Apocalypse - Infinite Resource System
Chapter 185: Evolution of Abilities
Finally, he obtained three source stones, which equated to three evolution points. Up to this point, he had finally accumulated ten evolution points!
At this moment, Waldo was quite excited. Ten evolution points would allow one of his abilities to evolve and level up.
Finally, he had gathered ten evolution points, and it had truly been a difficult journey.
Yes, it was extremely challenging to obtain these points, as only Level Three zombies possessed source stones, and Level Three zombies were often very formidable.
Alanna and Helen commented from the side, expressing their understanding that hunting Level Three zombies was not an easy task.
"Waldo, what ability do you want to evolve?" Helen suddenly asked. "Actually, I think you should upgrade ’Teleportation’ first. Currently, it’s the ability that helps you the most, and it’s the one used most frequently. Besides, ’Teleportation’ is also the most crucial means of saving your life and is nearly invincible."
Waldo nodded in agreement. "I was thinking the same thing. Regardless of the situation, this ability always comes in handy at critical moments. Whether it’s in combat, assassination, or self-preservation, it’s the best. In comparison, ’Fire Control’ and ’Invisibility’ are a bit inferior."
This was the result of his long deliberation. ’Teleportation’ was the ability he relied on the most.
At this point, Alanna asked, "When are you going to upgrade your ability? I can’t wait any longer."
Seeing her eager expression, it was evident that she was anxious to know how her ability would change after the upgrade.
"No rush, let’s first tally up the experience points," Waldo reminded them.
Over the past few days, they had killed a significant number of zombies but hadn’t accurately recorded the data.
Soon, the three of them calculated the approximate figures. In the battle where they used the rocket launcher to eliminate zombies on a large scale, they had wiped out nearly 6,000 zombies. This included about one-fifth of Level Two zombies.
Therefore, from just this battle, they had gained over 7,000 experience points. Adding this to the zombies they had killed in the previous three days during their time in the West City district, the three of them had hunted nearly 20,000 zombies. Their total experience points had reached over 27,000.
Including the experience points they had before, they had a total of 130,000. Waldo concluded, "I’ve decided that after some time, I’ll upgrade again. However, there’s no need to rush right now."
"Alright, I’m going to upgrade my ability," Waldo said. He then focused his attention on his personal interface.
"Enhance the ability ’Teleportation’!"
With that thought, ten evolution points instantly disappeared, and the level of ’Teleportation’ successfully reached Level Two.
"Is there any change?" Alanna asked curiously, while Helen looked at him with great interest.
However, Waldo, at this moment, didn’t seem to show any changes. Unlike leveling up, there was no visible effect when an ability evolved.
"Change? I’m not entirely sure right now. All I know is that I’ve upgraded ’Teleportation’ to Level Two. I’ll need to try it out to see the specific changes," Waldo replied, shaking his head.
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared on the spot.
"Hmm? Where did Waldo go?" Alanna’s eyes widened.
Waldo’s teleportation had limited range, typically no more than thirty meters. He should still be nearby!
Helen was quicker to react. "Makes sense. Let’s go look for him. He couldn’t have gone far!"
The two women began searching for Waldo amidst numerous craters, and the lingering scent of gunpowder in the air. There wasn’t much cover in the surroundings, making it easy to search.
However, despite looking around, they couldn’t find any trace of Waldo. Not a hair.
Alanna’s eyes widened in disbelief. "What’s going on? Why can’t we find Waldo? His teleportation range is only supposed to be thirty meters. He shouldn’t be able to escape our line of sight within that range!"
"Yeah, it’s strange. Maybe, after upgrading his ability, he can teleport a greater distance? Let’s expand our search range a bit," Helen suggested, deep in thought.
After all, Waldo had already mentioned that he was going to upgrade his ’Teleportation’ ability. Therefore, it was possible that his teleportation range had increased beyond the previous thirty meters.
Alanna nodded in agreement, and they continued their search.
This time, they expanded their search range from thirty meters to fifty meters. Unfortunately, they still couldn’t find him. However, they didn’t get discouraged. In fact, Alanna seemed somewhat excited.
"It seems like the enhancement to his ability is significant. Waldo’s teleportation range must be much larger than we thought," Alanna said with enthusiasm.
Helen was equally pleased. "The longer the teleportation distance, the stronger Waldo’s abilities are. After all, this is a crucial part of his strength."
Soon, the two women extended their search further.
No sign of Waldo within a sixty-meter radius!
Nothing within seventy meters!
Eighty meters revealed no trace of Waldo!
Even within ninety meters, he was nowhere to be found!
"Seriously, is Waldo playing tricks on us? How could his teleportation range suddenly increase so much? I strongly suspect he’s using ’Invisibility’," Alanna grumbled, seriously suspecting that Waldo was teasing them.
"If Waldo doesn’t come out soon, we’ll have to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, it won’t be enough to calm our anger. It’s not impossible," Helen nodded slowly, lost in thought.
Both women suspected that Waldo was using ’Invisibility’ to mess with them. After all, Waldo had a history of mischievous behavior, and such a prank wasn’t beyond him.
However, just at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the two women.
"Ah! How did you suddenly reappear?" Alanna was startled by Waldo’s sudden appearance.
She pointed at him and questioned suspiciously, "Where did you go just now? Why couldn’t we find you?"
Waldo smiled and said with excitement, "Hahaha, couldn’t find me? That’s right! I’ll be honest with you both; just now, I used ’Teleportation’ and teleported a hundred meters away!"
This revelation was met with two incredulous screams.
"A hundred meters?!"
Both women stared at Waldo in disbelief.
"Yes, a hundred meters!" Waldo said with confidence. "With the enhancement of my ability ’Teleportation’ from Level One to Level Two, the teleportation range increased from thirty meters to a hundred meters!"
