Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

Chapter 55  Announcement

"Dash… Not bad…" Shane muttered after seeing the result of his upgrade. It was now a Tier 4 Item, and he spent a total of 13 Item Upgrade Crystals for that… However, he could tell that it was worth the price. Of course, upgrading from Tier 4 to Tier 5 is not an option yet. He would have to spend a total of 150 Upgrade Crystal for that to happen!

This was the sole reason most of his clothing was stuck at Tier 4.

It was just too expensive!

It was no wonder that the clothes have different ranking systems from the weapons or devices. From Common, Uncommon, Rare, Exception, Master, and Epic, the number of crystals required was only 1, 2, 10, 30, and 100, respectively!

The clothing had different sequences from Tier 1 to Tier 5, which were 1, 2, 10, and 150, for the needed crystals.

"Can I really have this? It suddenly looked a lot better." Gene asked once again, afraid that he was getting an item too early. He had barely proven himself useful.

"It's fine… It's better to have someone use it instead of storing it in my inventory." Shane replied.

"Then, I will accept it…" Gene replied with gratitude as he accepted the shoes. "Alright… You can go ahead and help us rebuild the shelter… We have collected enough wood, and I already turned it into wooden planks. We're focusing on rebuilding the smithy where Leo will be working in the future. I'll be the one patrolling the area for now." "Right! I'll take care of it, Sir Shane!" With that said, Gene left and joined the others to join the construction. He may be a knight, but it doesn't mean that he couldn't do those labor jobs. He didn't mind having such work from time to time.

In the meantime, Shane decided to open the Regional Chat. He was curious about what are the others doing, what items were being traded, or if someone had already managed to kill a Giant Zombie… It would also be great if he learned whether the Tyrant Zombie had already been defeated. However, before he could do that, a system announcement suddenly came!

[ Attention, Survivors. ]

[ Congratulations on surviving the previous Zombie Wave. You have proven your skills and your survival abilities. You have earned experience, loot, and achievements! ]

[ Another event is about to take place. There will be a gathering for the Top 1,000 Survivors of the Region. The gathering is a rare opportunity to meet and even trade with other Survivors. The main event of this gathering, however, will feature an auction where you can bid on exclusive items, skills, and talents that the Lord of the Realm has prepared for you. ] [ The gathering will take place in 15 days. If you're lucky enough to be in the Top 1,000, you will be teleported to a secret location, where you will be safe and comfortable. [ Depending on the progress of this Region against the Zombies, this gathering may only happen once. Do not miss this chance, Survivors. ]

"Ahhh…"

Shane was stunned as he read the sudden notification. 'A gathering for the top one thousand… But in the memories that I absorbed, it only happened after someone reached Level 20. I'm pretty sure no one has reached level 25 yet… Or is there?' Shane mused as he didn't expect this announcement so soon.

Nonetheless, it could also mean that the Apocalypse was too hard, so the Auction was also moved forward.

Anyway, Shane continued to check the Regional Chat. He was quite curious about what was happening there now.

[ Sam: Hello! I have a Rare Talent called Nature Lover. I can enjoy nature and learn its secrets, and I can also protect a small place with its help… I gathered a lot of insects with the assistance of my flowers and plants. If anyone is interested in dried insects to feed yourself, let me know. I can trade with you for Zombie Cores or other items. ]

[ Mia: Hmm… This is my last chat. I have an Epic Talent called Beauty Devotee. I can beautify any person with my Talent. I have a lot of services here, like massages, facials, and other special services. If anyone is interested, let me know. I can trade with you for Zombie Cores or other items. Don't ask me things like how I survived until now. I'm only here in chat for business. ]

[ Kelly: Wow, you guys have some amazing talents. I wish I had something like that. But I guess I'm lucky to have a talent at all. Some people only have Common Talent, like Jake. No offense, Jake. ] Nôv(el)B\\jnn

[ Mark Sol: Guys, have you seen underwear being sold in the Survivor Store? ] [ Terrence: I'm looking for a Tamer. Is there any Tamer here? ]

[ Maine: That Tyrant Zombie is unkillable! Have you guys heard of it? It's a Zombie that is considered a Field Boss! It can command other zombies! It's a nightmare. Don't try fighting it yet! Bullets would not work unless they're upgraded to a higher level! ]

[ Raze: Tyrant Zombie? Hehe! They'll give you a nice loot if you defeat it! Good luck! ]

[ Maine: What? Have you already killed one?! ]

[ Kelly: How did you do it?! ] [ Jake Richard: Raze? Can you answer? Did you really kill a Tyrant Zombie? How did you do it? ] [ Kelly: I've seen a Tyrant Zombie before… However, I had no idea that they could be killed at this stage of the Apocalypse. Do you have a Legendary Talent? Can you share it with us? No, I want to pay you. Let's do a trade for the information I need. ] [ Raze: The information I have won't help you. However, I can tell you that I killed one because of my Talent. ] At this time, the topic of the chat had been changed because of the sudden announcement that had appeared in front of everyone. [ Galatea: Wow, did you guys hear that? The top 1,000 will have a gathering! That sounds awesome. ]
