18 That's really unbelievable...
Ming held his crossbow, aimed at the room, thoroughly cleaned up the entire floor, he ensured that no zombies slipped through the net. Where did this sound come from?
Pitter-patter~ The sound came again.
Ming held his crossbow and tiptoed into the room, the kitchen was clear.
Pitter-patter~ The sound came once again.
Ming turned around with his crossbow aimed at the living room, but still found no zombies.
Pitter-patter~
Ming listened carefully, feeling that the sound should not be coming from a zombie. He freed one hand to knock on the dining table, no zombie ran out.
What could it be then?
Pitter-patter~ The sound was getting closer.
Listening to the sound, Ming thought it seemed to be coming from the chair behind the dining table. He immediately kicked the chair flying, aimed the crossbow, and found a fish jumping around on the ground.
He remembered, wasn't this one of the fish that Da Vinci had 'saved' out of compassion?
It was that kind of ornamental koi. Incredibly, since the time Da Vinci rescued this fish until now, about twenty hours had passed. Not only was this fish still alive, but it was also jumping around so energetically. Could it have turned into a zombie fish?
Ming walked over and stepped on the fish's tail.
Crack~ The fish immediately flipped over and bit his shoe sole.
Damn! This fish is fierce.
Bloody hell!
At this moment, Ming noticed that the fish's eyes were light green. Could it be an elite mutant creature?
Whoosh~ The fish broke its tail, leaped up, and charged directly toward Ming's face.
"Damn!" Ming dodged, avoiding the fish's attack.
Sure enough, the fish had mutated and could even bite.
The fish hit the ground, Ming stepped forward and pinned it down, rolling it under his foot.
Plop~ The fish's belly burst and its intestines flew out.
[Killed Elite Mutated Creature—— Freed Koi, Reward Experience +5]
[First Chapter Individual Achievement Task, Progress of Killing 5 Elite Mutated Creatures 2/5]
"..."
Ming was stunned, looking at the burst koi under his foot, this damned thing was actually an elite monster, and it was so easily crushed by him?
That was too easy!
Ding~ Triggered Da Vinci's [Unexpected Joy]Drop Rate Increase by 500%.
A blue light column up to two meters high stood up.
"Oh, this..."
To be honest, Ming didn't have any expectations for a fish. It was enough to add some experience, after all, it was a weakfish. But he didn't expect it to burst out a blue card, this was quite outrageous.
He was wondering, what could a fish drop?
Immediately checked the card:
[Koi Necklace: After wearing, every time you open blind boxes, dig for treasures, buy goods, and accept hidden tasks, the Koi effect will be triggered, harvest doubled, goods discounted to 80%, and hidden task difficulty reduced by 10%]
"Real... strong... ah!"
Ming looked at the introduction of the Koi Necklace, and he was almost floating. This thing was too great, opening blind boxes, and digging for treasure maps yield doubled, and goods were discounted by 20%, this didn't need to be explained, it was just great. The difficulty of accepting hidden tasks was reduced by 10%, plus the title 'Short and Fast' reduced the difficulty of hidden tasks by 30%, that's almost half the difficulty reduced.
This was too cool!
He immediately turned around and want to find the other few fish, and indeed found two in the bathroom, crushed one with his foot, each giving 1 point of experience. Apparently, it just gave a little bit of experience, it seems to be just ordinary zombie fish, but this kind of experience is free, which is great.
After searching again to make sure there were no fish left, he returned home. It seems that he needed to pay more attention to houses with fish in the future.
He also understood that the reason for getting the Koi Necklace was all due to Da Vinci's talent [Unexpected Joy], and this [Unexpected Joy] was quite interesting, with the drop rate increasing several times.
The first stage is a 100% normal drop rate increase.
The second stage is a 300% triple drop rate increase.
The third stage is a 500% quintuple drop rate increase.
The fourth stage is a 1000% tenfold drop rate increase.
This time, it triggered a 500% drop rate increase randomly, and bursting out the Koi Necklace was indeed an unexpected joy.
Back home, Ming first looked at Da Vinci, who was still sleeping heavily, so he gently stroked its small head. This creature stuck out its tongue and licked his hand, then continued to sleep.
[Your Traveling Frog Da Vinci, feels your caress, but it's not working time now, no matter how comfortable the touch is, I will not go to work]
[Ming, you can give up this idea, even if you are a capitalist, I am an indifferent proletariat, no matter how you fawn over me, I will remain unmoved]
"silly~" Ming kneaded Da Vinci for a while, then sat on the sofa to rest, and took out the dozen or so cards from the zombies he had killed earlier and checked them one by one.
The first few were beginner combat equipment, which basically had no improvement for him now, so he simply stored them all in the Brain Domain Warehouse.
There were also several beginner treasure maps and durability repair cards, only the last one had a new card:
[Beginner's Mist: One-time consumable item, that produces a 10-meter range of fog in the thrown area. All creatures in the fog, except you, will temporarily lose their visual ability, and the fog lasts for 10 seconds]
"Good stuff."
Ming carefully read the description of the mist, which is a means of unexpected assassination.
The other cards are basically very common things, none of which he can use now.
[Ding~]
[All channel broadcast, first of all, congratulations to all survivors, seeing this message means that you are still alive]
[The 72-hour night of the first chapter has passed 24 hours, and the end-of-the-world trade will be opened next, please arm yourself as soon as possible, after all, the mutant creatures of the second night will evolve again, and become stronger~]
[End--world trading is open, opening the trading channel]
Buzz~
A 32-inch light screen appeared in front of Ming out of thin air, just like before, with the end--world shop on the left, the free trading channel on the right, and the trading chat channel at the bottom.
As soon as it was opened, the chat channel was already filled with a bunch of messages.
Desert Eagle 214: "Brothers and sisters, who has water? I'm traveling in the desert and there's no water at all. I killed two backpackers who turned into zombies and only got three end-of-the-world gold coins. If you have water, loading it up, I'll buy it right away. Don't rip me off too much, I still have to get out of the desert."
*828: "Who has clothing equipment? I was just scratched by a zombie and the clothes I finally got were blown up. If you have clothes, give me one quickly. The price is negotiable."
***Hat 213: "Don't even think about it. I killed no less than ten zombies, and except for beginner combat boots and gloves, I didn't see a single weapon."
*821: "What's killing ten? My friend and I killed more than thirty and didn't see a single weapon. If any of you guys have weapons, put them up, I need three here."
**223: "Brothers, I only have two ends--world gold coins. Who can pity me, put up some food and drink, and then put up a weapon for me to defend myself."
Killer 333: "Little sister, stop dreaming. How many people in the world are watching the trading channel? Even if someone pities you and puts it up at a low price, it will be snapped up in an instant. Don't trick people here. If you don't tell me your coordinates, I'll go there and protect you myself."
***12: "Don't listen to the one above talking nonsense, he's just scheming!"
**Guild 1: "Everyone, our guild is collecting a large number of weapons and equipment, the price is fair and reasonable. If you are interested, please come to the city center news building."
Strongest Honor Guild 2: "The strongest credit is the best, the strongest credit is the strongest. Survivors in J City, your gospel is here. Want to join a group for warmth, want to have a warm and safe home? Please come to the city's Heaven on Earth Hotel. We, the strongest credit, guarantee your satisfaction."
"..."
Ming roughly scanned the chat area, and this Strongest Honor Guild caught his attention.
Of course, it's not about joining. It's clear that in this end-of-the-world era, no one will provide you with protection and living supplies for free. You definitely have to pay a price. It's just that this Strongest Honor is in the same city as him, and he didn't expect that there is such an organization in J City.
But in this chat channel, he also learned that the equipment drop rate is not so high, especially for weapons and clothes. Thinking about it, most of the equipment he got from killing zombies was triggered by Da Vinci's [Unexpected Joy] talent.
He found a way to make money, which is to sell equipment.
"Damn!"
Ming, who was browsing the chat area, suddenly froze. The chat area was directly controlled by comments. Of course, if it was just simple comment control, he wouldn't be so surprised. The main thing was the content of the chat area, which was actually calling for him.
