Chapter 25
“Fang Bai?”
W*ng Kai looked at the arrow stuck in the forehead of the zombie in the distance, then estimated the distance and was slightly surprised.
“Quite impressive.”
Fang Bai greeted him and turned to leave, heading in other directions to continue hunting zombies.
Zombies were everywhere, and Fang Bai was harvesting experience points like reaping wheat. However, the figure of the Tianwang Armor kept flashing in his mind, making him contemplate and hesitate, but he still hadn’t made a decision.
As the sky gradually darkened, Fang Bai shot the last zombie, picked up the copper coins, and paused as he was about to go home.
“Hmm? Did an item drop?”
Under Fang Bai’s gaze, a pair of shoes slowly materialized on the zombie’s body.
“Equipment: Worn Running Shoes.”
“Effect: +1 Agility.”
“Click to equip.”
Fang Bai was immediately disappointed when he saw the equipment attributes, frowning with some disdain.
“Agility shoes, and only +1 Agility, I was happy for nothing.”
Fang Bai shook his head slightly, looking at the shoes with disgust, picked them up, put them in his bow bag, and then walked towards the residential area.
On the way back, Fang Bai glanced at the experience bar; it was already four-fifths full.
Fang Bai had killed hundreds more zombies. Looking at the zombie corpses along the way as he returned, Fang Bai was surprised himself, and a sense of satisfaction arose spontaneously.
“I’ve killed so many zombies unknowingly, no wonder my hands are sore.”
Fang Bai thought, but when he remembered that so many zombies had only dropped one piece of equipment, and it was equipment he couldn’t even use, his smile gradually faded.
When he remembered that the arrow supply in the Archery Club was dwindling, the smile on Fang Bai’s face gradually disappeared.
Fang Bai shook his head slightly.
“The equipment drop rate has decreased again; this shouldn’t have anything to do with my luck.
But the drop rate is so much lower than before, either it’s level suppression, or the drop rate itself is just this low.
It was just my good luck at the beginning.”
Fang Bai thought back; he didn’t seem to have seen many pieces of equipment.
“And even if equipment does drop, it’s only the lowest level equipment that adds one attribute point, and it’s easy to overlap with my existing equipment.”
“Although experience points do come quickly, the arrow consumption is too fast.
If all the arrows are used up, I can only stare blankly even with the compound bow.
Will I have to put on clothes and a helmet again to k*ll zombies?”
The figure in the Tianwang Armor appeared in Fang Bai’s mind, and he shook his head.
“No, that would greatly slow down my zombie hunting speed.
My level should be ahead of others now, but as long as I don’t use the bow and start close combat, I will definitely be surpassed by others.
I’m not very good at close combat myself.”
Fang Bai was thinking about something, but he was hesitant. After thinking for a long time, Fang Bai decided to put it aside for now.
But even so, Fang Bai’s way of thinking was still subtly starting to change.
After returning home, Fang Bai had dinner and washed up, then picked up the notebook containing the mage inheritance.
The name on the cover of the notebook was still illegible, but when Fang Bai flipped through the cover and browsed the contents, he discovered something.
“It seems that the content inside is not something I can’t understand, but there’s a force preventing me from understanding it.”
Fang Bai suddenly realized something.
“There’s a cognitive barrier preventing me from understanding this notebook, making me know at a glance that I can’t understand it. But if there wasn’t this cognitive barrier, I might be able to try to read and learn the mage’s knowledge.”
Fang Bai looked at the job change requirements recorded in the notebook.
Fifteen Mental Power and level ten.
“Maybe the job change requirement is this cognitive barrier. After I meet the job change requirements, I’ll be able to understand the knowledge in the notebook and learn it myself?”
“Most likely.”
Fang Bai pondered, then put the notebook away again and went to bed.
Just as he was about to turn off the light, suddenly, the light went out. Fang Bai frowned when he saw this.
“Did the lightbulb burn out? Then who do I have to find to fix it?”
Fang Bai glanced around the room and found that all the lights inside the room had dimmed. He suddenly realized something in his heart.
“It’s not the lightbulb, it’s… a power outage?”
Fang Bai walked to the window and looked outside. It was pitch black outside, and the city seemed to be swallowed by darkness, dim and without light.
“The power’s out.”
Fang Bai sighed faintly; it seemed he was one step further away from civilization.
He went to bed, and when Fang Bai woke up again, the alarm clock had already gone off.
He got up, ate something hastily, and took his equipment downstairs.
Fang Bai didn’t bring many arrows this time, but they were all bladed three-edged broadheads or bladed screw broadheads.
When Fang Bai arrived at the underground parking lot, Bai Qing was already waiting there with his men.
There were a total of eight people, two of whom were wearing anti-riot helmets and holding riot shields, with thick down jackets and life jackets wrapped around their bodies to increase cushioning, looking extremely bulky.
Fang Bai glanced at the three people he didn’t recognize; they seemed to be newly recruited, but Fang Bai didn’t care much and spoke directly.
“Bai Qing, can you help me clear out the other zombies later?”
“No problem, it’s a small matter.”
“Thank you, then let’s go.”
Fang Bai nodded and immediately walked up the stairs to the ground, then all the way around to the side of the garden.
While going upstairs, two newcomers were whispering at the back.
“Is he the one who’s going to k*ll that Small Giant Zombie? Why isn’t he wearing any protective gear?”
“He must be very strong.”
“No matter how strong he is, if a zombie scratches him, he’s done for. He probably leveled up a few times, added some attribute points, and got cocky.
People are like that, once their power expands, they easily get illusions, easily become arrogant.
Pay attention later, if he can’t handle it, retreat early, don’t be stupid and d*e for nothing.”
One of them pointed out knowingly, and the other nodded repeatedly.
A young man in front who was walking closer heard them and looked back at the two of them.
“You two… I told you, Fang Bai is very strong. He kills ordinary zombies with one arrow each. He single-handedly killed at least a few hundred zombies yesterday, more than all of us combined. Since he dares to come, he must be confident. Don’t talk nonsense.”
“One arrow per zombie? Give me his compound bow, and I can do it too.
But that’s different. You say he’s strong, but haven’t you only seen him k*ll a few zombies?
I can k*ll that level of zombie too. What else have you seen? Just because you say he’s strong, he’s strong? Empty words? Where is he strong?
Of course, you’re still young, and you subconsciously think he’s strong, I can understand that.
Don’t argue with me anymore. Don’t get too close to him later, pay attention to your safety, okay? This is also for your own good.”
The young man’s face flushed slightly, but he didn’t know what to say. After holding it in for a while, he said in a low voice.
“We’ll see later!”
“Okay, okay, we’ll see. How strong can he be?”
