2024-12-31 02:01:57Access to the system marketplace had to be granted by Memphis. He didn’t want the leader to have any reservations when he sought to exchange for a mid-tier progression card.
Memphis’s smirk widened slightly: “This guy lies poorly.” he thought. Albin’s inner turmoil was written all over his face and reflected in his hesitant speech.
In the presence of the master liar and con artist, this clumsy act was laughable.
Leaning back on the stone bench, Memphis turned his gaze to Virginia, who remained motionless nearby. Her beauty was captivating—delicate like an exquisite doll crafted by non-human hands.
"You’ll become like your sister, descending into uncontrollable madness. One i

Within three seconds, Virginia’s mouth was filled with blood. Moving with practiced efficiency, Memphis used his free hand to gently massage her throat, helping her swallow the vivid crimson liquid in gulp after gulp."L-Leader?!"Albin was horrified by the sight, while Memphis simply furrowed his brow, pressing the ice blade deeper to widen the wound, letting the blood flow even faster.Thanks to his two passive third-tier skills, Super Recovery and Valor, Memphis’s injuries were divided into countless tiny fractions. The 5-centimeter cut on his wrist immediately began to heal halfway, only to shrink further. This forced him to cut himself several more times.Calmly pointing to his own blood, Memphis explained:"When activating a skill, stamina and intellect serve as its foundation. Essentially, it requires energy.""A skill is like an engine, drawing energy from the body, transforming it into extraordinary power, and releasing it.""Vir lacks the energy her high-tier skill demands.

"Idiot. You can’t even control your zombie transformation yet. What if giving her your blood turns her into a zombie?""Your body right now is no different from pesticide-laden vegetables. You’ve stuffed yourself with zombie meat—are you sure you’ve digested all of it? What about leftover zombie traits in your body? Are you planning to poison your sister?"A chill ran down Albin’s spine at Memphis’s scolding, goosebumps prickling his skin. He had completely overlooked such a crucial point.He hurriedly turned to Memphis with a desperate plea: “Commander, then what should I do? You mentioned there were four methods to cure her, right?"Memphis nodded, his tone deliberate: “Yes.""The third method is to drain her energy completely. When Virginia has an episode, we’ll gather people to 'share the damage,' absorbing the energy she releases. This will deplete the reserves of her auto-triggered high-tier skill, allowing her mind to weather the energy storm and regain clarity.""However, I’ll

Zeth jumped to his feet, his voice trembling with urgency: “Is that true? Memphis, are you serious?"His home was in Sable. If it had been liberated, his family had a chance of survival.Memphis nodded firmly: “It’s true. This information came from intelligence reports. I’ve also dispatched people to investigate your family’s safety. Once we have news, I’ll personally take you to them—or bring them to you."Information about the outer areas of Harbor Line wasn’t hard to obtain, as the Lakeside and Harbor Line governments maintained communication. Such details could be acquired with just five pounds of food from the "information stations."However, identifying specific individuals among thousands in the Harbor Line base was no easy feat. Given the tense relationship between Hope Town and the Lakeside government, extracting specific and detailed intelligence was even more challenging.Zeth was a capable and intelligent man. He knew better than to express undue impatience, understanding
Apocalypse System: How To Destroy My Resources? Chapter 694:
Zeth saw no reason to refuse. Gesturing towards a nearby guest table, he said:"I'll explain it to you in terms even a grade-schooler could understand."The humor in his statement was layered with respect. Simplifying complex concepts to an elementary level required immense effort and intellect. It was not something that could be done casually.After they both sat down, Memphis conjured two ice spheres with a snap of his fingers—one round and one square. He slid the round one towards Zeth and, with a serious tone, said:"There are three questions.""First, why can this object exist indefinitely at room temperature?""Second, why is it harder than steel?""Third, why can these two objects exchange positions?"As Memphis finished, the round ice sphere before Zeth morphed into a square, while the two swapped places.Zeth stared at the scene, utterly astonished. Picking up the square ice shard, he tested its reactions and properties. His pupils contracted as he stammered:"Ice… superionic

Physical forces or foreign high-frequency energy could shatter it, but only superficially. Without the right "key.” it wouldn’t detonate to release the accumulated energy.Even Memphis himself couldn't fully unleash the energy stored within him at the moment. His control over the fourth-tier skill was still too weak. He held a bomb he had created with his own hands but couldn’t detonate it entirely as intended."So that’s how it is... Turns out, when I summon larger Ice Constructs, they consume more stamina and intellect. It’s not just about size, it’s about increasing both the quantity and quality of extraordinary energy to achieve high-pressure states, thereby solidifying the ice.""Good thing I didn’t use a fourth-tier Ice Burst move while sparring with the team members. Otherwise, I might have ended up with the label of accidental manslaughter on more than 20 people...""If I can increase my control and refine the infusion of extraordinary energy into my skills, the summoned ice w

Zeth sighed deeply, seemingly marveling at the situation.The man before him, not only adept in social dealings and interpersonal relationships, but also sharp and intuitive when it came to analyzing natural phenomena.When he first arrived, this so-called Hope Town leader, Jackman, was like a clueless fledgling. Now, the fledgling could crow and flap its wings—albeit just a little.Zeth nodded in agreement."I can’t confirm anything. The experimental equipment here isn’t sufficient for definitive conclusions. Everything I’ve said is just theoretical."Even so, Memphis was more than satisfied. He smiled with interest and said: “Don’t worry. I’ll have my people scour the area for all the equipment you need. Just focus on your work and let your talents shine. Now, about my third question: why can the two ice crystals switch places?"Zeth could only offer a wry smile and nod in agreement.With such favorable c

Zeth continued: “Another explanation is wormholes. By traversing a wormhole connecting two points in spacetime, we could bypass infinite distances and arrive at our destination instantly. This is because the two endpoints of the wormhole are, in essence, one and the same, located at the mouth of the tunnel."Memphis felt this explanation made sense—"one-step to the destination.” effectively teleportation. But Zeth shook his head, quashing his hope:"These are just theories. In practice, no experiment has successfully transported matter through quantum tunneling or wormholes."Even if wormholes exist, matter—especially humans—cannot traverse them. At best, we could observe from the outside, and even that is unlikely."Theoretically, the cosmic microwave background radiation would immediately flood a wormhole the moment it forms, carrying extremely high frequencies and nearly infinite energy."This would obliterate any tangible matter attempting to approach, and potentially destroy the

"This is a manifestation of quantum entanglement.""The system has already become a component of this quantum framework.""At the dawn of the apocalypse, the light beam emitted by the red skull was marking players via spin and other types, including subconscious types.""Every player is under constant surveillance. Every move has been marked by a spin corresponding to the system’s master spin.""That’s why the system can instantly respond when a 'player' seeks connection.""A chilling question is: If the system wanted you dead, could it destroy the spin stored in some remote corner of existence, causing a similar collapse in you? Could you resist this quantum entanglement?""No.""We are all prisoners of the red skull.""Life and death are not in our hands…"Memphis thought bitterly. He resolved to use Ice Phantom more often in the future, hoping to uncover ways to hack the system.He had long prepared himself for surveillance.If the information was already exposed, there was no use

With his extensive knowledge of the extraordinary, Memphis quickly came to a conclusion about Big Black Dog:"Evolution?"The dog was currently at Level 29. It had consumed vast quantities of magical crystals, potions, zombie flesh, and countless extraordinary treasures. If it didn’t evolve after all that, it would truly be a disgrace to its lineage.Big Black Dog’s evolution delighted Memphis. If this dumb dog broke through to Level 30, Hope Town would finally have a true powerhouse. Be it mutated snakes or frogs, one strike would flatten them.Moreover, the fact that the dog chose to evolve here, without any concern for external dangers, indicated its absolute trust in the safety of this area.Both Shaina and Big Black Dog had, in their own ways, demonstrated their trust in Hope Town’s security on the same day. It was a good omen.Jarred, standing anxiously nearby, couldn’t help but ask nervously after seeing his boss bark and receive no response from the pet:"Boss, what’s wrong wi

In Hope Town, those who were soft and delicate often chose lighter roles. Few made it to the ranks of official soldiers by Day 25 of the apocalypse, as the path was grueling, taxing both physically and mentally, often at the expense of one’s appearance.Pressed under the immense aura radiating from Memphis, Paula bit her lip and decisively raised her hand. In her palm spun five rapidly rotating fire blades, a sign of her determination to try rather than retreat.Seeing her resolve, the onlookers grew attentive, their anticipation palpable.The five second-tier Fire Blades in Paula’s hand began spinning faster, showing signs of merging into a single, cohesive fiery wheel.However, courage couldn’t quell her nerves. The Fire Wheel was uneven, fluctuating between cohesion and separation, on the verge of exploding prematurely.Osiris grew agitated, nearly shouting in frustration. Memphis, on the other hand, merely furrowed his brows slightly and instructed calmly:"Release it."Whoosh.Pa

At this moment, he swung his hand forward, sending the half-meter Fire Wheel hurtling toward the wooden dummy stationed at the enemy's position. Upon impact, it exploded with a deafening roar, unleashing eight massive arcs of fire that engulfed a 40-meter radius in a fiery inferno.The continuous burning effect became evident. Even in the barren clearing, where nothing substantial remained, flames roared with increasing intensity. Each second saw the fire spreading wider, melting sand and gravel into molten sludge. The fiery devastation painted the sky crimson with its overwhelming heat.The surrounding team members watched the scene in stunned silence, their bodies trembling. If such an attack were directed at them, there would be no escape—they’d be reduced to charred remains in seconds.Osiris pointed at the massive blaze in the distance and said:"This is nearly the maximum power of the third-tier Fire Blade that I can unleash. Both the inward compression and outward release forms

Once connected, he followed Osiris's steps, using his willpower to continuously enhance his control over the skill.After ten seconds, the Fire Blade indeed shrank in size, turned blue, increased in pressure, and spun twice as fast as before.Seeing this, the team member grinned widely and laughed: “It works! Haha, it works! I did it!"However, as he laughed, the fiery blade began to wobble uncontrollably. Within moments, it lost its compressed state with a faint puff and reverted to normal—even showing signs of extinguishing.Osiris, witnessing this, roared angrily: “Focus! Stay focused! Damn it, do you want to kill someone? If you release a half-baked compressed strike, it's more dangerous than a basic attack. It might even explode on the spot! You're training, not fooling around—what the hell are you laughing about?"His frustration was justified. Osiris had endured countless explosions while perfecting Fire Wheel, and the mere thought of it triggered his lingering trauma.Luckily,
Chapter 758:
Osiris wanted those wielding Fire Blade to master the skill to the point where the first dummy could burn entirely without the second dummy being affected by the "continuous burning" effect.Why? So that melee fighters working alongside ranged attackers wouldn’t be hindered by friendly fire, wouldn’t fear being accidentally struck, and wouldn’t be obstructed by or trapped behind flaming zombies.The official member who had just been scolded by Osiris failed this test. His Fire Blade strike produced six flaming blades. Five ignited the first dummy, while one mistakenly hit the second dummy, reducing both to ashes.If the second dummy had been a melee teammate fighting on the front lines, it would have been a case of accidental manslaughter.At this point, Osiris stepped into the training area. The logistics crew, understanding his intentions, quickly replaced the burnt dummies with two fresh ones, setting them up within the target circle.The new dummies were placed just 15 cm apart. N

Setting aside the reconnaissance report, Memphis turned to two documents on his desk. One was a criminal wanted notice from Harbor Line District, with Gemma’s name prominently listed, and the other was a communique regarding facilitating contact for the relatives of surviving residents.After a careful 10-minute review, Memphis assigned two tasks to Amanda for execution.The final item on his evening agenda was reviewing the combat footage of Jarred versus the mutated snake.Picking up the video recorder, Memphis yawned as he played back the scene of a two-legged human and a legless reptile locked in an intense chase."This snake looks pretty strong…”"Is this a water snake?”“Spitting venom like that... nasty.”“Damn, it’s fast as hell…”“If it were chasing me, I’d be screwed immediately…”“What? That Void Strike, a fourth-tier skill, is insane…”“I wonder how snake meat tastes…”“Grilled, it tastes grilled. Boiled, it tastes boiled…”“I’ve heard snake-infused liquor is excellent…”“

The consequences were too severe for anyone to risk. Even the most greedy wouldn’t dare.And for those thinking they could abscond with the skill? Escape where? Lakeside? That was laughable. How far could they run? For how long?Memphis activated the gray-white skill, carefully focusing on it. In an instant, a mechanical system voice echoed in his ears:"Ding! Fourth-tier active skill: 'Tiger Lost in the Plains.' Skill attribute: Creates a suppression zone with a 10-meter radius around the user. Enemies entering this zone cannot deal critical damage to the user and take an additional 10-30% random damage from the user's attacks. Skill consumption: 10 stamina, 5 intellect. Skill duration: 10 seconds. Skill cooldown: 60 seconds. Can be enhanced and advanced."As the mechanical voice faded, Memphis couldn't help but feel an odd expression crossing his face."Seriously, how can a skill name sound this 'dramatic'?""'Tiger Lost in the Plains'—clearly derived from the idiom 'A tiger humbled

In the world of the underworld, one’s fate isn’t entirely their own.In the world of skills, abilities aren’t entirely one’s own.In the world of zombies, existence isn’t entirely their own.These days, even being a zombie isn’t easy.Zombies must endure various constraints, unable to "live" as they please.Even if they remain still, they instinctively feel hunger and are driven to seek humans to devour. Once they find humans, they risk being destroyed. Even if they don’t actively hunt, humans will seek them out to kill, drawn by the experience and resources they carry. Their very existence is intrinsically tied to the underworld.If there’s no food, they can starve, hiding lazily in backyards without provoking anyone. They could choose to avoid the world, gaze at the sky and ground, and resolve to be kind and virtuous zombies. But even then, they aren’t free. Zombies that sit quietly like tame dogs will still be dragged off by Manipulation Types to act as errand runners, unaware of w

The zombie-attracting waves emitted by the Manipulation Type, Manipulate M3 Dragon Light, were expanding. Its ability to replenish its forces suggested its war machine’s sustainability, with no risk of depleting resources.The report ended there, leaving Memphis deep in thought, his brows tightly knitted.With its current arsenal, Hope Town was unlikely to withstand the 110,000-strong zombie horde.The Soul Suppression attacks from M3 had an exceptionally long range. Meanwhile, Hope Town’s long-range firepower consisted of only three 2a28 Grom cannons, which were far too sparse. The remaining weaponry lacked sufficient range, forcing them into mid- or close-range combat—a perilous endeavor.“
