Rewards After the Battle

But Shen Mu didn't have time to think too much right now. Looking at the content on the dialogue box in front of him, he almost subconsciously blurted out:

"Start game!"

[Data error... Data repair...]

[Repair successful.]

[Character Template has been successfully loaded.]

Then, on Shen Mu's retina, the moment the dialogue box popped up, a white light also enveloped Shen Mu.

If you looked closely, you would find that this white light was actually a data stream composed of countless 0s and 1s!

It spread out from between Shen Mu's eyebrows and then truly appeared in this world.

It appeared in Shen Mu's small apartment!

However, this white light formed by countless data only lasted for three to five seconds, almost instantly dissipating again.

But when the white light dissipated, Shen Mu's consciousness returned, only to find that his body felt heavy, and in his hands, there was something extra—

When Shen Mu looked down, his left hand was covered with a rawhide-covered round shield made of several pieces of hardwood boards pieced together, with a layer of animal skin on the outside.

In his right hand was a long sword gleaming with cold light. The blade was sharpened, and holding it in his hand, he had a familiar feeling, already knowing how to swing it to achieve greater killing effect.

And as he looked down, Shen Mu also found that at some point, the jeans and shirt he should have been wearing had been replaced by a gray, somewhat worn but quite substantial and somewhat protective short-sleeved leather jacket.

Even the sneakers on his feet had turned into leather boots that seemed to have been handmade!

"Character Template!?" Shen Mu instantly reacted.

It was with this set of novice equipment that he had easily defeated four Robbers last night with the five newly recruited Swadian Recruits, and even captured two of them!

It was clear that when the Character Template was loaded, the Character Template from the original Warband he played last night was also loaded!

"There's movement ahead!" But before Shen Mu's surprised emotions could calm down, a warning sound came from his ear.

It was Chinese!

And five Swadian Recruits, wearing gray-black linen robes, with single-handed axes tucked at their waists, rotten wooden shields hanging on their backs, and long-handled sickles in their hands, stepped forward past Shen Mu and stood side by side in the apartment.

In front was the brazier lit in the apartment, and these five Swadian Recruits, who looked thin and were only about 16 years old, used their long-handled sickles, assembled from wooden sticks and sickle heads, about two meters long, like a human wall, expressionlessly blocking Shen Mu's path.

They gave Shen Mu a complete sense of security!

"It really is the Character Template I played at home last night, and the Swadian Recruits I recruited!" Shen Mu was extremely surprised.

Thinking about it now, why did his predecessor commit suicide by cutting his wrists, and he transmigrated completely unharmed?

Perhaps it was because the Mount & Blade System was awakening!

"Uh ah..." Just then, as if sensing the presence of living people in the apartment, the short roar from the bathroom suddenly became agitated.

The blurry shadow behind the frosted glass grew larger and larger, as if it had found an exit.

With a 'crackling' sound.

The glass on the bathroom door was smashed open from the inside.

"Uh ah!" At the same time, a staggering figure also stepped out from the broken bathroom door and entered the apartment!

"Zombie!" This term instantly appeared in Shen Mu's mind.

It came from the terrifying memories of his predecessor.

Especially when he saw that Undead Monster, completely gray-black, wearing tattered linen clothes, with limbs so twisted that it walked uncoordinatedly, but with eyes as dull as dead fish eyes, staggering towards them, his heart beat several times faster!

The vigorous flames in the brazier seemed to sense something and began to flicker slightly.

The ample light shone directly on the Zombie that had appeared from the bathroom door and staggered into the apartment room.

Wisps of gray mist began to quickly spread from the Zombie under the illumination of the flames, and then were completely evaporated by the firelight only a few steps away.

So much so that this Zombie let out low growls but did not dare to directly cross the brazier and pounce on Shen Mu and the others.

Because these Undead creatures are naturally afraid of fire and light!

"Indeed, my predecessor's memory was correct." Shen Mu felt fortunate for the preparations he had made by believing his predecessor's memory.

But Shen Mu, behind the five Swadian Recruits, did not see the expressions on their faces.

It was that silent, yet... eager look!

So, in Shen Mu's silence, these five Swadian Recruits from the same village seemed to have made some preparations.

Their long-handled sickles were tightly gripped.

Looking at the staggering, obviously fearful of the brazier, ugly Zombie in front of them, they showed no fear. Instead, they nodded together, then raised the long-handled sickles in their hands and thrust forward!

"For Swadia!" they shouted.

Then they raised the long-handled sickles high, as if they were sickles they had swung countless times in the countryside, pitchforks they had swung countless times, and heavily chopped down on the Zombie's head!

In Shen Mu's almost dumbfounded face, the long-handled sickle, which had already been sharpened to an extreme degree.

Directly chopped the Zombie's head, completely rotten like a watermelon!

The sturdy skull could not withstand the heavy chop of the long-handled sickle.

Fragments of a skull, made of grayish-black bone and gray brain matter mixed with black blood that had long since dried in the veins, were sent flying in all directions by the sharp long-handled scythe.

In just one encounter, that zombie, which was extremely ferocious in the memory of his previous self and required every possible method to kill,

was actually split open in the head and fell to the ground with a 'thud'.

Only a headless corpse with a broken neck remained!

The battle ended just like that.

Ding! After a fierce battle, all enemies have been eliminated!

Your team has gained experience points.

Evaluation: This was a clean and decisive battle. (Excellent)

Dialogue boxes then appeared on Shen Mu's retina.

However, these were not single dialogue boxes.

New dialogue boxes appeared after them.

Ding! You have completed the first battle of your life and decisively eliminated the enemy.

Therefore, you have received rewards: 10 Swadian Recruits, 100 Denars, 5 bags of wheat.

"Rewards?!"

Before Shen Mu could react, countless tiny data streams suddenly rushed out from between his eyebrows and began to spread throughout the apartment.

From the corner of the wall to the surrounding, still somewhat empty space, everything transformed into streaks of light and began to spread.

"This is the system distributing rewards." Shen Mu thought thoughtfully.

In the cramped space of this less than thirty-square-meter apartment, the first things to appear were 5 full linen bags piled in the corner of the wall, all filled with dried and simply hulled wheat grains.

Then, on the bed, a bulging small money bag appeared, filled with Denars made of silver, a full 100 coins.

Appearing again were 10 Swadian Recruits, also wearing gray linen robes, carrying rotten wooden shields on their backs, with axes tucked at their waists, and holding long-handled scythes of the same specifications in their hands.

At this moment, they all opened their eyes and respectfully bowed their heads and placed their hands on their chests towards Shen Mu, who was standing by the bed: "Greetings to you! Mr. Shen Mu!"

"Mm, very good." Shen Mu replied with a telepathic understanding.

At the same time, looking at the Swadian Recruits, his subordinates, who had directly increased to 15 people before his eyes.

Shen Mu's mood was extremely joyful!

However, looking at the current apartment, everyone was squeezed together like sardines in a can, and Shen Mu felt a bit helpless.

The apartment his previous self had found was originally for the purpose of being small and easy to hide.

Now that he had so many people, it was clear that this thirty-square-meter apartment was really not a good place.

"After dawn, I'll have to find some more rooms." Shen Mu rubbed his chin, feeling that this was not difficult.

After all, in this world where the rules of the spirit realm had descended upon Blue Star, and countless Undead Monsters had ravaged for three years, there were abandoned houses everywhere.

For example, the apartment room Shen Mu was currently living in was in the easternmost corner unit; as long as he expanded outwards, he could get more rooms.

"Anyway, it seems I'm the only one living on the highest floor, the seventh floor." Shen Mu thought about when he moved in a few days ago, he didn't encounter many neighbors, and of course, there was no neighborhood committee or building committee for management.

"I always feel like I've forgotten something." Shen Mu felt a sense of forgetting something while he was deep in thought at this moment.

"Woo woo woo!" And just behind the window, near the window, there was a rapid breathing sound of whimpering.

"Hmm?" Shen Mu turned his head to look.

By the bed, two people whose hands and feet were tied and mouths were stuffed with rags, with their upper bodies bare, were wriggling like caterpillars, looking at Shen Mu's direction with faces full of panic.

Noticing Shen Mu looking at them, they whimpered even more excitedly, as if trying to say something.

"Those two Robbers I captured!?" Shen Mu recognized these two, who were extremely classic and the weakest wild monsters in the game world.

But looking at the terrified eyes of these two Robbers, and their gaze didn't seem to be directed at him.

Shen Mu frowned and turned his head: "Looking behind me?"

Then.

He saw that from inside his broken bathroom door, another swaying black figure walked out.

However, it was not the dirty zombie from before, as if it had just crawled out of a grave.

Instead, it had completely turned into a Skeleton.

Wearing tattered clothes, holding rotten wooden sticks or thigh bones, it walked out with a clicking sound, its eyesockets glowing with a faint blue soul fire, an Undead Monster that also hated the living.

"Skeleton." Shen Mu slowly said the name of this Undead Monster, but his mood was not as fearful as before.

Perhaps this was related to the 15 Swadian Recruits around him, each gripping their weapons.
