“Sisters together…”
“You mentioned Feng Bin He Hua earlier, didn’t expect they would actually come.”
Seeing the new keyword Sakurajima Mai had acquired, Lu Chen was slightly stunned, his expression somewhat subtle.
Compared to her mature older sister, Feng Bin He Hua, a high school idol, had a very childish temperament.
Being with her might be quite “fun”… and troublesome.
“However, this time it’s only transmitting to the same dangerous area.”
“Meaning that it's in the same 'Doomsday City' scenario, but not necessarily transmitted to nearby locations, right…?”
After browsing through the effect of the keyword, Lu Chen pondered.
According to the rules of the Survivor Game, the number of players each dangerous area can accommodate is the current number of people in the channel.
The channel Lu Chen and Sakurajima Mai were in was #50000.
This meant that at the same time, there were at least 50,000 identical 'Doomsday City' scenarios!
He had not found Feng Bin He Hua in the online player list in the chatroom before.
It was probably because she was in a different channel.
After thinking for a while, Lu Chen didn't tell Mai about Feng Bin He Hua.
He simply sent a message saying that they could be transmitted to the same dangerous area this time, but they wouldn't be together initially.
If possible, they would meet at the entrance of the 'Doomsday City' library.
The reason he said this was because Lu Chen happened to have a key that could teleport him to the library.
“Alright, once we enter the dangerous area, I'll first confirm our location.”
Sakurajima Mai's reply, concise and efficient, quickly appeared in the chat bar.
She didn't ask Lu Chen why he was so sure that they would definitely be in the same area.
This was the benefit of interacting with someone with high emotional intelligence.
After chatting for a few more sentences, they started preparing for today’s exploration.
There were still more than ten minutes left until 6 o'clock.
Lu Chen simply washed his face and then gathered the scattered props on the bed, hurriedly refreshing the keywords.
Digesting the A-level keyword ‘Anomaly Seed’ took too long, almost making him forget the important stuff!
Fortunately, refreshing the keywords was only a blink of an eye, and Lu Chen quickly refreshed all the props he needed to change keywords.
The notification sounds rang out one after another.
-
【Ding! Prop “Safe House Expansion Blueprint” acquired C-level keyword: “Gathering Hall”!】
(Gathering Hall: Expansion cost x5, expansion scale x3, safe house obtains “Gathering Invitation” function, can invite other players to visit the safe house)
【Ding! Prop “Elite Survivor Wristwatch” acquired C-level keyword: “Expansion”!】
(Expansion: Storage space increased by double)
【Ding! Weapon “Glock Pistol” acquired B-level keyword: “Infinite Bullets”!】
(Infinite Bullets: This weapon cannot be reloaded, shooting is considered infinite normal bullets)
【Ding! Prop “Travel Bag” acquired D-level keyword: “Lightweight”!】
(Lightweight: Weight is fixed at 500 grams, will not change weight due to loaded items)
-
Great haul!
Amidst a series of ding-ding-ding-ding sounds, Lu Chen's breathing became noticeably heavy, and the excitement on his face was visible to the naked eye!
Out of the four props, two of the refreshed keywords brought surprises!
One was the safe house expansion blueprint, which refreshed the “Gathering Hall” keyword, allowing other players to be invited to the safe house after expansion!
At this moment, the image of a certain famous actress appeared in Lu Chen's mind.
“After the expansion, I can use the excuse of ‘My place is pretty big, you can sleep over if you're tired’ to invite her over… not bad.”
Of course, being able to feast his eyes was definitely an important factor.
The effect of the “Gathering Hall” keyword went far beyond that.
However, besides the benefits, the cost of expansion was even higher –
Originally it cost 500 Gear Coppers, now it’s directly increased by 5 times!
Even with the 1000 Gear Coppers rewarded as “Top Survivor,” it wasn't enough.
As for how to raise the funds for the expansion… that’s something Lu Chen needed to think about.
The second surprise was the “Infinite Bullets” keyword refreshed on the Glock pistol!
Although it lost the “Silencer” effect.
But with infinite bullets, who cares about a silencer, just shoot!
“Since the system upgrade, my luck seems to have gotten better too.”
Lu Chen happily put the pistol into the storage space of his wristwatch.
At this time, he realized that the Elite Survivor Wristwatch had two keywords at the same time.
They were “Wide Area” and “Expansion,” both C-level keywords.
“Because it's a C-level prop, so it can hold a maximum of 3 keywords…?”
Lu Chen pondered and tried to refresh the keywords on the wristwatch again, but was prompted that today's refresh times had already been used up.
It seemed that regardless of level, every item only had one keyword refresh chance per day.
Tomorrow, the wristwatch could obtain a third keyword - even if the level wasn't high, the combined effect would be very strong.
“This should be the advantage of high-level props and skills.”
Thinking about this, the infinite bullets Glock he just got didn't seem so amazing anymore.
After all, the Glock pistol was only an E++ level weapon, and could only have one keyword at most.
It was already at its peak state and had no room for further improvement.
Once they encountered enemies that were not afraid of bullets, it would probably be eliminated soon.
“However, it should be enough to deal with the zombies in the ‘Doomsday City’ area.”
Looking at the time, there were only a few minutes left.
Lu Chen checked his backpack one last time, making sure he brought enough supplies – like water and compressed biscuits.
As for canned food, it wasn't convenient to open while moving, compressed biscuits were more efficient.
“Right, ‘Energized Throw’ is a D-level skill and can have two keywords.”
“I should be able to refresh another one today.”
As the transmission neared, Lu Chen suddenly remembered this and smacked his forehead.
He was blinded by the dazzling props and forgot that skills could also be refreshed with keywords!
【Ding! Skill “Energized Throw” acquired D-level keyword: “Incorporeal”!】
(Incorporeal: The projectile will be as faint and transparent as possible, the smaller the size, the more obvious the effect)
“……Meh.”
Lu Chen gave a less than stellar evaluation after reading the keyword description.
This keyword would be good for assassination, but he was currently facing zombies.
“Make do with it, I'll replace it tomorrow.”
Lu Chen wanted to continue operating something in the skill list.
But time was up, and the Survivor Game started the transmission very punctually.
Just like yesterday, his vision and consciousness seemed to have entered a narrow tunnel.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen finally saw a bright light and returned to the familiar lead-grey sky.
The blood-red notification message appeared as promised, bringing the rules of this area.
Only this time… this abandoned city had become even more dangerous!
【You have been transmitted to the E-level dangerous area “Doomsday City”】
【Starting from the second day, roaming enemies will appear in this area】
【Other rules remain the same as the first day】
【Survivor, good luck】
