Boiling Blood and Attack Capability

"Wu Jie said this doll should be kept until the day he finds a woman."

"When I left Salt Well Town yesterday, it was still in his hands. How did it end up with me today?"

He called the players over and asked them about it.

He learned that they had traded for it from a caravan in Colossus City.

"Did Wu Jie sell it, or was his stuff stolen and sold?"

The caravans from Colossus City had a good reputation. Although the prices might not always be ideal, they never resorted to robbery or forced sales. They even protected those who came to trade, so it was unlikely they had stolen Wu Jie's belongings.

Besides, this doll, which had clearly been passed around, was something the important figures of the Colossus City caravans wouldn't be interested in.

"No. When I left yesterday, Wu Jie was going out scavenging. He went alone, and he would definitely have the doll with him. The place he was going was Red City, which is west of Salt Well Town. Colossus City is directly north of Salt Well Town, so his route and the Colossus City caravan's route wouldn't intersect at all."

"Something's not right. There must be some problem somewhere."

He couldn't determine if Wu Jie had met with trouble yet. It was also possible that he hadn't gone to Red City yesterday.

"When I go to Salt Well Town to buy supplies in a few days, I'll check it out then."

Putting the matter aside for now, Cheng Shaofeng ate some Beans and prepared to continue Quantum Surfing. He had already shortlisted a few people and planned to select two more players to descend into this world.

"Wait!"

Cheng Shaofeng took a few steps, then turned back, looking at the three players rubbing their hands in front of the [Loot Generator].

"What the heck are you doing!?"

Cheng Shaofeng felt his brain was overloaded.

Where did the three Raider corpses on the ground come from?

How was the [Loot Generator] in operation?

At this moment, the voices of the three players came over.

Thin Dog: "Good luck, give me a divine artifact!"

Demonic Fox: "Heh heh~ Just give me some early-game usable equipment."

Lin Tang: "Give me some potions or something. It's too slow to recover on my own if I get injured. A bottle of healing potion for four Raiders should be fine, right?"

Cheng Shaofeng: ???

They had killed four more Raiders???

Damn, what kind of god-tier players are these!

He looked at the [Loot Generator] glowing red, a look of envy on his face.

If only I could get a piece of loot.

But he quickly restrained himself. As the lord of the base, he had to maintain his dignity. What was the point of fighting over corpses with his subordinates?

Through the base interface, he saw that Lin Tang's health had dropped a bit and was slowly recovering.

He also had a wound on his backside.

Cheng Shaofeng took off his [Copper Ring of Radiation] and handed it to Lin Tang.

"Soldier, pain will affect your combat effectiveness. Wear my ring, it will help you recover faster. Remember to return it to me after you've recovered."

Lin Tang, looking bewildered, took the ring.

"Thank you, Lord."

Anyway, the equipment had no durability. He could let Lin Tang use it. Once he recovered quickly, he could get back to work.

These three players were quite fierce.

Cheng Shaofeng left the machine, letting the players enjoy the pleasure of opening loot.

He was afraid that his envious tears might accidentally fall out.

"If I get more people like this, I might become the overlord of Four Mountains."

At first, he had been frustrated that his nano-base had no Attack Capability. Now it seemed that the base's player summoning function was the most top-tier feature!

"The Lord, he's really making me cry!"

After Lin Tang put on Cheng Shaofeng's ring, his wound recovery speed significantly increased.

After sharing the ring's information, his two teammates marveled at it.

Demonic Fox: "This is a quality piece of equipment with two attributes, much better than our Maces. As expected of something the Lord uses."

Thin Dog: "This also has attribute damage. It looks very advanced. You know, if I wore this ring and punched a monster's chest with my little fists, would it deal a series of Radiation damage?"

Demonic Fox: "You can try it next time. See if the Raiders let you punch their chests with your little fists. Without the advantage of distance and weapons, how can we fight those huge, muscular guys?"

"Oh, right."

The few points of Radiation damage that the ring provided were actually less practical than the increased life recovery speed.

"It's open, it's open!"

The door of the [Loot Generator] opened, and the conveyor belt inside delivered two items.

[Copper Ring of Resistance]

[Quality: Fine]

[11% Radiation Resistance]

[+1 Health Regeneration per Second]

"Huh? Another ring that boosts health regen and has resistance!"

"Lin Tang, put this ring on too. Your injuries will recover quickly. With these two rings, if you get hurt, you can just find a place to hide and wait for your health to come back. This is great stuff!"

There was also a bottle of red liquid.

[Boiling Blood]

[Gem (for Rings, Necklaces, and Medals)]

[+8% Physical Damage]

[+18 Attack Capability]

"A gem? I get physical damage, it's like the one on the crowbar, but what does 'attack capability' mean?"

None of the three understood the term.

From the nearby [Loot Generator], Zero's voice emerged.

"Attack capability refers to your ability to use your own power to attack. When your attack capability increases, your mental focus becomes sharper during offense, your reactions become quicker, and you'll be more adept in combat, making it easier to find openings and deliver fatal blows!"

Lin Tang immediately understood.

"So, it basically just boosts my mental reaction speed!"

Zero: "You can think of it that way. Now, I'll upgrade your watches to include a function to view your own attack capability."

The three individuals' watches flickered for a moment, and their attack capabilities appeared simultaneously.

Thin Dog: 100

Demonic Fox: 100

Lin Tang: 110

Lin Tang: "Huh? My attack capability is a bit higher than yours? No wonder I feel like my in-game character reacts faster."

Demonic Fox, sensitive to this detail, posed a question to Zero.

"Excuse me... are there differences in our initial physical stats as well?"

Zero: "There are subtle differences between randomly generated clones, but the total energy is fixed. While one might have higher attack capability, they will lose some other attributes, such as height and strength."

"Oh, I get it."

Thin Dog held the two items and said, "These two things are a set... If you pour this blood directly onto the ring, it will have four attributes: attack power, reaction speed, health regeneration, and resistance. If we had more equipment like this, our overall capabilities would improve by a huge leap!"

Demonic Fox placed a hand on his arm: "Don't rush. Let's see what loot the other three corpses yield. There might be even better combinations."

"I was thinking the same thing."

The three of them put all three Raider corpses into the generator.

More loot is being generated.
