It took an entire morning to formulate the points-based pricing system.
After much discussion, everyone finally compiled dozens of pages detailing various materials and their corresponding point prices.
Because it involved a reform of the Prison system, everyone was fully focused and took it seriously.
After entrusting the final wrap-up work to Rick, Shawn was the first to leave the cafeteria.
Then, a burly, tough figure walked out, quickening his pace to catch up with Shawn, and walked slowly beside him.
"How long will it take to build the 'Wilderness Villas' you mentioned?"
Shane looked at Shawn.
He didn't doubt the authenticity of the villa complex; if Shawn said it would exist, then it definitely would.
Shawn glanced at him and chuckled.
"Can't wait already?"
Shane was the military commander and also a person in power, possessing 50,000 initial points.
While renting a Wilderness Villa was an astronomical price for others, Shane could easily afford it.
Shane's expression remained unchanged at the words, and he simply stated honestly,
"The walls of the Administrative Building are too thin; living here constantly is somewhat inconvenient."
Shawn understood; currently, Shane was living with Andrea.
Shane and Andrea.
Both were in their prime, and Shane was particularly passionate; an old ox doesn't rest on fertile ground, so their activities were naturally frequent.
Everyone was usually in the Prison, constantly seeing each other, and after a while, it became a bit awkward.
Women always discussed some explicit topics, and Andrea had been teased countless times when she was with her sisters and Carol.
So, when 'Wilderness Villas' was mentioned just now, Shawn saw Andrea and Shane silently exchange glances.
Evidently, Andrea's support was also a factor in Shane's decision.
Shawn naturally supported Shane's idea with both hands.
Once Shane led the way, everyone would see the rewards of dedicating themselves to the Prison.
"Within two months… but if you pre-order, I'll try my best to rush one out first."
"You and Andrea can write down your requirements first, and I will try my best to arrange them for you then."
"Thanks, I need to go back and discuss it with Andrea first."
After speaking, Shane stopped on the second floor of the Administrative Building and hurried back to his room.
Shawn continued walking towards the third floor.
Rushing the construction… that was naturally impossible.
Building a villa was not a small project; two months would only be enough to build some empty shells.
The reason Shawn agreed so readily was that, besides building it by hand, Shawn had other methods.
Arriving at the office door on the third floor, there was a small box on the ground, secured with a small lock.
Shawn picked up the box and pushed the door open.
Beth wasn't there; she was probably either accompanying Maggie or visiting her father's farm.
Shawn comfortably sat on the chair, squeezed the small lock with his right hand, and with a faint 'click,' the box opened.
Inside lay three transparent containers filled with black blood, which were the heart blood of those Mutated Corpses.
Before arranging the Zealots to guard Olivia's supply depot that morning, Shawn first sent people outside the Prison to collect the heart blood of the Mutated Corpses under the guise of collecting and burning bodies.
"It's just a pity that the automatically exploding remnants were not even palm-sized; their heart blood was wasted."
Shawn shook his head regretfully, then immediately turned all the Mutated Corpses' heart blood into blood moon survivor rings.
A total of 183 rings, corresponding to 183 Mutated Corpses.
The efficacy of the blood moon survivor ring goes without saying; without the ring, T-Dog's head would probably have been shot through by Shane.
In addition to its medical effects, the ring's effect was equally obvious when facing the Blood Moon again.
This time, Shane did not react as agitatedly when facing the Mutated Corpses as he did last time; he was incredibly composed.
This was partly due to Shane himself, and partly due to the ring's effect.
This bonus might seem negligible, but only when actually facing a mutated zombie horde does one realize how crucial it is.
It can even be said that:
As long as one can maintain rationality and not panic when facing a mutated zombie horde, they have already surpassed 95% of survivors.
Shawn tossed all the rings into the box that originally held the heart blood; later, he would distribute them among the army, Search team, and Zealots Legion.
These three groups frequently ventured out, facing the greatest risks, and thus deserved priority.
Raising his hand, Shawn closed the box with a 'thump,' then slowly shifted his gaze upwards, looking at a suspended message panel in his line of sight.
What was displayed on it was precisely the reward given by the Fourth Blood Moon System.
Just like after surviving the previous Blood Moon, there were five rewards, as follows:
[Reward One: Set Upgrade — Specify 4 pieces of a set for full upgrade (Lv5)]
[Reward Two: Solar Power Pack]
[Reward Three: magazine * 50]
[Reward Four: Building Complex Miniature Model]
[Reward Five: Treasure Map (Unknown)]
The first reward goes without saying; it allows a set of equipment to have all its components directly upgraded to the maximum level, excluding 'Legendary,' regardless of their current level.
Currently, Shawn only had two of the most practical sets of equipment:
The stalker suit and the raider set.
After careful consideration,
Shawn had originally intended to reserve this Lv5 upgrade opportunity for the 'stalker suit.'
The reason was simple: maximum benefit.
Currently, among the stalker suit, there was still one 'Stalker Hood' that was Lv1.
Given the current level of the magazine, Fully Armed, it was not yet possible to directly manufacture Lv5 equipment in a short period.
Therefore, if this upgrade opportunity was applied to the 'stalker suit,' its boost to combat power would undoubtedly be considerable.
And so far, Shawn only had two basic attributes at maximum level:
Strength and Agility.
Among them, Agility played the greatest role when fighting hostile survivors.
Therefore, upgrading the 'stalker suit' could be a preferred option.
However, before making a decision, Shawn hesitated because he saw the effects of another set he had never obtained before
It had two main maximum effects.
One: It could increase the number of slots in the system backpack for carrying supplies, increase carrying capacity, and reduce consumption.
Shawn directly skipped this point; with the current system backpack's slot count calculated by 'pages,' this effect held no appeal for Shawn.
The key was the second point:
Full Set Bonus: Find higher quality loot (Search level amplification affected by set level)
That's right, it was another factor that could boost the Search level.
Shawn wondered if the full set effect of the 'scavenger set' could stack with the Lucky Looter under the Perception Sequence.
Once both the set and the skill were maxed out, would his Search level reach an incredibly terrifying height?
And when that time came to extract or Search for supplies, would he directly obtain higher-level items and tools?
