Wasteland for All: I Can Infinitely Upgrade My Vault

Upon hearing Zhongli's words, everyone in front of them looked at him intently, and a sense of hope shone in their eyes.

No one wants to die if they can survive. Especially a beautiful young girl, who would rather not be corrupted into a hideous, foul-smelling monster.

The thought of her soft, fragrant body turning into a hideous monster made Liu Lu feel suffocated. So, disregarding the fact that she was accidentally exposed, she stepped forward and grabbed Zhong Li's right arm, shaking it and saying in a sickeningly sweet voice, "Manager~ you have to save me. I don't want to become an ugly monster that everyone despises."

The soft touch from his arm made Zhongli's mind wander, and his nose felt hot.

He immediately pulled up Liulu's collar, forced himself to calm down, and said in the most determined tone, "I will definitely save you, and I have already thought of several plans."

Zhongli looked at Hongluan and asked, "Besides the [Blood Orchid], are there any other drops? Give them all to Liulu."

Durian's eyes widened in surprise: "Give them all to me? What if I can't save them? Wouldn't it all be a waste?"

Hongluan handed the remaining two portions of [Bloody Pineal Cortex] and three portions of [Human Amber] to Liulu, saying, "Only this will strengthen our resolve. We will definitely save you! We definitely will!"

Durian looked down at the three precious items in her hands, tears welling up in her eyes, but a genuine smile bloomed on her face: "Our monastery wasn't like this before, was it? Cold-blooded and ruthless was the style of the warband."

Huo Wu remained expressionless, unsure how to respond.

Ye Wei smiled and said, "We are no longer in the monastery; the refuge is a new beginning for all of us."

Zhong Li had already taken action; he was neither lying to Liu Lu nor deliberately trying to comfort her.

Zhong Li had indeed come up with several plans to save the durian heron, and he was very confident in his success.

The first step is to strengthen her using the [Wildfire] system.

The 5000 victory points were originally intended for Hongluan, but since Hongluan has already reached the champion level, the number of victory points she needs has increased to a full 10000.

Even without the incident involving Durian, Zhongli wouldn't have spent a full 10000 victory points to enhance her.

Zhongli had more important arrangements to make, so he said, "Go and bring over all the collapsed crystal keys and the contained red erosion bubbles."

While Hongluan went to retrieve the Red Corrosion Liquid Bubble, Zhongli decisively used the 5000 victory points he originally intended to use on Liulu.

[Ding! First upgrade of [Elite Soldier - Red Dragon Knight] costs 5000 Victory Points. Confirm?]

【Sure!】

[Ding! The Elite Soldier - Red Dragon Knight - Durian Heron has been successfully upgraded, obtaining the Champion-level template.]

A powerful [Evolution Factor] ability enveloped the entire body of the Durian Heron, and the dazzling golden tree veins appeared on her chest. The already considerable expanse of white skin now shone even brighter!

Evolutionary factors shone continuously, and golden light bathed her entire body, cleansing her bloodline time and time again.

After the intense golden light, the cuckoo's body became even more slender, and it grew at least 3 centimeters taller.

What was once able to cover the front of her clothes is now barely enough, and the exposed area of ​​her fair skin is simply breathtaking.

This girl is not only the most talkative in the area, but also has the most voluptuous figure. As the saying goes, "If a woman can't see her toes when she lowers her head, she is already an absolute beauty."

The key point is that her waist is exceptionally slender, like a delicate branch bearing a large fruit!

Liu Lu didn't have time to pay attention to the changes in her body or care about the exposure. She immediately lowered her head and straightened her chest to check if there were still scarlet blood vessels corroding near her collarbone.

After her figure became even more voluptuous, her original shirt, which was already too small, popped open two buttons on her chest during the violent movement.

A sudden aftershock struck, its bright light sending shivers down one's spine.

However, no one had time to pay attention to this breathtaking view; the crimson corrosion below her collarbone was already a shocking sight.

Liu Lu bit her lower lip hard, remained silent for a moment, and then a resolute look flashed in her eyes: "Manager, if I cannot eliminate the corruption, I will repay you for all your efforts, even if it costs me my life."

The girl was already so pessimistic, so Zhongli couldn't show any panic. Faced with Liulu's resolute attitude, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is within my expectations. I've mentioned several treatment options for you. Perhaps, the Holy Maiden's problem can be greatly alleviated as well."

The crimson creatures have been eliminated, and the moonlight on the saintess has disappeared. Zhong Li did not ask how much longer the saintess could hold on.

But he was very clear that this matter had to be resolved.

He didn't say anything before because he didn't want this enormous pressure to weigh on everyone's hearts, causing them to feel suffocated and desperate.

Aside from his divine blessing ability, no one else has any solution. Speaking of it would only add to their worries, so it's better to let them not think about anything for now and enjoy a moment of relaxation and peace after the battle.

Hearing Zhong Li's words, Ye Wei met his gaze with a gentle smile and asked, "My lord, what do you intend to do?"

Zhongli took the Collapse Crystal Key from Hongluan first, and then the [Wildfire] system was activated.

[Ding! First upgrade of [Item: Collapse Key] costs 100 Victory Points. Confirm?]

【Sure!】

[Ding! The item "Collapse Crystal Key" has been successfully enhanced, gaining the trait "Moonlight Chill": Once a Red-Eroded item is contained, its activity will be imprisoned; the level of the contained Red-Eroded item increases by 1.]

After examining the new Collapsed Key, Huo Wu stared intently at Zhu Que and said, "Perhaps the Crimson Core will be imprisoned by us this time! Research into the Crimson Core may now be possible!"

Zhuque nodded emphatically, her beautiful eyes shining brighter than ever before!

The future of combating the Crimson Corruption was shrouded in uncertainty, primarily due to the lack of progress in research on the Crimson Power.

Once humanity can grasp and understand the origin of the Crimson Power, there may be hope of winning the battle in the future!

But Zhongli didn't care about this grand destiny and blueprint at all. All he wanted now was to save the girl whose eyes were full of hope and who was looking up at him.

[Ding! The second upgrade of the [Item: Collapse Key] has consumed 500 Victory Points. Confirm?]

【Sure!】

[Ding! The item "Collapse Crystal Key" has been successfully enhanced. Its attributes have changed, and it has been upgraded to "Special Item - Logrit".]

[Logrit: The official name for lunar soil. The starry sky is endless, and so is our desire for it! Before the crimson erosion corrupts every piece of lunar soil, its desire is destined to be unable to expand. And vice versa! Logrit will purify every piece of crimson corruption.]

Zhong Li finally smiled and looked at Liu Lu, asking, "Have you ever seen snow?"

"Oh? I've seen you before, what's wrong?" Liu Lu raised her head and looked up at Zhong Li with curiosity.

"If you put snow in boiling water, it will keep melting itself, absorbing heat. The water will never boil until the last snowflake has melted, no matter how strong the fire underneath is."

After a pause, Zhongli solemnly said, "The same goes for lunar soil! Red erosion is boiling fire, while lunar soil is like heat-absorbing snowflakes."

As he spoke, Zhong Li fastened the [Logrit], which shone with a cool blue light, around the neck of the cuckoo.

Three seconds later, an irrepressible joyful voice rang out like a silver bell. Liu Lu excitedly hugged Zhong Li and jumped for joy: "Great! Great! Manager, my Red Erosion has been dispelled!"

[Ding! The Refuge Soldier - Red Dragon Knight - Durian Heron has successfully dispelled the Red Erosion, gaining the special blessing - Retribution Protection: Special Protection +1, Special Protection generates a force field shield of x2, and inflicts a [Taunt] effect on Red Erosion creatures, causing them to prioritize attacking this unit.]

Indeed, so-called blessings are nothing more than mortals hoping for a glimpse from the gods.
