Chapter 25: 25. Corpse Tide Strikes! Defense Of Takashiro Mansion!
In addition to the two skill cards [Basic Fighting] and [Basic Shooting], there is also a similar skill card called [Basic Melee]. This skill card costs 200 reincarnation copper coins. Once learned, you can proficiently use traditional cold weapons such as knives and swords. With each level up, your melee damage increases by 1 point, and the skill has a maximum level of 5. It seems that all these skills belong to the same series, as they all have the prefix [basic].
Chu Mu directly sold 600 copper coins and bought all three skills.
Although the bonuses for these skills are not high, they are very useful.
Just what he desperately needs right now. After all, before becoming a reincarnation player, even if he is a time traveler, he is just an ordinary person. He has never experienced fighting, let alone fighting with real swords and guns. These skills can quickly make up for some of his shortcomings.
For instance, you can learn how to use firearms through "Basic Shooting." This will prevent any embarrassing situations where the gun fails to fire. "Skill upgrades also require copper coins, although not many. The three add up to more than a thousand," Chu Mu sighed as he watched the balance of his funds shrink by over half. This time, he was just a few steps away from reaching Level 10, but these skills have to be purchased.
There are so many places to spend money.
Chu Mu was suddenly troubled by the feeling of happiness. You see, new players who enter the reincarnation game for the first time might have at most one or two thousand copper coins on them, even if they manage to pass the novice dungeon alive. If they choose to upgrade or take a few pieces of equipment and props when leaving the instance, this little money will soon be used up.
How can it be like Chu Mu, where there is something bright and the skill and player level are improved?
[You have learned the skill "Basic Fighting (Lv1)"]
[You have learned the skill "Basic Shooting (Lv1)"]
[You have learned the skill "Basic Melee (Lv1)"]
After using up the three skill cards, several prompts appeared in front of him.
The learned skills are consistent with the effects seen before.
"Every time you level up, the upgrade cost increases by 50 copper coins. To fully level up a basic skill to level 5, it will cost a total of 500 copper coins, and leveling up three skills will cost 1500 copper coins. 'I'm spending money so fast,' Chu Mu said, shaking his head helplessly as he couldn't help but sigh with emotion."
"It would be great if there were more side quests or events."
Maybe it was hearing his cry, or maybe it was a coincidence.
There was a sudden commotion outside the door. Then came the sound of chaotic footsteps. There seemed to be an emergency. "What happened?"
Chu Mu pushed the door open and saw that others had also come out to check on the situation.
"I'm not sure. The guards seem to be running towards the gate," replied Rei Miyamoto with some uncertainty.
Glancing around, Chu Mu noticed that Takashiro Saya and Ju Chuan Shizuka were not present.
The former should be with their parents at this time, so there shouldn't be any problem.
"Where's Teacher Ju Chuan?"
Saeko Busushima heard this, walked to a guest room, and knocked on the door. After a few sleepy murmurs came from inside, there was no movement. "Looks like she's still asleep," thought Chu Mu, noting that the protagonist's pet seemed to take its nutrition very seriously. Despite this, she was still fast asleep. "Forget it, let Teacher Ju Chuan take a good rest; she has been driving these two.""
Furthermore, even if she is awake, she can't provide much combat power. A few minutes later, Chu Mu walked out of the mansion and saw a rather chaotic scene.
"Hurry up, move! Grab your weapons and block the gap; don't let those zombies come in!"
"Report! Front-line fighters are running out of ammunition, and we are almost unable to hold on."
"Is there any extra barbed wire? We need time to build fortifications!"
"Where did so many zombies come from? They're besieging us wave after wave."
"Could it be that this place is also falling?"
The clamor of voices giving orders mingled in a cacophony, making it unbearable to be upset.
"Corpse wave?"
Chu Mu caught a key message from the miscellaneous voices.
"Dead bodies lack the consciousness for autonomous action and rely on instinct to hunt and kill living people. It is impossible for them to actively attack in groups."
"Unless... this is an 'incident' intentionally caused by the reincarnation game!"
It seems like he is trying to confirm his suspicion.
Suddenly, a somewhat familiar message box appeared in front of Chu Mu's eyes.
...
[Challenge event: "Battle of Gaocheng Mansion Defense" has been triggered!]
[Description of the event: Countless dead zombies are besieging the Gaocheng mansion, coming in waves one after another like a tide, repelling them!] [Or escape the building!]
[Time limit: Protect the "Gaocheng mansion" from falling within 3 days]
[Event Reward: The reward for killing zombies is doubled, and every 24 hours passed safely, an additional 500 reincarnation copper coins will be rewarded.]
[Challenge reward: After 72 hours, if the Gaocheng mansion has not fallen, a reward of 1 level 5 gold item will be rewarded.]
...
The tide of corpses is coming! Defense of Takashiro Mansion!
"Upon seeing the content of the challenge event, Chu Mu appeared extremely dignified. Though there was another opportunity to earn extra money, he was more concerned about the 3-day time limit. He stated, "After 3 days, the bed master city will be attacked by an EMP! At that point, the city's power system will be directly paralyzed, rendering all basic living facilities unusable. The mansion in Gaocheng, which requires a significant amount of resources to maintain its operation, will become extremely vulnerable in an instant."
If you stick to it for 72 hours, you will face the double dilemma of a corpse tide and a power outage!
"However, there is no solution."
Chu Mu relies on an army composed of "puppets of destiny." As long as he has this skill, he is already invincible in this dungeon. The question is, how can we maximize the benefits of this incident?
While thinking about it, the surrounding noise suddenly became much quieter.
Chu Mu took a glance and found that Soichiro Takashiro had arrived at the front line.
Relying on the prestige accumulated over the years, the scene can still be calmed down for the time being.
"Teacher, the situation is very bad," Takashiro Saya said anxiously as she trotted over. She had already heard about the tide of corpses from her father.
"What does it have to do with me?" Chu Mu looked at the anxious girl and shrugged. "Don't forget, our mission is to go to the East District Police Station to find Miyamoto's father. It would be safer to drive away while the dead bodies around you are being attracted."
You..
Takashi Saya was momentarily speechless, yet Chu Mu's point was valid. As Chu Mu's disciple, she lacked the qualifications to request anything from her master.
"I understand." Saya Takashiro took a deep breath and calmed down. She whispered with a pleading expression and tone, "As long as you are willing to help, teacher, I am willing to do anything."
