Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

As Lin Yu watched the crystal cores disappear one by one, Chen Jing'er's aura also rose slightly.

"Bang"

at last.

The last crystal core transformed into energy and entered Chen Jing'er's body, causing her to tremble.

In that very instant.

[Congratulations to all survivors! Someone has reached the forefront of evolution and successfully advanced to Level 5. Global survivor information access rules and various functions are now available for exploration.]

A familiar voice echoed in my mind.

[Code Name: Unnamed]

[Level: 0, Tier 3, 0%]

【Magic Power: 8600】

【Strength: 156】

[Physical Fitness: 56]

【Speed: 50】

【Spirit: 130】

[Talent: S-Rank Flame Controller: 62% Evolving]

[Flame Unlock Forms: Blazing Flame, Dragon's Flame (62% complete)]

Lin Yu brought up the attribute panel in his mind, and a subtle change occurred.

The addition of a code name column and progress bars for level and evolving talents make it more intuitive.

[The Magician!] (ps: changed to Emperor of Flames in the mid-game)

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu decided to continue using the code name from his previous life.

Although he wasn't very strong in his previous life, he focused on developing fire-based abilities and had a deep understanding of how to use fire.

It can be said.

He used his fire talent in various ways, and with the dazzling and gorgeous flames, he was known by many as the Fire Magician.

Lin Yu looked at the panel in his mind. In addition to the attribute panel, a regional chat channel appeared in the lower left corner.

A leaderboard and forum appeared in the upper right corner, while a trading system and evolution points appeared in the lower right corner.

Evolution Point: 628

In the early stages, evolution points can only be obtained by killing zombies. Killing a level 0 zombie grants 1 evolution point, while killing a level 1 zombie grants 10 evolution points.

Within the regional channel.

As long as you have a thought, what you want to say will automatically be written down and sent out.

"What the hell is this? Has the game come to life?"

"Brothers, my roommate got bitten and turned into a zombie, searching for me everywhere. I've been hiding in the bathroom for two days, I'm hungry and sleepy, someone please save me..."

"Everyone says that Xu Xian, Nie Caichen, and Dong Yong are the three most extraordinary men in the world, and I think we can add me to that list now!"

Inside a villa in Hwaseong.

The naked young man looked at the naked zombie on the bed whose neck he had twisted, and felt a wave of nausea.

The woman was grabbed by a zombie but didn't pay attention. As a result, while the two were practicing the "Kun Character Technique", the zombie suddenly turned into a zombie.

This is an indelible shadow for anyone.

"I saw some people here can breathe fire, is that a superpower?"

"Haha, I've awakened my B-grade talent: Mighty Punch! One punch and I blew the zombie's head off!"

"Looking for a mentor!"

"Brother, save me! I can warm your bed!"

The regional channels were flooded with messages at breakneck speed. Lin Yu glanced at them casually, then, on a whim, clicked on the leaderboard.

Currently, there are only 2 main lists and 2 sub-lists.

Great Xia Rank Ranking, Great Xia Evolution Point Ranking, Yunnan Province Rank Ranking, Yunnan Province Evolution Point Ranking.

Currently, only one person is listed on both the Great Xia Rank Ranking and the Yun Province Rank Ranking.

First place: Unnamed.

Everyone knows that this guy was definitely the first to reach level 5, and it was because of him that the new rules came into being.

Only those who reach level 5 will be listed.

Lin Yu knew that the first place winner was naturally Chen Jing'er.

Open the Evolution Point Ranking, and you'll see a lot of people on the list, most of whom are unnamed.

At the top of the list is:

First place: Magician, 628 evolution points

Second place: Unnamed, 86 evolution points

Third place: Unnamed, 72 evolution points

……

"Holy crap, look at the leaderboard!"

"Who is that magician? His evolution points are a terrifying 628!"

"This must be a top-tier player who has awakened an S-rank talent!"

"The big boss is actually in our Yunnan province! Could you please come and save us? There are still hundreds of survivors in our community!"

"Those upstairs are dreaming. This is the apocalypse, everyone's too busy to save you."

"Exactly! In this world, you can only save yourself. The most reliable thing to do is go out and kill zombies to level up!"

"What the hell? I'm completely defenseless, and I've been starving for almost two days. I'd be better off going out to deliver food to zombies!"

The regional channel was in an uproar.

Lin Yu didn't even look at it, and followed the plan to enter the trading system.

Currently, it only supports domestic transactions and cannot be traded worldwide.

He divided all the zombie crystal cores and listed them one by one on the trading market.

[Exchange 3 zombie crystal cores for 1 green fruit!]

[Exchange 10 zombie crystal cores for 1 yellow fruit!]

After the transaction order was posted, the space in front of him fluctuated, and a spatial rift appeared. Lin Yu was not surprised at all.

He threw all the zombie crystal cores in his hand into it; this was the rule to retrieve his traded items.

No one can explain this phenomenon; it is only speculated that it is the result of the embodiment of rules.

After all, this isn't a game; everything is data and code. With just a click, the items are automatically traded successfully.

This is a genuine goods transaction, where the rules take over the traded items and bring the other party's items back.

After placing the trading order, Lin Yu went to the forum.

At this moment, in the forum...

There are already many posts, including various casual posts, as well as quite a few technical and discussion posts.

At the very top of the list is a post introducing the effects of attribute fruits.

Lin Yu used his mental energy to browse through the information, and found that the descriptions were mostly accurate and comprehensive.

Then, he wrote a post.

The item is titled "[Long-term validity: Exchange zombie crystal cores for magic fruits to level up quickly and survive in the apocalypse]".

In the post, he focused on the crystal cores required for the upgrade and the changes in attributes after the upgrade.

It was also emphasized that eating the fruit is like opening a blind box; no one knows what kind of fruit it is until it is absorbed.

If it's a magic fruit, a mental fruit, or a physical fruit, it doesn't currently offer much of an improvement in combat power, and absorbing it doesn't necessarily mean you can kill zombies.

However, if you can exchange for a crystal core, after absorbing and upgrading it, all attributes will increase by 5, at which point killing ordinary zombies alone will not be a problem.

After writing the post, Lin Yu immediately paid 10 evolution points to pin it to the top of the list.

For other posts to rank ahead of him, they must offer a higher price.

Within a minute of posting, countless people had left comments below the thread.

"Taking advantage of someone's misfortune, they've lost all shame!"

"The person upstairs is talking nonsense. The expert is being fair. 20 crystal cores level up once, increasing all attributes by 5 points. 10 cores are equivalent to half a level, which is a total of 10 attribute points and 250 magic power. It is indeed more valuable than the 5 attribute points from the yellow fruit!"

"However, the attributes added by attribute fruits are extra and do not conflict with the attributes added by leveling up. I estimate that the difference is widened by attribute fruits."

"The person upstairs is right, but what if the fruit increases your mental strength? You'll either be killed by zombies or starve to death. It's better to upgrade with crystal cores; that's the only way to survive!"

The comments on the post kept flooding in, but Lin Yu ignored them.

He already mentioned in the post that he would list any extra crystal cores on the trading market.

After posting, Lin Yu opened the trading market again, and his order had already been placed.

Because he only had 88 crystal cores, all of which had been exchanged for fruits, his order was naturally removed.
