Leveling up from 9 to 10 actually boosted his Vitality by 10 points. As for the Strength and Agility, he obtained 5 additional points for each of them.

Anyway, after confirming that he still had 145 Item Upgrade Crystals, Shane decided to upgrade his Hatchet!

With his Axe Mastery Skill, there was no doubt that his main weapon would be this Hatchet until he found a better-sized Axe in the Survivor Store. Well, he could also make an Axe with his Woodworking and Metalworking, but he still needed to find the tools he needed for that.

Soon, Shane took out 30 Crystals and placed them on top of the hatchet.

After a few moments, he got the notification he needed.

[ Upgrade Successful ] [ Exceptional Hatchet has been upgraded to Master Hatchet. ]

[ New Item Description is now available on the specific item. ]

[ Hatchet ( Master ): A fearsome axe that can slash through zombies with ease. It is made of a rare metal that shines with a bright red light, and has a curved blade. It can kill a zombie with a single hit, and can also cause bleed and burn effects. It is also useful for crafting and survival purposes, such as making fire or building shelters. Effects: +35% damage against Crawler, Walker, and Runner Zombies, +15% against Spitter Zombies, +20% Critical Chance, +30% Attack Speed Special Effects:

Ice: The hatchet is imbued with a freezing power that can chill zombies and make them brittle. It has a +50% chance of causing ice damage to zombies, and a +50% chance of slowing them down and making them vulnerable to critical hits.

Fire: The hatchet is imbued with a flaming power that can scorch zombies and make them panic. It has a +50% chance of causing fire damage to zombies, and a +50% chance of making them flee and spreading the fire to other zombies. Cost: 40 Spirit Points ]

"Awesome… It got a new skill!" Shane couldn't help but smile after seeing the two opposite elemental skills appearing in his hatchet. Furthermore, anyone could see the glowing effect of the item!

Yes, the red glow on the hatchet could be seen like in some games that Shane had seen before.

Nonetheless, although the new skill was more expensive in terms of Spirit Points, it had better effects on a horde of zombies.

This is certainly a great Master Rank Item!

After appreciating it for a while, Shane then proceeded to upgrade the Nail Bat to Master Rank as well!

[ Nail Bat ( Master ): A brutal weapon that can smash zombies with ease. It is made of a wooden bat with nails hammered into it, and has a leather grip. It can kill a zombie with a single hit, and can also cause bleed and stun effects. It is also useful for breaking through obstacles and doors, but has a low durability. Effects: +80% damage against Crawler, Walker, and Runner Zombies, +10% against Spitter Zombies, +25% Critical Chance, +15% Attack Speed Special Effect:

Swift: The item is enhanced with a speed boost that can make the user faster and more agile. It has a +100% chance of increasing the user's movement speed and dodge chance for a short duration. Cost: 25 Spirit Points

Shock: The nail bat is electrified with a high voltage that can shock zombies and make them twitch. It has a +60% chance of causing electric damage to zombies, and a +60% chance of paralyzing them and making them vulnerable to critical hits. Cost: 50 Spirit Points ]

"Whoa… You made it so much better! I'm worried that you no longer have enough Crystals for other items you need to upgrade. Think about it: this is only a Nail Bat, and it's too strong already! Shouldn't you wait for Swords or Guns or any better weapon? If they appear in your store next time, you may not have enough Crystals…" Anna reminded me as she saw Shane spending so many Item Upgrade Crystals. "I'm fine, Anna… I have a blessed hand. I can get more of them from the zombies." Shane said as he looked outside.

He saw Harper looking enviously. Well, Shane could only upgrade the items that he had received or bought from the system. "Ahem… You have that pocket knife, right? I can upgrade it to Master Rank as well." Shane said as he believed that he'd get more of these Crystals since the Zombie Wave hadn't ended yet.

"Ugh… I'll stick with my pickaxe, Sir Shane… If you find a pickaxe for me that you can upgrade, I'll be happy if it's Master Rank as well."

"A pickaxe? I can do that… Right, did you fix the pickaxe already?" "Yes… It can hold on for now… The skulls of the zombies weren't that tough anyway… As long as it's not used against those Leader types, this could last a long time."

Shane nodded at this as he decided to upgrade his jacket instead since it was already full of scratches.

[ Upgrade Successful ] [ Tier 3 Survivor Jacket has been upgraded to Tier 4 Survivor Jacket. ]

[ New Item Description is now available on the specific item. ]

[ Survivor Jacket ( Tier 4 ): A heavy and durable jacket that protects the upper body from zombie bites and scratches. It is made of leather and reinforced with titanium plates, and has several buckles and chains for adjusting the fit and attaching items. It emits a mysterious aura that provides high resistance to acid, ice, and fire effects. It is a good choice for survivors who want to maximize protection and intimidation. The aura gets stronger if you obtain Tier 4 Set Equipment.

Effects: +15 Physical Defense, +20% Acid Resistance, +15% Burn Resistance, +15% Ice Resistance Special Effects: Tough: +25% physical damage resistance. The jacket reduces physical damage, including pierce damage taken from zombies or other enemies. Critical Blocker: The item is fortified with a shield that can block critical hits from zombies. It has a +50% chance of negating the extra damage and effects from a critical hit, and reflecting some damage back to the attacker. ]
