Chapter 66 Successfully Reached Level 3
"Leave it to me, I'll take care of it," David said as he took the items from Sally's hand and placed her aside. Then, he took out some ingredients and placed them on the table, saying to her, "If you really want to help, why don't you study your cooking skills?"
After all, Sally's cooking skills didn't seem that great. Blushing slightly at David's remark, Sally murmured, "Last time was definitely a mistake."
However, David was willing to believe in her and gave her another chance. This time, she had to perform well and not waste David's ingredients.
Determined, Sally stood up and carried the ingredients into the kitchen. While David finished arranging everything, Sally continued to work in the kitchen. David took a chair and placed it behind the door, blocking it with the chair.
Then, David sat on the sofa and took out the spatial artifacts. He had been wondering since the system upgrade if the duplication could be doubled again. Thinking about it, he started the process.
However, when he tried to store the duplicated artifacts back into the space, the system didn't provide any prompts. It seemed that the system wasn't foolish enough to let him exploit this loophole.
He had to obtain crystals the proper way. David sighed and took out the crystals from the space. Looking at the five crystals in his hand, he started absorbing them one by one, without any hesitation.
When he absorbed the first crystal, he felt a resistance from his body against the foreign energy. But as he absorbed the second and third crystals, the resistance within his body began to accept the power of the crystals. Soon, as David absorbed the last crystal, a tremendous change occurred in his entire body.
In the kitchen, Sally had been recording the cooking process with her phone. She looked at the boiling dish in the pot and carefully tasted it with a spoon after blowing on it. Satisfied, she turned off the stove and transferred the dish to a plate.
This time, David would surely be pleased with the dish. Filled with anticipation, Sally carried the dishes and walked out of the kitchen. As she reached the living room, she saw David sitting motionless on the sofa. She placed the dishes on the table and approached David. Just as she stood in front of him, David finished absorbing the crystals and opened his eyes.
"David?" Sally called his name softly, looking at him. David looked up with joy and embraced her.
David had reached Level 3! Just by absorbing five spatial crystals, he had advanced from Level 1 to Level 3. Although he had fewer than a hundred crystals left, if he continued at this rate of advancing two levels for five crystals, he would easily reach Level 10.
But the next moment, David dismissed this thought. Things couldn't be that easy. He released Sally from his embrace, looked at her apologetically, and lightly kissed her cheek. "I've reached Level 3," he whispered.
Sally froze midway through playing with her hair, unable to believe what she was hearing. Meanwhile, David raised his hand and lightly pinched the air beside him, opening a spatial door. He could tear open a door with a wave of his hand in any situation, and this door could lead to any place within ten meters of his sight. With another wave of his hand, the door disappeared.
This skill is perfect for both escaping and launching unexpected attacks on enemies,Sally looked at David's actions in surprise and said, "Isn't this similar to that zombie?" She didn't finish her sentence, but David nodded.
Sally smiled and quickly pushed him to the dining table. "This is what I made today, please taste it," she said, handing David a pair of chopsticks.
David smiled faintly and accepted them. Under her gaze, he picked up a piece of beef in front of him. As the beef entered his mouth, the smile on David's face stiffened.
Concerned, Sally immediately asked, "What's wrong? Did I make it too salty again?" David bit into the beef and slowly raised his head to look at her, then smiled and said, "It's perfect."
David was teasing her, and Sally's face immediately turned red. She hummed and lightly patted David's shoulder, saying, "If you tease me again, I won't cook for you next time!"
Hearing this, David couldn't help but want to laugh, but he quickly appeased Sally, saying, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."
He put down the chopsticks and leaned closer to Sally's ear. "It tastes really delicious this time," he whispered, lightly blowing on Sally's ear. Seeing her scold him playfully, David couldn't help but feel a strange sensation. It felt as if they were not in a post-apocalyptic world, but living a normal life as a couple.
If the zombie outbreak hadn't occurred, would he be with Sally? David shook his head, dispelling the thoughts from his mind. He stood up and served a bowl of rice for Sally. They took turns serving each other food, and soon they finished the dishes on the table.
[Quest: Store Crystals! ]
[One month left until the next major zombie outbreak. Please collect mutated crystals and form your own team during the remaining time. All resources you store during this period will receive a 100x critical hit bonus. Time remaining for the quest: 29 days, 10 hours, 0 minutes.]
Looking at the top right corner, the system's notification and the remaining time were displayed. It was time to go out and collect crystals. David stood up. "I'm going out for a while." After giving a few instructions, he was about to leave with Cola and Xiao Hei. However, Sally quickly walked over and hugged him from behind. Sally buried her chin in the nape of his neck and gently pleaded, "Can I go out with you this time? I don't want to stay home alone."
David paused for a moment. He had originally planned to take Brian with him. The purpose was to test Brian's character and whether he could be used for a long time. Bringing Sally along was not a bad idea either, considering she was already at Level 3. It was time to take her out for real combat. David turned around and embraced Sally, whispering, "Alright, I'll take you with me."
Seeing David agreeing, Sally was about to feel happy. But the next moment, David handed her a set of armor.
