Chapter 23 End and Forum
Zhou Chen's rest time quickly ended because a few bat monsters had neared and attacked him.
There were a total of five of them. Zhou Chen did not dare to be careless. He retreated and killed them after suffering some minor injuries, but no passive skill or item rewards dropped.
"If only I could get a passive flying skill…"
Zhou Chen looked at the bat corpses on the ground and thought to himself. Then, he continued to advance in the cave, planning to find another clean place to rest.
This time, his luck was not good. He had just walked through the tunnel and entered a new path from the fork. Before long, he saw many monster corpses on the ground, emitting an unpleasant smell.
Clearly, the monsters here had been dealt with by the Survivors.
Seeing this, he could only continue forward. After passing through some winding paths, he finally found a good spot and began to rest.
He had consumed a lot of his stamina, while there was still a lot of time left for the Survival mission to end. In order to prevent any accidents, he had to pay attention to his condition and stamina instead of constantly looking for monsters to fight.
The situation in this cave was volatile. One moment, he would be alone and safe, but the next, he would be targeted by a group of monsters. He had to be careful.
His rest lasted for nearly an hour. During this period, he was not disturbed by monsters, so the quality of his rest was not bad.
Towards the end of the hour, he realized that the ground was shaking irregularly, as if a group of monsters were approaching. He quickly got up and left.
He directly headed in the direction away from the source of the tremor, not probing what group of monsters were approaching.
Curiosity often brought danger, his current strength was barely enough to deal with ten ordinary monsters at once. If there were too many monsters, he would be in great danger.
Zhou Chen wandered around the various passages in the cave, avoiding large groups of monsters and hunting small groups of monsters. At the same time, he paid attention to the signs of the invisible person until the end of the Survival mission.
When the Survival mission ended, he realized that his Survival mission this time was better than the zombie city mission where he had to run around miserably.
[You have completed the mission. Reward: 1 Spirit Scroll (Low Bronze), 1 Physique Scroll (Low Bronze), 1 Round Shield (Low Bronze)]
When he returned to his rented room, he realized that the rewards this time were not bad. There were actually two attribute scrolls.
Without hesitation, he took out the blue and red scrolls from his inventory and used them. Then, he took out his new shield to take a look.
"An ordinary shield. It should be of some use."
After playing with the shield that he had just obtained for a bit and confirming that it was ordinary, he returned it to his inventory.
Then, he walked to the fridge and took out the food he had prepared before. After eating his fill, he lay on the bed to rest.
This time, he woke up after only six hours of sleep. His body was clearly more relaxed than when he was in the zombie city.
As soon as he woke up, he opened his character interface to check.

Comprehensive Evaluation: Low Bronze]
"It's still low bronze. I wonder what is the standard for higher evaluation."
After checking his attributes, he complained about the comprehensive evaluation. He opened the system forum in the Dragon Country and began browsing. The forum was as lively as before. All kinds of threads kept being posted:
[The Survivor Administration has begun to sell special survivor suits! One set only costs 1888 Dragon Country bills!]
[F*cking survival system, can you get out of my body?]
[Can any big shots tell us what middle and high bronze dungeons are like?]
[My leg was bitten off by a monster in a Survival mission. Can I heal it with a healing potion?]
[Everyone, be careful not to expose your real identity and address. Otherwise, you might encounter a disaster!]
[These Survival missions are too f*cked up. It seriously affects my good life. Who can tell me how to quit?]
[Calculating the list of Survivors who have died, exposing the brutal crimes of the survival system.]
[Do you think that there might be a Survivor who has surpassed the bronze level?]
[My Survival mission is in half an hour. Can you give me some words of encouragement?]
[My despotic neighbor has gone missing recently. I suspect that he was a Survivor and died in a Survival mission. It seems like Survival missions have their good points. It can punish bad people.]
[Talent Statistics! Come here and describe the talent you obtained!]
[Ever since I started Survival missions, my performance at work has been getting worse. I feel like I will be fired by the boss soon.]
[Is the strongest Survivor of our Dragon Country the Director of the Administration?]
[Newbie Journal, leave your Survival mission notes here.]
[I'm mid bronze rank. I just came to the Capital. Is there a beauty who wants to go on a date?]
…
Zhou Chen first noticed the post about the Survivor Administration's special clothes. He immediately clicked on it and found that the Survivor Administration was selling specially made high-intensity fiber clothing. From the description, this clothing had excellent defensive power and was also waterproof and warm. It was very suitable for Survival missions.
"Unfortunately, I will have to register my identity to buy their items. It's no different from exposing myself."
Although the other party was an official organization, Zhou Chen did not want to expose himself so early, so he could only move past it.
Then, he clicked on the thread asking about the middle and high bronze ranked dungeons.
[My Lost Love: I'll tell you when I advance to mid bronze.]
[Blue Starry Night: Currently, most of the Survivors are at the low bronze rank. Few can answer your question.]
[Sweet Potato King: There is not much difference between a mid bronze dungeon and a low bronze dungeon. It is just that the monsters are stronger.]
[Boss Xu: Previous poster, don't speak nonsense if you don't know. I heard that there is a clear difference between middle and low bronze. For example, there will be intelligent native creatures in the dungeon.]
[My Youth Spent on Paper: Really? Are those natives beautiful?]
[Big True Fish: Previous poster is retarded.]
…
Zhou Chen quickly read the thread and found that although there were many people who replied, there was not a single mid bronze system label on their ids. This seemed to indicate that there were very few mid bronze ranked Survivors.
"There are intelligent natives in the mid bronze dungeon? In other words, we might be able to receive their help or be attacked by them during the Survival mission? If that's the case, the situation will be a little more complicated…"
