Looking at the Physical Enhancement Potion that had appeared in his hand out of nowhere, Xu Zhengyang did not hesitate and downed it in one go.
After drinking the potion, Xu Zhengyang's physical attribute had reached 3.7 points! Thanks to the gym's building effect, Xu Zhengyang had been consistently working out in the shelter these past few days.
Now, with the help of the Physical Enhancement Potion, Xu Zhengyang's muscles had become as powerful as Bruce Lee's in an extremely short time, and they were filled with aesthetic appeal!
If one were to describe Xu Zhengyang in four words right now, it would be "imposing and striking"! "Fantastic!"
Xu Zhengyang stood in front of the mirror, admiring himself for a while before opening the task list to check the latest main quest:
[Main Quest: Assault (In Progress)]
[In the apocalypse, it is inevitable to encounter enemies hiding behind solid fortifications. To successfully defeat such enemies, you need to prepare large-scale lethal weapons that can strike enemies 300 meters away in advance.]
[Task Objective: Collect/Manufacture 10 large-scale lethal weapons that can strike enemies 300 meters away.]
[Task Reward: Strength Enhancement Potion Type II]
Upon seeing the details of the new task, Xu Zhengyang's mind began to race.
Although this task belonged to the type that was easier to complete in the apocalypse than now, it was still not impossible to accomplish.
In the apocalypse, Xu Zhengyang might only need to take some supplies stored in the shelter and find a gathering point with mortars or rocket launchers to exchange for a mortar and a rocket launcher.
Then he would just need to trade for some corresponding ammunition.
But now...
After thinking for a moment, Xu Zhengyang suddenly had a bright idea, recalling a video he had seen on Bilibili about the Russia-Ukraine war.
"No mortars, but I can use drones!
And these can be personally operated, self-tracking long-range lethal weapons!" Xu Zhengyang exclaimed excitedly! Today's drones, whether in terms of flight speed or payload capacity, were astonishingly powerful!
Even the civilian versions of agricultural drones could carry sixty kilograms of pesticides and fly for at least twenty minutes! After realizing this,
Xu Zhengyang immediately went to his computer and searched the official website of Dajiang for various drone models and specifications.
After a moment,
Xu Zhengyang compared the options and finally focused on a drone that could fly at about 60 km/h and had a payload of 20 pounds, flying for 25 minutes.
"This one it is!"
Xu Zhengyang said, and immediately ordered one hundred units!
*After securing the main quest,
Xu Zhengyang was about to head to the gym to test how much weight he could lift after using the Physical Enhancement Potion Type II when he received a call from Chen Yong, who he hadn't contacted in a long time. "Ah Zheng, where are you now?"
"I'm busy at the lumber factory," Xu Zhengyang replied.
Chen Yong said directly, "Check your WeChat.
I have a friend in the south who brought over a very strange item looking for a buyer, but I don't know if your boss is interested."
"Okay."
Xu Zhengyang agreed, and after hanging up, he opened his WeChat.
In the short video that Chen Yong sent him,
there was a one-meter-square fish tank containing a very peculiar-looking carp.
The carp was about fifteen centimeters long.
But on its head, there was a two-centimeter diameter bead that occasionally flickered with a blood-red glow.
"This..."
Xu Zhengyang hesitated. If this fish was born looking like this, it must have collectible value.
But now that the apocalypse was approaching, Xu Zhengyang had little interest in collecting.
Just as Xu Zhengyang was about to refuse, Chen Yong said, "My friend lives by the coast.
A while ago, there was that incident with the blood-red sky, right? He said he caught this fish in the river during that time."
After hearing Chen Yong's words,
Xu Zhengyang immediately said without hesitation, "Uncle Chen, help me buy this fish, no matter the price, just get it!
I'll come over right away!"
"Okay."
After Chen Yong hung up, he began to haggle with his friend.
*An hour later,
Xu Zhengyang drove to Chen Yong's company.
As soon as he entered,
Chen Yong pulled Xu Zhengyang into his office, looking pained as he asked, "After haggling for a long time, I ended up spending 680,000.
I was going to call you, but I couldn't get through, and that person was in a hurry to leave, so I just bought it.
Spending so much money...
Your boss won't be angry, right?"
"No, he won't."
Xu Zhengyang smiled and said, "My boss loves these strange items. Uncle Chen, please give me the transfer receipt later.
I'll settle the payment with you first, and then I'll ask my boss for the money when I get back."
"That's good, that's good."
Chen Yong said, leading Xu Zhengyang to the side of the fish tank.
As Xu Zhengyang used Detection on the strange fish, lines of information that only he could see appeared before his eyes: [Mutated Blood Fish] (Enhanced Food)
[Effect: After consumption, it can permanently increase physical attributes by 1-2 points.]
(Note: The Mutated Blood Fish is only effective for carbon-based life forms with physical attributes below 5 points.)
It could actually permanently increase physical attributes! After reading the attributes of the Mutated Blood Fish, Xu Zhengyang's eyes nearly popped out! After a moment,
Xu Zhengyang calmed his excited heart and said to Chen Yong, "Uncle Chen, find me a sturdy bucket to put this fish in.
My car's trunk is small, and I can't fit this fish tank."
"That's a small matter."
Chen Yong said, instructing his subordinates to bring over a clean iron bucket, helping Xu Zhengyang transfer the Mutated Blood Fish into the bucket.
With the Mutated Blood Fish in hand,
Xu Zhengyang transferred the money to Chen Yong, chatted with him for a bit, and then eagerly drove back to the shelter.
*An hour later,
after Xu Zhengyang stewed the Mutated Blood Fish into a pot of fish soup, he couldn't wait to gulp it all down, not even leaving any soup behind!
[You have consumed the Mutated Blood Fish]
[Your physical attribute has permanently increased by 1.3]
[Attribute Awakening Task: Physical (In Progress)]
[Your physical attribute has surpassed 5 points, a realm that ordinary humans can never reach in their lifetime.
Next,
you need to collect enough food and water to supplement the various nutrients required for awakening.]
[Task Objective: 10Kg of Carbohydrates, 10Kg of Protein, 10L of Purified Water]
[Task Reward: Super Immunity]
(Note: Challenge tasks must be completed within the shelter!)
After reading the task details,
Xu Zhengyang was so excited to see that the reward for the physical awakening task was "Super Immunity" that his breathing became rapid! Just a few days ago,
Xu Zhengyang was still worried about what to do if he unfortunately contracted the Zombie virus.
But now,
as long as Xu Zhengyang could successfully complete the physical awakening task and gain Super Immunity, everything would be fine!
