29 Drop rate

Looking at the name of the three news abilities, Sato knew they are of the same origin. He tapped them and dragged them to merge them.

[Ding! [Physiology: Lv 3]+[Human Anatomy: Lv 3]=[Biology: Lv2]]

[Ding! [Biology: Lv2]+[Human sensory reception: Lv 4]=[Biology: Lv3]]

[Ding! [Biology: Lv3]+[Science: Lv2]=[Science: Lv3]]

Science is now level 3.

If he wants to raise it to the next level, then a major ability over level 3 is needed. A minor ability has no effect on increasing the level.

Probably.

Can't forget to upgrade [Storage].

[Storage: Lv3] Open 100m3 static space to store non living objects. Cost:0 Upgrade:1000

Upgrade!

[Storage: Lv4] Open 1000m3 static space to store non living objects. Cost:0 Upgrade:10000

[Name: Ye Sato

...

[Corpse Coin]: 0

…]

Save [Corpse Coin] for a new system function?

Sorry, but what is crucial right now is resources. And by having a large [Storage], he can collect more resources.

And the new function may only be the icing on the cake.

All system functions will, of course, be something good. That's something Sato can be sure of.

But if we compare between good things and crucial things, then the latter is definitely more valuable. And having resources is what's important right now.

Another reason is that he doesn't know how much [Corpse Coin] is needed for a new function to appear.

10000 coins?

100000 coins?

Who knows.

To the next topic

While looking at his rewards, he discovered something unexpected.

It's about his drop rate!

He found out that touching a human's corpse gives you a higher chance of dropping an ability than a zombie's corpse.

If he's not wrong, then it's because once a human turns into a zombie, their mind is somewhat destroyed, which in turn makes them forget their memories.

And what is an ability?

It's a manifestation of knowledge.

If the knowledge is forgotten, will the ability also disappear?

Yes!

Discovering this, he can also guess that if the corpse owner has more abilities, there's more chance it will drop an [Ability]!

Is the ability they drop something they had before turning into a zombie?

Yes.

Sato is definitely sure about that.

From his understanding, he believes the drop is a random [Ability] the corpse possessed and not just some unintentional [Ability] he got from the system. But this is an advantage at the same time as a drawback.

The advantage is that he can kill specific people to acquire the abilities he wants.

The drawback is that it's affected and restricted by the world.

That is to say, since there's no smartphone in this world, like in his, then there's no way to get knowledge about smartphones.

What about stats and [Corpse Coin]?

He thinks it has something to do with the corpse owner.

How much he gets depends randomly on the corpse owner.

Maybe there's even a limit of how many stats he can get.

Who knows, he has no clues.

But if there's a limit on how many stats he can get, then Sato really wants to beat the guy behind that setting.

Why is that person trying to nerf him?

Can't that person let him be overpowered?

Let's get back.

What he wants to say is, if the corpse owner was powerful, smart, or somewhat unique, then the random drop will definitely be better and more. And the time the corpse user died may also affect the drop rate.

Knowing that the drop is based on the corpse owner, we can also infer another point. If he wants other rare or hidden stats or magical power, he will need to travel to a magical anime world.

Now, let's assume everything above is right.

We can then conclude that the zombies here are probably not some genetic mutation. If it were a genetic mutation, then he could probably have gotten a [Talent].

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

You are the culprit!

Wrong case, I will take my leave.

The truth is a parasite!

Well, it can also be some kind of virus. But Sato is pretty sure this disaster is because of parasites.

Now, let's leave all this information dump and get back to the story.

It didn't take him long to come back.

Entering the house, he locked it and lay on the couch in the living room.

He felt bored.

With his current stats, he doesn't even feel tired after all the zombie killing.

As for his mental?

Doesn't feel tired.

He really wants to go back to his world to take a look at what's going on there while he is here.

Will the world pause?

Will the world continue like usual?

Is the time rate difference?

What happens with stuff from the anime world he brings back to his world?

He had so many questions. But he is afraid that once he goes back, the other member may already be gone.

The only thing he can do now is to be patient.

Closing his eyes, Sato entered a half-asleep state.

Early morning.

Hearing a soft sound, Sato slowly woke up.

He sat up and looked at where the sound came from.

It was the room the couple, Takuzo and Naomi, was sleeping in.

The door opened, and Takuzo walked out.

Their eyes met.

He nodded, and Takuzo gave the same response.

Takuzo softly closed the door and walked to take a seat beside him.

"Ye-san, thank you very much for saving us. I am very grateful for that," Takuzo said very softly, not wanting to wake up the other members.

Words are useless.

Gimme your girlfriend.

Only with that can you show your gratitude to me.

But it's probably impossible for you to do it.

"You don't need to thank me. I lent a hand because you were pleasant to the eyes, unlike the other." Sato looked at Takuzo beside him, then a question arose in his mind, so he asked, "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?

"I don't know if you will believe me, but I felt my doom when we broke out of the school. I felt death was always beside me. It's like it wanted me dead. But every time I felt it was over for me, you came and dragged me back from death." Takuzo looked at the ground. He felt relieved saying everything he had in his mind.

Oh?

So you can even feel your purpose was to die?

Then why didn't you just die?

Right, with me here, even if you want to die, it will be very tough.

How difficult?

It would be easier to ascend to heaven.

The above is just him boasting, don't mind it.

"But can you still feel death?" he inquired.

Takuzo nodded and said, "Yes, I can still faintly feel it."

It looks like his guess was right.

And it was also the right decision to save this guy.

"I accept your gratitude. Since you are awake, you can go and eat breakfast." Sato pointed to a couple of bags in a corner.

Here comes the reason he saved Takuzo and Naomi.

If Takuzo can feel a faint breath of death, that means Naomi and Alice's parents may also do.

And he wants to test if he can somehow use them to attract zombies.

He wastes a lot of time running around and searching for zombies. But if he could make the zombies come to him, then the efficiency of killing will rise significantly.

Why not use Takashi and Kohta?

If he used the main character or a supporting character, then a plot armor will probably appear.

Laying down on the couch with his arms behind his head, Sato pondered.

Is there someone manipulating the people in this world?

Or is it the world's consciousness?

Or is it just the plot?

Are they looking at him right now?

It's probably just the plot.

With how much he changed the events and his outrageous actions, if someone is manipulating, then they would have stopped him long ago.

Sato was satisfied with his own answer.

Time keeps moving on.

One member after another woke up.

Sato greeted them and told them to eat breakfast.

Of course, he didn't forget to eat breakfast himself.

Finally, all members were awake and gathered in the living room.

Some were sitting either on the couch, on the floor, or just stood against a wall.

"While everyone was asleep, I checked the Humvee and discovered it was equipped with a deep fording kit. It could probably be submerged up to 60 inches in the water," Sato said.

He didn't check. He already knew it.

After all, this was an event before Saya's beautiful mother appeared.

He looked at everyone in the room and continued, "That said, we don't need to find some other road or bridge to cross. We only need to find a place where the water isn't deep and cross over."

"Is there enough space for everyone in the Humvee?" Saya asked.

I'm that car that you get on, international.

First class seat on my lap girl, riding comfortable.

'Cause I know what the girl them need, New York to Haiti.

I got lipstick stamps on my passport, make it hard to leave.

The wrong stage! Gotta go.

So what he wants to say is, if there's not enough space, there's a seat on his lap.

And he promised there won't be anything weird poking from below.

Certainly.

Probably.

Maybe not.

Definitely not.

And the seat is only available for girls!

"The Humvee can hold all of us. The question is, can all of you endure staying in a cramped space? If not, then we can take turns crossing over," Sato said, then asked, "Any more questions? If not, prepare yourself, do what needs to be done and assemble outside."

With a nod, one by one went to do their stuff.

Use the bathroom, take a shower, brush the teeth, etc.

He took this opportunity to change his clothes to a much better one.

His current clothes aren't cheap clothes from his world. After so long, he had, of course, long since then changed into a better one. And now he will change once again to more fashionable and better clothes.

He is now wearing a black tracksuit and a grey coat. The tracksuit was a little tight, but it didn't restrain his movement. The grey coat reached a few inches above his knees. You can't forget about his black sports shoes.

That's all.

How about giving more details?

He doesn't care much about how he looks and what he wears, so no more details.

And he knows very well that males out there don't want to know about how he looks.

At least he doesn't want to know about how other males look. So other males probably also think the same.

Female?

Are there females?

Alright, you will get more details.

Dressed in a tracksuit his body was showing their perfect lines. Because he wore a coat, some of his body was covered, but it could not hide his charming body. It was still possible to see the outline of his flawless muscles.

Just look at his firm legs and chest, and you can imagine how good his body is.

If the tracksuit was a little tighter, then you could even see his abs. And maybe his big brother.

Why didn't he pick larger clothes?

He picked the largest.

The Asian average size is not so large. It's like one size smaller, so yeh, you understand.

So how do you feel, ladies and gentlemen?

Feeling thirsty?

Feeling a little hot?

Feeling like getting nosebleeds?

A little wet?

Let's now ask how the straight males think.

Do you still think you are straight?

Do you doubt the meaning of life?

Are you very confused now?

Alright, I am not gonna keep embarrassing you.

Everyone gathered outside when they finished their business.

They are all refreshed and ready to continue their journey.

The girls gave him a few glances. But this isn't a rom-com, so don't expect them to all be in love with him, for like, no reason.

Everyone entered the car and set forth.
