13 Chapter 13 - Battle of Xiangcheng City (1/2)
”Cultivation? ”This was a familiar word, but in this new world people weren't sure what he meant by it, so a lot of them were filled with questions.
Cheng Yang said: ”It's really cultivation, the world has turned into a game, but it's still the real world; so killing monsters to upgrade experience doesn't exist. People can only improve their strength through practice. If you open your list of skills, there is a basic cultivation skill. There is a limit to cultivating. A person can only cultivate for four hours a day, any more than that would have no effect. So don't waste any time and try to cultivate every day, it's very important. Of course, if you have access to a certain amount of power values, you can increase the speed of your cultivation; for example, having a total of more than 1000 power values would double the cultivation speed. At level 1, the basic cultivation skill consumes about 10 power values per hour to use. As to whether to you use power value for cultivation, you can decide yourself.” (T/N: only by having a certain amounts of power values can you unlock faster cultivation speed)
Cheng Yang didn't mention that they could use their power values to contribute to upgrading the profession statues however. Partly, because these were their own power values, and they worked hard to obtain them; forcing them to donate wasn't reasonable. He felt that in a short time by killing the surrounding enchanted beasts he would have enough power values to upgrade all the profession statues.
”In addition, while practicing cultivation in the log cabin, you can increase your cultivation speed by 10%. Every cabin can hold five people in one room; the rest of the cabins will be used for people that may come here later. ”Cheng Yang finally said.
People didn't have anything to say in response. Being able to have shelter over their head in this environment was good enough, why be picky about it? The only special one was Pang Shan, who had her own cabin. There was no other choice since she was the only girl here, and they couldn't let her and a group of men stay together in one room. Later, when other women transferred, they would share the room with her.
”Yoko, now that we have finished transferring occupations, and have the ability to fight with the enchanted beasts, are the people in the city also able to transfer occupations? ”Yu Kai suddenly revealed a problem that had been on his mind.
Cheng Yang looked up at the sky and said: ”There are indeed profession transfer statues in the city, but as of right now … … I'm afraid nobody has been able to reach them! ”
What Cheng Yang had said was correct; right now Xiangcheng city was still in a state of chaos.
Facing monsters that appeared randomly in all directions, humans were getting slaughtered endlessly. Even former athletes, and boxing champions were treated as nothing in front of them.
Of course, humanity still had some ways to fight back. Unfortunately, due to Rule Change of Heaven and Earth, all electrical equipment had stopped working, but since firearms didn't require electricity they could still be used, even rockets still worked.
But right now Xiangcheng city had no weapons of mass destruction. Just some light firearms; such as rifles, and submachine guns. After all, the military garrison wasn't located in the city. For weapons such as rockets, and other heavy weapons most police officers are going to have access to these.
Xiangcheng City's government spent ten minutes closing the Public Security Bureau building and then had the police run over to the Government building, giving most of them with guns. They were going to rely on these people to stabilize the current situation, but they had not yet set out, being disrupted by the sudden changes.
Enchanted beasts that had just re-spawned found a huge amount of people gathered in the city hall ruins, and directly rushed over.
This made everyone jump out of his or her skins; the armed police immediately fired their weapons. However, after getting hit by a bullet from their handgun, they discovered the monsters were still alive and kicking. Although they could make every bullet hit a monster, the monsters were fine even after getting hit by 3 or 4 bullets. The result was unacceptable.
At this moment people were still dumbfounded. The enchanted beasts took advantage, rushing into the crowds, and began to go on massive killing sprees.
Eventually humans were able to gain an advantage with the help of guns; slowly the enchanted beasts started dying. From their observations, every monster seemed to take around 15-16 bullets to kill.
This vitality was too OP, right? For now they didn't know that the reasons these monsters were so hard to kill is because the world had changed, regular guns only do three points of damage to them, and even a sniper rifle would deal less than six points of damage. If you wanted to kill a monster with guns, naturally it wasn't easy.
They hadn't yet had a chance to make a detailed study of these monsters when suddenly another wave of monsters spawned. Police officers without hesitation, immediately opened fire.
At this moment, they found out they had a very serious problem, they were running out of ammo! They might be able to kill this wave of enchanted beasts, but what if there were another wave of monsters after this one?
They were left with only two solutions; look for a place to hide, or return to the Public Security Bureau building, and try to dig for ammunition buried underneath the ruins.
Everyone knew that heavy machinery had stopped working, to get the ammunition from underneath the ruins would be very difficult. Top government officials soon decided to find a place to hide, and wait to find out more about the situation in order to make a decision.
Fortunately, although the earlier earthquake had completely destroyed all the buildings, none were completely flattened to the ground. This left plenty of places for people to hide.
Soon, the crowded ruins soon became empty, with everyone looking for a place to hide. The remaining numbers of police officers were responsible for covering their retreat. After killing more than a dozen monsters, they also went to look for a hiding place.
In fact, even the ruins of government buildings were empty; everyone in Xiangcheng city had chosen to hide. They knew that hiding wouldn't guarantee their safety, but it's better than going out in the open exposed to the monster's eyes, right? At least this way they could live a little longer.
