13: First kill ten times the experience

"Peashooter!"

Tang Ping commanded the Peashooter on his shoulder!

The Peashooter's two leaves firmly gripped Tang Ping's shoulder.

Its mouth puffed up, and a pea, propelled by the wind, shot towards the Storm Beast with even greater speed!

Bang! The pea exploded inside the Storm Beast's mouth, and streaks of blood flowed out.

The Storm Beast was clearly stunned for a moment, but the next instant, it leaped forward with bloodshot eyes!

The disappearance of the suction allowed Tang Ping to slide down the pillar.

He immediately deployed his Shelter, buried it deep underground, opened the manhole cover, and crawl in!

Just then, the Storm Beast landed.

It seemed to feel a warmth under its feet, and it lowered its head in confusion, looking down.

The Potato Mine was glowing red all over, and then, boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Four consecutive loud explosions ripped through the air!

Inside the Shelter, Tang Ping's eyes narrowed.

The terrifying explosion instantly depleted most of the Shelter's long health bar!

But Tang Ping was not worried; instead, he was very happy!

"Damn it! This Potato Mine! Its destructive power is truly amazing!"

He didn't go out immediately, waiting until the sounds of explosions outside completely vanished before cautiously lifting the manhole cover.

What met his eyes was a scene of devastation; the building next to him had been blown apart.

And that Storm Beast lay on the ground, barely clinging to life.

Tang Ping, gripping his Tang Blade, exclaimed, "The Calamity Beast's vitality is truly tenacious."

He held the Tang Blade and found a pouch-like area on the Calamity Beast's abdomen. This was the Storm Beast's wind pouch, and also its weak point. Piercing this spot would cause the Storm Beast's internal organs to be instantly shredded by the wind within its own body!

The Tang Blade descended! It pierced into the Storm Beast's wind pouch!

The already dying Storm Beast's eyes gradually dimmed, and it quickly fell silent.

"Congratulations to the player for successfully defeating a Level 1 Storm Beast! You have gained ten Talent experience points and 1 shelter fragment!"

"Congratulations to the player for being the first to defeat a Calamity Beast – Storm Beast! You have gained ten times the Talent experience points!"

"Current experience points meet the upgrade requirements. Do you wish to upgrade your Talent?"

Tang Ping knew that defeating a Calamity Beast would grant experience points, but he hadn't expected the first kill to grant ten times the experience points! He immediately agreed!

"Upgrade!"

"Congratulations, player's Talent has been upgraded to second level!"

"Player: Tang Ping

ID: 0000000003

Constitution: 5

Spirit: 5

Strength: 5

Speed: 7

Talent: Weak Fire (E)

Talent Level: 2 (0 / 1000)"

Tang Ping checked his attributes and had to admit that his attributes had changed greatly. To reach this level in just one day, he deserved the title of 'far ahead'.

He released an orange-red flame from his hand. Last time, the F-rank Talent flame was light yellow; now, the E-rank Talent flame was orange-red.

Although his Talent level had increased by one, the flame color hadn't changed, but its power had clearly increased significantly.

The originally egg-sized flame was now fist-sized, making it a powerful fireball!

However, because his spirit was not high, the fireball was not very cohesive and would dissipate not long after being thrown.

Clearly, attaching it to the F-rank Tang Blade was not only more energy-efficient but also more powerful.

Tang Ping tidied up his belongings, his gaze falling on the small Shelter. His Shelter was now filled with supplies, almost leaving no room to stand.

"I wonder when I'll be able to upgrade the Shelter."

To upgrade the Shelter, he needed to acquire shelter fragments.

He had just obtained one after defeating the Storm Beast.

But one shelter fragment was far from enough; he needed to collect ten fragments to upgrade the Shelter to second level.

However, it was unknown how long it would take to gather ten shelter fragments to upgrade to a second level Shelter.

Tang Ping tidied up the Shelter and opened the chat group on his phone to see what everyone's situation was.

"It's a bit strange," he mused, staring at his phone's network connection, "a global Level 10 gale, and the internet still hasn't gone down. I wonder if it's because of the Doomsday Game." He suddenly noticed that his phone's battery was at 22%.

"Looks like I'll need to scavenge for some power banks tomorrow morning," Tang Ping thought. Since his phone still had network, it clearly meant it could still be used normally.

Company Group Chat

I Am A Flying Bird: "Help! There's a monster here! It's like a zombie, biting anyone it sees!"

Marry A Third Sister-in-Law: "What! Zombies! Really?! The Level 10 sandstorm outside is already despair-inducing enough; if there are zombies too, how are people supposed to live?!"

Old Slave Doesn't Want to Rent: "How's your situation? Hurry and hide in your Shelter!"

I Am A Flying Bird: "My Shelter's health bar is almost zero; hiding in there would definitely be suicide. I can only run with those ordinary people! I'm currently hiding in a small supermarket."

Ox Horse is Truly Ox Horse: "Sister Flying Bird, quickly go to the rooftop by yourself, quietly! Put your Shelter in mid-air, and you won't have to worry about those zombies!"

Ox Horse is Truly Ox Horse: "Absolutely do not let those ordinary people find out. They haven't gotten Shelters and have all gone crazy. If they know you're a player, they will definitely try everything to kill you. I saw a player today who was discovered while entering his Shelter, and a group of people with axes and hammers literally smashed his Shelter's health bar to zero! In the end, his shelter item was stolen, and that player turned into a pile of minced meat!"

Little Grass: "Yes, if you don't have the ability to protect yourself, and your Talent isn't strong, absolutely do not provoke those ordinary people. Now that they know they can't survive, they want to make sure no one else does either! Once they discover you, it's even more dangerous than those zombies!"

Cold Crow: "Hahahaha, all die, all die! If we can't live, none of you will live!"

Group chat member Cold Crow has been kicked from the chat.

Let's Jump Off A Building Together: "Among our company, there are still people who didn't choose a Shelter? Weren't they all @'d?"

Ox Horse is Truly Ox Horse: "This person went to KTV before and passed out from drinking. Don't mind him; this guy isn't a good person."

Sister Wang Next Door: "Has anyone joined our company's established Sheng Tian Survivor Base?"

Ox Horse is Truly Ox Horse: "Join my foot! That bitch Wang Yanyan directly took that group of old exploiters and left the group, as if afraid we'd become high-ranking members and cause them trouble!"

Ox Horse is Truly Ox Horse: "Damn it! Those bastards, they're really inhumane!"

Little Grass: "What do you want from me?"

Ox Horse is Truly Ox Horse: "Hahahaha, Sister Xiao Cao, I wasn't talking about you."

Sister Wang Next Door: "What do you all think about the people in our group gathering together? Outside, there's a sandstorm and Infected now, and who knows what else there will be in the future. It's always safer if we're together."

Marry A Third Sister-in-Law: "Sister Wang is still wise; I think this is a good idea. @everyone, what do you all think?"

"+1!"

"+1!"

"+1!"
