Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

There were a total of 30 stones on the table, and they were arranged in different colors.

There were 10 black stones, 6 red stones, 4 blue stones, 4 green stones, 2 bright yellow stones, 2 dark yellow stones, and 2 white stones.

Each stone or gem was unique in its own way… Their shape and sizes differ as if to tell that the people they could summon from these stones also differed.

The first stone that Darwin presented was the Normal Recruitment Stone, a modest black gem that seemed to absorb light rather than reflect it.

"This Normal Recruitment Stone," Darwin explained in a voice tinged with wisdom, "summons ordinary individuals with two or three skills. While they may lack extraordinary abilities, these individuals serve as a reliable workforce, ready to lend their expertise and labor to the Foreign Survivors.

Treat them well, provide them with sustenance and protection from the threat of zombies, and they will prove to be steadfast allies in your journey." He explained.

Everyone was aware of this Normal Recruitment Stone, so they weren't too surprised. They also had a rough idea about what kind of people they could summon from this stone.

Nonetheless, they didn't stop the old merchant's explanation.

Shane and the others just nodded in understanding as they listened silently.

Seeing their reaction, Darwin proceeded to unveil the second stone--the Special Recruitment Stone, distinguished by its vibrant red hue.

"The red stone before you is the Special Recruitment Stone," Darwin said, his gaze sweeping across the group.

"It has the power to recruit individuals with special talents and skills, elevating them above the ordinary. However, be mindful… The loyalty of these summoned individuals may be fragile if the one who activates the stone lacks the needed level to tame them. Take note of it in case you plan to give this item as a gift to lower-level individuals…" He explained.

"Is that so? What level do you suggest before we use that stone?" Raze asked everyone's questions in their mind.

"Mhmm… I suggest you reach level 30 at the very least. Even if you're not at that level, if you have strength that's similar to that level, then there shouldn't be any problem.

"That's interesting… But I guess you're right… It's difficult to command someone who is stronger than you." Tessa commented.

After hearing this, Raze and the others looked at Shane.

Shane wryly smiled at this as he could tell what they were thinking. They must be curious about his strength since he was able to command Monk Chaloem and Warlord Shinja. Those two were incredibly strong after all.

Nonetheless, everyone was eager to delve deeper into the mysteries of the remaining Recruitment Stones, so they shut their mouth and gestured for Darkwin to continue.

The next stone was a blue one, and it was called Random Recruitment Stone… Read more tales on NovelFire-l-em,py-r

Unlike the other two, this stone had an unpredictable nature, capable of summoning individuals with an assortment of skills and attributes, offering a diverse array of talents to aid the Foreign Survivors in their quest for survival. It could summon a strong individual or an incredibly useless one with terrible loyalty points.

"You need a higher luck to use this… I suggest using any skill or item that increases luck before you consider using this." Darwin suggested.

"Higher luck, huh…" Everyone muttered at the same time as they were all not confident with their luck.

Certainly, they obtained decent Talent and Skills, but that was not enough to say that they were lucky. Raze and others knew very well that their luck wasn't good after looting hundreds of zombies.

As for Shane, he had a Luck Stat activated, so he could really tell how trashy his luck was.

If not for his Complete Loot Talent, he'd probably just loot Zombie Blood every time.

Darwin smiled as he showed the green stone next… He doesn't know what they were thinking, but his customers probably had terrible luck this time as well.

"Ahem… This is a Rare Recruitment Stone… It summons individuals of excellent rarity and prowess. Their unique abilities in certain fields distinguished them. You can say that professionals mostly come from this stone."

"Professionals?" Kale repeated…

"Yes… They could be a knight, a gladiator, an assassin, a skilled chef, an expert mason, or any other expert in a certain field of work… You can't underestimate the people that could be recruited using this stone. That's why the price for this is normally 450 Zombie Cores, but I can sell it to you for only 300 Zombies Cores."

"Oh! A discount for us? Then, how much for the normal, special, and random Recruitment Stones?" Raze immediately asked. The others also nodded as they wanted to see whether they had enough money or zombie cores.

"Right… I'll give them discounts as well, so I can sell the Normal Recruitment Stone for only 60 Zombie Cores. The Special one is only 100 Zombie Cores, while the Random stone is worth 200 Zombie Cores." Darwin listed.

Shane and the others had no idea about the original price of the Recruitment Stones in the first place, so they couldn't really tell whether they were getting a discount or getting scammed.

Nonetheless, they all thanked the old man for lowering the price while also opening their Regional Chat to ask questions.

To Shane's surprise, as soon as he opened the Regional Chat, he noticed that Raze had already had a chat asking about the question he was thinking.

The others also looked surprised as they looked at Raze…

The latter could only smile as she focused on the replies.

[ Raze: Does anyone know the price of Normal, Special, and Random Recruitment Stones in terms of Zombie Cores? I met a merchant selling a Random Recruitment Stone for 200 Zombie Cores. Is this a good deal? ]

[ Travis: The Random Recruitment Stone is like a lottery ticket, so it can be expensive since there's still a small chance of getting an epic-level Recruit. For 200 Zombie Cores, that's already acceptable. ]

[ Clarissa: I want to buy 2 Random Recruitment Stones Raze… ]

[ Herman: I need people who have Blacksmithing Skills. Can I get them in the Recruitment Stones ]

[ Mark Sol: Raze… Do you have a boyfriend? ]
