If this had been a cultivation world, and he was some cultivator, his cultivation dao would be shattered by the mocking of the Plant Life System.

[Tch. Seeing how pitiful you are, the system will still grant you rewards, with heavy deductions. And that is only thanks to your Healer Sprout. Even in its sprout form, it is more intelligent than you and knows how to handle situations better.]

"Just give me the reward!" Vikram shouted in anger, hearing the Plant Life System didn’t let go of any chance to mock him.

[Congratulations, Host, for defeating the Zombie Leader and eliminating a large number of zombies with the assistance of your Plant Sprout Team.]

[Rewards Obtained:]

[Plant Essence +1,000,000 → -1,000,000 = 0]

[Tch, the useless host lost all his essence points.]

[Demonvine Seeds ×50 → -45 = 5 (Purple)]

[From a useless host, what else could be expected?]

[Mage Sprout Seeds ×10 → -10 = 0]

[The user can’t even use these properly. He still has three unused seeds but keeps them in his pocket like an idiot instead of expanding his army.]

[High Growth Acceleration ×10 → -10 = 0]

[First learn to use what you already have.]

[Vine Sniper Tower ×10 → -8 = 2]

[A rare structure-type plant. When planted, it grows into a tree-based sentry tower with an internal control core. Archer Sprouts or other ranged units can use it to monitor territory and attack enemies from long distances.]

[Finally... something gained.]

Vikram stared at the rewards in silence, his expression twitching slightly.

"...You really hate me, don’t you?" After all, with each reward, there were mocking notes of the Plant Life System.

Whatever he also knows, that he should be satisfied that he gains something, from the next time he will go with more preparation.

After picking up the treasure box, and since he was mostly recovered, he decided to first go and see how his team were doing, and how much time had passed.

---

After he arrived at Alex’s shelter, he found out that only one hour had passed.

Hearing this, he also felt relieved that not much time had passed, and also felt amazed at how the Wasteland System makes this thing possible.

"Good, now since I have promised, let’s open the treasure chests." Vikram said looking at the expecting eyes of others.

"Yes boss Vikram, open it," Others nodded, with excitement.

Seeing this, he felt happy, now he also has a group to share his happiness (it was different, that they are just his slave group).

Looking towards the luxurious golden carvings on the golden box, Vikram placed his hand on the chest’s clasp.

"Click!"

As a golden light flashed from within, the materials from the Legendary-level treasure chest were revealed before their eyes.

"Holy crap!" Seeing the treasure, Chandan, Alex, even Sunil all were mesmerized.

"Boss, you become so rich," They all were really surprised by the rewards. From the time they have come here, they haven’t seen anything like this.

RV, Motor Bike, Desert Eagle, Storage Ring and Virus Serum all were unique for them.

Vikram expressed his understanding. Even he was a little surprised to see these rewards, let the people behind him.

"Are these the items that can drop from a Legendary-level treasure chest?" Sunil Kumar murmured to himself, a little lost in thought.

Ignoring them, Vikram stepped forward and examined the only Legendary-level treasure in the box.

The ring was delicate and elegant, crafted in a soft silver-golden tone with a smooth, polished surface. Unlike ordinary equipment, it carried a subtle beauty, fine vine-like engravings curled along its band, and a faint pink crystal was embedded at the center, giving it a slightly feminine, almost graceful design.

When Vikram picked it up, a faint warmth spread through his palm, as if the ring was reacting to his presence.

Just as he was about to slide it onto his finger, a notification appeared.

[Storage Ring detected. Do you wish to bind this item?]

[Yes / No]

Vikram paused.

"...Bind?" he muttered under his breath. Something about it made him hesitate.

First it was a girly design, and second, he thought it should be given as a gift. Yeah, he was also boosting +20 to the person, but it was ok.

Thinking of this, he stopped midway and lowered his hand. The ring never reached his finger.

"No."

The option disappeared instantly.

The faint connection that had begun to form, vanished.The ring returned to being just an item in his hand.

He took out the RV, and it already appeared on the side, followed by Motorbike, Desert Eagle, Virus Serum, and Ammunition all he took out.

And the luxurious treasure chest generated by the relic disappeared with them.

With all the spoils of this trip now in his pocket, Vikram turned to look at them.

"Boss, you have become so rich," Alex said looking at the reward, while also looking at the material he will gain.

Since they are human , seeing the treasure they felt both jealous and envious. But they also saw how easily the Boss’s plant team has killed the Zombie Leader. And this time, they also have two more.

So jealousy and greed was one side, but life is one side, and they care about both their life and loyalty to Vikram.

Even after eating all the meat, he will just throw some bone at them, it was also enough for them.

"Hehe, Don’t worry, I also have something for both of you," Saying that, he took the two Desert Eagle and pointed it towards Alex and Chandan.

"Boss, is it really for us?" Alex can’t believe that their boss was giving them the Epic Tier Desert Eagle.

"If not for you, then who?" Vikram asked, looking at them. "Just take it, and if you continue serving me, you will not be left behind in this Wasteland."

If it was before he visited Cameron Town, he would hesitate to give the guns, even though he has an M416. But after visiting, he understood, he also needs teammates.

Because the 50,000 Zombies was still ok, who can say, what will come later.

Hearing the confirmation, both Chandan and Alex took the gun.

Then he took out one Virus Serum, and also gave them. Since Zombies have appeared in ruins, who can say they will not start appearing later.

He then also took out the Motor Bike and gave them.

"Boss, are you really giving us the bike," They didn’t believe it immediately, after all, it was a bike, and they were gaining it in the Wasteland. It means they will cross several steps forward.

"Don’t worry, just as I said previously, do what I want, serve me properly, and there is nothing impossible to gain."
