First Blood

[Congratulations to player "Yazi" for successfully killing a zombie. You have gained 1 experience point and 1 gold coin.]

[Congratulations to the player for reaching level 2. You have gained 1 free attribute point.]

[Congratulations to the player for being the first person in the Doomsday Game to kill a zombie. You have earned the unique global achievement: First Blood.]

[A server-wide announcement will be made shortly.]

Lin Zhiluo clenched his fists!

He had succeeded; he had successfully secured this achievement!

The stats provided by the achievement might not be very important, but a server-wide announcement was the lifelong pursuit of every single player!

The rewards for receiving a global announcement were enough to make anyone's hands tremble with joy!

In his past life, Lin Zhiluo had never once received a server-wide announcement reward, even up until the moment he became a War God.

One could only imagine the difficulty.

And now, in the very first second of the apocalypse, he had already obtained a server-wide announcement reward!

Suddenly, a grand and somber voice resonated.

This voice possessed both the majestic, vast feeling of coming from the sky and the clarity of being whispered directly into one's ear.

In short, whether you were dodging a newly turned zombie or still studying the suddenly appearing notification panel...

As long as you were a conscious player in this world, you could hear these words.

"World Announcement: Congratulations to player 'Yazi' for being the first person in the Doomsday Game to kill a zombie, bravely taking the first step. You have earned the unique global achievement: First Blood, along with massive rewards. May other players learn from this example."

At this moment, the entire world was in an uproar.

Whether they were people who had already accepted the Doomsday Game or those who treated it all as a prank.

They all firmly remembered this player named "Yazi" through this announcement.

"No way, I haven't even seen a zombie yet, and someone has already killed one?" said a man who was still checking the notification panel.

"Damn it, I don't care who killed the zombie, can someone get this ugly zombie behind me away? I'm about to die!" said a man who was being chased by a zombie.

"Huh? Zombie? What is that? Is someone playing a prank on the radio?" a boy who had been immersed in his video games put down his controller and cursed.

He pushed open the door, intending to find out who was pulling the prank, only to have half his face bitten off by a zombie that suddenly lunged at him.

"Interesting, someone is actually faster than me?" A man put down the baseball bat in his hand. On the ground in front of him lay a zombie with its head smashed in.

"Tee-hee, this Yazi person is so cool. I really want him to come and protect this princess," said an ordinary girl hiding in her 50-square-meter apartment, daydreaming.

"Woof woof, woof woof..." a small dog barked. (??? Why are you crashing the scene!!!)

At this moment, Yazi himself, now famous worldwide, was happily collecting his rewards.

[Congratulations to the player for receiving the "First Blood" global announcement.]

[Congratulations to the player for receiving the following rewards: 1,000 reputation points, 1,000 gold coins, 3 free attribute points, and an increase of 1 cubic meter to your storage space capacity.]

Not bad!

With these rewards, he was at least ahead of everyone else by an unknown margin!

Reputation had many uses; some equipment and items required a certain amount of reputation to be used.

Furthermore, some special shops would offer discounts or include small gifts when you purchased items, depending on your reputation.

As for gold coins, if you found the shops hidden within the city, you could use them to purchase items.

These could be tools, equipment, or even supply cards.

Supply cards, in particular, were absolutely the primary source for players to obtain food and survive.

In fact, they were essentially a "pity" reward for those "unlucky" players who didn't get any loot drops from killing zombies.

The three free attribute points went without saying.

Before level ten, every level up only granted one free attribute point; this was essentially starting three levels ahead of everyone else right out of the gate.

And the increased storage space was a tenfold increase for Lin Zhiluo!

The setting for this storage space was that it could not hold living things and could only store items that belonged to the player.

As for how to determine if an item belonged to you, that was entirely up to the game system's judgment.

For example, if an opponent swung a sword at you and you grabbed the blade, you wouldn't be able to store it in your storage space.

However, if they fired an arrow at you and you caught it, you could store that arrow in your storage space.

In short, the situations encountered with this would be quite complex, and one could only rely on the absolutely fair and impartial game system to judge.

After collecting his rewards, Lin Zhiluo felt incredibly satisfied.

Only then did Lin Zhiluo check the achievement he had obtained: First Blood.

[First Blood]: A unique title, only obtainable by the first person to kill a zombie in the apocalypse game.

Attributes: All attributes +1, damage of the first attack each day (after 00:00) increased by 100%.

Lin Zhiluo, who hadn't held much hope for the title's attributes, was suddenly pleasantly surprised.

These attributes aren't bad at all; getting four free attribute points is already a win.

And this 100% damage increase for the first attack of the day—if used well, it might have miraculous effects.

Lin Zhiluo decisively equipped the title.

In that instant, a warm current flowed through his body, and he could clearly feel his physical fitness had strengthened a bit.

He figured he wouldn't need to change titles for the early stages.

Not only can you only wear one title at a time.

But there is also a one-hour cooldown period after switching titles, which is quite troublesome.

However, this is likely to prevent people from constantly swapping between titles with overpowered attributes.

Lin Zhiluo stretched his back.

Looking at the zombie corpse lying in a pool of blood, he noticed a necklace glowing with a green light on the ground.

Is this... a gear drop?

Lin Zhiluo then remembered the Golden Finger System he had obtained earlier: Absolute Drop Rate.

After all, he had just been immersed in the joy of his gains.

Is it really a 100% drop rate?

And it dropped Bronze-tier gear on the very first try?

"Ding, please use the Golden Finger System reasonably, and do not forget the existence of the Golden Finger System."

"My apologies, my apologies," Lin Zhiluo apologized.

He then bent down and picked up the necklace from the ground.

After simply rinsing the bloodstains off the necklace, Lin Zhiluo checked its attributes.

[Meditation Necklace]: Bronze-tier equipment. After equipping, Spirit +1, Spirit recovery speed increased by 10%.

The attributes are very ordinary, as it is only Bronze-tier equipment after all.

But even a mosquito's leg is meat; why care so much about something gained for free?

Lin Zhiluo put the Meditation Necklace around his neck.

There's no need to tell me that; rings, necklaces, bracelets.

It's a real pity that the three pieces of jewelry he had in his previous life were all Epic-tier top-grade items.

However, it's not like there's no chance to obtain them again.

After all, the process of obtaining them was something Lin Zhiluo had experienced personally.
