Wasteland for All: I Can Infinitely Upgrade My Vault

Hongluan dragged the 14 mutant corpses to Zhongli's front, and Zhongli began his happy life as a garbage collector right there.

Zhong Li was the first to find the mutant leader's body and searched his remains.

[Ding, you have searched the body of a mutant]

[Ding! You have obtained 1 piece of damaged patched leather armor]

[Ding, obtained material: Sharp Bio-Bone x5]

[Ding, obtained 3 living blood vessels]

[Ding! Obtained 1 Beginner Wasteland Relic]

[Ding! You have obtained the Beginner Job Change Book "Wasteland Investigator" x1]

[Ding! You have obtained 8 Runes]

After looking at the spoils, Zhong Li felt a chill run down his spine; it was incredibly unsettling.

What exactly has happened to this world? Even indescribable and bizarre things like "living blood vessels" have appeared.

[Living Vein: A dark, twisted, blood-red vein, a bizarre entity born from a deep, malevolent abyss, brimming with incredible vitality, sending chills down one's spine. Certain evil beings may find this item extremely interesting.]

Zhong Li felt his rationality plummet after just one glance, and decisively tossed the item into his private space. He would never touch anything evil in his life. If the blood vessels could be severed to draw blood, great; if not, he'd just get rid of them all. Let whoever wants to deal with those weird things go; he was determined to stay out of it.

Then Zhong Li looked at the "Wasteland Investigator" job change document.

Wasteland Investigators: Wasteland Investigators are a group of brave and resourceful explorers who search for clues, solve mysteries, and uncover forgotten secrets in the wasteland. With their familiarity with wasteland technology and ecology, Wasteland Investigators possess extensive knowledge and keen insight. Movement +1, Courage +1, +20% chance of finding usable items in monster camps, and obtains one Basic Steel Arm and one Primitive Metal Boomerang.

Zhong Li did some research and found that everyone could use this job change scroll. The next step was to change jobs to [Wasteland Hunter], [Papal Missionary], or [Corporate Special Agent].

Zhongli decided not to give it to Wu for now, but to give it to the weak point. After all, isn't it better to get two pieces of equipment for free?

Moreover, this little guy with the shortcoming is quite clever and well-suited for this profession.

Finally, Zhongli took a look at this: [Basic Wasteland Relic: Relics are the imprint of life, the wisdom of survival. Every unit that successfully survives in the wasteland will create its own relic upon death. Using it will grant 10-30 experience points].

Zhong Li decisively used it. He had experienced two battles and gained 23/43 battlefield experience points respectively. Then he killed two scavengers and gained 10/15 experience points. Now he has a total of 91 experience points.

Reaching level 2 requires 100 experience points. With this [Beginner Wasteland Relic], Zhong Li can just reach level 2.

[Ding! Used a basic wasteland relic, gained 20 experience points]

Experience points can not only be used to level up, but also to improve skill proficiency.

Since Zhongli doesn't have any skills yet, he decisively invested 100 experience points into leveling up.

[Ding! Congratulations on your level increase! Current level: lv2]

[Ding! You have gained 3 attribute points]

After considering his three attribute points, Zhongli decided to invest them all in defense. With the buff from [Vengeful Flames], Hongluan wouldn't lack his damage output. As long as he could survive and avoid being killed by stray bullets, he could win without any effort.

With Hongluan's incredibly beautiful legs, there's nothing shameful about becoming her leg accessory and clinging to her thighs!

Hongluan glanced at Zhongli, offering no comment, and quickly helped him clear out the remaining spoils.

The loot obtained was very plentiful, including: [13 Damaged Patchwork Leather Armor]

[Sharp Bio-engineered Bone x63]

[Living blood vessels x25]

【Crimson Yellow Eyes x12】

[15 dirty bandages]

[Venom Spore Plasma x3]

[Torch x6]

[Flashlights with poor contact x4]

[5 crude metal evil god statues]

[Wrapped in raw animal leather x3]

[Basic Wasteland Relics x2]

[Human Amber x1]

Although the variety of items is not as extensive as that of scavengers, the quality of these items is far superior.

Especially the final one: [Human Amber: Also known as Wasteland Tears, it is formed from the blood of mutated life forms congealed in a polluted environment. It represents both darkness and endless hope. In the dark wilderness and desolate ruins, it attracts countless brave souls to trek and search for these precious amber pieces, seeking survival and the hope of rebuilding a new world. +1 HP upon use]

This effect was incredibly powerful and swift, directly boosting the health bar and adding 1 point of health. Zhongli decisively used it on Hongluan to enhance her combat abilities. After all, there was an even more terrifying ratman dungeon waiting for Hongluan to clear, so she needed to strengthen her combat power.

After clearing out the spoils, Zhongli and Hongluan each dragged a corpse back to the shelter. They switched shifts with Wu and Shitou, rested at the shelter, and then carried the remaining corpses back in trip after trip.

The blood pool beneath Ye Wei's feet seemed to have become a bottomless pit; no matter how much blood she poured in, it could not be filled even with her feet immersed in it.

Zhongli clicked his tongue in amazement. How much blood would it take to make the Holy Maiden less weak?

After the blood from more than a dozen corpses had been poured into the blood pool, Zhong Li squatted down beside Ye Wei and asked with concern, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better? Is this blood enough to summon another Red Dragon Knight?"

Ye Wei said softly, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Master. To recruit another Red Dragon Knight, we may need hundreds more doses of blood of this caliber."

Zhongli looked at Hongluan in surprise. Women really are made of water! Do you need so much blood? What for? Can your body hold it all?

Hongluan knew what Zhongli was thinking just by looking at his gaze. She glanced coldly around, giving a warning to all directions.

Zhong Li smiled, not too frustrated that he couldn't summon it for the time being. He relaxed, thinking that he could just fight another hundred battles like this and then he could summon another Dragonblood Knight.

Perhaps if the scale of the battles increases, just a few battles will suffice.

Zhong Li smiled faintly and said to Ye Wei, "It's okay, we can take it slowly. I believe that with our efforts to heal your wounds, everything will be alright."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wei finally revealed a knowing smile for the first time. Although she did not speak, the corners of her mouth gently turned up, and her gentle face was like a crabapple blossoming in the sunlight.

Less than ten minutes after Zhong Li finished speaking, while he was studying the resource synthesis pod, Shortboard's excited voice came from afar: "Great news! Great news! Administrator, I've discovered a treasure trove abandoned in the wasteland!"
