Chapter 16: Chapter 16: New Mission, Reward: Surgical Robot
Fortunately, Xu Zhengyang had previously completed the sudden time-limited mission [Weapon], which earned him a shooting proficiency skill card.
Otherwise, he would really be at a loss for which weapon to choose now.
Xu Zhengyang scanned the area.
In the end, he chose the AK47 he had seen in the game, slinging a tactical backpack over his shoulder and stuffing as many magazines as he could into it.
Once he had everything set up.
Xu Zhengyang finally had the time to look down at his attributes and check what the new active skill he had just obtained could do:
[Concentration: After activating this state, it consumes 1 point of Mental Strength per second to slow down the flow of time by 100% (your actions remain unaffected)]
Seeing the attributes of Concentration, Xu Zhengyang couldn't help but exclaim, "Time-slowing skill! Isn't this the effect of the immortal cybernetic body from Cyberpunk 2077, the one belonging to Sian Weistan?!"
Xu Zhengyang never expected that one day a skill from a game would appear in the real world, and he would be the one to wield it.
So he couldn't help but shout, "Awesome!"
Immediately after.
Xu Zhengyang glanced at the attributes of the Mental Strength recovery potion: [Mental Strength Recovery Potion (Type I)]
[Effect: Instantly restores 3 points of Mental Strength upon consumption]
"Not bad!"
As he spoke.
Xu Zhengyang eagerly lifted the AK47 in his hands and strode into the abandoned building!
*"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
...
Inside the abandoned building.
With the passive skill of shooting proficiency backing him up, even though it was Xu Zhengyang's first time holding a gun, he was able to aim and fire with precision! Each flash of fire from the muzzle of Xu Zhengyang's gun meant another zombie was hit in the forehead, losing its vitality! After the gunfire erupted.
The entire abandoned building was thrown into chaos! The zombies that had been lying on the ground, conserving energy, all stood up at once, clawing and lunging towards Xu Zhengyang! A horde of zombies was charging in!
Xu Zhengyang smiled calmly and immediately activated Concentration, entering the time-slowing state! In an instant! The zombies, which were already slow-moving, appeared to have stopped in Xu Zhengyang's eyes! "Bang bang bang bang…"
The AK47 in Xu Zhengyang's hands spat fire continuously, each bullet accurately hitting the zombies in the forehead! Although the zombies had already been killed by Xu Zhengyang, since he was still in the time-slowing state, those zombies remained standing, not falling down.
Reload!
Consume potion!
Fire! Reload!
Consume potion!
Fire!...
After Xu Zhengyang's Heavenly Unity Order Token was destroyed, he still had 5.2 points of Mental Strength left, enough to maintain the time-slowing state for 5.2 seconds.
As he continuously consumed Mental Strength recovery potions, he restored his Mental Strength and extended the time-slowing state.
Half a minute later.
As the effect of the last Mental Strength recovery potion wore off, all the zombies on this floor were wiped out by Xu Zhengyang in one go! Thud, thud, thud...
Once Xu Zhengyang's Concentration state was lifted.
The zombies that had been lunging towards him all fell to the ground in an instant, creating a spectacular scene! Although there were still zombies on other floors of the abandoned building, after Xu Zhengyang dealt with this large wave,
the remaining scattered ones posed no threat! Because of this.
What was originally a thirty-minute time-limited mission, Xu Zhengyang completed in just seventeen minutes and arrived at the evacuation point! [Attribute Awakening Mission: Mental (Completed)]
[Reward: Active Skill: [Concentration]]
With the system prompt appearing, the familiar white light once again filled Xu Zhengyang's vision.
When Xu Zhengyang regained his sight.
He found himself back inside the shelter.
If it weren't for the fact that Xu Zhengyang could still use Concentration to enter the time-slowing state, he would have thought he was just dreaming!
"Exchanging an item that increases my Mental Strength limit by 2 for an incredibly powerful active skill, what a deal!"
As he spoke.
Xu Zhengyang opened his task list to check the latest main quest:
[Main Quest: Medical Room (In Progress)]
[Your shelter has taken shape, and various functional areas are becoming increasingly complete, but in the apocalypse, injuries are inevitable.
You need to build a medical room for emergencies!]
[Task Objective: Build a medical room (not less than 25 square meters) and collect enough medicines and medical equipment (broad-spectrum antibiotics, anesthetics, painkillers, sterile bandages, etc.)]
[Task Reward: YS-1 Type Surgical Robot]
"Surgical robot!"
Xu Zhengyang was thrilled when he saw the task reward!
In his spare time.
Xu Zhengyang had also thought about what to do if he got injured after the apocalypse.
Should he take advantage of the current convenience to self-learn medicine? Or should he find a reliable doctor to come to his shelter?
But even though Xu Zhengyang's Mental Strength far exceeded that of ordinary humans, and his learning ability was several times stronger than before! Modern medicine has dozens of basic textbooks alone, not to mention some more in-depth materials...
Although Xu Zhengyang now had the capability, he simply didn't have that much time! As for finding a reliable doctor...
To be honest.
Xu Zhengyang didn't want anyone to meddle in his shelter!
Now, it was great.
As long as Xu Zhengyang built the medical room, the system would immediately reward him with a surgical robot, and all problems would be solved in an instant!
After reading the task information.
Xu Zhengyang first instructed the Engineering Robot to start building new partitions in the shelter, while he began to think about how to purchase the necessary medicines and medical equipment for the task.
Sterile bandages, alcohol, iodine, saline, and other medical equipment needed for surgery were relatively easy to buy.
But broad-spectrum antibiotics were prescription drugs, and without a doctor's prescription, they were impossible to obtain. Even if Xu Zhengyang sought help from Lin Feng, it would be difficult.
Moreover, even if Lin Feng was willing to help and managed to get Xu Zhengyang a box or two.
That little amount.
Wouldn't even come close to the quantity needed to complete the task.
And it wasn't just broad-spectrum antibiotics.
The task also required Xu Zhengyang to procure anesthetics! This stuff is regulated a hundred times more strictly than antibiotics in the country; it's the most controlled of controlled substances! Using legal means, no matter how much money he spent, an individual could absolutely not buy this!
Thinking of this.
Xu Zhengyang helplessly said, "This is yet another task that is easier to complete in the apocalypse..."
In the apocalypse, with society in ruins.
With Xu Zhengyang's current strength, he could simply run to a hospital to collect the required medicines for the task.
But now...
The country is thriving, stable, and improving.
Xu Zhengyang didn't dare to do anything out of line; otherwise, he would definitely be invited for tea by the relevant authorities.
"Then to complete this task, I can only go to places where regulations are not so strict..."
Xu Zhengyang said.
He went back to the workshop and made two Abe Cuts to put into his Dimensional Space Pocket.
Then Xu Zhengyang pulled out his passport and immediately went out to take a taxi to the airport, while also purchasing a plane ticket online to Siam! (End of Chapter)
