22 Ch.20 Surprise package, Surprise Skills, and yet another Surprise.

After we all enter into the tent and situate ourselves at the table I go to ask Red for an update when all of a sudden *Ding*

Karen:Tony you've just received a package from Earth with an attached note

I look at the package that has just entered my storage but take the note out read first.

Earth: I just recalled I've made an error in judgment when I compensated you with RP your. your requirements were to be able to live as comfortably as nobility by taking in account the exchange rate for local currency and it would have been fine if you picked either of the other two planets but you chose the one where civilization has broke down and money no longer has any value so the amount I gave you is not nearly enough so I've taken a peek at what your current amount is and sent you enough to give you a nice round number Sorry for the inconvenience and enjoy hopefully what is a comfortable life]

All this was written on as a soul imprint that vanished as I collected the info it stored. I then receive the package from my storage and hear a *ding*

karen: wow this I'd just...

Tony: What?? Show me now!!

[system]

RP(5,000,000)

Tony:!!!!

Karen:see what I mean?

Tony:*sighs*

Red: master why are you sighing

Tony: I've just acquired alot of RP but I realized alot will probably go into building a faction.

Red: well hold that thought till after this meeting also let me catch you up on current affairs.

Tony: ok I'm all ears

Red: ok then...after you left the office building me and the other original 9 kill the remaining zombies in the building while a few of the perished due to lack of weapons after acquiring equipment and subjugating enough to fill my command cap we moved towards the south killing and powering up. When I got to level 3 and filled my command Capacity fully to 10000 that's when I achieved a class called Corpse Commander that added a bunch of new skills. The ones that stand out are promote that made it easier to establish ranks and roles and a new skill the auto merit system that awards soldiers based on their merits what the want. I believe the class is a result of the path rules you set for me through the enhanced potential skill based off the skills gain from having it and its actually very helpful a good chunk of the lowest rank soldiers tasked with building the wall are gaining merits and they immediately used them for abilities to increase build speed coupled with the fact they don't tire. In the past few hour wall construction is nearly complete materials used wear aquired by demolishing the buildings within 200m of the wall inside and outside so it is harder to approach without being noticed.

Tony: That's good.

Red: While construction of the wall was getting started I started sorting through the loot that has been aquired to find things that will be useful this is what I found.

[water source stone large](yellow+): converts any type of energy into pure water.

[Skill Scroll:Earth remodel](purple): able to shape and mold and material originating from the ground.

[blueprints: Soul collection Tower](blue): blueprints to a yellow tier structure that is capable of collecting the souls of the undead that are eliminated from the game.

[blueprints: zombie barracks](green): a set if blueprints that can only be aquired by someone with the ability to control zombies and tier and effects of the building depends on materials used in construction]

Red: plus some other things that will improve the quality of life.

Tony: can I see that Skill Scroll?

Red:Sure.

She pulls it out of her bracelet and hands it to me. When I open it and look at it I get a prompt from Karen asking if I want to use it then all of a sudden...*Ding*

Karen: Hold up!!!

(An exhaustible energy that is used to power magic skills that are not native to the users system)(replenishes over time, faster while asleep)

Well that was unexpected or was it..

Tony: that was my..

Karen: your Sages Wisdom at work, just by appraising the scroll you aquired enough knowledge to directly learn it without using it now someone else can use it.

Tony: Red...Do you have any other Skill Scrolls.

Red:Yes but none are useful for building like this one.

Red not realizing what happened just then answers back while taking out several other Scrolls mostly basic attack spells and support ones.

I then proceed to look at each individual one and then start chuckling to myself evily. While Red and Sue are looking at me weirdly.

[System]

!!!New[ Fire Ball, Ice Shard, Wind Blade, Earth Spike, Telekinesis, Cure, and Detoxify.

With this I now have a connection with all basic Affinities and can use that as the key to access those elements with out the use of a skill however that can wait.

Tony: okay I'll leave setting up the base In your hands. And let me ask you about the current affairs of the City mainly information on the survivors.

Red: the largest group is in the north part of the city, they have erected a wall. Numbers are judged to be in the tens of thousands, living situation is unknown our scouts have reported 3 scavenger teams leaving and going back however they've not even come close to this area and they looked worse for the wear and had fewer numbers on the return trip.

Tony was taking a moment to process this info when *ding*
