Counting the Spoils, Zombie Summoning Card

"Hiss~ It was actually bound to the dormitory's main door." Xu Lang had immediately gone out to check the surveillance camera's information, wanting to see how much durability it had. He had not expected an answer like this.

A camera that could not be destroyed—just thinking about it was exciting.

It could guard against ambushes and observe information about monsters outside. It had plenty of uses.

By that logic, those refrigerators, air conditioners, and the like probably would not be ordinary either!

Still, what was missed was missed. There was nothing to regret.

Xu Lang returned to the dormitory in high spirits and shared the camera's information with Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi.

The two women shrieked excitedly.

The camera was enormously significant. It meant they could see what was happening outside the door and no longer had to rely on the peephole to catch only a glimpse of things.

Next, the three of them began tidying up the room.

They might not have cared about cleanliness before, but now they had to.

There were too many miscellaneous items, all sitting out in the open in the middle of the room. They were an eyesore.

Xu Lang was very satisfied with the upgraded dormitory. His only slight regret was that it had no windows.

He had looked at all three floor plans at the time and had not found any windows or balconies.

After finishing all that, Xu Lang directly opened the chat interface.

A great many people had tagged him. Some asked whether he had a gun, how he had killed the Big Zombie, what items the Big Zombie had dropped, and so on. Others were concerned about his door, wondering why it had upgraded so quickly.

When they saw that Xu Lang was not replying, their enthusiasm gradually faded, and he was mentioned less frequently.

Almost everyone silently labeled Xu Lang as "cold," but no one dared complain about it in the public chat.

Because someone had discovered that Zhou Tao had been shot to death!

"Most people put their attribute points into Constitution..."

Xu Lang quietly gathered information.

The effects of adding points to Spirit were not obvious. It only made people more focused and clear-headed, and many of those who had added points to it regretted it.

Then, Xu Lang opened his own information panel.

[Player: Xu Lang]

[Seniority: First Phase]

[Door Number: 200 (Homeowner)]

[Attributes: Constitution 7, Spirit 6]

[Free Attribute Points: 6]

[Skills: None]

[Backpack 3/9: Baseball Bat, Alloy Combat Knife, Colt Viper]

[Funds: 21,320 Copper Coins, 1 Silver Coin, 0 Gold Coins]

"Seven points of Constitution is still a little too low... It's even slightly worse than Wu Huihui's... This is a disadvantage caused by my weak health back then."

Xu Lang was also considering how to allocate his points.

The best approach for free attribute points was to save them. The Spirit attribute definitely was not as simple as it appeared, otherwise it would have no basis.

But the problem was that he still had to fight against others later and compete for the upcoming super gift pack!

This was the difference between people. While everyone else was still immersed in the joy of surviving a near-death experience, top players like Xu Lang were already considering what came next.

If Wang Yang were still alive, perhaps he could have thought of this too. Unfortunately, he was already dead.

"Xu Lang, what are you thinking about?" Cao Yaxuan could not help asking when she saw Xu Lang spacing out.

"I'm thinking about how to allocate my points." Xu Lang came back to himself and said, "I haven't asked you two yet. What are your Constitution and Spirit?"

Cao Yaxuan replied, "Both are five."

"Me too." Tong Qi nodded along.

Xu Lang: "..."

So even a woman had a stronger Constitution than him?

Constitution probably was not reflected solely in strength. It also included agility, coordination, and so on, though everyone had different strengths.

"Then don't be in a hurry to allocate your points. The attribute points might have important uses later," Xu Lang said.

"Okay," Tong Qi answered.

Cao Yaxuan instinctively asked, "How do you know?"

"Believe it or not." Xu Lang spread his hands.

Cao Yaxuan immediately pouted, feeling that Xu Lang was being a little fierce.

But Xu Lang had actually used a perfectly normal tone.

"Alright, let's take a look at what we have." Xu Lang gave a light cough and changed the subject.

Now was the time to take stock of the spoils, so he could make choices based on their overall combat strength.

"Sure, sure." Tong Qi clapped her hands, acting as the hype crew.

Xu Lang first took out the drops from the Big Zombie. It had dropped some copper coins, and besides that, there was a card.

[Zombie Summoning Card]

[Type: Permanent Item]

[Level: 1]

[Effect: Summons a level 0 zombie to attack enemies for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 30 minutes.]

[Summon Attributes: Constitution 3]

[Summon Skill: Infection]

[Upgrade Requirement: 75 Nightmare Coins]

[Description: A biochemical creature that can howl]

"Permanent item?"

Xu Lang found the term rather interesting.

Since there were permanent items, there should also be consumable items.

"Eek, Xu Lang, hurry up and put that thing away!" Cao Yaxuan said fearfully.

She hadn't used the Zombie Virus Immunity Serum. If it scratched her even once, she would be done for.

Although Xu Lang had shared the information, they still couldn't see the upgrade requirements.

"It feels just like a Yu-Gi-Oh card," Tong Qi said nostalgically.

Xu Lang smiled and put the card away.

Though this summoning card was not especially powerful, it could still be used to scare people. Its Infection skill was also quite good—it could disrupt a person's cells, causing fever and dizziness in mild cases, or turning them into zombies in severe cases.

After that, Xu Lang took out the loot he had picked up from Zhou Tao.

The crawling monster's loot should have already been taken, but there was a problem.

Xu Lang had not found anything special among Zhou Tao's pile of items!

Other than a silver coin.

[Store in panel? Yes/No]

Xu Lang chose yes, and the silver coin in his hand immediately vanished.

"Xu Lang, did you kill Zhou Tao?" Cao Yaxuan asked weakly, glancing at the key engraved with the number 24.

"Speak properly. You sound like a mosquito buzzing," Xu Lang said with a frown.

Cao Yaxuan took a light breath and asked, "Did you kill Zhou Tao?"

By checking the chat logs, they could see people saying that Xu Lang had shot Zhou Tao dead.

"Mm, I killed him." Xu Lang nodded.

"Alright, then." Cao Yaxuan didn't think much of it. She had merely asked out of curiosity.

After all, the person involved was right in front of her. It was perfectly normal to get a little gossip.

After saying that, Cao Yaxuan explained to Tong Qi, "Zhou Tao kicked our door before. He was our enemy."

"Oh~" Tong Qi looked enlightened.

She had thought Zhou Tao had tried to do something to Xu Lang, prompting Xu Lang to kill him. She hadn't expected the two to have that kind of grudge. Then he really deserved to die.

"This might be useful." Xu Lang sorted through the items and put a syringe into his backpack.

[Adrenaline Injector]

[Type: Medicine]

[Level: 1]

[Effect: Greatly reduces pain and increases endurance]

[Upgrade Requirement: 40 Nightmare Coins]

[Description: You need not doubt the value of a life-saving shot]

In the end, after sorting through everything he had gained, only eight items remained in his backpack.

Colt Viper, alloy combat saber, Adrenaline Injector, Instant Sirloin Steak, Tasty Whole Wheat Bread, Green Bull Energy Drink, mineral water x10, and the Zombie Summoning Card.

Besides those, he held something in his hand that was even more valuable than everything in his backpack combined!

Superpower Serum!
