The Badminton Hall door swung open.

Lin Zhiluo walked out.

Maybe he'd gotten too much good stuff earlier and used up all his luck for the day.

The dozen or so zombies inside the Badminton Hall had mostly dropped Supply Cards.

The only usable item that had dropped was a bottle of stamina potion.

Lin Zhiluo checked his kill count.

Not enough.

He was still a dozen or so zombies short of completing the task.

On top of that, he was only a little over a hundred experience points away from reaching level eight.

Lin Zhiluo rested for a bit.

Then he headed for the Tennis Hall across from the Badminton Hall.

He pushed open the Tennis Hall door.

He counted roughly twenty zombies inside.

Good. That was enough.

Lin Zhiluo locked the Tennis Hall door.

The zombies inside were about to meet their end.

"Ding! The host has successfully killed 100 zombies inside the Modu Gymnasium and completed the task 'One Against a Hundred.'"

"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have received the task rewards: one randomly selected ordinary Golden Finger and one piece of Bronze Grade equipment."

"Ding! Would the host like to claim the task rewards now?"

"Wait a moment," Lin Zhiluo said.

There were still five zombies left in front of him.

He'd deal with them first.

He was quite eager to see which Golden Finger and piece of equipment he'd draw.

So he stopped holding back.

"Whirlwind Slash" and "Explosive Dual Slash."

He unleashed the two skills one after the other.

The five remaining zombies died on the spot.

Using skills consumed quite a bit of mental power.

However, Lin Zhiluo's mental power stat was high to begin with.

Even after using each skill twice, he still had plenty of mental power left.

After killing the zombies, he didn't go pick up the items they'd dropped.

Instead, he opened the Golden Finger System right where he stood.

"How do I draw? What's the process?" Lin Zhiluo asked.

"Ding! Which reward would the host like to draw first?"

"Let's draw the equipment first. I'll get that out of the way and save all my luck for the Golden Finger," Lin Zhiluo said.

It was a habit of his.

He liked to save the important, good stuff for last.

Other people might not know, but for him, doing things in that order usually brought good results.

"Ding! Drawing Bronze Grade equipment."

"Ding! Congratulations, player. You have obtained Bronze Grade equipment: Ring of Vampirism."

[Ring of Vampirism]: Bronze Grade equipment, an evil ring that drains an enemy's stamina during battle.

Attributes: Strength +1, Constitution +1

Ability: 5% of the damage you deal to an enemy can be converted into stamina and transferred into your body through your weapon.

When he first saw that it was a ring, Lin Zhiluo was very disappointed.

After all, a person could only wear one of these.

And he already had a Ring of Nightfall, so he didn't need another ring-type item for the time being.

The Ring of Nightfall didn't have very good attributes, either.

But he never expected the Ring of Vampirism to have such a rare attribute.

"Drains damage and converts it into your own stamina."

In his previous life, Lin Zhiluo had known just how precious this attribute was.

Even plenty of people who'd reached War God rank wore Gold Grade equipment that could drain stamina.

There was no helping it. The effect was just that good.

War Gods were already powerful, and their skills hit hard.

During battle, they could unleash a set of area-of-effect skills on a horde of zombies.

With this attribute, they could easily recover a good amount of stamina and jump right back into the fight.

In short, it was an extremely useful effect that helped people keep fighting.

So Lin Zhiluo didn't hesitate.

He took off the Ring of Nightfall and put on the Ring of Vampirism.

He lost a little mental power, but gaining Strength and Constitution was a worthwhile trade.

At that moment, Lin Zhiluo suddenly began to worry.

What if I used up all my luck drawing the Ring of Vampirism, and I get a lousy Golden Finger?

"Ding! Please rest assured, host. Every ordinary Golden Finger has a practical effect and can provide you with substantial help."

"Fine, I trust you. Draw the Golden Finger for me," Lin Zhiluo said.

"Ding! Drawing an ordinary Golden Finger."

"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have drawn the ordinary Golden Finger 'Auto-Pickup LV1.'"

Lin Zhiluo's breathing grew heavy.

Auto-Pickup!

Could this Auto-Pickup really work the way I think it does?!

He hurriedly checked its attributes.

[Auto-Pickup LV1]: Automatically picks up items dropped by zombies killed by the host and places them in the Storage Space. Range: within a 0.5-meter radius of the host. (If there is not enough space left in the Storage Space, items can no longer be picked up.)

Holy shit!

Holy shit!

Holy shit!

This was so awesome it was like a cow going on vacation to Antarctica!

Even though Lin Zhiluo had already seen the Golden Finger System modify drop rates and change the Doomsday Game's tasks, the ordinary Golden Finger it had just shown him still left him stunned.

It could automatically pick up items dropped by zombies he killed.

What did that mean?

He wouldn't have to waste time cleaning up the battlefield anymore.

He wouldn't have to worry about someone stealing the fruits of his labor.

Every item he got would go straight into his Storage Space.

From now on, he could keep killing zombies, enjoy a 100% drop rate, and gather supplies nonstop.

The Golden Finger System really lived up to its name!

Lin Zhiluo had been a little worried earlier. With his drop rate so high, he'd have to avoid killing zombies in front of other people as much as possible.

After all, who wouldn't get suspicious after seeing a single item drop from every zombie killed?

Now, after he killed the zombies, the items would slip into his Storage Space without anyone noticing.

Who could even see them?

The only thing Lin Zhiluo found confusing was what LV1 meant.

"System, is LV1 the level of this ordinary Golden Finger?" Lin Zhiluo asked.

"Ding! That's correct. LV1 represents the level of the ordinary Golden Finger Auto-Pickup. The host can draw Auto-Pickup again with another ordinary Golden Finger draw, thereby increasing its level."

"What does increasing its level do?" Lin Zhiluo asked.

"Ding! Increasing Auto-Pickup's level will expand its range and may even grant it other additional effects."

Its range could increase, too?

That was freaking ridiculous!

Lin Zhiluo couldn't resist the temptation anymore.

"Are there any more tasks? Give me a few more right away. I want to keep drawing," Lin Zhiluo pleaded.

"Ding! Tasks from the Golden Finger System will be triggered at random based on the host's surroundings, condition, and circumstances. Please remain calm and do not fixate on them. Enjoy the Doomsday Game at your leisure."

Fine.

Lin Zhiluo had just been saying it on a whim.

It wasn't something that could happen anyway.

As for the first ordinary Golden Finger he'd drawn, Lin Zhiluo was very satisfied.

At the same time, he was even more eager to find out what other Golden Fingers could do.

What effects would the others have?

And once he reached level ten, he'd have another chance to draw a Super Golden Finger.

The power of Absolute Drop Rate had already been incredible.

Who knew what even more outrageous Golden Finger he might get next?

After getting a new ability, he was itching to try it out.

Lin Zhiluo walked toward the zombies he'd just killed.

He hadn't picked up any of the items they'd dropped yet.
