020 Level up! Title upgrade!

No one dared to make a sound.

No one dared to disturb the figure standing among the horde of corpses at this moment.

It was as if an emperor was savoring his spoils, feeling the glory of victory.

The scattered corpses and countless shattered skulls were like the best medals for that figure.

Therefore, even though the vast basement square was now empty, no one dared to speak up and disturb Chen Bai, who stood in the center.

One hundred and sixty-seven zombies!

Song Ziqiong's hands trembled as she noted down each of Chen Bai's kills, resulting in this terrifying number.

And now, that man was standing there.

They were standing outside the reinforced glass, which offered them no sense of safety.

They felt like subjects gazing upon the back of their king!

Chen Bai, of course, paid no attention to their thoughts.

He was experiencing the changes within himself!

Leveling up was nothing to be surprised about!

Before reaching Level 10, each level-up only granted two fixed attribute points, which was miserly indeed.

However, after class advancement, depending on the grade of the profession, the number of free attribute points and the appearance of upgrade attributes would be determined after leveling up!

Profession and talent were undoubtedly the most influential factors affecting the potential of ordinary Evolvers.

Chen Bai casually allocated these two free attribute points to agility and constitution.

Then, he shifted his gaze to the title.

This widely popular title from the previous life, even if it was upgraded, wouldn't attract much of Chen Bai's attention.

After all, in his previous life, Chen Bai had elevated this title to a higher level!

[Zombie Slayer (E Rank): All Attributes +5, 5% increase in chance of landing a lethal blow against zombie creatures!]

(Note: If more than two thousand zombies are killed, the title will evolve into the E Rank title 'Zombie Slaughterer'.)

Undoubtedly, during the early stages of the apocalypse, the effectiveness of this title was outstanding!

Chen Bai exhaled slowly and turned his attention to his attribute list, which he hadn't paid much attention to for a while:

[Chen Bai (Pioneer) (Zombie Slayer)] [Evolvers ID: 001] [Talent: Virus King (SSS)] [Level: 2 (135/1000)] [Strength: 30 (+1.5)] [Agility: 33 (+1.5)] [Constitution: 33 (+1.5)] [Spirit: 31 (+1.5)] [Charisma: ???] [Luck: ???] [Gold: 31 Silver Coins, 70 Copper Coins]

Powerful!

Even before entering the apocalypse, his overall attribute points exceeded those of an ordinary adult man by six times!

The crushing effect brought by six times the attribute points was comparable to any skill intensity!

It was a pity, however, to look at the experience points.

After leveling up to Level 2, the experience gained from killing ordinary zombies was only one-tenth of before!

It was only 0.1 experience points!

Even with the tenfold experience bonus before the apocalypse, it was only 1 point.

Added to that was the 10% experience gain from being a Pioneer, which was better than nothing.

However, this was normal. The strength of an Evolver wasn't calculated by level.

For example, Chen Bai, who was currently at Level 2, had attributes that were unimaginably high.

Nevertheless, as the saying goes, the greatest benefit before the official outbreak of the apocalypse was the tenfold drop rate!

Looking at the almost full inventory of the Evolver, Chen Bai finally came to his senses.

Many of these items might not have much value to Chen Bai, as they were only basic equipment, but they were crucial for other Evolvers.

However, for Chen Bai, apart from a few select items, the most precious things here were not these.

He turned around and stomped suddenly.

The controlled force prevented his shoes from being damaged, but the layer of bloodstains covering his body turned into mist and dissipated.

Walking out of the reinforced glass wall, Chen Bai ignored the shock of these people and paused:

"Is there a place to take a shower!?"

Song Ziqiong hurriedly came back to her senses: "Yes! I'll arrange it immediately!"

At this moment, Song Ziqiong's obedience was almost instinctual.

There was no choice. Only after witnessing the terrifying impact just now could one truly understand and appreciate the terrifying dominance emanating from this man.

"Also!"

Chen Bai stopped and glanced at Frost, who was still standing there in a daze.

"Have them collect the nails from those things for me. When they leave, I want thirty intact ones delivered to me!"

"Yes!"

This time, the usually aloof female bodyguard appeared extremely obedient.

Authority and prestige were only truly convincing when forged in bloodshed and violence!

Chen Bai smiled, and together with Song Ziqiong, he headed to the top floor of the Qiong Hai Building, to Song Ziqiong's office.

The water washed away the dirt from his body.

Chen Bai glanced at the flowing water from the showerhead and said to Song Ziqiong, who was using a special posture to scrub his back:

"After the chaos in future Jiangcheng, control over the water source will be crucial. Of course, you know better than I do when to do what."

"Yeah..."

"Tomorrow, when you find a new zombie, both you and Song Ge must kill one with your own hands!"

"Yeah..."

During the apocalypse, there was a special rule: under the manipulation of the cosmic will, as long as zombies were killed before the apocalypse officially broke out, the chances of becoming an Evolver after the apocalypse began would be greatly increased.

Even if there were some minor genetic defects, the cosmic will would recognize them as outstanding performers.

Although Song Ziqiong and Song Ge were Evolvers in their previous lives, better safe than sorry!

The same goes for the nurse. I'll have to arrange that later.

Without speaking again, the hot water relaxed the tense muscle cells after the recent slaughter, and Chen Bai finally took a good look at the spoils in his backpack.

Bloodstained shorts, Corpse T-shirt, Bloody Nike sneakers...

A jumble of low-level equipment left Chen Bai dazzled.

However, when all the added attributes were added up, it amounted to about ten points, which could be considered better than nothing.

Most importantly, during moments of surging strength, his clothes wouldn't be torn apart due to releasing power.

Therefore, despite appearing dirty and resembling zombie masks, these low-level equipment from the zombies still had some usefulness!

However, among the chaos, there were several items that caught Chen Bai's eye.

Unfortunately, the blueprint for the zombie claw didn't reappear.

But Chen Bai could understand.

In the previous life, someone analyzed that the precious blueprints in the Divine and Demon Trial Grounds had an invisible value.

Each time something was obtained, the chance of obtaining the same thing next time would decrease significantly!

This led to an increase in the value of blueprints and the equipment items they could produce.

In fact, for many people, some equipment items made from blueprints were considered unique.

While Chen Bai didn't know if the zombie claw was the most precious item produced by low-level zombies, its value was undeniable!

However, this time, there were three items with unquestionable value!

[Rampage Bloodlust]

[Universal F-grade skill book]

[After use, pain sensation -60%! All attributes +3! Lasts for ten minutes, then all attributes decrease by 50%! Lasts for one day! Cooldown: 1 day]

[Learning requirements: Total attribute points > 20]

A skill book!

Skills were absolutely precious during the apocalypse!

They were also an important factor in an Evolver's strength.

Although Rampage Bloodlust at this moment was only a relatively low-level F-grade skill book, and its side effects could be quite deadly, reducing pain sensation was not weak, and the increase in all attributes was only by 3 points.

However, even so, the ability of Rampage Bloodlust could save one's life at a critical moment!

Especially during the early stages of the apocalypse when the effects of attribute points were quite apparent.

Of course, for Chen Bai, it was useless.

The increase was too small, and the side effects were too exaggerated.

Chen Bai didn't need such a thing even in life-threatening situations.

Of course, its value was still considerable. After the apocalypse began, it could be traded for a few gold coins, which would be excellent.

Alternatively, it could be used by subordinates.

The other item was even more interesting!

It was a blueprint, but not for equipment like the zombie claw.

Instead, it was for another relatively low-value type of "secondary occupation" usage blueprint!

[Zombie Virus Serum - Blueprint]

[Item - Potion]

[After being infected with the zombie virus, injecting the virus serum greatly reduces the chance of an Evolver turning into a zombie!]

[Manufacturing method: 500ml of zombie blood! Can be used without limitation!]

(Note: The level of the zombie blood used will determine the corresponding level of the zombie virus serum potion!)

In the long run, the value of this zombie virus serum blueprint at this moment might even exceed that of the zombie claw blueprint.

After all, even if the equipment made from blueprints was only E-grade in the end, these types of potion items' blueprints could last for decades!

This was the real good stuff!

It could unite people and create a huge force during the apocalypse!

Evolvers weren't invincible just because they didn't turn into zombies at the first opportunity.

Unless they had special talents like Chen Bai's immunity to the virus.

If they were injured during the battle with zombies, they would also suffer from the DEBUFF of the zombie virus. If it couldn't be eliminated, or if their constitution was too low, even Evolvers could turn into zombies!

With this zombie virus serum, Evolvers would have no fear when facing zombies in battle!

It could be said that if there were no other signs of the apocalypse in the Divine and Demon Trial Grounds and only zombies were present, with this serum, the apocalypse wouldn't really be an apocalypse.

Unfortunately, this item was only effective against the zombie virus.

Chen Bai put away this item and looked at the last item.

This last item was too familiar to Chen Bai.

[Zombie Heart Pill *10]

[Special item]

[After taking it, +1 constitution, +1 strength! But the user will be infected with a special virus and must take Heart-saving Pills regularly!]

This was a small bottle, and below it was the formula for the corresponding Heart-saving Pills.

This item was somewhat similar to the leopard's marrow pill mentioned in novels.

It was a special means of controlling others.

Of course, it was relatively low-level.

Anyone with a bit of ability could remove it. It wasn't useful for Chen Bai either.

Feeling the slippery feeling on his back, Chen Bai opened his eyes:

"Alright, let's go back."

Zombie Heart Pills could be given to Song Ziqiong to cultivate trustworthy Evolvers for her rear support in the future, but only in the early stages.

As for the zombie virus serum blueprint, although extremely precious, collecting blood and manufacturing a large number of serums using the blueprint also required a time cost.

Chen Bai wouldn't waste time on this.

In the apocalypse, these were all secondary matters.

The most important thing was always one's own strength.

Therefore, both of these items would be handed over to Song Ziqiong to consolidate her rear support!

Putting on the coat and windbreaker prepared by Song Ziqiong long ago, Chen Bai's surging killing intent all over his body subsided, and he walked out of the Qiong Hai Building.

And in front of the prepared car, Frost stood there with a snakeskin bag, ready.

All the zombie nails, still dripping with some black blood, were piled up there.

Chen Bai suddenly became spirited.

In the previous life, although he also had equipment synthesized from blueprints, it was only now, during the early stages of the apocalypse, that he could lay his hands on them!

He really wanted to see if the zombie claw was worthy of being made from a blueprint!
