Chapter Title: Ways to Earn Points
Now that a skill for using a crossbow had appeared, it was time to get a crossbow.
In the game, you could farm them from gun shops or craft them with materials, but I had no idea how to get one in reality.
'This is when the AI should give me a hint.'
Status Window functions have been upgraded and new items added. Refer to Zombie AI for details.
A notice popped up in the air, followed by the Zombie AI.
'Her outfit changed.'
[Ta-da~ Costume DLC updated! What do you think? It's military look!]
'It's pretty revealing for a uniform... but it suits you. Why the military look?'
[I put it on to celebrate the new Weapons category. Can't you feel it just from the outfit?]
'Weapons category?'
[Yes! Just like you said, Seung-hyun, the Status Window is real. You can buy weapons too!]
The Zombie AI's energy seemed to be rising day by day.
And they even sold weapons in the Point Shop.
In the game, getting weapons was tough unless you were military or police.
But here, as long as you had points, you could buy them right away.
I'd have to get one for each girl with a weapon skill.
I hurriedly opened the Status Window.
Sure enough, the Weapons category was there, just as the AI said.
Inside, only the crossbow was listed for now.
It seemed like weapons would be added one by one as we acquired related skills.
A weapon that mechanically tensions and releases the string to fire bolts. Can only be used by slaves with the Crossbow skill. Unlimited bolts.
Price: 5,000pt
'Uwaaaah, 5,000 points! Why is it so expensive?'
[That's why I told you not to waste points and save them up. The crossbow is the cheapest weapon, so don't be shocked yet.]
To crank out the difficulty, I'd need a ton of points.
[If you buy the crossbow, I'll tell you the precautions.]
I bought the crossbow, and points were deducted as it went into my inventory.
[Pass it to a slave with the Crossbow skill, and it binds to their equipment. It won't break and needs no maintenance. Think of it as game gear. Bolts are unlimited, but there's a delay. Raise the Crossbow skill level to reduce delay.]
'Does the level only reduce delay?'
[No. Delay decreases, and Accuracy and Power increase.]
Accuracy starts at 30% and rises for more precise hits on enemies.
Power starts at 1, dealing more damage the higher it goes.
In other words, Accuracy, Power, and Delay were the crossbow's stats.
[I think that's enough on the crossbow. There's one more new item.]
'What is it?'
The Zombie AI vanished and reappeared in a different outfit.
[Ta-da~]
'What's this costume?'
[Don't mind the clothes. Look for something else. Notice anything different?]
There was a strange tattoo below her navel.
'That below the navel?'
[Right! It's a womb tattoo. Available in the Sex category.]
They were coming out with all sorts of things now.
Sure enough, the womb tattoo was in the Sex category.
A tattoo on the groin or lower abdomen, an element of sexual fetishism. Can only be applied to slaves. Slaves with this tattoo react more sensitively during sex with the player.
Price: 3,000pt
It cost a whopping 3,000 points.
A tattoo more expensive than a generator?
'Why would I buy something like this? You told me to save points.'
If I wanted to heighten sensitivity, I could just buy the cheap Sensitivity Adjustment Kit.
[It's not just for looks. With this tattoo, you earn more points. I added it specially since you'll need points for a lot from now on.]
'What?'
I perked up at the mention of earning more points.
[Sex gives 200 points, right?]
'Yeah.'
I got 200 points when I came or the girls climaxed.
[With a slave who has the womb tattoo, you get more points. Min 200, max 20,000. It's random, but satisfying the slave increases the odds. How about it? Still not buying?]
Whoa, it was like free money on top of money.
Not some shell game.
I bought it right away.
I got two, for Bo-ra and Ji-eun.
Just a 3,000-point investment for a permanent roulette spin.
If I played it right, I could rake in 20,000 points.
[That's all the explanations. See you next time~]
She waved and disappeared.
With the AI gone, time started flowing again.
"Really? Unnie's a slave now too?"
When I told her Ji-eun had transferred, slave number one Bo-ra grabbed her hand and jumped around.
Was this such a big deal?
"But... I don't feel much different. My body feels a bit lighter?"
"You won't notice at first. Over time, you'll tire less, hear better, see farther. Strength goes up, of course. You saw me swing that golf club, right?"
Her cheeks flushed as she bragged openly.
"And... I found out something amazing recently."
"What?"
"It feels even... better with Master."
*Ding~*
It couldn't be, but a bell rang in the air anyway.
Rodger pulled out, and the three girls around us widened their eyes.
""Even... better?""
"Yes. Try it later. You'll feel the difference."
Ji-eun looked at me with burning eyes.
She was ready for round two right now.
"Not now. We've delayed enough already."
"Tch."
I looked around and said,
"Let's head to the market. Tell me right away if you see the gym sign."
"That looks like the gym."
Roji pointed to the second floor of a building.
Signs like "Boxing Diet, Guaranteed 5kg Loss in 1 Month" were on the windows.
Bloody handprints were smeared between the letters.
They couldn't come down the stairs, so zombies were probably still inside.
"Zombies inside for sure. Roji and Bo-ra come up with me. You three wait midway on the stairs."
""Got it.""
I'd thought to test Ji-eun's shooting, but with zombies likely swarming in tight spaces, I changed my mind.
Melee from me, Roji, and Bo-ra would suffice here.
We climbed to the second floor.
"Grrr..."
As we neared the gym entrance, a phlegmy growl sounded.
No telling how many, but zombies were no match for us anymore.
I picked up the cart from home.
"I'll block with this. Stay back and smash their heads. Heart shots work too."
I'd block while they attacked to build combat experience.
I signaled with my eyes, positioned the cart, and entered.
Five or six shambled around the central ring.
"Kraaaah—!!"
They spotted us and closed in like a net.
I swung the cart side to side, herding them to one side for easy attacks.
"Yah!!"
"Haat—!!"
Thud!
Kwach!
With each dull burst, heads flew or bodies crumpled.
The first five hit the floor in seconds.
Two more over the ring were handled by Bo-ra and Roji.
One thrashed in exercise gear, so I crushed its head with the cart.
Acquired 10 points.
There had been ten zombies in the gym.
A boxing ring sat in the center, sandbags hung between pillars and walls.
Typical gym with various machines against the inner walls.
"How much can we take?"
Roji's eyes lit up at the equipment.
"No electric stuff. Grab whatever else fits. Preferably cart-loadable."
"Okay."
We prioritized basics: dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells.
Small enough for the car, usable as weapons in a pinch.
Three pieces Roji picked filled the cart nearly full.
Last, a movable sandbag stand on top.
Gloves, mouthpieces, headgear went to the girls.
All for Roji's boxing lessons.
"Can't stack more. This is it."
From gym equipment farming to outdoor sex, slave transfers, crossbow and womb tattoos—a fulfilling day.
On the way back, a zombie crawled from a distant alley.
Leg issues made it shuffle perfectly for crossbow practice.
"Let's take that one out before we go."
