Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 403, Two Divine Grade Treasure Maps

Translator: Silavin

Ye Wuxian had already dismissed the Ye Family members from the Ye Family Residence. Thus, in the great hall, only she and Lu Fan remained – along with Loong Erhu and others from the Loong Family.

Naturally, those from the Loong Family were all dead. The Loong Erhu and others in front of the pair were not people but rather Fallen Corpse Puppets.

Everyone present was a Third Profession Player. Following the principle that even a mosquito’s leg was meat, Lu Fan naturally would not want to waste them. Thus, he had directly turned all of them into Fallen Corpse Puppets, then had a Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon King absorb them as Attribute Points.

As for Loong Erhu, Lu Fan had kept him, and him alone.

Loong Erhu was a Fourth Profession Player, with strength far surpassing the Five National Guardians. Such Combat Power would be too wasteful to be absorbed into Attribute Points.

Conveniently, Lu Fan also hoped that within his army of Fallen Corpse Puppets, there would be more than just Monsters—having Players would be good too.

Compared to Bosses, although Players had inferior Attributes, their combat capabilities were no less than Bosses.

How was that the case?

With a team of Players with a proper combination of Professions that strengthen their strengths and cover up for their individual weaknesses, they could easily kill Bosses.

Lu Fan intended to assemble such a team of Fallen Corpse Puppet Players. For now, Loong Erhu was an indispensable member of this ‘team’.

Currently among Lu Fan’s Fallen Corpse Puppets, besides the Five National Guardians, there was also Jin Qingxing, the strongest Player in Extremistis Country’s Royal Palace.

Among these six, three were Warriors, an Archer, a Mage, and a unique case: Jin Zaixi had a more versatile Profession, a Transformation Type.

In terms of Damage Output, they certainly had enough, but their defensive capabilities still had many shortcomings.

Even among these six, the most capable frontline fighter was a burly man whose Profession was Hellblood Axe, somewhat similar to the War God Profession, but definitely not as capable of a Tank as Loong Erhu.

After turning Loong Erhu into a Fallen Corpse Puppet, Lu Fan could see Loong Erhu’s Attributes and Skills.

Upon understanding Loong Erhu’s capabilities, Lu Fan thought it fortunate that he had obtained Ye Sha. Otherwise, killing him would have required quite a lot of effort.

This man’s Skills were all focused on increasing Defence, Resistance, Damage Reduction, and Shields. He was even more annoying, and durable than a Holy Shield Knight!

With Loong Erhu now on the ‘team’, Lu Fan’s Fallen Corpse Puppet Fourth Profession Players reached a total of seven. Not to mention anything else, just these seven Fallen Corpse Puppets could stir up bloody storms in countries like Extremistis Country or Cherry Blossom Country.

Of course, this was merely the beginning.

The Huang and Loong Families still had many Fourth Profession Players. If all of these people could be collected as Fallen Corpse Puppets, Lu Fan’s army of Fourth Profession Players would become even more massive.

[This trip to the Western Border had yielded quite a harvest already…] As Lu Fan was contemplating this, just as he was about to return Loong Erhu to the Puppet Sub-Space, the System’s voice arrived right on schedule. It was to deliver another Mid Grade Treasure Map to Lu Fan.

Currently, Lu Fan’s System Sub-Space already stored many Treasure Maps. Some Treasure Maps were of unknown locations. Naturally, many had been synthesized by Lu Fan, ultimately combining into a Divine Grade Treasure Map.

However, this Treasure Map’s coordinates of (184,572) was at somewhere called the ‘Flying Immortal Ancient Shrine’, which Lu Fan had no idea where it was located.

Seeing that the Map Coordinates only had three digits in each field, Lu Fan knew the Flying Immortal Ancient Shrine was not that large, most likely some Small Dungeon Instance or Secret Realm.

For such a Small Map, knowing its location would be even more impossible. If not for it being a Divine Grade Treasure Map, Lu Fan would definitely have synthesized it with other Maps.

Thus, this Divine Grade Treasure Map could only be stored in Lu Fan’s System Sub-Space, buried at the bottom.

Now that Lu Fan had acquired another Mid Grade Treasure Map, he gathered the other Maps he could not claim, which could still be synthesized into Higher Grade Maps.

Lu Fan proceeded directly, synthesizing them one by one, and finally, another Divine Grade Treasure Map appeared in the System Sub-Space.

When Lu Fan saw this Map’s coordinates, he was first stunned, then overjoyed.

Because this Divine Grade Treasure Map’s coordinates were actually in the Western Border!

Moreover, it seemed not too far from Ye County, only a few hundred kilometres away.

This was truly an unexpected delight.

Lu Fan memorized the coordinates, planning to go to the location to claim the Map as soon as he had the time.

Who knew what would be unearthed from this Divine Grade Treasure Map? If another Dragon Egg could be claimed, that would be an absolute jackpot!

Currently, Lu Fan’s Pet Sub-Space still had one empty slot—if he obtained a Dragon Egg, it could be immediately hatched.

At this moment, perhaps seeing Lu Fan’s smiling expression, Ye Wuxian teased from the side. “What? Feeling a bit cocky after killing Loong Erhu?”

Lu Fan came back to his senses, glanced at Ye Wuxian and smiled. “He is merely a Fourth Profession Player. What’s there to be cocky about? Senior Sister, do you think I am that superficial?”

“Good that you’re not cocky.” Ye Wuxian said, “But speaking of which, I really didn’t expect you to be so decisive in killing. Unlike you, I’ve long despised him. Previously, he had led a few of his men to kill off several of our Ye Family Players. They were all above Level 80, and he did it solely to pressure me. Unfortunately, I lacked the strength to get revenge, and was more worried about provoking even more frenzied retaliation from the Loong Family.”

“But now, he has been dealt with. Now, those who got killed by him can rest in peace.” Ye Wuxian sighed, then forced a smile and continued. “But, your actions today have established a blood feud. Originally, killings between the Three Families were all handled behind the scenes. We had held back to maintain some ‘face’ since we are all Ancient Noble Families, and avoided openly killing each other. But now that the Loong Family had lost a Fourth Profession Player, killed out in the open, they are most likely going to formally declare war on the Ye Family…”

Lu Fan smiled and said. “If it’s a formal war then so be it. I’m not the type to beat around the bush. Not when we are dealing with the Loong Family and Huang Family. If we keep speaking with hidden meanings and double standards, how exhausting will that be? I prefer doing things in a straightforward manner. They want the Ye Family and I want to protect your Ye Family. The easiest way is to subdue them, no?”

“You! This isn’t just subduing them. You are practically planning to kill the Loong Family and Huang Family in one blow!” Ye Wuxian chuckled, then solemnly said, “But, what you say indeed makes sense. Rather than playing mind games with these two Families, it’s better to put everything out in the open and see whose fists are harder. In the end, isn’t this what determines the fate of the three Ancient Noble Families?”

“No matter what, all Ye Family members, including me, will follow every decision you make! Even if something terrible happens and the Ye Family ceases to exist, I won’t regret following what you decide to do!”

Lu Fan could tell that Ye Wuxian was being genuine, She was truly entrusting everything to him.

Just as he was about to speak, there was some commotion outside the hall, followed by the Butler hurried arrival, saying at the hall entrance, “Young Mistress! The Huang Family has arrived! Huang Yutian personally led a group Players, and upon arriving, they forced their way into our Ye Family Residence without a word. Right now, no one is capable of stopping them…”
