Chapter 56 Better Set
[ Raze: I will be there for sure! I wonder what kind of items will be auctioned there. I'm sure the currency will still be Zombie Cores. Do you think 100 Zombies Cores will let me purchase some good things there? ] [ Chris: Wow! You have a lot of Zombie Cores! Is that a reward from the previous Zombie Wave? How did you get so many of them? ] [ Mark Sol: I only have 9 Zombie Cores left. I used most of them to buy Item Upgrade Crystals. ] [ Maine: You're lucky that your store is selling them… I have only collected 8 Item Upgrade Crystals since the very beginning! How am I supposed to live with this?! I hope each level up will increase my Luck! ] [ Chris: Dream on. The luck stat doesn't exist. I think it's about the way you kill the zombie. If they were killed with great difficulty, they wouldn't drop nice things. ] [ Kelly: I think that's the opposite… Anyway, I hope I'm included in the top 1,000. I'm going to show off my Tier 2 Scavenger Set! Hehehe… ] [ Jake Richard: You will be a laughing stock. Everyone should be wearing at least a Tier 3 Hunter Set within 15 days. ] [ Galatea: Are you telling me that the Hunter Set is better than the Scavenger Set? ] [ Travis: Guys! I am Travis, a Legendary Talent Holder. I'm telling you right now that the best set is just the Survivor Set. The one given to us at the beginner. However, you must upgrade them to Tier 5 to see their full potential. ] [ Kelly: Don't believe him! Don't waste your Item Upgrade Crystals on that beginner set! ] [ Travis: I can't prove this yet since I don't have enough Item Upgrade Crystals. However, this is definitely true. I got a hint after completing a hidden task! ] [ Lorna: Hi! I'm Lorna… I have a Rare Talent that guarantees a drop of Item Upgrade Crystal in every 10 Zombies I kill in addition to its normal drop rate. I hope to trade some of them in exchange for Zombie Cores. 50 Zombies Cores for 1 Item Upgrade Crystal. ]
[ Galatea: Wow! Why don't you just rob us? ] [ Travis: Miss Lorna, I think that's too unfair. I will consider it if you trade 1 Crystal for 10 Zombie Cores. ]
[ Lorna: My offer isn't for the poor. Please add me as a friend if you agree to my rate. You will be blacklisted if you waste my time. ] After reading some of their conversations, Shane decided to turn his attention to his friends. Over the past few days, he actually accepted a few of them.
Right now, aside from Raze, he added Herman, the one with Magic Crafting Talent, Travis, the one who wanted to create a huge shelter, and Clarissa, who had a Telekinesis Talent. There were different reasons for adding them.
He wanted Raze's information on how to deal with the Tyrant Zombie and other Zombies that live in the sewers. Herman's Magic Crafting Talent, on the other hand, would give him a decent idea about how great his Otherworldly Mechanic Talent. As for Travis, Shane accepted his friend request since he believed that aside from being ambitious, Travis wasn't a bad person. Lastly, he felt that Clarissa's Telekinesis was quite decent, so he accepted her as a friend.
Soon, he realized that all of them had sent private messages.
[ Raze: Shane! Just like what you mentioned, my tent got the Zombie Repellant effect after upgrading it to Exceptional Grade! Thank you so much! I don't have to sleep in the coffin anymore! Right, I also found out just now about the Flasher Zombies! They're in the Sewers! They're horrible and smelled so bad! You have to buy the sunglasses in the store if you find them. ] [ Raze: Shane? Can I borrow 7 Zombie Cores? I need to purchase the clothes in the store, but I don't have enough. I will give it back once I get more and pay you with interest. ]
[ Raze: Did you see the announcement just now? I hope we can meet each other there. ] Shane immediately replied after seeing her message.
[ Shane: Great… I can't imagine how you last that long in that coffin. In any case, I can let you borrow 7 Zombie Cores. I sent a Trade Request and just Accept it. ] [ Shane: I hope I can join the Auction. Let's level up quickly so we can be selected. We don't know if we're part of the Top 1,000 until the date of the event. ]
As he said this, Raze immediately replied, and soon, their trade was completed. Since Raze couldn't accept the 7 Zombie Cores in the Trade Request without placing something in exchange, she had to send Shane a cup of noodles. After that, Shane read Herman's message. [ Herman: Hello, my friend. I learned 5 Crafting Recipes. They're Short Bow, Basic Arrow, Torch, Shield, and Healing Salve… If you need these things, we can discuss their price... The price can vary if I will provide all the required materials to craft them. Just send me a private message if you're interested. If we don't have any transactions in the next two weeks, I will have to remove you from my friend list since they're limited. ] [ Shane: What are the materials required for the Healing Salve? How much for that if I can't provide you with materials? I also like the torches. How much are they? How long can they last? ] After sending these messages, he turned to Travis's messages.
Well, Herman probably had plenty of customers, so it wouldn't be surprising if he had to wait a few hours or even days before getting a reply from him.
[ Travis: Hello! I'm sure now that you're the highest in the ranking in the first Zombie Wave. I asked around and confirmed that other Legendary Talent Holders didn't achieve the first rank. Yes, I befriended seven other Legendary Talent Holders, and they didn't mind cooperating if the time came. I'm you know that this apocalypse won't end just by relying on yourself. You should join us. ]
[ Travis: We're planning to create a Clan. I'm sure you already know of this, but once we reach level 10, there will be a function where we can create a Clan. I haven't reached level 10 yet, but we got this hint from the system. ] "What? He's not level 10 yet?" Shane raised his brow as he thought that most survivors had already reached level 10 by now.
Surprisingly, this Dragon's Blood Travis failed to reach such a level during the Zombie Wave!
Anyway, Shane replied after some thought. [ Shane: I'll consider it. For now, I'm focusing on leveling up for now. You have to remember that creating a Clan will cost 100 Zombies Cores and 5 Reputation Points, so you have to think carefully about it. ] As soon as he answered Travis' message, Shane didn't expect to receive a quick reply. [ Travis: I heard that there's an achievement for establishing the first Clan. We plan on getting it, so we're trying to find others who can donate some Zombie Cores to me. I already have 2 Reputation Points, and I just need to get three more. ] 'Oh… So it was like that. No wonder they're in a hurry…' Shane muttered as he realized why they were rushing to build a Clan.
It certainly does make sense that it would have a special reward. 'Should I help them? Or steal the first clan reward?' Shane thought for a moment as he already had the requirements to build a clan…
Anyway, he ignored that for now and checked Clarissa's message. [ Clarissa: If you find a Telekinesis Enhancement Potion in the Survivor Store, can you purchase it for me? I'm going to pay for it with interest. ] [ Shane: K. ] Shane then thought of checking the Regional Chat or even the World Chat once again, but he suddenly paused as he felt that he had forgotten something. Then, he suddenly smelled the corpses of the Zombies that Gene had killed a while ago. It was at this time that he realized that he hadn't looted them all yet!
Acting quickly, Shane closed his chatboard and started looting once again.
[ Do you want to retrieve the loot? ] "Yes."
[ You have earned 8 Experience Points. ] [ Loots obtained: 1 Item Upgrade Crystal, 1 Zombie Core, 500mL Water, 5 Bread, 100mL Jumper Zombie Blood, 1 Spirit Enhancement Bottle ]
"Mhmm? This one has 5 Bread? Not bad." Shane muttered after looting the Jumper Zombie. Soon, the only remaining Zombie was the half-bodied corpse of the Spitter Zombie
[ Do you want to retrieve the loot? ] "Yes." Shane replied as he waited for the loot items to be revealed.
[ You have earned 30 Experience Points. ] [ Loots obtained: 2 Item Upgrade Crystal, 2 Zombie Cores, 500mL water, 100mL Spitter Zombie Blood, 1 Acid Pouch, 2 Spirit Enhancement Bottles ]
'Right… I have so many Acid Pouch already. I hope Herman can find a decent recipe for this.'
