Apocalypse - Infinite Resource System
Chapter 547: The Rulers’ Treasure, The Hammer of Thor
The sun slowly rose.
For Waldo, who hadn’t seen the sun in a long time, this was quite surprising.
The sky was a deep blue.
There were two suns in the sky.
One was about the size of a car tire, and the other was roughly the size of a basketball, hanging in two different directions in the sky.
Suddenly, the sound of flapping wings came from afar.
It turned out to be two or three giant sparrows, each with a wingspan of over three meters, flying across the sky.
Waldo lay on the grass next to a dilapidated thatched hut, a blade of grass in his mouth.
The fresh taste spread through his mouth via the gaps in his teeth.
"Ah! This is so comfortable!"
Waldo stretched lazily.
He had just arrived here today.
This thatched hut in front of him was provided by the system.
From now on, he would use this as his base to build a city, expand his power, and conquer more territories.
To achieve a higher score in the assessment task.
"A thatched hut to start with? Not even a shovel? No laborers? What can I do with this? How am I supposed to build my territory?"
Waldo thought to himself, turning his attention to the chat channel.
As expected, he saw many challengers constantly complaining.
"Oh my, I only have a thatched hut, nothing else, how am I supposed to survive?!"
"We’re doomed. According to the system, there will be various dangers at night, like wild beasts, zombies, and so on attacking us. And now, we don’t even have any effective weapons for self-defense, not even food. What are we going to do?"
"Don’t panic, don’t panic, wait until ten o’clock, the system will distribute a newbie pack, everyone should make good use of it. Best of luck to everyone in the new round of assessment, keep it up, and good luck!"
...
Soon, it was ten o’clock.
[Ding Dong!]
[Trialist Waldo, your newbie gift pack has arrived, please check it out!]
[Ding Dong, Trialist Waldo, congratulations, the "Tenfold Reward" from the rulers’ treasure has arrived!]
[Ding Dong, your newbie gift pack has been multiplied by ten!]
[Ding Dong, Trialist Waldo, congratulations on obtaining the Thor’s Hammer from the rulers’ treasure, please check it out!]
As the clock struck ten, a series of system notification sounds arrived as scheduled.
A smile appeared on Waldo’s face.
The rulers’ treasure had finally arrived.
Opening the newbie gift pack.
[Received ten strong warriors.]
[Received ten iron swords.]
(Note, each strong warrior requires a certain amount of food daily, please be mindful of food collection. The loyalty of the strong warriors is one hundred; they can go through fire and water for you, and can offer their lives for you. However, once their loyalty falls below sixty, they might rebel, so treat your warriors well.)
(Note, there are eight hours left until nightfall, please hurry to reinforce your thatched house, collect enough food, and gather wood and stone materials. Once night falls, danger will approach you, so be careful and cautious!)
...
As the system’s voice ended and a series of notification sounds disappeared.
Waldo rubbed his head, organizing the massive amount of information.
Suddenly, a fog appeared in front of him.
It was hazy and the specifics were unclear.
Then, figures emerged from it.
Tall and burly, they walked with a resounding, powerful stride.
Like a wall of copper and iron.
Dark and imposing, they gave a very direct visual impact.
These were ten strong warriors, bare-chested with extremely developed muscles, an average height of two meters, and faces full of scars.
Each of them was equipped with a sharp iron sword, which looked very impressive.
"Are these my strong warriors?"
Waldo was slightly stunned.
"Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter! I dare not even touch them, yet I have to treat them like lords!"
In the comment section, the trialists were howling like ghosts and wolves, with all sorts of bizarre events appearing.
...
Seeing this, a somewhat proud smile emerged on Waldo’s face.
This comparison made the difference clear.
The underlings of other trialists were a bunch of powerless poor people with low loyalty.And his subordinates?
They were exactly the opposite, a group of elite soldiers with high loyalty!
Waldo would be surprised if he wasn’t pleased.
"The treasure obtained from the rulers’ palace not only multiplies my rewards by ten but also gives me a hammer!"
"Right, where is my Hammer of Thor?"
It was at this moment that Waldo realized there was no hammer in his system space.
Just as this thought crossed his mind, he suddenly felt something.
He hurriedly looked up at the sky.
In the vast sky, a bolt of lightning suddenly split the heavens, heading straight towards the
location of the thatched house and where Waldo was.
If one looked closely, they would find that wrapped in that lightning was a hammer!
"Master! Be careful!"
"Be careful!!!"
Before Waldo could react, the strong warriors roared and quickly positioned their tall bodies in front of him, seemingly intending to shield him from the hammer falling from the sky.
Boom!
A loud explosion sounded.
The earth shook and mountains trembled!
A cloud of dust, stirred up by the fierce wind, billowed into the air.
"Master, be careful, this object is dangerous!"
One warrior, seeing Waldo about to step forward, stopped him with a cautious expression.
It was evident that these strong warriors were completely loyal to Waldo.
They regarded him as more important than their own lives.
They could sense the immense danger emanating from the object.
Normally, they would choose to stay away from such a thing, but because of their master, they had to investigate despite their fear.
One of the warriors, ready to risk his life, stepped forward to examine it.
"Let me check it out first! This object fell from the sky and its origins are unknown; it could be dangerously mysterious!"
Seeing this, Waldo, with a wry smile, stopped them.
"There’s no need for this; this hammer is a weapon I summoned. You don’t have to worry!"
"What? This, this, this... is a weapon summoned by the master?!"
"The master is incredible!"
"The master is unparalleled! With divine help, he is surely unmatched and destined to unify the world!"
"Long live the master!"
Hearing this, the strong warriors first showed a flicker of confusion in their eyes, then widened them in disbelief. Then, someone shouted "Long live" and all the strong warriors knelt down and started to chant loudly.
From their expressions, it was clear.
They were extremely excited.
