Wasteland for All: I Can Infinitely Upgrade My Vault

Zhong Li quickly browsed through the several transaction requests.

The first trade request was for a green-level enhanced weapon, the [Rage Rune Sword].

The second trade request was for a shelter building blueprint: [Warhound Training Camp].

The third trade request is for an item called [Evil Eye Mask].

The fourth trade request was for a skill book called "The Spear of Judgment".

Zhong Li immediately ruled out the second and third options without even thinking. The [Evil Eye Mask] was clearly related to strange and indescribable things, so Zhong Li kept his distance from it at the first opportunity.

As for the [War Dog Training Camp]? What the hell is that? Putting aside the fact that he doesn't know where he found so many wild dogs, even if there were enough war dogs, Zhong Li doesn't think that this thing has much combat power.

Zhong Li didn't believe in such idiotic statements as "one mastiff can take on three tigers, and three mastiffs can sink an aircraft carrier." No matter how sharp his mastiff's teeth were, could they still shatter plate armor? No matter how sharp its claws were, could they still be more lethal than a one-meter-long sword?

Therefore, Zhong Li also ruled out the first [Rage Rune Sword].

It wasn't Zhongli Xu; he was simply very self-aware. With his combat strength of 7 points plus 2 points of damage, he couldn't break through the defenses of many heavily armored units.

Hongluan, a heavily armored soldier, stood still, making it impossible for Zhongli to inflict any effective damage even with his attacks.

What's more, this thing requires charging in for close combat, which is far too dangerous.

Why did Zhongli choose the Church Knight class? Isn't it because he's tanky and can deal ranged damage?

So Zhongli waited for a while, and when no one made any new trade requests, he finally chose the skill book [Judgment Spear].

【Judgment Spear Lv1: The flames of judgment illuminate the darkness. The fire of judgment burns away evil. It is high noon! Consume 2 point of psionic energy to simultaneously attack up to 6 targets within a 50-meter radius. Guaranteed hit, and deals (2) times faith damage. Cooldown: 60 seconds.】 (Restricted to ranged weapon classes)

Zhongli's eyes lit up, and he decisively learned the skill; it was simply a divine skill.

Even if Zhongli only has 1 point of faith, he can still deal 12 points of holy damage instantly after activating this skill!

Holy damage can deal effective damage to even the most powerful opponents, such as a level 10 Khorne Minotaur.

I am no longer an invincible weakling.

When facing scavengers, who are relatively weak cannon fodder, Zhong Li might even be able to cripple six people at once.

Zhong Li was somewhat glad that he had chosen the Knight profession. After leveling up and adding some Faith Points, his combat power would be further enhanced.

Zhongli then asked Hongluan, "Is faith a special attribute? Can I allocate points to it myself?"

Hongluan glanced at him and said calmly, "Faith is a manifestation of your devotion to the gods; how could you possibly break through it on your own?"

"Can't a knight improve on their own?"

Hongluan's next answer surprised Zhongli: "Knights, ascetics, judges, penitents, nuns and other relatively special professions can improve their faith on their own, but at a high price, they have to exchange their sacrifices for the approval of the gods."

"Dedication?"

"Donate 3 attribute points to the gods to gain 1 point of faith."

What kind of hellish version of the Atonement Scroll is this?!

I have so many attribute points, why don't I strengthen myself? Why do I need this little bit of faith value from your god?

Were those knights and nuns who joined the church out of despair?

Huo Wu then spoke concisely, saying, "Therefore, the knights and nuns of the Holy See and the Inquisition are generally stronger than those outside, especially when they activate their spiritual energy and receive the blessing of faith."

Upon hearing this, Zhongli quickly realized that while breaking through faith was difficult, obtaining ordinary attributes should be relatively easier.

Since there are items like [Human Amber] that enhance life, there should be other items that boost combat power and defense. If all else fails, there are weapon runes and defense runes to choose from. A basic rune can increase attribute values ​​by 2 points.

Moreover, this attribute of dedication is not mandatory. It can be upgraded normally, but it provides an additional viable option when you need to increase your faith.

After thinking it through, Zhong Li suddenly felt that the knight profession was still quite appealing.

In a good mood, Zhongli then divided the extra 70 compressed biscuits into 7 groups and placed them in the trading module.

Each set costs 400 runes, or items of equivalent value.

Selling 10 compressed biscuits for 400 runes is undoubtedly a huge profit, but who can blame us when everyone is short of food?

Relying on traditional farming methods, one might starve to death without ever getting a bite to eat.

If they don't farm, they'll have no choice but to eat disgusting mutant meat.

Soon, Zhong Li's listing for "Basic Compressed Biscuits Type C" received all sorts of transaction requests, along with a barrage of insults!

The popularity of this transaction far exceeded Zhongli's expectations, surpassing even the previous two high-level items.

Even though the trading forum only had a total of a thousand people, there were more than ten thousand insults directed at Zhong Li.

The number of transaction requests and messages was simply overwhelming.

"Boss, boss! How come you have compressed biscuits? What's the point of me working so hard with slaves to farm? These are all the spoils I have left. Please, boss, give me a few biscuits. I've never known how bad it is to be hungry. [Trade Items: Mutated Insect Horns x15, Damaged Jacket x4, Rotting Zombie Claws x8]"

"Zhongli, are you a dog? Don't you have any compassion? Making a fortune off the apocalypse? 10 compressed biscuits, you're selling them for 400 runes? Are you crazy for money? You skinflint! [Trade Item: Unstable Dung Ball x1]"

"Handsome, I'm beautiful and have a sweet voice, I can be your partner. I'll keep you company at night and help you release your pent-up energy with my voice. How about it? Only 10 compressed biscuits! [Trading Item: 2 stained and torn stockings]"

"..." Zhong Li wiped his eyes, feeling as if his eyes had been contaminated. He was joking; with three stunning beauties around him, how could they possibly be tempted by mere looks?

I promptly enabled the blocking feature; items valued at less than 200 runes will not be displayed.

Then the whole world became quiet!

There were about twenty more transaction requests left. Zhong Li looked them over one by one and picked out two items that he was relatively satisfied with.

[Green Vine Purifying Serum Type II: A basic therapeutic agent produced by the Aoki Biological Research Institute. After injection, it can relieve mild poisoning that does not involve genes and restore 6 health points.]
