I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 108: Blood Raven

Night fell, and Song Jian lay quietly in bed. The familiar sensation welled up in his heart, as if a huge hand were grabbing him by the collar, pulling him forward;

“Can’t we change the way we enter the game? This feeling is simply awful!” Song Jian complained to himself; being forced into the game like this always felt imposed.

As Song Jian entered the game, the black stone tablet that had been casually placed in his drawer also turned into a beam of black light and drilled into the game;

Getting up off the floor of the third floor of the Manor Castle, Song Jian twisted his neck, feeling uncomfortable;

“I’ll need to make some furniture in my spare time, at least a bed. Sleeping on the floor every time won’t do!” Song Jian looked around the empty room and thought to himself;

Whoosh-

A gust of wind blew in from the window, and a sheepskin parchment the size of an A4 sheet of paper was blown in;

The parchment floated in mid-air, slowly burning up, and a cold mechanical voice sounded in Song Jian’s ear;

“Game player Song Jian, welcome to Doomsday City!”

“Being level 10, you walk ahead of your peers. Survival is no longer so difficult for you. You will embark on the path to seek greater power. First, you need to choose a combat profession. In this abandoned Doomsday City, many combat profession mentors are hidden. Find them and learn the secrets of the professions from them!”

“Mission Objective: In Doomsday City, find 10 combat profession mentors, explore the secrets of the various professions, and choose one as your main combat profession! o/io”

“Mission Hint: Not every combat profession mentor is willing to explain the secrets of their profession to you. First, find them and gain their approval!”

“Hint: Hundreds of combat profession mentors are hidden in this Doomsday City. They may be hidden in high-rise buildings, in alleys, or among powerful monsters!”

“Hint: Combat profession mentors may be your enemy and attack you proactively before you gain their approval;”

“Hint: Combat profession mentors are not always human. Maybe professions of other races are more suitable for you!”

“Warning: After killing a combat profession mentor, the profession the mentor teaches will disappear forever!”

“Warning: If you die in the game, your real-world identity will also be erased!”

“This mission can be viewed at any time in the mission bar!”

The parchment burned up, and its ashes were whisked away by the wind out of the window, as if it had never appeared.

Song Jian opened the mission interface and carefully read through the mainline mission several times;

“There must be quite a few players in the game now who haven’t even built a safe house. Moreover, from the mission introduction, it can be seen that level 10 is a threshold for encountering professions. If some players do not reach level 10 after creating a safe house, what kind of mainline mission will they get when they enter the game again?” Song Jian wondered to himself.

In fact, once the mainline mission of creating a safe house is completed, the player’s level will generally rise by three to four levels. The flood of monsters, whether killed by the defences of the safe house or by the players themselves, will ultimately grant all acquired experience to the player;

Unless there are beings like the Bloody Yin Spirit Poison Tree Alex, which intercept half of the experience points for their own level upgrades;

Caw-

A harsh bird cry rang out, and Song Jian looked towards the window to see a dark red crow, standing in front of the window, grooming its feathers;

Song Jian narrowed his eyes, and the dark red crow in front of him looked very much like the zombie crows that mutated after eating zombie flesh in the movie “Resident Evil”;

“Monster? How did it get into the manor?” Song Jian furrowed his brow slightly. The powerful defences of a level 1 manor caused monsters within a kilometre radius to keep their distance. Some flying creatures that entered the manor’s range would be attacked by Alex without hesitation;

But now this blood-red crow stood unscathed on the castle’s third-floor windowsill, with one of Alex’s branches less than a meter away, yet showing no signs of wanting to attack;

Song Jian stared at the crow for a moment, and soon a line of small text appeared above the crow’s head;

“Blood Crow (Summon), Vitality Points: 10/10, Traits: Undead;”

“A summon?” Song Jian frowned, “Whose summon is this? Is it Li Ke’er’s or Wang Qi’s?”

Only two people could enter Song Jian’s safe house, Li Ke’er and Wang Qi, to whom Song Jian had set the “Guest” permissions;

Caw-

Seeing that Song Jian was looking at it, the Blood Crow flew directly towards him, grabbed his shoulder, and stabilized itself;

“Hiss, this little thing is really arrogant!” Song Jian grabbed the Blood Crow and held it in front of him, staring into its eyes;

The Blood Crow’s eyes were also red, only much brighter than the feathers on its body;

Being held by Song Jian, the Blood Crow seemed very uncomfortable and struggled, but couldn’t break free from Song Jian’s right hand;

Spurt!

The Blood Crow being held by Song Jian suddenly collapsed and turned into a pool of blood that flowed onto the floor;

The blood slowly seeped into the floor and disappeared;

Caw, caw, caw-

More crow caws came from outside the window. Song Jian was startled and hurriedly walked to the window to look out;

In the courtyard, the Bloody Yin Spirit Poison Tree was full of Blood Crows. There were at least twenty dense crows at a glance;

“Why are there so many Blood Crows in my manor?” Song Jian frowned;

Song Jian’s figure flashed, and he appeared beneath the Bloody Yin Spirit Poison Tree. When Alex wasn’t doing anything, it would fall into a deep sleep, only sending out a faint sense of perception to inspect the surroundings;

Song Jian placed his hand on the trunk of the poison tree and began communicating with Alex;

Soon, Song Jian let go of his hand, and a look of comprehension appeared in his eyes;

“So, these are the summons nurtured by the Blood Pool!” Song Jian muttered to himself;

Opening the building list, Song Jian checked the attributes of the Blood Pool. Sure enough, at the end of the Blood Pool information, the words “Summon: Blood Crow; Summon Quantity: 29/30” appeared;

“A level 1 Blood Pool can only produce creatures like Blood Crows, but upgrading to level 2 will allow me to create even more powerful blood beasts.” Song Jian mused, “It seems that upgrading the Blood Pool should be on the agenda. 1 hope the required materials aren’t too expensive!”
