Chapter 289 Zombie Angel
"Ouch~"
ming clutched his chest, not from a physical wound, but from an internal one!
He was so 'fascinated' watching Raoul fight the thief earlier that he forgot to collect money. What a waste!
[Global broadcast, Zone 1521, completed today's shared kill, reward experience 6000, gold 1000, the mist in this zone dissipates by 0.5%.]
"1000 gold coins!?"
"No symbolic items?"
"..."
ming looked up at the sky and closed his eyes, took a deep breath in and out~ Don't be angry.
After all, it was his fault for not giving complete instructions, which led to the death of the thief Billy and a painful loss of money. It had nothing to do with anyone else.
Slap~
ming patted Raoul's big head, "Don't worry, I don't blame you."
"Hehe~"
"Next time you fight, remember to beat your opponent to a pulp but keep them alive. You should know that each of your opponents is here to bring you money. You need to treat them well, understand?"
"Hehe~"
"It's okay, you don't need to blame yourself. Work a bit harder later to make up for today's mistake."
"Hehe~"
[Da Vinci, imitating you, strokes Sol's broken tail, "You have done something indirectly meritorious, what reward do you want?" Sol looks at the caterpillar in front of him, "Can I have a chubby white worm instead?"]
[Da Vinci offers the worm and continues to stroke Sol, "In the future, keep up the good work." Sol nods, looking at Da Vinci, "So, is my butt nice to touch?"]
[Da Vinci takes a step back and dives into the frog pond~]
A while later, ming drove the corpse of Billy and tossed it into a large crack in the earth, far from home.
On the way back, he unconsciously started pondering again. Since Raoul is a thinking being, then he is definitely not a zombie anymore, but should be a mutant or a transformed creature, and should be able to continue evolving.
In that case, he should think carefully about Raoul's evolutionary direction.
ming believes that, under his meticulous care, the six-star mutant Raoul may be able to advance to a hundred-star mutant.
Of course, people always have dreams, and it is very likely to become a thousand or even ten-thousand-star mutant.
Raoul, you will grow, for sure.
Thinking about this, even driving became comfortable. But the car used to chase after the thief Billy today is completely worn out and needs to be replaced. Wouldn't it be wasteful not to use the old car before throwing it away?
At this moment, the corner of his eyes caught the edge of the mist.
"Right!"
He suddenly felt very stupid. Since a puppet entering the mist would lose connection for some reason and its life or death would be uncertain, his car is part of his skills. If he lets a puppet drive it in… Let's give it a try~
Hiss!
A moment later, an old car stopped at the edge of the mist.
After Ming got out of the car, he extracted a zombie from the puppet space, "Kubo, today I'll personally teach you how to drive. To accomplish something very meaningful."
Teaching in progress... Zombie Kubo is learning... Lesson complete.
" go~"
ming waved to Kubo, who was now seated in the driver's seat.
"Hehe~"
The car started and slowly moved towards the edge of the mist. He immediately activated his Eye of the Puppeteer skill, shifting his perspective to Kubo.
The car entered the mist, revealing a grayish desolate city ruin and a scarlet sky. The surroundings were completely desolate, with not even a single weed in sight, a scene that could be described as deathly silent.
"The connection isn't severed?!"
ming was thrilled. His conjecture was indeed confirmed.
The car belonged to the skill category, and his puppet was within the sealed 'skill'. If the mist truly had a judgment ability, it would judge the skill, not Kubo sitting inside the skill.
It was deceiving the heavens.
Great!
The current perspective was from the zombie Kubo, who could also receive orders. While checking out the surroundings through the car windows, ming's heart was bleeding.
Because this Eye of the Puppeteer skill was burning money every second. no matter how good a skill is, one can't bear it if it's too costly.
"You just keep driving, I'll check again later."
ming severed the Eye of the Puppeteer skill. Even the short few seconds of expenditure made him heartbroken.
The perspective returned to himself. He found a flat cement slab to sit on, watching the time while continuing to think.
He had thought that inside the mist, various monsters would be rampant, but it turned out to be so quiet. Could it be that there were no monsters left?
Ten minutes later, he activated the Eye of the Puppeteer again, shifting the perspective to Kubo. The surroundings were still ruins, grayish land, and a scarlet sky.
"Is there really nothing at all?"
"Wait a bit more?"
ming severed the Eye of the Puppeteer skill again. He couldn't bear such a consumption.
This time, he waited for half an hour before activating the skill and switching the perspective.
"Why is there nothing?"
ming gave Kubo an order to look around, still nothing but a desolate ruin, and no other objects. Could it have been a trick of the eye last time?
Before turning off the Eye of the Puppeteer skill, he gave Kubo another instruction to avoid pitfalls and large earth cracks, and so on.
Since the car could drive, he might as well let Kubo do the driving. He would check periodically, and there should be some new discoveries.
Then, ming walked home. His mental power was high at the moment, the controllable puppet distance was very far, and it wouldn't disconnect due to distance for a while.
After he got home, he checked Alia's panel. The second stage task of the God's Camp had been completed.
He gained a new skill:
[Meteor: Summon a large rock from a random location in the world to hit the target.]
And 25 free attribute points.
Ming didn't immediately help Alia use those attribute points. He planned to save them for later and distribute them all at once. After all, Alia wasn't necessarily in fights at the moment. He wanted to let Raoul do some work.
He checked the third stage task of the God's Camp:
[Third Stage: Kill 30 heretics. After completion, unlock the fourth stage task and advance to Angel.]
[Rewards:]
[1, 50 free attribute points.]
[2, 1 random talent of the profession.]
"Advance to Angel?"
ming looked at the content of the third stage task, then turned to look at Alia. This shouldn't have been the task when he met Alia when she strongly advocated for him to join.
So, the task that Alia had when she met him should be in the later stages, the fourth? The fifth?
So, before Alia met him, had she already killed 30 people?
Upon further thought, it didn't seem strange for a religious fanatic like her to kill 30 heretics.
Otherwise, how could she unlock the later-stage tasks?
"Do killing zombies count?"
ming touched his nose. After all, the task didn't specify what a heretic was.
Besides, the definition of a heretic should be someone with a different belief. Alia believes in God, while the zombies perhaps only believe in warm brains.
So, their beliefs are completely different.
"Come, kill it!"
Ming pulled a zombie from Puppet Space and pushed it in front of Alia.
"Ha-ha~"
Alia killed the zombie.
Ding~ Your puppet Alia killed a 3-star lord-level zombie, gaining 500 experience points.
[Kill Heretics: 1/30.]
"Ha~"
Ming chuckled. As expected, this task was quite simple. If there were similar tasks in the future, he could definitely repeat this method.
He was thinking, if he helped Ali complete all tasks and successfully advance to an Angel, would she really have a halo floating above her head?
Would she also grow a pair of wings?
"Shh~"
How was that different from a mutant?
So, God has been raising a group of mutants?
Regardless, ming was confident that he could train Alia to become the world's first zombie angel. And not just any zombie angel, a combat-type zombie angel.
