Jarred, after hearing this reasoning from his elder brother, began to calm down. Indeed, if they could save 12,000 Bright Points to purchase another Tier 4 skill book, it would undoubtedly be better.
After thinking it through, he glanced at the Concealment Technique skill book that had been tossed over to him and immediately started shouting again:
"Big brother, give me this skill!"Memphis’s lips twitched in irritation as he snapped back:
"Does it suit your fighting style?"Jarred hesitat
Moreover, 4 skill points and 16 potential points were substantial boosts in power.Still, despite the tempting rewards, Memphis had no intention of choosing this. Leveling up could be achieved through hard work over time; there was no need to rush.The second option remained true to its "random luck" format but sweetened the deal with a guaranteed 28,452 Bright Points, matching the exact amount he currently possessed. This ensured he could still purchase valuable items from the marketplace even if the random rewards turned out to be junk.Once again, anything involving luck or uncertainty was something Memphis resolutely avoided. Even if the system offered him
Anyone possessing a Safe Crystal would always be a target, their “safety” perpetually under threat.The final task required 720 hours to complete—equivalent to a full month. Not short, but certainly not long either. This would be a month drenched in blood, filled with zombie slaying, human combat, attacks, defenses, and faction building. There would be no semblance of the leisure from the last 20 days.Now, any half-hearted work meant certain death. The higher you climbed, the more chains you carried; standing still was nothing but moving backward."When Jarred completes his mission, he'll earn a Wishing Stone. I wonder what it does, what it
Starla’s long-term presence at the docks and proximity to the armored vehicle workshop posed significant challenges to Hope Town’s plans.No one knew what Starla was up to—was she preparing to attack Hope Town?She was from Lakeside, and staying here was like a sharp dagger constantly pressed against their weakest side. He had to find a way to drive her out as soon as possible.Observing for another two minutes, Memphis finally spoke, his voice loud and sharp:"What are you doing?"Starla, with her flowing blue hair resembli
After returning to the headquarters and delivering the haul of fish to the kitchen, Memphis made a stop at the Black Hound Villa to collect 50 liters of mutated jade milk, which he stored in his Level 4 Storage Ring. Then he set off to the biochemical testing facility located three kilometers from the main base.This facility initially housed only 14 prisoners tasked with poison testing for food, researching zombie toxin thresholds, and experimenting with stimulant herbs. However, it recently welcomed nine new volunteers who agreed to participate in biochemical trials.That morning, Memphis had issued a notice seeking candidates to test three new experimental medicines. The offer of triple the standard wages immediately attracted 15 applicants, nine of whom passed the health screenings and were accepted into the trials.It was no wonder they jumped at the chance. If they could survive the seven-day trial, they would earn approximately 350 contribution points in total, including wages
Leroy and Monty left as instructed. When they returned five minutes later, all the zombie extract containers in the corner had vanished. In their place sat a 50-liter plastic drum filled with milky-white liquid, alongside a small porcelain jar that shimmered with ever-changing colors—a sight both eerie and mesmerizing.Memphis pointed to two items on the table and spoke slowly:"Test the maximum tolerance of the zombie extract on those nine newcomers. Also, determine the full effects of this porcelain vial—specifically, what each color does."What he carried away was a batch of failed imitation extract, while what he left behind was a level 4 artifact: the Mutation Flask."Understood.” came the reply.After assigning the task, Memphis emerged from the underground base and headed straight for the zombie containment area nearby. This facility housed over 40 zombies ranging from level 1 to level 18.After dismissing two temporary staff members, Memphis flipped his right hand, revealing a
It was the first time someone had been killed by another person in Hope Town, where death by zombies was common. And it had happened openly, in the very center of town.As Memphis arrived, the woman seemed to sense his presence. She raised her head, and her eyes burned with hatred as she shouted,"Thieves! Murderers! You filthy scum! Why did you kill my little girl?"Her anguished cries echoed through the air, laced with the despair of a mother mourning her 9-year-old daughter. Under the dim glow of the blood-red sunset, amidst the suffocating terror of the apocalypse, her voice magnified the desolation of the scene. The power of righteousness is so immense that it can lead to "sacrificing oneself for the greater good." Even blood ties can be severed in the name of righteousness, earning acclaim and eternal reverence, leaving future generations unable to criticize or judge. What, then, could prevent someone from fully exercising their power?In fact, with righteousness, even minor missteps would be glossed over and forgiven by the overarching narrative.The three obstacles to action—legal consequences, social moral risks, and pangs of conscience—cease to be barriers when righteousness is secured. Instead, they become tools to help achieve one’s goals, while opponents remain shackled and unable to act freely. The entire incident lasted no more than five seconds, ending with Bart tossing his weapon aside and hysterically denying responsibility.Now, the horrific scene lay before them.Although there were minor discrepancies in eyewitness accounts, the essence remained the same: Bart mercilessly killed two demonstrators with terrifying precision.After collecting testimonies, Memphis turned to Wilbur Miller and asked:"Are there cameras in the vicinity?"Twelve security caApocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources?
