"We have remained with only thirty minutes. Then this survival selections will be over." Lazy answered with a dull look. He seemed to be tired yet energetic at the same time.
"That is..." Master Chen was suddenly interjected by the system. Lazy Wafula also heard it clearly. The interface window appeared by itself without him willing it.
"Ding"
Quest [ Survive the infected encroachment in the remaining thirty minutes. Make sure that you don't die within these thirty minutes. After this, those remaining survivors will be deemed as the "awakened" and big rewards will be coming your way.]
[ For this "last fight to survive", I will be offering you guys free chances. What are these chances, these are the added buffs that will help you survive and for the first time, I am offering everyone three free revival chances on top of the health, energy and agility.]
"Status"
[ Name : Lazy Wafula ]
[ Exp : 0/100 ]
[ Energy : 80/ 100 ]
[State / Health : Normal ]
[ Agility : 80 + 5 ]
[Revival : 0/3 ]
[Strength : above average]
[ The Exp bar and energy bar will increase with each successful kill of the infected. The revival chances on the other hand will increase every time the exp bar is filled. Note that you have only three revival chances. When the three revival chances are used up and they turn to zero, even if you have a full Exp bar, you will no longer be revived if you die. ]
This was the latest notification that each surviver received and for the first time, they were given revival chances. Lazy knew that the system will not allow those who had survived until this moment to die miserably. It hopes that everyone will survive to see the next life, but also Lazy Wafula didn't think that things were as simple as they were. When the system rewards them with something, there was usually an added responsibility or the level of swink was then increased and this will usually lower the survival rate. This had made everyone to stop celebrating when the system offered them rewards because they knew that with the rewards, comes responsibility.
The system had also rewarded Lazy Wafula an addition of five in the agility bar.
"I think things are not going to be easy from now on. Something that can make this stingy system to reward us with revival chances is beyond our imaginations. We need to be prepared for what is going to come our way." Lazy Wafula said with a frown plastered on his face.
"This system is truly fu*king with our minds. I must survive until this motherfu*king Genesis comes to an end, may be after that I may freed myself from the clutches and slavery of this stupid system and Genesis." Master Chen was obstinate. He stretched his arms and legs by kicking and punching the air just to show his preparedness, but he can not help but feel his heart racing. He didn't knew if it was him being anxious or ecstatic to eventually end this sh*t called Genesis. Queen Nakhumicha just curled her lips as if looking down upon the "tactical" Master Chen.
"Even if a storm is brewing, let's go and meet those guys as we had planned earlier. I heard that Madam Ross still had that thing on her back and she never untied it since she got her hands on it." Lazy Wafula told Master Chen nonchalantly with a dull look.
"The stupid system sure is torturous. Some quests are just absurd. I really pity Madam Ross, she had been forced to carry that coffin til the end of Genesis. If it were me, I would have already freaked out. I don't know what is inside that coffin that the system doesn't want it to be destroyed. I am sure even Madam Ross herself doesn't know what she is carrying. The damn coffin is sealed tight... What if she is carrying some remains of someone. Well, I don't even want to think about it." Master Chen was all talkative incoherently.
When the thought of Madam Ross came to his mind, Master Chen then remembered about his quest that the system gave him. He willed his interface window and an intangible screen appeared in from of his eyes. You should know that this interface window was only visible to its holder and no other being which were not connected with the holder can see the system even if that person was a friend or a relative of the holder. Master Chen clicked the quest avatar which was still colour blue showing that the quest was still ongoing.
[ Survive together with the bloodsucking spider intact. If you kill it or get it killed, then you will have failed the quest.]
( Name : Blood sucking spider )
(Health : Normal )
Master Chen heaved a sigh when he saw the state of the spider. There was a vague image of the bloodsucking spider on his back shown on the screen. He had taken good care of the spider as if it was his own baby. This spider had become so chubby because he had allowed it to suck his blood for a long time. It had even dug on his skin becoming a part of it. If this spider was removed from his back right now, there would be a lesion left on that part of the skin from where it had been removed. That was how deep this spider had dug on his skin. Master Chen can not help but feel a chill every time he glanced at this spider. He had felt the urge of wanting to grasp the chubby thing and crush it in the palm of his hand but he held back every time when he thought about this Genesis thingy.
He had seen how desperate those who had failed their quest were, they died just the next moment they failed the quest, it didn't matter however strong they were. Actually, he also had to thank this spider because it was pushing him and giving him the will to finish the test because what was in his mind was just about the day when it would be decided that Genesis countdown had come to end. That was the time when he would grasp this thing and crush it so that he could feel the overwhelming rush of calming and fulfilling emotions after removing the parasite off him.
He had to live as he awaited that day, his already sucked blood could not just go to waste like that.
