8 The System (1/2)
After cleaning up and getting a change of clothes, they went around the neighbor hood looking for survivors, including the houses of friends and acquaintances in the area, only to find them as zombies. During this time, they gave the regular zombie kills to Mabini, Apple, Maria, and Clara, boosting them to level 7 each.
They found 5 more evolved zombies, but this time they weren't separated, they were actually in the same vicinity. Luna figured this would be a good opportunity to practice team fighting. Boni took the lead, his <Holy Aura> made the evolved zombies instinctively want to get rid of him, leading them to tunnel vision towards him. Boni also wanted to take this opportunity to test just how sturdy he is.
With his 26 base VIT and +5 Bonus from his Mace, along with the 10% mitigation from his passive, each hit still took 3% of his health.
Luna told Mabini to guard Apple from any surprise attacks, as she was channeling <Chain Lightning> doing periodical damage to all 5 zombies, as they were staggered, Maria and Clara each went for one.
Clara got the last hit on hers, but Apple's <Chain Lightning> managed to get the kill on Maria's target.
Luna and Sura both killed the last three, both master and summon shared exp, resulting in them leveling up to 10.
Clara and Apple got level 7 only a few zombies back, so they were still short of the next level.
After reaching level 10, Luna got a flood of new information, he was curious and excited at the same time, but considering that they were out in the open, he opted to wait until they got back to his place before sharing it with everyone.
”Let's head back. Reaching level 10 has given me, or rather us, some exciting new benefits!”
The moment they got back home, they were so excited that they decided to put off sleep for another few minutes to hear the good news from Luna.
”Alright, bear with me, I haven't quite looked over all the info yet, but I'll tell you guys the ones that benefit you first.” Luna collected his thoughts before continuing, ”First and foremost, reaching level 10 has introduced the <Nation> system. It's similar to a Guild system, with a few key differences. Do you guys wanna hear the pros first, or the cons?” Luna looked at everybody, waiting for their opinion.
”You know I like my desserts first. PROS!” Boni enthusiastically replied. The rest of the team couldn't help but giggle at his reply.
Luna couldn't help but give Boni a look of disbelief. Was this guy so tired he's hyper? But he has the highest VIT in this room!
”Alright well, the good news is, anybody within the same <Nation> can opt to evenly share Exp on kills with whoever they want to, at any given time, as long as they are within a mile of each other. This makes it so we don't worry too much about who to give EXP to, and allows us to cover more ground, and grind EXP more efficiently, but exp can only be shared by at most, 1000 people at a time, with the ability to name a certain group.”
He allowed the rest to take in this new information before continuing.
