I Bit Everyone and Became the Strongest Zombie Cultivator

Chapter 30: Giving What's Due

Luo Zehn helped me get up as I marveled at the havoc that I caused on the Si Shelter. It was a scene straight out of a gory movie with all the mutilated bodies scattered around. The sight couldn't even be compared to all the makeshift houses that I toppled during my rampage. Fortunately, there were no children who came out during the commotion. If they did, they would've been traumatized by what happened.

In conclusion, I was a tad bit afraid about what I could do once my body reverts back to being a mindless human that I swore an oath to myself.

That I would do everything in my power for this accident to never happen again in the future.

"Luo Zehn, can you please help me clean all of these up," I asked him. "We shouldn't let the kids see this. Assuming that there are kids."

"I'm pretty sure they are hidden in some sort of basement." Luo Zehn looked around for further proof of what he said. "They might've been eating their own kin but they had enough conscience to hide it from the kids. At least they weren't that heartless, don't you think?"

If it wasn't for me getting rid of them, they might've been able to redeem themselves once they moved out of the shelter and moved to another one. Then again, there's a small chance that they would continue living like this and eventually end up getting expelled out of a shelter.

No use thinking about it now.

"Let's look around," I suggested as I jerked my thumb to the rickety makeshift houses to the side of the shelter. "I mean, once we take care of the mess... I made."

Because we are cultivators, it didn't take long for us to dig a hole on the ground and bury all the bodies there. And for finishing touches, we put a tombstone on top of it.

"Young man... " Luo Zehn called out as I headed to investigate the area. "Can I... "

"Yeah?"

"Never mind."

Seems like Luo Zehn wanted to ask me something but he couldn't bring it up. Is this related to how I lost control of myself a moment ago? Or maybe he didn't want to party with me anymore because of that? No no... this is not good. If he leaves without me then I won't be able to find out where the Tang Shelter is! I mean, I could just follow him. But! What's worse is that he might not welcome me in the shelter! T

This is not looking good at all.

I clicked my tongue in frustration as I entered one of the houses.

To my surprise, despite the outward appearance of the house, it was filled to the brim with rare tapestries and expensive stuff. I stumbled upon something great! No... these are treasures gotten from the victims of this leader's greed.

Or maybe it's just him born from a wealthy family? Who knows, but finders keepers it is, I guess.

"Yongrui! I found something in the System when you reached the Fifth Level of Spirit Realm. I think you might need it."

"Oh! Is that free gift from the system?!" I excitedly asked. "If that's the case then this is a first! Show me!"

"No, you've subconsciously earned it by completing a bonus quest of sorts." The System responded. There was a hint of nervousness within her voice. I find it rather suspicious.

"And... what was the quest?"

"Kill a huma- er I mean, bite a human." The System corrected herself with guilt in her voice. "Anyways, here it is."

Because of her unsteady tone, I could tell that the quest was the former instead of the latter. In short, I killed someone and that's how I finished my quest. Even though I did it subconsciously, it still weighed heavily on me. Just as I mentioned before, I have my own selfish ideals and that includes giving what's due to someone who deserved it. Of course, the cannibalistic humans deserved it but they didn't do anything to me. I'm not saying I won't kill them if given the options... but they were already crazy. If I had the chance, I would've just restrained them and rescue the kids in the shelter.

All's well that ends well, I guess. I don't have to worry about spilled milk and just continue looting this place. After that, Luo Zehn and I would head to Tang Shelter for the kids.

Well, back to the system! As soon as she finished speaking. A dazzling light shimmered in front of me as if a diamond just spawned out of nowhere. After a few seconds, it dissipated, and out came a Silvery ring that's shaped like wings wrapping around your finger if you wore it. Aside from that, there's an ocean-colored gem on top of it and every time you changed the angle of where you look, the ocean-colored gem seemed like its experiencing occasional waves akin to a real ocean.

"This is a Silverwing Ring." The System announced. Despite its appearance, its name is so lackluster that I felt disappointed with whoever named it. "It's a cliche tool that every cultivator is supposed to have. In other words, a storage ring."

Now that you mentioned it... I still have my storage ring with me. Because of the urgency these past few days, it slipped past my mind to use everything that I stored in there.

"Does it have anything inside it? Or it's just an empty storage ring. If that's the case, then it kind of sucks, isn't it? I mean, that's a special quest and all that the System would give me is something that I already have?" I shrugged.

"Sorry, Yongrui. I don't know if there's anything inside since I didn't bother checking it. But try equipping it, maybe there's something inside... or not?" I could totally feel the System fidgeting as I equipped the Silverwing Ring.

<Silverwing Ring equipped.>

<Which storage ring do you want to access?>

"I'll go with the Silverwing Ring first then," I responded.

I immediately realize that the System is actually pretty convenient since I could access both of my storage rings. And also, it came with a window that listed all the objects inside. Now I don't know which type of objects I could put in the Silverwing Ring but one more storage ring wouldn't hurt.

As soon as I accessed the Silverwing Ring, I was surprised that there were a few things inside it.

<10,000 Shop Coins>

<1000 Exp Cards>

<5 Fatigue Potions>

<5 Boost Potions>

<?????>

<?????>

The rest of the items were filled with question marks as if some error occurred. Asking the System about it, it said that my level was far too low to view such advanced items. As for the items that I could see, I could only view it. Even if I tried to, the System kept on notifying me that my level was too low.

<Can't use the item. User's level is too low>

Just when the System gives me something, it holds back like a corrupt official ruling over a town. Honestly, this System is such a scam. And here I was, thinking that the System finally gave me something useful. Of course, I could use the Silverwing Rings as storage rings but to think that there are locked items in your storage? It's simply unacceptable.

"Yongrui, enough about that! You might want to check that small chest over there. I'm sensing a huge amount of Qi flowing from it." The System interrupted my thoughts.

Well, there's nothing I could do about it. Even the System doesn't know what it's doing so what could I expect?

I immediately whirled my head towards the chest and just as the System said, it was brimming with Qi. Even my senses are tingling with anticipation as I approached the chest.

Would it be a rare essence? Or maybe a type of rare plant or treasure that would boost my cultivation? Whatever the case, it should be pretty valuable for it to emit such pure and intense Qi. I reached out my hand and a refreshing feeling penetrated my skin. Even with just that, the thing inside the chest was already speeding up my cultivation and I haven't even come in contact with it.

As soon as I opened it, a small black pearl greeted me, cushioned by a red velvety pillow probably filled with down due to its softness. "Oh, a black pearl! But it's emitting such intense Qi. What's this?"

I didn't hesitate to put it in my storage so it would show me its name. When the name flashed in front of me, I couldn't help but inwardly chuckle, as if expecting something like this to happen.

<Item: Bad Egg- takes a long time to hatch, and has a twenty-five percent chance of hatching into a rotten egg>

"What kind of item is this?" I exclaimed in surprise, remembering the reference on that crazed game and anime that everyone loved back in pre-apocalypse times.
