"Calculating final rewards!"
When Li Qingyuan finally crawled out from underground, the system finally delivered some good news.
He had almost thought he was going to be buried alive. He relied on sheer willpower to keep from passing out.
However, he was in a sorry state. Blood was seeping from his ears and nose, clearly indicating severe internal injuries.
Hiding underground had avoided most of the explosion's damage, but the aftershocks of the two heavy bombs had nearly killed him.
That top-tier weapon could effectively kill targets within sixty meters underground. If it hadn't detonated inside the Son of the Goat, Li Qingyuan would definitely be dead.
Individual strength was far too fragile in the face of modern weapons. Not to mention he wasn't even as strong as an ordinary special agent, even Thor would probably be taken down if he took a Bunker Buster head-on.
"Main Quest: Survive.
Task Objective: Survive for seven days. Task complete. Reward: None!"
"Side Quest One: For every ten surviving town residents, you will receive one free attribute point. Currently, Valia Town has thirty-seven remaining residents. The host will receive three free attribute points.
Side Quest Two: For each key figure who survives, you will receive an additional free attribute point. Currently, Ollie, the supermarket manager, and Norton, the lawyer, have survived. Additional reward: two free attribute points."
Well, after all that, I only got five attribute points. It's really quite depressing.
Son of the Goat directly crushed the supermarket, and then all sorts of mutated beasts that heard the commotion went on a killing spree. To have thirty-odd people survive is already quite a feat.
As for the black lawyer, Norton, who should have died long ago, surviving... well, maybe he has natural camouflage!
Unfortunately, that little Shali still died, just like in the plot. I don't know if she was trampled to death along the way or thrown into a pile of monsters.
Even though he only gained five attribute points, which was far from what he had anticipated, surviving was the best reward he could hope for.
"Allocate all points to Physique."
Feeling his vision darken, Li Qingyuan immediately said without hesitation.
He was currently relying on sheer willpower to stay conscious. He didn't plan on saving these attribute points; increasing his Physique was the priority.
No matter the situation, a strong body was the most reliable guarantee.
As his Physique increased from five to ten, he immediately felt a surge of power coursing through his limbs and bones.
The feeling of imminent collapse immediately turned into a mild dizziness, and his damaged internal organs seemed to be healing themselves automatically.
Of course, this was just a delusion. Ten points of Physique was still within the range of a normal person, meaning his wounds would only heal slightly faster than others.
"Hidden Reward: Due to the protagonist's contribution of 17% supportive damage to the final BOSS, Son of the Goat, the supportive skill: Limited Value Increase (Incomplete Version) is awarded!"
??
When did he even deal any damage to Son of the Goat?
Scratching his head, Li Qingyuan felt this stroke of luck was rather inexplicable.
He was just chased by Son of the Goat the whole time, so how did the system determine he was now a support?
But that question could be considered later. First, he should see what this support skill actually was.
'Limited Value Increase (Incomplete Version): Can use one's own life force as a price to summon Evil God creatures to fight for you. Because it's an incomplete version, currently, only mosquito-like creatures can be summoned.'
o((⊙﹏⊙))o...
What in the world is this skill!
Looking at this flawed version of Limited Value Increase, Li Qingyuan was instantly dumbfounded.
Because the skill was directly infused into his mind, he immediately understood its power.
Wasn't this just the Insect Secret Technique of the Aburame clan from that certain eye-ninja legend?
He could summon insects to bite people at the cost of his vitality, but based on his current Physique, he could only summon a few dozen mosquitoes at most each day!
If he exceeded this number, it would surpass the limit of his own recovery and cause some irreversible damage to his body.
Moreover, these summoned mosquitoes were no different from the mosquitoes in the real world. Expecting them to harm enemies was simply wishful thinking.
Dozens of mosquitoes... If he wanted to deal with ordinary people, he could give them a head full of bumps, but did he need to go to so much trouble to deal with ordinary people?
He had gone through so much hardship, and he had actually exchanged it for such a useless skill. It really made him feel that it would have been better not to have gotten anything at all!
'The host can remain in this world for another two hours. Would you like to return immediately?'
The system's prompt continued to ring out.
Stay? Return?
Looking at the mountain of corpses scattered before him, Li Qingyuan suddenly felt a little melancholic.
Should he bring back some local specialties?
After pondering for a moment, he gave up on the idea of picking up a couple of remains.
The Son of the Goat didn't seem to possess any special abilities. Bringing its corpse back seemed to serve no purpose other than to cause trouble.
After all, based on his previous experience with time travel, if he returned now, he would appear directly in his newly opened antique shop, where a senior Hydra agent was still waiting for him.
If the other person saw him appear in an instant with a pile of monster corpses, who knew what strange reaction that guy would have.
So, after picking and choosing for a long time, he found a fist-sized, amber-like crystal from the pile of corpses, and after taking precautions, stuffed it into his pocket.
Although he didn't know what the thing was, it looked quite beautiful. He could take it back for analysis. If it wasn't harmful, he could polish it and make it an exhibit in his shop.
Even if the antique shop was just a cover for his identity, every failed writer had a heart that yearned to become a great author, right?
Even if he couldn't become the number one general store in all the worlds, he at least wanted people to be shocked when they came!
Lest just anyone could point and criticize the goods in his shop, didn't he need to save face?
A series of mechanical roars came from afar, which should be the second batch of cannon fodder sent by the US Army after seeing that the behemoth was dead.
"Who's there?"
A group of soldiers, already on edge, had been expecting the worst when they were sent on this mission. Then, the observer spotted a figure seemingly doing something on top of the monster's remains.
This discovery stunned the soldiers. Could there actually be a living person here?
However, Li Qingyuan had no desire to get involved with the US Army in this world. He simply vanished before their astonished expressions.
