Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

46  Rewards

Shane's eyes sparkled as he laid eyes on the reward - a discount voucher!

He actually reached level 12 by only looting seven Spitter Zombies. He still had two regular Spitter Zombies and one Chief Spitter to loot!

Despite his curiosity about how to use this voucher in the store, he refrained from checking it immediately, as he had already checked the store's offerings before the Zombie Wave began.

The only item that piqued his interest was the Single-Sized Bed, priced at 15 Zombie Cores, a cost he was not willing to squander his voucher on.

Opting to hold off on the store for the time being, he continued to loot the remaining two Spitter Zombies, saving the best for last.

[ Do you want to retrieve the loot? ] "Yes."

[ You have earned 100 Experience Points. ] [ You have earned 1 Reputation Point. ] [ Loots obtained: 2 Item Upgrade Crystals, 2 Zombie Cores, 500mL water, 100mL Chief Spitter Zombie Blood, 1 Acid Pouch, 1 Spitter Tongue, 2 Spirit Enhancement Bottles ]

'Spitter tongue? What am I going to do with that?' Shane mused. Anyway, there were still 8 minutes left in the Zombie Wave timer. Although they didn't expect any more zombies, Shane returned to the shelter. Sure enough, eight minutes passed peacefully, and the notification from the system finally came! [ Congratulations! You have successfully survived the Zombie Wave! ]

[ You have earned 300 Experience Points. ]

[ You have earned 50 Zombie Cores. ]

[ You have earned 2 Reputation Points ] [ Additional Rewards are being calculated… ] [ You have achieved the Top 1 in the Zombie Wave Clearer Ranking! ] [ You have earned 10 Reputation Points. ] [ You have earned 500 Zombie Cores. ]

[ You have earned 10 Item Upgrade Crystals. ]

[ You have obtained a Random Gift Pack. ]

Shane was already shocked after seeing the huge amount of Zombie Cores that he had received. However, his reward wasn't over yet. [ You have defeated all the Zombies targeting you and eliminated the Survivor who had interrupted your Zombie Wave. ] [ You have cleared the hidden mission. ] [ You have received a Recruitment Stone. ]

[ Hint: The Recruitment Stone is a single-use item that a Survivor can trigger in order to recruit a helpful inhabitant of this continent. ] "A recruitment stone?" Shane wondered about this item and quickly took it out from his Inventory System. It was a small black stone with a single star carved on it. [ Do you want to activate the Recruitment Stone? ] A notification appeared. Shane didn't hesitate much as he wanted to increase the number of people in his Territory. "Yes..." As he agreed to the notification, the Recruitment Stone faintly glowed with blue light before shattering into many pieces.

Suddenly, a thick fog emerged in front of the estate. This alarmed both Harper and Anna, as they knew very well that this fog wasn't good! They still remember the time when they entered a similar fog and got themselves lost in time. Nevertheless, Shane immediately told them to calm down, as it was something that he did.

Shane could barely see anything through the mist…

'It's really that magical fog…' Shane mused as he already connected the fog to be related to the system itself. It didn't take long before he heard the sound of footsteps approaching them.

As the fog cleared, they saw a person appear in front of the estate. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was a man, about 40 years old, with a muscular build and a rugged face. He had short black hair, a thick beard, and a scar on his cheek. Interestingly, the man wore a leather apron, a pair of gloves, and a belt with various tools. He also carried a large hammer on his shoulder.

Shane and the others immediately realized what kind of profession this man had.

He then looked at Shane with a serious expression and said, "I guess you're the Foreign Survivor, I'm Leo. I'm a blacksmith. You probably need my help."

Shane was speechless. He had just recruited an excellent blacksmith with the Recruitment Stone! He couldn't believe his luck.

He smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Shane. I'm the leader of this Territory. I'm glad you're here. I could use your skills."

Leo nodded and said, "I'm happy to help. I can make and repair weapons, armor, and other metal items. I can also teach you some tricks of the trade. Just show me where I can set up my forge."

Leo then paused for a moment as he realized the condition of the estate… "I guess that can be discussed later. For now, you can have a look at my skills."

With that said, Leo showed his Survivor Skills to Shane. [ Metalworking Lv10 ( Max ): An advanced skill that allows the user to craft items from metal, such as weapons, tools, or armor. It grants the following benefits:

"You have four skills?" Shane was shocked as he hadn't expected that Leo would have so many. However, he realized that this man had probably mastered his skills at a young age.

"Kekeke… I'm very proud of it… So you have to make me a smithy. Focus on building it from now on. We have to kill all the zombies!" Leo said with a pleased tone after seeing how surprised Shane was.

"Very well. I'll work on it… For now, we will fix our current shelter. We just finished a Zombie Wave and we're a bit exhausted as well." Shane then led Leo to the shelter, where Harper and Anna were already fixing their barricade. They introduced themselves and welcomed Leo to their group. Luckily, Leo was friendly and polite, but also reserved and cautious. He seemed to have a lot of experience and knowledge as he also started teaching them to make a better barricade. Finally, Shane had the time to open his Random Giftpack…
