Chapter 7 ( weekend bonus)

Maria is diagonally to my left and Talita is behind me with Lais and Luis right behind her, this is our current formation, we are going down the stairs since we no longer found any zombies on the fourth floor, we only found another coat like the Talita is using it and two more knives that are half frageia, better than nothing.

The third floor is made up of several offices that are rented to several small companies, so it has several rooms divided by a long corridor that leads to a reception that is our destination as it is next to the cafeteria.

Even from the stairs, you could already see several zombies in the hallway in front of one of the doors that is closed, there are probably live people inside the room, and a small medical office.

From what I remember, the office only has one elderly doctor and two reception staff who take turns every other day, so it's difficult to know how many are there and whether I want to get involved.

There are four zombies in front of the door without paying attention to us, but I know that when we get closer they will notice.

I signaled the others to enter the first door after leaving the stairs, after entering the door everyone relaxed against the wall, I felt like shouting at them because they didn't even check first if the room was really empty.

When they saw that I started analyzing the room as soon as I entered, they realized the probably fatal error, as I found a zombie crawling behind one of the tables near the entrance where the others had sat.

As he did not represent an immediate danger, I called Lais to kill the zombie so she could unlock the system.

"lais mate esse, I want to confirm something"

" all good "

Marria gave the knife she was carrying to Lais, she kept one of the two knives we found on the fourth floor, the other one was with Luis.

Lais approached and stuck the knife in the zombie's eye, which soon stopped moving. She gave me a look of surprise, basically confirming that she had unlocked the long-awaited system.

Name: Lais Sousa

Status: excited, happy

Level: 1 (0/40)

Strength: 9

Stamina: 10

Agility: 12

Mind: 11

Skills: motivation lvl 1

I used analysis which is still at lvl 1 but is displaying a little more information, yes I am using it moderately because I realized that if I use it a lot I start to feel a headache, and in the case of the information I received previously and I simply analyzed a door to analysis returned 'it's a door', yes not very useful but now after passing 50% of the progress this 'it's a cheap metal door', a little more useful.

I'll try to analyze Lais's ability to see if more information comes back.

'as the target is a friendly unit, no resistance was encountered, the skill was a success'

Motivation lvl 1: when this ability is activated through ##### the effect on the user and the target increases strength and agility by 10% per lvl of the skill, this ability can only be upgraded through ###### or ###### .

A lot of information but there are some things that are censored probably due to my skill level, and the system is giving out some clues about some functions it has, how skills can be resisted.

System an ability can be resisted how? I asked in my mind.

' programmed response 82: skills can be resisted through other skills directly in conflict with the one used, e.g. fireball against fire resistance, the damage will be mitigated according to the level of the skill.

Or resisted through statistics, the greater the difference between the attacker and the defender, the less or more damage will be caused, e.g.: attacker with 10 strength against a defender with 15 strength, the damage will be well mitigated even disregarding the other statistics. '

' there are other ways for skills to be resisted or in an extreme case nullified but the most common are those mentioned above '

Lots of juicy information but let's get back to Lais's big eyes looking at me.

"Any changes to the question I asked before? "

I asked with a small smile on the corner of my mouth.

"How do you know I unlocked it? "

"my skill"

"Do you have analysis? " Maria asked, grabbing my arm.

"Yes, but it doesn't give all the information yet, what were the skills that appeared for you to choose from? "

" none of them already had this in the skills column when the system activated, so you had to choose? "

Lais asked in a doubtful voice.

"it can be different for each person, how to activate the system I only needed to kill one you needed two"

I answered half the truth, I also can't deliver all the answers without knowing if everyone will continue together as a group.

It seemed that they agreed with me from their expressions, except Maria next to me who I met but we worked together for more than a year almost two, she knows that I'm not one to go through everything without something in return, at least she didn't give me away, probably she will wait until we are alone to discuss the subject.

"Do you know how to activate her ability? I didn't get all the information from my analysis because it's still a low level"

"To be honest, I only know the name of the skill and there is no description, what does your skill say about mine? "

"Do you want everyone to know? Or just you? "

As everyone is paying attention to our conversation, I emphasize this question for lais.

Before Lais responds, Maria lets go of my arm and speaks, looking at Luis and Talita.

"I think it's better to check if we find anything useful in the room"

She said this, pulling the other two with her to the back of the room.

"since she answered my question, the analysis measured the description: Motivation lvl 1: when this ability is activated through ##### the effect on the user and the target increases strength and agility by 10% per lvl of the ability, this skill can only be upgraded through ###### or ######."

"There are some parts I couldn't understand, can you repeat that?"

"No, you didn't understand, but it was blurry, I think my skill level is too low to get all the information. "

"Okay, thank you, can you just let us know this information? Maybe later I'll want to share more now. "

"No problem, stay between us"

After that I sat down to rest, and I followed her with the others in search of something useful in the room.
