Survival in the Apocalypse: Max Level Drop Rate with Abundant Resources

The lighting inside the store remained soft, a stark contrast to the outside.

Shen Xi stood before the floating light screen, not in a hurry to activate the Dominator System. He needed to do one thing first: take stock of his current equipment and plan his next procurement list.

"Mingying's equipment really needs to be changed."

With a thought, he opened the equipment panels of the two people and examined them carefully.

[Current Equipment of the Primordial Era]:

Weapons: Corrupted Bone Battle Axe (Silver), Mine Owner's Bone Blade (Silver)

Head: Bone-covered conical hat (bronze)

Shoulders: None

Top: None

Belt: None

Pants: Bone Spike Leggings (Bronze)

Shoes: Bone Nightmare Boots (Silver)

Cloak: Storm Cloak (Silver)

Necklace: Heart of Meditation (Silver)

Earrings: Glowing Earrings (Bronze)

Ring: Bone Blade Ring (Bronze)

Bracelet: Power Bracelet (Bronze)

Special Equipment: Starlight Rhythm Uniform (Diamond - Special)

Shen Xi's gaze lingered on the bronze-level equipment for a moment.

Bone Concealment Hat, Bone Thorn Leggings, Ghostly Earrings, Bone Blade Ring, Power Bracelet... These are all items dropped during the beginner and Corpse Mine periods. They've accompanied him all the way to now, and he's still only at the Bronze level. It's really time for him to retire.

Looking at Mingying's side, the situation was even more dire...

[Mingying's Current Equipment]:

Weapon: Bone Blade Dual Blades (Bronze grade, Durability 8/40)

Head: None

Shoulders: None

Top: None

Belt: None

Pants: None

Shoes: None

Cloak: None

Necklace: None

Earrings: None

Ring: Bone Blade Ring (Bronze grade, Durability 12/30)

Bracelet: Bone Blade Armguards (Bronze grade, Durability 15/35)

Special equipment: None

Aside from a pair of dual swords, a ring, and a pair of arm guards, Mingying had no other equipment.

Shen Xi's lips twitched slightly.

This isn't a level 10 player; this is practically running around naked.

"It's my fault for letting him down. No wonder I was beaten so badly in the deathmatch arena." He shook his head. "It's a miracle I lasted that long with my bronze armor in such poor condition."

Next, we need to take Mingying to change her class. Whether it's Asura or Blood Berserker, the class change dungeon is almost always a death sentence. With Mingying's current equipment level, going in would basically be suicide.

Therefore, we must arm the two of them to the teeth for this trip today.

Shen Xi took a deep breath and looked at the floating light screens.

[Equipment Section]:

Bronze-level equipment: 100-500 gold coins

Silver-tier equipment: 1000-5000 gold coins

[Skills Section]:

Bronze-level skills: 300-800 gold coins

Silver-level skills: 2000-5000 gold coins

He glanced at his gold coin balance: 54963.

More than 50,000 gold coins sounds like a lot, but there are also many things to buy.

Shen Xi didn't rush to start, but instead took out paper and pen and made a list first...

First, the equipment you need: headgear (hat/mask), shoulders, belt, earrings, rings, and bracelets—all replaced with silver-grade items. Your top, shoes, cloak, and necklace are already silver-grade or higher, so no need to change them. For weapons, you have the Corrupted Bone Battle Axe and the Mine Owner's Bone Blade, both silver-grade, which is sufficient.

Secondly, there's the equipment Mingying needs: weapons (dual swords can be replaced with silver), headgear, shoulders, top, belt, pants, shoes, cloak, necklace, earrings, rings, bracelets... basically, everything except underwear needs to be bought.

Regarding skills: You have Whirlwind Triple Slash (Silver), Bloodlust Berserk (Silver), and Bloodlust Charge (Bronze). You could consider replacing Bloodlust Charge. Mingying has Resentment Burst (Legendary) and Resentment Slash (Bronze). The Legendary skill doesn't need to be replaced, but the Bronze-level Resentment Slash is worth considering.

Finally, there are items such as Molotov cocktails and Eye of the Watcher. Although I have some in stock, the more the better.

Shen Xi roughly estimated that if they bought everything at the lowest price for silver-grade items, the two of them together would need at least...

Self: Head, shoulders, top, belt, earrings, ring, bracelet, totaling 7000 gold coins.

Mingying: Weapon, head, shoulders, top, belt, pants, shoes, cloak, necklace, earrings, ring, bracelet, totaling 12000 gold coins.

Skills: Change your own skill to a silver-level attack skill, and change Mingying's skill to a silver-level attack skill, for a total of 6000 gold coins.

Items: Stock up on various consumables, about 2000 gold coins.

Total: 27000 gold coins.

This is just the lowest price. If you get one with good attributes and useful special effects, the price will go up.

"Twenty-seven thousand..." Shen Xi murmured, "If I spend it sparingly, it should be enough."

Without further hesitation, he began to act.

First and foremost, it's about yourself.

Shen Xi's gaze swept quickly across the light screen in the equipment area. These were just ordinary goods, and their real information would be marked.

【骨魇面罩（白银级）——防御18-24，特效：恐吓（攻击时5%概率使敌人恐惧1秒），售价：1800金币】

【Shadow Hat (Silver Tier) - Defense 15-20, Special Effect: Concealment (Reduces footsteps by 80% when moving), Price: 1500 Gold】

【血怒肩甲（白银级）——防御22-28，特效：血怒（生命值低于30%时攻击力+15%），售价：2200金币】

【…】

Shen Xi quickly filtered the items, only buying those with good attributes and practical special effects.

Fifteen minutes later,

His new equipment list is out...

Head: [Shadow Hat] (Silver Tier), 1500 Gold. Effect: Stealth (Reduces footsteps by 80% when moving).

Shoulders: [Bloodrage Shoulder Armor] (Silver Tier), 2200 Gold. Special Effect: Bloodrage (Attack Power +15% when Health is below 30%).

Top: [Bone Armor] (Silver Grade), 3000 Gold Coins. Defense 30-38, Special Effect: Iron Wall (Block Success Rate +15%).

Belt: [Thorn Belt] (Silver Grade), 1800 Gold. Defense 20-26, Special Effect: Thorns (Reflects 15% damage when attacked by melee attacks).

Earrings: [Whispering Earrings] (Silver Grade), 1600 Gold. Spirit +5, Special Effect: Wind Sound (Perception Range +10%).

Earrings: [Whispering Earrings] (Silver Grade), 1600 Gold. Spirit +5, Special Effect: Wind Sound (Perception Range +10%).

Ring: [Bloodlust Ring] (Silver Grade), 2000 Gold. Strength +5, Special Effect: Bloodlust (5% life steal on attack).

Bracelet: [Guardian Bracelet] (Silver Grade), 1700 Gold. Constitution +5, Special Effect: Guardian (Retains 1 point of health when receiving fatal damage, 24-hour cooldown).

Total: 13800 gold coins.

Shen Xi's lips twitched slightly.

I haven't even bought the skills yet, and I've already exceeded my budget.

But there's no way around it; all these pieces of equipment have excellent stats, especially that Guardian Bracelet, a life-saving artifact—I have to get it.

On a whim, he bought all the equipment.

With a flash of golden light, six pieces of silver-grade equipment fell into his hands.

Shen Xi immediately dressed herself...

A shadow hat covered most of his face; Bloodrage shoulder armor clung to his shoulders, its dark red patterns subtly flowing; bone armor adorned his body, its white bone structure clearly visible; a thorn belt was fastened around his waist, its barbs concealed on the inside; Wind Whisper earrings hung from his left ear, tinkling softly in the breeze; a Bloodthirsty ring was worn on his left ring finger, its face as red as blood; a Guardian bracelet fastened to his right wrist, its warm current flowing down his arm into his body.

In addition to the existing Starlight Rhythm Uniform, Bone Nightmare Boots, Storm Cloak, Heart of Meditation, Corrupted Bone Battle Axe, and Mine Owner's Bone Blade...

At this moment, Shen Xi was wearing silver-grade equipment from head to toe, except for a few bronze ornaments that she had changed.

He clenched his fist, feeling the power surging within him.

Strength: 102 + 5 = 107

[Spiritual Energy: 55 + 13 = 68]

[Agility: 68]

[Physical Fitness: 102 + 5 = 107]

The attributes have increased again.

Next are skills.

Shen Xi opened the skill area and glanced at the silver-level skill light screens.

[Bloodlust Charge (Bronze)] definitely needs to be replaced.

He quickly chose one...

【Bloodthirsty Thrust (Silver Tier)】: Dashes 15 meters in a designated direction, dealing 200% damage to the first enemy in its path and stunning them for 1.5 seconds. Cooldown is reset if the target is killed. Price: 3200 Gold.

It has a 5-meter longer range than the Bronze-level Bloodlust Charge, the damage has increased from 150% to 200%, the stun duration has been extended from 1 second to 1.5 seconds, and most importantly, the cooldown is reset on kill!

Shen Xi bought it without hesitation.

[Congratulations on obtaining the Silver-tier skill: Bloodthirsty Thrust!]

With a slight thought, the Bloodthirsty Charge icon in the skill bar slowly changed, and a new skill icon appeared.

My skill setup is now: Whirlwind Triple Slash (Silver), Bloodlust Berserk (Silver), and Bloodlust Thrust (Silver). Three Silver skills are enough.

Shen Xi looked at her gold coin balance: 54963-13800-3200=37936.

There are still less than 40,000 left.

Next up is Mingying's main event.

Shen Xi turned to look at the door.

Mingying remained standing there silently, looking at him now, his tattered clothes indeed making him look rather shabby.

"Come in," Shen Xi said.

Mingying paused for a moment, then stepped into the store.

Shen Xi pointed at the light screens: "Stand there and don't move."

He opened Mingying's equipment panel and began a frenzied buying spree...

As Shen Xi made her purchases, she calculated the bill, and the twitching at the corner of her mouth became increasingly noticeable.
