“Is this what you call a ‘Collection Card’?”
Lu Chen reached out and caught the floating card, and the item information immediately appeared before his eyes.
Clearly, this was also a prop item that could be used to roll stats.
However, before rolling the stats, Lu Chen first read through the description of the card.
-
【Collection Card I: Special prop, can open random collectible items from the "Doomsday City" series】
-
A simple sentence, almost no information was revealed.
If anything, this card belongs to the "Doomsday City" series.
Perhaps there will be more series of collection cards in the future.
Thinking about it, Lu Chen directly rolled the stats on the card in his hand.
【Ding! Prop "Collection Card" has gained the special stat: "Furniture"!】
(Furniture: This card will definitely randomly obtain a "Furniture" type collectible)
“Hey, it’s getting more and more confusing.”
Lu Chen scratched his head in puzzlement, just as he was about to use it, his eyes caught sight of He Hua, who was looking rather listless and bored.
Since she was so idle, why not use her luck to try it out, it would be a way to give her something to do.
“Come here.”
Lu Chen waved his hand, calling He Hua over.
“What?”
The blonde girl dodged the floor soaked in zombie blood with disdain and cast a questioning look at Lu Chen.
“It’s time for you to play your part.”
Lu Chen handed her the card in his hand and said in a tone full of anticipation.
“Let me see how lucky you are.”
He Hua glanced at the card information and immediately understood why Lu Chen called her over. She said with a touch of displeasure.
“You called me over just for this?”
“At least say ‘please’ when asking someone to do something.”
“Oh... please play your part, Miss Feng Bin.”
Feng Bin He Hua “tsk”ed, clearly not satisfied with Lu Chen’s perfunctory response, but she still used the card in her hand.
A flash of silver light, the surface of the card seemed to be rewritten, condensing into a brand new pattern!
The two of them huddled together, checking the new card surface information.
-
【"Hope" Vending Machine: Collectible, can only be placed in the safe house】
【Can be used to buy items displayed in the cabinet by inputting cog currency】
【Item type will change randomly every day】
【Maximum usage per day: 10 times】
【Description: A product of the industrial age, it can rekindle the hope of survivors】
-
Lu Chen and He Hua looked at each other, after a moment of silence, the latter said with a touch of uncertainty.
“This should... be useful, right?”
It’s not just useful, it’s incredibly useful!
If it weren’t for the fact that the idol had a thin skin,
Lu Chen couldn’t help but want to hug her, spin her around 360 degrees and kiss her hard!
He originally thought that collectibles were just useless vases.
Unexpectedly, it’s a furniture item with special functions!
And it's a "vending machine" that can buy items!
Although it consumes cog currency, it at least provides a way to spend the game currency.
Otherwise, you would only be able to go to the market and endure the high prices set by other surviving players.
“You’re getting a pass.”
To Lu Chen's evaluation, He Hua also quickly added a bit of teasing.
“Do you think this is hosting a variety show?”
For He Hua, an idol, she should have also experienced a lot of these shows.
Teasing aside, she was also curious to see what kind of merchandise the vending machine could sell.
“Ordinary vending machines, should only sell drinks, right?”
“Usually that’s true.”
Lu Chen thought for a moment and casually said.
“But there are also comprehensive models that sell snacks, daily necessities, cigarettes and alcohol.”
“Huh... I wonder what kind of vending machine this one will be.”
“We can only place it back in the safe house, so we’ll have to wait a few more hours.”
Another thing that Lu Chen was a bit concerned about was that the "collectibles" seem to have no level.
This means that collectibles are themselves a special type of prop.
“Unfortunately, if it had a level, I could have added a few more stats.”
Lu Chen thought with regret.
Without a level, it can only be like a player, only able to roll one stat.
After experiencing the surprises brought by the "Collector" stat.
The subsequent monster killing seemed a bit bland.
But fortunately, just as Lu Chen was getting a bit tired and was about to finish off the remaining zombies and leave.
The "Mutation" stat finally rolled on the zombie in front of him!
“Ah——!!!”
The zombie, having just awakened its supernatural powers, ignored its broken limbs and opened its mouth to let out a piercing scream!
The loud, penetrating shriek shook Lu Chen's mind, causing his head to spin.
But the next moment, he bit down hard on his tongue, using the pain to stimulate his consciousness to clear up.
“An ability related to sound?”
“So what!”
Lu Chen no longer spared his mental energy, the surrounding air seemed to be compressed by the heavy pressure, making a slight popping sound.
The zombie that had just awakened its ability shrank back instantly, its body pressed tightly against the floor, unable to move.
The next moment, its head was riddled with holes by 9mm bullets, instantly killing it.
A moment later, a few cog copper coins and a familiar seed remained where the body had disappeared.
Mutation Seed!
This was the third Mutation Seed Lu Chen had obtained!
“Not bad, I’ve finally made some gains.”
“Now the team can add another fighter.”
Lu Chen happily held the Mutation Seed in his hand and rolled it casually.
【Ding! Prop "Mutation Seed" has gained the E-grade stat: "Dim Light"】
(Dim Light: After use, 100% chance to awaken a low-level ability related to "light")
It seems luck is conserved.
Lu Chen shook his head and put away the Mutation Seed, waiting to roll it again tomorrow.
Even if it wasn’t for himself, he wouldn’t set a lower requirement than B-grade for stats.
From the effect of the stats, it is not difficult to see that B-grade is considered the passing line for "qualitative change".
Anything lower than that, the potential is a bit lacking.
He Hua, who had been frightened by the screaming zombie and hid in the corner, cautiously poked her head out when she saw that the hall had gone quiet.
As soon as she poked her head out, Lu Chen flicked her smooth forehead.
“You hid pretty fast.”
“You’re the one who told me to stay away!”
“Didn’t you hear? I was complimenting you.”
“Your compliments are pretty awful.”
After going back and forth a couple of times, Lu Chen announced some good news, telling her about the Mutation Seed.
“Really? I can awaken an ability too!”
Upon learning that he had obtained another Mutation Seed, the blonde girl’s eyes lit up with the same color as her hair, sparkling brightly.
However, Lu Chen waved his hand and gestured for her not to get her hopes up.
“I need to ‘process’ this Mutation Seed first.”
“If you use it directly, the awakened ability will be very unstable, and it might be very weak.”
“Huh... Can’t I use it now.”
He Hua immediately looked disappointed.
“So when will I be able to use it?”
“It depends on luck.”
Lu Chen answered concisely.
“Maybe you can use it tomorrow.”
Considering the effect of He Hua’s "Lucky Charm" stat.
Maybe she can really roll a useful stat tomorrow.
“Okay… I’ll wait.”
He Hua thought for a moment, then suddenly turned her head away, looking a bit shy as she said.
“Um, thanks for remembering about this.”
Even if she was slow, she should have realized by now
that Lu Chen had gone through a lot of trouble to get her a Mutation Seed
and had killed the zombie in such a strange way.
He didn’t have to take this kind of risk.
Lu Chen smiled, reached out and messed up the girl’s newly styled hair, then turned and walked toward the stairs.
“It’s getting late, I should meet up with Mai, the evacuation point is nearby, we should be able to return easily this time.”
“We’ll just try out the vending machine when we get back, you should be looking forward to seeing what it sells too.”
Watching the man’s back, Feng Bin He Hua held her breath and felt her heart pounding.
“Sister Mai... This time, I don’t want to lose to you either.”
