One minute passed in the blink of an eye.
The moment the countdown hit zero.
The entire Zombie Horde, including the Corpse King, dissolved into black mist and vanished.
The red light screen that had shrouded the surroundings of the gas station also disappeared.
The thick mist outside the red light screen gradually dissipated as well.
Even the convenience store, whose walls had been smashed by the Corpse King, was rapidly restored under the influence of a mysterious power.
【Congratulations, you have successfully survived for thirty minutes】
【Enemies killed in this round of the game: 231 Walking Corpses】
【Game rating: C】
【Game reward: F+ grade Silver Treasure Chest】
Chu He saw a silvery-white light descend from the sky, and a Silver Treasure Chest appeared on the ground.
"I wonder what kind of things I can open from this treasure chest!" Chu He licked his lips, a look of anticipation on his face.
Walking over quickly, Chu He opened the treasure chest.
【Opened F+ grade Silver Treasure Chest, obtained five Free Attribute Points, obtained one Skill Point, obtained F+ grade Equipment Burning Medal, obtained 200 Mist Coins】
"Oh?"
"You can actually get Attribute Points and Skill Points from a treasure chest?" Chu He said in pleasant surprise.
Opening his personal panel, Chu He did not hesitate and added all five Attribute Points to Stamina.
Among the four attributes, even if his Spirit attribute increased, it would not provide any improvement to his combat power.
While increasing Strength and Agility would improve his combat power, the extent of the improvement was far inferior to the Stamina attribute.
Increasing Stamina would raise his Health Points, improve his Defense, and also increase his physical endurance.
Combined with his Dragon Bloodline skill, his survival ability would improve even more.
As for the Skill Point, he naturally added it to his Dragon Bloodline, as that was the only skill he currently possessed.
After upgrading his Dragon Bloodline to LV2, Chu He checked the skill information.
【Dragon Bloodline LV2: Health Points recover by 20 points per second, Defense increases by 20 points】
"Does the value double with every upgrade?"
"The maximum level is ten, which means when the skill reaches the maximum level, it will recover 100 Health Points per second and increase Defense by 100. Combined with the Talent effect, that would be 200 Health Points recovered per second and 200 increased Defense."
Thinking about this, Chu He could not help but burst into laughter.
He currently had 140 Health Points, and the LV2 Dragon Bloodline allowed him to recover 40 Health Points per second.
Combined with his Defense, his survival ability had soared significantly.
Closing the Attribute Panel, Chu He took the newly obtained equipment, the Burning Medal, out of his Player Backpack.
【Equipment Name: Burning Medal】
【Equipment Grade: F+ grade】
【Equipment Slot: Medal】
【Equipment Effect: After equipping, increases Stamina by 8 points, grants the Burning Aura skill, deals Fire Damage equal to twice the Stamina value to enemies within five meters every second, and the wearer receives Fire Damage equal to the Stamina value every second.】
【Remark: Ignite yourself, burn you and me!】
"What a good item!"
Seeing the information on the Burning Medal, a look of wild joy appeared on Chu He's face.
This item might be considered trash in the eyes of other players.
But with the LV2 Dragon Bloodline skill, this Burning Medal was the best equipment for him, perfectly solving his current predicament of lacking offensive means.
If he were to face the Corpse King again now, Chu He was confident that he could grind the opponent to death by relying on the Burning Aura.
However, Chu He did not equip the Burning Medal immediately; he did not know if the Burning Aura of the Burning Medal would also take effect in reality.
If it took effect in reality, then anyone who approached him would be burned to death by the Burning Aura.
After putting the Burning Medal into his Player Backpack, Chu He took off the Security Guard Uniform he was wearing and also put it and the Riot Baton into his Player Backpack.
Afterward, Chu He took out his phone and dialed Da Wei's number.
The call went through, but no one answered for a long time.
Chu He dialed several times in a row, but Da Wei refused to answer.
"It seems Da Wei is afraid that I'm looking for him to settle scores, so he doesn't dare to answer the phone," Chu He muttered to himself.
However, he only wanted to ask Da Wei for information regarding the Mist Game.
After all, the matter was already a foregone conclusion.
But since the other party refused to answer the phone, there was nothing he could do.
Chu He walked over to his electric scooter, took the key out of his pants pocket, and rode home.
Fortunately, it was already late at night, and there were not many pedestrians on the street.
Otherwise, if his tattered appearance were captured by passersby, he would very likely become a trending news topic tomorrow.
……
When Chu He arrived home, it was already 11:30 PM.
Sitting on the living room sofa, Chu He looked at the wristwatch on his left hand, wanting to test what functions the watch had.
After some fiddling, a 3D holographic panel popped up on the wristwatch.
【Mist Player Rules】
【1. Players are not allowed to use game powers in front of non-players; violators will be erased.】
【2. Players must participate in the Mist Game at least once a week; violators will be erased.】
【3. Players are not allowed to disclose any information regarding the Mist Game; violators will be erased.】
【4……】
【10. After participating in two Mist Games, you will obtain the Player Qualification Transfer qualification. The transferor must hand the wristwatch to another person for them to wear voluntarily and shout "Player Qualification Transfer" to successfully transfer the Player Qualification. The person who receives the transferred Player Qualification cannot transfer the game qualification again.】
Looking at these rules, Chu He felt his scalp tingle.
Violating any one of these rules would result in being erased.
Seeing the last condition for player transfer, Chu He finally understood why Da Wei had acted that way.
He had knelt before him and begged him, yet he refused to explain any information about the Mist Game.
If he had refused at that time, Da Wei would have definitely died in the game "Fear of the Walking Dead".
Chu He did not believe that the other party also possessed powerful recovery abilities.
Otherwise, the other party would not have been so desperate to transfer the Player Qualification.
"No wonder I had never heard of the so-called Mist Game before."
"As long as players disclose information about the Mist Game, they will be erased," Chu He thought to himself.
He closed the Player Rules and continued to check the other functions of the wristwatch.
The functions of the wristwatch were more than he had imagined.
He could add other players as friends and use the wristwatch to communicate.
There was also a Trading Market, but players had to reach E-grade to open it.
Besides that, the wristwatch also had a tracking function.
As long as one spent a certain amount of Mist Coins, they could track a player's location.
However, to track other players, one needed to know that player's name and ID.
In Chu He's view, this function was either for locking onto a teammate's location,
or it was for when both parties had a grudge, and one side locked onto the other to launch a pursuit.
After studying the functions of the wristwatch, Chu He also saw the various rating rewards on the watch.
F-grade rating: The reward is a Solid Wood Treasure Chest, which opens to grant two Attribute Points, a random Item, and Mist Coins.
E-grade rating: The reward is a Black Iron Treasure Chest, which opens to grant three Attribute Points, a random Item, and Mist Coins.
D-grade rating: The reward is a Bronze Treasure Chest, which opens to grant four Attribute Points, a random Item, and Mist Coins.
C-grade rating: The reward is a Silver Treasure Chest, which opens to grant five Attribute Points, one Skill Point, a random Item, and Mist Coins.
B-grade rating: The reward is a Gold Treasure Chest, which opens to grant six Attribute Points, one Skill Point, a random Item, and Mist Coins.
A-grade rating: The reward is a Platinum Treasure Chest, which opens to grant seven Attribute Points, one Skill Point, a random Item, and Mist Coins.
S-grade rating: The reward is a Diamond Treasure Chest, which opens to grant eight Attribute Points, two Skill Points, a random Item, and Mist Coins.
Regardless of the difficulty of the treasure chest, the Attribute Points and Skill Points were fixed; the only difference was the quality of the items and the amount of Mist Coins.
Chu He sighed that his luck was good; his rating this time was exactly C-grade, earning him a Skill Point.
If he had killed fewer Walking Corpses this time, causing his rating to drop, he would have missed out on a Skill Point, which would have been a huge loss.
