[The player "Yazi" has undergone a change of heart. Talent "Heart of Revenge" successfully activated.]

The system's notification rang out.

Lin Zhiluo was a little surprised.

He'd activated a talent just like that?

In Doomsday Game, talents and skills were two different things.

Skills could be learned from skill books.

Talents, however, could only be activated naturally when a person's attributes, emotions, state of mind, experience, abilities, and many other factors met certain requirements.

There was no way to activate them through skill books or anything like that.

It all depended on luck and ability.

Take Lin Zhiluo's talent, [Omnipotent Mastery], for example.

It had formed after he spent ten years learning countless skills in the apocalypse in his previous life and eventually synthesized them.

And once he had gained this talent, he would never forget any of the abilities it contained.

Now, through a chance stroke of luck, Lin Zhiluo had gained another new talent.

[Heart of Revenge]: Yazi's resentment! A tooth for a tooth! You will wield even greater power against your enemies!

Attribute: After identifying someone as an enemy, your attributes will increase according to the intensity of your hatred. The greater your hatred, the greater the increase to your base attributes, up to a maximum of 20%.

Lin Zhiluo was delighted. He hadn't expected Heart of Revenge to be so useful.

It could increase his base attributes by up to 20%.

That might not seem like much right now.

But as his base attributes continued to grow, so would the boost this talent could provide.

It was a talent that could keep growing stronger.

Of course, besides the rewards from the game, he couldn't forget the rewards from the Golden Finger System.

"Ding. Host has successfully killed the remaining 269 members of the Li Family Manor and completed the quest [A Tooth for a Tooth]."

"Ding. Congratulations, Host. You have received your quest rewards: one random ordinary Golden Finger and one piece of Bronze-grade equipment."

"Ding. Would the Host like to draw now?"

With his great revenge achieved, he felt refreshed!

In an excellent mood, Lin Zhiluo didn't hesitate. He waved a hand and said decisively, "Draw. Start with the equipment."

"Ding. Drawing one piece of Bronze-grade equipment."

"Ding. Congratulations, Host. You have drawn the Bronze-grade equipment [Small Magic Wand]."

[Small Magic Wand]: Bronze-grade equipment, exclusive to Mage-class professions. A wand that increases the power of magic and speeds up casting.

Attributes: Skill power increased by 5%. Skill casting speed increased by 5%. Spirit recovery speed increased by 20%.

Well.

His luck hadn't been all that great this time.

He'd drawn a piece of Mage equipment that he couldn't use.

Still, it wasn't entirely useless.

For Mage equipment, it was a genuine little gem.

After all, its attributes were well-rounded.

It would be a good choice to sell later.

Lin Zhiluo happily stowed the [Small Magic Wand] in his Storage Space.

He also took out the three pieces of Bronze-grade equipment he'd stripped from Rong Zhan.

He should explain the rules around killing in Doomsday Game.

Although killing people in Doomsday Game didn't result in problems like turning red-named in an online game,

once you killed someone, their Storage Space disappeared permanently.

You couldn't get your hands on anything inside their Storage Space.

All you could do was search the corpse and see if there was anything good.

For now, there was still a chance to loot corpses.

After some time, once everyone understood the rules around death, they would often choose to make sure neither side got anything.

In other words, even if you killed me, I'd put all the treasures on me into my Storage Space so you wouldn't get a single thing.

By then, unless you killed someone instantly, killing them would usually bring no benefit at all.

That was probably one of the measures Doomsday Game had left in place to discourage killing.

Lin Zhiluo held the three pieces of equipment in his hands.

He'd only given them a quick look earlier: one bracer, one necklace, and one ring.

The [Leather Bracer], [Mana Recovery Ring], and [Purification Necklace].

He had to admit, these people had been lucky too. They'd gotten quite a few pieces of jewelry.

He'd glanced at the attributes of the [Leather Bracer] and [Mana Recovery Ring] and shoved them into storage.

His [Ring of Vampirism] and [Lion Bracer] were countless times better than those two pieces of junk.

Only the [Purification Necklace] was a little gem.

[Purification Necklace]: Bronze-grade equipment, a necklace with the power of purification.

Attribute: Spirit +1

Additional Skill: Purification: Instantly removes one negative status effect affecting you, such as petrification, stun, or blindness. Cooldown: 12 hours.

Although the necklace's attributes weren't as good as those of Lin Zhiluo's current [Meditation Necklace],

the additional skill was incredibly useful.

Being able to remove one control effect could save his life in a fight if used well.

So Lin Zhiluo put away the [Meditation Necklace] and equipped the [Purification Necklace] instead.

With the loot sorted, it was time for the moment Lin Zhiluo looked forward to most.

Drawing an ordinary Golden Finger!

He never would have imagined that he could draw two Golden Fingers within 24 hours.

He'd been thrilled when he drew "Auto-Pickup LV1" that morning.

He wondered what kind of surprise this ordinary Golden Finger would bring him.

"System, draw me an ordinary Golden Finger!" Lin Zhiluo said, a little excited.

"Ding. Drawing an ordinary Golden Finger."

"Ding. Congratulations, Host. You have drawn the ordinary Golden Finger: 'Absolute Enslavement LV1.'"

Lin Zhiluo was completely baffled.

What did that mean?

Absolute Enslavement?

Who was he supposed to enslave?

Thinking this, Lin Zhiluo hurriedly checked the attributes of his new Golden Finger.

[Absolute Enslavement LV1]: You can enslave one zombie whose strength does not exceed your own and make it your slave. The enslaved zombie will absolutely obey all your commands and put you first in everything. It will protect you even at the cost of its own life.

(The zombie will have part of a Player Panel. It can grow alongside you and can also have some of a player's permissions. If the bound zombie dies, this Golden Finger will disappear.)

Holy shit!

Holy shit!

Holy shit!

This was like a bull spending the night with ten cows—fucking incredible!

Even with Lin Zhiluo's experience, he felt dizzy and could hardly believe it.

He could enslave zombies!

And he could even give them a Player Panel!

In his ten years of experience, Lin Zhiluo had seen items and abilities that could enslave things.

Some could enslave animals, some could enslave plants, and some could even enslave people (ahem, use your imagination).

But no one had ever dared to imagine enslaving zombies, let alone managed to do it.

And yet now...

This was ridiculous!

It couldn't get any more absurd!

I'm sold. I'm sold!

Golden Finger System, you're amazing!!!
