Chapter 160: Long Time No See
Because Zach was already out of bed, he decided to go to the donation store. There were still seven hours left before closing, but he thought it would be better to spend the points he had accumulated. He still hasn't received any rewards from the quests and guesses that they will appear when the timer reaches zero.
Ogras had left earlier with some joy, most likely pleased with the windfall he had received from the store. The demon also got a considerable gain, especially since he used his own money to buy most of the materials at the bazaar, giving him a large profit.
Soon he was at the donation crystal table, which was packed with people. There are even some wise warriors there, although they keep their distance from others. There are also several demon soldiers watching them.
Wise men generally respect the strong, but they also hate cosmic energy, which creates a chaotic situation for insect warriors. They are impressed with the demons' performance against the zombie wave, but at the same time disgusted by their corrupt practices.
At least they didn't attack anyone, which is a step in the right direction in Zack's book. He still holds out some hope that the Kundvi Hive will be a bridge between him and the Zhikes, who are now even more important as his relationship with the New World government deteriorates a bit.
As he approached the crystal, the donation shop automatically opened in front of him.
[Submission score: 59348334]
Not too bad, he created about 18 million points in the third wave. This is less than half of what he got in the other two waves, but on the other hand, this wave only lasted a few hours. He thinks a lot of it comes from the Mega Man leader, but Zach isn't sure if he's getting anything from the zombie lord as well.
He doesn't get any cosmic energy from defeating him, as he doesn't actually kill the undead boss, but he may get contribution points, as forcing the corpse master to escape is probably the biggest contribution to defeating the wave.
Trying to figure out the system's contribution formula doesn't make sense, and Zach instead focuses on the items available in the store. He was still not sure what to buy. As he fights these powerful groups, he realizes that they seem to have more skills than he does.
He had asked Ogras before, and after some urging, he learned that Ogras had acquired new skills at the age of 60 and 75. In fact, when Ogras reached the maximum level of the F class, he gained more than one skill. If the undead leader is actually an E-class creature and is limited to F-class when it reaches Earth, this will explain more of the skill.
Zach still had some difficulty deciding whether to buy some skills to expand his repertoire or get something else. He worries that learning skills now is a waste, as he may only need a few levels to get a more appropriate skill from the class. This short but intense battle actually gave him two ranks, putting him at level 56 now.
There were no knife-related items in the store, so he had to focus on something else. He already knew that there were no pills or items that could heal his wounds, because that was the first thing he saw. Finally, his eyes fell on something called the "Fruit of Vitality". This is a permanent small boost that increases the stats of the stats.
Treasures that increase attributes are always in high demand and quite expensive. By far the most expensive are those that boost all the attributes or luck, both of which, unfortunately, do not appear in the store.
The Vitality Fruit is a high-quality F-rank treasure that can increase his vitality by 3-5 points according to the description. It may not seem like a huge number, but it will be even bigger as he moves up the ranks. The problem is that it's quite expensive, costing 20 million contribution points.
However, a sustained power boost was always expensive, and after some hesitation, he bought it. If it was before that, he might have bought something else, but because of the wounds on his body, he felt the need to boost his vitality.
Next, he bought a cultivation manual with 10 million gold coins. It's not the best in the store, but it's not the worst either. It doesn't have any attributes, and it's for the cultivators of the academy. In an ideal world, he would buy more so that people could find a more suitable one, but he couldn't spend all his resources on it.
In the end, he literally bought a quest from the store. It is simply called [Curious Eye], and this is one of the possible upgrade routes for his skill [Recognition Eye]. Zach is tired of the extremely limited information he gets from this skill. It cannot be used on any treasure or tool, it only shows the name and rank of the person he is using the skill on.
[Curious Eye] doesn't offer much help with the second question, but it does provide some help in identifying the treasure. Obviously, you don't need to buy it to trigger the quest to level up [Discernment], but Zach hasn't seen anything like it since he acquired the skill a long time ago.
Paying 7.5 million contribution points to kickstart the upgrade process felt like a worthwhile investment. That leaves Zach with about 21 million points. Because he didn't need anything else anymore, he chose another attribute treasure, and this one made his endurance decrease.
Every time he buys something, a small box appears in front of him, attracting some curious glances. Zach did the same as last time, simply put them all in his bag and left. Then he went to the Creator's shipyard.
As soon as Zach walked into the hall, Ram said, "Hello, Lord Zach. ”。
Zach felt that this stately creator liaison was like a video game NPC, waiting for him in this building. He didn't really see what the creators did, except to greet him when he arrived.
"Goodbye, Ram," Zach said, nodding. "I need to buy something. ”
"I guess the waves of monsters have been dealt with?" Ram said as he handed over a crystal with all the available patterns in it.
Zach nodded and said, "Yes, we completed the third wave of missions yesterday, and the missions will be over in a few hours. ”。
"Congratulations, then," Ram said, still with the same expressionless face on his face.
"Haha, you're here, boy," a loud voice came from the back of the building as Calentel walked down the hall. "I've watched your fight with zombies, not bad. You have the courage. You should buy some bombs, though, and let those zombies run around when you're gone. ”
"You watched the game?" Zach asked in surprise, as neither he nor the Corpse Lord seemed to notice any bystanders.
"I've hit a roadblock in my research, so I'm out and see how you're fighting. I really like that you blew up the lighthouse. But you should know that you can turn these things into interesting weapons that shoot highly concentrated smoke. It's a waste to blow them up," the Creator snorted, obsessed with making weapons as always.
"I had some Thunder Punishment Formations, but as soon as the enemy arrived, the system prevented me from using them. ”
"Ah, yes, such a system is a bit boring. A powerful technologist once visited our planet. He has some amazing toys, like lasers, that can burn an entire planet to ashes with a single shot. But he has to fight with a bow and arrows to get the level," the spider golem said with a laugh. "What is the wind that blows you here, more reconnaissance ships?"
"No, I'm looking for something bigger. It needs to be able to transport more people, and it also needs to have some combat capabilities.
These small boats began to be insufficient to meet the needs of his growing town. He needed something sturdier to explore the larger area of the island and carry more people if needed. If they found someone dying on some distant island, they couldn't let them go back and forth, because that would probably lock a ship for a month.
"I propose to use frigates or Karak-class ships. Karak is slightly larger and has heavier weapons. Ram calmly explained: "If you have someone who is proficient in arrays or combat systems, a crew of 10 people can be fully human, 8 people." ”。
"The frigate is a bit smaller, with a less durable hull and fewer weapons. However, it is much faster than Karak. "The Karak is about the same speed as a small reconnaissance ship, and the frigate can exceed twice this speed," the creator continued.
How much do they cost?Zach asked, knowing that the Creator's ship wasn't cheap.
"The Karak cost 32 million Nexu gold coins, while the frigate cost 26 million," Ram replied, without giving the foreman time to make an offer. "If you want them to have a space array, give them another million. ”
"Space array?" Zach asked, confused.
"Make them shrink so they fit into any cosmic sack. I don't think the locals have big enough cosmic sacks?, Callent laughed.
Zach grimaced and said, "I'm going to use the spatial array for a track." ”。
"Nice to meet you, boy," Caloriet said with a smile. "I like you, so I make my own weapons. This will give them a little extra blow. Who knows, maybe we're going to blow up some islands together?"
"I'm going to leave for a while soon, so we'll have to postpone the bombing of the archipelago," Zach smiled slightly.
"That's good, you young people should take the risk of going out and causing some commotion. Otherwise, you'll get bored," the foreman nodded wisely. "Come back in three days and get the boat, and if you are gone by then, send the devil. ”
Zach said goodbye and ventured back to camp. All this movement began to aggravate his wounds, and Zach found it increasingly difficult to control them with the tree knife. He needed a break. It's a bit pathetic, he has what it takes to win the battle against the Tyrannosaurus Rex, but after completing a few errands, he feels ready.
Zach sat down in the courtyard again, continuing to spin his tree knife to calm the throbbing wound. Before Ogras interrupted him, he sensed what he was doing, and after a moment's hesitation, he pulled out a box. This is one that contains a vibrant fruit.
He didn't buy it for a small boost in his stats, he had another purpose. He frantically frantically fended off the torrent of smoky miasma with his knife, which opened a door for him. It is the ruthlessness of life in the face of death, the light of struggle, refusing to disappear.
He took the Vitality Fruit out of the box and carefully felt the aroma and smell it emanated. It smells good and gives off a fresh and aromatic smell. This is not the level of the Ascension Fruit, but it is still appetizing. Without waiting any longer, he took a big bite and swallowed the WHO fruit in a matter of seconds.
A warm current passed through his body, infusing each of his cells with vibrant energy. Even the poisonous gas in his body receded into a ball around the wound, and he seemed to be terrified of energy. Wave after wave of heat, Zach sat on the knife and pondered.
Hours passed, and Zach sat there captivated by the feeling, savoring the sheer vitality and life that was filled with it. This was different from the epiphany he had when he improved Shen Dao, but more like he was able to focus on something that was previously vague.
He understood what Ilfur meant before, and sometimes the breakthrough was after the real battle. Zach finally understood what he was feeling, but in the process of wrestling with the corpse owner, he was completely caught. For some reason, his mind imagined a stormy tundra, where storms and bad weather were always a nuisance.
However, a small seed managed to take root and sprout, thriving in the rain and snow in that terrible climate, tenaciously stretching upward. It was the same feeling he had when he handed out his tree knives in the midst of a storm of smoky miasma.
There was a change in him, and the fractal that looked like the tree of life turned into an emerald green color. He wanted to continue enjoying the moment of clarity, but Zach suddenly felt that there was someone in the yard. Zach spoke loudly without opening his eyes, his heart full of memories and troubles.
"Long time no see, Abby. ”
After lying next to a tree for five days, she got two missing second-stage progressions.
Ding's mana drain resistance reaches –2 level 1
Rare enemies will have the ability to drain your mana. Not for themselves, but to weaken you. When you encounter such a creature, you know its devastating effects. This skill will help you reduce the effect on you of any ability to consume mana.
Stage 2: Your mana is tied to you, making it difficult for anyone to draw mana from you. In addition to this, the mana removed from you will also damage the enemy if they want to use it themselves. This effect increases with each mana loss
"Ding" Life Drain Resistance reaches –2 level 1
Some creatures have the ability to consume your life. You have suffered such a spell and have endured it. This skill will help you endure and twist your enemies more easily.
Stage 2: Your health is yours, and with every point lost, it will become more difficult to steal what belongs to you from you
Both of these skills are useful for anyone with either ability, but Elija only mentions to Trian that he can stop using his skills and continue to lie there enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.
The man stopped and struck her with lightning, and the woman just grunted in response to him. "It's good to have you here. He continued to meditate, occasionally writing something in the small notebook he had brought the day before.
Elija didn't bother with his notes and yawned. "Wake me up four hours later. She still lacks two skills and she hopes that Willian's training will bring her enough fruit for breakfast.
