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

Cola Novels () Latest Update: Post-Apocalyptic Survival: Max Level with Abundant Drop Rates and Resources

"Primordial God! Primordial God!"

The shouts behind them still echoed in the night sky, but Shen Xi had already led Mingying into the third alley. The frenzied crowd was finally left behind, the clamor fading into the distance, replaced by the howling of the night wind through the ruins and the occasional roar of rotting corpses in the distance.

Shen Xi leaned against the wall and let out a long breath.

"Finally, some peace and quiet."

Mingying stood beside him, silent.

The two walked through several streets, randomly found an uninhabited house, and pushed open the door to enter.

The room was covered in dust, and the furniture was simple, but the doors and windows were intact. Shen Xi glanced around and was fairly satisfied.

"I'll rest here tonight."

Mingying walked to the window, habitually keeping watch at night.

Shen Xi sat down cross-legged, about to tally the gains from this battle, when a loud mechanical voice suddenly came from outside the window.

This time, the voice didn't echo in his mind, but came from the sky, appearing over the entire city of Kyoto.

[Announcement for the Kyoto area!]

Shen Xi raised her eyebrows slightly.

He stood up and walked to the window. The black fog had mostly dissipated, and a few stars could be faintly seen twinkling in the hazy sky. Further away, in the direction of the city walls, the scarlet curtain of light was slowly fading away.

[Congratulations to the Kyoto region for successfully defending against the SSS-level zombie horde! Congratulations to the Kyoto region for winning the battle of revenge!]

[According to the evaluation of the post-apocalyptic survival game, the Kyoto area's comprehensive defense index, overall player combat power index, resource reserve index, and core stability index have all reached the upgrade standard!]

[It is now officially announced that the Kyoto area has been upgraded to a Level 2 area, and the area has been expanded!]

The announcement caused an instant uproar throughout Kyoto. Those who hadn't yet dispersed erupted in deafening cheers, wave after wave of applause. But the cheers quickly subsided as the announcement continued.

[Kyoto Region - Level 2 Regional Privileges Unlocked!]

A crimson light screen unfolded before the eyes of every Kyoto player, and lines of large golden characters slowly appeared.

[1. Energy Crystal: An Energy Crystal will be generated in the Kyoto Central Plaza. When the Energy Crystal is present, the stamina recovery speed, mental energy recovery speed, and wound healing speed of all humans within the safe zone will increase by 10%. Additionally, the Energy Crystal will automatically generate Energy Points daily based on the zone level. Energy Points can be used to upgrade, repair, and strengthen various game buildings.]

[2. Area Suppression: All corpses, mutated creatures, and hostile units entering the Kyoto area will have all their attributes automatically reduced by 10%. This effect cannot be exempted or dispelled, and it stacks with the effects of equipment such as the Kyoto Rhythm Uniform and the Kyoto Guardian Mark.]

[3. Mercenary Hall: A new game building, "Mercenary Hall," has been added to the east side of the Kyoto Mall. All players can enter the Mercenary Hall to register and form their own teams or mercenary groups. Team members will enjoy benefits such as experience bonuses, gold bonuses, and drop rate bonuses. The Mercenary Hall will release numerous daily missions (killing, collecting, exploring, escorting, etc.). Completing missions will reward players with experience, gold, merit points, and rare items. Please visit the Mercenary Hall for detailed rules.]

[4. Corpse Antidote: A new special item, "Corpse Antidote," has been added to the Kyoto Shop. If you are bitten or scratched by a corpse but have not yet fully mutated into one, injecting the antidote will reverse the mutation.]

[5. Auction House System: A new game building, the "Auction House," has been added to the east side of the Kyoto Central Plaza. Auctions are held regularly, and all players can participate in bidding or entrust their items to the auction house for auction. The auction house charges a 5% commission.]

[6. Building Function Optimization: The functions of all game buildings in the Kyoto area (Job Change Dungeon, Kyoto Shop, Mercenary Hall, Auction House, etc.) have been fully optimized. Each building will be able to recruit staff from players (Guards, Receptionists, Appraisers, etc.), and staff will receive a fixed amount of experience points and gold coins daily.]

Six rights, each one of which made the hearts of Kyoto players race.

As the announcement ended, Shen Xi looked out the window.

In the distance, towards the city walls, the crimson light curtain gradually turned blue, slowly spreading outwards. Like ripples on water, it expanded in concentric circles. Wherever it passed, the ruins, previously shrouded in black mist, were once again exposed to starlight.

The area of ​​Kyoto has at least doubled in size.

This is not finished.

The announcements are ongoing, and this time, they are being made to the entire world.

[Because Kyoto is the first region to be upgraded to Level 2, a server-wide announcement is hereby issued!]

[Server-wide Announcement!!!]

A blood-red light screen forcibly entered the field of vision of every player in the world. No matter which city or country they were in, whether they were fighting, resting or fleeing for their lives, everyone saw that line of golden words.

[Under the leadership of ten players—"Taichu," "Mingying," "Wu'anjun," "Naluo," "Liu Qing," "Su Muqing," "Wang Jun," "Zhao Tiejun," "Li Tiezhu," and "Zhang Dashan"—Kyoto City successfully resisted the zombie horde and won the counterattack, becoming the first city to upgrade!]

The world channel instantly erupted in chaos.

But the announcement wasn't over yet.

[Server-wide Announcement!!!]

[Kyoto City was the first to be upgraded to a Level 2 area, triggering city-wide rewards!]

[All players in the Kyoto area, level +1!]

[Within the last 24 hours, players in the Kyoto area will have double the drop rate from killing rotting corpses! Experience gained +20%! Gold gained +20%!]

[All benefits in Kyoto City have been successfully activated. Each benefit will bring huge rewards. Players in other cities are encouraged to learn from this!]

Before the excitement in the world chat channel could subside, a third server-wide announcement followed!

[Server-wide Announcement!!!]

[Kyoto Area Tier 2 Regional Privileges are now officially available!]

[Energy Crystals, Regional Suppression, Mercenary Hall, Corpse Antidote, Auction House System, Building Function Optimization, and other benefits are now fully available!]

Players in other cities within the China region are encouraged to learn from this and strive to improve their regional level!

Enjoy the game!

The whole world fell into a deathly silence at that moment.

Then, the global channel completely crashed.

World Channel

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Level 2 zone?! Cities can be upgraded?!"

"An SSS-level zombie horde?! What level of monsters is that?! Our city has never even seen the lowest level zombie horde!"

"Kyoto? Isn't that the capital of China?! How did they manage that?!"

"Didn't you see the announcement? A zombie horde! They withstood the zombie horde! They even won the counterattack!"

"The Beginning! The Beginning again! That name has appeared once more!"

"Dude, we're still struggling to figure out how to kill a bronze-level boss, and they've already wiped out the zombie horde and upgraded the city?"

"Is this even human? This is a god!"

"From today onwards, Taichu from the Huaxia region is my idol!"

"Hey you upstairs, stop rubbing in. Didn't your 'Lord of the Universe' claim to be the world's number one at level 25? Why are you so quiet now?"

"Hahahaha, the Lord of the Universe has already been slapped in the face. He can't even see the taillights of someone at the Primordial Level 30."

"The Cosmic Nation declares that the Primordial One must have been a member of their people! I am going to appeal to the United Nations!"

"Hey you Korean upstairs, stop kidding me. You guys can't even beat the beginner dungeons, what kind of appeal are you talking about!"

American gamers are shocked: Is this guy cheating?

"Russian players say this is so Chinese; they always manage to do the unbelievable things."

"Japanese players... never mind, we're still dealing with the rotting female ghost, we don't have time to discuss this."

"The Indian players are saying we're still fighting the Ganges River Monster, and you guys have already killed the monarch? That doesn't make sense!"

"Wait, isn't Taichu a player from Starshine City? When did he go to Kyoto?"

"Who cares when he went there? He's in Kyoto now, and the players in Kyoto are getting a free win!"

"We're so envious! Great God Primordial, come to our city! We'll pool our money to treat you to a meal!"

"Aren't Kyoto players ecstatic right now? Level up +1, drop rate doubled, experience and gold +20%—isn't this just freebies?"

"Kyoto player here, all I can say is, Taichu is awesome! We really won without any effort, thank you Taichu!"

"The Primordial God is forever a god!"

The global chat was flooded with messages, with hundreds or even thousands of messages appearing every second. From China to the United States, from Russia to Japan, from South Korea to India, players from all countries were discussing the same name—Taichu.

Shen Xi stood by the window, looking at the city walls expanding outwards, and then glanced at the messages flooding the global channels. To be honest, he felt a little embarrassed looking at those phrases like "The Primordial God is forever a god."

However, it felt pretty good.

He turned off the channel, turned around and went back into the house, where he sat down cross-legged.

Now, it's time to get down to business.

He hasn't drawn the fourth Dominator bonus yet. The system notified him on the arena earlier, but he's been holding back, wanting to find a quiet place to do it slowly.

Shen Xi took a deep breath, her thoughts sinking into the depths of her soul.

A golden light shone in his consciousness.

[Number of times you can draw the Dominator bonus: 1]

[Is it extracted? 】

Shen Xi stared at the line "Number of times you can draw the Dominator's bonus: 1", her heart beating slightly faster.

The Heavenly Evolution skill guarantees a critical hit with every strike, the All-Seeing Insight skill allows him to see through all weaknesses, and the Double Crown grants him dual professions. Each of these is an incredibly powerful ability. He was very curious about the fourth one.

"Extract".

A burst of golden light erupted! Countless golden runes surged from the void, swirling wildly around Shen Xi and forming a massive vortex. At the center of the vortex, one after another, afterimages flashed by. There were afterimages of palaces and pavilions, afterimages of mountains and rivers, afterimages of the sun, moon, and stars. Those images flickered too fast for Shen Xi to see clearly.

But he could sense that with each image that flashed by, a little more power appeared in the vortex.

The vortex spun faster and faster, until it suddenly contracted and condensed into a golden pillar of light that descended from the sky and poured into the depths of Shen Xi's consciousness.

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the fourth Dominator bonus: Blessed Land!]

[Blessed Land: Tier 1 (Original Level/Upgradable)]

[Effect: The host will gain an independent personal space—a blessed land. This space is entirely under the host's control, and its size is the same as the host's storage space, expanding as the storage space expands. The host can enter or leave the blessed land at any time. Once inside, the outside time flows at 10% of normal time (i.e., if 10 hours are spent inside the blessed land, only 1 hour will have passed outside).]

Current space size: 56 cubic meters (same as storage space)

Current time flow rate: 10:1

[The blessed land can be used to store living creatures, grow crops, construct buildings, and store resources. The host can invite other players to enter the blessed land; invitees must obtain the host's consent before entering.]

[Growth Conditions: For every cubic meter increase in storage space, the blessed land expands by 1 cubic meter. The time flow rate ratio increases with the level of the Dominator System.]

[Note: Within this small space lies a hidden world. This is your own unique world, where you are the creator.]
