Chapter 86 Weighing the Pros and Cons, Targeting the Best Potential Gift Pack!

Su Ze's figure quickly vanished into the darkness of the Eighth Floor.

Time was precious; with several hours left before dawn, it was the golden hour for scavenging supplies.

As soon as he left the Dormitory building, Su Ze sensed a slight difference.

There were far more zombies on campus than there had been last night.

But what surprised him even more was that the supply refresh rate tonight seemed to have increased significantly as well.

Just on his way to the Teaching Building, he picked up several packs of compressed biscuits and drinking water.

They were of Common quality, but the quantity was indeed greater than before.

Items of Inferior quality, on the other hand, had become quite rare.

Su Ze's heart stirred; it seemed that as the game progressed, the supply output was also quietly changing.

He didn't dally, maintaining the [Strange Language] bond while beginning a new round of sweeping.

The long spear in his hand almost never stopped moving.

He didn't even need to deliberately search for targets.

He only needed to swing casually as he traveled, and the zombies blocking his path would fall in swaths.

There was no other way; their numbers were simply too great.

The effect of the [copper coin necklace] was being pushed to its limit.

The streams of light transformed from copper coins flowed continuously into his body.

Teaching Buildings, Gymnasium, Comprehensive Building...

Like an efficient harvester, he ransacked the supplies wherever he passed.

Most were basic supplies and various materials of Common quality, with the occasional discovery of something of Fine quality.

Having obtained some decent supplies, he nodded in satisfaction and sent them all to Jiang Yuwan in one go through the trading panel.

Two hours passed.

Just as he finished scavenging the Administration Building and was preparing for his next target, Jiang Yuwan's private message popped up again.

[Private Message · Jiang Yuwan (tenant): Su Ze, the Dormitory can't hold any more.]

Su Ze paused his movements.

Full so soon?

Then again, the supplies tonight were indeed exaggerated.

He glanced at the supplies still steadily increasing in his backpack and frowned slightly.

He had to find another warehouse.

He immediately turned around and returned to the Dormitory building.

He didn't go back to 404; instead, he began searching the corridor on the 4th floor.

Soon, his footsteps stopped at the door of Dormitory 432.

The door of this Dormitory was covered in claw marks and dents from impacts.

There were even several large holes in the door panel, which had completely split open.

A thick smell of blood wafted out from the cracks in the door.

Su Ze pushed the door open.

Inside the Dormitory, there were no people, only severed limbs and shredded meat soaking in a pool of blood.

The blood hadn't coagulated yet; clearly, the zombies had finished eating not long ago.

Tonight's zombies were indeed much stronger than before.

A shimmering virtual key lay quietly on the floor.

Su Ze walked over expressionlessly, picked up the key, and returned to the door.

[Ding! Spend 100 Wood material to repair Level 0 Dormitory-432?]

"Yes."

With a thought, the Wood material in his backpack instantly decreased.

The dilapidated door before him was quickly restored to its original state in a flash of light.

He immediately opened the trading panel and transferred the supplies accumulated in his backpack into this new warehouse, categorized by type.

Without being the landlord, anyone could enter, but Su Ze wasn't worried.

At this time of night, no one would come.

Having finished this, Su Ze didn't stay for a moment, turning back to charge into the campus night once more.

Another hour passed, and he had practically turned the entire campus upside down.

After dispatching the last zombie blocking his path in the Laboratory Building, he checked the time.

5:00 AM.

Only one hour left until dawn.

He stopped and began to ponder his next plan.

"First, go back and clear out all the Mutants in the entire building."

There weren't many of them anyway.

He could collect some [zombie claws] materials, whose purpose was currently unknown.

He could also provide a better growth environment for his 'leeks'.

Having made up his mind, he immediately returned to the Dormitory building.

As he expected, there weren't many Mutants in the entire Dormitory building.

He fought his way from the first floor to the tenth; each floor had only five to eight, a mix of Swift Types and Brute Force Types.

It took him over half an hour to clear the Mutants from the entire building.

Out of seventy-two Mutants, only eight [zombie claws] were dropped; Su Ze guessed the drop rate was likely around one-tenth.

"Still too few."

Su Ze put away the materials and quickly did some calculations.

Up until he earned the Thousand Zombie Slayer achievement, he had killed a thousand.

Then yesterday, he had cleared the tenth, sixth, seventh, ninth, and third floors for a fee, which added up to at least six thousand.

Just now on the Eighth Floor, while saving Xu Feng and the others, he had taken down another seven or eight hundred.

Adding the ones he killed in passing while scavenging supplies, that was at least another few hundred.

All in all, the count was already over eight thousand.

He was only a little over a thousand away from ten thousand.

A thousand-plus zombies was no difficult task for him.

He could claim this achievement today!

Just then, he suddenly remembered something else.

At the start of the game, the system mentioned that once a Dormitory successfully formed a six-person team, a Newbie Gift Pack would be issued based on the team members' total combined combat power score.

A five-star gift pack required 230 points.

And the team with the highest score would receive the unique [Best Potential Gift Pack]!

He hadn't cared much about the Newbie Gift Pack before, but this "Best" one caught his interest.

Previously, Su Ze hadn't been concerned with this.

Because he felt his main focus was activating bonds with the Contract Goddesses, and the basic combat power of females was a weak point.

So he assumed he wouldn't be able to reach such a high score.

But after receiving achievement rewards twice, his current basic combat power was as high as 69 points.

And the next possible achievement, [Ten Thousand Zombie Slayer], was within reach.

In that case, it was definitely worth a gamble!

He immediately opened the private chat with An Lan.

[Private Message · Su Ze (landlord): Send me a look at your personal attribute panel.]

An Lan on the other end seemed taken aback for a moment, but she quickly sent over a screenshot.

[Player: An Lan]

[Personal Attributes: health 5, Strength 5, intelligence 8, Stamina 5, spirit 6, speed 3]

[basic combat power: 32]

32 points.

That was 4 points higher than the average girl, which was quite good.

Su Ze immediately did the math in his head.

In the team, Su Meier was 28, Jiang Yuwan was 28, Yao Qingya was 27, and Liu Qiaofei was 24.

If he let An Lan join now to make six people...

The team's total basic combat power would be: 69 + 28 + 28 + 27 + 24 + 32 = 208.

This score wouldn't even reach the 230-point threshold for a five-star gift pack, let alone the Best Potential Gift Pack.

But if he could get the [Ten Thousand Zombie Slayer] achievement reward...

[Hundred Zombie Slayer] rewarded 6 attribute points.

[Thousand Zombie Slayer] rewarded 15 free attribute points.

Then the reward for [Ten Thousand Zombie Slayer] would only be more generous, and following this progression, the free attribute points obtained would likely be over 30!!

In that case...

As long as he added those attribute points, his basic combat power would soar again.

By then, the entire team's total score would definitely reach a terrifying number!

Taking the [Best Potential Dormitory Gift Pack] would no longer be a pipe dream!

His line of thought instantly became clear.

Su Ze's gaze grew sharp.

The plan was simple.

First, grind the [Ten Thousand Zombie Slayer] achievement to get the attribute points.

Then, have An Lan join the team.

With a guaranteed 238-point total basic combat power score for the Dormitory, they should have the potential to compete for the best, right?

One had to consider that the third-floor team leader Wang Meng's basic combat power was only 40 points.

There was no way his entire Dormitory of five tenants were all 40-point individuals.

If they really were, he wouldn't have become the undisputed boss so easily.

Having made up his mind, Su Ze wasted no more time.

He turned, his gaze fixed on the fourth-floor corridor where he currently stood, where hundreds of zombies still wandered.

He would start right here!
