Chapter 35: Unlock New Skill, Gold C-grade Treasure Chest

Two system notifications rang out. One skill required 2,000 crystals to be strengthened. Stark had directly strengthened his two attack skills to LV. 3. In this apocalypse where most Transcendent humans had not even fully evolved their LV. 2 skills, he was already a step ahead.

Lightning Chain: binds the monster and continuously strikes it.

Lightning Ball Explosion: condenses the power of lightning and deals a destructive lightning strike to the target.

Wind Blade: highly compressed wind, condensing it into a blade-like wind wave and shooting it out.

Tornado Fury: violently releases a whirlwind, sending the surrounding enemies flying.

The harvest was not small.

The gap between LV. 2 to LV. 3 was another huge jump.

After strengthening to LV. 3, although Stark was only level 11, he was on a completely different level from other Transcendent humans.

“It seems like there are still 800 crystals left.”

Stark muttered.

Suddenly, he remembered that although the small number of crystals was not enough to strengthen weapons and skills, he could directly buy a “body strengthening” function from the shop!

Stark immediately opened the shop’s interface. As expected, there was such a function.

[E-grade body strengthening: consume 200 crystals, and you will be able to strengthen a fixed attribute of your body. Gain instant amplification. E-grade amplification range: 1-5 points.]

[D-grade body strengthening: consume 500 crystals, and you will be able to strengthen a fixed attribute of your body. Gain instant amplification. D-grade amplification range: 5-20 points.]

[C-grade body strengthening: consume 1,000 crystals, and you will be able to strengthen a fixed attribute of your body. Gain instant amplification. C-grade amplification range: 20-50 points.]

[B-grade body strengthening: consume 2,000 crystals…]

“System, I want to undergo two D-grade body strengthening. Enhance my agility!”

Other than the remaining 800 crystals on his body, he still remembered that he had also received a free D-grade body strengthening opportunity when he opened the chest.

[Ding, congratulations, Host, for a successful strengthening!]

[Agility increased by 16 points!]

[Agility increased by 17 points!]

Stark was quite satisfied with his two enhancements reaching above 15 points. The reason why he had chosen agility was that he already had the LV. 3 attack skill. His current damage was already enough.

His movement speed and reaction speed were the main points that he should focus on right now.

After the strengthening was completed, Stark closed the shop page.

“Master, there are people around watching you!”

Seeing that Stark had finished dealing with the matter, Luciana suddenly spoke from the side.

Hearing this, Stark’s figure also paused. Luciana was not the only one to sense it. With his strength, how could he not notice the figure hiding not far away?

Stark smiled and said, “That brother over there, there’s no need to hide. Come out and meet me.”

As his voice fell, the figure hiding in the distance moved. Finally, he turned off his superpower, and a yellow-haired man was revealed.

The yellow-haired man walked up to Stark with an awkward smile. He scratched his head and said, “I’m sorry, brother. I didn’t mean to keep an eye on you. It’s mainly because you killed an elite zombie, and the beautiful woman beside you killed so many Transcendent humans at the same time. I’m a little scared, so I didn’t dare to act rashly.

“But don’t worry. I’m different from the others. I have no intention of harming you.”

The yellow-haired man smiled and continued to introduce himself, “Hello, my name is John. I didn’t expect you to be able to kill this elite monster alone. Your strength is in line with our expectations! Do you want to form a team?”

“Are you the person who said that you wanted to form a team with me when I killed the elite monster?”

When Stark heard his voice, he felt that it was somewhat familiar. He narrowed his eyes as he asked.

“That’s right, it’s us. But just now, we didn’t attack you when all the Transcendent individuals wanted to kill you. I think you should be able to understand the sincerity behind this!” John’s face was still filled with a calm smile.

“Forget about sincerity. Moreover, if you want to attack me, you’ve seen the consequences!”

Stark sneered and continued, “Also, I don’t like to form teams! You should hire someone else!”

Sincerity was the most worthless thing in the apocalyptic world. Stark wouldn’t be stupid enough to trust anyone!

“What if I told you that there’s a rare Transcendent in our team who has an armor superpower?”

John said with a hint of pride.

Everyone in the forum knew about the armor superpower. Metal-type Transcendent people not only had a strong defense, but they were also not afraid of being scratched by zombies. It could be said that they were very popular in the current apocalyptic world.

To have a Transcendent who could put on a layer of armor was a bonus for any team. Hence, their strength was needless to say. Many Transcendents were desperate to join their group.

Since he told Stark this news, he was naturally not afraid that he would not join.

“I’m sorry, I still don’t like to form teams!”

Stark’s eyes moved slightly, but he still rejected John’s invitation.

A rare ability. Although it was strong, Stark had a God-class check-in system. What kind of trash was a rare ability?

If he wanted to join this team of armored Transcendents, it was obvious that they would only treat him as cannon fodder.

Why would Stark be restricted by others?!

John didn’t expect that Stark still refused to join even after hearing about the rare Transcendent. This made him frown.

To be honest, he wanted to leave this place right now.

However, when he thought about it, he had been posting for a few days, but there weren’t many experts who had contacted them. It was unusual to see an expert like Stark today. He couldn’t help but lower his voice and say, “What if a clue to a C-grade treasure chest is added to the mix. Are you interested?”

“C-grade treasure chest?” Hearing this, Stark raised his eyebrows, and his interest was piqued.

After all, his God-tier check-in system only allowed him to check in once a day. The rest of his free time still required him to work hard. For this, he needed to do the same as when he opened the D-grade treasure chest earlier. Not only would it drop crystals, but he could also sell the equipment inside in exchange for crystals.

The D-grade treasure chest earlier had allowed him to obtain more than 3,000 crystals from the D-grade Transcendent equipment.

That C-grade treasure chest and C-grade Transcendent equipment…

When he thought of this, a glint flashed across Stark’s eyes.

“If there’s really a C-grade treasure chest, I don’t mind considering it.”
