Chapter 202: Nerfed by the System? (1/2)

Croco and Maximo glared at a zombie a few meters away.

The zombie was fighting a bird intensely. Even though the bird could fly gaining a height advantage, it didn't look like it was winning.

Nile was confused as to why the System Map didn't project the bird and the zombie's dot. They are clearly moving yet it was only when they were near the two did the System Map project their respective dots.

'Are you fucking kidding? Are you trying to get me killed?'

He grumbled inside his head in protest.

Immediately, he asked the System why was that the case?

The answer of the System made Nile bewildered.

[Host, in order to sense the moving things around you, the System needs to constantly deploy an energy wave. This wave was created using the Apocalypse Virus as a fuel. There was an 'error' and the System first thought that the energy wave wouldn't cost a lot.

However, the System later found out that the apocalypse virus cost was astronomical and the System's apocalypse points reserve was getting depleted every second the energy wave was deployed.

Hence, the System decided to modify it a little. Please check the System Map function to see further details.]

Nile instructed Croco and Maximo to look out for the bird and the zombie for a moment.

He then accesses the System Map and upper corner, there was a blinking red exclamation mark.

He pressed that exclamation mark and a new screen pops out in front of him.

[System Map Skill: Sphere Sensor

-A skill especially made for the Host to detect anything around it with a distance of 100 meters.

A sphere shaped sensor would be deployed with the Host as the center.

Cost: 2 Apocalypse Points per Detect.

Could last for 5 seconds.

0.50 Apocalypse Points will be deducted after 5 seconds of detection.

Please say, ”Stop” to stop the detection.

]

”Shit!”

Nile cursed out loud as he reads the description of the skill.

The System was definitely messing with him.

It was free before and now you're telling me that it wasn't really 'free' and it was only an error?

Tell me honestly, are you nerfing me?

Phew!
