Receiving a Wave of Treasure Chests!

Maxwell collected all the zombies back into his Fusion space, taking the opportunity to count the zombies he currently had in his possession.

For male zombies, he had a level 11 mutated zombie, and one each of levels 9, 7, 5, 3, 2, and 1.

As for female zombies, Maxwell had fewer, apart from Eva and Carline, only having one each from levels 7 to 1.

It seemed that all he needed was another level 1 female zombie, and Maxwell could turn those seven into a level 8 entity.

Continuing to look further, Maxwell's eyes lit up.

He had almost forgotten that he had two upgrade treasure chests yet to be opened!

Maxwell took out the chests and opened one immediately.

The system notification sounded.

"Ding! Host gains 10 gene points, 3 ability points."

Maxwell didn't hesitate, he immediately added the gene points and ability points to his body, then opened the next chest.

"Ding! Host gains 15 gene points, 5 ability points."

After adding these points to his body, Maxwell faintly felt something different.

"My ability level has increased!" Maxwell thought.

"Ding! You have received a daily treasure chest, please open your space to accept the chest!"

The cold notification sounded again.

"Oh? A treasure chest?" Maxwell smiled.

"But I've fused many zombies before, what about those chests?"

Maxwell was a bit puzzled.

However, his hands moved to open the Fusion space.

In the Fusion space, above each grid containing a zombie, a treasure chest was floating.

The chests were of various colors, and numbers were marked on the upper right corners.

The first was Eva's, with a number 11 on the green chest floating above her grid.

Next was Carline's treasure chest, also marked with the number 11 and colored green.

The mutated male zombie had a chest marked 11 as well, but its color was iron gray.

Maxwell had to turn to the beginner's guide for help.

He opened the guide and searched extensively until he found the information explaining why the chests were different colors.

After reading, Maxwell had an epiphany. For instance, if a level 8 zombie had been stored in the space for several hours but hadn't yet reached the time for a chest to appear, and then Maxwell fused it with another zombie, the new fused zombie would inherit the original level 8 zombie's storage time and add it as a weight to the chest.

This means within the same level, the chests are ranked from low to high, with colors respectively being: gray, white, green, blue, red, gold.

Understanding this, Maxwell chose to open the chest from Eva's grid.

"Ding! Host opens a level 11 treasure chest, congratulations to the host for gaining an increase of 11 points in all attributes, 11 gene points, and 11 ability points. Acquired a zombie weapon: sleeve sword. Acquired a box of food."

This chest was quite generous.

What exactly does "all attributes" include, Maxwell wondered.

After collecting these rewards, he could distinctly feel a bit stronger.

Maxwell swung his fist and noticed his strength seemed to have increased, and his power was enhanced.

He jumped on the spot, feeling that his jumping ability had also improved.

His perception seemed better too, and correspondingly, his mental values must have increased.

Besides these, the chest also gave him a weapon.

A weapon is just a weapon, but why call it a zombie weapon?

Could it be meant only for zombie use, not for humans?

Maxwell held the weapon in his hands, examining it carefully—it was a short sword.

It was about the size of an adult man's hand, just a dozen centimeters long, with the tip gleaming coldly, appearing very sharp.

Maxwell handed the short sword to Eva, saying, "Eva, this sword is for you!"

Eva looked puzzled, seemingly unable to grasp Maxwell's intention.

After a while, Eva reached out her hand, and without any visible movement, the small sleeve sword vanished.

What? Can it do that?

Where did the sleeve sword go?

"Eva, where's the sword?" Maxwell asked curiously.

Eva then extended her hand again, and the sleeve sword reappeared in her grasp.

"Amazing!" Maxwell couldn't help but exclaim. This was truly impressive!

Eva ignored him.

Maxwell shrugged his shoulders; he still needed to focus on upgrading Eva.

Next, Maxwell opened Carline's green treasure chest.

"Ding! Host opens a level 11 treasure chest, congratulations to the host for gaining 10 points in mental strength. Acquired Meditation: Cleansing Heart Spell. Acquired a box of food."

After collecting all the rewards, Maxwell felt his mind seemed a bit clearer, likely due to the 10 points of mental strength.

But what exactly was this technique?

It was specifically indicated to be related to meditation.

Maxwell held the book in his hands, flipped through it without discerning much, and simply tossed it into his storage space. The long stick and sword that Carline had been holding were also sent into the storage space.

Then, Maxwell opened the treasure chest of the level 11 mutated male zombie.

"Ding! Host opens a level 11 treasure chest, congratulations to the host for gaining 20 points in strength, 5 points in skin resistance. Acquired a box of food."

Maxwell collected the rewards.

Instantly, he felt his skin become much firmer, and soon after, the sensation faded, but it seemed somewhat different from before.

Subsequently, Maxwell proceeded to open the other chests as well.

After collecting the rewards, Maxwell received 15 points of strength, 12 points of speed, 18 points of mental strength, 3 Tina ability points, several boxes of food, and two knives.

The chests opened later were of a lower level, and the items they contained were obviously not as high-grade or rare as the earlier ones.

Though they were lower level, such chests would appear daily, and thinking about that made Maxwell feel quite pleased.

Maxwell integrated all these attribute points into his body. Just these small increments could make a difference, so he was confident that if he kept receiving such boosts daily, his body might eventually match up to a mutated zombie.

"We need to level this place, find some suitable tools quickly; demolishing this building is a big project!"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside.

Maxwell quickly collected all the zombies back into his space, then stealthily jumped out through the window.

"What was that? Something came out from inside?"

"It must be a human, not a zombie!"

After confirming, the people relaxed.

Maxwell glanced at them, remained silent, and walked away.
