Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game Chapter 272 - Reading Progress

Chapter 272 Reading Progress

Mo Yunxiao nodded and said, “After you finish reading the books, you will be able to master related skills in the game and complete the introduction to Tier 1 occultism.”

“You can enter this study room at any time. You can also browse through the books here.”

As Mo Yunxiao spoke, he pointed to a row of red bookshelves to the west.

“Most of the books on the red bookshelves are related to occultism.”

“As I said, don’t force yourself. Many books require willpower. If the attribute is not enough, you will be mentally polluted. If you are unlucky, you will be cursed.”

“Okay, thank you, Mr Mo. Sorry for disturbing you during this period.”

“You’re welcome. You can browse through the books in the study room at will, but you can not take them out of this study room. This is a rule set by the Mo Family over the years. I hope you can understand and abide by it.”

“Of course.”

“Then I won’t disturb you while you’re reading. I still have to enter the game to take a look.”

After watching Mo Yunxiao leave, Fang Heng opened the book in his hands and flipped through it page by page.

The introduction to occultism.

The various difficult-to-p.r.o.nounce runes and syllables on the pages made it extremely difficult for Fang Heng to read.

He felt more like he was learning a new language.

And it was the kind that was particularly troublesome.

After reading for less than half an hour, Fang Heng felt dizzy and could not read anymore.

This was probably the state where Mo Yunxiao said his mental strength was exhausted.

Fang Heng thought to himself, then took out the cover of the book and looked at it.

A line of small words appeared on his retina again.

(Hint: Current reading progress 0.21%.]

Only 0.21%?

Was there any way to increase reading efficiency?

Fang Heng stood up and placed the book on the wooden table.

There was no other way. He returned to the game to take a look.

(Hint: During the time you are offline (3 hours and 45 minutes), your zombie team has cut down 382 trees, dug 1,662 units of the coal mine, smelted 1988 iron nuggets…)

(Hint: During the time you are offline (3 hours and 45 minutes), your zombie team has cleared out a portion of the quarantine zone. You have obtained 2,282 survival points, evolution crystal fragments*201, complete evolution crystal fragments*38, Tier 1 evolution cystal*8.)

Fang Heng opened the game log and took a quick look at the game hint.

Upgrading to Tier 3 s.p.a.ce tearing device required three high energy crystals, so he needed to find a way to kill a Tier 5 creature!

At the moment, his hard power was not enough.

He needed to find a way to improve quickly.

Level up!

Levelling up was the most direct way. Levelling up a character could unlock the upper limit of skill levels, increase the basic attributes and increase the number of zombies in the group. It was equivalent to strengthening the overall strength.

Unfortunately, it was not easy to find a Tier 1 evolution crystal.

Fang Heng made a rough estimate.

Through the hack in the quarantine zone, he could probably gain two to three Tier 1 evolution crystals in an hour.

However, after three hours of hacking, his zombie team would die because of the high concentration of poisonous gas.

It would take two to three months to level up purely by hacking.

The efficiency was slow…

Fang Heng lowered his head and thought for a while.

Apart from levelling up, if he could further improve the combat ability of the zombie team, it would be much easier to deal with the Tier 5 mutated zombie.

Fang Heng was going to consult Qiu Yaokang.

More than a week had pa.s.sed. He didn’t know if the laboratory had produced anything good.

When he came to the underground research laboratory, Fang Heng saw that many researchers were busy.

The only person he didn’t see was Qiu Yaokang

“Where’s Qiu Yaokang?”

Li Bo was busy. He turned his head and answered, “He encountered a technical problem. I heard that a technical team from the Dark Knights had sent out an invitation regarding some research. G.o.d Qiu went there to partic.i.p.ate in a learning exchange.”

Fang Heng thought to himself, “Good guy, he’s involved in a professional seminar.”

D*mn!

Fang Heng slapped his forehead, feeling a little regretful.

Why didn’t Qiu Yaokang say so earlier!

If he had known earlier, he would have asked Qiu Yaokang to bring more gifts there and trick a few more researchers from the Dark Knights to come back… “Huh? Li Bo, didn’t you go?”

“Go out? Stop joking. It’s so dangerous outside. Wouldn’t it be courting death if I went out?”

Li Bo shrunk his neck as he spoke.

“Oh, no. I mean, the research cannot stop. G.o.d Qiu is not around. I have to be responsible for the entire experiment’s records. The laboratory cannot do without

me.”

“Cough cough…”

Fang Heng coughed lightly. He was too embarra.s.sed to expose him.

Li Bo was afraid of death. He was still thin-skinned. Saying a few words about him would lose his loyalty again…

“What have you been researching recently?”.

Li Bo was holding a doc.u.ment that he was looking through. “Licker modification. The first phase of the clinical trial is very good. We are already preparing for the second phase of the trial. We have already preliminarily developed the related Licker modified T-virus. It is estimated that we will be able to carry out the second phase of the clinical trial in a week.”

Great!

There was no doubt about the Licker’s combat ability. If they were able to expand their ma.s.s production, the strength of a large group of Lickers gathered together would be astonishing!

If more ants could kill an elephant, a few hundred Lickers could go up together and a Tier 4 creature definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

A Tier 5 creature would most likely be in a difficult situation too!

“We still encountered quite a several technical difficulties that need to be overcome.”

Li Bo nodded and said, “When G.o.d Qiu left, he instructed that if you’re free, Boss, you can help speed up our research progress.”

“Come on!”

Fang Heng knew that this was the mission. He was ready to do something big.

(Hint: Player triggered mission-Experiment: Licker modification.]

Optional mission 1: High-precision parts modification.

Mission description: Find special high-precision parts, improve laboratory hardware, improve laboratory environment and increase research speed (click here for details).

Optional mission 2: Licker research.

Mission description: Collect more Licker samples (this sample will be obtained by killing the Licker).

Optional mission 3: Staff expansion.

Mission description: Your laboratory needs more researchers to improve research efficiency, look for a high-level researcher to join your shelter.

Optional mission 4: T-virus resources.

Mission description: Look for more initial T-virus.

Optional mission 5: High-efficiency raw materials.

Mission description: Your laboratory needs more efficient experimental materials. Please try to collect them (click here to see the details).

Accepted!

Fang Heng waved his hand and accepted all the missions.

There was no penalty for failure in this type of mission anyway.

Fang Heng was in high spirits.

He had been trying to level up in the shelter for a while and now he was fully focused on building a Tier 3 s.p.a.ce tearing device.

He had time to focus on the Licker modification!

Fang Heng carefully checked the missions he had received

One step at a time, he put aside the resource-related missions. Currently, all the resources in the shelter had been invested in the construction of the s.p.a.ce tearing device.

So, the first task was to collect and kill monsters.

Kill the Licker!

This task was good.

“Unfortunately, I can’t kill my Licker clones to complete the task.”

Fang Heng felt a bit disappointed that he couldn’t exploit this bug.
