Chapter 152: Reputation Store

"We're on board! Brother Zhang!"

Gao Tian let out a helpless shout at Zhang Tie's back.

He never imagined that.

Zhang Tie stubbornly wanted to turn into a black bear and drag the whole fuel tank out of the gas station.

Like a bear rampaging through a cornfield, the entire gas station was looted clean by the group.

Almost every truck used to block the road was filled with gasoline, and even Lin An's ring was half-filled.

Muttering curses, Zhang Tie gazed unwillingly at the vertical storage tank behind him, which weighed ten tons empty, not counting the weight when full.

Team channel.

"Captain Lin, why won't you give me a hand? I feel if we both put in some effort, we could move this back to base..."

Lin An couldn't be bothered with him; he knew bringing Zhang Tie out would definitely lead to this.

Last time at the hospital, too, when fleeing with two people on his back, he was unwilling to abandon a sack of medicine.

I have no idea how this guy manages to get by...

On the bus, Lin An held the doll, closed his eyes, and pondered something, although he could tell Gao Tian had a lot to say.

But he decided to first figure out the doll, as well as the newly opened reputation store.

He also roughly guessed what Gao Tian wanted to say.

Inside the vehicle, Liang Shaoguang gazed curiously at the situation inside.

Upon seeing that there were still three Awakened Ones, he couldn't help but be startled.

Elemental Awakened Ones are easily distinguished by appearance.

After all, their bodies visibly emit red light, and some elemental Awakened Ones even undergo changes in appearance.

Although Lin An had never lifted a finger, both his reasoning shown when dealing with the doll and the strength he used to suppress it made him feel profoundly mysterious.

He is immensely powerful, with so many Awakened Ones under his command, and appears very respectful.

Goodness, what kind of background does he have?

Liang Shaoguang clicked his tongue, unable to sit still.

But seeing Lin An resting with his eyes closed, he dared not ask further.

He had no other thoughts, after all, in a sense Lin An had saved his whole family's lives.

Therefore, after dealing with the doll, Lin An had him join the supply search; he agreed without hesitation, and even summoned everyone in the service area to help.

Although the service area had enough food, gathering more supplies was also good.

Moreover.

The man called boss before them was so strong that safety was certainly not an issue.

In his sea of consciousness, Lin An frowned while looking at the doll's information:

"【Meme-Doll】Special Tier 1 (Dangerous) Prop."

"Prop effect: Designate a target capable of understanding the doll's killings as the 【Cause】 and spread fear; according to the fear level, summon the doll again."

"After the 【Cause】 dies, the doll disappears, cooldown: 2400 hours."

"Note: After summoning the doll, it cannot be recalled voluntarily; the 【Cause】 must be killed. During the summoning period, the doll's strength increases with the number of kills and the target's fear value."

"Note: After the doll's power increases, it may escape!! Ignoring whether the 【Cause】 is dead!!"

Lin An frowned.

The effect of the meme prop is terrifying.

This might be the strongest prop he has obtained so far, aside from the base vehicle.

To some extent, it can almost be compared to the 【Soul-devouring Hand】.

After all, it's a regulation-level monster that is nearly indestructible, and at this stage no one can oppose it.

It's a double-edged sword...

【Meme】 is like a virus; as long as one person becomes the 【Cause】 and spreads fear, it will quickly "infect" many players.

If Lin An intended to throw the doll into a densely populated gathering.

At this stage, the invincible doll could easily slaughter tens of thousands, even millions, ultimately growing into a nightmare-like entity.

Moreover, according to the description, after the doll's power increases, it is highly likely to defect.

At that point, even killing the 【Cause】 would be useless.

In that case, he really couldn't think of any way to deal with it.

Nuclear bombs?

Instantly annihilate all life that knows the doll's concept? To stop the spread of fear?

Lin An gave a wry smile and shook his head; unless absolutely necessary, he is unlikely to use this prop.

Meme...

Indeed, it is one of humanity's nightmares.

Even now he somewhat suspects that the Fourth Rank calamity-level meme that slaughtered nearly a hundred million people in his past life might have been created by a player.

After putting the doll away, Lin An opened the newly added reputation store.

Compared to the headache-inducing meme, he was more looking forward to being able to exchange reputation at the store.

"Reputation Store: Spend reputation to exchange for equipment (according to player strength, equipment tier and list refresh once a month)."

"Current highest refreshed equipment tier: Blue --- Current reputation: 110"

"White Equipment: Armor (9), Weapons (9), Accessories (9)"

"Blue Equipment: Armor (3), Weapons (3), Accessories (locked)"

"Orange Equipment: locked"

"Purple Equipment: Not Unlocked"

"Although the store doesn't have many equipment, especially the highest permission blue equipment only has armor and weapons."

"But this doesn't affect Lin An's good mood at all."

"After all, the store will unlock more equipment based on one's increasing strength in the future; if one could buy epic or even legendary equipment later, that would be a huge profit."

"Nothing else to say."

"In my past life, the Linjiang War Zone actually had a blue equipment called 【Skullcrusher's Hand】 appear on the surface."

"From this one can see how rare the equipment is."

"With anticipation, Lin An looked at the blue weapons column."

"He only needs a suitable weapon now; as for armor, the Suturer's Carapace is sufficient."

"1. Blood Moon Staff (Blue Excellent) Equipment: Requires Willpower attribute 13 or higher."

"Equipment attributes: Willpower +2, mental power recovery speed increased by 20%, skill power amplified by 20%."

"Equipment effect: During night Descent, gain Blood Moon's power (generate a mental power shield; when attacked, can use mental power to offset damage)."

"Equipment description: A staff imbued with Blood Moon power, suitable for elemental Awakened Ones."

"This equipment requires reputation points: 60."

"After looking at the first weapon, Lin An felt somewhat surprised."

"Didn't expect reputation to be so 'valuable'..."

"The Blood Moon Staff can be considered a minor top-tier among blue equipment."

"Exchanging 60 reputation points for one is indeed tempting."

"Whether it's the attributes or the accompanying Blood Moon power, it fits elemental Awakened Ones quite well."

"Especially the mental power shield, it's practically tailor-made for the relatively frail 'mage'."

"Like the three fire-element Awakened Ones in the car, their biggest weakness is defensive capability."

"High attack, low defense."

"Once confronted by Mutants, or even a large number of Zombies up close, it's easy to fall into danger."

"Although Blood Moon's power can only be used at night, it's undoubtedly a very good life-saving skill."

"Just that."

"After hesitating a moment, Lin An still chose to give up."

"His Willpower attribute is indeed high; pursuing a mage path in the future won't be bad."

"But his talent, combat instinct would be wasted..."

"There's also no mage in the team, so exchanging for it now would be somewhat wasteful."

"Look at the next one."

"Lin An still prefers the magic swordsman type internally, which assists strength with skills, close combat, extreme violent output."

"Next item:"

"2. Soul-Securing Scabbard (Blue Excellent Equipment): Power requirement, all attributes 15 points or above."

"In the light screen, a scabbard forged entirely of dark purple metal slowly rotates."
