Survival in the Apocalypse: Max Level Drop Rate with Abundant Resources

The stone gate slammed shut behind them.

In the hall on the ninth floor, the corpses of the rotting dead were piled up like small mountains, and streams of black blood meandered through the cracks in the floor. Shen Xi stood in the middle of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, the Pangu Axe stuck at his feet, arms crossed, eyes closed in meditation.

Mingying stood behind him, the Lion Wall slammed to the ground, and the Asura Spear rested diagonally on his shoulder.

They did not move forward.

Shen Xi opened her eyes and glanced at the attribute panel.

Level: 23 (Experience: 11846/12000)

I need 154 more experience points to level up.

Mingying is in a similar situation, at the peak of level 19. He only needs to kill a few dozen more rotting corpses to break through to level 20.

More importantly, it's the gold coins.

He opened his storage space and glanced at his gold coin balance: 48960.

After clearing nine levels, my gold coins have increased by over 20,000. Adding that to the 40,000 I bet before, if I win, it would be 400,000. And then there's the current 50,000…

Shen Xi's lips curled up slightly.

enough.

The Starry Sky Badge is a sure thing.

But what truly stopped him was the system task.

Just a second before he pushed open the stone door on the tenth floor, the notification sound of the post-apocalyptic survival game suddenly appeared...

[Buzz...!]

Shen Xi looked at the task and her lips twitched slightly.

2000 experience points, 2000 gold coins, 500 reputation points, and a silver equipment box.

Are you trying to get rid of a beggar?

And then there's the line, "Defeat it, and you will be the new king."

That's such a cringey statement.

Just as he was about to complain, a familiar golden light forcibly entered his field of vision...

[Buzz...! ...

[The Domination System has intervened!]

[Host detected is about to challenge a level 20 Gold Lord...]

[Detected a post-apocalyptic game issuing spam quests...]

[Task being forcibly modified...]

Golden runes surged forth like a tide...

[Special Note: 60 minutes? Ha. The host of this system can kill for as long as they want. Go ahead, let that lord see what true despair is.]

Shen Xi smiled.

That's more like it.

5000 experience points, 5000 gold coins, 1000 reputation points, a gold chest, and 10 free attribute points.

This is the price a tyrant should pay.

He turned off the panel, looked up, and gazed at the stone door leading to the tenth floor.

From behind the door, one could faintly hear low breathing.

But the problem is, he can't go up there now.

The mission has already been activated. What if he goes up to kill the Corpse General, and someone else takes advantage of the situation to loot the loot? He can keep all the points, experience, and gold for himself, but what if someone sabotages him at a crucial moment…?

Shen Xi quickly calmed down.

So he chose to wait.

Let everyone come up and explain things clearly.

Whoever goes up there will die.

It's that simple.

The two of them continued to wait there.

Time passed by, second by second.

About twenty minutes later, the stone door at the end of the hall finally opened again.

A figure emerged from behind the door.

He was in his early forties, with a square face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes, exuding an imposing presence. His black combat uniform was stained with black blood, and a massive battle sword rested on his shoulder, its blade still dripping blood.

Lord Wu'an.

Behind him followed nine military players, all covered in blood and panting heavily.

The moment Lord Wu'an stepped into the hall, he stopped in his tracks.

He saw Shen Xi and Ming Ying.

The two people were leisurely drinking water.

Behind them, the stone door leading to the tenth floor was tightly closed.

Lord Wu'an's pupils contracted slightly.

"In the beginning," he spoke, his voice low, "why aren't you going up?"

Shen Xi opened her eyes, glanced at him, and then looked at the nine people behind him.

"Nine people actually survived. I never expected that. No wonder they were number one in their previous life."

Then, his gaze fell on the rank of Lord Wu'an.

Level 19.

Shen Xi raised an eyebrow slightly.

From the first stage until now, Lord Wu'an has a rough idea of ​​how many rotting corpses he has killed. To be able to climb from level 16 to level 19, this person's strength is indeed considerable.

"Waiting for someone," Shen Xi said calmly.

Lord Wu'an frowned: "Waiting for whom?"

"You...all of you."

Lord Wu'an remained silent for a moment. He looked at Shen Xi, then at Ming Ying, and then waved his hand.

The nine military players behind him immediately dispersed, found an open space on the other side of the hall, sat down, and began to rest, drink medicine, and bandage their wounds.

Lord Wu'an did not sit.

He just stood there, looking at Shen Xi.

The two people, several dozen meters apart, stared at each other.

No one spoke.

About ten more minutes passed.

The stone gate opened again.

Even more people came in this time.

Gu Yunting walked at the front, his silver-white light armor stained with black blood, the pale blue gems on the scabbard of his longsword still gleaming. Behind him followed seven elites from the Gu family.

Yes, six.

There were originally nine, but two or three died.

The moment Gu Yunting entered the hall, he also saw Shen Xi.

His face instantly turned ashen.

"In the beginning..." he squeezed out the two words through clenched teeth, his hand already gripping the hilt of the sword.

The six elite members of the Gu family behind him also drew their swords, exuding murderous intent.

But Shen Xi didn't even glance at them.

He just kept drinking water.

Gu Yunting's expression turned even uglier.

He wanted to rush forward with his sword and tear the man who had humiliated the Gu family to pieces.

But he dared not.

Because of the bright shadow behind Shen Xi, the bright shadow was waiting for him.

There was no emotion in his eyes, as if he were looking at a dead person.

Cola Novels: This is where dreams begin, and where dreams come true.

Gu Yunting's hands were trembling.

He recalled what Shen Xi and the other person had done before.

He gritted his teeth and loosened his grip on the sword hilt.

"Walk."

He led the seven people to the other side of the hall, to the corner furthest from Shen Xi, and sat down.

The Gu family members began to take medicine and bandage their wounds, but everyone's eyes were fixed on Shen Xi and Ming Ying, filled with hatred.

Shen Xi still didn't look at them.

He is waiting.

Another ten minutes or so passed.

The stone gate was opened for the last time.

Naro walked in.

There were only three people following behind her.

In this kind of instance, the assassin indeed suffered an initial setback.

She walked into the hall and glanced around.

Lord Wu'an and his military personnel were on the east side, Gu Yunting and his family were on the west side, and Shen Xi and Ming Ying were in the center.

She led the remaining two people to the north side of the hall, leaned against a stone pillar, crossed her arms, and closed her eyes.

At this point, all the players who had advanced to the third stage were present.

Military: 10 people

Gu family: 8 people

That family: 3 people

Solo players: 0 (all wiped out)

Including Shen Xi and Ming Ying.

23 people in total.

Twenty-three people stood in the hall on the ninth floor, and no one spoke.

The atmosphere was heavy, making it hard to breathe.

Shen Xi opened her eyes and glanced around.

Then he stood up.

He carried the Pangu Axe on his shoulder.

Mingying also stood up, and the Lion Wall slammed its weight onto the ground with a dull thud.

Shen Xi stepped forward and walked to the center of the hall.

All eyes couldn't help but fall on him.

He glanced at Wu Anjun and Naluo, and finally his gaze settled on Gu Yunting.

Gu Yunting's face turned ashen, and his hand gripped the hilt of his sword again.

Shen Xi looked at him, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.

Then he spoke.

The sound wasn't loud, but every word was clearly audible.

"Tenth floor, level 20 Gold Lord, Corpse General."

"Mingying and I will go up and kill them."

"You all, wait here."

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Gu Yunting suddenly stood up, his face flushed red: "Why?!"

Shen Xi looked at him without saying a word.

Gu Yunting hissed, "Tai Chu! Who do you think you are? This is a championship competition! Everyone has the right to go up! Why are you stopping us from going up?!"

The seven elite members of the Gu family behind him also stood up, drew their swords, and exuded murderous intent.

Shen Xi remained silent.

He simply looked at Gu Yunting calmly.

Mingying stepped forward, holding the Asura Spear horizontally in front of her chest.

A dark red light exploded from his body, and the Asura Domain was instantly unleashed!

Naro's expression changed, and he subconsciously took a step back.

Lord Wu'an frowned.

Gu Yunting's face went from ashen to pale.

He wanted to draw his sword, but his hand was trembling.

Because he sensed it.

That killing intent, like a tangible weight, slammed heavily onto his shoulder.

His knees bent slightly, and his back creaked.

The seven elite members of the Gu family behind them fared even worse; some dropped their knives, some were trembling, and some even collapsed to the ground.

Shen Xi looked at Gu Yunting and slowly spoke:

"I said no, and that means no."

"Do you have a problem with that?"

Gu Yunting's lips were trembling.

He wanted to say yes, he wanted to say why, he wanted to say the Gu family wouldn't let you off the hook.

But he couldn't utter a single word.

Because he could feel that if he uttered another word, Mingying's gun would pierce him through the heart.

Cold sweat beaded on Gu Yunting's forehead.

"I...I give up."

Gu Yunting's voice was hoarse, as if it were being squeezed out from his throat.

The moment he finished speaking, a beam of white light descended from the sky and enveloped his entire body.

[Player "Gu Yunting" has voluntarily surrendered and is eliminated! Teleporting...]

The white light dissipated.

Gu Yunting disappeared.

The seven elite members of the Gu family looked at each other, and then one by one they chose to admit defeat.

One after another, beams of white light appeared.

A moment later, the entire Gu family disappeared.

In the hall, only the military personnel, Naluo, Shen Xi, and Mingying remained.

Shen Xi turned her head and looked at Lord Wu'an.

"And you?"

Lord Wu'an remained silent for a long time.

He stared at Shen Xi, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

Then, he shook his head.

"I'm not going up."

Shen Xi raised an eyebrow slightly.

Lord Wu'an continued, "But I'm not admitting defeat. I just... don't want to take advantage of someone in distress."

He paused, then said slowly and deliberately, "Once you've killed the Corpse General, if the opportunity arises, I'd like to have a fair fight with you."

Shen Xi looked at him, not expecting this guy to have such a strong fighting spirit.

"it is good."

Then he looked at Naro.

Naro leaned against a stone pillar, arms crossed over his chest, eyes closed.

He turned around, shouldered the Pangu Axe, and walked toward the stone door leading to the tenth floor.

Mingying followed behind.

After taking a few steps, Shen Xi suddenly stopped.

He didn't turn around, but simply said:

"Before I emerge, who dares to set foot on the tenth floor...?"

He paused, his voice suddenly turning cold:

"I just treated him like a rotting corpse and cleaned him up."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped through the stone gate.

Mingying followed closely behind.

The stone gate slammed shut behind them.

In the hall, Lord Wu'an stared at the tightly closed stone door and remained silent for a long time.

Then he sighed.

"This Primordial Beginning..." he murmured, "What exactly is its origin?"

Naro opened his eyes, looked at the stone door, and a complex light flashed in his eyes.

"No matter who they are," she said softly, "we can't afford to mess with them."

Lord Wu'an smiled bitterly.

Yes, we can't afford to mess with them.

The tenth floor, the Kyoto Throne.

Shen Xi stood in the center of the vast space, raised her head, and looked ahead.

There, a huge figure was slowly rising up.

Standing at least three meters tall, it was covered in dark gold armor, densely covered with runes. Its head was humanoid, but its face was adorned with a ferocious mask, revealing only a pair of scarlet eyes. Its right hand gripped a massive battle sword, its blade shimmering with crimson light. Its left hand carried a jet-black shield, its surface engraved with a roaring dragon.

Corpse General.

Level 20 Gold Lord.
