Chapter 7: To the Tianshui Compound (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the morning, when he woke up, the sky was already bright outside.

The roars of the zombies last night never stopped. Coupled with the occasional human screams, Chu Heng woke up several times in the night. He finally fell asleep, but he woke up before he could sleep for long.

Even though his physical fitness had improved greatly, he still felt a little dizzy when he woke up because of the short sleep and the nightmares.

Chu Heng knew that this situation would not improve in a short period of time. After some time, his body would adapt to this environment.

When he reached the window, the situation outside was no different from the day before. The zombies on the street were still bustling as if they were at a market.

But the good news was that over the course of the night, a lot of what he’d put up had been sold.

In addition to obtaining 30 to 40 bags of bread and 10 bottles of water, the number of Crystal Cores on his body had also reached 50. There was also a plus sign behind the various attributes on the player panel.

Chu Heng checked carefully. This plus sign was not there when he killed the zombie yesterday.

Every ten points of the player’s attribute is a phase. The number of Crystal Cores consumed to increase one attribute point in the same phase is the same. The number of Crystal Cores needed to increase one point in the next phase will be increased by one.

Currently, the Crystal Cores required to increase one Strength, Agility, or Constitution Point: 2

Chu Heng lowered his head and pondered. In that case, if his initial strength attribute was 10 points, he would need 431 Crystal Cores to raise a single attribute to 99 points without considering potions or other support.

If an ordinary person wanted to awaken, they would need at least 120 Crystal Cores.

This meant killing more than 120 zombies…

And this was just one person!

“Hiss…”

Chu Heng gasped.

This was only the beginning of the awakening stage. At the later stages, the number of Crystal Cores needed would definitely be even higher.

Crystal cores could only be obtained from the corpses of zombies or other bloodthirsty creatures.

In that case…

As a necessity for the player’s evolution, the existence of bloodthirsty creatures was not only a threat but an important resource.

A strategic resource comparable to food and water.

And this kind of competition over resources would inevitably lead the players to polarize. The strong would always be strong, and the weak would always be weak. The gap between the two would become bigger and bigger, and in the end, the strong would be able to control the fate of the weak at will.

Thinking of this, Chu Heng’s eyes instantly turned cold.

He didn’t want to dictate someone else’s fate, but he definitely didn’t want to be dominated by someone else either.

Before he came into this world, his future had been set on a course that could not be changed. He might not be able to control his fate.

However, after coming here, everything had been reshuffled. This time, with the cheat in hand, he had the chance and qualification to choose his fate again.

So he had to get stronger, become the strongest one.

“Since I want to become the strongest, I’ll take the strongest path. I’ll first raise all three attributes to the limit, then find the so-called seeds to awaken!”

Chu Heng muttered to himself as he looked at the 52 Crystal Cores he had and thought about how to distribute them.

There was bound to be a fierce battle today. He would encounter a large number of zombies and might have to fight for a long time.

Therefore, Strength, which corresponded to damage ability, and Constitution, which corresponded to endurance ability, were naturally the first choices. Next was Agility, which corresponded to the speed and reaction ability.

A moment later, Chu Heng made his choice. He raised his Strength and Constitution to 30 points respectively, and the remaining Crystal Cores were all invested in Agility.

In an instant, a powerful energy surged into his body, followed by a familiar pain.

This energy swam all over Chu Heng’s body. Wherever it went, his muscles tore apart and reformed, becoming more solid and explosive.

Under the surging energy, Chu Heng even felt that he could kill a tiger with a punch.

He looked at the panel again. Once again, it had changed drastically.

Player: Chu Heng

Gender: Male

Strength: 30 (The average is 10, the human limit is 99)

Agility: 27 (The average is 10, the human limit is 99)

Constitution: 30 (The average is 10, the human limit is 99)

Talent: None

Looking at the terrifying data, Chu Heng could not help but nod in satisfaction.

It had been less than a day since the game started. Before many people had ‘started business’, his attributes had already reached a relatively exaggerated level.

Whether it was Strength, Constitution, or Agility, they were almost three times that of an ordinary person. Although he might not be able to reach three times the strength and speed in real combat due to the lack of techniques, it was already enough to deal with most people.

Coupled with his powerful long-range weapon and crowbar for melee combat, Chu Heng was confident that he was not inferior to anyone.

Moreover, with the help of the hidden hint system, the gap between him and the others would only widen.

As his strength increased, Chu Heng took out his longbow and tested it.

As expected, he was already able to completely draw the bowstring. The crowbar that was slightly heavy with one hand previously was just suitable now. It was neither too light to hold in his hand, nor too heavy to wield.

All at once, the frustration of not having slept well the night before was swept away.

“A beautiful day, starting with a full stomach…”

Chu Heng muttered and took out bread and water from his space ring.

Similarly, as his physical attributes increased, his appetite increased again. This time, he ate five pieces of bread in a row before he was full. Then, he sat on the sofa and started to contact Zhang Ming.

It was difficult to fight an outnumbered battle. The number of zombies in the compound was probably not small. Even though Chu Heng’s current strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, Zhang Ming’s help was indispensable if he wanted to conquer the Tianshui Compound.

“Are you awake?”

The message was sent. A few minutes later, Zhang Ming sent a reply.

“I just woke up. Do you have any orders, Big Boss?”

Looking at the extremely obvious dark circles around the guy’s eyes, Chu Heng couldn’t help but laugh. He immediately felt better.

‘Looks like I wasn’t the only one who didn’t sleep well last night.’

“Are there many zombies at the entrance to the compound?”

Zhang Ming was woken up by Chu Heng’s message. His dizzy head immediately sobered up when he saw Chu Heng’s message.

The two of them had only met yesterday and had no other interactions apart from the map deal. There was only one possibility for Chu Heng to take the initiative to ask him about the situation at the entrance of the compound.

Zhang Ming was pleasantly surprised and quickly asked.

“Are you here to conquer the Tianshui Compound, sir?”

Seeing his reply, Chu Heng was stunned for a moment. He thought for a moment and replied, “Yes.”

Zhang Ming was silent for a moment. He peeked over the lower edge of the window, took one look and immediately crouched down. Then he replied in the chat box.

“There aren’t many zombies at the door. What do you need me to do, boss?”
