192 Oplan Warmth 3 (1/2)

The town clearing proceeded with ease as the survivors became used to fighting with their new bone weapons.

Black Haven has new short swords made from metal and ground bone powder.

After trailing off from experiments due to urgent demands, Old John finally successfully finished his research of mixing materials to create an improved weapon. Well, it could barely be called research since he just experimented whether adding bone powder would strengthen an item.

His discovery made them realize that a forged item's stat is directly related to the type of bone essence added in the forging process.

Simply put, a D-series carrier would enhance the weight and attack damage while H-series carriers would increase stats that were based on speed. The R0 Carriers who haven't evolved only increased the durability of the item.

Currently, the best combination was by adding pure bone powder either for durability, damage, or speed. If two or more combinations were added while forging, the effects would be dilated and the item would receive multiple stat increase with subpar results.

Jun supplied the clearing team with the overstocked phased-out bone swords. He sold them at a cheap price that people could afford. At first, they were doubtful but after a few skirmishes, they found out that it was extremely useful for killing rotters in one strike.

Binangonan is entering its transition phase from bone weapons to metal forged weapons. Everyone became happy with the new weapon and is the current craze of the town.

A modified 55” Touchscreen TV inside the Black Haven compound became the new job board, the survivors called it the Notice Board

Evo added a function on the Black Haven card to accept quests and receive rewards with a single tap of the card. This way, people don't need to bother BLack Haven staff with unnecessary questions or line up for a long time to retrieve their rewards.

The missions found at the Notice Board were simple ones like submitting 10kg of metals, help with the construction, and exploring the wilds then submit a report on how things went.

Missions would be paid with credit points, which would then be used to buy various things from the Black Haven Marketplace.

People who only had anonymous cards quickly applied for a card edit, while some applied for a new Named card.

With the new bone swords and bone spears, the survivors swept highways and subdivisions with relative ease. They were still adjusting their pace since there were times when fighting that their weapon would suddenly break causing a dangerous situation for the group.

The survivors were extremely interested in the new weapons since it was slightly better than their crafted ones.

Jun suddenly pondered whether an already finished product could still receive an upgrade? Is it possible to mixed bone powder when repairing an item?

He needs to dig deeper into this!

A group of teenagers weakly walked out of the mall. They were the teenagers that Jun encountered last time.

The group followed the national road and headed northwest. They held uniquely designed spears made from metal tubes.

After using the bone swords Jun gave them to its fullest(until they break), they managed to get a rare energy stone. They sold it for a heft price which they used for arming themselves.

They gleefully tossed their rag-tag weapons now that they have proper ones. They all have the cheapest spear sold by the only weapon crafter in town. Aside from the grip and spearhead, there were no other decorations.

When their group saw Jun announcing Marcus' death, they became utterly shocked. They knew that he was strong but didn't expect to be able to kill the Lord of the town. They even felt happy when Jun issued the challenge for supremacy since they knew that Jun was a reasonable person and could improve the situation of the town more than anyone else.

They became excited and decided to join the clearing group for tomorrow. Later that night, they found a person selling broth. The taste was good and it increased max energy by one while increasing base energy regeneration for a period of time.

Filled with happiness with their unexpected discovery, fueled by the good news, they treated themselves to several servings. Everything was fine until the next morning when their stomachs churned and made them feel sick.

They couldn't stand properly and could only rest.

The sun was already up when they recovered and most of the people were minding their own business.

Dejected for not being able to support Jun with the town clearing, Uno led his friends and decided to help in their own ways.

They learned that the clearing group went south, so they went north. With their weapons, they could fight safely as long as they don't encounter evolved creatures. After a few clashes, they became confident and kept going north.

While fighting a small group of R0 Carriers, another group happened to pass by chasing something and reinforced the small group.

They were about to retreat since they were heavily outnumbered but several people jumped out of hiding and ambushed the reinforcement.

With the help of the people, they killed every carrier with ease.
