Looking at the pile of precious jewelry in front of him, Dr. Ebsiting couldn’t help but have some greedy thoughts, but his long-nurtured quality and moral principles made it impossible for him to commit theft;

Although filled with envy, he didn’t reach out to take a single piece of jewelry, even though Song Jian threw these jewels around like trash. In Dr. Ebsiting’s eyes, these jewels were Song Jian’s spoils of war and should be disposed of by him;

“What, what did you say?” Dr. Ebsiting’s face showed an astonished expression as he looked at Song Jian, not quite believing his own ears.

“These are jewels worth billions, even in today’s world, they are still highly valuable. Just one of them could make you a permanent resident of any Gathering Area, don’t you want to leave this damned City of Death?” Dr. Ebsiting couldn’t help but say.

“I told you, if you like them, you can have them all. These things are useless to me.” Song Jian said indifferently, not caring about the billions-worth jewels in front of him.

Dr. Ebsiting looked at Song Jian, a trace of admiration flashing in his eyes as he shook his head and sighed, “I did not expect you, a young man, to have such a vision. One or two of these jewels are precious treasures, but in large quantities, they are the root of disaster. Without great strength, these jewels will only lead people into the abyss of despair.”

Song Jian looked at Dr. Ebsiting with surprise. He didn’t want these jewels because they couldn’t be taken out of the game, but Dr. Ebsiting had thought more about it.

“This old man must have gone crazy from reading too much,” Song Jian shook his head and silently thought to himself.

“Alright, old man, hurry up and tell me the story behind this grenade fragment. I still have a lot of things to do.” Song Jian showed an impatient expression on his face as he took out the grenade fragment and handed it to Dr. Ebsiting. “Well, alright, I’ll tell you everything 1 know! This is a fragment of the T-11 high-explosive grenade casing. It’s made of a special metal alloy, and the formula for this metal alloy is my invention.”

This time, Dr. Ebsiting didn’t refuse, holding the grenade fragment as he fell into deep thought, speaking to himself.

“At the time 1 discovered these metal alloy fragments, I even wrote a few papers on them. The characteristics of this alloy are a particularly contradictory combination. The molecules that make up the alloy are always in high-speed motion. Such a molecular combination should exist in liquid or gaseous form, but strangely, it exists as a solid. Moreover, the physical properties of this metal alloy are eight times that of titanium alloy.”

“However, this metal alloy cannot withstand strong impacts. If the impact exceeds the explosive power of 30 grams of TNT, the molecular motion of the metal alloy will accelerate a hundred times instantaneously, exploding outward in a semi-liquid, semi-solid form…”

“In the end, I handed the formula for this metal alloy to my best friend, Robert Aiven, who was the Guardian of this city at the time, the most powerful superhero in this place…”

“The high-explosive grenades made from this metal alloy became Robert’s favorite weapon, and he used them to protect the city until it became the City of Death…”

“Robert eventually died, perishing in this city. 1 don’t even know where his body is…” Dr. Ebsiting took off his glasses, gently wiped the corner of his eye, and said, “Robert fulfilled his vow to protect this city forever, even to the point of death…”

“Since this high-explosive grenade has reappeared, it means that someone has found Robert’s armory. I can’t imagine any other place this thing could have come from.” Dr. Ebsiting finally said;

System: You have successfully obtained information about the T-11 high-explosive grenade from Dr. Ebsiting;

System: Side Quest – Guardian’s Demise (Part One Complete);

System: Do you want to end the quest now and get the quest reward, or accumulate it for the next part of the quest? (Quest hint: If you choose to accumulate but fail the second part, you will lose all quest rewards, so choose carefully!)

“This side quest is actually a chain quest?” Song Jian was surprised but quickly made his choice.

Accumulate!

Even though he rarely played games, Song Jian knew that when encountering such chain quests, it was best to complete all the tasks and then receive the rewards, as the rewards would be much more substantial that way;

System: You have chosen to accumulate the quest rewards for the next step;

System: You have initiated the Side Quest – Guardian’s Demise Chapter Two – Lost Trail

Chapter Two Quest Name: Lost Trail

Chapter Two Quest Target: Search for the final resting place of the City of Zombies’ Guardian, Robert Aiven;

Chapter Two Quest Hint: Guardian Robert Aiven died protecting this city, and his powerful body was used by the enemy, transformed into the first-generation zombie. The zombified Robert roams this city daily;

Chapter Two Quest Suggestion: The zombified Robert is extremely powerful, it is recommended for players to reach Level 10 before making contact;

“Sigh, Level 10?” Song Jian scratched his head, he was only Level 5 now, reaching Level 10 in a short time seemed impossible;

Seeing the quest hint mentioning the zombie Robert roaming the city, Song Jian couldn’t help but think of the giant skeleton he had seen in the city before, over ten meters tall. Ever since seeing it once, he hadn’t seen it again. This skeleton, full of question marks in the attribute screen, also liked roaming the city, and he wondered if there was any connection between the two;

“Well, old… Doctor, since the bandits here are all dead and you’re safe now, I’ll be going. We will meet again.” Song Jian glanced at the 54 gold bricks and two jewelry pieces in his bag, feeling quite satisfied;

“…, Alright, young man, we will meet again. Are you sure you don’t want these jewels?” Dr. Ebsiting couldn’t help but ask one more time;

“No, no, they’re all yours.” Song Jian waved his hand with an air of generosity;

Watching Song Jian leave and disappear into the night, Dr. Ebsiting pulled out a necklace from his collar. The pendant on the necklace was a small metal sphere the size of a fingernail, with seemingly thousands of facets cut into its surface, shimmering with a strange glow in the dim light;

He took off the metal sphere pendant, pressed it gently, and the sphere began to change rapidly, with the facets on the surface constantly shifting;

Dr. Ebsiting threw the sphere forward, and it floated in mid-air, quickly turning into a huge plane, like a sheet of silvery-white cloth;

The silvery metal plane, six or seven square meters, floated tightly in front of the doctor, completely defying all laws of physics;

The doctor placed all the jewelry on the silver metal plane one by one, lightly tapped it, and the plane began to shrink inward. In a short while, it turned back into a small metal sphere;

The doctor hung the small metal sphere back on the necklace, took a glance at the vast night, and whispered to himself, “The young man is not bad, what a pity… I don’t know if I can find that thing in this garbage dump. If I do find it, maybe 1 can create the second city Guardian…”
