Task 1: [Limited-time Harvest!]
Task introduction: Within one hour, the points gained from harvesting zombies will be tripled!
Note: The countdown starts 10 minutes after accepting the task.
Task 2: [Silver Treasure Chest!]
Task introduction: Within one hour, there will be three silver treasure chests, which will refresh immediately. The refresh range is within 500 meters of the protagonist. Please be vigilant to collect them.
Note: The countdown starts 10 minutes after accepting the task.
"Damn it!!"
A two-in-a-row limited-time task? Seriously?
Having played numerous games before, Tsubasa Amagiri was no stranger to the system's routine of issuing limited-time tasks.
Generally, a time limit was set, followed by a request to complete some more challenging objectives.
It was precisely because of this that Tsubasa Amagiri had cautiously inquired about potential penalties for failure.
Yet, this damn system played by its own rules!
A limited-time task with two sub-tasks!
Moreover!
They were practically handouts!
Within one hour, triple the points from taking down zombies!
Simultaneously, the immediate respawn of three silver treasure chests within a 500-meter radius!
Needless to say, the silver treasure chests would appear randomly.
The timing was unpredictable, and the location was limited to 500 meters, but considering the current infested landscape outside, even venturing 50 meters felt like an overwhelming endeavor, let alone 500.
So, this aspect was largely a matter of luck!
However, the first task was different.
The initiative rested entirely in Tsubasa Amagiri's hands.
Despite his inherent greed, Tsubasa Amagiri understood his limitations.
There was no need to overthink both tasks simultaneously.
The first task took precedence.
As for the three silver treasure chests, he would rely on chance.
Obtaining them would be ideal, but he wouldn't dwell on it if he missed them.
Still, three treasure chests!
Surely, his luck wouldn't be so abysmal as to miss all of them, right? Generally speaking!
This time, with careful execution, he could definitely amass a significant reward.
Reflecting on his earlier skepticism towards the system, only for it to unexpectedly bestow such benefits, Tsubasa Amagiri inexplicably felt like he was taking advantage of an honest entity.
"System, any more bonuses like this coming up? More? Host here is capable, works hard, and isn't afraid of getting tired!"
"Ding! Host, the limited-time task will refresh soon. Please pay attention to the system's task release prompts at any time.~"
"Damn, what a waste of emotion!"
Tsubasa Amagiri cursed inwardly and dismissed the system panel.
"Although one hour is a bit tight, with careful planning, there should still be ample room for maneuver…"
Gazing at the task panel before him, Tsubasa Amagiri's eyes darted back and forth rapidly.
Their original plan was straightforward!
Saeko Busujima held the bus key. Once the horde of zombies outside subsided, they could proceed to the parking lot and use the school bus to escape the academy.
In the anime, the protagonists had also left the academy in this manner.
But the current predicament was different!
Tsubasa Amagiri's previous actions had alerted the mass of zombies within the academy grounds. The playground outside was now teeming with an uncountable number of the undead.
Crossing the playground would require waiting for an opportune moment!
Originally!
Tsubasa Amagiri had intended to repeat their earlier strategy from the second-floor office, waiting for the school bell in the broadcasting room.
Fujimi High School's schedule was unique!
The afternoon classes bell rang at 2 pm! The dismissal bell rang at 4:20 pm!
Tsubasa Amagiri had planned to wait for the 4:20 pm bell. By then, the zombies on the playground would likely be drawn away by the sound, allowing them to reach the parking lot and escape the school smoothly.
However, the sudden appearance of this limited-time task had directly disrupted this plan.
Tsubasa Amagiri opened the task panel for another look.
The limited-time task hadn't started yet, the ten-minute preparation countdown was still ticking down slowly.
One minute had elapsed, leaving nine minutes remaining!
"Saeko, what time is it now?"
Tsubasa Amagiri turned to Saeko Busujima.
There was no clock in the office, and Tsubasa Amagiri himself didn't have the habit of wearing a watch. Since they had started dating, Saeko Busujima had always managed their schedule. The office was quiet. Even though Tsubasa Amagiri and Saeko Busujima spoke in hushed tones, Saya Takagi and Rei Miyamoto, who were nearby, still heard and immediately looked over.
Even Marikawa Shizuka, who had been dozing on a chair, rubbed her eyes and looked around in confusion.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Saeko Busujima also looked at Tsubasa Amagiri, a hint of doubt in her deep purple eyes.
Tsubasa Amagiri had clearly explained their escape plan earlier. While he didn't wear a watch, the relentless horde of zombies outside hadn't stopped, and the school bell hadn't rung.
So, there must be a reason for his question!
"Saeko, there are some changes to the plan."
Tsubasa Amagiri gripped the Kuyo Knife beside him and stood up from the ground.
"I'll explain the details later. Right now, let's talk about the two of them!"
With these words, Tsubasa Amagiri took two steps forward, his dark eyes settling on Saya Takagi and Rei Miyamoto not far away.
Saeko Busujima was slightly startled, and then she understood Tsubasa Amagiri's intention.
"Hmm!"
She remained silent but quietly moved to Tsubasa Amagiri's side, her deep purple eyes calmly observing Saya Takagi and Rei Miyamoto. Regardless of Tsubasa Amagiri's decision, she would unconditionally support him.
Marikawa Shizuka, the ever-oblivious one, had also stirred from her nap.
She looked at Tsubasa Amagiri and Saeko Busujima, then at Saya Takagi and Rei Miyamoto beside her, tilted her head in thought for a moment, and seemed to grasp Tsubasa Amagiri's meaning.
She placed her bare, fleshy legs on the ground and casually strolled to Tsubasa Amagiri's side.
Her intention was clear!
No matter what decision Tsubasa Amagiri made, she would unconditionally support him~
Saya Takagi and Rei Miyamoto remained confused.
Hadn't everything been fine just moments ago?
What was happening now?
