The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 44: Is There a Refund?
Chapter 44: Is There a Refund?
Just like before, it did not take them a long time to arrive at the port. After the group alighted, Henry gave instructions just like the previous time. They went to look for 100 kg of steel, and 50 kg of aluminum.
After that, the group parted ways and went ahead to start opening the containers. It wasn’t hard to get the 100 kg of steel, as they had previously opened a container that contained steel.
The only thing that they had to look for was aluminum. If possible, Henry really wanted to carry these metals. After all, there was no guarantee that he could easily get these materials in the future.
But, all of this was just a dream. There was no way that he was going to carry all these....
While Henry was busy moving the 100 kg of steel into the Jeep, he suddenly thought of something. Since he had upgraded the Jeep to the first star, there was no way that he was going to leave it on this island.
That implied that he would have to use a ferry to transport it out of here. And since the apocalypse had descended, it was obvious that not just any type of vehicle could be used.
Although he wasn’t sure about the strength of the aquatic animals, he was sure that just like the wild animals, they must have been affected by the descent of the apocalypse.
Deciding not to think about that for now, he hurriedly carried the 100 kg of steel bars. With the improvement of his strength, it wasn’t that hard for him to transfer the 100 kg of steel.
The moment that he was done, Adam came over with 50 kg of aluminum. This time, they were lucky that the first container that Adam opened contained aluminum.
Without any hesitation, Henry placed the 50 kg of aluminum into the backseat of the car. After that, he opened the system panel, before deciding to upgrade the Jeep to the second star.
Just like before, a red sphere immediately enveloped the Jeep. And at the same time, Henry saw that his mutation crystal balance had already dropped to 1,100 level 6 mutation crystals.
While the upgrade was still going on, Henry got into the system. Since there was an offer, then Henry was determined to use it to the maximum.
With that thought, he entered the system store and tried to look for a place that he was going to store the items that he possessed. The good thing about the system store was the fact that, it sold anything.
It wasn’t long before Henry finally found what he was looking for.
[Idle Space: Three star; an additional space where you can store items. In the idle space, time is halted. It is currently 500 cubic meters. Price: 1000 level 6 mutation crystals. (Note: The current star level of the idle space does not support life.)]
Henry took a deep breath when he found out the price of the idle space. Although it was true that the space was quite big, the price was just unacceptable to him. Additionally, this was after the system had already reduced the prices of the items and services that it offered.
Just thinking about the price that was supposed to be charged during the normal functioning of the system store, he couldn’t help but get slightly worried. After all, although it was true that he possessed a cheat, it was also expensive.
Even so, Henry did not hesitate to purchase the space. He knew that this was going to be something important, especially during the time that they wanted to transport something.
With that, 1,000 level 6 mutation crystals were immediately deducted. The moment that this happened, Henry suddenly felt that a warehouse had appeared in front of him.
This warehouse possessed a length of 9m, 8m width, and a height of 6.944’m. Henry took a deep breath as he observed the space that was currently empty. Then, he thought of something.
’System, can I store the car inside?’ Henry asked.
[Any item as long as it is not a living creature can enter the idle space. At the same time, it also depends on the size of the item. Anything that is bigger than the space cannot be placed inside.]
Henry’s eyes shined. The Jeep possessed the length of about 5 m, and width of about 2 m. As for the height, it was also about 2 m. For that reason, it could easily fit inside the idle space.
"Wow! What the heck? Where’s the change?!" At this moment, Henry was brought back to the present by Adam’s shout.
He immediately turned his attention towards the Jeep. He found that the sphere that was surrounding it had already disappeared.
What was revealed was a blood red painted Jeep. And other than that, there were no other visible changes that had occurred to the Jeep. Henry couldn’t help but wonder if he had been conned by the system.
[Upgraded Two star Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara; At the core of this jeep lies an extraordinary self-regeneration ability. Utilizing nanobots integrated into its structure, the jeep can swiftly identify and repair any damage inflicted upon it.
Whether it’s a scratch from a rough terrain, a bullet impact, or an attack by apocalyptic creatures, the self-regeneration system ensures that the jeep remains in impeccable condition, ready for any challenge that comes its way.
It currently possesses an even more advanced defense system. An impenetrable force field envelopes the vehicle, creating an invisible barrier that repels attacks on contact.
This force field efficiently deflects projectiles and absorbs the impact of high-speed collisions, rendering the jeep virtually impervious to harm. With the Jeep’s current capabilities, it can easily block the attacks of up to level 9 Rank O apocalyptic creatures or mutant warriors.
It is equipped with coiled energy cannons, raising the level of offensive capabilities to new heights. Unleashing devastating energy projectiles with precision and accuracy, these cannons can neutralize threats from a distance. The sheer force they deliver can easily kill any apocalyptic creature that is still within Rank O system.
Inside the cockpit, a state-of-the-art holographic display system dominates the interior. The transparent virtual screen presents critical information such as navigation maps, performance diagnostics, and real-time data feeds.
It can seamlessly adjust to various terrains using an adaptive terrain system. The suspension, traction control, and wheel rotation adapt in real-time to conquer any surface, from rocky mountains to sandy deserts, ensuring stability, maneuverability, and comfort in every challenging environment encountered.
Through a combination of cutting-edge sensors, scanners, and radar systems, it can detect minute details and anticipate potential threats. This advanced detection capability provides early warnings to the driver. The current maximum range of the detection system is 1 km radius.
Additionally, there is an advanced sound system, that can enable you to know what is going on even without personally seeing it. This function is connected telepathically to the first user of the Jeep. This setting can be changed.
Next upgrade requirements; 15,000 level 9 Bronze mutation crystals.]
After a very long description of the car, Henry found out that just as Adam had asked, there were no big changes that had occurred. Other than the color that had changed to red, it was mainly the auxiliary functions of the Jeep that had been given the priority.
Considering the fact that, at one star, the energy cannons and the defense mechanism of the Jeep could already deal with any apocalyptic monster that was below level 8 of Rank O. But now, there was only an improvement of these functions to being able to deal with level 9 Rank O.
’System, is there a refund?’ Henry questioned. At this moment, he felt that the mutation crystals that he had paid were actually for naught.
[Goods and services once sold cannot be refunded. The energy has already been spent by the system, and there is no way that it can be brought back to the way that it was, unless the host pays for it to happen.]
Henry: "..??"
Henry wanted to curse at that moment. After all, why was he supposed to pay, so that he could get his refund?
Simply shaking his head, he decided to throw the matter aside. Although there were several functions that had not been improved by much, there was a fact that the auxiliary functions of the jeep had been improved greatly.
But, what had really caught the attention of Henry was definitely the next upgrade requirement. There was not even a single requirement like getting some materials. Instead, the system was just straight -forward to demand for mutation crystals from him.
And, what was this Bronze rank? Could it be that this was the next rank after the current one?
’System, what is the Bronze Rank?’ Henry asked curiously.
[This piece of information can be purchased from the system store.]
After a single system prompt, there was no any other reply from the system. Henry could only shake his head, as he decided to focus on the current matter.
He led the group into the car. And, they found out that the car had become even more luxurious than before. This was actually a good place for them to sleep, had it not been for the fact that there was actually no way that they were going to make it happen. After all, how was they supposed to fit inside it?
With all that aside, Henry decided to look for a means that they were going to use to get out of the island. If possible, he would prefer to get something that could fetch all of them.
So, he walked towards the harbor. There were several ships that had already been docked there. Although most of them were big cargo ships, Henry still managed to find that there were several yachts that had been docked here.
The moment that he saw this, he immediately thought of something as his eyes shown with ferocity and killing intent.
