Qin Shilei cast his gaze towards Zhang Xiaoli.
[Perform attribute refresh?]
[Refresh.]
Wood Elf (Green): Possesses ordinary wood elf talents, is more attuned to nature, and will find it easier to cast wood-attribute abilities. Archery talent will also be enhanced.
Lucky Star (Purple): You always trigger fortunate events; your luck is exceptionally good.
Wood Clone (Orange): An ability derived from the divine tree Jianmu. Once this attribute is fixed, you will gradually awaken various wood clone techniques. Under the augmentation of wood clone techniques, the power of your existing wood-attribute abilities will double.
He wondered if his luck had improved after advancing to the Silver realm, as he had managed to refresh another orange attribute on Zhang Xiaoli.
Qin Shilei replaced the "double mental power" attribute with the "Wood Clone" attribute.
Zhang Xiaoli, who had been continuously using her abilities to kill zombies, suddenly stopped. She seemed lost in thought, completely motionless.
Enlightenment?
Qin Shilei suddenly thought of the term.
After more than ten minutes, a sharp glint flashed through Zhang Xiaoli's eyes.
Cloning Technique!
Suddenly, a figure identical to Zhang Xiaoli appeared beside her.
Qin Shilei circled the newly appeared wood clone several times but could find no discernible difference between it and Zhang Xiaoli's original body.
"Heh heh!"
Zhang Xiaoli burst into laughter. "Brother Qin, am I a genius? I actually figured out a wood clone."
Qin Shilei smiled and said, "You are indeed a genius. I wonder what your wood clone can do?"
Zhang Xiaoli suddenly leaned close to Qin Shilei's ear and whispered, "Two identical ones, do you like it?"
"Xiaoli is always so demure, I didn't expect her to know men's hearts so well!" A hint of desire flickered in Qin Shilei's eyes.
No, Xiaoli isn't as conservative as she appears. He'd found many pictures of handsome men in her drone's storage earlier.
Wood Clone!
Wood!
Playing with a piece of wood?
Qin Shilei suddenly felt a bit odd and, putting on a stern face, said, "This is a combat skill. No fooling around with other things."
"Husband!" Zhang Xiaoli took Qin Shilei's hand and pouted, "I can have all the senses of my clone. Just play with me for a bit, I promise you won't be disappointed."
Before Qin Shilei could respond, Kong Qingshu, not far away, said indignantly, "Can you two go home and show off your affection? I'm about to choke on your PDA."
Zhang Xiaoli's pretty face instantly turned crimson.
"My voice was pretty quiet just now, right?"
"Sister Qingshu probably didn't hear what I said, right?"
Qin Shilei playfully flicked Zhang Xiaoli's pert nose and chuckled, "So you get shy too? Quickly, let's test the strength of the wood clone."
"This can also be a life skill," Zhang Xiaoli muttered softly, but she still directed the wood clone to cast a few abilities.
The power was about half of what Zhang Xiaoli herself could unleash.
A few minutes later, the wood clone began to fade and then vanished like foam.
Zhang Xiaoli explained, "The energy is depleted."
Qin Shilei asked, "If it's not used for combat, how long can it last? And how far can this clone move away from you?"
"Let me try." Zhang Xiaoli formed a hand seal and summoned another wood clone, then directed it to run into the distance.
After a while, she said again, "It can go about a thousand meters away from me at most. If my mental power grows stronger in the future, it should be able to go even further."
Qin Shilei nodded. "Not bad. This clone can be used not only for combat but also for reconnaissance of dangerous situations."
Finally, through testing, the wood clone could last at least two to three hours when not engaged in intense combat.
Furthermore, when Zhang Xiaoli actively dispelled the wood clone, it would transform into countless tough vines that would entangle the target.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaoli had actually comprehended such a powerful skill, Kong Qingshu walked over and said enviously, "Xiaoli, can you tell Sister Qingshu how to comprehend skills?"
"Like this, and this, and then like this," Zhang Xiaoli gestured and explained how she comprehended skills.
Seeing Zhang Xiaoli imparting her experience, Zhang Qiang and the others also put aside their zombies and hurried over to listen attentively.
Looking at her serious demeanor, Qin Shilei wasn't sure if she was genuinely explaining how she comprehended skills or just making it up.
In any case, Qin Shilei was absolutely convinced that Kong Qingshu and the others couldn't comprehend skills this way.
Thinking that his luck was still good, Qin Shilei took the Spirit Wood Heart and other equipment from Zhang Xiaoli and refreshed the attributes one by one.
Perhaps his luck had been exhausted after refreshing the orange "Wood Clone" attribute, as all he got were green attributes.
Qin Shilei already had 12 fixed attributes, so he casually fixed them to all the equipment.
...
At noon.
Qin Shilei left Zhang Xiaoli and the others and rode Xiao Qiang, patrolling the sky over Nanzhuang City.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and pointing to a small plaza below, he instructed, "Xiao Qiang, there."
"Screech!" Xiao Qiang let out a cry and swooped down towards a tall figure in the plaza.
When Qin Shilei was about five or six meters from the ground, he leaped off and landed.
Then, he transformed into a zombie slayer and chopped down all the Tyrant zombies and dozens of mutated zombies present.
He then remounted Xiao Qiang and continued searching for powerful zombies within the city.
This would not only fulfill his agreement with Kong Zhendong but also yield countless spoils of war. Why not do it?
Occasionally, he would see distress signals from the military and would quickly head over to rescue the soldiers.
When Qin Shilei jumped off Xiao Qiang's back again, preparing to kill a mutated zombie in front of a shopping mall, that group of mutated zombies surprisingly turned and fled into the mall.
"They're running before we even fight?" Qin Shilei pursued them into the mall like lightning.
However, the moment he stepped into the mall, he felt something was wrong.
There seemed to be more zombies here. The corridors and aisles were densely packed with them.
And the proportion of mutated zombies was frighteningly high.
There were at least a dozen Tyrant zombies.
And dozens of disgusting self-exploding zombies.
"Welcome to the zombie paradise I've prepared for you."
Suddenly, a voice echoed from the balcony on the third floor.
"An intelligent zombie with the ability to speak?" Qin Shilei looked up at the zombie on the third floor wearing a brand-new suit.
"No," the zombie waved its hand. "I am the noble King of Zombies."
"So, it's a newly evolved Zombie King," Qin Shilei realized with a sudden understanding.
The old Zombie King had already been killed by Qin Shilei, so it was natural for a new one to appear among the millions of zombies in Nanzhuang City.
"How dare you slaughter so many of my subjects!" the Zombie King roared ferociously. "Now, enjoy the sea of corpses I've prepared for you!"
With the Zombie King's roar, the previously quiet mall suddenly became chaotic.
Countless zombies hidden within the shops rushed out.
Qin Shilei roughly estimated that there were several thousand zombies in the mall, with mutated zombies making up more than half.
Innumerable zombies roared and surged towards Qin Shilei, as if they were about to tear him apart and devour him in the next moment.
