Chapter 2: Talent Advancement

A virtual selection box appeared before Fang Heng’s eyes.

【1: Draw a new talent and retain your original talent.】

【2: Upgrade your original talent.】

Upgradable talent?

Fang Heng was taken aback.

Wasn't an S-rank talent already the highest level? Could it actually be improved?

Regaining his focus, Fang Heng quickly assessed the current situation.

Right now, the risk of randomly obtaining a skill was too high; if he happened to draw a common skill, it would be very mediocre.

By comparison, although the effect of his current S-rank talent, Zombie Clone, wasn't as strong as he had imagined, it was still an S-rank skill, after all.

If he upgraded it, there might be some miraculous effect.

Screw it!

Fang Heng reached out and tapped on option two. "I choose to upgrade my talent."

【Notification: Player has chosen to upgrade talent, obtaining SSS-rank skill: Enhancement - Super Zombie Clone.】

【Notification: Original talent - Zombie Clone skill level has been reset.】

Talent: Enhancement - Super Zombie Clone.

Rank: SSS.

Talent Description: You can now control more powerful zombie clones. Zombie clones possess 50% of the main body's total attributes and an additional 300% of the main body's health; zombie clones can inherit most of the main body's skills and passive skills.

Additional Note: Every time your character level increases, you gain an additional number of zombie clones equal to your current character level.

Additional Note: Zombies automatically revive 24 hours after death; revival time will shorten as the player's level increases.

"That's insane!"

After reviewing the skill description, Fang Heng couldn't help but exclaim.

The biggest change after the skill upgrade was the number of zombie clones!

Although there was only one at level one, every time the character leveled up, he would gain a number of zombie clones equal to his current character level.

He would gain 2 extra at level 2, 3 extra at level 3...

……

【Notification: Reset complete, please select your initial game world.】

Having finished selecting his talent, Fang Heng found himself back in the Main God Space.

Huh? Even the game progress was reset?

Fang Heng remembered that the original owner of this body was an infrastructure fanatic. He had spent years building a solo shelter in the zombie apocalypse, and there were hundreds of storage boxes filled with basic building materials in the warehouse.

Wait a minute.

The survival supplies the original owner had accumulated for so long were all wiped out too?

What does this mean? Not letting me have a good time?

【Please select one of the following initial game worlds (Simple Difficulty)】

【1: Zombie Apocalypse】.

【2: Wasteland Apocalypse】.

【3: Blood Clan Apocalypse】.

Damn it!

Fang Heng, who had been prepared to inherit the legacy, sighed and was forced to accept reality.

When players first enter the Main God game, they can choose their target game background.

The Zombie Apocalypse corresponds to a world overrun by zombies, where the background setting is that all nations have been destroyed, with only a small number of survivors remaining.

The Wasteland Apocalypse environment is a world destroyed by nuclear radiation, where humans have built several safe fortresses underground, while the surface is filled with mutated, distorted monsters; leaving the underground rashly results in radiation exposure.

As for the last one, the Blood Clan Apocalypse, it is a world ruled by the Blood Clan, where humans have become food raised by the Blood Clan.

Among the three beginner worlds, the Blood Clan Apocalypse is recognized as the easiest.

As a kept human, as long as you don't court death in the beginning, it is relatively easy to survive, whereas the Zombie Apocalypse is the most difficult.

Over fifty percent of players die during the initial solo survival phase.

After a moment of thought, Fang Heng decided to enter the Zombie Apocalypse world.

The Zombie Apocalypse was the best match for his talent.

Taking advantage of the fact that wild zombies lack high-level intelligence and do not attack their own kind, Fang Heng could use his talent's "AFK" skill to quickly collect resources in the apocalypse.

If he were in the Blood Clan Apocalypse world, the zombies he sent out to "AFK" would soon be treated as monsters on the street and shot by the police.

【Notification: Player has completed selection - Zombie Apocalypse, entering the apocalypse now...】

A soft light filled Fang Heng's vision.

Opening his eyes again, Fang Heng found himself standing in a forest.

【Please begin your journey. In this apocalypse, you will face various crises; please try to survive.】

Fang Heng cautiously scanned his surroundings.

He started in a forest environment.

After confirming there were no zombies within his line of sight, Fang Heng first opened his character attributes to check.

Player: Fang Heng.

Level: 1.

Health: 100/100.

Stamina: 100/100.

Mental: 100/100.

Energy: 100/100.

Strength: 5.

Agility: 5.

Constitution: 5.

Willpower: 5.

Perception: 5.

Intelligence: 5.

Talent Skill: Enhancement - Super Zombie Clone.

His backpack contained only a portable survival radio, and his character attributes had been reset by the Main God.

"The system is truly a scam!"

The sudden game reset had disrupted Fang Heng's original plan.

He shook his head and pondered.

To protect the lives of the public, the Federal Government had established various safe zones in the beginner-level Main God games, where ordinary civilian players could receive free protection from the government.

In other words, as long as he reached a safe zone, he would be safe!

Unfortunately, doing this in practice was very difficult.

Federal safe zones were few and far between, and the game world was extremely vast. Furthermore, the game world had a "game zone" distinction, and ordinary players would even appear randomly in various corners of the world after entering the game, making it very difficult to find a "safe zone" immediately.

Usually, at this time, players would choose to find a shelter established by various game guilds or game companies to stay temporarily after entering the game.

This was not free.

After logging off, players would still have to find the game company or guild behind the shelter and pay a sum of money as "rent."

As long as you have money, you can greatly increase your chances of survival in the game.

Unfortunately, Fang Heng currently owed others a lot of money.

However, some shelters also provided job opportunities, and Fang Heng could try to gain a few days of residency by submitting some supplies.

"I'll find a shelter nearby to settle down first, then consider other things."

Fang Heng took out the portable survival radio from his backpack.

The portable radio could send a message every half hour, and players within 100 kilometers of him could see the message through their radios.

Likewise, Fang Heng could also receive messages sent by players within 100 kilometers through the radio.

Many shelters advertised every half hour to attract customers.

As soon as Fang Heng connected the radio, a dense stream of messages refreshed.

【It's over, it's all over, it's the 8th District!】

【Damn! So unlucky! Anyone looking to team up? My talent is Predator...】

【Is there any shelter? Urgent! Price is negotiable!】

【F***! Why did the 8th District open? Why am I so unlucky?】

【Water, I need water! I haven't had water for seven hours, I'm not going to make it, I have wood to trade.】

【Looking for teammates, there are 3 of us here, preparing to start building a shelter within seven days, coordinates (20291*82112), interested parties come quickly, only elite players accepted, beggars get lost!】

8th District?

A new server?!

Fang Heng was startled.

Beginner-difficulty Main God game worlds usually have multiple mirror game worlds existing simultaneously, similar to "servers."

The Main God rarely opens new "servers"; this usually only happens when old servers are full, when old servers are judged to have "passive gameplay," or after a server has been cleared.

After a new server is opened, many old players who were judged to have "passive gameplay" in the Main God game are also forcibly added to the new server.

During the period when a new server is opened, everything starts from scratch, and the survival difficulty naturally increases a hundred or a thousand times!

This is the period when the player mortality rate is the highest!

"Hahaha! I'm going to be rich!"

Facing the crisis, Fang Heng was actually somewhat excited, clenching his fists.

At the same time, crisis also meant opportunity!

A chance to make a fortune!

In the old servers, resources had long been monopolized by various game companies and federal governments, but in the new server, all of this would start over!

Fang Heng raised a hand.

The mud in front of him churned.

"Sshhh!!"

A light brown palm reached out from the soil.

A rotting zombie climbed out of the mud with great effort, carrying a foul stench, and stood before Fang Heng.

Move!

Fang Heng controlled the zombie clone to lead the way, and he began to walk forward.

The plan needed to change.

If he could be the first to build a shelter in the game and collect "rent" from others...
