I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 304: Chapter 304 The Little Match Girl

Translator: 549690339 |

Song Jian, now at the fifteenth level, with his Ghost Battle Armor and the enhanced “Fifth Battle Flag” weapon in his hands, was itching to test his increased power.

This time, he skipped the fifteenth level monster zone and ran straight into the twentieth level monster zone.

Most players nowadays can’t even handle the fifteenth level monster zone, not to mention the twentieth level monster zone, which is completely dominated by mutant zombies.

The mutant zombies here at level twenty don’t differentiate between day and night. Even during the day, their attributes remain unaffected. Similarly equipped with Vitality Points, they aren’t much different from the bosses at the fifteenth level.

Just as he entered the twentieth level monster zone, a mutant zombie draped in dark scales rushed towards Song Jian. Now, the mutant zombies were more like mindless humanoid beasts, exhibiting no human characteristics whatsoever.

Spiritual Sword Control Technique!

An invisible Spirit Sword quickly formed above Song Jian’s head, and following his thoughts, quietly flew towards the mutant zombie. At the same time, Song Jian jolted and charged with his Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword to the zombie.

Broken Wing Dance!

Sword Silk!

Sweeping Sword Style!

With a series of sword techniques deployed, the mutant zombie was unable to fight back. It could only roar in anger and finally turned around and ran away, clutching its head.

“It seems to have lost its mind in rage, but it still has an instinct to fear death. These higher-level monsters are great pretenders!” Song Jian was surprised. The mutant zombies below the fifteenth level wouldn’t flee. They would fight to their very last blood, giving one the impression that they would rip a piece of flesh off you even at death’s door.

However, the twentieth level monster in front of him, although it portrayed a sense of madness, ended up fleeing due to the fear of death. It was clearly not as mindless as Song Jian initially believed.

Sword Finger!

Song Jian quickly raised his left hand, forwards a stab. A silver Sword Qi promptly shot out, piercing the back of the mutant zombie’s head and exiting from the forehead.

Song Jian, now on level fifteen, had used the skill point he earned from leveling up on his fully proficient Sword Finger. Now, the skill “Sword Finger” had evolved to third level. Its damage increased from 70-100 to 90-120, and the gold element damage increased by 30 points, reaching 100 points.

In other words, Sword Finger could now deal approximately 200 points of damage to its target.

Whoosh~

The Sword Qi was both swift in appearance and disappearance. In an instant, the three-meter-long Sword Qi vanished, leaving a deep hole in the skull of flie mutant zombie.

The mutant zombie trembled all over and collapsed to the ground, as the Sword Qi drained its last bit of Vitality Points.

“My power has increased a lot!” Song Jian said, his face glowing with a joyous smile. Ordinary monsters at level twenty no longer threatened him. Unless surrounded by hundreds or thousands of level twenty monsters, he was capable of calmly utilizing the terrain to kill them all.

“From now on, I can set my stage to the twentieth level monster zone!” Song Jian mused, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

Just then, Song Jian received information from the auction house. His silver- quality shield was sold at the bidding price, ten thousand Doomsday Coins was already in his inventory after the charges were deducted.

Song Jian was startled and then sighed. There really were many rich people in this game. However, those who could afford to spend twenty thousand Doomsday Coms on a shield were most likely not individuals, but powerful alliances.

Who bought the shield wasn’t of much interest to Song Jian. He divided half of his Doomsday Coins, planning to send them to Li Ke’er later. He was looking forward to the auction of the Stealth Technique Skill Stone.

He hadn’t set a fixed price for the Stealth Technique, only a minimum bid. Therefore, the auction would take some time. He would have to wait patiently. After checking the system prompt, Song Jian swung his sword and lunged at the next level 20 monster.

The day passed quickly and a sunset appeared on the horizon. Half the sky turned red. This was probably the most beautiful sight of the day.

In the game, even during the day, the sun wasn’t always visible. It was often hidden by thick clouds and only revealed itself for a few minutes at noon. Having a full day of sunshine was a rare occurrence.

Thus, the evening had become a valuable time for players to admire the sun. At this time, most players would stop all their activities, sit on the rooftops of their safe houses, watch the beautiful red sky, and observe the sun as it slowly set.

At night, the mutated zombies, whose attributes were halved during daytime, would regain their strength. Meanwhile, the level 20 mutated zombies, whose attributes did not weaken during the day, would increase their strength by 50%. Be it their attack, defense, or speed, all would experience a substantial increase.

Song Jian hesitated for a moment, then decided to retreat first and not hunt monsters during the night. After all, the night was a paradise for the monsters. Even those usually unnoticeable Elites and Boss-level monsters would begin to roam the streets. If he was spotted by these Bosses, it would be a life and death struggle.

Even if Song Jian was confident, he wouldn’t dare hunt and level up in the level 20 monster area during the night.

Now, Song Jian preferred to fight against monsters five levels lower than him. His Experience Points increased significantly. After a day, his level 15 experience bar had already reached 34%. The proficiency of his skills “Sword Silk and “Earth Teeth Assault” had both increased to 100%. He only needed

skill points to upgrade to the next level and gain more power.

Just as Song Jian was preparing to leave the level 20 monster area, he suddenly saw a little girl in a red cloak holding a bunch of matches walking towards him. “Sir, it’s going to be dark soon. Do you need matches? I have the best matches in the city. A box is only one Doomsday Coin!”

The little girl seemed somewhat skinny, with a basket full of small paper boxes hanging off her left hand. Her bright big eyes full of anticipation nervously watched Song Jian.

“The Little Match Girl? No wait, a little girl selling matches?” Song Jian couldn’t help but take two steps back, watching the suddenly appearing girl with a vigilant face.

This wasn’t an ordinary place. It was a level 20 monster area where every few steps you could find a mutated zombie. Any level one NPC who dared to walk around here would find themselves getting dragged into an alley by a monster. “Who are you?” Song Jian gripped his Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword tightly and asked apprehensively.

“Sir, my name is Maria Susan. Can you please buy a box of matches? I haven’t eaten in a day…” The little girl looked pathetic, tears welling up in her eyes. Song Jian’s heart couldn’t help but twitch as if a hand had clenched it tightly. After a moment of hesitation, Song Jian nodded, pulled out a Doomsday Coin and handed it to the little girl saying, “Alright, I’ll buy a box.”

“Thank you, kind sir. Here’s your box of matches.” The little girl handed him a box of matches with a happy smile on her face. She took the Doomsday Coin, bowed to Song Jian, and turned to leave slowly.

Song Jian’s eyes followed the little girl. He had once encountered a monster disguised as a little girl. A level one NPC appearing here was too strange. Song Jian felt a sense of unease. It wasn’t until the girl’s figure disappeared into the sunset that Song Jian let out a sigh of relief. His eyes then fell on the box in his hand.
