Chapter 11 Space 2
Any surprise?
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming quickly went upstairs.
She looked at the rooms in front of her with great joy: "Isn't this my home! My playroom, my study room, my cleaning room, and even my energy converter! Hahaha, this is great!"
She couldn't help but go forward and touch and tinker with it.
However, she soon discovered that this game was truly a rip-off! All features required coins, and the only way to earn coins was by killing zombies yourself.
Lu Ming: “…”
Lu Ming was too tired to complain anymore.
She really starts with a knife, and all her equipment depends on fighting! No, she doesn't even have a knife!
She asked a soul-searching question: "What about the energy crystals needed to upgrade the space? I can only rely on my hands?"
Fortunately, the answer is this, regardless of the source.
Phew, finally a little comfort.
She finally remembered a very important question: "What is my special ability?"
The boy smiled: "You don't have any special abilities. Your original body is an ordinary person."
Lu Ming: “…”
Oh shit!
What’s the point of not having super powers?
A garbage game!!
The young man quickly reassured him, "Please be patient, player. Since your sanctuary is already a top-tier item, you can't equip it with any special abilities, as doing so would disrupt the balance of the scene. However, the enhanced effects of the spatial fountain will surpass those of the virus transforming the human body, and the upgraded space will have offensive capabilities, so there's no need to worry."
She realized that this crappy game was trying to tell her that if she wanted something, she had to fight for it herself :)
I'm so tired... Why did I have to be so careless as to play this crappy game in the first place?!
The customer service representative left after explaining the important matters. Before leaving, he said that he was going to start the connection repair and would not appear again until it was successful. If Lu Ming died again, it would be really over.
Well, since there's no way to change it, I can only happily accept it. Actually, think about it, I'm alone there anyway, doing a boring job, so it's not a big deal. For now, I might as well just treat it as a real game.
At worst, I can just collect some things to pass the time, store some food, and hide in the space until the system is repaired.
With a way out, she felt safer. She grew increasingly excited and eagerly checked several rooms. She discovered that each door had a display showing the total gold coin amount, which now read: 0 gold, 0 silver, 60 copper. She recalled that killing a regular zombie only gave her 10 copper coins.
Although she couldn't access the internet, she had bought a lot of miscellaneous information in the past, and now the inventory in these rooms is sufficient.
For example, the study room contains various fighting techniques, a comprehensive knowledge of hot and cold weapons from different eras, a racing guide, a cooking manual for the eight major cuisines of the last era of Blue Star, essentials for survival in the wild, and so on.
The game room houses various holographic games and skill training tutorials.
As for the energy converter, Lu Ming prefers to call it a "universal manufacturing machine."
As the name suggests, as long as you provide energy, you can create many things you want. Now it is obviously equivalent to spending gold coins to buy things. But unfortunately, if you don’t have a pre-stored prototype, you can’t create it, such as energy nuclear bombs, spaceships, etc.
She decided to take a day off, then defeat the remaining four zombies that had activated the first-level space function, then come back to strengthen her body and go back to training.
She must be strengthened and trained, otherwise she is too weak now and will be tickled to death in minutes if she goes out.
I went to the cleaning room, took a nice shower, did a full body treatment, and then exchanged for a sumptuous dinner.
Lu Ming looked at the sweet and sour pork, Maoxuewang, and stir-fried snow peas that seemed to be shining in front of him, and he was so happy that tears were about to flow.
Woohoo, I haven’t had a meal like this in half a month.
It's just too damn expensive! A dinner set costs 15 copper coins, and you have to kill three zombies to get two meals. And these are home-cooked dishes. Don't even think about high-end dishes.
After dinner, she lay down in her familiar bedroom, relaxed, and had her first good sleep in so many days.
The next day, Lu Ming struggled to kill four zombies, clapped his hands, found an empty corner, and slipped into the space.
Lu Ming didn't notice any changes in the space, but he felt warm all over, as if every cell in his body was soothed.
As per the routine, she came to the spring, filled a glass of water with it and took a sip.
Sweet and refreshing, delicious!
Then he drank the whole cup.
At first, a warm current rose from her stomach and spread to her limbs. Then she felt hotter and hotter, and her whole body felt like it was being roasted. The high temperature melted her clothes.
After enduring this period, there was another biting cold, a cold that emanated from the depths of the soul, and even breathing seemed to be frozen.
Her limbs stiffened and she fell to the ground with a thud.
After the alternation of hot and cold, the pain started again, from bones to skin, as if someone had hit my whole body with a hammer.
She curled up on the ground, her fingers digging into the grass tightly, unable to even hum.
After an unknown amount of time, the pain slowly receded like the tide, and the deer's cry subsided.
Damn, why didn't anyone tell her that strengthening hurts so much! !
She was soaked as if she had just been fished out of the water, but she was surprised to find that her body was not tired at all. Instead, it was full of strength. She had the illusion that she could beat ten people by herself.
She took a quick shower and hurried to the game room, spending 10 copper coins to test various indicators of her body.
She was surprised to find that her strength was now twice that of an average adult male, she could jump two meters high, and her reaction speed was very fast.
Moreover, her bones are hard, her muscles are tight and slender, and her skin is delicate and clear. Her original body was white, and now she looks even more watery.
She was very satisfied with the strengthening effect, but the process was too painful. Fortunately, there was a month interval between each strengthening. She hoped that it would not be so painful in the future.
It's a pity that this month refers to real time, otherwise she really wants to stay in the space, adjust the time flow rate to the maximum 1:20, and strengthen it eight or ten times before going out.
Oh, I seem to have forgotten something. Never mind, if I can’t remember it, I won’t think about it anymore.
She went to the study room and spent another 30 coppers to learn a set of knife skills.
Learning in the new technological era is an easy job. All you have to do is buy special consumable materials and use special instruments to put them into your brain, and then everything will be input into your brain.
After that, I spent another 30 coppers to go to the game room for practical training.
Well, the 100 coppers I earned before were spent in minutes.
When I was tired, I slept. When I slept, I practiced. Apart from eating and sleeping, I spent all my time practicing swordsmanship. Fortunately, the spring water in the space, even without the strengthening function, was also a good thing to restore physical strength.
Three days later, which was two months later in the space, from simulation to actual combat, Lu Ming had become an excellent knife wielder, and with his own efforts, he wielded a horizontal sword (200 coppers) that could cut through iron like mud, and earned himself a decent set of equipment.
A cotton long-sleeved shirt, a black windbreaker, hiking pants and high-top hiking boots, gloves, a hat, goggles, and a backpack for concealment. Although it was a bit hot, it looked very cool.
However, although these look good, they are actually not very effective in protecting the body. Zombies can scratch them with a little force, and there is a risk of infection at any time.
She also wanted good equipment, but she had no money, so she could only drool at the advanced nano protective clothing in the system.
Another knife cut off half of a zombie's head. She couldn't help but thank the development of the new technological era. Without those holographic zombie games, she would not have been able to adapt to the act of chopping people so quickly.
By the way, I haven’t used the storage warehouse yet. It is said that it is infinitely large and has a built-in time stagnation function.
She wanted to collect some supplies. After all, relying solely on manufacturing machines was very unreliable. She still needed to have some food in reserve. Besides, if she met Gu Chao and the others in the future, she could share some with them.
Ah! Lu Ming slapped his head and finally remembered what he had forgotten!
She quickly took out the character storyline and entered Gu Chao's name without hesitation.
Fortunately, the system is not too hacked, and the story lines of people related to Gu Chao are written clearly.
Lu Ming read through the entire thing quickly, slammed the table, and yelled, "What a bunch of idiots!"
She was furious. She had originally thought that these people were quite capable and should be able to live well, so she risked her consciousness being wiped out and parted ways with them, not wanting to drag them down. Unexpectedly, they actually...
No, after all, he was the first person I met when I came here. I can't just leave him like this.
But, should I really go and help? Lu Ming looked at the things in his hand, feeling a little conflicted.
Oh, she rubbed her forehead and made up her mind.
You'd better go and help her, otherwise she will feel bad.
Fortunately, I didn’t stay in the space for too long, otherwise I would have missed the time and would have been in trouble.
But time is very tight now, so she bought a pair of skates, ready to drive when she can, and skate or ride a bike when she can't.
He packed himself up, put on his equipment, and slipped out of the space.
It was night, and the surroundings were pitch black, so she didn't have to worry about being seen by any survivors. She found a car with a full tank of gas on the crowded street, reached out and took it, then quickly drove away.
On the way, Lu Ming looted a medium-sized supermarket, a convenience store, a grain and oil store, two clothing stores, a drug store, and even an electric bike store.
Fortunately, these ordinary zombies were rather clumsy and not very strong, otherwise, with so many of them, she might not be able to make it through.
The zombies along the way only smelled the smell of food passing by, and then nothing else.
During this period, as long as people mustered up the courage, it was not difficult to collect supplies or escape to a safe place. So along the way, Lu Ming encountered survivors standing behind the windows of high-rise buildings asking her for help, but she ignored them all.
These people don't have the courage to walk out of this door. If I save them this time, unless I take care of them for the rest of their lives, they will still die.
Lu Ming travels during the day, and doesn't have to look for a place at night. He can just go back to the space to rest.
In this way, after using up three pairs of shoes and the battery of an electric bike, I finally arrived at my destination.
