What Wang Ying needed to do was to make sure he could smash the head of a normal monster with a desk lamp.
This process was somewhat lengthy.
Tong Ming said:
"Should we continue exploring? Just stand here and watch?"
Wen Xishu said:
"You can go ahead, I need to wait for the captain."
Seeing that Wen Xishu didn’t move, Tong Ming also stayed put.
Time passed, second by second...
When the kill count reached 99, Aspasia was already exhausted and lying on the ground, her eyes glazed over as if she had just finished shooting a two-hour non-stop movie in the Island Country.
As for Wang Ying, he was completely drained.
Now, another group of monsters was slowly flooding in, including a mid-tier normal monster. Its limbs already had bone spurs and its speed was much higher than other normal monsters, like a sprinter bursting into a run.
Seeing this, Wang Ying’s weakened hands immediately picked up the desk lamp and shouted:
"Fuck you! Fuck you!"
Wang Ying wasn’t cursing at the mid-tier normal monster charging at him but rather trying to quickly kill a regular low-tier monster to complete the task.
And he did it. He mustered all his strength and smashed the head of a normal monster with the desk lamp.
Clang, the desk lamp dropped to the ground, and he was indeed out of strength.
If he hadn’t wasted so much energy earlier, he might still have some fight left in him, but now, he was completely spent.
Wang Ying collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily.
Fortunately, at this time — all the monsters stopped moving.
Kill count: 100/100.
[You successfully demonstrated the value of this item in the apocalypse. Returning to the museum soon, may you showcase more items to people. Upon this return, your stamina will be restored to 50% of its maximum.]
Wang Ying and Aspasia finally returned to the museum.
After recovering their stamina, Wang Ying and Aspasia were no longer as disheveled as on the battlefield. The bloodstains on their bodies were also instantly cleaned off.
"The captain is amazing... truly a War God. I’ve never seen someone so brave. I think I will remember the captain’s desk lamp War God image for the rest of my life."
Tong Ming looked on in admiration.
His acting was spot on, the amazement was natural and well-placed, not exaggerated at all.
So for a moment, Wang Ying also didn’t know if "desk lamp War God" was a compliment or sarcasm.
Wen Xishu said:
"Captain, you worked hard. Now..."
Wen Xishu deliberately didn’t continue, but glanced at Wang Ying. Wang Ying still felt grateful to Wen Xishu.
"What? What’s the current situation?"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Now we’ve basically completed one standard round. We have at least eleven more rounds left. One round includes the identification part, the showcase part, and the usage part."
"And the game states that it must be the identified item used to kill enemies to count. So, we still have to carefully choose and consider the item’s functions."
"Does this function help us... kill enemies?"
Wang Ying nodded:
"Got it, I’m much better now. Shall we start exploring the second ward?"
Aspasia then spoke:
"Should we continue going to each ward together or split up?"
Tong Ming agreed:
"I think so too... If we happen to find something very suitable for combat, like a weapon... if everyone wants it, it will be discordant, right?"
In this situation, items with inherent combat attributes would be the most sought after.
For example, a knife, even if its special ability is mediocre, as a knife, it’s inherently more suitable for killing than a desk lamp.
Once there’s a direction, everyone starts thinking, relying on their skills to find suitable items for identification, searching ward by ward together...
No one could hoard good items for themselves.
Wen Xishu realized that humans are indeed selfish. But he didn’t mind this scenario. In fact, he thought it was better this way, he wouldn’t have to take responsibility for their reckless actions.
