My God-Level System Can Rebuild Civilization in the Apocalypse!

Chapter 64: Sharing Information

The destructive reputation of the Harbinger of Endless Misfortune was far more terrifying than almost any other title.

Anyone who had interacted with Ashfall found it difficult not to associate their own bad luck with him afterward.

As a result, Ashfall eventually became the only solo player whom no faction dared provoke recklessly.

He also became the universally accepted mediator and guarantor for player transactions.

No one dared break promises made in front of him.

Unless, of course, they had grown tired of living.

Once the owner of the Harbinger of Endless Misfortune trait learned how to actively use it, it became nothing less than a divine ability.

Looking at the bonuses granted by his newly obtained title, HighlyCultured could not help revealing a faint smile.

Although this title was not as valuable as the first kill title, it suited his current circumstances perfectly.

So in the end, the trip had not been without rewards.

There was no time to process the corpse.

HighlyCultured cast one final regretful glance toward the Lord Rank Boss before decisively taking the loot and leaving without hesitation.

Venturing outside during the rain was already extremely dangerous.

If he stayed behind to process the corpse as well, the chances of becoming infected would become far too high.

After being given a second chance at life, the greatest lesson he had learned was never to become greedy.

Because of that, he could only abandon the corpse where it lay.

These corpses would never despawn.

That also meant their bodies were not without value.

Very few players had realized this fact yet, but it would not take long before everyone discovered that not only NPCs required these materials, but player professions such as Alchemists, Pill Masters, Blacksmiths, and Artifact Forgers would also need Boss corpses for crafting and production.

Unfortunately, under his current circumstances, remaining in the rain for an extended period simply was not possible.

And by the time the rain stopped, the corpse would almost certainly have already been devoured by scavenging zombies like vultures.

There would be no opportunity to return later and recover it.

...

Joo Joowon glanced at the countdown timer for the marketplace opening.

There were still thirty minutes remaining.

The marketplace could not be used as an alarm clock.

It only displayed a countdown beginning thirty minutes before opening.

At all other times, no timer was shown at all.

Because of that, many people had probably already lost their sense of time completely.

He walked into the kitchen and prepared food for himself.

After spending more than ten minutes finishing the meal, he sat down to eat while taking out paper and a pen to jot down notes.

At the same time, he carefully considered which pieces of information he had discovered were worth releasing to the public and which could genuinely help ordinary players survive.

Although there was undoubtedly some desire for fame involved, Joo Joowon still hoped that the information he shared would not mislead anyone.

He wanted it to provide at least some form of assistance to the players who were still alive.

Even if that help was only a tiny drop in the ocean.

[ 1. Be careful of the rain outside! Do not let yourself get soaked by the rain! ]

[ 2. Chimera Zombies appear to possess the potential to become Bosses. If you do not want a Boss appearing near where you live, it is recommended to kill them as early as possible. Chimera Zombies are Zombies formed from the fusion of two different species of creatures. ]

[ 3. Elite Monsters and Bosses seem to always drop an item called a Zombie Core (sample size is still too small to confirm). The current function of Zombie Core remains unknown. It is speculated that they may be used for enchanting, or after special processing, may increase player attributes. ]

[ 4. If there are plants or animals in your home that have been exposed to rainwater, it is recommended to either throw them away or isolate them immediately. ]

[ 5. Bosses are different from ordinary Zombies. They cannot be killed instantly by simply attacking their vital points. Their health pools are extremely thick, and they must be worn down completely before they die. ]

[ 6. Lord Rank Bosses do not remain inside their territory forever. They will not automatically return after leaving a certain range. They are capable of actively hunting and attacking players on their own! ]

[ 7. These are all the discoveries I have made so far. Additional information and corrections are welcome. Also, I do not recommend fighting high level Zombies alone. The risks are simply too great. It is best to work as a team. ]

[ Comments ]:

[ @FrontRowPopcorn ]: First row seats for the legend!

[ @StillLevelOne ]: This is way too insane. Are we even playing the same game? How is someone already killing Bosses on Day Three? I’m still Level 1 and Level 2 feels impossibly far away.

[ @ExpProtectorsAssociation ]: Hah. "Not recommended to go alone?" Didn’t you go alone yourself? Are you trying to trick everyone into splitting experience so you can keep your lead forever?

[ @HealthBarHunter ]: Boss Ashfall, can you actually see Boss health bars? How are you judging their health? These monsters don’t even have visible HP bars!

[ @WetSockSurvivor ]: Wait, what?! The rain is dangerous? I already got caught in the rain today. What’s going to happen to me?!

[ @HumanUmbrellaFailure ]: Same here! I got rained on too! Can Boss Ashfall explain what kind of problems it causes?

[ @ConspiracyTheoryLv99 ]: This is obviously Ashfall’s conspiracy. "Rain is dangerous?" The goal is obviously to stop everyone from going outside and leveling up so he can maintain his advantage. I’ve said it before. How could an ordinary person possibly know this much? Ashfall must be one of the game’s official insiders!

Joo Joowon glanced through the chaotic comment section for a few moments before directly heading to the backend settings and blacklisting every player who had been chasing after him in private messages just to hurl insults.

To be honest, Joo Joowon did not particularly care about other people’s conspiracy theories.
