First Memory Sphere!

"Finally! A store!" Shane exclaimed in surprise, as he didn't expect that reaching level 5 would give him such a convenient function of the system. 

"Survivor Store…" 

As soon as he said these words, a different virtual blue screen appeared before him. It was quite similar to the limited store that he had seen before. However, this time, instead of 5 discounted items, he could see 6 items with no discounts whatsoever. 

"Harper… Just wait for a minute. This won't take long." Shane said to the waiting man outside their shelter.

"Alright. I'll just look around, Sir Shane." Harper replied. Since Shane was a Foreign Survivor who could save their world from the Zombie Outbreak, he ought to respect Shane even though he was younger.

In the meantime, Shane checked the six items and found three of them familiar. 

[ Zombie Toast: A weird and disgusting toast that is made from zombie flesh and blood. It can be used by a survivor who is desperate for food and willing to try anything, but with a high chance of side effects and consequences. It has a +50% chance of restoring the user's health and vitality, but also a +50% chance of causing the user to become insane.

Price: 6 Zombie Cores

Quantity: 10/10 ]

At this time, Shane couldn't really think that anyone would dare to try eating this. This Zombie Toast was just too risky, and it could potentially end your life as well.

'Well, unless there's some talent that nullifies these side effects, no one should dare to eat it.' Shane mused as he checked the following items.

It was the Rage Potion that was now worth 20 Zombie Cores each and the Treasure Map that was 60 Zombie Cores after the 75% off was removed. 

He was familiar with all these three as they were in limited store before. 

"Right… That treasure map was only worth 15 Zombie Cores at that time." Shane remarked as he recalled its price in the previous limited store. He couldn't help but lament as he should've probably tried earning more Zombie Cores at that item.

Unfortunately, he had only 32 Zombie Cores at this time, so there was no way he could get the item.

Then, he continued to check the other items.

[ Zombie Doll: A cute and creepy doll that resembles a zombie in appearance and sound. It can be held by a Survivor who wants to avoid getting noticed by low-tier Zombies but with limited durability and effectiveness. It has a +100% chance of making low-tier Zombies ignore the user. It is completely ineffective against Spitter Zombies, Mid-Tier, and High-Tier Zombies. This item can be used twice for three hours by popping the zombie doll's eyes. 

Price: 30 Zombie Cores 

Quantity: 3/3 ] 

Shane felt that this was certainly a good item, but not for him, who wanted to hunt low-tier Zombies. Well, it could at least be used during an emergency.

Then, he continued to check the next items.

[ Tier 1 Hunter Gloves: A pair of gloves that enhance the grip and damage of the hands. They are made of leather and reinforced with mysterious dust and have a fingerless design for dexterity. They also provide some resistance to acid-based attacks from Spitter Zombies, reducing the damage and burn effect.

Price: 10 Zombie Cores 

Quantity: 1/1 ] 

[ Tier 1 Hunter Jacket: A leather jacket that protects the torso from zombie bites and scratches. It is decorated with spikes and patches and has several pockets and belts for carrying items. It also provides some resistance to fire-based attacks from zombies or other sources, reducing the damage and burn effect.

Price: 20 Zombie Cores

Quantity: 1/1 ] 

"So there's another set of clothes…" Shane remarked as he looked at the images displayed on the blue screen.

After some thought, he decided to buy both the gloves and jacket.

There was no other place where they could get a set of new clothes or equipment, so he felt that this was an excellent opportunity to get some.

Of course, Shane wore the Hunter Gloves and as for the Hunter Jacket, he decided to give it to Harper. Apparently, Harper's jacket looked quite pitiful. It was filled with holes, and aside from giving warmth, it didn't give him any protection from zombie bites.

After Shane closed the Survivor Store, he finally opened his Inventory to take out his Memory Sphere!

[ Inventory: Memory Spherex25, 15 Item Upgrade Crystals, 2 Zombie Cores, 25.5L Water, 2 Bread, 1 Experience Potion ] 

After selecting a Memory Sphere, the familiar blue orb materialized before him. 

[ Do you wish to absorb the Memory Sphere? ] 

"Yes…" Shane replied without hesitation. 

[ Memory Sphere absorption complete. ] 

[ You have obtained Part 1 of 25 Memory Fragments ] 

[ You have learned a Survivor Skill: Firearm Mastery ] 

[ You have learned a Survivor Skill: Fishing ]

[ Firearm Mastery Lv10 ( Max ): The Survivor can use any firearm with ease, and has increased accuracy, damage, and reload speed. The Survivor also has a chance to find more ammo or spare parts for their guns. ] 

[ Fishing Lv10 ( Max ): The Survivor can catch fish from any body of water, using various tools or methods. The Survivor also has a chance to catch bigger or rarer fish, or find other items in the water. ] 

Shane felt dizzy momentarily as he absorbed his alternate self's memories! As expected, it contained information about his first Apocalypse, the A.I. Rebellion, and Survivor Skills that he had forgotten!

"Amazing… One of my problems is finally solved!" Shane exclaimed as he saw his current stats.
