Is that all?
Waldo was taken aback, but Alanna nodded solemnly.
Clearly, this matter was important to her.
Waldo explained, "Mia is the person who previously sold me the information about the gold-level supply box. Remember when I told you today that I wanted to buy a special warrior sword blueprint? It's Mia who wants to make the trade."
Initially, I just wanted to negotiate the price, but I didn't expect her to show a video of me.
Of course, I couldn't let it leak, so I found a way to locate her and captured her, which led to her father.
Guess what happened next?
Alanna was engrossed in listening and urged Waldo to continue by poking his ribs.
"I won't make you guess. Well, it turns out Mia isn't afraid of zombie bites. I asked her about it and found out she had taken an antiviral serum. So, I made a deal with her father to exchange eight bottles of antiviral serum for his daughter after three days."
Upon hearing this, Alanna finally realized.
"Oh, I see. I thought Mia was a wildflower you picked up from outside, and it ruined my appetite for dinner tonight."
Waldo laughed heartily.
"You silly woman, why think about such things? You're enough for me at home. Why would I go looking for other flowers?"
However, Alanna shook her head and said seriously, "Waldo, in this apocalyptic world, I don't mind if you stray."
"It's strange, because in the past, I would never tolerate such behavior. But now, I only want you to have me in your heart and not abandon me."
Waldo was shocked.
He didn't expect Alanna to feel so insecure and simply hope that he wouldn't leave her.
"I won't allow you to think that way. I only want you," Waldo said emotionally.
Alanna chuckled lightly.
"Oh? What about the person you chat with all the time?"
Waldo quickly explained, "Alanna, don't misunderstand. Helen and I are just good friends."
Alanna extended a finger and gently tapped Waldo's lips, signaling him to stop.
Then she said tenderly, "Waldo, you don't need to explain to me. You just need to know that I love you very much and will always be by your side. I hope you won't disappoint me. That's enough."
Waldo embraced Alanna tightly.
"Alanna, I will always love you. You can rest assured of that."
Alanna was held tightly and peacefully closed her eyes.
"But you must keep your words," she murmured sleepily.
Waldo smiled faintly, kissed Alanna on the forehead, and the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next morning, Waldo took out the special warrior sword he had crafted using the materials he had recently purchased and carefully examined it.
Warrior Sword: Silver-level weapon (Special)
Attack Power: 15
Special Effect: Critical Strike (Deals an additional 30% damage to zombies and prevents the wounds caused by the warrior sword from healing.)
Waldo went to the zombie gathering point outside the villa area and randomly chose a lone unfortunate zombie to test the power of the critical strike sword.
He picked up a stone from the ground, extended his thumb, and squinted one eye to aim.
Then, he threw it with force.
Bam!
The stone hit the zombie's head accurately.
The zombie stared dumbfoundedly at Waldo, then growled lowly and ran towards him.
Waldo drew out the warrior sword and assumed a stance.
As the zombie approached, a flash of silver occurred.
The zombie's left arm was severed at the
The zombie's left arm was severed at the elbow, and the pain made the zombie howl. Waldo observed the zombie's wound and discovered that it hadn't healed, as expected, after being struck by the critical strike sword.
You see, zombies have strong regenerative abilities. Even if their limbs are severed, they quickly stop bleeding. However, the wound on this zombie's left arm continued to drip with the foul-smelling black blood of the undead, showing no signs of healing.
After verifying the power of the critical strike sword, Waldo decapitated the zombie with one swift strike and recorded the process as a video. Then, he began crafting the remaining critical strike swords.
[Sword Blueprint]
Iron Pieces: 50 units
Grinding Stone: 1 unit
Additional Effect: Critical Strike
Level: Silver
Remaining crafting attempts: 19
[Craft 19 swords?]
[Yes/No]
Waldo clicked on "Craft."
[Requires 950 units of iron pieces, 19 units of grinding stone. Materials verified. Crafting initiated.]
As the system prompt sounded, a "ding" echoed, and Waldo's backpack now contained nineteen critical strike swords. He kept ten for himself and listed the remaining ten on the trading platform.
Before long, many people started to take notice:
User 353346: I just saw ten swords on the trading platform. They come with a critical strike effect, dealing 30% extra damage to zombies and preventing their wounds from healing. I really like them, but they're quite expensive!
User 324346: I can afford them, but who knows if these critical strike swords are really as powerful as described? What if I buy them and they turn out to be not that useful? After all, it's a substantial amount of resources.
User 10010: Don't say I didn't warn you, but this is a product from User 10086. I don't think he can sell such good items. If he had good items, why wouldn't he keep them for himself?
User 355221: I bought one, and it seems pretty good. However, I haven't had a chance to test it in actual combat. I wonder how it performs.
User 10000: Stop talking if you haven't tested it! User 10086 is just trying to make a quick buck. What good items can he possibly have?
User 10086: Oh, it's you two again, trying to badmouth me, huh? Well, everyone, take a look at this video I recorded using the critical strike sword. (Attached video)
Waldo uploaded a video of him using the critical strike sword to take down a zombie. It clearly showed the state of the zombie after being struck and the attack power of the critical strike sword.
It was undoubtedly one of the most outstanding weapons among known melee weapons. After all, most of the melee weapons on the trading platform were just ordinary mass-produced items.
Once the video was out, the critical strike swords he listed quickly sold out. Rarity commands a higher price. Even though the price was relatively high, there were plenty of people willing to pay for it. It was just a matter of whether they were willing to part with their resources.
In the next moment, the chat channel was filled with the lamentations of the survivors who hesitated and failed to snatch a critical strike sword.
User 453543: Ahh! Didn't get a critical strike sword. So frustrating!
User 674567: User 10086, do you still have a critical strike sword? I'm willing to pay an even higher price than before!
User 563278: Yes, I want to buy one too. I've sent you a private message. Check your messages, User 10086!
User 10010: I can't believe you guys. It's just a lousy sword. What's the big deal?
User 10086: Unfortunately, I only have ten critical strike swords for sale. The blueprint for the sword has been damaged, so there won't be any more critical strike swords produced for now. They can be considered temporarily discontinued. We'll have to wait until the same blueprint becomes available again.
Amidst the wailing of the survivors who missed out on the critical strike swords, the chat channel suddenly erupted with astonishing news from the Sheriff team.
The entire survivor community was left in shock.
