"'Yazi' again! It's 'Yazi' again! Who is this guy? Why is he behind every World Announcement?" A man hiding at home said helplessly.
"Holy crap, I haven't even killed a single zombie, and Yazi's already taken down a BOSS solo. This is ridiculous!" A young man said in the same tone from a mall storeroom.
"Right? Damn, we're all players, so how can the gap between us be this huge?" someone beside the young man chimed in.
"Wow, Yazi is so handsome! When will he come riding in on a rainbow cloud and marry this princess?" The ordinary girl hiding in her own tiny, fifty-square-meter apartment was still dreaming.
"Hmph, what a show-off. I wouldn't stoop to getting my name in that announcement." A burly man spoke with unmistakable bitterness.
"No way. If he can solo a BOSS, then I've got to work hard too!" A young man picked up a kitchen knife and bravely walked out of his home, only to have the zombie outside bite him in the face.
"A Bronze Grade BOSS? Damn it, how is this guy so strong? I've been killing zombies nonstop too! I'm going to find a Bronze Grade BOSS as well!" The man smashed the zombie in front of him over the head with a hammer and spoke furiously.
"A name steeped in Dragon Kingdom mythology—he has to be one of us! If a strong player like that is willing to join us, our strength will increase tremendously!" In a manor, a big shot calmly analyzed the situation with his subordinates.
"Woof, woof, woof... Woof, woof, woof..." The little dog barked again. (Hehe, I'm not dead yet!)
"Yazi"!
The name had appeared before everyone for the second time.
And each time it appeared, it came with astonishing news.
If his first zombie kill could have been dismissed as nothing more than good luck,
then his first Bronze Grade BOSS kill was a resounding slap in the face to everyone who had doubted him.
At a time when 99.9999% of people in the world had yet to even see a Bronze Grade BOSS,
Yazi had managed to kill one in a one-on-one fight.
What astonishing news!
"Uh, this time I've caused quite a stir. Looks like I'll have to be careful to hide my handsome face from now on."
Third floor of Modu Gymnasium.
Lin Zhiluo rubbed his face and said helplessly.
After speaking, he took out the card [A Chair].
Once activated, a chair appeared in front of him.
Lin Zhiluo dropped into it.
"Huff, huff..." He began to pant heavily.
Throughout his entire fight with the Zombie Cat, he had been under intense mental strain.
Every collision with the Zombie Cat, whose Strength was higher than his, had forced Lin Zhiluo to give it everything he had.
Predicting the Zombie Cat's next move had also taken a great deal of mental energy.
With astounding willpower, Lin Zhiluo had endured the immense strain on his body.
And he had managed to keep the Zombie Cat from touching him even once throughout the fight.
He had truly achieved a flawless solo kill of a Bronze Grade BOSS.
[Congratulations, player, on receiving the global announcement "Scourge of Bronze"]
[Congratulations, player, on receiving the following rewards: 1,000 Reputation, 1,000 Gold Coins, 3 free attribute points, and a 1-cubic-meter increase to your Storage Space.]
The global announcement rewards had finally arrived.
Lin Zhiluo didn't even have time to rest before checking what he had gained.
His Reputation had reached 2,000, which meant his authority in the Apocalypse Game was now extremely high.
His Gold Coins were in a similar position. Over the course of his journey, he had accumulated a total of 5,000.
The number of Gold Coins would take over a thousand second-level zombies to kill before most people could reach.
Three free attribute points, plus the one point he'd gained upon reaching level seven.
Lin Zhiluo assigned them as two points to Strength and two to Agility.
Lin Zhiluo's attributes had increased considerably.
His Storage Space had also grown to 2.4 cubic meters, twenty-four times the size of other players' at present.
Of course, there was also the Bronze Grade item from the quest reward, along with the achievement "Scourge of Bronze."
[Scourge of Bronze]: Unique title. Awarded to the first person in the Doomsday Game to kill a Bronze Grade BOSS.
Attributes: +2 to all attributes. Reduces the base attributes of BOSSes below Bronze Grade and ordinary entities by 5%.
This achievement!
It was very beautiful.
Without a moment's hesitation, Lin Zhiluo replaced "First Blood" with "Scourge of Bronze."
Of course, the achievement's effects wouldn't take effect until an hour later.
Lin Zhiluo now had more than just these two achievements. He also had achievements like "Zombie Butcher," earned for killing a hundred zombies.
But these were achievements most players had, and their title attributes weren't particularly impressive.
Lin Zhiluo wasn't even interested in looking at them.
After equipping "Scourge of Bronze," his attributes increased again.
Base Attributes: Strength: 23 Spirit: 19 Constitution: 16 Agility: 21
With attributes like these, even if the Zombie Cat came back to life,
Lin Zhiluo was sure he could beat it with ease.
He wondered just how high his attributes would climb after changing classes.
After sorting out his gains, he claimed the Bronze Grade item from the quest reward.
[Stamina Potion]: A single-use Bronze Grade item. Drinking it instantly restores 20% of your Stamina. Afterward, it restores another 5% of your Stamina every minute for 5 minutes. (30-minute cooldown after use.)
Ah, an old friend.
This was a lifesaving item that could come in handy at a crucial moment.
Lin Zhiluo promptly put it into his Storage Space.
After resting in the chair for nearly half an hour, he finally recovered completely.
Lin Zhiluo walked over to the Zombie Cat's corpse.
If he hadn't seen wrong earlier, it looked like a white object had dropped when the Zombie Cat died.
Silver Grade equipment? Or perhaps an item?
Lin Zhiluo felt a little excited.
Up close, it really was a Silver Grade item!
He bent down and picked it up.
[Zombie Cat Horn]: Blowing the horn summons a "Sharp Claw · Zombie Cat." The player can command the Zombie Cat in battle for 30 minutes. Horn cooldown: 48 hours.
(The Zombie Cat inherits 60% of the player's base attributes. All experience and Gold Coins earned from killing zombies go to the player, but the Zombie Cat won't drop any items when it kills them.)
Whoa!
A summoning item.
And it could grow stronger, too.
That's one hell of a deal!
