Congratulations to the host for opening the newbie gift pack. Personal panel activated.
Congratulations to the host for receiving: 1 Maid Combat Outfit, 10 points, 3 shop draws, and 1 small apocalypse supply pack.
A total of four items.
The golden light emanated from a small backpack.
Overall, the backpack was shiny gold and quite gaudy!
As for the maid combat outfit, it looked no different from an ordinary maid outfit.
However, when Born moved his gaze to the maid combat outfit, a line of text appeared again.
Maid Combat Outfit: Wearing it increases defense by 1 and stamina by 1. Note: Wearing it grants the "Maid" trait.
Born felt like this was similar to game equipment, though he didn't yet understand the trait.
Previously, the recruitment failed due to insufficient points.
Born checked, and suddenly, a virtual panel popped up.
Born: Commander
- Defense: 0.8
- Stamina: 1.1
- Spirit: 1
- Note: The reference attribute for an average adult body is 1.
- Recruitment Level: 1 (Recruitment Points: 10, Recruitment Capacity: 10)
This must be the personal panel. Born was quite satisfied with his stamina attribute.
He had exercised regularly in college, with a well-defined eight-pack abs, though after three months of slacking off, those abs were gone!
Otherwise, the stamina value would have been even higher.
Of the three attributes, defense obviously referred to body strength, stamina affected strength, speed, and endurance.
As for spirit, he still didn't understand it yet.
With enough points, he decided to try recruiting.
The zombie stuck in the door was ugly, but from the clothing, it was at least female.
When he moved his gaze to the zombie, a line of text appeared again.
Laura: Dancer, flexible body, capable of large combat movements, worth recruiting!
Damn!
Born didn't expect this zombie to be Laura.
She was his neighbor, living at the end of the hall on this floor.
Born had seen Laura a few times. She wasn't a stunning beauty, but she had a nice presence, tall and with long legs that could captivate anyone for a year.
"Recruit!"
Without hesitation, he initiated the recruitment. The ability to perform large combat movements was secondary; primarily, he was kind-hearted and wanted to save her.
He was a bit anxious, as this zombie was dead after all.
Recruitment in progress. Death time less than 30 minutes. Recruitment possible. Clearing zombie toxins, restoring consciousness...
White streams of light enveloped Laura completely.
Soon, a whimpering sound was heard.
Born looked down to see that Laura's appearance had mostly returned to normal, but her lower jaw was still missing, preventing her from making any sound.
The system's recruitment would turn zombies back into humans, but to truly heal injuries and enhance abilities, he needed to spend more points.
Furthermore, the recruitment targets weren't limited to zombies; it could be used on humans as well, though there was a chance of failure. Once recruited, loyalty was guaranteed.
"Laura, you can understand me, right?"
"If you understand, respond to me..."
Laura: ?
Quickly, Laura retracted her head and softly knocked on the door from outside.
"Laura, if there are no zombies outside, knock once. If there are zombies, run away."
As soon as Born finished speaking, there was a single knock on the door.
Born realized he had been foolish; Laura had already returned to being human. If there were zombies, there would be immediate chaos outside.
He opened the door immediately.
But just then, three zombies appeared at the end of the corridor, shambling towards them.
Upon seeing Born and Laura, they sped up and charged, growling.
Born wanted to test Laura's abilities.
He handed her the maid outfit and asked her to put it on.
Laura, understanding the urgency, quickly put on the maid outfit.
By this time, the three zombies were already very close to them.
Laura took the broomstick Born handed her and visibly paused for half a second before charging out.
Born nodded silently.
Her obedience was impressive, no doubt due to the 100% loyalty. Next, he needed to see her combat ability!
Born watched.
He saw Laura jump, performing a split mid-air, her legs forming a straight line before landing heavily.
The heel of her high-heeled shoe instantly pierced a zombie's eye socket.
As the other two zombies closed in, Laura twisted her body, using the momentum to sweep them away with a powerful kick.
The two zombies fell to the ground, and before they could get up, Laura finished them off with the broomstick.
Born was stunned!
The maid combat outfit boosted some attributes, but Laura's innate combat skills were undeniable.
Laura returned, placing her hands on her waist and bowing slightly.
As for the broomstick, it was nowhere to be seen.
Born quickly brought Laura back into the room for a closer look.
The panel appeared again.
Laura: Maid
- When the host has three maids, maid combat power increases by 20%. With five, base attributes increase by 100%. With seven, the host will be very happy.
- Dancer: Flexibility +3. Having three dancers increases flexibility by +2, five by +5, and with seven, unlocks more positions.
Damn!
Born understood now that the so-called traits were like synergy effects in auto chess games.
Synergy effects influencing the host?
This system really understood the host well.
Born stroked his chin in thought; there were indeed three or four small-time internet dancers in the building, enough to form a set of synergies.
As he was contemplating, Laura moved to Born's side, slowly knelt down, lifted his foot onto her long legs, and gently massaged it.
Her technique made Born's thoughts flow more freely.
Yes, he definitely needed to complete a full set of synergies.
With 4 points left, which were not enough for recruitment, Born decided to help Laura recover.
He navigated to the legion interface, pulled up Laura's profile, and clicked on restore.
A ball of white light enveloped Laura once again, and soon, her missing lower jaw visibly began to regenerate.
Fully restored, Laura looked much prettier, no longer as terrifying as before.
"Master, are you satisfied with Laura's service?" Laura suddenly spoke, her tone carrying a hint of eagerness.
Born, unable to resist, howled with laughter, "Any other services?"
"Yes, yes, please enjoy to your heart's content!" Laura stood up and leaned into Born.
Damn it!
Who could resist this? Born was a young, vigorous man!
But just then, the sound of howling came from outside, accompanied by chaotic footsteps.
"Help, help!"
"Is anyone there?"
"They've gone mad, they're all crazy!"
No sooner had the words been spoken than there was a bang on Born's door.
