Chapter 245
Max quickly checked his current status.[ Name: Max ][ Title: Expert Survivor, Trailblazer, Stronghold Defender, Guardian, Strongest One ][ Guild: Codebreakers ][ Level: 35 ][ Health: 2,640/2,640 ][ Spirit: 411/411 ][ Physique Rating: C+ ][ Talent: Infinite Cache (SSS) ][ Active Skills: Spirit Pulse Lv5, Specter Step Lv5, Fast Appraisal Lv5, Beast Arm Lv0 ][ Passive Skills: Keen Sense Lv5, Bio Adaptive Constitution Lv5, Battle Trance Lv5, Bronze Skin Lv5 ][ Skill Points: 11 ][ Reputation Points: 201 ][ Inventory Slots: 9 ]The only skill still at Level 0 was Beast Arm.Max used five of his Skill Points and raised it directly to Level 5.Once that was done, he finally headed toward Jett’s workshop.The familiar smell of oil and scorched alloy greeted him as soon as he entered the area. He had come to test the modified Dragoons Jett had recently repaired.However, before Max could even reach the workshop, he noticed a crowd gathered outside.Apparently, everyone wanted to se

Max scrolled farther down the list, and a smile appeared when he saw the next item.[ High-Grade EMP Grenade ] [ 3/3 ][ Cost: 30 RP ][ Effect: Emits a concentrated electromagnetic pulse on detonation. Immediately disables drones, turrets, and mechanical units within a 100-meter radius. Effective even against shielded constructs. ]Max remembered that the Gene Traders also sold EMP Grenades for 10,000 Experience Points.Since he had been stuck at the level cap, he had already bought a couple of them before.This version, however, was clearly superior.Unfortunately, it also came with a much higher price.Reputation Points were not easy to earn, and spending thirty of them on a single-use grenade felt excessive to Max.The hundred-meter range was certainly impressive, but he already had other options he could rely on during an emergency.For now, he moved on to the next item.This one immediately caught his attention.[ Neural Gear Interface ] [ 1/1 ][ Cost: 200 RP ][ Effect: A devi

[ Gene Weapon Awakened: War Lance ][ Grade: Low ][ Type: Piercing Lance ][ Effects: +12% Piercing Damage. Attacks ignore 10% of the enemy defense. Effective against armored targets. ][ Secondary Effect: Perfect Thrust - repeated strikes on the same point increase penetration chance. After three consecutive hits on the same spot, the next thrust guarantees armor break. Cooldown: 3 second.Activation Cost: 12 Spirit Energy per activation ][ Durability: 50/50 ]Max wrapped his hand around the lance and tested its balance.It was noticeably heavier than a sword, but that extra weight came with a clear advantage. The weapon had far greater reach, and its ability to pierce armor was something Max could immediately appreciate.“A lance… finally, something for range and armor penetration,” he muttered. “But low-grade… it won’t be enough.”His attention went to the glowing crystal in his inventory.[ Prototype Gene Weapon Core x1 ][ Effect: Can be bound to a Gene Weapon to unlock hidden
Chapter 242
[ New Gene Skill Acquired! ][ Skill: Beast Arm (Level 0) ][ Type: Active ][ Description: Temporarily transforms the user’s right arm into a beast-like appendage, increasing raw strength and impact force.Strikes deal +25% bonus damage and can fracture defensive barriers.Duration: 20 seconds.Cooldown: 120 seconds. ][ Activation Cost: 70 SP ][ Note: Transformation places strain on the body. Overuse may cause fatigue or minor tissue damage. ]Max stared at his right arm as the faint glow disappeared.For a moment, he had seen claws forming over his fingers and his forearm swelling with a strange, unnatural strength. Now everything had returned to normal. He flexed his hand, still remembering the uncomfortable weight that had filled his arm during the transformation.“…Beast Arm,” he muttered. “Interesting.”He threw a punch toward the wall but stopped just before his fist could make contact.Even without activating the skill, he could already sense what it was capable of. It was c

[ Congratulations! Monthly Rankings Concluded! ][ Survivor Leaderboard - Cycle 2 Complete ][ Requirement: Level 10+ ][ All calculations finalized. Rewards are now being distributed. ][ Congratulations, Survivor Max! ][ You have achieved Rank 1 in the Monthly Leaderboard. ][ Special Rewards have been granted. ]“Whoa… Another month had passed, huh…” Max muttered, surprised that he had somehow remained Rank 1 even after being stuck at Level 30.‘I guess it’s because I’m the first to reach Level 30…’By now, several other survivors had also reached Level 30.Aya herself had already reached the same level after the last Global Event.At this point, it would not be surprising if Max checked the Guild Leaderboard and discovered several other Guilds had survivors around the same level.The reason he and most of those survivors were stuck at Level 30 was simple.The requirements for reaching the next level were extremely difficult.They needed to absorb ten B-Grade Energy Cores, raise f
Chapter 240
About an hour earlier, Aya had been sitting with the newcomers while they ate, doing her best to make them feel more comfortable.She started with simple questions. Where had they come from? How long had they been traveling? What had they encountered in the Grid Region?None of those questions revealed anything particularly sensitive, and Aya was willing to exchange information in return by telling them about the Ark Region.Nadia, who still had her pack close to her, eventually decided to speak.“We saw more than Reapers, Hounds, and Dragoons out there,” she said quietly. “There’s another type of machine… one we haven’t seen mentioned in the chat after entering Ark Region.”Henry nodded and continued the explanation.“They’re called Xcavators. Mechanical units built for tunneling. They move underground, using grinder-like heads to chew through soil, rock, even the hardest concrete…”Aya paused.This really was new information.Since entering the Ark Region, she had never heard anyone
