Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

"Now… This is generous…" Shane muttered after seeing the seven Skill Fusion Talisman.

He had been saving his last Talisman as he was worried that he might no longer have a chance to get another Talisman or perhaps, it would take him months to find one.

After all, his experience with the two other Apocalypses made him recall that the Skill Merger in the Fairy Realm Apocalypse would cost a huge price, and he had to save money for several months to request a priest to do so. As for the Skill Synthesis Fluid in the A.I.

Rebellion, that would also be difficult to acquire since it wasn't just money that he needed to gather but also the ingredients for the creation of the fluid itself.

On the other hand, Skill Fusion Talisman could be acquired through Treasure Chests. It felt a lot simple but also difficult at the same time since Treasure Chests weren't that easy to locate since not all Zombie Den has one.

In any case, Shane didn't mind that the Bronze Treasure Chest didn't drop any other materials, as he was already happy with the Skill Fusion Talismans he obtained.

Seeing that Shane had finished looting the Treasure Chest, the members of the Extermination Squad didn't ask about his loot. Aside from that, they also allowed him to peacefully loot the Stoneskin Leader Zombie…

Without any more hesitation, Shane decided to use his Lootkeeper's Timepiece before triggering the Looting Process.

[ Do you want to retrieve the loot? ]

"I do…" Shane replied.

[ You have earned 75 Experience Points. ]

[ You have earned 1 Reputation Point. ]

[ Loots obtained: [ Loots obtained: Item Upgrade Crystal x5, Zombie Cores x10, 2L Water, 300mL Stoneskin Leader Zombie Blood, Spirit Breakthrough Bottle x5 ] x5

"Nice timing!" Shane's eyes lit up as he felt lucky that he had used his Lootkeeper's Timepiece on this Zombie!

After all, the Timepiece just allowed him to obtain 25 Spirit Breakthrough Bottle!

After everything was settled in this cavern, the group continued with their task and eliminated the two leader-type Zombies in the last cavern. They were two Rock Python Leader Zombies this time…

Furthermore, since this was the last cavern, Swain and everyone else no longer hesitated and used all their finishing moves. They didn't care if they lost all of the Spirit Points in this battle!

Here, Shane realized that the firepower of these people wasn't that simple at all. Swain and Maurice seemed to have used the limit of their Prosthetic Arms as they unleashed a powerful beam of energy!

Thud… Thud…

After that attack, two power cores dropped from within their Prosthetic Arms!

'An energy canon?!' Shane was shocked to see such advanced Prosthetic Arms, and he couldn't help but feel alarmed by how Lysandra was selling Prosthetics left and right!

After all, if those Prosthetics had such a powerful weapon, Shane wouldn't agree to sell them. At the very least, they should just be satisfied with working artificial limbs!

[ Shane: Lysandra, I just want to confirm that those Prosthetics you're selling can't fire an energy beam, right? ]

[ Lysandra: Energy Beam? No… Is that even possible? I think those with weaponized Prosthetics would cost more than seventy taels of gold… They're also not for sale; only Lord Kang Zhen's army could have them. I heard that only support functions like detection, grappling hooks, or simple survival knives could be placed for those being sold to the public. ]

"That's good to know…" Shane muttered as he thanked Lysandra through the chat.

Experience tales with empire

Their mission lasted for several hours, and they also took several breaks in order to ensure that everyone was at their full strength, just in case they miscalculated the strength of the Zombies. They even took another hour of break after finishing off the two Rock Python Leader Zombies.

Of course, Shane also offered to purchase the two Rock Python Leader Zombies they killed… However, they actually needed one of the Rock Python's drops, so they decided to loot it themselves.

Anyway, Shane instead drank the Instant Experience Potion while they were resting.

Soon, they all left the Zombie Den and returned to the Shelter.

He currently has 10 Instant Experience Potions, but as he drank one of them, he immediately leveled up to 29!

[ You have consumed the Instant Experience Potion. ]

[ You have earned 200 Experience Points. ]

[ You have leveled up. ]

[ Congratulations! You have reached level 29. ]

[ You have earned 50 Reputation Points. ]

[ You have obtained 90% Off Vouchers ( Reputation Store only ) x2 ]

'I actually leveled up…' Shane nodded as he noticed that instead of just 100 Experience Points, his Instant Experience Points had actually given him 200 Points instead!

Shane then continued to consume the other 9 Instant Experience Potions but he still didn't level up to 30.

Anyway, he was already happy with this result…

Soon, they were able to safely return to the Ivory Gear Shelter, and after Lord Kang Zhen learned that there was no casualty in their mission, he was delighted and even gave Shane another 50 taels of gold as a reward.

Well, it seemed that Swain and the others informed Kang Zhen of how useful he was during their raid.

He was certainly thankful for that addition of taels of gold, but what he really needed now was Spirit Stones, so he could start mass-producing magical items.

Although he had 3,500 low-grade Spirit Stones right now, he knew that he would be spending all of them very soon.

In the end, Shane decided to sell another hundred of his healing tokens for 3500 low-grade Spirit Stones.

Since the Boss Raid event is only two days away, he wanted to ensure that all the members of the Eclipse Revenant would be able to get a high score!

'The reward in that event would definitely be great. All of us need to be in the Top 20 at least.' Shane mused as he started fusing his Survivor Skills to get better options once he started Infusing Skills on various weapons.

Soon, Shane began his Skill Fusion as he combined his Controlled Body Heating and Weather Sense to obtain an Elemental Resistance Skill!
