Chapter 218: Metal
Once again, Shane obtained a lot of Unknown but safe meat from the Flasher Zombies. Then, he also gained hundreds of Strength Enhancement Bottles!
At this point, he was worried that he would get addicted to this drug, which could make him stronger!
Anyway, now that he had a lot of these
Of course, Shane didn't loot all of Jumper Zombies as they could give a decent experience to others. There were also too many of them, and he didn't mind giving them to others.
Then, after feeling satisfied, he also started looting the Zombies they had killed earlier.
They were the 20 Tyrant Zombies that he had also eliminated using his Laser Sniper Rifle.
Shane then swiftly looted these zombies and obtained incredible rewards.
[ You have earned 55 Experience Points. ] x2
[ Loots obtained: Item Upgrade Crystals x2, Zombie Cores x2, Bread x2, 100mL Tyrant Zombie Blood, Spirit Enhancement Bottle x1, Corrupted Hearthstone x1 ]
Then, after he looted the 17th Tyrant Zombie, Shane received a notification from the system!
[ You have leveled up. ]
[ You are now level 24. ]
[ You have obtained 90% Off Vouchers x3 ]
"Three 90 percent off vouchers? Not bad…" Shane muttered after seeing the simple reward that was given to him after advancing to a new level.
He wasn't disappointed with this, and he was even quite glad. After all, his level 22 reward had given him a lot more options in the Survivor Store, and he knew that he would be spending tons of Zombies Cores because of that.
The vouchers he obtained just now would be a great help for him in saving more cores.
Finally, he started looting the 10 Survivor Zombies.
[ You have earned 60 Experience Points. ] x2
[ You have earned 1 Reputation Point. ]
[ Loots obtained: Item Upgrade Crystal x2, Zombie Cores x2, 500mL Water, Bread x5, Revolver ( Uncommon ), Deadly Punch Skill, Smelly Breath Talent ]
[ You have reached the limit of Survivor Talents. Smelly Breath Talent ( Uncommon ) was not added. ]
[ Do you want to remove one of your current Survivor Talents to accommodate the Smelly Breath Talent? ]
[ Hint: You can only have 4 Survivor Talents, but you can check the Reputation Store occasionally, and perhaps you'll find a Talent Expansion Pack! ]
With this, Shane looted skills like Climbing, Mining, Tracking, Firearm Mastery, and others that he already had, so it was quite disappointing. It was the same with the talents since they were only Uncommon or Rare ones. They weren't impressive at all.
Even the random items were quite simple, like a revolver, a piece of clothing, a bag, or even some accessories.
Nonetheless, the last Survivor Zombie he looted was quite special.
[ You have earned 60 Experience Points. ] x2
[ You have earned 1 Reputation Point. ]
[ Loots obtained: Item Upgrade Crystal x2, Zombie Cores x2, 500mL Water, Bread x5, Polymorphium Metal x5, Mining Skill, Random Luck Talent ]
The Polymorphium Metal had certainly intrigued Shane so he quickly checked it in his inventory.
[ Polymorphium Metal: This is an epic and mysterious raw material coveted by master blacksmiths for its unique properties. Found only in the deepest caverns of the world, this enigmatic metal possesses the extraordinary ability to change its shape and form in response to external stimuli.
Remarks: Crafting with Polymorphium Metal requires a certain level of skill, as the metal itself seems to possess a will of its own. Only the most talented blacksmiths can harness its potential, unlocking the true extent of its capabilities.
Hint: Weapons forged from Polymorphium Metal could shift it form. From a razor-sharp sword to a mighty warhammer, or even a defensive shield in the blink of an eye. The wielder's will becomes the catalyst for the metal's transformation, granting them unparalleled flexibility and strategic advantage on the battlefield. ]
"A weapon that can change its shape?" Shane's eyes widened after he saw its description!
There were even five units of this metal! He just hit a jackpot!
As expected, these Survivor Zombies were generous!
He wanted to take a quick look on it, so he swiftly retrieved the item from his Inventory.
Soon, he held a stone that was the size of three adult's fists.
His fingers brushed against it, and it had a cool, metallic surface.
It actually seemed like an unassuming piece of metal. He could barely hold it with one hand but with his current strength, it was quite easy to life.
"What is it?" Eldrin asked, peering over his shoulder. This elf seemed really curious as he could feel something off from this metal.
Shane turned it in his hand. "A polymorphium metal… It's also the first time I've seen this" he said. "It can change shape—morph into different forms. Imagine the possibilities."
The elves exchanged glances. "That's very interesting… It could be a useful tool for blacksmiths or carpenters as well." Thalion commented after some thoughts.
"I'm thinking of making weapons out of this but that made sense."
Shane then shrugged. "We'll find out," he said. "But for now, let's keep it close. I still have to ask if Leo can work on this one. It has a high requirement before it can be forged."
The elves were curious about this metal since even in their Fairy Realm, there was nothing similar to this kind of item.
Anyway, after the Zombies were looted, Gene soon approached Shane and whispered the news to him.
"What?" Shane was shocked.
There were actually two individuals from the Survivors they rescued who were injured by Zombies and had the possibility of turning!
These two are Alex and Rahman...
Alex had scratches of zombies on his chest while Rahman's ankles was held by a Crawler Zombie to the point that it started bleeding. It could be seen that the Crawler Zombie's hands dug deep into Rahman's ankles!
They were currently isolated, and they wanted to ask Shane what to do with them.
"Alex and Rahman," Shane repeated, his mind racing.
He knew that he could not ignore or take this matter lightly. The undead's curse or virus could be swift and unforgiving.
"Take me to them." Shane said as he also started talking to Cloud.
