Chapter 125 Rare Skill Book, Yao Qingya's Thoughts

Su Ze's gaze fell upon the skill book shimmering with a faint blue light.

[Rare Grade · Zombie Serum Crafting Technique · Skill Book]

[Learning Requirement: None]

[Effect: Master the method of crafting zombie serum. Can convert materials like 'zombie claws' into 'Zombie Serum (Common)'.]

[Description: Fighting poison with poison might be a way out.]

zombie serum!

Su Ze's heart stirred.

Its importance was self-evident; it was one of the hardest currencies in the apocalypse.

He had just gathered nearly ten thousand people. In the future, whether to prevent accidents or as a reward to win people over, the demand for zombie serum would be astronomical.

And the raw material for production... was actually zombie claws!

With a thought, Su Ze opened his personal inventory.

In the materials column, the quantity of [zombie claws] displayed a startling number—3,752!

Most of these had been accumulated by him during this period.

A portion was the loot handed over by the nearly one thousand people he had recruited.

This was only the beginning.

By tomorrow, when ten thousand people cleared zombies under his command, this number would likely experience a blowout Burst.

Su Ze rubbed his chin.

It seemed like a bit of a waste for him to learn this skill himself.

After all, crafting things definitely took time.

As the top combatant, staying in the Dormitory all day as a production worker was too inefficient.

He needed to find someone trustworthy and meticulous to do it.

Those leaders under his command?

No.

Their loyalty had yet to be tested. Such an important core technology couldn't be handed over to outsiders.

That left only the few women in the Dormitory as candidates.

In Su Ze's mind, the figures of several women flashed by one by one.

Jiang Yuwan was in charge of resource trading and intelligence coordination; she was the head housekeeper and couldn't be distracted.

An Lan was a combatant. Making her do such meticulous work would probably be more painful than killing her.

Qiao Yunge was careless, Su Meier was skilled in interpersonal relations, and Liu Qiaofei was too naive...

After thinking it over, the most suitable person turned out to be Yao Qingya, who was usually the quietest and had a relatively low presence.

She was gentle and meticulous, had enough patience, and was completely obedient to him. She was the best choice for this tedious production task.

Most importantly, Su Ze trusted her.

This job couldn't be more perfect for her.

...

On the other side.

Inside Dormitory 404, Yao Qingya was organizing and recording supplies along with several other girls.

She watched Jiang Yuwan methodically direct the storage and trading of supplies as she had on previous nights, preparing to receive the resources Su Ze would trade over.

An Lan, like a shadow guard, watched the monitors, keeping a lookout around the Dormitory.

These past few days.

Yao Qingya always felt an indescribable sense of loss in her heart.

It seemed... aside from cooking, she couldn't help with much.

In this apocalypse, her little talent seemed worthless.

As for helping record and organize supplies, anyone could do that.

And there were more and more outstanding girls around Su Ze.

An Lan, Qiao Yunge...

And in the future, Li Xinran would surely be won over by Su Ze as well.

Would she... slowly be forgotten by Su Ze?

Just as Yao Qingya was lost in thought, a private chat notification sounded on her panel.

It was Su Ze.

[Private Chat · Su Ze: I have something for you. Learn it.]

Immediately after, a trade request popped up.

Yao Qingya instinctively clicked accept.

The next second, a skill book shimmering with a faint blue light quietly appeared in her inventory.

[Rare Grade · Zombie Serum Crafting Technique · Skill Book]!

Rare Grade?!

Yao Qingya was completely stunned, her fingers trembling slightly as she held the skill book.

This... was the first Rare Grade skill book she had ever seen!

Su Ze... actually gave it to her just like that?

[Private Chat · Su Ze: Crafting the serum might be a bit tedious. Thank you for your hard work lately.]

Looking at the second message from Su Ze, Yao Qingya felt a warm current instantly surge through her body, and her eyes grew a bit hot.

Hard work?

No! It wasn't hard at all!

All her previous anxiety and loss were washed away by surprise in this moment.

He hadn't forgotten her!

He had entrusted such an important thing to her!

This represented a kind of trust, an affirmation!

Finally... she could do something unique for him!

"Qing Ya, what's wrong? Why is your face so red?"

Qiao Yunge's voice sounded from beside her.

The attention of the other girls was also drawn over.

Only then did Yao Qingya snap out of it and display the attributes of the skill book.

"A Rare Grade skill book?" For the first time, a look of clear surprise appeared on Jiang Yuwan's cold face.

She had received many things,

but a Rare Grade skill book was still beyond her expectations.

"Wow! Sister Qing Ya is so amazing! Su Ze Senior gave you such a great item!"

Liu Qiaofei's large eyes were full of envy and happiness for Yao Qingya.

"This... looks so complicated." Qiao Yunge waved her hand carelessly. "Anyway, this kind of tedious work isn't for me."

Su Meier covered her mouth and giggled, leaning close to Yao Qingya with a charming air.

"It looks like our little sister Qing Ya will have to work hard from now on."

Only An Lan remained expressionless.

She just took a glance at the skill book before shifting her attention back to the darkness outside the corridor.

Listening to her sisters' discussion, Yao Qingya nodded vigorously, her gentle eyes filled with an unprecedented determination.

"Mhm! As long as I can help him, I'm not afraid of any hard work!"

She didn't hesitate any longer and directly chose to use the skill book.

A blue light flashed, and countless pieces of knowledge and procedures regarding serum production instantly flooded into her mind.

She immediately took out the hundreds of [zombie claws] that Su Ze had traded along with the book from her inventory.

Following the procedure in her mind,

she first carefully placed the hard claws on a stone slab, using a small hammer to crush them bit by bit and grind them into a fine powder.

Then, she took a certain proportion of purified water, poured the powder in, and stirred slowly...

She performed the entire process meticulously, focused to the extreme.

The other women in the Dormitory also quieted down, holding their breath as they watched her movements.

A few minutes later.

Under Yao Qingya's careful operation,

the first batch of cloudy liquid finally became clear in the test tube, eventually turning into a faint blue hue.

It's a success!!

She couldn't wait to share it via private chat with Su Ze, who was currently collecting resources...

Meanwhile, Su Ze had already checked the intelligence refreshed for today—[Intelligence 1: While obtaining certain achievements, there is also a certain probability of being noticed by the associated monster race...]
