couldn't explain what the feeling was, but he knew these people were definitely not ordinary people.

Then I recalled what my father said about the "enemy" at my grandfather's grave before he disappeared.

He naturally wouldn't consider Qin Lang to be a fellow "pit buddy" who had been buried with him.

[Hate level with Monkey D. Luffy increased by 5, rewarding 50 bond points.]

"Huh? Luffy? Who's that?"

Qin Lang, who had just arrived in the sky, saw this system notification.

He was a little confused.

I haven't done anything yet, so how did I increase my hatred level? And it's Luffy's hatred level.

However, he soon saw Zhang Chulan, who appeared to be trembling in the pit.

Zhang Chulan?

Did the system mistake him for Luffy?

As protagonists from two different worlds, it's understandable that the system mistook Zhang Chulan for Luffy.

After having this idea, Qin Lang, who was familiar with the plot of Under One Person, immediately understood.

Zhang Chulan is a naturally suspicious and cautious guy. The fact that he, who was just an ordinary person, suddenly became a "superman" who can fly in the sky naturally aroused his suspicion.

He must have thought of himself as the treacherous person Zhang Yude described, someone who wanted to harm him.

This perfectly confirms what I had just thought.

You can gain affinity points by interacting with others, whether they are your enemies or friends.

At this moment, Qin Lang suddenly thought that if he could make the other person's attitude towards him fluctuate between hatred and liking, wouldn't he be able to exploit them indefinitely?

With that in mind, he began to take action.

He flicked his finger and unleashed a [Tangent] attack directly at the zombies surrounding Zhang Chulan.

Zhang Chulan, who was originally huddled in the grave pit, was recalling his grandfather's teachings and decided to take a desperate gamble and use his supernatural abilities to save his life and escape.

Before he could even activate his innate Qi, accompanied by a few soft "whoosh" sounds, he saw several living corpses approaching him being neatly shattered into pieces and scattered around the grave pit, as if cut by invisible sharp blades.

About ten undead men who were walking toward him in the distance suddenly stopped, then scattered and left the grave where he was.

Doubt, shock, and fear were mixed together, making his feelings very complicated.

But more than a decade of forbearance had taught him to disguise himself.

He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Lang in the air:

"Hey bro, did you take down these zombies?"

You are my savior!

The crazy woman and the zombie that suddenly appeared almost scared me to death.

Did you get rid of that crazy woman?

"If I had known you were this good, I wouldn't have been afraid!"

On the other side, after using the [Parasitic Thread] to control the remaining ten zombies, Qin Lang looked down at Zhang Chulan, who was kneeling before him.

He couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

You truly are shameless; your kneeling is so smooth. It's just a pity that your mouth is a lying devil.

[Hate level with Monkey D. Luffy increased by 3, rewarding 30 bond points.]

[Hate level with Perona increased by 25, rewarding 250 bond points.]

[Hate level with Monkey D. Luffy increased by 2, rewarding 20 bond points.]

[Hate level with Monkey D. Luffy increased by 2, rewarding 20 bond points.]

[Hate level with Perona increased by 10, rewarding 100 bond points.]

[Hate level with Perona has reached 35, unlocking achievement: Hatred. Reward: 100 Bond Points and one Spirit Fruit Trial Card.]

At first glance, all that's increased is hatred.

Qin Lang's original plan to exploit the system indefinitely also failed.

However, he was now confident because of the power of the String-String Fruit, and he no longer felt the tension and timidity he had when he first transmigrated.

They can also calmly analyze the current situation.

He originally thought that saving Zhang Chulan would win his favor, but he clearly underestimated Zhang Chulan's caution.

He guessed that the reason Zhang Chulan was so hostile towards him was probably because the other party thought that he should deal with him after dealing with the zombies.

That's why he immediately slid to his knees to show his "loyalty".

However, Qin Lang didn't care about the other party's hypocrisy, since the bond points he wanted most had already arrived.

Judging from the increase in the level of hatred, the other party was only hesitating and testing the waters.

There's no need for me to be so ruthless.

Moreover, although Zhang Chulan may seem useless now, he has already mastered the Thunder Magic White Insect technique.

It's hard to say whether I can win with the ability I just acquired and only have three minutes to use.

I won't do things that don't benefit me.

So, without lingering, he said in a deliberately profound tone:

"Kid, you'd better watch yourself."

After saying that, he slipped away.

Of course, the reason for leaving in a hurry was that there were more important things to do.

Just now, when he had dismembered several zombies and when he was controlling the remaining ten zombies with the parasitic filament, he received two notifications about the increase in "Perona's" hatred value.

Moreover, the increase was quite substantial.

This ultimately activated the "Disgust" achievement, earning a reward.

Then Perona's identity is obvious; she is most likely the person controlling the zombies—Liu Yanyan.

Just now, because I had just transmigrated, my mind was a bit confused, and I hadn't sorted things out, which is why I was so distracted.

Now that Perona's identity has been confirmed, it's natural to try to recruit her, since the only way to obtain "combat power" at this stage is through system missions.

Compared to the meticulous Zhang Chulan, the naive and innocent Liu Yanyan is much easier to deal with.

While pursuing Liu Yanyan, the system issued another notification:

[Affection with Monkey D. Luffy +8, reward: 80 Bond Points.]

"Hehe, plan in progress."
