The Soul System in the Apocalypse
Chapter 197: Second Batch

Chapter 197: Second Batch

To be able to upgrade a vehicle to the second star, instead of the original 100 kg of steel, 50 kg of aluminum, and 10,000 level 5 rank O mutation crystals, all that Henry required at this point was three level one bronze rank mutation crystals.

Since that was the case, Henry did not hesitate to begin the upgrade. He upgraded every vehicle that he had upgraded previously to the first star, increasing and making sure that they had already reached the second star.

Of course, there was no way that he was going to allow the ordinary vehicles that he had upgraded to be at the same level as the vehicles that the core members of the territory possessed.

So, he went ahead and upgraded The attack system together with the defensive system of the vehicles. For that reason, he spent yet another five level four mutation crystals for each vehicle to improve the attack system, before spending yet another for the defensive system.

All the vehicles that were being upgraded were immediately enveloped in a red sphere. After a while, the red sphere disappeared, with the density of the shell of the car being increased.

With that finally out of the way, Henry decided to recharge the energy. As usual, it required level 5 bronze rank mutation crystal for 0.5% of the full energy reserve to be recharged. A level 6 Bronze rank mutation crystal for 5%, and a level 7 mutation crystal for 500%.

Without hesitation, Henry decided to use six level seven bronze rank mutation crystals in order to increase the energy level of the six vehicles by 500%. As usual, after the Jeep was at 100%, the remaining 400% over was stored and was going to be used later on.

Then, he went ahead and used four level 7 bronze rank mutation crystals, converting them into 400 level 6 mutation crystals that were used to ensure that the remaining 20 vehicles finally had a full amount of energy.

With this energy recharge, Henry will show that the Jeep and the other vehicles were going to be able to use their full capabilities for a very long time. After all, previously, after he upgraded the Jeep, he only got 5% of its full energy. But now, the Jeep possessed 100% of its energy reserve filled, with an extra 400% waiting.

After he was done with that, he entered into the system store to purchase new items. Currently, although he was not capable of purchasing four star items, that did not imply that he was not capable of purchasing items at three stars and below.

Currently, the trouble with food was not going to be an issue. After all, he had purchased a lot of food from the system store during the discount period. Additionally, all of it was stored inside the system inventory, other than the one that he had taken out to be stored inside the store of the building.

But, there were other necessities that were required. So, using a single level 1 bronze rank mutation crystal to purchase a batch of clothes was not considered a waste at all. After all, he currently possessed over 8,000 level 1 bronze rank mutation crystals.

All of those were stored inside the main territory building. Other than that, Henry also took out a few equipment and skill scrolls and placed them inside the building. Since he was going to move into the territory dungeon, then, he had to leave Olivia some things that she was going to use in order to be able to recruit other people.

[Current mutation crystal balance is: 8,612. 8,140 level 1, 72 level 2, 70 level 3, 30 level 4, 122 level 5, 110 level 6, 28 level 7, 27 level 8, and 12 level 9 bronze rank mutation crystals.]

After confirming his balance, Henry decided to enter the territory dungeon. He had used several mutation crystals in order to purchase a new batch of equipment and items from the system store. So, the level 5, level 4, and level 6 bronze rank mutation crystal balance had reduced by a bit.

Although there was a group of people that did not want to enter the territory dungeon after hearing about how dangerous it was inside, they did not dare to make a fuss after hearing that it was a must for everybody to enter the territory dungeon, that was unless they did not want to become members of the territory.

The majority of the people here, other than the children, already had their family members here. So, there was no way that they were going to abandon them. Additionally, even Arthur and the rest of the group went ahead and convinced their family members that, they were going to enter the dungeon together with the leader of the territory.

So, they were not supposed to be worried about their safety. It was only due to the threat and convincing by their relatives that those that were trying to go against going into the dungeon agreed.

After everybody had gathered, Henry and the group decided to enter the dungeon in the evening. At that time, Olivia and the rest of the group had already rested enough, and they were able to monitor the territory while he was away.

With that finally decided on, Henry led a group of 72 people into the territory dungeon. Although this group might not be considered as the fighting force of the territory, but, Henry believed that after they got out of the dungeon, they were going to be more useful.

After the light enveloped them, the entire group disappeared. And after they appeared inside the dungeon, Henry went ahead and gave everyone that had not yet become mutant warrior a gun.

He himself could remember that before he became a mutant warrior, he had to kill 10 apocalyptic creatures. At that time, he had used the gun to gain energy first. And after that, he began killing them using his own strength.

Since currently the majority of the people that have come over had not yet become mutant warriors, Henry decided to give them something that they were going to depend on.

But of course, not everybody knew how to utilize a gun. It might be true that they had seen in the movies how they were used, but, it was different when it came to using it, and observing it from a distance.

Left without a choice, Henry decided to spend 61 Level 1 Bronze rank mutation crystals in order to purchase the skill about the handling of the gun. In the entire group, there were currently seven people that had already become mutant warriors.

Five of them were adults, while two of them were children. As for Henry, he did not count himself together with Diana and Storm.

It was a good thing that the skill about handling a gun was not something that was going to use a skill slot. Otherwise, the entire group that was currently inside the dungeon would have been required to become at least mutant warriors in order to be capable of learning the skill.

Anyway, since using the guns to kill the monsters was only going to increase the amount of energy present inside the body of a person, not helping them in leveling up, it seemed that it was not that bad that even normal people could learn.

After everyone learned the skill, they became professionals when it came to handling of the guns. It was just that, they were a little nervous, and most of them did not have much experience. So, although they believed that they were capable of using the guns, they were a little afraid.

Of course, everyone here was currently putting on an armor that was at the second star. This was just a precaution that Henry had taken in order to ensure that everybody was protected.

"Okay. All of you have to be prepared. Inside this dungeon, a person can lose their life. It might be true that I will be trying my best to protect you, but still, if you become reckless inside here and lose your life, I hope that you don’t end up blaming anybody for that." Henry stated as he looked at the group of 68 people.

With serious expressions on their faces, everybody nodded. It was just that, they were nervous. This was to be expected considering that the majority of the people here had actually been hiding the entire time, until they were taken in by Henry and his group when he was recruiting some people into the territory.

After saying that, Henry began leading the way. Currently, those that had awakened and become mutant warriors were currently surrounding the entire group that had yet to become mutant warriors.

As for the rest of the group that had yet to be awakened, they followed the group forward. Still, the group was able to regain some of their confidence after looking at the two children that were walking forward fearlessly.

The area that Henry and his group had appeared was actually inside a forest. It was just that, this forest did not possess many trees. It could be said that the trees inside this forest were quite sparse.

Still, although the vegetation was not that much thick, that did not imply that they could see that far. As far as they could see, all that they saw was vegetation.

After about 5 minutes of walking, the group finally encountered the first monster. And, it was actually a monster at the first level of the bronze rank. Henry did not even have to bother wasting time dealing with such a creature.

So, Diana pulled the strings of her bow, before releasing an arrow. But, this arrow was aimed towards the creature that had appeared in front of them without any killing intent. After all, Diana was not aiming for the kill. Instead, her intention was to immobilize the apocalyptic creature in front of her.
