The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

Su Mu was stunned for a moment.

1723 experience points. His experience bar exploded... jumping from over 100 points at level 5 to level 6, and then continuing to climb until it reached over 600 points before stopping.

[Level Up! Current Level: Lv6 (623/3200)]

Su Mu stared at the line of text, his pupils contracting slightly.

A monster leveled him up instantly. What does that mean?

He needed 1600 experience points to level up from level 5 to level 6, and this monster gave him over 1700...

Lv10, so much experience?

Su Mu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He found it somewhat unbelievable.

However, he didn't think about it much at the moment.

Instead, he rummaged through his backpack, pulled out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, poured some into his palm, and carefully washed his hands. Water droplets dripped from between his fingers, forming a small puddle on the concrete floor of the rooftop.

sense of ceremony.

Then he opened the talent selection interface.

Three gilded cards appeared before my eyes. On the second card, that familiar flame icon reappeared... Luck.

Su Mu's lips curled up slightly.

The cards were flipped over one by one, and three options were clearly displayed before them.

[Option 1 (Information): Plant Affinity. Sensing all plant-type monsters within a 500-meter radius and marking their location and level on the minimap. Passively activated; no manual activation required.]

Option Two (Personal): Ricochet Combo. After an attack hits a target, the bullet/arrow/skill will ricochet, automatically selecting the next target within 20 meters. The ricocheted attack inherits all effects of the original attack (weaknesses, extra attacks, afterimages, etc.). If there are no other targets within 20 meters, the ricochet will not occur. Rule-based ability.

Option 3 (Construction): Quick Construction. Construction time for cable car auxiliary structures is reduced by 50%, and the building's base armor is increased by 5%.

Su Mu's gaze swept over the three options.

Option one, Plant Affinity. The location and level of all plant-type monsters within a 500-meter radius... This ability is extremely useful when exploring cities, especially against vine-type monsters hidden in ruins. However, he already has Area Awareness, although it doesn't have a "Plant" category filter, but its coverage is wider and the information more comprehensive. Area Awareness can provide almost everything Plant Affinity can.

Option three, Quick Build. Build time reduced by 50%, base armor increased by 5%. This ability is very useful, especially for someone like him who frequently adds various structures to the cable car. However, the allure of a "5% increase in base armor" is still somewhat diminished compared to rule-based abilities.

Option two, Ricochet Combo. After an attack hits, it automatically ricochets to the next target, inheriting all attack effects. This isn't the simple, straightforward double damage of an "extra attack," but rather a "spread" effect... one shot becomes two, two shots become four. Combined with the Afterimage Combo, his area-of-effect damage will be significantly enhanced.

Without hesitation, Su Mu pointed to option two.

[Selection successful.]

The gilded card transformed into specks of light and merged into his body.

Su Mu closed his eyes and sensed the surroundings, but didn't feel anything special. He opened his eyes, glanced at the pile of spent shell casings on the ground, and then at the withered vines in the distance. He stood up, slung the AWM over his shoulder, descended from the rooftop to the ground, and walked towards the small hole.

Withered vines carpeted the ground. Grayish-brown branches lay haphazardly like dead snakes, crunching underfoot like walking on withered leaves. The closer one got to the core area, the thicker and darker the branches became. In the very center, next to the small bullet hole, lay a golden box.

It's not the dark yellow of bronze, not the silvery white of silver, not the brilliance of gold... but a restrained, warm, golden yellow, like old jade.

Su Mu squatted down and opened the box.

There was only one thing inside.

A piece of wood. No, it wasn't ordinary wood... about the size of a palm, dark brown all over, with fine veins on the surface, like tree rings or blood vessels. It felt heavy and warm in my hand, as if it were alive.

[Strange item: The stem of a scarlet vine (yellow)]

[Type: Curiosity/Consumable]

[Effect: Upon use, a vine field with a radius of 1 kilometer is generated centered on the user. The vines within the field will automatically attack all hostile creatures for 30 minutes.]

[Current available uses: 1]

[Energy replenishment methods: 1. Place in the soil to naturally absorb nutrients; one use will be restored after 7 days. 2. Use materials such as Mystic Stones and Advanced Nutrients for rapid energy replenishment.]

[Note: Can be used on the cable car.]

Su Mu stared at the line of text for several seconds.

A rare item. This was the first time he had ever seen something of this quality. The highest quality items he had seen before were the purple AWM and the Gun Master's Manual, but this was yellow... a whole tier higher than purple.

Generates a vine domain with a radius of one kilometer, lasting for thirty minutes. Automatically attacks all hostile mobs.

This is a large-scale, continuous, automated killing machine. For thirty minutes, all the monsters within the area will be attacked by the vines, and he doesn't have to do anything but stand there and watch.

And it can be used on the cable car... which means he can activate this domain on the cable car, allowing vines to cover a kilometer radius around it. Those monsters that attack the cable car at night, no matter how many come, will die.

Su Mu carefully put the seeds into the innermost compartment of his backpack and zipped it up.

Then he stood up and glanced at the pile of withered vines. Information about the monster appeared before his eyes.

【Crimson Vines (Lv10 Purple → In Progress → Dead)】

[Race: Plant/Monster]

[Quality: Purple (Advancement to Yellow was interrupted)]

[Note: Defeated while advancing to yellow quality. If advancement is complete, the level will increase to Lv12 and the quality will be upgraded to yellow.]

Su Mu's pupils contracted slightly.

Upon seeing this, Su Mu instantly understood.
