Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Honey

Compared to the barren land she had ended up in her first dimension hunting, the place she was in now was much better.

[Host you have to survive for 4 hours below you can open a return portal.]

“4 hours? As far as I remember 2 hours were the minimum limit before.”

[Host you are nearing your level up. Once you level, you will gain some benefits but the limitation will increase too.]

Su Jiyai sighed. Indeed the saying the further you go, the more danger you attract was true.

However, the tranquility of the planet, made Su Jiyai relax her guard.

“4 hours? I think I can easily survive.”

She thought,

‘Such a beautiful place won’t have any beasts or monsters, right ?’

At first, Su Jiyai had decided to lie on the lush and soft grass and spend 4 hours sleeping.

Her beautiful fantasy was broken the very next moment when she heard a slight buzzing sound.

It wasn’t just a single buzz; it was a chorus of them, like a swarm of insects approaching rapidly.

She quickly scanned the area, her eyes darting around for the source of the noise.

The tranquil scenery suddenly seemed more ominous, the vibrant colors of the flora appearing almost too bright, too perfect.

Her initial sense of safety started to erode, replaced by a creeping unease.

The buzzing intensified, and soon enough, Su Jiyai saw them—giant, wasp-like creatures emerging from the dense foliage.

Their bodies were sleek and metallic, their wings shimmering with an iridescent sheen. They looked nothing like any insect she had encountered before.

Their stingers were long and sharp, glinting dangerously in the sunlight.

“Seriously? Can just for once my luck be good?” Su Jiyai wanted to shout, but she held it in and decided to choose the second-best option.

She was going to leave quietly.

Su Jiyai tried her best to not make any sound and sound found a location to hide.

Her plan was simple. She would until those insects leave.

However the insects as if having some strange connection quickly found where Su Jiyai was.

The 3rd best option was to run and Su Jiyai executed her right away. However, her third-best option failed when the insect caught up to her.

One of them even tried to attack Su Jiyai.

Instinctively, Su Jiyai reached for her weapon. Her fingers tightened around the rolling pin.

The wasp-like creatures hovered menacingly in the air, their eyes fixed on her.

“System, what are these things?” she asked, keeping her gaze locked on the approaching swarm.

[Host, these creatures are known as ‘Steel Wasps.’ They are highly aggressive and territorial. Their stingers can penetrate even the strongest of armors, and their venom is potent.]

Su Jiyai’s grip tightened.

She swung her rolling pin in the direction of the Steel Wasps. With one swing she dealt with more than 3 Steel Wasps.

It was a good progress but the thousands of Steel Wasps told Su Jiyai just how far the victory was from her.

More of the wasps swarmed her, and Su Jiyai found herself surrounded on all sides.

She fought fiercely, her movements a blur as she dodged and countered their attacks. Each time she took one down, another would take its place.

Surprisingly the practice in the VR room truly developed her skills at a frightening speed.

She didn’t have any superpower other than dimension hunting. If her reflexes and strength weren’t good, she might have died in her first dimension hunting.

Due to one year of no activity, her strength decreased and even though now she had done many exercises and absorbed many crystals, they didn’t help her much.

If she hadn’t entered the VR room yesterday, Su Jiyai wasn’t sure whether she would have had enough strength to deal with these Steel Wasps.

The 3 hours of training in the VR room helped her improve her martial arts by leaps and bounds.

Su Jiyai guessed that each Steel Wasp was at least as strong as a level 2 expert in her world.

If it was before maybe she would have fainted after dealing with just a few of them.

But now with the rolling pin and the improved martial arts, Su Jiyai could fight so confidently.

Despite the fatigue creeping in, Su Jiyai gritted her teeth and pressed on.

She knew she couldn’t afford to falter, not when survival was on the line.

The Steel Wasps seemed to sense her fatigue, their attacks becoming more aggressive, more coordinated.

They were trying to overwhelm her, to break her defenses through sheer numbers. But Su Jiyai wasn’t about to let that happen.

In a moment of clarity, she realized that she couldn’t keep fighting them head-on.

The Steel Wasps were too numerous, and her energy was running low.

She needed to come up with a new strategy, something that would give her an advantage.

Her eyes scanned the area, looking for anything she could use to her benefit.

The lush foliage and vibrant plants that had seemed so peaceful before now held the potential for her survival.

A plan began to form in her mind, one that was risky but could potentially turn the tide in her favor.

With a final, powerful swing of her rolling pin, Su Jiyai created some distance between herself and the swarm.

She dashed towards a cluster of tall, thick trees nearby, her mind racing as she put her plan into action.

Reaching the trees, she quickly climbed up one of them, using the dense branches to conceal herself.

The Steel Wasps followed, their buzzing filling the air as they swarmed around the base of the tree, searching for their prey.

Su Jiyai held her breath, waiting for the right moment.

She needed to lure the wasps into a confined space where their numbers would work against them, rather than for them.

As the wasps began to spread out, searching the surrounding area, she knew her moment had come.

With a sudden burst of energy, Su Jiyai leaped from the tree, landing on the ground and sprinting towards a narrow ravine she had noticed earlier.

The wasps, sensing her movement, followed her in a frenzy, their buzzing intensifying as they closed in.

Su Jiyai reached the ravine and, with a quick, agile movement, she jumped across it, landing safely on the other side.

The Steel Wasps, however, were not as fortunate.

Their momentum carried them into the narrow space, where they collided with each other, their large bodies unable to maneuver in the confined area.

Taking advantage of their disarray, Su Jiyai swung her rolling pin with all her remaining strength, delivering a series of devastating blows to the trapped wasps.

The confined space made it impossible for them to escape, and one by one, they fell under her relentless assault.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the last of the Steel Wasps lay still, their metallic bodies littering the ground.

[Congratulations host for killing 50 Steel Wasps. You are rewarded with one golden ticket.]

“Golden ticket? What is that?” Su Jiyai asked in confusion.

[Host do you remember the spinning wheel?]

“The one from which I got that SSS-rank vehicle?” Su Jiyai asked.

[Yes host. To spin the wheel, you need a golden ticket.]

If Su Jiyai was not so tired that she couldn’t move, she would have jumped up in excitement.

That spinning wheel was a free treasure trove! If she could get another SSS-Rank Vehicle, then she wouldn’t have to worry about the availability of the SSS-Rank Vehicle.

(Fu Lin has to drive away the car to recruit more tenants.)

“How can I get more of this golden ticket?” Su Jiyai asked. Her eyes were shining.

[As long as you kill a beast you never killed before, you will get one of these golden tickets.]

“Wait! So why didn’t I get a golden ticket when I killed those strange vending machine-like beasts during my first dimension hunting?”

[Host, at that time the system wasn’t activated.]

“So what about the penalty world?” Su Jiyai asked.

[The beasts killed in the penalty world are not counted.]

Suddenly an idea appeared in Su Jiyai’s mind and she asked,

“What about zombies?”

[As long as the host can kill high-level zombies that the host hasn’t killed before, you can get one of these golden tickets.]

Su Jiyai clenched her fist in excitement.

[Host, why don’t you extract honey.]

“Honey?”

[Yes, host, these Steel Wasps collect honey from the lush green grass you had seen earlier.]

“So where is their hideout?” Su Jiyai asked.

[Before telling about their hideout I want to warn the host. The honey can’t be eaten directly, it needs to be processed.]

“Why? Is it because of bacteria?” Su Jiyai asked.

[No, host. It’s because of how nutritious it is. The nutritional value of the honey exceeds what a human body can typically handle. Consuming it raw could lead to severe side effects, including but not limited to extreme fatigue, organ overload, or even death. However, if properly processed, it becomes a powerful elixir that can enhance physical strength, speed up healing, and boost energy levels significantly.]
