Not until the vulture Erik fell did Song Jian sit down on the ground, panting heavily;

With less than thirty vitality points left, there isn’t a part of his body that isn’t in pain; he’s covered in blood, his own and mostly from these militiamen; there’s a taste of blood in his mouth, it’s very unpleasant.

System: You have killed all the 101 Gathering Area militiamen in the Urban Waste Collection Center. Your favorability with Dr. Ebsiting has increased by 50. Your relationship with Dr. Ebsiting is now friendly.

“How did it go, dead yet?” Dr. Ebsiting emerged from the room as the battle ended, walked to Song Jian, and gave him a gentle kick as he asked.

“Almost… am almost dead, if you keep kicking me like this, soon you’ll have to collect my corpse.” Song Jian snorted coldly, gritting his teeth, struggling to get up; there was still loot to be collected.

First, he picked up the white-quality steel helm lying next to Luo Bing, who was used as bait.

“101 Tactical Helmet (white): Helmet, equipment effect, physical defense+3, equipment requirement, strength 3 points; can it be taken out of the game: No.”

Although the properties were average, Song Jian’s equipment bar was still empty in the head position, so he put it on just right.

By the way, in this game, equipped items have a hide and illusion function; when the hide function is chosen, one can’t tell what the equipment looks like from the outside, just like the zombie commander set on Song Jian, which is hidden. The equipment only appears for a moment when it provides a defensive effect;

And the clothes that Song Jian usually wears, although they have no properties and can only serve as a cover, are like the “fashion” in other games.

After equipping the helmet, Song Jian continued to walk towards the corpse of the vulture Erik.

This guy was the big deal of this fight, he was a level five elite mini boss, Song Jian was full of expectations for him.

Next to Erik’s corpse, there were three grey items, two white items, and a blue quality item.

These three grey items were “Jewel: Flame,” “Jewel: Heart of the Blue,” and “Doomsday Coins (99).”

Song Jian’s gaze first fell on “Doomsday Coins (99).” Looking at the ninety-nine Doomsday Coins, Song Jian had tears of excitement in his eyes, “Damn it, the monsters in the game finally drop money!”

This game is really hard to play, life-threatening situations come and go, not to mention that monsters don’t drop coins, only materials. However, if you don’t have the corresponding survival skills, these materials can only be sold to the system store at a very low price. Moreover, the common items sold in the store are too expensive. Most players can’t balance their income and expenses, they are in deep trouble all the time.

Remembering the scene when he used his blood-stained fists to punch trees, Song Jian had a lamenting look on his face as if he didn’t want to relive the past.

After picking up the Doomsday Coins, the two remaining grey items were jewels. “Jewel: Flame” is a ruby bracelet, made up of thirty-eight small rubies and a 38-carat red diamond in the middle. The whole string of bracelets is dazzling, even under the moonlight it emits pure red light. Wearing it on the wrist, the light flickers as it moves slightly, and looks like a flame burning on the wrist.

“Jewel: Flame (grey): Valuable item, use effect: Can be given to game story characters to increase their favorability; Item description: This is a dazzling diamond bracelet. Before the apocalypse, it was worth tens of millions and was highly sought after by many. After the apocalypse, it’s not even worth a piece of bread. However, many big shots still like to collect such items. Can it be taken out of the game: Yes.”

Song Jian took off this diamond bracelet, his eyes fell on the last line of the item description “Can it be taken out of the game: Yes”. His heart couldn’t help but pound violently twice, and a brilliant smile naturally spread across his face. “I’m rich!” In Song Jian’s eyes, golden light was blooming. If you looked closely, there were definitely two dollar “$$” symbols in his pupils.

Then, looking at “Jewel: Heart of the Blue,” its properties are almost the same as “Jewel: Flame,” except the Heart of the Blue is an even more luxurious necklace. Just the sea-blue diamond pendant alone, weighs a good forty-five carats. It’s just like the legendary “Heart of the Ocean” in the real world, except from a design and modeling perspective, the “Jewel: Heart of the Blue” is more luxurious and dazzling. After all, Doomsday City has existed for hundreds of years longer than the real world.

“These two jewels are quite nice, they must be premium items stolen by these robbers, these bandits!” Dr. Ebsiting’s eyes were glowing, he said enviously while looking at the two jewels, “My granddaughter would definitely love these if she saw them.”

“Is your granddaughter beautiful?” Song Jian suddenly asked.

Dr. Ebsiting was taken aback, then his wrinkled face broke into a radiant smile like a blooming chrysanthemum, “My granddaughter is a brilliant student at Alfson University, not only does she excel academically, but she’s also a great beauty. Let me tell you, the people pursuing my granddaughter could form a line that goes around this city three times…”

“In that case, don’t get your hopes too high about your beautiful granddaughter!” Song Jian interrupted Dr. Ebsiting and put away the two jewels.

What a joke, these two jewels can be taken out into the real world. They are worth much more than gold bracelets and the like. Any one of them is worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Dr. Ebsiting was at a loss for words, his face flushed, his lips trembling, he gave Song Jian a hard stare, snorted coldly, and turned his head away.

Song Jian then looked at the two white-quality items, which were supplies. One is a large bucket of mineral water, and the other one is a mixed grain snack.

“Mixed Grain Snack (white): Food, use effect: Increases hunger level by 40 points, recovers 30 vitality points in thirty seconds.”

Song Jian didn’t pay much attention to it at first and was about to put these two pieces of food into the package, but he suddenly realized something, looked at the properties of the Mixed Grain Snack more carefully and his face showed a shocked look.

“Wait, this snack can be used in battle?”

The greatest effect of general food items is to increase the hunger level, and it must be used in a non-battle state. Once in a battle state, the effect will be interrupted;

But this “Mixed Grain Snack” does not require use in a non-battle state. For Song Jian who is now short on medicine and healing supplies, this snack is like a life-saving snack.

Although Song Jian’s vitality points were only a little above thirty, he still didn’t have the heart to use this snack immediately, but solemnly put it into his package.

“Thirty vitality points, allowing me to use the kick skill six times, Earth Teeth Assault skill three times, and most importantly, it can recover my vitality points in battle! This will become one of my trump cards.” Song Jian slightly raised the corner of his mouth, his face showed a satisfied expression.

“Isn’t it just a broken snack? I could’ve had as many as 1 wanted before the apocalypse, enough to make you sick, hmph!” Dr. Ebsiting sneered as he saw Song Jian treating a single snack so seriously;

Song Jian ignored him as if Dr. Ebsiting didn’t exist, picking up the last piece of item dropped by vulture Erik, also the one with the highest quality.
