The Walking Dead: I Sell Arms as a Sixth-Rate Seller in the Apocalypse

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing mission 3: "Rescue Rick Grimes trapped in the tank"]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the advanced mission: "Use any weapon on the tank to kill a zombie."]

[Ding! The "Simple Trading System Points Redemption Function" reward for Task 3 has been unlocked!]

[Ding! Advanced Quest Reward: "Personal Space System is now bound to the host!"]

"System, system, what is a portable space system?"

[Ding! A question has been detected from the host. This system will immediately enter the Q&A mode.]

"System Gou, please answer this question quickly."

[Ding! The portable space system is different from ordinary portable spaces. This portable space has a higher level of access. The host can upgrade the portable space to unlock more functions!]

"System Gou, stop keeping me in suspense! Can you just say it all at once? You're driving me crazy!"

[Ding! Host, don't worry, let this system explain slowly. An ordinary personal space is just a storage space, similar to a spatial ring. But a personal space system is much more advanced, with functions such as time-stop protection, accelerated growth, space expansion, and biological storage. As long as you continue to complete tasks, these functions will be unlocked.]

"So here's the question: if the personal space system is developed to its highest level, can I build a house inside it, and not only can I go in, but the creatures I choose can also go in?"

[Ding! Yes, host. As long as you continue to complete the missions, the personal space system will eventually upgrade to what you described.]

Hearing this, Rick was quite satisfied with the portable space system. After all, he would collect more and more things in the future, including girls. Rather than letting them suffer in the wind and rain, it would be better for them to travel with him anytime, anywhere.

Thinking of this, Rick opened the points redemption system page, only to see his points column display "-20 points" and he was speechless. Then he saw that the universal recycling function was grayed out and not unlocked, so Rick asked the system again.

"System, system, why is the universal recycling function grayed out? It tells me it's not unlocked, what's going on?"

[Ding! The Universal Recycling System requires the host to complete a team-level series of missions to unlock.]

"Huh? What mission?"

[Ding! The following task has been issued after detecting the host's intention.]

Rick was stunned by the series of tasks the system had issued, but he was secretly delighted when he saw the rewards for completing them. Many of the items here would be useful in the apocalypse, especially the virus suppression vaccine. With this, as long as he got vaccinated within the specified time, even if he was bitten, he could delay turning into a zombie. He could even sell it to various shelters to earn a lot of dollars. He could even turn some shelters into his tools, specifically to collect what he needed. This kind of sure-fire business was perfect.

Rick grinned lewdly at the thought, then quickly pulled Grimes back to the bookstore near the crossroads.

The two then went up to the second floor. Marvin came out to greet them when he saw them come up. When Marvin saw the face of the man in police uniform next to Rick, he was surprised and exclaimed, "Huh? You're Sheriff Rick Grimes!"

Upon hearing Marvin's words, Grimes didn't recognize him and replied, "Huh? It's me. You know me?"

Marvin: "Sheriff Grimes, my name is Marvin Foster, a newly appointed first-class police officer. I was an intern at the Atlanta Police Department before, and I was transferred to the King County Police Department a week before the apocalypse. It's normal that you haven't met me before, but I often hear your colleague, Officer Sean Welsh, tell me your story."

Grimes' eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately grabbed Marvin's shoulders with both hands, saying, "You know Sean too? Where is he? Tell me quickly, is he alright?"

Marvin's eyes dimmed upon hearing this, and he lowered his head to stare at the ground.

When Grimes saw Marvin's state, he immediately had a bad feeling, so he released his grip on Marvin's shoulders and said nothing more.

Seeing Grimes's condition, Marvin then said, "Officer Sean is missing. During the time you were hospitalized and in a coma, I worked as a trainee officer under Officer Sean's guidance until after the apocalypse, when the Kings County Police Department was severely understaffed. It was on Officer Sean's recommendation that I was promoted to Constable."

Hearing this, Grimes's gaze towards Marvin became serious, and he asked, "Then can you tell me what happened while I was unconscious?"

Marvin: "In the first few days after the apocalypse, the police station received numerous reports of riots and missing persons every day. Officer Sean and I were incredibly busy, dealing with these kinds of cases daily. Then, on the day the zombie virus outbreak occurred, the streets were like hell. Cannibalism was everywhere, there were burning cars, vandalized shops, and the air was thick with the stench of blood. When Officer Sean and I saw this scene at the police station, we knew King County was doomed. He then told me to get in the police car and wait for him on King County State Highway. He said he was going to pick you up from the hospital, and also Lori and Carl..."

Upon hearing about Lori and Carl, Grimes couldn't contain himself any longer. He grabbed Marvin's shoulders again and asked anxiously, "You mean Lori and Carl? How are they now? Where are my wife and children? Where is Sean?"

Seeing Grimes's anxiety, Rick placed a hand on Grimes's shoulder and comforted him, "Hey, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush, let Marvin finish what he has to say before you panic."

Upon hearing this, Grimes lowered his hands again and said to Marvin, "I'm sorry, I was too hasty. Please continue."

Marvin: "After packing my things, I drove through hellish streets. Many people saw me in a police car and uniform and cried for help, but I knew I couldn't change anything. I abandoned those who asked for help, watching them being devoured by zombies in my rearview mirror. Eventually, I drove to a state highway, but I waited there all day without seeing Officer Sean. Meanwhile, more zombies were leaving King County and heading towards the highway where I was. So I drove to Atlanta, thinking that the National Guard there would be much better, but the situation there was even worse than in King County. I almost died at the hands of zombies in the city..."

Grimes couldn't bear to listen any longer. He felt like the sky was falling. The strong man turned into a tearful woman, pacing back and forth in the room with swollen eyes. Marvin, who saw this, didn't say anything and stood silently to the side.

Rick patted Marvin on the shoulder and said, "Marvin, take it easy. It wasn't your fault that everything happened there. You did a great job. You did your best."

Marvin nodded upon hearing Rick's words, then remained silent.

Rick walked to the window and looked down. He saw two 24-hour ATMs across the street. Rick went to the back door of the bookstore, then into the carriage, took out a demolition sledgehammer, and went to the two ATMs. He swung the sledgehammer and started smashing down, muttering as he did so: "Eighty! Eighty! Eighty!" The rhythmic banging echoed through the street.

Through Rick's relentless efforts, the first ATM was smashed to pieces. Rick found a box containing US dollars in the wreckage, opened it, and saw a large bundle of dollars. Without counting, Rick immediately activated the points redemption function and exchanged all the dollars for points. After doing this, Rick performed the same operation on the other ATM, except this one had fewer dollars. After redeeming the dollars, Rick opened the system shop and saw his haul: a total of 61.1 points from the two ATMs. After deducting the 20 points he had previously overdrawn, he now had 41.1 points.

Seeing the large number of points he had earned, Rick immediately took out the M14Crazy Horse and its dedicated full-equipment upgrade voucher from his inventory. He then entered the voucher into the system. After the successful entry sounded, Rick opened the system shop, found the M14Crazy Horse full-equipment upgrade voucher, and redeemed it for 5 points. He then used it on his M14Crazy Horse. In the Escape from Kentucky weapon customization interface, Rick, following his usual gaming habits, added a grip, bipod, suppressor, a high-magnification scope and red dot sight, a 50-round drum magazine, and a combination of infrared and searchlight components to the M14Crazy Horse. The customization was then complete. Rick looked at his modified, modern M14Crazy Horse with great satisfaction and then called the system to enter the upgrade information.

Once the entry was successful, the redemption points for this fully modified M14 Crazy Horse increased from 10 points to 15 points.

Without a second thought, Rick redeemed two guns directly from the system store. After the system deducted the payment, Rick's points changed from 41.1 to 6.1. At this time, he had two brand-new M14 Crazy Horses in his space. After materializing the two M14 Crazy Horses from his space, Rick carried the two guns back to the second floor of the bookstore.
