Benjamin reflexively picked up the [Mastery of Thunder Element Basics] scroll and was about to open it when a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind and he hurriedly stopped his hand.
‘Whew~, that was close!’
‘That was a close call, it's a good thing I stopped, otherwise what a waste.’
Benjamin had planned to directly use the Skill Scroll in order to master this magic class basic passive skill, but he suddenly reacted, this is INITIAL SPACE.
In theory, every contractor only had one chance to enter INITIAL SPACE, but Benjamin was different.
He was pulled in by that unreliable system in Reincarnation Space under a trap, and entered someone else's INITIAL SPACE, but since he entered through official channels, he wasn't considered black.
Although Benjamin was given a protection task after entering the world, and was acting in the world in the capacity of a bodyguard, according to the nature of INITIAL SPACE, Benjamin still enjoyed the identity of a ‘newcomer contractor’.
During the battle with the zombie squad, Benjamin gained [Footwork Basics] through continuous dodging attacks.
From this, Benjamin could enjoy the same rules of welfare within the INITIAL SPACE as those newcomers who had just come into contact with the world of the task, which gave him a lot of room to manoeuvre.
As long as his brain was big enough, he could acquire or develop more useful skills in this world himself.
Benjamin thought of his [Mastery of Fire Element Basics] which he had acquired in the last world, and using torches to inflict Fire Elemental damage could reach the conditions for acquiring it.
Then, if he used the [Lightning Strike Ring]'s attack skill [Lightning Strike] to inflict Thunder Elemental Damage on zombies, would it be possible to enable himself to directly master [Basic Thunder Element Basics] with the support of the world's welfare rules?
‘It feels reliable enough to try.’
Benjamin decided to catch a zombie on the way to test it out tomorrow when he was out exploring, it didn't cost anything to try anyway.
If this guess is correct, Benjamin saves a magic class basic passive skill scroll, and if he turns around and sells it in the Trading Market, he can earn at least 2,000 Mystsu Currency.
Thinking of this, Benjamin added the electric shock experiment to the list of experiments to be conducted tomorrow.
This list contained all kinds of wild guesses that Benjamin had conceived at this stage, and recorded the place, content, tools used and expected results of the experiment.
If you read the list carefully, you will find that although the content of the experiments is very strange, they all have the same part.
That is, in all of the experiments, the subjects to be used are zombies.
Beast of the Ancient Forest: Welcome to the second batch of victims, here are the newest victims to give their testimonials.
The zombie of Doomsday city: what the fuck!!!!
......
Early the next morning, the early morning sunlight shines through the glass on the roof of the building, waking up Benjamin and Fluffy who are sleeping.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Benjamin had taken Fluffy to the top floor last night after compiling a final list of experiments, built a simple bed with the contents of the shopping centre, and began to rest in peace.
The top floor was the dining area, which was simply perfect as a rest area after the zombies had been cleared out.
When the shopping complex was built, tempered glass was used as the construction material for the roof, so unlike the darkness inside the other floors, the sunlight was able to shine through the skylights and brighten up the top floor.
Benjamin simply washed up and then enjoyed breakfast with Fluffy, the zombie-infested scene outside did not affect them at all.
And so, a new day began from here.
[Remaining Survival Time: 13 days and 18 hours]
Benjamin glanced at the prompt under the survival task, there were still 11 remaining survivors, so it was evident that the newcomer contractors who entered the world this time were very resilient.
‘Innate Awakener talent contractors are just not the same ah, a day has passed and actually none of them are cold.’
Thinking about the Initial Space that I experienced, the protective light film just disappeared and there were four left, what about the promised newcomer's lack of human rights?
‘Snobby Reincarnation Space!’
Cursing in his heart, Benjamin began to rebuild the entrances and exits.
In order to completely remove the remaining zombies inside the building, Benjamin sealed all the original four entrances and exits of the shopping centre yesterday, and now he needed to re-establish one in a safe location.
The effect of [Alchemy] appeared once again, Benjamin only consumed a certain amount of MP to build the new entrance and exit, the construction site was on the first floor so that the zombies from the outside couldn't get in, but Benjamin could go in and out smoothly through the [Spider Silk].
‘Perfect! Next, it's time to hunt the experiments.’
Benjamin looked out from the entrance and exit, as time passed, the zombies that were sleeping in the city were awakened one by one, and now there were zombie groups wandering back and forth in the streets now and then.
As Benjamin looks out over the streets, a portion of the zombies sense his lifebreath and move quickly towards where the entrance and exit are located.
Then ...... they could do nothing.
Benjamin stood on the first floor, which is where ordinary zombies can't even reach, and even if they were exhausted they wouldn't be able to touch Benjamin's shoes.
So this group of zombies that were attracted to the area could only stare down below, with their heads raised, hands up, and making weird hissing sounds every now and then.
‘Make sure it's safe, at least these scum can't get up.’
Benjamin picked up the rope ready next to him and threw it downwards, catching a zombie in the neck before pulling the rope taut and yanking it upwards.
‘Step up yo~ hey hey yo~’
Accompanied by a weird slogan, Benjamin pulled the zombie to the entrance and exit position, and took out his longsword to dryly cut off the zombie's limbs.
Looking at the zombie lying writhing on the ground, Benjamin expressionlessly stretched out his right hand wearing [Lightning Strike Ring] and aimed it at his target.
[Lightning Strike].
An arc of electricity shoots out from the ring and hits the zombie, electrifying it to the point that it keeps convulsing as if it has epilepsy.
After the electric shock, a very strange smell floated in the air, a mixture of the zombie's own rotten stench and the smell of burning feathers caused by the electric shock.
This caused Benjamin to frown, secretly deciding that he must prepare a gas mask for future experiments.
[You have inflicted damage to zombies through lightning, meeting the concealment requirement of this INITIAL SPACE]
[You have mastered the skill [Mastery of Thunder Element Basics]]
The prompt that popped up in front of his eyes made Benjamin couldn't help but wave his fist, praising his resourcefulness once again.
Gathering the thunder element on his palm, a conspicuous arc of electricity kept jumping around his fingertips along with a slight numbing sensation.
‘Experiment successful, now proceed to the next stage.’
Dragging the still-smoking zombie to the preserved food area on the ground floor, this was the place where the second experiment was conducted.
Benjamin had cleared the area ahead of time, emptying the freezer of meat that had gone rotten and pouring some water into it.
‘Q. How many steps are involved in loading the zombies into the freezer?’
‘A, in three steps, pull open the fridge door, stuff the zombie inside, and then close the fridge door.’
Benjamin was talking nonsense to Fluffy while loading the zombie into the freezer as he said, and then condensed the thunder element to start energising the freezer ......
