YM778.TV Chapter 22 - Talent
After his little inspection, Nile took a moment to go and glance outside, and indeed, the Level Zero° zombies are back at walking limply without direction.
As only a few minutes had passed, this Level Zero° zombie was still clustered outside the gate.
Now that he has already reached Level One°, he now has fulfilled the requirement to wield and buy weapons in the store.
As Nile had the plans on buying a Weapon and a Talent in the System\'s store, he decided to kill all the zombies on the outside first, so that his Apocalypse Points will increase even if only a little.
He was not worried about Level One° zombies suddenly appearing in the crowd. With his current strength of 6.0, even the Level One° zombie Councilor from before would no longer be his match.
At Level One°, a slight increase in stats will result in tremendous strength increase.
Take the Level One° zombie Councilor from before, its stats was only at 5.0, but it could overpower Nile when his stats was only at 4.9, only an increment of 0.1, but look at the difference of strength, it was more than doubled.
With his 6.0 strength, would Nile still be afraid?
In this hamlet with few houses, of course, Nile will not be afraid.
Nile concluded that the only Level One° zombie in this area would only be the Councilor himself.
Inside the small mansion of the Councilor, there would certainly be other zombies that had already finished hibernating.
But from the looks of it, the first zombie to get out of hibernation would be the Councilor himself. With the weak Apocalypse Virus surrounding him, and being the first to awaken, the Councilor devoured the weaker Apocalypse Virus and strengthened himself, even those who have already awakened must have not been spared.
As the Councilor has already reached Level One°, evolving further would no longer be possible with only this weak Apocalypse Virus around him.
The zombie Councilor must have already scouted the entire area and finished those who are stronger than the rest.
The 18 zombies inside the small mansion, the 15 maids and 3 guards, must be those weaker zombies, hence making the zombie Councilor ignore them.
But after some time, the Apocalypse Virus inside them had already finished hibernating, and while the zombie Councilor no longer needs the Apocalypse Virus inside them, it may have then decided to make them his underlings instead.
Around this area, the Zombie Councilor can be considered as the boss.
Of course he did not rule out the possibility of other Level One° zombies lurking around the area. But should he be afraid? Even their \'Boss\' was slain by him with only 4.9 of strength, with help of the shotgun of course.
..
Nile searched for a moment and found the butcher knife lying on the grass. After getting punched by the Level One° zombie Councilor from before, his hands at that time suddenly let go of the butcher knife.
Currently, aside from the guns inside his Storage Space and the kitchen knife that is also in his storage space, the butcher knife is the only weapon he has.
As he wants to test his Level One° strength, guns are out of option, using his bare fist was also out. The only thing left for him to use is the butcher knife and the kitchen knife. But Nile preferes the butcher knife as it is heavier than the kitchen knife.
After picking the butcher knife, Nile did not dally any longer and bolted towards the gate.
\'Woosh\'
Without even a second, he arrived at the front gate which is 13 meters away from his current location.
Swiping the butcher knife towards the head of the first lucky zombie. The dulled butcher knife cuts the zombies head in half horizontally like butter getting cut by a hot knife.
No obstruction, a perfect and clean cut.
This is not a perfect and clean cut produced by a sharp object. Instead, this clean and perfect cut was produced because of strength.
Nile did not stop with this, while moving towards another zombies location, he collected the dead Apocalypse Virus inside its head even before their body could fall to the ground.
After a minute, he had already finished all the zombies outside the gate. These zombies could no longer give him an increase of stats. Even Level One° zombies will only make stats increase with a meagre amount.
He did not bother to count how many zombies he had killed, the most important thing is that his Apocalypse Point count has increased.
Host: Nile
Level One°
Will: 6.5
Body: 6.0
Strength: 6.0
Energy: 6.0(5.9999)
Talent: N/A
A.P.: 63.0
L.P.(Level Points): 0
With these 63 points, Nile could buy many weapons and talent if he chooses those items on the very front of the list.
But Nile did not plan on buying them, in fact he doesn\'t really fancy them at all.
Aside from the function of directly collecting the A.V., those weapons on the forefront have no difference from his butcher knife. Why waste his \'Hard-earned\' Apocalypse Points on something weak?
The same can also be applied towards the talent store, the more a Weapon or a Talent is at the rear of the list, the more powerful they are.
Before buying a weapon, Nile chooses to buy a Talent first, and then based on the Talent that he chooses, he will then buy a weapon.
[Talent Store:
Level One° Knife Talent - Allows the Host to wield any kind of Knife more naturally.
/20 A.P.
Level One° Staff Talent - Allows the Host to wield any kind of Staff more naturally.
/20 A.P.
Level One° Close Combat Talent- Allows the Host to fight in close combat more naturally.
/20 A.P.
....
Nile merely took a glance at the first three before he scrolled down and searched for some amazing talent that he could buy.
If he could buy an amazing talent, even if his current stock of A.P will be depleted it will be worth it. He could just then farm for more A.P. later for his chosen weapon.
After browsing and contemplating for a few minutes, Nile decided to buy this talent that is sold for 60 Apocalypse Points. This Talent is one of the top 10 Talents that is at the very rear of the list. As for the Shooting Talent, it could only be considered as decent compared to this one.
[Level One° Weapon Master - A master of all weapons. Wield any weapon like an extension of the arm. Anything could be a weapon and a weapon could be anything. A Level One° talent at the Pinnacle Phase.
/60 A.P
]
[Level One° Weapon Master.
Confirm?
60 Apocalypse Points will be deducted.
[Yes/No]

\'Of course, It\'s a Yes\' Nile then taps on the Yes button inside his mind.
A surge of information then poured down on Niles mind that made him startled a bit.
\'Luckily it is not another painful experience\' The traumatized Nile sighs in relief.
