Happiness suddenly descended upon Liu Nian, leaving her stunned on the spot.
The only way to defeat the boss was through luck and the skeletons; I was just a bystander.
That being said, they picked up the cards from the ground quite quickly.
Just kidding, that's the speed of someone who's been single for thirty years.
[Supply Card: One bottle of Coca-Cola]
Haha, one item with so much, the boss is really generous.
[Skill Book: Summon Ghoul (Necromancer Only)]
I'm so touched. It gave itself to me; I'd feel so bad not to accept it.
[Equipment Card: Ring of Bones]
Since it hasn't been materialized and its attributes are unknown, the drops from the boss probably won't be too bad.
Resource cards, skill books, and equipment cards—they're all great items.
The system's voice came through as I opened the skill card.
[Do you want to learn how to summon ghouls?]
【whether】
"Yes, yes, yes," Liu Nian answered eagerly.
A flash of white light, and the card disappeared.
Immediately, a warm current surged into Liu Nian's mind.
Liu Nian had been clenching her teeth, but this time she didn't feel any intense pain, and the warm current quickly disappeared.
A new skill appeared on Liu Nian's character panel.
Of course, I should use my skills. I glanced at the ghoul's corpse on the ground.
"Would the boss's corpse make the summoned creatures stronger?" Liu Nian suddenly wondered.
Summon Ghouls
The casting time is still a full ten seconds. Unlike skeletons, which require a vessel, ghouls are summoned from the void plane.
The space in front of Liu Nian distorted and then shattered. From the shattered chaos, a six-pointed star array gradually took shape. As the chaos dissipated, a small ghoul appeared before him.
After recovering from the shock of the magic circle, the mere two points of magic power on the panel were equally alarming.
Summoning a ghoul requires a whopping 20 mana points; hopefully, the ghoul's combat power will match the mana cost.
The last card was a ring, and Liu Nian couldn't help but feel excited.
"use"
When the white light faded, an antique-style ring appeared in Liu Nian's hand.
The ring is made from an unknown bone, and the face of the ring is shaped like a skull.
[Ring of Bones (Green)]
Tier 1 Bone Magic: Fang (5/5)
Lethality: 4-8
Recharge: After the number of uses is exhausted, the number of uses will be restored in the early morning.
After reading the ring's description, it turns out to be an offensive spell that addresses a common weakness of summoners: over-reliance on pets and incompetence on their own.
I happily put the ring on.
Now for the grand finale: the reward for the first kill.
At the top of the panel, a compass-like symbol is flashing.
You can't see what prizes are in the roulette wheel; it's all down to luck.
First kill, huh? Surely there won't be any junk or broken metal?
Excitedly rubbing his hands together, Liu Nian silently prayed in his heart, "May the Bodhisattva, Buddha, Jade Emperor, God, and Allah bless me and grant me a suitable treasure."
"lottery"
The compass needle began to spin rapidly, and Liu Nian's heart began to beat quickly in sync with it.
The pointer slows down and then stops in a certain direction.
Before Liu Nian could react, the compass disappeared, and a card appeared in his hand.
"It's actually a talent card!" Liu Nian exclaimed.
[Talent: Soul Devourer (Gold)]
Soul Eater: For every target that grants experience or honor upon kill, the owner will permanently increase their maximum mana by one point.
"Growth potential, gold."
"If I were to start by slaughtering tens of thousands of corpses like someone else, wouldn't I be set off on a winning streak?" Liu Nian suddenly began to let his thoughts wander freely.
After this experience, Liu Nian is full of confidence for the future.
Now I finally understand why there are no infected people in this building; they've all been treated as food by ghouls.
As Liu Nian walked out of the office building, he looked back at it one last time and was filled with emotion.
The number of infected people who were on the streets back then is now very small.
Seeing the few infected people on the road, Liu Nian decided to test the power of the bone ring in his hand.
The infected person on the road not far away smelled the scent of a living person and stretched his neck to run towards Liu Nian.
"Still thinking about how to lure monsters? You've delivered yourself right to my doorstep." Liu Nian joked as he watched the infected running towards him.
To stop the restless skeletons and ghouls, Liu Nian raised his hand, pointing the skull at the infected: "Fangs."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white cloud of gas shot out from the open mouth of the skull on the ring. As it moved forward, it gradually expanded and finally condensed into a balloon-sized cloud of gas, which flew towards the infected.
After contact with the infected person, the gas cloud disappeared, and a large hole exploded where the infected person came into contact with the gas cloud.
The whole process happened very quickly and silently. If Liu Nian hadn't seen the infected person lying on the ground, she would have even doubted her own eyes.
Looking at the bone ring in his hand, he thought, "It's truly an essential ring for home, travel, and even for killing someone and silencing witnesses."
For some reason, this sentence came to mind.
Reaching the unfortunate infected creature, whose body was mostly blasted apart, Liu Nian swiftly and cleanly pierced the infected creature's skull with his spear.
[Congratulations to player Liu Nian for successfully killing the infected and gaining two experience points.]
Opening the panel, the magic value column shows 3/81. The Soul Eater's magic limit is increased, and it even comes with a little extra magic value. What a steal!
I glanced at the experience bar: 124/200. There's still a long way to go before leveling up.
The way home still required crossing five blocks, so Liu Nian felt a surge of pride as he charged back.
As Liu Nian walked along the street, the infected people he encountered all became victims of his gun.
As Liu Nian walked and killed her way through the streets, a convenience store on the roadside caught her eye.
It seems there's no food left at home; the little bit of food in my briefcase will only last for two days at most.
Liu Nian plans to stockpile the supplies cards first; they're food that doesn't take up much space, and she'll use them last.
Food on Earth has an expiration date, so we must conserve it as much as possible.
The convenience store's roller shutter door was not closed, and the view was blocked by the shelves, so the inside could not be seen through the glass window.
Liu Nian touched the wallet she carried with her, wondering if she would have enough money if she met the shop owner.
No, no, no, I didn't know they also sold goods.
After all, no one knows whether the government will end this apocalypse.
After that broadcast, I never received any more news.
If it's unclaimed, that would be best. It's just an emergency, please forgive me!
As soon as I reached the door, I heard suppressed groans coming from inside.
"Is the store really that fancy?" Liu Nian stood outside the door, unsure whether she should go in.
It's not like I haven't read apocalyptic novels before, where girls willingly do unspeakable things just to get a bite to eat.
Now we're not sure if that's the case. What if the couple is willing to go through such a thrill?
"I've been holding back for so long, and this time I finally caught a woman."
Just as he was about to turn and leave, a man's voice came from inside the house.
Upon hearing the word "arrest," Liu Nian's gaze sharpened as he looked into the convenience store.
“Be a good boy and listen to us. We’ll let you go once we’ve satisfied you. Otherwise, this shop owner will be your fate,” another man’s voice came.
"Go ahead and resist! The more you resist, the more excited I get."
Hearing this, Liu Nian pushed open the door and went inside.
"Squeak"
The old glass door made a noise that startled the people inside.
"Damn, who is it? Who's ruining my fun?"
Three heads appeared behind the shelf, facing the doorway, one of them cursing as he spoke.
Seeing that Liu Nian was alone, the three of them quickly exchanged glances, preparing to say something more.
Clang
The sound of shattering glass came from behind Liu Nian. It was the ghoul locked outside the door, which shattered the glass door with its claws.
Skeletons and ghouls filed into the convenience store and surrounded Liu Nian.
Upon seeing this, the three realized that the idea coming from them was tricky and abandoned their underestimation.
Before the other party could speak again, Liu Nian summoned his summoned creatures to launch an attack.
Seeing that Liu Nian was disregarding martial ethics and was about to start a fight without warning, the three people opposite him were so anxious that they hesitated between grabbing their weapons and putting on their clothes.
Caught off guard, one of the men who was hastily putting on his clothes was pounced on by the ghoul. Without armor, his body was instantly pierced by sharp claws, followed by a scream.
Seeing that things were going badly, another person grabbed a weapon and tried to help the fallen man, but was blocked by two skeletons.
The man in the middle, who looked like a minor leader, remained relatively calm. He pulled a pistol from his pants and pointed it at Liu Nian: "Don't move."
Liu Nian was taken aback, not expecting such a deadly weapon as a firearm.
"Throw away the gun!" Seeing Liu Nian freeze, the gunman assumed he had her under control and continued to give orders.
Suddenly, something unexpected happened. The man who came to the rescue was slashed in the arm by the skull scythe and cried out in alarm.
Seeing Liu Nian put down his spear, the gunman assumed Liu Nian posed no threat and turned to see what had happened to the man who had come to his rescue.
Liu Nian flipped his hand, pointing the ring at the gunman: "Teeth!"
