Infinite Ebullience
Chapter 84 - 84 47 Strengthening

84: Chapter 47: Strengthening 84: Chapter 47: Strengthening Tang Zheng was listening to the Meteorite’s rambling while observing his stats, overall, it was satisfactory.

Strength, 176, Intellect, 90, Faith, 82, Endurance, 183, Neural Response Speed, 189, Immunity, 172, Cell Regeneration, 178.

“Old Lin, what’s your data?” Tang Zheng reported his own data and wanted to use Lin Weiguo as a reference.

“Strength, 183, Intellect, 80, Faith, 90, Endurance, 189, Neural Response Speed, 186, Immunity, 183, Cell Regeneration, 179.” Lin Weiguo finished speaking and sighed, “I accept the gap in IQ, but the rest is too trashy, considering I was a special soldier of Southern Swords.”

“You’ve been retired for several years, maintaining such a physical state is already quite good.” Bai Guo praised Lin Weiguo, then pointed out her own data on the Silver Trojan’s screen, “Strength, 70, Intellect, 75, Faith, 76, Endurance, 78, Neural Response Speed, 78, Immunity, 73, Cell Regeneration, 76.”

“Why do you have some items over 100?” Pang Meiqin didn’t understand, she looked at Tang Zheng and Lin Weiguo with confusion.

“After using the seed to activate abilities, physical qualities will increase by double, if you subtract 100 that’ll be our real original data.” Li Xinlan explained, there was no need to conceal these things, “But it seems that using the seed does not affect intellect and faith.”

“Haha, don’t have a single item over 80?” Lin Weiguo shook his head, comforting Bai Guo, “Without comparison, those weightlifters would have strength over 90 for sure, these can be trained, just exercise more in the future.”

“Bai Guo, you three don’t have many points.

If you want to strengthen, just select one.

I think endurance has the highest cost-effectiveness, at the very least during an escape, you won’t fall behind from exhaustion.” Tang Zheng pointed at the screen, picked a few pieces of equipment, “Protective clothing is crucial, as for weapons, you might obtain some in the game, of course, if you want to buy some, I have no objection.”

“I want to buy, but I can’t afford it.” Bai Guo pouted, leaning over to Qin Yan’s Meteorite Wristwatch and every item’s point cost made her feel depressed.

“Tang Zheng, what are you enhancing?” Lin Weiguo was a bit indecisive, he wanted some advice.

“Endurance, and Strength.

My physical condition is terrible, it’s the basis for everything.

Moreover, after summoning the female musketeer, I constantly feel tired, hence, I especially strengthened this.

This way, I can level up the ‘Furious Queen’.” Tang Zheng directly paid a thousand points, boosting his endurance by a hundred points, equivalent to a normal person’s double, then he spent 500 points, increasing his strength by fifty points.

“The name of your ability is really domineering.” Lin Weiguo remarked expressively, “I’ll add this too.”

“I have Sophie, a high-agility hero, so I should strengthen my physical power for a better combination.

As for you guys, I suggest enhancing your neural response speed, at least when you need to make a breakout or escape, you can outrun other survivors.” Tang Zheng browsed the virtual screen, noticing other people looking at him, shrugged, “Next round of the game, besides newbies, there will be punishers who were given a bye in the last round.

What attitude they’ll have towards us is still unknown, plus their weapons, equipment and body enhancements are for sure stronger than us, so we must be careful.”

Thinking about these uncertain factors, the faces of everyone were somewhat uneasy, losing the interest to talk for a moment.

“Meteorite, show me all the vehicles.” Tang Zheng was still focused on his escape, wanting to look for a transport tool, but the high-priced items made him back off.

Magical items like the Magic Carpet, Nightmare Warhorse, Dragon Rider, technological class like Armored Humvee, Individual Tank, Beetle Assault Vehicle, each one is extremely expensive, without three thousand points it wouldn’t be possible to buy, seeing this situation, Tang Zheng had to make do, buying the most basic things.

“One B-Class nano protective clothing, can double your physical quality, cost is one thousand points + one Bronze Seed.”

“One C-Class tactical straight knife, forever indestructible, can be used as a survival knife, cost is two hundred points.”

“Two Blink Cards, one Gravity Cage Card, one Thunderstrike Card, eight hundred points.”

“One B-Class Space Backpack, black color, looks very petite, only 20 liters, but the internal space is five cubic meters, also regardless of whatever items you put in, the total weight is only 10 kilograms, worth one thousand points and one Bronze Seed.

As there was a lack of the Bronze Seed, therefore, I paid with one Silver Seed and five hundred points.”

“One RMB card, can be exchanged for five million RMB, one hundred points.”

“Three thousand bullets, thirty points!”

After purchasing these items, Tang Zheng calculated his remaining assets, three Golden Seeds, one Silver Seed, two Black Iron Seeds, a balance of 170 points.

“Xin Lan, Qin Yan, and Elder Lin, you three can split this Silver Seed and two Black Iron Seeds.

Make the most of them.

After all, you also contributed when we were killing zombies in the Oasis Hotel lobby.

I’m out of points to exchange for items,” Tang Zheng said, always generous.

“I need these three Golden Seeds to level up my abilities.

Sorry about that.”

Bai Guo, Pang Meiqin, and Zhou Zhou had no complaints.

They understood that Tang Zheng was trying to improve the team’s combat power.

“Little Tang, you don’t have to do this,” Lin Weiguo had a lot to thank Tang Zheng for, but found himself unable to articulate it.

He was just not good at expressing his feelings.

But Lin understood he owed Tang a debt he could never repay.

Not to mention the fact that Tang took care of him when he was severely injured, refusing to abandon him and saving his life.

For Lin Weiguo, he considered Tang a brother he can rely on in life and death situations.

“Why be so formal with the Group Leader?

That’s too polite,” Li Xinlan rolled her eyes at Tang Zheng.

Using her man’s goods did not bother her one bit.

After all, she was eventually going to give him her body.

“Thank you,” Qin Yan did not refuse.

Her affection for Tang Zheng had been increasing and she was even considering pursuing him.

“Trading high-grade seeds for low-grade ones is a rip-off.

Plus, we can’t directly refund them into points.

This is a real scam,” said Lin Weiguo, looking at the list and complaining.

But they had no choice but to buy as some defensive items were too important.

“You’re doing it right, keeping 30% of your points and spending 70% on strengthening and buying equipment.

That’s the quickest way to score ten thousand points.

If you plan to save all of them, you certainly won’t survive the second round,” said Silver Trojan, quite pleased with their actions – looked like they were getting smarter.

“I want to buy Protective Clothing and Firearms, and I also want to enhance my body.

It’s quite a dilemma,” Qin Yan complained, completely ignoring Silver Trojan.

“In my opinion, equipment can get lost, but once the body is enhanced, it has no issues,” Lin Weiguo preferred to trust his body.

For people like them, just being alive made them formidable weapons.

“You three, after enhancing endurance, use the seeds to activate abilities,” Tang Zheng instructed Bai Guo and the others.

Then he asked Silver Trojan, “Aren’t you going to enlighten us more about the seeds?”

“First, they can be used as currency.

Second, the first time a seed is used, it activates a superpower and doubles the user’s fitness.

Third, once you have an ability, using more seeds would extend the ability’s duration.

Yes, it’s much like a replenishing potion.

Moreover, using a seed produces an effect similar to a stimulant.

Although it’s not addictive, please exercise restraint.”

“Seems like everyone has finished exchanging.

Silver Trojan, can we go home now?” Lin Weiguo asked impatiently as he wanted to get back home to his wife and child.

“You can return anytime.”

“How do we explain our sudden appearance after the accident?

We were all recorded as having been in a plane crash,” Qin Yan wondered worriedly.

“Those who know you will just think you’ve been on a trip for the past few days.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Given the technological capabilities Silver Trojan had demonstrated, making this happen wouldn’t be an issue.

“When does the next game start?”

“In three days.

Let me remind you again, do not show anyone the items you have brought out.

If even the slightest information about this room leaks, you will be eliminated immediately.” said Silver Trojan and ignored them further.

“Let’s start teleporting now.

It’s rest time, good night.”

Tang Zheng had more questions, but with a dismissal from Silver Trojan, he could only voice his most crucial concern.

“Next time we come in, remember to bring a complete set of outdoor survival equipment.”
